Chapter 2 Expected to take office

  Zhou Ge didn't understand everything, so his mother Tang Ji gave a detailed explanation of what happened.

  The woman's name was Wan AI, and like her, she was also a witch in He gu Island. They had made a promise with each other when they were children.

  When they grew up, they chose different paths.

  Tang Ji aspired to the outside of the island and met Zhou Ge's father Zhou Bo. They fled He gu Island.

  Wan AI followed the island's rules and gave birth to a daughter with a man. He gu Island was slightly different from other places. Men did physical labor and women performed witchcraft and rituals, so women had higher status.

  She came this time to fulfill the promise they made when they were children. She wanted to take Zhou Ge back first, then go to the Xin jie mountains to pick up her daughter, and then return to He gu Island for the wedding.

  When she saw her Clan sister, she was very happy, but when they talked about their children's marriage, they had a huge disagreement.

  Tang Ji was not satisfied with the island's rule of borrowing men for descendants, so she didn't want her son to return to the island.

  After listening to this, Zhou Ge didn't know what to do.

  "Mother, what should I do in the future? Aunt Wan said, don't think about regretting it. ”

  "We'll see about that. By the way, tell me about today's training. What happened?"

  Zhou Ge didn't dare to keep anything from him. He recounted everything in detail.

  Tang Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, children. There will be a seat for you in Binri City. Go eat quickly, it's getting cold."

  "I thought there was no food..."

  "I didn't bear give it to her; both sweet pear and jujube cakes were eaten, and there are two bottles of red pear wine left. Don't forget to finish them. Next year you can grow a head, and then go back to your room to practice. How many days have you kicked the wooden stake? Don't forget."

  These are words he has heard countless times. He promise in a soft voice and then went to the kitchen.

  As Tang Ji had predicted, on the morning of the 10th day of the 10th month, a special guest came to the door of the Zhou household.

  Tang Ji went out to greet him and recognized him as Captain Zeng Gang, the leader of the second detention team in Binri City. In the past, when Lu Ping was alive, there was no chance for this man to rise up, but after Lu Ping left, he was promoted and became more responsible. Fortunately, he was more committed to his duties.

  Now that a new detention team has been trained, Her afraid they will surpass this person again.

  Zhou mother saw him, happy in the heart, his arrival that son is expected to take office

  She saluted very respectfully and said, "Captain Zeng, What business do you have?"

  Zeng Qu took out a document, two pieces of clothing, a sword, and a quiver, and said, "I am ordered by the city lord to deliver the appointment document. Congratulations."

  "Really? You came a long way to deliver the good news. I didn't prepare any gifts. How about this? I have two silver coins. Have a cup of pear juice wine."

  "You're welcome, thank you."

  After a simple handover, they returned to the courtyard, Her son was kicking the wooden stake.

  She called her son over and took out the document.

  "Child, what did your mother say? Quickly read it."

  Zhou Ge was confused. He thought his mother was incredible. She had predicted a place for him in Binri City, and now it had come true.

  He opened the document and read: "Today, the lord of Binri City, Zhao Jing, hereby appoints Zhou Ge as the city's Inquisitor. On October 13th, 507th year of the Xiyue Dynasty, at 12:45 PM, he is required to the trial hall to take office, and the former Inquisitor Zhang Xichuan completed the handover of work. The term of appointment is six years. We hope that you will protect the city with your best efforts."

  Zhou Ge read the document seven and a half times. The words and the governor's seal were clear. He felt slightly disappointed after finishing it.

  "Mom... I didn't get to be a Inquisitor."

  Tang Ji was very happy: "What's wrong with being a Inquisitor? The monthly salary is even higher than that of a witchcraft policeman by 30 copper coins. It's not a loss."

  "But..."

  "But what? Change into the clothes."

  "Yes, mom."

  Zhou Ge wanted to say that he had prepared for six years to become a witchcraft policeman, but in the end, he was kicked out of the lineup. What the heck is going on?

  He didn't dare to say anything in front of his mother, so he just took the clothes and silently went back to his room.

  The clothes were similar to those of a detention officer: short-sleeved blue shirts with fish-scale patterns on the shorts. In addition, they also came with python belt and short sleeves with an eagle pattern on the back.

  The weapon is a dagger in the shape of a fox's ears. The dagger was made of refined iron and the scabbard and handle were polished to a shine.

  The quiver contained 20 Four-edged throwing weapons, also made of refined iron.

  The only difference was that each shirt had the word "断" printed on it, making it easy to distinguish his identity.

  He tried it on. It fit perfectly.

  He put on the clothes, with the pointed dagger, and walked out of the room.

  Outside, his mother was dealing with neighbors who had somehow found out about the good news. Among them were several people from their own clan who had settled in Binri City from Yin sha Island.

  Although they were both part of the Wen Li ethnic group, there was no special affection between them; they were just ordinary neighbors. Zhou Ge had been born and raised in Binri City, so he didn't really have any connections with them beyond the usual greetings when they passed each other on the street.

  The neighbors were very enthusiastic. Some brought pastries, others came to greet them, some came to congratulate them, and some even came to flatter them. Everyone had something nice to say: "I always knew your son would have a bright future," "Mrs. Zhou has done an excellent job raising her son," etc. The phrase "I haven't seen her yet..." was repeated several times.

  Is everything new to kids, and they come over to poke and prod at things.A little younger than Zhou Ge cast envious eyes

  After enduring nearly two hour, the crowd gradually disperses.

  Tang Ji seems even happier: "See that? You're making progress. It would be great if Wan's daughter married into our family. She's throwing away a good life and insisting on going back to the island. I don't know what she's thinking, she's so stubborn."

  Zhou Ge frowned: "I haven't even met her yet..."

  "Your mother hasn't met her either. What does she look like?"

  "Huh? Want to get married? Come over, let me teach you the most important rule again."

  "You've said so many..."

  "The most important one."

  "As a wizaed,I should know the advantages and disadvantages of it, and consider the consequences...No.Um... As a wizaed, should convey the messages of the gods, and have kindness and goodness in your heart, remove the harm of water and fire, and relieve the pain of those in distress."

  "Right."

  "But mother, Xiyue prohibits witchcraft; besides, this is too far away from me, it doesn't mean anything to me..."

  "Just remember it, don't worry about other things, we'll deal with it when we encounter it in the future. Liang Ran can't see through it, neither can others. As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows?"

  Three days later, in the trial hall inside the city, Zhou Ge made a work handover with Inquisitor Zhang.

  When he was familiar with the business, Senior Brother Shenghuan led the team to come uninvited, followed by Liang Ran mirror master.

  They got close for a while, and then found a place for a small gathering.

  During the meal, everyone learned that Teacher Liang Ran would return to the royal city,everyone was reluctant to let him go.

  To this year, Liang Ran teacher has 69 years old, so old age also to the city of Binri teaching, no one does not admire him

  Shenghuan suggested a toast to bid farewell, so everyone raised their glasses together.

  Almost at the end, Liang Ran called Zhou Ge aside.

  To be honest, his most favorite disciple was Zhou Ge. The child's skills in martial arts and hidden Weapons are average, but had the highest talent in Binding Spirit Stanchion Rune Magic . He was exactly the talent that the royal needed.

  He was getting old, and felt that he wouldn't be able to stay for long. He wanted to entrust a matter before he retired.

  "What did you call me for, Teacher?"

  The teacher took out a small package from his bosom: "Here are two things. One is my jade pen holder, and I don't know what the other is. In six months, the royal will hold the biannual Spell Solving Competition. I heard very few people from Binri goes to it, and I hope you can go this time. At that time, you will find someone named Shi You. Give him the jade pen holder, and he will know what to do."

  "Shi You?"

  "Yes, he is my disciple. I am old and cannot do many things. Go find him, and he will tell you."

  Zhou Ge flipped through the small package, which contained a very exquisite pen holder and a silk scarf embroidered with a five-clawed gecko pattern.

  "What is this?"

  Liang Ran mirror master smiled slightly: "General Shi You will tell you."

  "Oh... okay, I remember."
