novelAn Invitation From the Jury?
| ← Ch.170 | Ch.172 → |
"What's the matter?" Audrey asked.
She had seen the boy in front of her before. It seemed like he was in the trial. Back then, she had even made physical contact with him. She only remembered that he was very cold as if his blood was filled with ice.
"It's like this. Someone from the jury is looking for you, so they asked me to inform you, " Parker said.
The jury?
Audrey frowned. She had heard of the jury before. It was a very unique existence in the Templar Knights. It was responsible for maintaining discipline and ensuring the safety of the people. It could be said to be a supreme honor.
Since when did they come looking for her?
"Alright, I understand, " Audrey agreed. Although she did not know what the other party meant, she decided to go over and take a look first.
Just as he was about to leave, Parker suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve. His expression was frighteningly ugly.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Audrey asked.
She did not know why, but looking at Parker's expression, it seemed like the person who came to look for her was not an ordinary person. Instead, he was some kind of monster.
Parker said worriedly, "That person isn't someone to be trifled with. You must be careful when you speak to her. Don't answer truthfully when her asks you anything."
"Hmm?" Audrey frowned. What did he mean by saying that she should not answer truthfully no matter what he asked?
"That's not what I meant. You can still answer ordinary questions, but as long as it involves your matters in the Templar Knights, you mustn't tell him the truth." Parker pursed his lips.
Audrey thought for a moment and agreed.
The boy standing not far away seemed to be a little impatient. Audrey noticed his expression and narrowed her eyes.
As she walked closer, Joyce looked at Audrey, who was beautiful but had a hint of arrogance on her. He said, "Audrey, this is the first time we've met. First, let me introduce myself. I'm the Vice President of our jury, Joyce."
Joyce smiled and extended her hand to the girl in front of her.
Audrey looked at the hand she placed in front of her. Naturally, she was too embarrassed to refuse. She could only shake her hand.
"May I know why you've called me here?" Audrey asked.
It was because of Parker's warning that she did not want to talk to the person in front of her.
After all, she felt that the jury was not a good person.
Audrey pursed her lips. She could not remember what she had done wrong recently.
Moreover, it was something that needed to be discussed by the Vice President of the jury.
Joyce curled her lips slightly as if she had noticed the panic on her face.
"Don't be nervous. I called you over this time because I actually wanted to invite you to join our jury."
"Can I refuse?" Audrey asked without hesitation.
A few students who were passing by saw how she did not hesitate at all. For a moment, the expressions on their faces were distorted.
One had to know that in the Templar Knights, the jury could be said to be a powerful existence. Even if one was just a handyman in the jury, they could receive a lot of respect in front of ordinary people.
Moreover, the system of recruiting people in their juries was quite different from that of other places. In other places, it was either based on the results or the degree of obedience.
However, what the Templar Knights looked at was strength.
Simply put, those who could fight could enter the juries. The stronger one was, the higher the position would be.
Take Joyce for example.
One had to know that entering the jury was a great honor for ordinary students. Even if ordinary people were desperate, they would still think about whether they could find someone to use their connections to enter the jury.
But why did Audrey do the opposite? Not only did she not show any signs of happiness, she even wanted to refuse.
This was a little strange.
Joyce clearly did not expect that the little girl in front of her would reject her without even thinking about it. For a moment, the expression on her face froze.
"I'm here on behalf of the jury, so you should know that our jury is very serious. I hope that you can think about it as soon as possible and answer my question after you think about it seriously, " Joyce said sternly.
After all, she was standing here to represent the face of the jury.
It would not be right for anyone to reject a dignified jury like this by a little girl.
Audrey averted her gaze and thought to herself, does this person in front of me not understand human language?
"Didn't I just say it very clearly? No matter what I'm studying, the jury or the school committee. I'm really not interested at all." Audrey thought to herself.
Joyce took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She calmly spoke to the new student in front of her.
