Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 7
Jenkins is already thinking about acting in the future.
The test result form was received by Binsey in a brown paper bag, but he did not immediately seal the mouth of the paper bag, but took out a large pile of data from it.
Very unexpectedly, the carrier used for those materials is white paper. Except that the color is not as white as modern printing paper, and the surface is also very slightly bumpy, this is only inferior to the writing paper of the 21st century.
"Very good, papermaking pass."
Jenkins said in his heart.
"We have just completed the test of your traits and abilities, and then we need to choose the right ‘job’ for you. But before that, I need to say a bit of common sense."
While talking, he stretched out his hand, and after a while, a strange red flower appeared from his hand. This is just a phantom, but the veins on the petals and leaves can be clearly seen.
"The trait ability of the gifter is an effective way to identify identity, but it is very troublesome to use tools to test it in detail like just now. Therefore, we have another method that also needs to try to activate our trait ability, but don't use it. When you can do this, the "spirit" pattern that represents you will appear in the palm of your hand. It is called the soul emblem."
"Is everyone different?" Jenkins asked, then stretched out his hand to pretend to try, but was stopped.
"Yes, it's like a citizen ID number, it's unique. Mr. Williams, you don't need to start learning here. It is very difficult to release spiritual patterns. After you go back, you can practice privately or ask you for advice. Guide. Now we have more important things."
Fortunately, the action is slow. If the pattern of the green ability is also activated according to the method last night, wouldn't it be exposed?
Jenkins had a cold war in his heart.
While talking, Bincy put all the stacked papers in his hand on the table one by one, facing Jenkins's direction.
"The number of gifters has always been lower than our demand. In fact, this year has already reached July, but you are the only newcomer to the church this year."
"Sir, do other churches do the same?"
"Almost. Of the five Orthodox churches in Nolan, the [Death and End] church has no newcomers this year, and there are two in [Storm Master]. The others are the same as us. But this year is less than average. In the past years Two fresh blood can be added in about a year."
"It seems that the number of extraordinary people in this world is less than I thought. Although Nolan City is not the most politically and economically developed city in the kingdom, because of its unique geographical location, it has the largest permanent population in the Kingdom of Fidcicle. . And the population of the Kingdom of Fidiktelli ranks second among the three kingdoms...No, the number of unregistered gifters should not be small, after all, civilians who believe in righteous gods account for only five of the urban population. Four out of four, there are also a large number of refugees, criminals, etc."
Jenkins analyzes the new information of this world in his heart, and Bincy continues to popularize common sense.
Section 15 Chapter Fourteen Dad Antique Shop
"Because it has to deal with strange supernatural phenomena, gifted criminals, treacherous situations, and occasional out-of-control treacherous things, the church bears a very important security responsibility in the kingdom, and there are some things that the police cannot control."
said, a document was pushed in front of Jenkins.
"This is the entry contract of a secret security company affiliated to the church."
"Security company?"
Such a modern word suddenly appeared in this fantasy-style dialogue, and Jenkins couldn't help repeating it.
"Yes, the times are different, Mr. William. The mercenaries and adventurers in the past need to re-adapt to find a new way out, and the security company is actually similar to the rough guys in the story. By the way, as a reminder, these institutions under the church are secret departments, and they will never show their connection with us in normal times, so what you see and hear is never allowed to be disclosed."
"Ok."
Jenkins nodded, and then suddenly realized that he knew too much.
"But sir, I'm just a newcomer who just entered the job. You showed me so many secret materials, is it really okay?"
"it does not matter."
Bincy waved his hand, "You have to sign a confidentiality agreement in a while, we are very relieved."
"Then I'm not at ease."
Jenkins thought of it silently.
"This security company's contract is just an example. For a rare healer like you, I don't recommend you to go to such a place."
Before Jenkins could finish reading the contract, it was taken back.
"Newcomers, unless the world gift abilities and soul trait abilities are both combat types, they will generally not be assigned to the combat department. The fresh blood of the combat department usually comes from the benefactors who are promoted to the first level and are combat professions."
"Very good, the class, ability, level, and one piece of equipment will become an online game. Wait, isn't the category C [gift] just equipment?"
Jenkins secretly said to himself, and then said:
"In fact, the combat department is really too dangerous for me, so sir, do you have any recommendations?"
"I appreciate your attitude."
Bincy smiled and nodded to Jenkins, and reached out to take out three copies from the numerous documents on the table. It seems that he already knows which ones are more suitable for Jenkins.
"I need to repeat it again, because Nolan City does not have [Nature Spirit] and [Earth Mother] churches, so there is no corresponding healing ability, so the healing ability of Natural Awakening is very precious. I listen to Palode The bishop said that you have a normal secondary education, which is good because it means more relaxed and indoor work."
The documents before them belong to three different industries, but probably because they all belong to the [Books and Knowledge] church, so the contract format is exactly the same.
The one on the left belongs to [Nolan Fifth Public Hospital], the one in the center is [Good Luck Pipe Company], and the one on the right is [Daddy Antique Shop].
Something strange seems to have appeared.
"The psychiatric department of Nolan Fifth Public Hospital has our base. The nature of [the trick] determines that the person who uses it or the people around it has a high probability of mental disorders. Therefore, it is very useful to set up a base in the psychiatric department to collect information. Necessary. But I hope you don’t choose this one. The Nolan Fifth Mental Hospital is being haunted recently. Yes sir, ghosts also exist. Don’t be so surprised. This matter is still unresolved, and the grave guard team already has it. Sacrifice. Although the psychiatric waiting room is far away from the children's department where the incident occurred, it is an eventful time..."
"I know."
Jenkins immediately reached out and pushed the contract back. In his previous life, he was a bit afraid of ghosts. Although he is no ordinary person now, his long-term habit cannot be changed so quickly. And at the party last night, someone had already reminded not to go there recently.
"Very well, when you should back down, you should back down. This is a necessary trait for a qualified gifter."
Binxi said, pointing to the second:
"Good Luck Steam Pipe Company, the second largest steam pipe company in downtown Nolan. We have a stronghold in the after-sales service department. Your job is to follow your predecessors to knock on the door and read the meter. The meaning of this job is that in a certain You can go smoothly on occasions that are not suitable for the direct dispatch of combat troops."
"I understand, it's a nature to send warmth to the open door community, read water meters, and Dongfeng Express."
Jenkins thought with his expression unchanged.
"Papa Antique Shop, Papa Oliver is recruiting apprentices. You should be able to think that his responsibility here is to collect the [tricky] [superior] and [gifts] that have fallen into the market and ordinary people. It's not just our church. The other four churches are in Nolan City, but everyone is hidden. But I want to remind you that there are really antiques sold there, so once you choose Papa Oliver, you must Follow him to learn about antique identification and store management."
Having said this, Bincy took the rest of the files back, knocked them on the desktop, stacked them neatly, and placed them on the left side of the space in front of Jenkins.
"Bishop Parrod asked me to recommend a few safe and easy jobs for you, so I selected these ones. If you are not satisfied, you can choose the rest, but I still don't agree with choosing the combat department."
The kindly smiling face of Bishop Parrod reappeared in Jenkins' mind. I didn't expect that the old man appeared before Pennsi specifically for this.
His heart is warm, even though Bishop Parrod’s kindness is aimed at the original owner, Jenkins still enjoys this feeling of being cared for.
"I choose the old antique shop."
He just thought for a moment, then pushed back the pipeline company contract. The job in the antique shop is very compatible with [True Eye]. Jenkins intends to make good use of his golden fingers, and the job of the plumbing company is to run around, and the apprentice in the antique shop is an indoor job. No matter how you compare, the latter is better.
More importantly, the name "Daddy Antique Shop" is very kind to Jenkins, so naturally there is a bias in his heart.
"Mr. William, are you sure? It's only four o'clock in the afternoon. We have plenty of time. You can take a look at the remaining options."
Captain Bincy seemed to be surprised by Jenkins' decisiveness.
"I think it's good. The work in the antique shop is easy, you can contribute to the church, and you can learn new knowledge and crafts during the work. These are all excellent."
Section 16 Chapter 15 Contract
Jenkins’ words made the opposite man smile immediately. He stretched out his hand and made a complicated set of gestures on his chest: "May the goddess bless! Very good, you have this enlightenment very well, you deserve to have followed your parents to church since childhood. Believers. I heard that you have gradually abandoned the way of knowledge in the past few years. It seems that this is the temporary ignorance of young people, Mr. William, you are very good!"
Jenkins smiled reservedly, and tried to tell himself to keep a low profile. Compared with the original owner, his performance today is indeed very different.
Bincy did not ask Jenkins to sign the contract immediately, but gave him a note and asked him to go directly to Daddy Oliver according to the above address tomorrow morning. Dad is also one of the few gifted people with the qualifications of guides in the church in Nolan, so Jenkins will not only learn to identify antiques with Dad in the future, he will also teach Jenkins extraordinary knowledge.
"give."
Captain Bincy put all the documents back into the file bag, sealed it with a seal that was very bright in the eyes of Jenkins, and then pushed him a stack of banknotes.
"This is the prepaid three-week salary. The job in the old antique shop is simpler, so the weekly salary is only 4 pounds. But the old man will also give you a salary as a reward for your help in his shop."
Jenkins nodded ignorantly, looking at the twelve stacked green banknotes in front of him. There are 10 pounds of currency in the kingdom's currency system, but they are usually only used for the settlement of bulk goods. Some poor people have never used 10 pounds of banknotes in their lives. Therefore, Bincy very intimately replaced Jenkins' salary with zero notes.
He carefully picked up the small pieces of paper, subconsciously wanting to count it, but suddenly thought it was rude.
Bincy was amused by his behavior, and shook his head and patted Jenkins on the shoulder, "You don't have to care about money matters so much. You have to know where the old man is, hehe, don't talk about it."
He took out another rolled parchment paper and motioned to Jenkins to sign it.
The golden light of this scroll of parchment almost pierced Jenkins's eyes, and he could only temporarily stop his ability. Jenkins didn't recognize the words on the parchment at all, and could only tell that they belonged to alphabetic words. Bincy didn't seem to want to explain, but just looked at him with a smile, and Jenkins nodded:
"I knew there would be such a thing."
He bit his head and wrote down the name of this body-Jenkins Redampout Williams.
led Jenkins back the same way. Bincy did not mention that someone on the outside of the room was watching Jenkins's performance, and Jenkins did not ask what the underground was for.
was silent all the way, when he was about to walk to the top of the spiral staircase, Pency suddenly turned around and said:
"By the way, forget about this. The treacherous situation you experienced needs to be recorded in accordance with the church's rules. Although [Night and Secret] has already heard the news from the church, after all, it is still the truth of my own person. Forget it today, this week you find time to come to church again, and Father Oliver will tell you who you should call."
"Good sir."
Jenkins was not very vigilant in his heart. Barnard knew about the candle he got. I wonder if the church would ask him to hand it in for "reasonable" reasons. Moreover, it is a bit too harsh to record all the things related to the deception. It seems that the people who attended the meeting last night were not willing to join the Orthodox Church because of their status as a believer of false gods. They also didn't want too many people to know their secrets.
Bincy did not get out of the small building, but turned in another direction. He told Jenkins to go back along the same road, but remember to go to Old Oliver tomorrow.
Jenkins held the stack of banknotes and greeted the overly enthusiastic janitor before he walked out of the small building. The young man at the door might think that someone could take the rotation, but Captain Pency never mentioned this to Jenkins.
Unexpectedly, Bishop Parrod was standing in the corridor not far from the small building, quietly watching the reddish sunset on the horizon. He was like an ordinary old man at the moment. Who would have thought that this was actually the most powerful person in the kingdom of Nolan Diocese?
"Bishop Parrod."
Jenkins stepped forward to say hello, but felt a little stiff after sitting for too long.
"How is it, are things going well?"
The old man asked with a smile, and at the same time invited Jenkins to sit beside him.
"It went well, I became a scribe, and finally I chose the old antique shop. By the way, thank you for this."
"Child, what are you talking about, I don't know."
The old man smiled and said, "This is great, Jenkins has finally grown up. I can feel that your performance today is very different from the past. It seems that what happened last night gave you some inspiration. Child, don't forget the goddess. Don’t give up the pursuit of knowledge. You may not have the talent that your brothers have, but they don’t have the talent you have."
The former talent refers to reading, the latter refers to the gifter.
The old man seems to be really good to Jenkins. He has devoted his entire life to the work of the church, and he is still unmarried at this age. Therefore, for those children who are watching to grow up, Bishop Parrod is particularly concerned.
"Sir, I didn't return home all night last night, at home..."
Jenkins thought about it for a while.
"Don't worry, I asked someone to send a message to your father last night. I met you on the street last night and invited you to stay in church for one night, hoping to persuade you to stop being as licentious as you used to be."
The second half of his sentence was a bit harsh, and Jenkins immediately stated his position.
"Good sir, the experience that I almost died last night made me realize the preciousness of life, and I will work hard to make life more valuable!"
He paused, and felt that he couldn't change too fast, he had to do it step by step.
"I hope I can get rid of those habits through work, but I have some hobbies, isn't it..."
He smiled and rubbed his hands.
The old man did not show disappointment. Instead, he felt that this was normal. Young people still have a lot of time. They can do it step by step. This is a good start.
"Forget it, then go home, your father will be very happy knowing that you have a stable job."
"Goodbye then, sir."
Jenkins got up to leave, but the old man suddenly took his hand and gave him a silver brooch. This brooch is decorated with a finely expanded small book outlined with silver threads. On the cover of the book, you can even see a series of ant-sized swashes with words:
Knowledge leads us forward.
PS: The new book asks for support and recommendation.
Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Lucky Family
"This is a gift. Congratulations on finding your first job in life. Although I don't have your kind of talent, I also know that you are the strongest and most reliable backing for the church. Jenkins, congratulations."
Looking at the smiling old man, Jenkins had the urge to cry for a moment. He hadn't realized such care for a long time.
He made up his mind to visit the old people at the church when he was free, and then put the brooch on his chest cherished.
The old man sent Jenkins to the door of the church, and acquaintances of the original owner kept saying hello along the way. The bishop announced that Jenkins had finally found a decent job under his persuasion. The Williams family has a close relationship with the church and belongs to the most pious family, so many church members know about Jenkins.
said goodbye to the old man and walked down the street. It was already evening. The red fire-like clouds on the horizon were brilliant, and the citizens who had finished work or got off work ended their day exhaustedly.
