Volume 6: Job Change Chapter 7 Paladin Niu Baiwan (Part 1)
As far as I know, everyone will receive a rather difficult task from the trainer before changing jobs, some of which are to wipe out a group of kobold bandits, some to steal a secret letter, and some such as arresting wanted criminals, clearing demons, etc. These job-changing tasks are not easy to complete, and they are also very dangerous-I myself almost died while doing the job-changing task.
Therefore, almost everyone feels very happy when they successfully change jobs, because they have made hard efforts, endured dangerous trials, proved their abilities, and therefore got the rewards they deserve.
However, the situation this time seemed a little special. A stubborn guy was shouting at the top of his lungs, "Let me go", "Help", "I don't want to change jobs", etc. It didn't sound like he was changing jobs, but rather like a pig with its head tied up and its four hooves ready to be slaughtered.
This unreasonable shouting immediately aroused my curiosity. I looked in the direction of the sound and found that a tall and burly minotaur warrior was being held by the arms by four paladins wearing the emblem of the Star Knights, and was walking towards the parish saint, Ms. Milia Buttersfia, who was on the bulletin board. To be honest, it would be more appropriate to say "dragged" rather than "walked". The minotaur stuck out his round and plump butt and fell down desperately, wishing he could sit on the ground and not get up. He tried hard to get out of the control of the four paladins, and was struggling so hard that even his tail was twisted into a knot due to excessive force.
However , all his efforts were in vain. The four paladins with bright armor and solemn expressions were all level 60 warriors. In their eyes, the struggle of the tauren warrior was as weak as the fight of a child. Their arms did not waver at all, and their steps were still neat and firm. Looking at their pious and respectful expressions, I felt that they did not care at all what they were dragging at the moment - whether it was dragging a person or a bag of oats, these people with the power of faith in their hearts would probably complete their tasks meticulously like they are doing now.
In our lives, we can encounter surprising and unexpected encounters everywhere, and this time is no exception. Although I only glanced at him from a distance, I had accurately recognized who this minotaur who was about to change his job to become a paladin was - he was the first person I met after leaving Campnavia City, my partner and comrade in adventure, and the strong but somewhat slow-witted long-horned warrior Niu Baiwan.
In fact, it is very easy to recognize him. No matter where he goes, he has that dizzyingly long name on his head, like a moving billboard, which can attract your attention at the first sight no matter where he is.
Where Niu Baiwan exists, there is never a lack of lively scenes and sounds of laughter. For example, now, people walking on the streets of the city saw this giant minotaur who calls himself "the world's greatest hero, great hero, great chivalrous scholar, and great master" being dragged on the ground like a naughty child. Many people couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh, and many young ladies laughed loudly. Their laughter made me feel embarrassed - after all, the guy who was being laughed at was my friend after all. But despite this, seeing him sticking his butt out and blushing and making a fuss, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but bend upwards into a big arc.
Soon, Niu Baiwan was dragged to the notice board and was forced to kneel in front of Ms. Buttersfia by four paladins. Even then, he had not given up struggling, shaking his head violently, digging his knees and hooves on the ground, and still yelling:
"I don't want to change my job! Where is the GM? This is too inhumane..."
In response to his fierce reaction, Lady Milia Buttersfia did not show any displeasure. She was a dignified, kind and amiable middle-aged woman. In Reed City, anyone who was approved to be converted into a paladin would be sent to her to receive the blessing and approval of the Supreme God.
At this time, this respectable lady had slowly walked in front of Niu Baiwan, looking at the foreign man with a solemn and benevolent gaze that seemed to carry a bit of divinity, smiled and nodded, and stretched out her right hand to hover above his head:
"Unprecedented in history, shocking, unrivaled and invincible...a handsome young man in this troubled world, a beautiful young man in the world...full of ambition and energy, as strong as an ox, with a tiger's back and waist, a tiger sitting on the ground, an ox sinking, a geese falling, a dragon flying, and an ox dancing like a giant, the Niu Baiwan..." Ms. Buttersfia said Niu Baiwan's full name in one breath - this surprised me a little.
I also once tried to read out his name in one breath, but I almost suffocated after reading less than half of it. It was amazing that this respectable middle-aged woman had such a long breath. Not only did she finish reading such a long name (yes, Niu Baiwan's name should indeed be counted as "articles") in one breath, but her voice was also quite loud and her speed was always neither fast nor slow. This alone was enough for me to admire her for half a day.
"...Thank you, warrior from a foreign race who came from afar. You delivered an extremely urgent letter to where it should go in time. This will save the innocent lives of tens of millions of people from brutal and bloody invasions. Your loyalty, tenacity and fraternity are admirable..."
"Let me go..." Niu Baiwan's rude scream sounded at an inopportune time, covering up part of the priestess's voice. It was not until he stopped talking temporarily that I could hear clearly what Ms. Buttersfia said again:
"...Faith is not a wall that separates us, but a bridge that connects us. Although you have the blood of the Earth Mother Goddess flowing in your veins, your righteous deeds and brave deeds have proved to us that you are qualified enough to bear the glory of the Supreme God and become a noble and brave Paladin. I declare..."
"I don't want it..." Niu Baiwan was still resisting loudly .
"...I bless you in the name of the High God, and grant you courage and determination..."
"...I don't want to change my job to Paladin..."
"...You are already a glorious Paladin..."
"…If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have done this mission…"
"... for honor, for loyalty, for victory!" After saying the last sentence, a purple halo came out from Ms. Buttersfia's hand, wrapping Niu Baiwan in it. Amid Niu Baiwan's humiliating and helpless screams, he finally succeeded in changing his job to become a heroic and noble Paladin.
This was the most grand job transfer ceremony I had ever witnessed. Like everything else related to the Supreme God Darimos, this ceremony was solemn, dignified, and elegant, and everywhere made people feel the Supreme God's omnipresent majesty. Ironically, the only person who was out of tune with this ceremony was the protagonist of this ceremony - Niu Baiwan, who successfully changed his job. From beginning to end, he was struggling and shouting, unwillingly, embarrassed and tasteless, and there was no sign of the noble consciousness of devoting himself to faith and gods.
After watching this lively show, the people on the street immediately dispersed. Some went out of the city to fight monsters, some set up stalls, some fought for revenge, and some returned their tasks. Everything returned to its original chaotic yet calm and orderly state. The grand job transfer ceremony was like a stone thrown into the lake, which only caused a small ripple temporarily, and was instantly covered by the calm lake surface, as if nothing had happened.
