Chapter 467 Sweeper
Did he say it so soon? Thor thought that the other party would at least insist on showing him around the academy.
When Bond first showed up and praised him generously, Thor guessed that the other party might want to recruit him.
Since he even told the students at the city gate his facial features, they must have known the news of the wizard tower's collapse and Gorza's departure.
Although Thor is still Gorza's apprentice, he no longer has an organization.
If we recruit him and provide him well at this time, we can not only get a powerful official wizard, but also please Gorza.
"Brother Thor, this place is so interesting. Why don't we stay here?" As a Nightmare Butterfly, Penny really likes crowded places.
It would be even better if I could let it run wild in my dreams.
If Thor could stay here longer, we could consider recruiting him.
However, he still had a wizard tower to maintain, and looking at the prosperous Biden College in front of him, the deduction of salary could threaten a formal wizard. Obviously, they were not well off.
...Or, some key resources are monopolized by the dean.
Thor lowered his head and pretended to think for a moment, then said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Dean Pound, my tutor will have other arrangements, so I may not be able to stay here for long."
Pound was a little surprised, "Why, will Wizard Gorza come back?"
"This... the instructor didn't say it clearly."
Dean Pound did not give up immediately. He took a step back and said, "Then what about the honorary tutor? You don't need to stay in the academy every day to teach students. You just need to participate in some research projects."
Thor smiled and didn't respond this time.
Pound sighed and understood what Thor meant.
"What a pity. After hearing about your story, I really admire you. I never think that the strength of magic, mental power, and elemental perception can represent a wizard's talent. I believe that the real talent should be the wizard's mind and the spirit of never giving up research."
Dean Pang De pointed to the vast Baidong College behind him and said, "There were many seniors and juniors who followed my mentor back then, but in the end, only I became a second-level student."
"My talent is almost at the bottom among them, but I have never given up on my research. It is with this spirit of never giving up that I have developed the Baidong Academy, which was just a remnant of a small army, into what it is today."
Dean Pound’s mentor should be the third-level wizard who moved mountains and buried hundreds of wizards in Chuishou Valley more than a hundred years ago.
It seems that he died shortly after Baidong occupied the ancient city of Guster.
It seems that Dean Pound is a very capable person, as he has been able to develop Baidong College and the ancient city of Archaeoster to its current level - regardless of what means he used.
At this time, Dean Pound changed the subject and invited Saul again, but this time the position was different.
"It's such a pity that someone as talented as you can't join the Baidong Academy! How about this, Thor, you major in dark witchcraft, I wonder if you are interested in evil spirits?"
Is this where the evil spirit Kismet was talking about came from?
Thor immediately showed a look of being tempted but forcibly suppressed. He asked tentatively as if jokingly, "With the powerful Baidong Academy and the prosperous Archaeological City, there should be very few evil spirits around here, right?"
Dean Pang De shook his head and sighed, "Evil spirits come from the human heart, and the human heart is the most difficult to guess. In order to facilitate the development and trade of Baidong College, we have gathered a large population in Guaster. More people means more things to do. Even if we have tried to limit their free time as much as possible and make them follow the prescribed schedule, it is difficult to avoid accidents."
Thor didn't show it on his face, but he disagreed in his heart.
Human nature yearns for freedom, and too much suppression will only lead to strong resistance.
No wonder he discovered a strange phenomenon when he entered Archaeoster.
During working hours, there are hardly any people going out on the streets, and it is obvious that they are strictly confined to their posts.
And these ordinary people are unable to find jobs that would allow them to enjoy a leisurely life.
The purpose of promoting ancient city life as so beautiful is just to attract more coolie laborers.
Saul now even suspected that the book "Farmer Little John" was just a best-seller promoted by them in order to attract people from the surrounding villages and towns to come to the city.
When ordinary people with little knowledge enter the archaeological site with the hope of a better life, they are pulled forward by the carrot hanging in front of them.
They may not necessarily get the good life they want, but Archaeology has become more prosperous because of the influx of these people.
"Do you want me to do the work of clearing away evil spirits?"
"Yes, in Baidong Academy there is a special profession called cleaner. They are responsible for dealing with evil spirits born in the city and the academy. Only the most powerful third-level apprentices and formal wizards are qualified for such work."
Dean Pound's expression turned serious.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Evil spirits will seriously affect our work efficiency and production capacity and cause panic among ordinary people. Although we are wizards, if these ordinary people cry and shout and want to leave Archaoste, we have no good way to stop them."
"Even if we threaten their lives and make them stay in Guoster, their work efficiency will be greatly reduced." Dean Pound sighed, "This is also the experience that Baidong College has summarized from the mistakes it has made over the years."
From what Dean Pound said, it seems that there was a case where ordinary people wanted to escape but were suppressed and remained in the city.
It seems that the evil spirit disaster has not only appeared in recent years, it may have become a hidden danger to Baidong College a long time ago.
However, evil spirits should be a kind of special conscious soul that is very rare and difficult to give birth to.
It tends to appear frequently in places where there have been mass deaths or serious contamination by wizards.
If it was a place where ordinary wizards lived, even if they often conducted research experiments, at most many vengeful spirits would be born. It would not be the case that such a large number of evil spirits would be born, which gave the dean a headache.
Thor blinked.
I'm afraid there are even bigger secrets within this academy and the entire city of Archaeoster.
This did not come as a surprise to him.
After learning that there were so many witchcraft props in the ancient city of Archaeoster, he thought there must be hidden dangers.
And so many evil spirits are probably the price ordinary people pay for such reforms.
"Don't worry, we are all aware of the harm and danger of evil spirits, and we won't let you take risks in vain. We have a rule that once an evil spirit appears, the first person to discover it will be rewarded, and the person who deals with it can gain more witchcraft resources, and the evil spirit will also belong to the person who dealt with it."
Thor showed an expression of obvious intention, but this time he didn't think too long.
"So, if I become a sweeper, what else do I need to do?"
