noon.
Alchemical Church Division, Sixth Church.
The full name of the Alchemical Church is the 'Alchemy and Mechanical Church', and it believes in the Lord of Alchemy who is in charge of alchemy and magical machinery.
The saints of the Alchemical Church are all proficient in alchemy. They are also good at making alchemical arrays, designing alchemical puppets, and manufacturing magical instruments.
There is also some design and exploration of the world of 'Naraku Game' - of course, this important work is mainly done by the Astral Church.
The third day's test, which was also the final test, was conducted in the 'Naraku Game' - a game to please the gods.
By the way, the green train in Ansu’s hometown was also made by the saints of the Alchemy Church.
The unique design of using cheap first-level old warlocks as a power source to drive the magic train forward was conceived by the Alchemy Church.
They study civil engineering, but they don't just research civil engineering.
The interior of the Alchemy Church has a very earthy feel and is six stories high.
Metal-textured murals, statues made of pure white mercury, huge alchemical arrays, and pure iron metal gear emblems - all demonstrate their strong style.
The sun shone through the mercury dome, and the dazzling metallic light enveloped the Alchemy Church. The sycamore leaves outside the window cast dots of green. The hall of the Sixth Church was very large, as big as a football field.
There is a huge magic screen at the top of the center, which can display the scene of the entire hall.
Tomorrow's exam will be held in the hall of the Sixth Alchemy Church.
And this magic screen will broadcast their actions live.
An Su always felt that the gazes of the candidates around him were malicious.
It's already noon.
News from border cities is delayed, and the first batch of morning papers have already been printed, making it difficult to make changes.
But in the examination room of the Seven Gods Church,
Especially among these saint candidates, the news that Ansu was the first to hand in his paper had spread in a small circle.
The candidates more or less already knew about An Su, and they also knew that once he left the examination room, he would say, "The last question is very simple, and those who can't answer it are idiots."
So the look he gave Ansu became complicated.
Especially, those candidates who were in the same examination room with him.
Unparalleled resentment, silent anger, deep malice and even a hint of envy, admiration and respect - it is such a complex and inclusive emotion.
An Su was familiar with this kind of gaze. When he was ranked first in his grade in his previous life, he was often treated with this kind of gaze.
"snort."
One could even hear someone snort coldly.
“What’s so great about that?”
Faced with this malicious and bullying gaze, Ansu remembered how he dealt with it in his previous life.
He will handle these interpersonal issues appropriately and kindly.
"If you keep staring at me, I'll recite the answers to the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions."
An Su smiled, her smile was very bright and sunny.
"Let's compare the answers."
In his previous life in high school, Ansu’s favorite thing to do was to return to the classroom and recite his answers aloud after the exam - it was a great pleasure to appreciate the constipated expressions of his classmates.
As soon as these words were spoken, most of the hall fell silent.
Silent as a cicada.
There was no more anger and resentment in the look he gave Ansu, only respect and fear.
This effect is more effective than the advent of evil.
No one wants to compare answers with the top student in the grade, unless you are the second, especially on the first day of the exam - this is the same in either world.
My mentality for the exam will collapse. The surroundings finally quieted down. An Su raised his eyes and looked towards the second floor of the church, narrowing his eyes slightly.
At the same time, on the second floor of the Alchemical Church, several alchemical priests and priests were looking at the candidates below through the alchemical screen.
They are the invigilators for tomorrow's exam. At this moment, they are surrounding a huge round table and chairs, observing each candidate carefully and communicating in low voices from time to time.
Although the candidates below are all quasi-saints of the Glorious Church.
But if there are people with outstanding performance, as long as the price offered is high enough, it is also possible to poach them to our own church.
Anyway, we are all seven gods, and we are one family, so it doesn't matter who we believe in.
"Reverend Ashley, which candidate do you think is the best?"
An elderly bishop was holding a newspaper in his hand. "I think this student named Ansu Morningstar is good. He left the examination room early."
"From the border." Father Ashley answered without even looking up.
"Oh, I remember now. You don't like people from the border." The priest said with a wry smile.
"After all, it's from the border. I always feel a smell."
Ashley had no good impression of the border city. She was born and raised in the imperial capital, and her family was partly related to the royal family.
She herself is also a genius with rare all-attribute talents, so in addition to alchemy, she is also proficient in magic of most attributes.
"On the Proportion and Reuse of Warlock's Memory Grids" - This paper published by Ashley at the age of nineteen allowed her to successfully ascend to the position of priest at a young age.
She is twenty years old now and is already a quasi-fourth-level warlock.
'Magical genius' - this is how the outside world describes her.
"You will be in charge of the assessment tomorrow." The bishop of the Sixth Church said slowly at the head of the round table, "Be careful when you make a move."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ashley replied, but she was indeed thinking about other things.
Her brother Percy from the Order Church had just come to see her.
The senior brother listed three names and reminded her to be wary of the three candidates coming from the border - these three guys are not easy to deal with.
But it doesn't matter.
After all, he just came from the border.
That little place.
snort.
She really didn't take it to heart.
Ashley is very proud, and she has every reason to be proud.
Thinking that the time was almost up, Ashley stood up and bowed gracefully to the bishop.
She was wearing a snow-white long dress, her robe was embroidered with brilliant golden patterns, and her collar was emblazoned with a gear. When she saluted, she lifted the corner of her dress slightly:
"Then I will go read out the precautions to the examinees. Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
Perhaps because they had been waiting for a long time for the invigilator, the hall downstairs started to become noisy again.
But Ashley seemed to have magic. She walked down the stairs slowly and calmly. She made no sound. She just stood there and made the candidates around her quiet down.
Ashley looked around at the candidates and opened her lips slightly.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
"I am tomorrow's examiner, Ashley Milton. You can call me Father Ashley."
"Alchemy is a wonderful subject."
"Wisdom, courage, and perseverance—these are the three main elements of alchemy. Similarly, they are also important qualities of magic."
"Tomorrow's test,"
She said elegantly,
"Please use your little wisdom, your little courage, and of course, your perseverance - please use these three virtues and do your best to defeat me."
The whole audience was in uproar.
Defeating a quasi-fourth-level priest, is this a joke
"Please be quiet." Ashley had already found the three people from the border in the crowd. They had the border logo on their clothes. She smiled faintly.
"Now, I will begin to announce the examination rules."
