Chapter 965: Kindness From the Trident Sword
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
“The exam time is over. Please stop answering questions, put the test papers in the middle of the table, and leave the exam room in an orderly manner... Please ask the supervisors to collect the papers in order of the test numbers...” On the podium, accompanied by the crisp sound of chimes, Professor Seleus loudly reminded the candidates to leave. Under the supervision of two supervisors, the test papers slowly rose from the table and slid quietly and steadily into the boxes in the arms of the supervisors.
Commissioner Mili stood at the door and watched the candidates leave in an orderly manner. There seemed to be an invisible barrier on the low threshold, separating the inside and the outside. The barrier only made a rustling sound when the paper rolls rubbed against each other, and only people's slight breathing; outside the barrier, the candidates who had just finished the exam were discussing the answers to the questions on the test paper that they were not sure of in a suppressed and intense voice.
"——Is coral glue an animal glue or a plant glue? I don't remember the explanation of this question in "Making Talisman Bullets", and can't the talisman glue be made of all-purpose glue made with magic? Why is this question asked!"
"——We have to consider the loss of magic power in the hunting team's war to open up the new world. In many cases, the cost of using prepared glue is much lower than that of all-purpose glue. Even if it is a trick... I mean, low-level wizards can provide good logistical support."
"——In theory, coral glue is processed and refined from the secretions of coral polyps. Coral polyps are animals, so coral glue should also be animal glue, and shellac is originally a kind of animal glue..."
"——Wait, why are you discussing coral glue? Is there any part of the test involving coral glue today? Isn't the only part involving adhesive talking about rosin and ** gum?"
"..."
"——Your question is as eye-catching as the candidate in the red robe."
"——Speaking of the wizard in the red robe, do you know who he is?"
"——Tsk, everyone reads the Beta Town Post, who can't recognize him? Isn't he the first Is he the youngest teaching assistant at a university, the rumored husband of goddess Su, a senator of the Moon Parliament? "
"——You used to call him 'the useless husband'..."
"——Ahem, even if you don't read the Beta Town Post, people who have been to Shanglinyuan Spring Hunting should be able to recognize him... He hit the little girl from the Tushan family hard on the stage at that time!"
"——Oh! No wonder... I saw that he had a good relationship with those examiners. They chatted with each other without any hesitation before the exam! They were really open about it... Should I report them! "
"—— —Report what? Do you have evidence? "
"——Speaking of which, I can understand that he is familiar with the school professors, after all, he is both a student and a teaching assistant...but how can he be so familiar with the people of the Trident Sword? "
"——I have heard of that Mili, and he is notoriously difficult to deal with in the Trident Sword. But when he was chatting with Zheng Qing before, the wrinkles on his face when he smiled could kill mosquitoes!" Mili, the wizard standing at the door, glanced at the backs of the few people who had walked to the end of the corridor calmly, raised his hand, touched his face, and wondered whether to go back to buy some mutton fat.
After retracting his sight, he also noticed that the red-robed man who was just being discussed was walking to the door. Zheng Qing's seat was relatively far back, so when he went out, the noise in front had become much quieter.
Even so, after crossing the threshold of the examination room, the sudden sound waves in the corridor still made him feel a little dizzy, and he subconsciously stopped and adjusted his breathing slightly.
Then he felt his arm being pulled. He turned around. It was the invigilator standing at the door. Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Sorry, please wait a moment." The high-level specialist of the trident nodded slightly to the boy, and continued to watch the other candidates leave with a serious expression, as if it was not him who had just spoken.
Zheng Qing didn't know what was going on, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he stayed. Soon, the candidates in the classroom dispersed completely, and the box of test papers was taken away by two supervisors after Professor Seleus and Commissioner Mili sealed it.
"Why haven't you left yet?" The professor noticed the young wizard standing beside him when he went out. Zheng Qing hadn't spoken yet.
Commissioner Mili, who followed closely behind, explained: "I have some official business to discuss with Zheng Qing... The previous exam has not ended yet, so it's not convenient." Professor Seleus paused with his eyes on the two of them, took out his peaked hat, put it on his head, and nodded slightly: "-Then I won't bother you... Remember not to be late for the practical exam in the afternoon." He nodded to Zheng Qing.
Turned around and disappeared without a trace. The corridor finally became empty. Commissioner Mili locked the door, took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "- Well, it's time for lunch, do you want to have lunch together?" It's always a good idea to get along well with your invigilator.
Although Zheng Qing was full of doubts, he still agreed obediently. As an invigilator, Mili can also eat in the school cafeteria, and it's free.
Zheng Qing followed him and listened to him talking for a while before gradually sorting out the clues. Wizard Mili seemed to have not given up the plan to recruit Zheng Qing to join the Trident - not only him, Wizard Mili seemed to want to recruit the two ratmen clerks of D&K through him.
“…I heard that you will graduate early after this semester. Would you like to consider joining Trident Sword? In the entire alliance, there are not many jobs like ours that provide good benefits, high salaries, and are not prone to too many dangers. You have experience working at the First University and have your own hunting team…After the members of your hunting team graduate, Trident Sword can also provide priority admission…And if you apply, I can ask Robert to guarantee you and directly give you the position of senior commissioner, and let you lead an independent investigation team!” Zheng Qing guessed that the Robert he was talking about should be the ‘noodle’ director of Trident Sword, Robert Nude, otherwise it would be unlikely that he would promise to hire a senior commissioner or even an independent investigation team.
"I'll think about it again," the young teaching assistant said vaguely, not refusing, but not agreeing either: "Now I just want to graduate safely, I don't have much energy for the time being... You know, the school has very high requirements for graduation, and I'm only in the second year..."
"I understand, I understand." Wizard Mili stirred the French onion soup in front of him with a spoon, paused, raised his head again, and looked a little worried: "Well, speaking of energy... Do you feel pressure to supply the trident?" Zheng Qing shook his head immediately.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I still have that little energy." Just kidding, a job that pays more than 700 jade coins a month, even if he doesn't graduate, he will never give up!
Wizard Mili seemed to be slightly relieved: "That's good, that's good... Last month, your talisman bullet was delivered a little late, and I missed several tasks... But your talisman bullet is really good, powerful, low in magic pollution, easy to use and carry... Except for the slightly higher price and slightly less quantity, there are no other disadvantages!"
"The price can't be cheaper!" Zheng Qing looked at the tall and thin wizard vigilantly, remembering Su Shijun's reminder after the Qingqiu Mansion reached an agreement: "We signed a contract... And it costs a lot for me to make this talisman bullet!" For example, I have to eat an extra bowl of rice.
He held the bowl and stuffed a big mouthful of mashed potatoes into his mouth.
