Three hundred and twenty-five Final word
The shaman of the divine light, Taros, had been sitting elegantly and straight, and when he heard the charismatic man crying again, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his gaze swept over Sablanca's face like lightning.
What the hell does this guy want?
Subaru's pale brow moved slightly, but his mood was deep enough to hold his breath, and he didn't say anything, waiting for the last move of divine grace.
"Arthur's ability and contribution must be no problem, such an excellent talent must be favored by the beast god, and I don't doubt his piety," the red-clothed high priest said eloquently, and the words suddenly changed.
"The most critical question now is whether he can live up to the responsibility."
Can it afford it?
Few people would have thought that the High Priest of the Red Cloth of the Divine Grace Province would ask such a question. Didn't he just say that he thought Arthur's ability was okay? It's a bit of a contradiction.
As soon as this idea was raised, the voice of the Divine Charismatic Cardinal High Priest revived, and he further questioned it.
"Once such a person becomes a priest, he will inevitably take on very important responsibilities, and 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 high priest Tiger smiled, met the eyes of the shaman Sablanca in front of him, and made a final summary loudly.
"Arthur had faith and talent, but his talent was only a personal excellence, and it was not clear that he could take on the responsibility of a priest. And his age and experience, the time spent in the temple do not make people feel at ease with him in his work. That's all I have to say. ”
He bowed slightly and saluted in all directions, and slowly sat down.
Throughout the conference hall, pins could be heard.
Sharp!
This really raises a very difficult question.
The priest is not like a probationary priest, but he really has to take on the priesthood, to run as an important part of the temple machine, and with the attention and appreciation that Arthur has received, he will be responsible for the most important work in the future.
This requires the ability to really control local work, control a series of pragmatic work such as communicating with the people of the beast tribe and promoting the belief in the beast god. And in the process, there will inevitably be various problems.
As the messenger and representative of the beast god, the priest is the first line to face the public, and it can also be said to be the "face" of the most basic level of the temple.
Even Subaru was a little surprised by this question, and his face moved slightly.
This should be the last obstacle set by the Grace Provinces, and after it has passed, Arthur will have no problem turning to the full-time position.
Can't get by...... Then there is no need to mention anything. The concessions made before were all turned into meat buns and dogs, so that the three shamans could pick up the cheap.
Subaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over his opponent, the Rhine Sablanca with a deep temperament.
What a troublesome guy!
...... "Brother Arthur." ”
Anne was very happy to greet Arthur, who had been here for so long that Arthur's brother was finally done. Nini is also sensible now, knowing that her brother is doing the right thing, but now that she is busy, of course she can pull her brother to play, of course, in the absence of Subaru, what is the difference between men and women, Nini doesn't want to pay attention!
Lu Yao also followed Arthur back to Subaru's mansion, but she was more worried about Arthur's physical condition, and heard that this time in the Kaiser Dream Underground World, the opponent encountered by the candidates was a forty-fifth level silver-eyed banshee.
Although he has treated everyone with the Healing Battle Song before, of course, for Arthur, he has special treatment that is different from others.
"Okay, let's go into the room first, I'm tired...... I also have to change my clothes. "Zou Shenbang's clothes were all soaked by the icy lake water from the silver-eyed banshee, and although they had been almost dried by their body temperature, they were still quite uncomfortable to wear.
"Hey, hasn't the ancestor come back yet?" After walking a few steps, I remembered to ask a question.
Nini shook her head, and the subordinates who followed her hurriedly said: "Priest Arthur will take a bath and change clothes and rest first, and the master may come back later from the meeting." ”
Zou Shenzhu nodded thoughtfully. It seems that in this selection competition, the two great shamans are also biting very tightly. The undercurrent under the calm will definitely compete and contain it before the result is reached.
...... "Put it to the test." ”
The cardinal priest of Ovilan, Subaru, stood up confidently.
"Since you are worried about Arthur's ability, it can be tested with a test." If it weren't for the super promotion that required the nods of all the four shamans in the south, even Ovilan wouldn't want to dump these proud gods.
Such a difficult problem was raised by the other party, and there was no other way to prove it but through the test of actual work.
Subaru had already hinted to Ovilan before, and as a member of the same faction, of course understood the subtle subtleties. After O'Vilan finished speaking, the corner of his eye noticed that Subaru did not have any change in expression, and acquiesced.
It seems that his performance this time should add a point to the heart of the shaman Subaru. With O'Vilan's thoughts, since the test was proposed, he naturally thought about the follow-up reaction of the other party, as well as the content of the test and some details.
He cleared his throat and was about to continue to say his thoughts, when suddenly, the red-clothed High Priest Tiger of the Divine Grace Province who had sat down on the opposite side stood up again and said, "The Red Priest of Ovilan said very well, since it is a test, with the fairness and strictness of Lord Subaru of the Divine Yao Province, it must not be convenient to carry out it inside the Divine Yao, I have a proposal here." ”
One sentence blocked all what Ovilan wanted to say, and the tiger's eyes swept the opposite face of Ovilan, who was a little sunken, and smiled and supported the table with his right hand, imposing.
"In the northernmost part of our Divine Grace Province, there is a city that is in contact with the barbarians in the northwest, which has been harassed and plundered by those barbarians all the year round, and the people have suffered great losses, and the belief in the beast god has also been minimized, and Arthur Priest can choose there for this test. If you can make some practical achievements and bring up the people's belief in the beast god and our temple, you will recognize his ability. ”
In other words, this level is about to be passed, Arthur will be able to cross the probationary priesthood smoothly, and there will be no more problems on the side of Sablanca, the shaman of the Divine Grace Province.
It's just that...... I don't know how many ambushes there were in the words of the red-clothed high priest in front of him, and some people who were familiar with the inside story of the Divine Grace Province despised it in their hearts.
The so-called city that comes into contact with the barbarians in the northwest is naturally Dolan City, the northwestern border city of the Divine Grace Province.
The map of the Monga Empire basically occupies the center, while the northwest wilderness region is divided into grasslands and deserts, like a moon to contact the empire.
Facing the greatest threat of the Northwest Wilderness are the four northern provinces, especially the first-tier cities such as the border city of Ebony City, which not only faces the wilderness, but is also connected to the territory of the Land of Wind. When there was peace within the empire, the friction on the border never stopped.
Although the cultural, political, and economic aspects of the north are not as good as those of the four southern provinces, the people are fierce and always produce masters and strong people.
This is also the reason why people in the northern provinces look down on southerners and often call them "soft-footed shrimp".
As for Dolan City, as one of the few cities bordering the wilderness in the south, it is indeed a relatively miserable situation. First of all, the force of the southern provinces is indeed a little worse than that of the north. And savage people are not stupid, and the truth of persimmon picking up soft pinching is still very clear.
So every time the barbarians in the wilderness don't have enough food, or want to vent their strength, it is almost inevitable that they will wreak havoc on the southern border. And Dolan City, as a prominent one, also suffers disasters almost every year.
Every year, the grassland is green and yellow, and those barbarians kill them without doing anything, burn and loot, rob money, food, and women.
The most hateful thing is that after the robbery, he did not forget to set a fire, burned all the things, and killed all the people, so as to reduce the resistance of the Mengjia border for the next robbery.
Low belief in temples and beast gods among the population?
The priests of the temple and the city officials of the city guards had long learned the oil, and every time the barbarians came to kill them, they did not think of increasing the city's defenses or sending troops to repel the enemy, but fled as soon as possible. After all, his own life is the most important, and he has not fought before, but as a result, all those who insisted on resisting were killed, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not at all comparable.
When the barbarians had killed enough and robbed enough, they returned tremblingly, gathered the fleeing men, and continued 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.
Swore to resist to the death, fought bloodily, and finally repelled the enemy.
But the people above are not stupid, and the positions such as the Imperial Wind Watcher are not decorations, everyone knows what is going on. It's just that the upper-class people are busy fighting for power and holding each other back, and a few small border cities are disturbed by sāo, and the impact of grabbing something is not too great, so they have to get by.
In this context, as soon as the barbarians came, the priests of the temple all ran away, and no one would have a firm faith.
Where is the prowess of the beast god? Where is the protection for the people?
Believe you, believe your mom is spicy!
The people are very simple, if you can let him be fed and clothed, and live a good life, he will believe in you, otherwise it will be all. Especially in the border Dolan City, in an environment where the situation is precarious at any time.
How easy is it to be able to raise the faith of the people?
It can be said that the tiger's proposal is absolutely harboring evil intentions.
However, Subaru's side wants to help Arthur go further, and he can't help but accept this trick.
Test, is Arthur still afraid of test? For his apprentice, Subaru is still quite confident. The performance again and again also proves that he lives up to his expectations.
The test is also a kind of tempering and improvement, as long as this level is passed, Arthur's take-off will not have any problems. The front will be flat.
Seeing the calmness in Subaru's eyes, Ovilan was a little surprised, this kind of problem is a problem that even he with rich experience in governing feels tricky, isn't Subaru Shaman not worried about Arthur at all?
Or is it because of the shaman's strong self-confidence and boldness? Can't lose to rival Sablanca in momentum?
Retracting the thoughts in his heart, the red-clothed high priest of Ovilan took a slight breath, and was about to speak for Subaru, when he suddenly saw Subaru's right hand gently slap on the table, and returned to the opponent of the Divine Grace Province in a calm and calm voice.
"I accept the test you have put forward on behalf of Arthur."
Final word.
