Chapter 726: A Magician Makes a Foreigner? Don't Be Afraid, There Are Brave Men Under Heavy Reward
No matter how the magicians wail, they must be obedient. The Alchemy Guild made it very clear when it sent people here:
The project they are asked to do is the current key project of the council, and the person who leads them to do the project is the key partner of the guild.
If you do a good job, everyone will benefit. Anyone who disobeys will be kicked out of the Alchemy Guild immediately!
Therefore, the magicians had no choice but to do the experiment over and over again. Finished with wheat, made with oats, finished with oats, made with soybeans.
After finishing one field, another field is made. After the fields are made, manure, compost, biogas residue, and river mud are made again. What, dirty? Smelly?
It doesn't exist. There are cleaning techniques and bubble techniques anyway!
Of course, there will still be frowns and murmurs...
Mage Norwood was fine, no complaints. Not only did he have no resentment, he also taught his apprentices:
"I am from the Mage Tower! So are you! Relying on the topic selection direction and funds given by Master Nordmark, I advanced to a fifth-level mage in less than a year. You have all seen it! Do your best, Master Nordmark I won’t treat you badly!”
"But teacher, this really stinks..."
The two apprentices were about to burst into tears. When they entered the mage tower, they were just trainee mages, and now they are only at level one, with a limited number of spells.
With magic like bubble magic, the teacher could just put it on their head to avoid the stench, but they couldn't afford to waste it. I have no choice but to tighten the mask again and again. How much smell can be blocked?
"I am a bad old man with no talent or qualifications. If you are very good, you will not be accepted as my disciples." Master Norwood admonished them with a straight face:
"If you work with a good boss, you should work hard! Besides, if you use the boss's funds to do research, it's not like you haven't made any progress!"
The two apprentices had tears in their eyes and kept their heads down while working. They no longer dared to say, "Teacher, let me go to the side to take a breath." In the shed next to it, the leader of the alchemist, the fourth-level mage Lyman, also learned to teach people this way, but was directly pushed back by his subordinates:
"Your Majesty the Archmage~~~" The one who contradicted him was his team leader, the third-level mage Hayden. With squinting eyes and a strange accent:
"We are not from that Nordmark mage. What good does it do if we work hard? Besides, we are not lazy, we are just taking a break. Shaking the bottle will make your hands sore!"
"..."
Gretel walked over silently. He stood aside and listened for a while, then raised his voice and said:
"Mr. Leman, please write down the names of the people who have performed well in this project. Send your papers back, second and third papers, and I will take a look at the contributions."
What?
The ears of the magicians all stood up. The paper has the right of authorship, and according to the regulations of the parliament, research points will be recorded; even if it is a second or third author, there will definitely be profit sharing.
Moreover, the Guild has said that this project is a key project of the Council, and the research points for the thesis will definitely be a lot...
As long as you get a small fraction of the arcane level that has been stuck for a long time, you might be able to take a step forward!
The boss is generous!
The boss is awesome!
Good boss, may your life be safe!
Then, Grete saw those guys, and they all started to move:
The person who complained that his hands were sore also started shaking the flask, and the person who went out to avoid the smell also ran back quickly. If the project team is viewed as a lathe, then the gears are running 50% faster.
With their cooperation, Grete must fulfill his duties as a project leader. As a project leader, subject leader, and boss, the first task is to indicate the direction of research, and the second task is to make money.
Providing research funds, paying salaries and benefits to subordinates...
Gretel found Elder Wood first. When asked about the remuneration for this project, Elder Wood was very straightforward:
"Two thousand five hundred contribution points. Half of it will be paid by debit and deposited into the Order's account in the Council, and the other half will be paid in kind. Mainly precious herbs, plant seeds, and precious consumables for casting spells."
Grete put his chin on his head and did some calculations. Don’t worry about the physical half. It’s very troublesome to exchange it for the magicians;
Even if he took half of the remaining 1,000 contribution points, looking at the dozen or so people he brought here, it wouldn't be much if they distributed it to each of them.
Moreover, if you want to get something like remuneration, you have to get it from the parliament. As a qualified project leader, you can only make the cake bigger by cooperating with other teams on research, but you can never steal other people's funds!
Gretel's mind was spinning and she asked with a smile:
"How long did the council give you? It was agreed upon within a certain amount of time that it would be completed. Did it say that no payment would be made if it was overdue? Did it say that there would be rewards for completing it in advance?"
"...The final report will be submitted in one month." Elder Wood sighed:
"We have been working on it for a week, going back and forth, but we still haven't found the direction. Fortunately, you are here to help. If we can't produce results, we can only get half of the reward. It would be too embarrassing to fall behind the schedule!"
"behind?"
"Yeah, you don't think that we are the only one in the region who is researching it, right?"
Gretel's eyes lit up. He grabbed Elder Wood and spoke a little faster:
"Which other regions are doing research? Are they all like here, half paid in advance? Who gave the task, or where is the review meeting?"
"It was given by the jury... I don't know if it's far away. There must be at least four or five busy sects nearby..."
Gretel got it. The key information, satisfied, turned around and walked back. My steps became brisker as I walked. The first few steps were still a brisk walk, but later on, it gradually turned into a trot:
"Mr. Norwood!" He raised his voice and shouted to the leader of the alchemist mage in his mage tower:
"Mr. Norwood! Please help me draft the paper. Well, you are responsible for the framework and experimental ideas. Regarding which elements to use and which testing methods are specified, let them fill in the groups in groups! Be quick!"
Write the framework if you want to write the framework, write the details if you want to write the details, and fill in the data if you want to fill in the data. At noon the next day, Gretel took the fresh draft of the paper, went straight to the review meeting, and took a photo in front of old Sam.
"If I can complete this research project of the parliament in one week, what remuneration will the parliament give me?"
Old Sam: "..."
How did you come?
No one asked you to come!
The Lord of Thunder also specially asked someone to say hello, saying that you have just advanced and are busy learning new magic recently, so that the council will not send you tasks!
Anyway, when I went to the royal capital before, I had already completed a council mission. I have completed all the missions for a year, so I won’t find you again!
Alas, fortunately, I will be resigning this year. After this year, this guy will cause other people a headache...
