Chapter 416 Interviewing and Team Formation

  Chapter 416 Interview and Team Formation

  One month later, in Locke's office.

 Locke borrowed the name of the Plutarch family to recruit breeders throughout the Six Towers who wanted to participate in the Yunze Cup and held interviews.

  The interview was divided into two times. The first time was conducted by the old wizard Collins and Claudia, and the second time was by Locke himself.

 Because some unqualified wizards can be eliminated in the early auditions, the quality of the wizards interviewed in Locke's office is quite high, including family wizards and civilian wizards.

 Locke asked one of the family wizards to leave his office, and at the same time ordered the next wizard to enter his office. "Next, please come in."

   The number of civilian wizards who submit resumes is still very small. Locke thought: "I guess there are still many civilian wizards waiting to watch, or they think this is another show, so the number of people signing up is not very large.  

        In the land of Six Towers, the only people who can use it are the civilian wizards. The remaining family wizards are the relatively marginalized wizards from small clans. Otherwise, even if others are capable, I won't be able to command them. 』

    『I need to set an example and let the outstanding civilian breeders from the land of six towers take the initiative to come for interviews, so that I can have a chance to win the Yunze Cup. Otherwise, relying on one person to fight alone in such a big competition will be seriously insufficient. 』

Locke glanced at the list of major projects and information in the Land of Six Towers that Alicia ordered to send over, looking for his own useful semi-finished magic plant projects.

 At the same time, a young ordinary first-level wizard walked into his room. Locke looked up and looked at him, "Have we met before? Oh, by the way, we have met in the library."

 Locke remembered that the other person was the ordinary wizard who only had level 4 permissions, so he could only sit lonely in the corner of the library, unable to access information.

 However, in fact, to ordinary students in the land of six towers, this man is still a high-ranking figure and a boss.

  Everything is contrasted.

 This is also the reason why some civilian first-level wizards are willing to stay in the land of Six Towers to live a stable life and retire.

  Montgomery Paul saw Locke and remembered him, and a flash of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes. "Sir Augustine, I never expected that you would remember me just after meeting me once in the library. I am Montgomery Paul, a wizard of the first level of botany, and also a senior breeder."

 For Paul, it is rare for a liquefaction wizard in the land of six towers to remember his name, and it is a happy thing for him.

  After all, he has been outside the mainstream wizard community of White Dragon Magic Gem University for a long time. Because he also knows that he is just a commoner, he has given up long ago and has no interest in promoting his teaching position here.

He doesn’t even have any first-class wizard apprentices or students who are second-class wizard apprentices. He just teaches some public classes at the White Dragon Tower. He is really an inconspicuous marginal figure.

 Locke nodded. "Well, I have a good memory. I saw you before, so I remembered you."

 Locke knew that remembering someone would undoubtedly make people happy.

Montgomery said: "I have been saving money for several years and want to buy a ticket to other wizarding places. My goal is to go to the Spiral Basin."

 "Many civilian wizards who have become first-circle wizards in our six-tower land have gone there, and there are some organizations similar to mutual aid societies there. Originally, I also wanted to quit my teaching position here and go there to try my luck, even if I can't get any teaching position for the time being."

"However, Mr. Augustine, at this time, you suddenly want to form a team of breeders to participate in the Yunze Cup...so I also want to give it a try."

 "I think this may be an opportunity for me."

 There is a glimmer of hope in Montgomery's eyes.

 Locke looked at the resume provided to Montgomery and was slightly surprised. "You have not published any association A-level articles, nor have you done any larger projects related to breeding?" Montgomery hesitated and handed over a new resume. "No, that's not the case. In fact, I am Eric Plutarch's ghostwriter. I was born in a poor family in the land of six towers. My background is insignificant. Do you know how I got here?"

  Locke glanced at him.

Montgomery continued: "Eric Plutarch discovered my talent in the mortal world in the Land of Six Towers, gave me food and clothing, allowed me to receive wizard education, and became friends with me. Up to this point, I was very grateful to him and wanted to repay him. But then I suddenly understood that in the Land of Six Towers, we civilian wizards will never be qualified to be friends with their family wizards."

Montgomery showed a painful expression. "In fact, all of Eric Plutarch's articles on breeding were written by me!"

Locke raised his eyebrows, because Eric had at least two Association S-level articles on breeding, and he also had a lot of Association S-level articles in other fields, especially the field of bloodline science.

 Locke had long suspected that the guy couldn't have done this himself.

 Unexpectedly, when I was recruiting people to participate in the Yunze Cup, I would actually meet one of the ghostwriters of that guy Eric.

 Montgomery told Locke painfully: "Eric became my friend with bad intentions from the beginning. He was like cultivating a fruit tree and only waited for the tree to mature before picking the fruit." After becoming a first-level wizard, I still wrote articles for him." Montgomery said with some excitement: "He even banned me from leaving the Six Towers. He wanted to continue to squeeze me. He would not let me go until everything in me was squeezed out by him and nothing could be squeezed out."

Locke asked strangely: "What about you?"

Montgomery realized that he had let slip. He could only take a deep breath, then thought of something, and took the initiative to tell Locke frankly: "I haven't bought the ticket yet, okay, actually, I am planning to sneak to the Spiral Basin. The Spiral Basin is connected to the land of the Six Towers by land, and it is the easiest to cross among all the natural chasms. Many of my predecessors are in the same situation as me. We are in the natural dangers, and we have managed to carve out a relatively safe road, although it is still very dangerous."

 "But through that road, there may be a way to escape the physical coercion of the wizard family here in the Land of Six Towers."

 Locke suddenly asked: "So, the so-called cooperative association in the Spiral Basin should have been established by dark wizards, right? Were you originally planning to become a dark wizard?"

Montgomery was stunned for a moment, and then said to Locke: "Sir Augustine, you are so perceptive."

 "Yes, only the Black Wizards Alliance in the Spiral Basin dares to accept us and give us protection. The White Wizards Association in the Spiral Basin and the White Wizards Association in the Land of Six Towers are likely to collude with each other to make some deals for some economic benefits and smuggle us out. All the wizards in the past were betrayed. Montgomery said to Locke: "Sir Augustine, I can see that you really want to win the Yunze Cup. This is very beneficial to a genius like you. Even if you are in the Land of Six Towers, a guest of the Plutarch family, and the most important right-hand man of the Alicia family, the Land of Six Towers is still not a place where you can stay for a long time."

"If you choose me, I am willing to help you. Moreover, you are not afraid of Eric at all."

 h "I have seen it twice with my own eyes. When Eric mentioned your name, there was fear in his eyes. You are Eric's nemesis, Ai No matter how arrogant Rick is, he can't do anything to you. "

Locke quickly recalled the contents of Eric's two S-level breeding articles. He remembered that one was about the one-ring magic plant [Desert Fox Grass] and the other was about the one-ring magic plant [Climbing Hand Rose].

 These two are two new auxiliary types of magic plants that have been cultivated. The quality cannot be said to be low. Although the characteristics of the two magic plants are average in my eyes, considering that Montgomery's research conditions are very limited, it can be seen that he himself should be very talented.

  It's just a lack of sufficient resources.

Eric was just reaping the benefits of treating him as an ordinary ghostwriter.

 Locke didn't hesitate much. He definitely needed this kind of talent, and it was his own luck that his own team could even get this kind of talent.

 With Montgomery, his chances of getting ranked in the Yunze Cup will be greatly improved.

 Locke asked a few questions about Montgomery and discovered that this guy's talent in breeding was even slightly higher than his actual level.

  He was able to answer some of his own questions about breeding very quickly.

  There are some questions that he has never heard before and does not understand this part of the knowledge, but he reacts quickly and can draw inferences from one instance to another. The conclusions are often almost the same as the information in Locke's hands.

Locke thought in his mind: "Talent. But if this were not the case, in the land of the Six Towers, how could these civilian wizards become first-level wizards without talents that surpassed ordinary wizards. 』

    『Essentially, they have been selected by the waves. Among the civilian wizards who can appear in front of me, which one was not a little genius when he was young. If I had not appeared in the land of six towers, Montgomery would probably have found a way to sneak across and escape to avoid Eric's pursuit. If successful, he will win a new life in the Spiral Basin and become a dark wizard.  

               If he fails, he will die in the natural danger between the two wizarding places, and no one will know. 』

Locke suddenly realized something. In the wizard plane, the dark wizard who competed with the great wizard Sura for plane resources seemed to be from the Spiral Basin, according to the great wizard Sura.

  Could it be said that the other party was once a ghostwriter for the great wizard Sulla?
