The two continued to talk for a while, and the topic turned to the stories of the church, and after Bai Yi briefly repeated it, he carefully observed Joseph's reaction, but his appearance looked very calm, as if he was listening to a very ordinary story, not sad or happy, and his attitude towards Bai Yi was still neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no change.

Sure enough, every mage is proud... Bai Yi secretly sighed in his heart, and then said his true purpose for looking for him in a more sideways and more subtle way, hoping that he could come to his future academy to teach, for this reason, he offered a super high salary of 100 gold coins per month, although it was not as luxurious as Aya's 200 per month, but it was also twice the average monthly salary of a lecturer.

After all, the gap between the identities and status of these two people is too big, and the little female dragon is her own person, so there will definitely be some gaps.

When he heard Bai Yi's price, Joseph's face finally changed, and a look of surprise emerged, he really didn't expect Bai Yi to offer such a price! It wasn't that he hadn't encountered such a poaching before, but the highest offer he had ever received was only 50 gold coins a month, half less than Bai Yi's price. This salary, which was equivalent to his father's annual income, was so heartwarming that there was even a struggling expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.

It's a pity that in the end, his expression gradually calmed down, and he replied in an unwavering tone: "Thank you for your kindness, but please forgive me for refusing, that promise... It's something I have to abide by! ”

"Are you serious?" Bai Yibai was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this young man to refuse this level of temptation, and he added two more points to his heart, so he changed his direction and persuaded him: "My students are all cute, and each one is more beautiful than the other." ”

Joseph smiled calmly, shook his head, and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but my students are also very cute... With all due respect, Mr. Hope, it is easy and casual to find a better teacher than me, given your prestige and the price, so you don't have to persuade me. ”

Bai Yi was silent for a while, knowing that this kid uses that kind of do you know how valuable this salary is? Do you know how many people rushed to come to this kind of low-level talk, I'm afraid that I can't handle it, and it's definitely useless to pour chicken soup, so he didn't say that nonsense, and directly put on a chip that Joseph would never refuse:

"I'm here to allow you to work part-time."

Sure enough, Joseph fell silent all of a sudden.

"I believe that my terms should be very tempting for you, but I also respect your promise and persistence, and allow you to come to my academy after fulfilling your promise." Bai Yi looked at Joseph, who was once again caught in a fierce ideological struggle, and continued: "As for your academy... With all due respect, it seems to me that when a college can no longer admit students, it is the end of its mission, what do you say? ”

In fact, Bai Yi also inquired in the previous chat, the Ivy League college is basically nothing left except the name now, the land and teaching buildings were mortgaged out more than ten years ago, and now after the people take it back, Joseph was forced to set up the classroom in his own home, and there is no possibility of recruiting new students in such an academy.

So the reason why Joseph is still so stubborn in the face of the temptation of a high salary now, on the one hand, is commitment; On the other hand, it is because he is responsible for the last 30 or so students.

Bai Yi continued: "At present, my college is still in the preparatory stage, and you should know that the time and process of establishing an academy is very long, and it seems inappropriate to invite you to officially join the company before it is established. So now you just work part-time with me first, and when you bring this class of students to graduate, your mission and commitment will be completed, and my college will almost be officially completed, the best of both worlds, isn't it? ”

These words basically moved Joseph, and he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse. Although his academy is in Waterdeep, an important city in the southern part of the empire, far away from Afen City, after he obtains the legendary certification, he can use the Mage Association's teleportation array for free, so the distance is not a problem, as long as the time is reasonably planned.

In fact, it is very common for mages to work part-time in society, and many mages are teachers in this academy; There was a nobleman who worked as a consultant in his family; The association also participates in various projects with economic benefits; Maybe by the way, he also runs an alchemy workshop or something, and his ability to make money is quite amazing, after all, being a mage is not a teacher, and the cost of various equipment and materials is so big, how can he do it without working hard to make money?

A mage who can't make money is not a good mage, and an honest teacher like Joseph is a rare commodity, so it's no wonder that Bai Yi is so optimistic about him that he doesn't hesitate to offer a luxurious price.

In the end, Joseph nodded with emotion, shook Bai Yi's hand hard, and said with a slight cry: "Thank you, Mr. Hope, thank you very much..."

After all, it's a hot-blooded young man from a civilian background... I'm afraid it's hard to find such a useful employee in the future... Bai Yi thought silently in his heart.

After that, the two chatted casually for a while about academic things, and they needed to go home to take their children, and after exchanging mailing addresses with each other, Bai also mentioned that he would mail the course schedule over soon.

"By the time it's over Charismatic Day, you'll be almost ready to come to class, so it's best to schedule your time beforehand." Bai Yi finally said.

"Okay, I see, Dean." Joseph replied sensibly.

Pretty clever, huh? Bai Yi smiled in his heart and waved goodbye.

Joseph, on the other hand, stood in place, and after watching his figure disappear, he showed a relieved smile and said, "It is worthy of being called the Great Sage of Hope, it really brings me hope... Thank you so much, Mr. Hope..."

To be honest, it sounded infuriating, but fortunately, Bai didn't hear it.

When he got home, he saw Aya gathering the students in the courtyard and preaching something, and after a while he saw the students divided into two groups to form a confrontation, Mia and Mordred riding on the back of the big fox, and next to her stood Radithea, and on her shoulder stood an owl; On the other side is Desgar leading, followed by Artie, Nota, and Widnina with a sunflower in her arms.

And then... Both sides actually started... Tug of war?

Well, there is nothing wrong with the tug-of-war project itself, it is a basic subject to exercise teamwork, and it cultivates team spirit such as teamwork.

But Miss Aya, what's going on with your camp allocation? 210
