The Glorious Summoner

166 The selection

In the morning, Xia Pingan left Donggang. By the time the carriage sent him to the camp of the adjudicator Army, the sky had already turned completely dark.

The coachman and the horse pulling the carriage were exhausted after running for a day.

During the day, the coachman even let the horses rest twice in the horse Shop where the carriages rested, and fed them water and fodder.

The horse that was pulling the carriage was drenched and had its head lowered. It was already weak. The coachman was also shivering in the cold wind of the night. He opened the door for Xia Pingan, smiled, and said carefully, ” Sir, the main camp of the adjudicator Army is just ahead. You will reach it after walking for a while along this road. Please forgive me. That place is heavily guarded. I really don’t dare to go there. I will have to trouble you to walk there!

“Alright, thank you for your hard work!”

I’m also looking for 35 Silver coins from you, Sir, ” the coachman asked tentatively. After all, Xia Pingan had given him too much money. Even if Xia Pingan hired him for a day, it would not cost him a gold coin. This money was more than enough to hire him for four to five days.

keep the change. I’ll reward you with more money, ” Xia Pingan said.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. the coachman let out a sigh of relief and showed a smile on his face. He then turned the car around and drove back.

There were still clouds in the sky, and there was almost no Starlight to be seen. Behind the thick clouds, the shadows of two moons could be seen.

The gas lamps on the road were already lit up, illuminating the puddles of water on the ground.

There weren’t many pedestrians and carriages around, and everyone was in a hurry, as if they didn’t dare to stay here any longer.

The main camp of the adjudicator Army was next to a mountain to the North of Shangjing. This mountain was called ping mountain.

Ping mountain lurked in the darkness like a giant beast, filled with an intimidating aura.

Xia Pingan didn’t go to the main camp of the adjudicator Union. It was late at night, and the main camp of the adjudicator Union wouldn’t be waiting for him. As a human, he should rest, not to mention it was so late.

Xia Pingan walked on the streets for a while, found a hotel, and asked for a room to stay for the night. He only headed to the main camp of the adjudicator Army the next morning.

The next day, the weather was a little better, and there was no more drizzling.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Xia Pingan checked out and threw his luggage into his spatial warehouse. Xia Pingan was in high spirits. He wore a long black robe and headed to the main camp of the adjudicator Army.

At the gate of the judgement Army’s military camp, there was a huge granite gate that was more than 100 meters long. It stood in front of them like a city gate. The gate in the middle of the gate was wide open, and two rows of great Shang sentries wearing dark red military uniforms and carrying loaded guns stood at the gate, not looking sideways.

Xia Pingan did not arrive early. By the time he arrived, there were already more than 200 people waiting for him.

All the people waiting here were between the ages of 20 and 30. They all had sharp eyes and calm auras. There were men and women. Xia Pingan could tell that these people were all Summoners below the Yi Yang realm.

There was a sign hanging on the side door next to the main entrance, which read ” recruitment for the adjudicator Army “. Everyone waited there, and Xia Pingan was also behind the crowd, waiting patiently.

Every now and then, a new Summoner would arrive.

After an hour, there were more than 300 Summoners gathered here.

“Brother, are you also here to join the ruling Army?” Just as Xia Pingan was waiting, a new person came to Xia Pingan’s side and spoke to him.

Most of the time, the acquaintance between strangers started with nonsense.

Xia Pingan glanced at the person who was talking to her. The person was in his twenties and had a refined appearance. His nose and eyes were all the same, and he was dressed in an inconspicuous manner. He looked a little approachable, but of course, this was only on the surface.

“That’s right, I’m here to join the judgement Army. Are you here too, brother?” Xia Pingan also followed up with some nonsense.

“That’s right, my name is Qu You Qian, how should I address brother?”

I’m Xia Pingan!

“Brother, are you from the great Shang?”

“No, I’ve been wandering around the world. I was in the southern domain before. What about you, brother?”

hahaha, I’m the same as you, brother. I’m also a rogue Summoner! Qu youqian sighed and looked at the tall military tower with hope in his eyes. it’s not easy to be a loathsome Summoner. It may seem free, but it’s really hard to find precious resources. Brother, you’re a Summoner too, so I’m sure you know that. I’m about to break through to the single sun realm. Once I break through, I’ll need to be baptized in the single sun divine spring. It’s not easy to get it outside. If I can join the adjudicator Army, I’ll have to do it. After reaching the one sun realm, the judgement Army will provide the one sun realm divine spring for free. Many people have come here with the same purpose as me. ”

yes, that’s what I think too. After joining the adjudicating Army, I’ve heard that as long as you perform well in the Army, you’ll be able to get cultivation resources such as realm pearls, magic weapons, and divine Springs! Xia Pingan and qu youqian were chatting casually.

of course. It’s just that it’s not easy to join the judgement Army. I heard that the selection is very strict. It’ll be good if seven or eight of us can get in today. By the way, it looks like you’ve just arrived in Shangjing. Brother, have you thought about what the consequences will be if you don’t get in? ” Qu youqian was very enthusiastic and started chatting with Xia Pingan.

“I haven’t thought about that yet. I think if I don’t get selected, I’ll find a business in Shangjing first and settle down!”

Summoners were also humans. Humans needed to eat, drink, live, and travel. They also needed cultivation resources. These things all required money, especially in Shangjing. Unless the family had a deep foundation, Summoners also had to do work in order to have a place in Shangjing.

haha, not bad, not bad. It’s just as I thought. Actually, it’s not difficult for wandering Summoners like us to find a job in Shangjing city of the great Shang kingdom. I have a friend who joined the adjudicator Army but failed. He went to be a guard of a rich family and the treatment is not bad. I have another friend who became a bounty hunter and settled down here. Later, he even got his hands on a divine spring and has cultivated to the double sun realm.

“If I don’t get chosen, I’ll try the job of a bounty hunter too!”

“If you want to go, I can introduce my friend to you!”

“Many thanks, many thanks!”

you’re welcome, you’re welcome. We should help each other out when we’re out!

As they were chatting, two people came out of the side door. One of them was in his 20s with an arrogant look while the other one was in his 30s with a much calmer look.

Both of them were wearing the uniform of the adjudicator Army, a dark red armor, a double-breasted black robe, a dark red brass belt about the width of a palm, and a pair of black high-heeled leather boots. The legs of the pants were tucked into the leather shoes, looking cool and stylish.

On the shoulders of their long robes, there were red epaulets of the judgement Army, on which there was the symbol of the thorny divine throne of the dark God of War. The epaulet of the 20-year-old man had one star, while the epaulet of the other man had two stars.

“The one-star Summoner is a one-sun Summoner, and the two-star Summoner is a two-sun Summoner. If they’re a four-sun Summoner, their epaulets will be gold in color, and there will be Silver Fire patterns on their epaulets. In the ruling Army, strength is the rank. I wonder what their titles are.”

Qu youqian licked his lips and said to Xia Pingan in an envious tone, ” if I could wear the uniform of the judgement Army, I would be so cool. I would be able to do whatever I want in the entire divine Kingdom of the dark church of war.

Xia Pingan smiled.

The adjudicators were the violent machines of the dark church of war, so they usually had three titles. It was a little complicated. Military ranks represented strength, and titles represented specific duties. This was easy to understand. For example, second lieutenant platoon leader. Second lieutenant was a military rank, and platoon leader was a title. In addition, the adjudicators had a religious title, which represented the person’s status in the dark church of war.

The most common status in the religion was the member, followed by the priest, then the priest, priest, Bishop, and so on.

In the God Kingdom of the dark God of War religion, including the God kingdoms of other God religions, the higher the rank, the more powerful the religion was.

As the two people walked out of the side door, the scene became quiet in an instant as everyone fixed their eyes on them.

“If you want to join the judgement Army, the first rule you have to follow is to shut your mouth. I don’t care what you used to do, what your status is, or what your experience is. From now on, anyone who wants to speak or express their opinions must raise their hands. Unless you have permission, you are not allowed to speak. Do you understand?” The young man at his 20s said to all the others with an arrogant look.

Everyone nodded, but no one spoke.

Seeing everyone nod, the young man continued, ” people will die in the selection of the adjudicator Army. If you’re afraid of death, don’t come in and waste everyone’s time. If you’re not afraid of death, you can come over and collect a number plate to participate in the selection!

The people in front started to line up to get their number plates. Those who got their number plates took them and stood aside.

The 30-odd man with two stars on his epaulet didn’t speak. With his hands behind his back, he just watched those people queuing up for their number plates with an indifferent look. After over 40 people in front of him received their number plates, the 30-odd man finally stretched out his hand and caught a person in front of him by the collar. In the blink of an eye, that person was thrown away over 30 m before falling heavily onto the ground, causing him to vomit blood.

four years ago, you participated in the selection of the adjudicator Army and failed. Today, you grew a beard and changed your hairstyle, and you want to fool around? the selection of the adjudicator Army is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you dare to fool around again, you’ll be executed without mercy. Get lost! The man in his 30s scolded.

The man who was thrown out by him didn’t dare to make a sound. He got up from the ground and left dejectedly.
