Ethan led the group through the main hall and into a larger hall beyond.
The hall was sowhat empty, with only a few God Clan guards standing along the walls.
Brody, the person in charge of the trial, stood at the center of the Great Hall.
Seven large magic arrays slowly circulated across the surrounding floor.
"After passing the assessnt, I gained the formal qualification to join the guard team. Next, we will begin a six-month internship. All the vacant positions have been arranged, and since we are the first group to complete the trial, we get the first choice," Ethan explained.
Although everyone already knew the trial process by heart, Ethan repeated it once more: "Generally, once an internship mission is selected, it cannot be changed. After completing the internship, the respective God Court will give an evaluation. As long as the score is sufficient, you can choose to stay or officially join the guard team."
Brody nodded. "Yes, that is correct. This term, the God Courts offer a total of seven trial positions. Once selected, that is final."
"Thank you."
Before passing the trial and entering the temple, the younger generation did not know which internship positions were available and had to choose on the spot.
Ethan said, "No need to rush. We still have ti. We can look around first and discuss."
Around Brody, the seven magic arrays corresponded to the teleportation entrances for the seven internship areas.
Each magic array had a description specifying the work involved in the internship.
The basic internship tasks mostly involved carrying out the guard duties of the respective God Court.
Fang Heng looked at each in turn until he stopped in front of the third teleportation array. He stared at the description in front of the teleportation passage and muttered under his breath.
"Tribunal of Sin..."
It was a branch God Court under the Faith Court, responsible for holding sinners in the divine realm.
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
No way... what a coincidence.
Could the Nether Emperor possibly be imprisoned in the Tribunal of Sin?
He considered it carefully.
Such a good opportunity—should he go take a look at the Tribunal of Sin to see if he could find any trace of the Nether Emperor?
"Are you interested in this one?"
Kaia noticed Fang Heng staring at the Tribunal of Sin's description and whispered, "The internship in the Tribunal of Sin is relatively easy and low-risk, but it isn't easy to get a high evaluation score after the trial."
Matthias also ca over. "I've looked at all the internships. Except for tasks in the spiritual world, which might involve so risk, the rest are not truly dangerous."
Kaia pouted. "Why are you suddenly defending him?"
"Not exactly. Since our goal is to get a high evaluation, I think the Tribunal of Sin might not be the optimal choice."
Matthias looked at Fang Heng. "What do you think, Zane?"
"You are right, but I want to enter the Tribunal of Sin," Fang Heng said calmly. "Of course, I am just suggesting. I will follow the team's decision."
Matthias frowned. "I want to know your reason for choosing the Tribunal of Sin."
Fang Heng pointed to a line in the description. "It says here the Tribunal of Sin has a special advancent trial where you can fight certain prisoners. Real combat will allow to learn more and grow faster."
Matthias looked at him in surprise.
This quiet kid, it turns out, is a battle fanatic just like Gu Er.
"Hahaha! Well said! Makes sense!"
Gu Er, who had been standing nearby, perked up at Fang Heng's words. He ca closer to examine the Tribunal of Sin's description with Fang Heng.
"Not bad, not bad. The Tribunal of Sin really suits us."
Matthias could only laugh and shake his head.
Great, these two battle maniacs were now together.
Ethan approached after hearing the discussion. "So, everyone has made up their minds?"
Gu Er chuckled. "Hehe, boss, we want to try the Tribunal of Sin."
The rest of the group agreed that the Tribunal of Sin was a feasible choice.
"And the rest?"
Matthias said, "I think the optimal solution is to serve as the Faith God Court's direct guards. That allows us to get closer to the higher-ups and make a good impression for future promotions. Of course, the Tribunal of Sin is also fine. Joining it will improve the team's overall strength. We do need real combat experience."
Ethan thought for a mont. Recalling previous failures in the trial, he felt the team's strength needed further improvent.
"Alright, then we'll select the Tribunal of Sin."
The choice was not a big problem.
As mbers of the God Clan royal lineage, as long as they were not completely incompetent, any God Court would give them so respect.
Compared to making a good impression, increasing the team's overall combat strength was more important.
"Are you all sure?" Brody nodded. "If you confirm the Tribunal of Sin as your internship, you can enter the teleportation passage. The person in charge will guide you and explain the tasks."
"Thank you."
The group made their decision, and Ethan led them into the teleportation passage.
...
Tribunal of Sin.
They erged from the teleportation passage into the Tribunal of Sin.
Fang Heng quickly scanned the surrounding environnt.
The hall was dark, with no windows. The air carried a murky stench.
It seed the Tribunal of Sin was located in an underground area.
A God Clan mber rose from a stone chair in the front and glanced at Ethan and the group.
"Welco to the Tribunal of Sin. The warden is away. I am Quinn, currently responsible for assigning your tasks."
The group bowed in unison. "Greetings, Officer Quinn."
Quinn looked at Ethan and nodded. "You must be Ethan, right? Hmph, not bad. I've heard of you. In the Tribunal of Sin, if you encounter any difficulties, you can co to ."
"Thank you, officer."
"Follow . The work in the prison isn't too demanding, and there's quite a bit of free ti. Since this is your internship, the schedule will be light."
Quinn led them out of the hall.
"You will be temporarily responsible for Block No. 3 on the first floor. I'll take you there."
"The Tribunal of Sin requires guards to inspect three tis a day," Quinn said as he led them down a narrow pathway into the cell block, explaining the details of guard duties.
"The patrol is mainly to check for anomalies. Any abnormalities must be reported to imdiately."
As they spoke, the group entered Block No. 3.
Individual cells lined both sides of the wide pathway.
"Each cell has a magic array. If an anomaly occurs, the array will trigger an alarm. You must respond imdiately. I will also inspect when the alarm is triggered."
"Understood."
"Each cell block is numbered. The first floor has blocks one through ten. The prisoners here are low-risk. I will lead you on your first patrol."
