Chapter 1221: Revelation Test (IV.)

The 198 new priests who passed the Revelation Test also received emblems, vestments, and a revised copy of the Sindra Canon presided over by Roland, and the following week they will follow their predecessors to the church for an internship and have the opportunity to administer the sacraments themselves.

At the end of their short internships, the young pastors will go to the village commune with the selected sheriff to begin a five-year residency in the village.

Although there was no need to conduct any miracle tests to select the sheriff stationed in the village, it was not an easy task to select 200 out of the more than 800 lieutenants who had signed up. According to the tradition of the army, if there is an indecisive fight, it is indispensable to hold a selection competition for this purpose.

The military is responsible for selecting the village magistrate General Alexei. Roland had accepted his invitation and promised to attend the closing ceremony of the tryouts this afternoon, and seeing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye to Boris and the new priests, and rode to the barracks outside the city in a carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of the city gates. The driver shows his ID to the guards. The guards glanced at the Cabinet official car logo on the canopy and hurriedly raised their hands to let them go.

During a brief pause through the gate, Roland stumbled upon a small, familiar figure running through his car window, taking a closer look at his back, none other than the new Pastor Sindra, Mr. Peter. The boy wore a wide white robe and carried a backpack containing holy scriptures, and he ran on the side of the road without any scruples, and the emblem attached to the silver chain was thrown from his chest to the back of his neck, and the satchel also floated up and down with the pace of the madness, and slapped his buttocks, which was really a bit ridiculous.

Roland whispered to the coachman to catch up with Peter, pulled the window and whistled at him.

Peter turned his head to meet him for a moment, then grinned, raised his right hand and drew a circle on his chest as he ran, greeting His Royal Highness the Prince in the manner of a priest.

Roland opened the car door and beckoned to him: "Come up." ”

"No need...... Your Highness, I don't run much slower than a carriage! Peter said breathlessly.

"Less nonsense, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the barracks, Your Highness, where are you going?" Peter was very inquired.

"I'll also go to the barracks, hurry up, and give you a ride along the way." Roland stretched his long arm lightly, grabbed Peter by the collar, and lifted him into the carriage like a chicken.

"Wow! The car is so spacious and the cushions are soft and comfortable! Peter sat opposite Roland and looked around, "This is my first time riding in a carriage, and it is still a ride for His Royal Highness the Prince, and no one will believe it!" ”

Roland smiled, "You kid talks a lot. ”

Peter smiled a little embarrassedly, but he couldn't help but speak after not being quiet for a minute: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't sit idle with this mouth, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't say something." ”

"Let's talk about it, then."

"Hehe, you are so nice, unlike Mr. Boris, when I went to talk to him, he always had a bored look on his face, and said that chatting wasted his time." Peter said smugly.

Roland couldn't help laughing: "I heard Boris say, if you have something to do, you run to his office and talk nonsense, and you will be mad about him." ”

Peter stuck out his tongue and whispered to himself: "Actually, I don't mean to bother the teacher, every time I have a problem with learning, I go to him for advice, and by the way, I accompany him to chat with the old man to relieve his boredom, otherwise he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law at his age, and he doesn't have a child around to accompany him, so how boring it is to be busy with work all day." ”

Roland stroked the little priest's messy hair and smiled: "Mr. Boris is a man who loves his work more than anything else, you may not agree with his overly serious personality, but you should learn from his unparalleled concentration and enthusiasm for work, which will be very helpful for your growth." ”

Peter had a rare smile on his face, and nodded seriously: "You are right, Mr. Boris is the most conscientious person I have ever met in my life, and I am quite reluctant to think that after the training is over, I will rarely have the opportunity to see his old man again...... I don't know if he remembers me when we meet again. ”

"Although Mr. Boris doesn't say it, I'm sure he will remember you and miss you." Roland patted the little priest on the head, "Working in the country is not isolated, you can go back to Krasbourg for a vacation during the Chinese New Year, and if you remember to visit Mr. Boris, he must be very moved." ”

Peter nodded vigorously, his dirty little face was extremely serious, and he had a bit of Boris's demeanor: "Your Highness, I must visit the teacher often!" ”

Roland smiled happily and then asked him, "What are you doing in the barracks?" ”

"I'm going to visit Big Brother Nikolai, he's my neighbor, a chasseur lieutenant, and today I'm going to participate in the competition for the selection of the sheriff stationed in the village, and I want to go to the barracks to cheer him on." Peter replied.

"The barracks are forbidden places, and the selection competition is not open to the public as far as I know, how are you going to sneak in?" Roland asked with interest.

Peter smiled smugly, "My senior sister Daya's boyfriend is a big man in the army, and he has a way to take me into the barracks to watch the game. ”

"Oh? Tell me about the name of the big man, maybe I'll be lucky enough to know him. ”

"His name is Ivan Ivanovich, and I heard my senior sister say that he was a grenadier major!"

Roland couldn't help laughing, touched his chin and sighed: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, Ivan, this kid has become a big man, and suddenly I feel that I am old." ”

The carriage slowly stood firm at the gate of the barracks, and as soon as Roland got out of the car, he saw General Alexei standing outside the door with his hands in his hands, and there were three young men and women beside him, Roland recognized Ivan and his girlfriend Daya, and a young man with a delicate appearance and elegant temperament was a little eye-catching.

"Brother Vladimir!" Peter jumped out of the carriage and ran to the urbane young man with joy, "I passed the test!" ”

"Peter, that's good, we're proud of you!" Vladimir's eyes had regained their sight after receiving the "regeneration" treatment, and a smile of relief appeared on his face when he saw Peter wearing a sacrificial robe and a holy emblem on his chest, and he could guess that he had passed the apocalyptic test without saying it.

General Alexei greeted Roland and saluted: "Your Highness, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Capital Corps, I welcome you to come and inspect!" ”

Roland returned the military salute and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, I'm just passing by to take a look, how is the selection going?" ”

"There are more people who have signed up than expected, after all, it is now peacetime, and it is difficult for junior officers to get ahead in the army, and going to the countryside to train for a few years is very beneficial to their promotion." General Alexei is a real person, and he doesn't sing any high-profile songs with Roland, and frankly says that the reason why the position of village sheriff is particularly popular is because according to the government's policy, active duty officers with village qualifications can get extra points when they are promoted to military ranks.

Roland chatted with General Alexei for a few words, turned around and nodded and smiled at Ivan: "Good afternoon, big man." ”
