First Ring History
In Wizard Zalan Bailey's private office, he was discussing the purchase of a large number of production-type brass golems with an agent wizard from Joseph's Golem Shop Alliance when Wizard Tucker suddenly burst into his office.
Wizard Zalan Bailey frowned in displeasure. He had been speaking with a Second-Ring agent wizard from Joseph's Shop Alliance, but Wizard Tucker's casual intrusion had interrupted their conversation.
He had clearly told the wizards of Group 2 not to enter his office during this time.

"He also published an article in a top First Ring Archaeology journal of the Starfield Sea."

An awkward expression appeared on Wizard Zalan Bailey's face.
He glanced at the wizard agent and said, "Mr. Jacob Zion, I'm sorry, but today may not be suitable for any business
