Chapter 1546:
What is the formal selection?
How come I have become a candidate for the Holy Priesthood?
Being dragged away by the middle-aged priest, Ronald's face was filled with confusion.
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the lecture hall, and the lake next to them reflected the sunlight in his eyes, that he was so stimulated by the light, that he realized what had happened to him.
The identity of this nun that she uses.
He is actually a candidate for the Holy City's selection of the next Holy Priest!
In this situation...
you can't break free and run away by force, right?
Ronald decisively gave up the bold operation in his mind and left with the middle-aged priest.
A few minutes later.
He was taken to the front of the Holy Grace Cathedral. The lake that had previously separated him from the cathedral now turned behind him.
There were already people waiting in front of the cathedral.
Ronald took a cursory glance and saw that there were about ten young people standing in various places in the square, both men and women, and acquaintances were still talking to each other.
Ronald listened.
In addition to his own candidates for the Holy Priesthood, it seems that even candidates for the Holy Priesthood are also coming today.
What the Holy City citizen in the lecture hall said should correspond to the situation at hand.
After Ronald was brought in, he consciously stood on the far left side of the square in front of the church. There were few people here and no one came to chat with him.
Not long after, someone came again.
When the number of young people present reached twelve, everyone stopped their previous activities in a unified and tacit understanding. They all walked to the square and stood in an orderly row.
"..."
An atmosphere of silence appeared at this moment, and no one dared to whisper anymore.
Everyone just stood in front of the cathedral, quietly waiting for something to arrive.
Inside, Ronald looked to the left and right cautiously.
In the originally deserted square, apart from these candidates, there were soldiers wearing silver armor standing guard around them.
Even if you don't have the ability to cast spells right now.
Ronald could also see the shining spell runes on the armors of these soldiers with just his own eyesight.
To put it bluntly.
Ignoring the person's own physical strength, the equipment on his body may be able to provide combat effectiveness comparable to that of an elite investigator.
"..."
After witnessing all this, it was naturally impossible for Ronald to do any more bizarre operations.
He followed the other candidates and waited quietly for things to change.
Click——
About a quarter of an hour passed.
The side door next to the main entrance of Holy Grace Cathedral was opened.
Several people wearing blue robes appeared on both sides. They lined up in two rows holding flagpoles high and guarded a path. Their tall and straight postures were not squinting.
Then three people in white robes and six people in red robes walked out one after another.
Ronald looked past these people and looked down at the cathedral. In fact, there were a few people behind, but their figures remained at the side entrance and did not leave the Cathedral of Holy Grace.
Ronald happened to meet one of them-Orel.
Take this king of beasts for reference.
These people who have not yet appeared are probably living saints in the church!
"..."
At this time, three people in white robes came to the young candidates gathered in the square.
They are three old men, namely the pope, the priest of the throne, and the priest of the throne.
Those who are qualified to follow them are the six Holy Metropolitan Bishops.
The unique clothes actually represent the unique and noble status of these people.
First, the canon priests and consecrated priests salute the Pope.
The old man with a kind face in the middle nodded slightly, took a step forward, smiled at the young men and women in front of him, and put his right hand on the heart on his chest: "Everyone, today is the 124th year of the Glow Calendar." "In the past hundred
years
. , the church has led people to victory against heresy. Now under the glory of victory, there is also an unprecedented crisis hidden. Humanity is facing unprecedented difficulties and challenges!" "Now that the years are here, new forces will take over from Chen
. The mortal past."
"Perhaps some people are hesitant and confused about their future - but I hope you can have confidence, a heart of faith that can overcome this crisis!"
In the Pope's words, there was no mention of the Holy Priest. and candidates for the priesthood.
Instead, it hints at the crisis the church is facing now.
After he finished speaking, the young clergy below also returned the favor to the Pope.
Then the old man took a step back.
The current Holy Priest and the Holy Priest came forward and began to preach in tandem and in a coordinated manner:
"I apologize for disturbing you today and taking time out of your ascetic practice to come here." "But
. Now that we are getting older, we are gradually unable to shoulder the important responsibilities of priests."
"After discussion, it was decided to start the selection of the next priest today. Work"
"This selection has nothing to do with secular constraints such as origin."
"Candidates will enter in batches. In the great temple, there will be trials to assess you—"
Although the two old priests spoke slowly, they were concise and to the point.
A brief description will be given later.
The two of them also retreated behind the Pope.
At this time, the other six bishops stepped forward.
The candidates, totaling twelve, were divided into six groups of one man and one woman. Each bishop led a group and continued to tell the details of the election.
The entire selection process took two weeks.
Today is just a trial in the temple, and it will be over in one afternoon.
If someone fails the test, the candidates will naturally return to the monastery and continue their previous life of asceticism.
Failure in the selection will not have any meaningful impact on them.
But once you successfully pass the trial.
Just tonight, in the ceremony prepared by the church, the candidates will meet the people of the Holy City for the first time and announce their status as official successors.
"..."
Listening to the bishop's detailed science information, Ronald mingled among them and his attitude was also serious.
After all, this is related to the success of the subsequent trials.
He actually has no opinion on so-called candidacy.
But being in the temple trial, coupled with my own experience. Ronald has almost determined that this so-called priest candidate test may be the key to him leaving the temple test.
The only thing that made him a little uneasy during this period was.
A monk came from outside at this solemn moment and whispered something to the Pope.
The other party was wearing a gray robe and looked like a standard hermit.
Referring to the sudden ringing of bells throughout the city and the hurried attitude of the monastery at this time.
Ronald was certain that there was something wrong with the five [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters.
As for their current situation...
were they caught by the people in the Holy City and tortured to find out the truth? or was there something else going on...
Ronald watched the reaction of the Pope and the priests.
It seems he is lucky.
The nun really intended to protect Lili's safety, so she did not reveal her reporting behavior. Therefore, Ronald did not accept a new round of interrogation.
At noon.
The time has come for the trial to officially begin.
The side door of the Holy Grace Cathedral was closed by the saints, and the grand door that had been closed was pushed open from the inside at this moment.
Because of the special function, the spell inside the temple has been activated.
Ronald and another candidate were taken to the main entrance by the bishop. When they looked inside, they saw only a white holy light and nothing else.
On the contrary, the colorful stained glass above the head brings peace to people with religious stories.
The bishop urged:
"Okay, go in quickly."
Ronald naturally had no objection.
With a slight nod, he entered with another unknown candidate beside him.
Just a simple step forward.
Ronald felt as if he had crossed some kind of boundary.
Before he could feel it carefully, a gray shadow appeared in front of him.
