Chapter 832: Vol V Chapter 192
The moment the recruitment order was issued, it immediately attracted many adventurers.
Firstly, the job had high credibility. The official credibility of the Republic of Northwest had always been very good. Whoever cooperated with it might not necessarily make a lot of money, but there had been no precedence of anyone making a loss. Even if they were not able to earn any profits, the officials of the Republic of Northwest would take out money from their own pockets to subsidize costs. In short, they would never let their partners suffer.
It was on this premise that the adventurers were willing to trust the sincerity of the officials of the Republic of Northwest—if it had been some other country, they might not have such confidence. After all, in any other country, incidents like being killed because you knew too much, happened from time to time.
In other words, when a country needed adventurers to do things, in the vast majority of cases, these things would always be very dangerous—all very dangerous, in every sense.
Secondly, the job paid well. If they managed to improve their capabilities, they could even land a stable job in the Republic of Northwest. Thereafter, they could practically have secured an honorable retirement. Even if they could not improve their capabilities, they would still be able to earn a big sum after spending six months on training. They could even get a magic kit that suited them, so they would not be suffering any loss at all.
Last but not least, which was also the most important factor, was that the job allowed them to be in close contact with a senior Legendary Master. And the time was as long as six months to a year. If within six months to a year, they were able to gain the recognition of that senior master, they might be able to skyrocket to great heights overnight. And that “senior” might be very old, so he might be holding this recruitment with the intention of finding someone to inherit his legacy. So long as anyone could become his successor and inherit his legacy…
Alright, save the drool for later; wipe it away for now.
All in all, the number of applicants far exceeded Sui Xiong’s expectations, even to the extent of striking him dumbfounded.
“Is it possible that all the mid-ranked adventurers in the world have come?” he wondered as he looked at the few heavy stacks of application forms placed before him. He felt somewhat amazed and said, “So there are actually this many mid-ranked adventurers in this world?”
“It’s not just the adventurers who have signed up. There are also many mid-ranked figures, not adventurers, who have signed up,” said the officer of affairs in charge of handling these applications. “There are many aristocrats as well.”
“An aristocrat. Instead of doing their best to manage their family estates, would come here to be trained? Are they out of their minds?
“I feel that the way they think is normal,” said Hopes Wilder, a clerk temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Mines. He sighed and said, “In fact, I’d love to receive this training too. It’s just that I’m too busy and simply can’t get away.”
“You? If I’m not mistaken, you’re now the clerk of the Ministry of Mines, right? If you come to receive this special training, Johnny and Old Reif will definitely come running to the temple to protest.”
Hopes laughed and said nothing more about the matter on training.
Since that joint exploration, Hopes had met the satisfaction of Reif, the Minister of Mining, so he could switch from the job of a miner to a clerk. Indeed, he had outstanding capabilities in culture and arithmetic, and he was also good at communicating with people, so his career progression got better and smoother. Ten years later, he had become the chief clerk of the Ministry of Mines and was the right-hand man of the current Minister of Mining, Johnny Lydon. If nothing went wrong along the way, by the time Minister Johnny retired, his position would most likely go to Hopes.
If at this point in time, he was to choose to go and receive the special training, upon successfully becoming a high-level master, then he might have to transfer to the first-line exploration team as a leader. To the Republic of Northwest, a high-level exploration master might not be inferior to a minister of the Ministry of Mines. But to the Ministry of Mines, which was rather lacking intellects, a future minister becoming an exploration master was obviously going to greatly affect their work.
Sui Xiong jokingly said that Minister Johnny and the older Minister Reif would probably rush to the Void Temple to protest. That was not merely a joke but a real possibility.
