"Hello, Breeder Augustine. I am a wizard instructor from the wizard organization Arrow Stream Bay in Cloud Marsh Wetland, Wizard Tux, and also a marine wizard." Wizard Tux saw Locke walking out of Kalimra Frontier Town with his research team heading toward the wizard airship. His eyes immediately lit up, and he took the opportunity to approach and speak with him.

Locke glanced at Wizard Tux before him and discovered the other party was a First Circle crystallization stage wizard with some students following behind.

Wizard Tux saw Locke looking at him and immediately pulled out a contract. "Breeder Augustine, I also watched the Cloud Marsh Cup competition. Your performance was very outstanding."

"This is our teaching contract invitation from Arrow Stream Bay. We at Arrow Stream Bay are a wizard organization in Cloud Marsh Wetland with a large scale, thousands of students, and many First Circle wizards. We want to invite you to become a Lecturing Wizard at our Arrow Stream Bay, and we promise to provide you with free housing in the wizard residential area near Arrow Stream Bay, plus equip you with a set of First Circle magical creatures, a Flame Spirit Bright Horse carriage, for your travel use."

Wizard Tux revealed a smile. "Besides providing you with housing and a carriage, we can also provide you with an opportunity to enter a wizard secret realm once every two years in the near future. It's a First Circle level wizard secret realm."

"In addition, our academy will also guarantee that within five years, you'll become a wizard instructor and obtain the position of wizard instructor."

Wizard Tux from Arrow Stream Bay continuously made promises to Locke and stuffed the contract into Locke's hands. "Breeder Augustine, as long as you join our Arrow Stream Bay, there's even a complete set of talent and new instructor cultivation plans specially designed for you to choose from."

"It can be said that choosing our Arrow Stream Bay is absolutely worthwhile."

"Our Arrow Stream Bay is a wizard organization mainly focused on the marine magic subcategory of the Life School. We're all from the Life School, so Arrow Stream Bay also has a breeder academy."

Wizard Tux handed the magic quill pen and the contract formulated by a contract specialist to Locke. "Breeder Augustine, if you're willing, you can sign the contract right now. You can check the relevant benefits and treatment in the contract. I can guarantee that all these benefits and treatments, our Arrow Stream Bay can deliver!"

Locke pondered for a moment. He didn't intend to sign right now, after all, this kind of thing required careful consideration.

After the Cloud Marsh Cup, he would receive more and more teaching position invitation letters.

At that moment, Witch Diana brought her research team and was also heading toward the wizard airship docking area. She saw Wizard Tux and his light blue wizard robe with three simplified bay current patterns in the center of the chest. She suddenly spoke, "Arrow Stream Bay? Isn't that a small to medium-sized wizard organization in Cloud Marsh Wetland? One that only became a small to medium-sized organization in recent years. Although there are many students, they basically all paid magic stones to attend school. It's hard to say how much profit they can bring to the wizard organization."

"The number of truly important first-class and second-class wizard apprentices is very small. There aren't many people who can do work, but there are many people who want to enjoy resources."

Witch Diana glanced at the embarrassed-looking Wizard Tux, then said to Locke, "Those things that Arrow Stream Bay can promise are all within easy reach for you, Locke. Although they say they can provide you with housing in Cloud Marsh Wetland, in Cloud Marsh Wetland, a house in a wizard residential area costs a sky-high price, so they're only letting you use it. Once you leave Arrow Stream Bay, they'll forcibly require you to leave that house."

"That carriage is the same. The Flame Spirit Bright Horse carriage is extremely valuable. How many carriages can your Arrow Stream Bay have? If it's shared by a group of wizards, then it's equivalent to having none."

"Just waiting in line will take a long time."

Witch Diana looked at Locke and said, "Also, never believe what these small wizard organizations promise about making you a wizard instructor within a few years. That kind of rhetoric. Proper wizard instructor teaching positions need to be registered with the White Wizard Association."

"Each position is fixed. Behind teaching positions are corresponding social status and resource allocation. Even if you leave Arrow Stream Bay, your identity as a wizard instructor will be recognized by other wizard organizations under the White Wizard Association."

"Small wizard organizations like this can't possibly have that many teaching position quotas to allocate to you, so these wizard instructors they speak of only enjoy treatment equivalent to wizard instructors, either in full or in part, within their academy, and enjoy having students call you instructor."

Witch Diana said, "Actually, all of this is useless. That's not a proper teaching position. You're just a Lecturing Wizard enjoying high treatment."

"It has no useful help at all for you to apply for specific fund resources from the White Wizard Association."

Wizard Taric looked somewhat embarrassed at Witch Diana, bowed to her, then smiled bitterly and said, "Witch Diana, why must you speak so absolutely? How does this leave room for us small and medium-scale wizard organizations to survive?"

Wizard Taric no longer spoke to Locke as excitedly as before, but rather recovered his calm and said to Locke, "But we small wizard organizations also have our advantages. First, although we're a small wizard organization, we still belong to Cloud Marsh Wetland's wizard organizations." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"We have joint cultivation policies with some relatively large wizard organizations."

"And you, as the Cloud Marsh Cup champion coming to our academy, will enjoy all of our Arrow Stream Bay's policy support. Therefore, what I promised you before may not all be false promises or exaggerated claims as Witch Diana said."

Wizard Taric smiled bitterly. "An excellent talent like Breeder Augustine would be given key cultivation anywhere, right?"

Witch Diana coldly said to Wizard Taric, "Your Arrow Stream Bay really has quite an appetite, daring to invite even the Cloud Marsh Cup champion. Don't you know your own worth?"

"Your university only has one Second Circle wizard."

"And it's a Second Circle wizard in the marine magic sub-direction of the Life School. Even so, you actually dare to issue an invitation to the Cloud Marsh Cup champion. Even if you successfully invite him, I don't think you can handle it."

Witch Diana shook her head slightly, indicating she wasn't optimistic.

Witch Diana looked at Locke, nodded slightly, then said to him, "Now that you're the Cloud Marsh Cup champion, a hot commodity, you need to be more careful about learning to distinguish the levels of those wizard organizations."

"The current you should at least have invitations from Cloud Marsh Wetland's top universities and advanced Origin Origin Academies to be worthy of you."

"After all, you're the champion, the champion who defeated me once!"

"I'll take my research team and return to Moonlight Temple first."

Witch Diana was a wizard from Moonlight Temple. After becoming a formal wizard, she also remained at her home institution. Moonlight Temple was a wizard organization with quite a few Third Circle wizards and was one of the top institutions in Cloud Marsh Wetland.

Locke nodded to her, and Witch Diana led her people toward a wizard airship boarding gate.

After Witch Diana left, Locke nodded slightly to Wizard Tux and, out of courtesy, took the contract and an invitation letter from his hands. "I'll consider it carefully, Wizard Tux."

"Arrow Stream Bay is also a good wizard organization, but I want to consider it for a while longer."

Wizard Tux's dignity was preserved, and his face immediately showed a smile. "Of course, you're the Cloud Marsh Cup champion with the right to choose from various major wizard organizations."

Wizard Tux thought for a moment and said, "Breeder Augustine, you'd better not walk forward. Up ahead are two wizard instructors from Night Dew Assembly and Thousand-Faced Water Snake who want to invite you, but forgive me for being blunt."

Wizard Tux said in a low voice, "Those two wizard organizations are even more... shady than our Arrow Stream Bay. The things they promise will be even more exaggerated. For example, they'll promise to get you a senior wizard instructor teaching position within five years."

"Just like what Witch Diana said earlier, this kind of promise has no possibility of being realized."

"Breeder Augustine, your current location information is being secretly sold externally by middlemen. Information about your itinerary might be worth a thousand magic stones per copy."

Locke's eyebrows jumped. "Am I that valuable?"

Wizard Tux smiled bitterly. "You're joking. You're the Cloud Marsh Cup champion."

"Moreover, you hold a project like Hydra. Who knows how many wizard organizations have their eyes on you? Champion means resources that can be leveraged, and Hydra means actual immediate resources. You're a young First Circle wizard who comes with large amounts of funding and projects. Ever since you won the championship, you're no longer a blank slate."

"Countless wizard organizations want to gain opportunities to apply for certain funds from the White Wizard Association through signing contracts with you."

"So, you yourself are, to wizard organizations, a walking large-scale developable resource."

Wizard Tux spoke honestly.

Locke nodded slightly to him, thanking him for the information. "Thank you, Wizard Tux. There are indeed some things I don't really know about."

Wizard Tux smiled and said, "It's nothing. Speaking of which, I was the one who disturbed you."

Locke led his team and chose a second small path toward his boarding gate. He saw from not far away that indeed several wizards were standing on his necessary route, holding some contracts, wanting to sign with him.

When Locke brought his team aboard the airship, a sharp-eyed wizard saw Locke and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, Wizard Locke! We at Thousand-Faced Water Snake are a wizard organization in the beast taming magic sub-direction of the Summoning School. Our academy has unique expertise in researching water snake-type magical creature pets."

"Recently, we opened a new academy, a breeder academy, precisely when we need capable wizards like you to join."

"Breeder Augustine... wait..."

Montgomery hurriedly spoke through a reishi magical plant set on the airship wall to the airship's central control room, "Take off quickly, or I'm really afraid those wizards will rush onto the airship."

A voice came from the reishi magical plant. "Understood. The airship will take off in one minute. Please prepare yourselves, wizards."

Locke instructed Montgomery, "Have the students quickly enter the pressure chamber. When we enter the Second Sky later, their magical pressure and mana will likely become chaotic."
