The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 43 Work
Regardless, the welcome will go on.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Blue began the next part of the welcome party.

He invited Lynn to come to the front and said:

"According to the rules of the association, you will need to select a job for yourself in the presence of everyone."

Blue took out a few pieces of white paper, which recorded the current vacant positions within the association.

Lynn took it and Blue continued to introduce:

“Generally speaking, the work within the association is mainly divided into two categories: protection and technology.

“Guarding is easy to understand; it is about protecting the association’s various industries.

"Technology, on the other hand, refers to specialized work such as potion making and witch array maintenance, which are usually safer."

Lynn nodded and continued to look at the detailed job information.

He quickly found two positions that stood out from the crowd.

"Golden Shadow Caravan Guards:
"The Golden Shadow Society's caravan will go to the Black Rose Wizard Territory twice a month. The wizard in charge of this position needs to follow the caravan throughout the journey. The monthly salary is 35 primary magic stones and 10 contribution points."

This is the highest paying position among all the vacancies.

But its disadvantages are also obvious. It is not only dangerous, but also extremely energy-consuming.

After all, you can't meditate frequently during the process of guarding, and you don't have any magic veins. If you want to ensure the speed of cultivation, you can only consume magic stones to cultivate, which is also a considerable expense.

The second position is technical.

"Witch array maintenance personnel:
"I am responsible for the maintenance of some of the businesses under the Golden Shadow Society, such as the Cui Man Restaurant and the Red Maple Tavern. The monthly salary is 5 magic stones and 5 contribution points.

"Note: The school can provide some basic knowledge of witchcraft for learning."

There was nothing to hesitate about. After just a quick comparison, Lin En made the decision.

"I choose the position of witch array maintenance staff, Lord Blue."

However, when Blue heard his choice, he paused and kindly reminded him:
"Are you sure you want to choose this job?"

Following the rules of the association, the two of them stood in front of the stage and did not lower their voices when talking.

So the guests in the audience could hear it clearly and immediately started whispering.

"I guessed right, either the caravan guard or the witch array maintenance staff... Newcomers are always attracted to these two positions."

"Being a caravan guard is fine. If there is no hope of promotion, you can go there to earn some money for retirement...

"But the wizard array maintenance staff are different. Everyone knows that Faruga has a bad temper and is stingy. He hides the little wizard array knowledge he has mastered very well...

"If you want to learn the knowledge of witch formation maintenance from him, it's impossible without suffering a little."

Franky was sitting down there, and he started to get mad again, yelling at the top of his voice:

"Don't talk nonsense. The association has rules that you cannot interfere with the judgment of new members."

Lin En listened to everyone's words. He was not someone who would not listen to advice.

After thinking carefully, he continued to ask Blue:
"I see that this position states that the society will provide some basic knowledge of witchcraft for learning. Is that true?"

"Of course." Blue nodded, "But it only provides knowledge. The association does not provide teaching. It is not the complete basic knowledge of witch formations, and it does not provide all the knowledge at once. Instead, it is divided into multiple parts that are progressive.

"Only by proving to the association that you have learned the previous part can you continue to acquire the next part of knowledge."

Bruce paused here and said in a deep voice,
"I also need to remind you that technical positions usually have assessments. If you fail, you will be compensated with magic stones at the very least, or have your contribution points deducted at the worst.

"The wizard formation maintenance assessment will be conducted three months after taking over the job. If you fail, you will need to pay 15 primary magic stones and 20 contribution points will be deducted. There will be an assessment every month after that. If you fail, 20 contribution points will be deducted each time."

"The basic contribution points for third-class members are 100. If all of them are deducted, they will be persuaded to leave the association."

Lynn nodded, and felt a little relieved when listening to Blue's serious words.

With his gift for understanding, strictly speaking, he doesn't need any teaching at all, all he needs is knowledge.

"Is Mr. Faruga the manager of the witch array maintenance personnel?" Lin En thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Strictly speaking, no." Blue shook his head.
"There is no hierarchy among the witch formation maintenance personnel. All personnel are on the same level, but they are responsible for different witch formations.

"It's just that Mr. Faruga is a second-class member and has more experience in maintaining the magic array, so usually newcomers will be trained by him for a period of time."

"Sir Farruga is a second-class wizard apprentice?"

"No, I'm just a second-class member."

Lin En nodded, and roughly understood the situation. He continued calmly, "I still decided to choose the job of witch array maintenance, Lord Blue."

Blue glanced at him and did not dissuade him any further. He just nodded and said, "As you wish."

He took out a few contracts and motioned for Lynn to sign them.

Lynn took the contract and looked at it carefully.

In the hall, the wizards were whispering, obviously not optimistic about his decision.

Franky was the happiest among them. He slapped his thigh and laughed:

"Stupid, really stupid!

"I'm waiting to see you spend a lot of magic stones to reapply to the association for a change of position!"

Lin En looked calm, and without even raising his head, he asked Blu beside him calmly:
“Mr. Blue, if I remember correctly, this is the welcome party that the association prepared for me.

"Why is there an unpleasant dog barking mixed in with the welcome?"

He did not lower his voice, and his words were clearly audible in the synagogue.

The long sword worn at the waist suddenly opened a little automatically, and a sharp airflow burst out, making a whistling sound.

The scream lasted only a moment before disappearing, and the sword returned to its place, but the remaining airflow still made the robes of everyone in the hall rustle.

The synagogue also fell silent.

If Lin En's words only made the people present feel that he was sharp-tongued, then the extraordinary power he displayed at this moment elevated this sharp-tonguedness to the calmness of a strong man!

When White Crow swordsmanship is practiced to the highest level, he can possess attack power equivalent to that of a second-class apprentice.

Although Lin En has not yet reached the peak of his practice, the power of his White Crow swordsmanship is equivalent to that of an excellent 0-ring lower-grade witchcraft.

In the past, he could only wrap air currents around the blade when swinging the sword, but recently he made some progress while studying the small wind shield technique.

Lin En is now able to make more precise control of the White Crow airflow.

Lynn continued to review the contract.

This calm yet not weak look made Franky feel powerless and very depressed.

He originally wanted to stay and regain the face he had just lost from Lin En, but he never thought...

Thinking of the power displayed by Lynn, Franky began to reflect on himself and wondered if he had picked the wrong target.

His expression changed again and again, and finally he laughed and said:

"I mean well, Mr. Lin En. I also chose the job of maintaining the witch formation...Faluga is really abominable. I just don't want to see you fall into the trap.

"As you said before, I just made a mistake in who to blame... It was just a misunderstanding."

Lin En finally looked up at him and said with a calm smile:
"Thank you for your concern, I don't take it to heart."

Franky continued to laugh on his face, but he was extremely annoyed when he saw Lin's calm appearance.

Who said he was just a third-class apprentice who had just advanced?

The unknown airflow witchcraft just now was so powerful and it was instantaneous!

You have to know that only when you are extremely proficient in a certain witchcraft, proficient enough to successfully establish witchcraft runes in your spiritual sea, can you cast it instantly.

Before this, specific gestures and spells were required to cast witchcraft.

"It doesn't matter... You actually dared to choose the witch formation for maintenance... Hehe..."

After saying this, Franky didn't have the face to stay here any longer. He just left a gift and hurried away.

After Blue announced the work assignment results and officially presented Lynn with the membership badge, the induction ceremony came to a successful conclusion.

Lynn stood at the door and said goodbye to each visitor.

He could feel that the other members were noticeably more enthusiastic towards him.

The farewell greetings before leaving were obviously more sincere and warmer. "Sure enough, this is still a world where strength is respected."

Lin En had just finished dealing with the last member and was about to leave.

A drunken middle-aged man with a third-class member badge of the Golden Shadow Society suddenly walked into the hall and asked with half-opened eyes:

"Are you Lynn Kent, the eliminated apprentice who was just promoted?"
