Chapter 466 Recruitment
Thor and the old man made a joke to each other, offsetting the unfamiliarity of their first meeting.
"Excuse me, who are you..." Thor had a vague guess in his mind.
"I am Pound, the president of Baidong College." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
The dean of Baidong College, isn’t he a second-level wizard?
Thor quickly performed the etiquette between wizards - of course, as he had a third-level wizard as his mentor, he did not need to perform such a grand ceremony.
"Hello, Dean Pound!"
"Haha, don't be so polite. Well, I see that you are already a formal wizard, worthy of being the apprentice of Wizard Gorsa. I believe that one day you will also be able to advance to the third level." Dean Pound obviously also treated him differently because of Mentor Thor.
"Thank you for your compliment, but I still have a lot to learn. By the way, why did you say that the storage device is much better than the compressed bag?"
"Although this storage device is not yet available to ordinary people, it has a large space and can be sorted and organized. Most importantly, it can store processed living things."
"It would be very convenient if we could store living things. Do we need other equipment to assist us?" Most of the items Thor brought with him were active substances.
Many witchcraft experiments also require processing the materials while they are alive.
Most active materials have extremely demanding storage conditions, so very few of them can be carried around. In many cases, they must be sold (caught) as they are used.
When Thor was in the wizard tower before, he didn't have a deep understanding of this. After leaving this time, he realized how difficult it was for a wandering wizard to live.
Fortunately, he majored in dark attributes, so the requirements for living things were relatively less.
When Pound heard Thor's guess, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you need it, you can buy a matching hibernation chamber. We have many specifications. In addition, we can also provide other storage equipment, such as soul-catching chambers." Dean Pound was not unfamiliar with selling products and was obviously used to it.
However, he might not have expected that Gorsa did not leave many magic crystals for Thor.
Even because he took the core of the wizard tower, Thor didn't feel comfortable taking away too much property from the ruins of the wizard tower.
Finally, Thor thought for a moment and bought a storage device and two sets of hibernation chambers.
Most of the magic crystals on his body were gone in an instant.
Thor had a blank expression on his face as he took out the money, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.
Because Dean Pound accompanied me throughout the process, the purchase procedure was completed very quickly.
Most of the staff members were ordinary people, and they were trembling with fear around the dean. It was obvious that the latter had a very high prestige.
After paying the money and picking up the goods, Thor looked back at the exhibition hall behind him and did not dare to stay any longer.
Dean Pound also walked out with him.
The buildings in Baidong College are more distinctive than the tall buildings in Guster. There are large flats, tall towers similar to wizard towers, and even a lake with a swaying crystal house visible underwater.
"Our college was established not long ago, but our philosophy is to recruit talents. You see, the buildings nearby are where our college tutors conduct experiments and teach." Dean Pound introduced to Sol as they walked.
This made Thor more certain of his previous guess.
When they arrived at the door of a building that looked like a haunted house, three or four wizards walked out.
Their leader was wearing a black cloak with a pair of epaulettes on his shoulders. The background was black with a blue and white wave symbol in the middle.
The few people following behind him were wearing the most common Baidong College uniforms, with two silver edges on their clothes.
"This is Mentor Jonah, who majored in dark attributes like you. Following behind should be his apprentices. Well, from the looks of their uniforms, we can tell they're all level-two apprentices." Pound introduced them to Thor more than ten meters apart.
The people on the opposite side had already seen Sol and Dean Pound, but they did not come over to say hello.
He tilted his head to look over, and the two normal eyes on his face were suddenly squeezed above the bridge of his nose.
Thor suddenly felt a spiritual force covering him.
He glanced at Pound and saw that he was smiling without any other reaction. With a slight movement of his mental power, countless translucent tentacles appeared on the surface of his skin like hairs.
The mental force that was enveloping it was instantly swallowed up by the even smaller suction cups on the tentacles.
The wizard apprentices who followed the black-cloaked Jonah over here instantly showed expressions of horror on their faces.
Jonah's eyes, which were squeezed together, quickly opened again, and then continued to stare at Thor, while the other one actually flipped over, leaving the white of the eye to the two of them.
Then Jonah opened his mouth and spoke: "Why is a formal wizard pretending to be a third-level apprentice? Is he planning to launch a sneak attack and hurt people?"
Before Sol could say anything, Dean Pound immediately rebuked him, "You're talking nonsense again! I'll deduct your salary!"
Jonah's mouth immediately closed and twitched. It was obvious that the deduction of salary was a big harm to him.
After a few seconds, he struggled to open his mouth again, but no nice words came out.
"You hired another official wizard with dark attributes. What? Are you going to fire me?"
"If Lord Thor is willing to join, I will certainly be happy to do so. Then I will send you to the Corpse Refining Building!"
“Sir Thor?” Jonah looked over again, his eyes rolling back with only the whites of his eyes left. “Is that Thor?”
Thor looked him in the eye without avoiding it, and suddenly heard Penny laughing in his mind.
"What are you laughing at?" Thor asked in his heart.
“Brother Thor, there are many voices in that guy’s body. One says he wants to please you immediately, another says he should fight you to determine his strength, and another says he just disrespected you and wants to kneel down to you! Hahahaha, they’re all about to fight.”
A lot of sounds?
Thor glanced at Jonah's body.
Could it be that there are many souls living in this guy's body?
I really want to study it.
Jonah was stared at by Thor and pulled his cloak closer with some uneasiness.
"Of course. Would I accompany other people like this?" Although Pound was quite old, he complimented without hesitation and didn't care about his face at all.
Jonah's mouth twitched again, and his eyes and eyebrows squinted, as if he had a facial spasm.
"Go to the Corpse Refining Building if you want. Anyway, I will not terminate the contract on my own initiative!" He waved his arms and said viciously.
Then, as if he was afraid that Dean Pound would deduct his salary again, he turned around and ran away.
Several apprentices who followed him saluted to Pound and Thor in panic, and then hurriedly chased after them.
"Ah... sorry to have embarrassed you." Dean Pound sighed and turned to Saul and said, "Our college recruits talents widely, and we accidentally recruited some weirdos."
Thor smiled. This Baidong Academy that emerged from the Borderlands seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
"You are too modest. It is normal for wizards to be free and straightforward."
"Haha, I'm glad you're not angry. Jonah is just like that. He's a foul-mouthed and tough guy, but he's still very serious about his work." Dean Pound looked back at the spooky building behind him that looked like a haunted house, and suddenly continued the previous topic, "By the way, I wasn't kidding just now. If you are willing to join Baidong College, I will send Jonah to the Corpse Training Building. I'll give you this laboratory directly. How about it?"
