The shaman Talos of Shenguang has always maintained an elegant and straight sitting posture. Hearing the man of divine grace shouting again, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and his eyes swept across Sablanca's face like lightning.
What does this guy want?
Subaru's gray eyebrows moved slightly, but he was in a deep state of mind, able to hold his breath, without any expression, waiting for the final move of God's grace.
"Arthur's ability and contribution are definitely no problem. Such an excellent talent must be favored by the beast god, and I have no doubts about his piety," the red-clothed high priest talked eloquently, and the conversation suddenly changed.
"The most critical question now is whether he can live up to this responsibility."
Can it be worth it?
Few people would have thought that the High Priest in Red Clothes of the Province of Divine Grace would ask such a question. Didn't he just say that he thought Arthur's ability was fine? A bit contradictory.
As soon as this idea came to the fore, the voice of the grand priest in red revived, and he raised further questions.
"Once such a person becomes a priest, he will inevitably play a very important role. Ability is not a problem, but is there such a mature mentality to lead the overall situation?"
The voice paused, and seeing that everyone was thinking, the red-clothed priest, the tiger, smiled, touched the eyes of the shaman Sablanca in front of him, and made the final conclusion aloud.
"Arthur has faith and talent, but his talent is only personal excellence, and it is impossible to see that he can take on the heavy responsibility of a priest. And his age and experience, the time spent in the temple can't make people feel good about his work. Don't worry. That's all I have to say."
Wei Wei bowed his body and saluted in all directions, and slowly sat down.
In the entire conference hall, needles could be heard falling.
Sharp!
This really raises a very difficult question.
Priests are not like apprentice priests. They really have to take up the work of priesthood and operate as an important part of the temple machine. Moreover, with the attention and appreciation that Arthur has received, he will also be responsible for extremely important work in the future.
This requires another ability to truly control local work, control a series of pragmatic tasks such as communicating with orc people, and publicizing the belief in beast gods. And in the process, there are bound to be various problems.
As the messengers and representatives of the beast gods, the priests are the first line facing the public, and can also be said to be the "face" of the temple at the lowest level. They have great responsibilities and cannot tolerate any mistakes.
Even Subaru was a little surprised by this question, and his calm face moved slightly.
This should be the last hurdle put up by the Province of Grace, and when it's over, Arthur will have no problem turning into a full-time job.
If you can't make it through... then don't mention anything. All the concessions made earlier turned into meat buns and dogs, making the three shamans cheap.
Subaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept over his opponent, the Rhine Sablanca with a deep temperament.
What a troublesome guy!
…
"Brother Arthur."
Anne was very happy to meet Arthur. After so long, brother Arthur was finally done. Nini is also sensible now and knows that her brother is doing business, but now that she is busy, of course she can drag her brother to play. Of course, in the absence of Subaru, Nini doesn't care about the difference between men and women!
Lu Yao also followed Arthur back to Subaru's mansion, but she was more worried about Arthur's physical condition. I heard that this time in the underground world of Kaiser Dream, the opponents of the candidates for the election were silver eyes of level 45. Banshee.
Although he has treated everyone with Healing Battle Song before, of course, Arthur has special treatment that is different from others.
"Okay, let's go into the room and talk, I'm exhausted... I have to change clothes." Zou Shencun's clothes were soaked through the ice lake water from the Silver-Eyed Banshee, although they were almost dry from the body temperature. , it is quite uncomfortable to wear.
"Hey, isn't the master back yet?" After walking a few steps, he remembered and asked.
Nini shook her head, and the servant next to her hurriedly said, "Priest Arthur takes a bath and changes clothes to rest first. Master may return to the meeting later."
Zou Shencun nodded thoughtfully. It seems that in this trial, the shamans are also biting very tightly. The undercurrent under the calm will definitely be contained in a contest before the result can be obtained.
…
"Test it."
The Red Priest of Overland stood up confidently on behalf of Subaru.
"Since everyone in the province of Divine Grace is worried about Arthur's ability, you can use a test to test it." If it wasn't for the super-excellent promotion that required all four shamans in the south to nod, even Ovilan didn't want to dump these proud benefactors.
Such a difficult question was raised by the other party, and there is no other way, but to prove it through the test of actual work.
Subaru had given Ovilan a hint before, and as members of the same faction, of course, he understood the subtle cryptic language. After Ovilan finished speaking, he noticed that Subaru did not change his expression from the corner of his eyes, and acquiesced.
It seems that his performance this time should add a point to Shaman Subaru's heart. Based on Oweilan's thinking, since the test was proposed, he naturally thought about the follow-up reaction of the other party, as well as some details of the test content.
After clearing his throat, just as he was about to speak his thoughts, suddenly, the red-clothed high priest Bengal Tiger, who had sat down on the opposite side, stood up again and said, "Overan red-clothed high priest said very well, Since it is a test, with the justice and strictness of Lord Subaru of Shenyao Province, it must be inconvenient to conduct it within Shenyao, so I have a proposal here."
In one sentence, Oweilan blocked everything he wanted to say, and the tiger glanced at Oweilan, whose face was a little sullen.
"In the northernmost part of our province of divine grace, there is a city that is in contact with the barbarians in the northwest. It is harassed and looted by those barbarians all the year round. The people suffer great losses, and their belief in beast gods is also minimized. Priest Arthur this time. You can choose there. If you can make some actual achievements and bring up the people's belief in the beast god and our temple, then you will recognize his ability."
In other words, when this hurdle is over, Arthur will be able to successfully cross the hurdle of the apprentice priest, and there will be no more problems on the side of Shaman Sablanca, the province of Divine Grace.
It's just... I don't know how many ambushes have been thrown in the words of the red-clothed high priest in front of me, and those who are familiar with some insider stories about the province of grace are despised in their hearts.
The so-called city that is in contact with the barbarians in the northwest is naturally Duolan City, the northernmost border city in the province of God's Grace.
The map of the Mengjia Empire basically occupied the center, while the northwest wild area was divided into grassland and desert, like a moon-shaped contact with the empire.
The four northern provinces that face the greatest threat to the wild northwest are the four northern provinces, especially the first-tier cities such as the border city of Ebony City. When the empire was leveled, the border friction never stopped.
History and environment have created it. Although the cultural and economic aspects of the north are not as good as those of the four southern provinces, the folk customs are sturdy and they are used to producing masters and strong people.
This is why people in the northern provinces look down on southerners and often call them "soft-footed shrimp".
As for Duolan City, as one of the few cities in the south bordering the wilderness, it is indeed a miserable situation. First of all, the force of the southern province is indeed a little worse than that of the northern province. And the barbarians are not stupid, and the principle of picking up soft persimmons and squeezing them is still very clear.
So every time the barbarians are running out of food in the wild, or want to vent their energy, it is almost inevitable that they will wreak havoc on the southern border. As a prominent one, Duolan City suffers from disasters almost every year.
Every year, when the grasslands are green and yellow, those savages will kill them if they have nothing to do. They will burn, loot, and do all kinds of evil, robbing money, food, and women.
The most hateful thing is that after the looting, he did not forget to set a fire, burn all the things, and kill all the people, reducing the resistance of the Mengjia border for the next looting.
People have low belief in temples and beast gods?
The priests of the temple and the city guards and the city officials have long learned to oil. Every time a barbarian kills them, they don't think about increasing the city defense or sending troops to repel the enemy after receiving the news, but immediately pack up and flee. After all, your own life is the most important thing, and it's not that you haven't fought before. As a result, all those who insisted on resisting were killed, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not comparable at all.
When the barbarians have killed enough and looted enough, they will come back tremblingly, gather the fleeing people, and continue to be their officials and priests. Of course, you have to wipe your ass after the disaster, and don't forget to make a high-sounding report and submit it.
Resisting to the death, fighting with blood, and finally defeating the enemy are all overused.
But the people above are not fools, and the duties such as the imperial watcher are not decorations. Everyone knows what is going on. It's just because the upper-level people are busy fighting for power, keeping each other in check, and a few small border cities have been harassed, and grabbing something doesn't have much impact, so it's just a matter of life.
In this context, as soon as the barbarians came to the temple priests, they all ran away, and no one would have a firm belief.
Where is the bravery of the beast god? Where is the blessing for the people?
Believe in you, believe in your mother!
The common people are very simple, you can keep them well fed and clothed, and you will believe in you if you live a good life, otherwise it is all bullshit. Especially in the border city of Dolan, under the precarious environment at any time.
It's easier said than done to mention people's beliefs?
It can be said that Tiger's proposal definitely contains evil intentions.
However, Subaru wanted to help Arthur go a step further, and he had to take this trick.
Test, is Arthur still afraid of test? Subaru is still quite confident about his disciple and grandson. His performances time and time again proved that he lived up to his expectations.
The test is also a kind of tempering and improvement. As long as this test is over, Arthur's take-off will no longer have any problems. There will be a flat river ahead.
Seeing the calmness in Subaru's eyes, Ouweilan was a little surprised. This kind of problem was difficult even for him with rich governance experience. Isn't the Subaru shaman not worried about Arthur at all?
Or is it because of the shaman's strong self-confidence and courage? Can't lose to his opponent Sablanca in momentum?
Taking back the thoughts in his heart, the high priest in red of Ovillan took a slight breath and was about to speak for Subaru when he suddenly saw Subaru patted the table with his right hand, and returned to the opponent of the province of God's grace with a calm and calm voice. .
"The test you put forward, I accept it on behalf of Arthur."
The final word.
