The recruitment notice immediately drew a great many adventurers.
First of all, the job was highly credible. The Northwest Republic government had always enjoyed an excellent reputation. Those who worked with it might not necessarily make a fortune, but it was exceedingly rare for anyone to suffer losses. Even if there was no profit to be made, the Northwest Republic government would pay out of its own pocket to provide subsidies. In short, it would never let its partners come away empty-handed.
With that assurance, the adventurers were willing to believe in the Northwest Republic government's sincerity—if it had been another country, they might not have had such confidence. After all, in other nations, people being silenced because "you know too much" was something that happened every now and then.

Second, the pay for this job was excellent. If they could improve their strength, they could also secure a stable job in the Northwest Republic afterward, which was more or less like an honorable retirement. Even if they failed to improve their strength, spending half a year to a year in exchange for a large sum of money and a piece of magical equipment suited to themselves was no losing deal.
Lastly, and most importantly, this job would allow them to interact at close range with a senior legendary powerhouse for as long as half a year to a year. If they could earn that senior powerhouse's favor during that time, they might soar to the heavens in a single step. Besides, that "senior" might be quite old. Perhaps he was recruiting people to train this time because he intended to find someone to inherit his teachings. If
