It was just noon. After lunch, Dean went back to the scattering training ground to continue his practice. 81 Δ Chinese Δ Net
In the afternoon, the young instructor came to see Dudian. He was surprised but didn't say anything. After watching Dudian's archery practice, he pointed out a few minor flaws in Dudian's posture and left.
In the evening, Dudian returned to the dormitory and began to review the law books that he had borrowed from the library.
The next day.
Dean got up on time. After breakfast, he found the young instructor and asked for leave.
"You're asking for leave again?" The young instructor frowned: "Although you are an official hunter but there is a time limit for the current skill training. You can't neglect it. Yesterday you were allowed to take a day off. It was an exception. What's the matter today?"
Dean knew that it would not work if he didn't explain the reason. He said: "Yesterday I went to the magistrate's recruitment and passed the preliminary exam. Today I will go to the official exam."
"Apprentice priest recruitment?" The young instructor was surprised. Every time there was a big event in the magistrate, it was a big event. He had naturally heard about yesterday's news, but he didn't expect that Dudian would ask for leave for this reason.
The young instructor looked at Dudian suspiciously: "Have you studied the law? To pass the Magistrate's Probationary Magistrate's examination doesn't just require a little knowledge of the law. You need to be proficient in it. Even many people who have graduated from law school find it difficult to meet the requirements. "
"I'll try." Dean wasn't too sure.
The young instructor thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I wish you success."
Dean was overjoyed and said: "Thank you instructor!"
"Go, go, come back early." The young instructor waved his hand.
Dudian turned and left. He went outside the headquarters to find a carriage and went straight to Pus Avenue.
Pus Avenue was located in the central block of the bustling West District of the commercial district. The price of every meter of land here was enough to buy a small building in a small town outside the suburbs of the commercial district. It was not an exaggeration to say that 'every inch of land was worth its weight in gold'.
The people living in the central area of the Western District were either rich or of high status. Elegant and high-end shops were everywhere. Noblewomen could be seen walking in and out of jewelry stores with their children and pets in their arms.
The carriage stopped in front of Pus Avenue's Magistrate. Unlike the neighboring streets, there weren't many people on the street. It was deserted. In the middle of the street, there was a towering building. It was about thirty meters tall, and it looked like a giant black beast. The top half of the building was shaped like a sharp gourd, and on the top of the sharp horn, there was a huge "cross" sign!
The cross, in the canon of the Light Church, represented purification!
Dudian saw magistrates wearing white robes along the way. They were holding law books in their hands. They were reading attentively while walking.
"I'm here to take the exam." Dean walked down the stairs to the solemn and gloomy magistrate. He took out the card and said to the magistrate guard.
The young magistrate guard glanced at the card indifferently and nodded: "Please come in."
Dean entered the magistrate. The lobby on the first floor was extremely spacious. Rays of light were projected from the dome. Dean looked up and saw that there were white crystal-like objects inlaid in the dome. He was surprised.
As he was looking around, a white silk-robed maid came over and gently said: "You're here to take the exam. Please come with me."
Under her lead, Dean came to the lobby. There was a cathedral-like hall with rows of seats. There was an independent podium in front of it. At the moment, there were more than a dozen figures sitting in the hall. All of them were boys and girls of his age. Most of them were dressed in gorgeous, bright colors, and the fabric was mainly silk. Only two or three of them were dressed in linen and woolen materials.
In front of the independent podium, there were several tables. At the moment, there was no one behind the tables. There were several white robed maids waiting respectfully.
Dean randomly found a remote seat. After a moment, he suddenly smelled Jenny's scent. His heart was happy. It didn't take long for him to see Jenny wearing a green silk dress.
Dean immediately stood up and waved to her.
Jenny was choosing a seat when she suddenly noticed Dean. Her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over and sat on the seat next to Dean.
"You're early." Jenny lowered her voice after sitting down.
Dudian laughed: "The early bird gets the worm."
"What about the early worm?" Jenny slyly asked.
Dean choked and laughed: "Eaten by the bird."
Jenny covered her mouth and giggled. She asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yes." Dean confidently said: "As long as I know how to take the exam, I'll get full marks."
Jenny giggled.
While the two were talking and laughing, the other candidates continued to come. At about nine o 'clock in the morning, the nearly five-meter-high door behind the examination room was slowly pushed and closed by two attendants.
At this time, a small door at the front of the examination room opened, and four figures wearing white robes with golden embroidery walked out. There were two men and two women, and the youngest among them was around 30 years old. Their expressions were cold and solemn, and they didn't like to smile.
"Silence!" One of the old men in his fifties said coldly.
The venue was silent.
"The exam time is one hour." The old man waved to the maid next to him. The latter handed an hourglass and put it on the table. The old man pressed his palm on the hourglass and looked around at the crowd: "I hope you remember what kind of quality a magistrate should have. If I see anyone trying to cheat, you will be punished according to the law. You will be detained for a month!"
Dozens of people in the audience looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.
Dudian winked at Jenny.
Jenny was nervous, but when she saw Dean's funny expression, she couldn't help but smile.
After a moment, the exam began.
The hourglass turned upside down, and the sand slowly passed.
Dean looked at the paper in his hand, holding the quill pen to answer. He had seen many of the questions, so he wrote the answers after thinking a little. However, there were still some questions that gave him a headache. He only felt that he had seen them vaguely, but he couldn't remember them clearly. After all, his knowledge of the law was completely from the scavenger special training. He squeezed out a little time every day to learn.
"If you are the proposed legal person, where do you think the law needs to be improved?"
Dean looked at the last question and slightly raised his eyebrows. This question tested the overall understanding of the law. If the content of the answer was the law that had been implemented or the law that had been abolished in the early days, it would naturally expose that his understanding of the law was not comprehensive enough.
Dean thought for a moment, but still decided to write: "If I am the proposed legal person, the first rule will be to abolish slavery and aristocracy. If you want to achieve equality in front of the law, you must achieve equality in the value of life. There is no distinction between high and low!"
"Time's up!" At this time, the old man in front of him shouted.
Dean immediately put down the pen.
Jenny who was next to him also quickly looked at him. Both of them exchanged glances and immediately understood that the other side had finished the paper.
After a moment, the papers were collected.
"Everyone, please go back and wait for the notice in three days." The old man said.
The door was pulled open, and the others left one after another.
Dean said to Jenny: "Shall I send you back?"
Jenny's face reddened: "My aunt sent me here today. She is waiting for me outside."
Dean smiled: "See you in three days."
"Okay."
The two said goodbye to each other at the gate. Dean looked at Jenny who was taken away by a lady in a white velvet coat. They sat in a spacious and exquisite aristocratic carriage. Dean retracted his eyes and entered his own carriage to leave.
After returning to the Hunter Headquarters, Dean saw that it was still early, so he went back to the scattering field to continue practicing.
The young instructor saw him and asked him about the exam. Finally, he told him not to be distracted and to focus on his duties as a hunter.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Dean said goodbye to the young instructor in advance. After breakfast, he left the Hunter Headquarters and drove to the magistrate.
There were dozens of other people waiting for the results on the same day. It was still early when Dean arrived. He didn't wait for long before he saw Jenny's carriage coming from the end of the street. After a moment, the door of the carriage opened. Jenny walked out of the carriage with the help of a knight of the Burong family. She looked up at the crowd for a moment and soon saw Dean's figure. Both of them smiled as they looked at each other.
"You are early." Jenny came forward and smiled.
Dean winked: "The early hunter gets the bird."
Jenny suddenly remembered the words of the last time and couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them chatted in low voices. A moment later, the door to the Magistrate Court opened and a serious-looking old man stepped forward. He read out the names one by one. Anyone whose name was read out represented that they had passed the exam and were now apprentice priests.
"Jenny Burong!" The old man read out.
Jenny was relieved when she heard her name. She patted her chest with a happy face.
"Dean!" The old man read out again.
Dean was also relieved. When he handed in the answer sheet, his heart was hanging, because he knew that he was not sure of the answers to several questions. He was purely relying on luck, but he didn't expect that he would still be qualified.
"Great!" Jenny clapped in surprise when she heard Dean's name.
Dean saw her happy appearance, and his heart was warm. He smiled: "We will work together in the future."
Jenny's face reddened: "Do you still want to be a scavenger?"
Dean was surprised. He couldn't help but think of the desolate and cruel scene outside the giant wall. Now that he had obtained the status of a trainee, as long as he wanted, he could completely leave the hunter establishment and live the life of a trainee. Or he could be an ordinary person, just like Peter and other senior members of the scavenger headquarters. Most of them were retired hunters.
He hesitated as he thought of this. No one liked to live a precarious life of killing. Even senior hunters were in danger of dying outside the giant wall.
Jenny suddenly realized that this was a choice that would determine his future. She hesitated for a moment: "If it's too dangerous outside the giant wall as my father said, then I think you should not go."
Dean looked up at her. There was a moment of impulse in his heart. He wanted to agree, but in the end he shook his head slightly: "I don't want to live inside the giant wall."
Jenny stared at him and suddenly smiled: "I knew that I didn't read the wrong person."
Dean saw that she wasn't angry. He was relieved and smiled: "I also didn't read the wrong person."
Soon after, the two of them received their status badges as trainees. When they received their badges, they also learned from the old man about their official reporting date and the basic rules for trainees.
The basic principles were the same as the purpose of the magistrate. There were three main things: fairness, justice and openness!
"I'll go back first." Jenny waved to Dean and got into the carriage.
Dean watched her leave. He also returned to his carriage and set off for the hunter's headquarters. The duties of a trainee were the same as that of an ordinary worker. They needed to work eight hours a day in the magistrate. If their performance was excellent, then they would be promoted to senior trainee. Then they wouldn't need to report to the magistrate every day. They only needed to accompany their superiors and assist them in dealing with the law cases in various areas.
"Eight hours. In this case, there isn't much time for hunter training."
Dean slightly frowned and murmured: "However, if I don't want to be promoted to a senior trainee or a senior trainee, then I don't need to report every day. In that case, I will always be a junior trainee and can only do odd jobs in the magistrate."
"However, I just want the identity of a trainee. In this way, there will be a layer of protection for my life inside the giant wall. Moreover, it will be convenient for future alchemy activities."
Thinking of this, Dean immediately decided to focus on the hunter. After all, the hunter's ability to earn gold coins was far from that of a trainee. It was high risk and high reward.
After returning to the hunter's headquarters, Dean went to the scattering training ground and continued to practice.
