189: All Kinds of Beings (I)

The day after the hearing concluded, Green immediately published the announcement he had drafted long ago.

A total of four announcements:

"Announcement Regarding the Public Solicitation of Construction Funds and Engineering Teams for the 6 Auxiliary Wizard Towers within the Plant Heart Academy's 10-Year Plan, Openly Bidding to the Entire Mist Coast"

"Announcement Regarding the Public Bidding to the Entire Mist Coast for Talent Introduction, Market-Oriented Development, Functional Positioning, and Co-construction and Sharing Projects for the 6 Auxiliary Wizard Towers of the Plant Heart Academy"

"Announcement of Intent to Bid for Planning and Cooperation Projects related to Bio-armor—the Plant Heart Academy's Future Century Strategic Industry"

"Announcement of Regulations Regarding the Recruitment of a Cooperative Formal Wizard Team by His Excellency, Tier 2 High-level Wizard Joyce, to Jointly Venture and Further Study in the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World"

...As soon as the four announcements were released, Plant Heart Academy immediately became the focal point of the entire Mist Coast Wizarding World, and countless eyes gathered upon Plant Heart Wizard Academy.

It is foreseeable that, for the next ten years, Plant Heart Academy will remain exposed under the public spotlight, becoming the most watched place on the entire Mist Coast.

And this was precisely Green's ultimate goal.

"Compared to plotting secretly like a Black Wizard, I prefer being a White Wizard. Isn't an open conspiracy much more refreshing?"

"Hehe..."

"Now that the bait is set, all I have to do is wait for the big fish to bite..."

"With the resources of the entire Mist Coast as the foundation, building merely 6 Auxiliary Wizard Towers won't be difficult..."

"I just wonder, with so many resources available, will some muddle-headed fools actively jump out and cause trouble? If there really are some, then Teacher Joyce can properly make an example of them. That way, Plant Heart Academy can enjoy decades of peace, and I can safely hide out in the Heart of Plants..."

Green stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling clouds outside the window of the library on the fourth floor of the Wizard Tower, constantly pondering. For the sake of a beautiful future, the foundation laid during these 10 years should be as solid as possible, and Teacher Joyce needed to help establish authority and resolve troubles... In Green's eyes, Teacher Joyce was currently an incredibly thick thigh to hug. If he didn't quickly fleece some wool now, Green would definitely regret it later... Radiant Fire Wizard Academy.

Beside an overflowing Sub-Elemental Pool sat a row of exactly 12 figures radiating an imposing aura.

Wizard Malthus, whom Green had met outside the Ancient Elf Secret Realm, was among them. Judging by the seating order, Wizard Malthus, a Peak Tier 1 Wizard, could only sit in the fifth position.

If this news were to spread, it would likely cause an uproar and shock countless Wizards.

One must know that in the Mist Coast, only Wizard Joyce managed to support a Wizard Academy entirely by himself and gradually elevate it to one of the Seven Towers of the Seven Towers Alliance, thanks to his impressive battle achievements, established reputation, and his distinguished background originating from the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World.

The entire Mist Coast has nearly 20 White Wizard Academies, but only 7 Wizard Academies in the Seven Towers Alliance can acquire an Executive Tower Seat and obtain exclusive resources. For example, the fruit of life that Green consumed is a top-tier resource that only Wizard Academies with Executive Tower Seats are qualified to internally compete for and consume.

However, the other Seven Towers Alliance Wizard Academies usually only have 2 to 5 Formal Wizards stationed there, and Radiant Fire Wizard Academy officially only has 7 Formal Wizards on the surface.

No one would have expected that Radiant Fire Academy, which has held the title of the strongest Wizard Academy on the Mist Coast for hundreds of years, possessed such astonishing hidden reserves.

A full 12 Formal Wizards!

In this Wizard World, where cultivation is difficult, the main theme is great recovery and great development, and the world rules suppress advancement, becoming a Formal Wizard is a feat comparable to ascending to heaven.

Describing it as thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge is no exaggeration!

...

Malthus, what is your view on His Excellency Joyce's team recruitment matter?"

The speaker was the most distinguished and honored elderly Wizard sitting there—Wizard Groot. He was the previous Headmaster of Radiant Fire Academy, a powerful Wizard stuck just outside the threshold of Tier 2 Wizardry. It is said that this legendary figure of the Mist Coast could have broken through to Tier 2 Wizard long ago, but he was delayed because he had not gathered the appropriate resources.

"Headmaster, based on my century-long experience dealing with His Excellency Joyce, if this recruitment announcement was published by Plant Heart, His Excellency Joyce must have approved it and strongly supports it."

Wizard Malthus has served as the diplomatic ambassador for Radiant Fire Wizard Academy for many years. He has deep connections with the leaders of various academies and had provided considerable assistance when Plant Heart Academy first established itself on the Mist Coast, forging a friendship.

"I believe everyone knows that when His Excellency Joyce first arrived at the Mist Coast more than a hundred years ago, he stated he only wanted to leave the legacy of his school of thought here, to leave a root. His Excellency Joyce will eventually return to the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World."

"And this time, His Excellency Joyce is fulfilling his promise. We should strongly support this, especially since His Excellency Joyce is offering quite generous treatment."

"As long as one can recruit 5 Formal Wizards, they can join His Excellency Joyce's team and become one of the co-founders, traveling together to the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World."

"Presumably, with His Excellency Joyce, a local expert, leading the way—a Tier 2 Wizard plus dozens of Tier 1 Formal Wizards—they will surely be able to gain a foothold in the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World. At that time, perhaps the Headmaster will even have hope of becoming a Tier 2 High-level Wizard and promoting the legacy of our Radiant Fire Academy."

...

That's right, what's the point of staying cooped up in this small Mist Coast? If we can establish a Wizard Academy in the Middle-earth Continent Wizard World, that would truly bring glory to our ancestors and honor our family name..."

"Well said. The Middle-earth Continent, our holy land! I never thought we 'country bumpkins' might actually become 'city folk' one day. Staying here on the Mist Coast, we might be Tier 1 Formal Wizards our whole lives, but going to a prosperous place like the Middle-earth Continent, everyone might have hope of becoming a Tier 2 Wizard, or even a Tier 3 Wizard..."

"Tier 2 Wizards are truly magnificent. They even allow us to recruit people ourselves and manage them ourselves. As long as we gather 5 people to form a 6-person squad, we can also be so-called co-founders of the entrepreneurial team and become bosses together. Now we don't have to worry about being sold out as cannon fodder..."

"Yes, His Excellency Joyce certainly lives up to his reputation. He has a kind heart and treats his disciples extremely well. Cooperating with a White Wizard of noble character and righteous conduct saves a lot of worry. I'm even considering moving some of my family's younger generation to Plant Heart Academy..."

Everyone's eyes turned red, and they discussed wildly, their enthusiasm for joining His Excellency Joyce's entrepreneurial team was fervent; they wished they could immediately sprout wings and fly to Plant Heart Academy... "Ahem..."

Wizard Groot slowly said:

"I don't oppose joining the entrepreneurial team. I want to join too..."

"The current meeting topic is how to reasonably allocate who goes out to start the venture and who stays home to guard the foundation. While striving for a future in the civilized holy land is certainly good, gentlemen, do not forget that this place is our root. The legacy of Radiant Fire Academy cannot be broken in our generation..."

"Let's discuss it now. Who goes? Who stays?"
