As soon as this recruitment order was issued, it immediately attracted many adventurers.
First, the credibility of this work is very high. The official credit of the Northwest Republic has always been very good. Anyone who cooperates with it may not be able to make a lot of money, but it is the only one who loses money. Even if they fail to earn any benefits, the officials of the Northwest Republic will use their own money to subsidize it. In short, they will never let their partners suffer.
With this premise, the adventurers are willing to believe in the official sincerity of the Northwest Republic - if it were another country, they may not have this confidence. After all, in other countries, people were killed because "you know too much" Things happen from time to time.
In other words, when a country needs adventurers to do something, in most cases it is very dangerous - in every sense, it is very dangerous.
Secondly, the job pays well. If you can improve your strength, you can get a stable job in the Northwest Republic, and then you can almost retire with honor. Even if you can't improve your strength, spending half a year to a year to get a large amount of money and a piece of magic equipment that suits you is not a loss.
Finally, and most importantly. This job allows me to have close contact with a senior legendary powerhouse, which lasts for half a year to a year. If within this six months to one year, I can get the appreciation of that powerful senior, I might be able to reach the sky in one step. Moreover, that "senior" might be very old. This time he recruited people for training, possibly with the intention of finding a successor to his legacy. If I could become his heir and inherit his legacy...
Okay, let’s wipe the saliva from the corner of our mouth first.
In short, the number of applicants far exceeded Sui Xiong's expectations, so much so that he was stunned.
"... Could it be that all the middle-level adventurers from all over the world are here?" Looking at the heavy stacks of application lists in front of him, he said with some surprise, "Are there so many middle-level adventurers in the world?"
"Not only adventurers signed up, but also many middle-level people who were not adventurers signed up." The clerk in charge of handling this matter said, "There are even many nobles."
"...A nobleman doesn't work hard to manage the family's territory and comes here to receive training. Is there something wrong with their brains?"
"I think their thoughts are very normal." Hopes Wilder, a clerk temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Mines, sighed and said, "Actually, I also want to receive this special training, but I am busy with work and it is really too late. Don’t open your body.”
"You? I remember you are now the secretary of the Ministry of Mines, right? You came here to receive special training. Johnny and Old Reif had to go to the temple to protest."
Hopps smiled and said nothing more about training.
Since that joint exploration, Hopps has been favored by Minister Reif of the Ministry of Mines, and he has changed his profession from miners to become a clerk. His literacy and arithmetic skills are really good, and he is good at interacting with people, so his work is getting smoother. Ten years later, he became the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Mines. He is the right-hand man of the current Mining Minister Johnny Lydon. If there are no accidents, this seat will probably be his after Minister Johnny retires.
If at this time, he went to receive special training and become a high-level strongman, he might have to go to explore and lead the first team. Although for the Northwest Republic, a high-level exploration master is no worse than a mining minister, for the Ministry of Mining, which is relatively lacking in intellectuals, it will obviously have a great impact if the future minister becomes an exploration master. Work.
Sui Xiong joked that Minister Johnny and Old Minister Reiff might go to the Temple of the Void to protest. It was really not just a joke, it might actually be possible.
Of course Hopps knew this, so he didn't say anything about it again.
But in his heart he couldn't help complaining about his old friends.
Among his old friends, many are engaged in mining. Dudu Hill, as a royal family of the dwarf kingdom, has returned to the country after completing his studies, but Sid Booker and Ruby Siriu are still in the northwest. republic. It's just that one of these two old friends changed careers and became a scholar. He spent his whole day wandering around the mountains looking for mineral veins, or writing articles in the study room and library. He had no intention of serving in the Ministry of Mining. The other was working in the mining industry. However, he serves as an exploration team instructor, and he strongly expresses that he has no interest in civilian work and will continue to work as an instructor until retirement...
As a result, among the elite of the exploration team, only Hopps eventually became a civilian employee of the Ministry of Mines.
(Oh! If they can share the work for me, I can come to participate in this training!)
Hopps is considered a promising young man, and he is only around thirty now, which is the golden age for improving his strength. He is currently a mid-level druid, and is almost mid-level as a ranger. Although it cannot be compared with the high-level Sid Booker, Ruby Sriou and Fela Kenji, if they can receive training, they can probably be promoted to high-level.
Although he is a civilian employee, as the saying goes, "Every mage has the heart to wield a sword and fight head-on." Hopps actually yearns for that kind of heroic life - the paperwork is too cumbersome and boring. He needs to compare several documents to determine various big and small things and various grass-roots situations, which turn into piles of information. It often makes him dizzy when looking at it, but he still has to remember it roughly. It is simply more difficult than going to school. .
But no matter what, there is always someone to do the work.
His child is about to enter elementary school. When classmates talk about "my dad" in school, he hopes that his son can be proud of him.
Well, the job of Minister of Mines is indeed something that his son can be proud of.
(...Actually, high-level adventurers are also pretty good...)
Hopps carefully processed the information that had been screened and needed further processing, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
He didn't know that his inner thoughts had already been clearly seen by Sui Xiong.
Looking at Hopps' inner thoughts, Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile.
A prosperous country needs people in all kinds of jobs. I only know that blindly pursuing strength and resorting to militarism will not lead to a good future.
Perhaps for Hopps personally, it is a pity that he cannot become a high-level powerhouse. But for the entire Northwest Republic, the value of a competent mining minister is far more than that of a high-ranking powerful man.
If you calculate carefully, the value of the leaders of several major departments in the Northwest Republic should be equivalent to that of a junior legendary.
So although he sympathized a little with Hopps, he had no intention of helping Hopps change positions.
(Interesting young man, just run towards the promising goal of becoming the Minister of Mines! I will cheer for you~)
