On the night before the state competition, a total of 16 candidates will be interviewed by the examiners one by one.

After all, 10 of these 16 people will become future Titled Knights, and the other 6 people will have a good chance of succeeding next time even if they don't succeed this time.

These 16 people are likely to become the future pillars of the country, and of course the examiners need to be interviewed carefully to determine their hearts, thoughts and character.

Of course, it is difficult to say how much such an interview can be seen, but it is impossible not to do it if the effect is limited, just like in modern times, civil servants have to be interviewed, and before you become a knight, you will naturally have to be interviewed by the examiners one by one.

As the first place in three consecutive levels, Fang Xingjian was naturally the first to enter.

As soon as he entered, he saw that behind a long table, four examiners were sitting quietly, and a chair was placed in front of Fang Xingjian, as if it was an interview in modern society.

Seeing Fang Xingjian sitting down, Xuexiu De Witt smiled first and said, "Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually, today's conversation will not be recorded, and it will not affect the results of this state election, so please speak freely." ”

Seeing Fang Xingjian nodded, Yaris first asked with an interested face: "Then I'll come first, Xingjian, to be honest, your talent is very high, and you are very promising to achieve the god level, so I really want to know, what is your goal in the future?

Governing the country, the country is peaceful, commanding an army, expanding the territory, or becoming a generation of grandmasters, and the world is full of peach and plums, or is it some other goal?"

Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the other party to ask this question, but he only thought about it slightly, and then said directly: "I actually didn't have much revenge, the only thing I wanted to do in the past was to pursue the highest level of swordsmanship with all my life's energy."

But then I learned that if you want to pursue the highest level of swordsmanship, you need not only to practice it yourself, but also to create an environment where you can pursue it quietly. Speaking of this, he paused, and thought of Li Shuanghua, Catherine, and the eldest prince in his eyes.

"Therefore, on the path of seeking the Tao, those who hinder my seeking the Tao and disturb my mind will be killed. ”

The four examiners looked at each other, and their eyes were all like this. Of course, Fang Xingjian's information was something they had investigated a long time ago, and they also knew a lot about Fang Xingjian's situation.

The other party belongs to the kind of existence where you don't take the initiative to appear in front of him and harass him, you will only concentrate on cultivation alone. As long as such a person is given enough space and resources, it is actually much easier to control than those knights who want to reform the country, want to expand the territory, and want to revitalize the family.

What's more, with their courage, how could they not tolerate Fang Xingjian's little impulse. Killing some evil and annoying beasts is not a big deal.

Fang Xingjian also knew that the other party must have investigated the information, and he himself did not bother to lie on this kind of issue. I didn't even dare to clarify my own intentions, how could I move forward in the way of knighthood and be brave and diligent.

Of course, the specific situation cannot be completely confirmed by the four of them in this conversation, and the specific situation will have to be slowly understood in the future.

Luke, who was full of old face, said tremblingly: "What do you think of the current practice that knights can dispose of civilians at will, the government cannot dispose of knights, and only the association can supervise knights?"

Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking about it, he understood the meaning of this question. Xuexiu De Witt is the person of the second prince, and the four examiners here are all from the study and cultivation system, so naturally they are all people of the second prince.

If the eldest prince represents the traditional power of the entire empire, then the second prince represents the reformers, who want to break the tradition of inheriting the throne and change the strict system of the superior arbitrarily oppressing the lower.

This question is obviously also meaningful, asking Fang Xingjian's political leanings.

For this question, Fang Xingjian naturally had no obstacles, he and the eldest prince had no possibility of alleviating it for a long time, and his thinking was originally closer to the second prince's faction, so he replied directly: "This is the root cause of cholera."

Commoners are the foundation of the empire, and a large number of knights are born from among them every year.

Kill at will, **** civilians, will only plant the seeds of hatred and contradictions, and if this continues, contradictions will erupt one day. ”

Luke then asked, "Then you think knights should have the same status as civilians?"

"That's not either. Fang Xingjian said: "The status of knights is naturally higher than that of civilians, the strength of the two is not at the same level, forcibly having the same status, only dragons and snakes will live, just the amount of food, exercise and strength of knights is a huge problem, and the unified management of the two will only make the country chaotic."

But the superiority of the knights should not be based on the cruelty of the treatment of the commoners, but on the generous welfare of the knights.

As for being able to kill civilians at will, it is an evil act, which will only destroy the foundations of the country, and it is never advisable. ”

Luke nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you will never kill civilians?"

"Civilians are not beasts, but they are definitely not treasures to be held in their hands. Caring for them excessively will only make them arrogant and think that they can really control everything. Fang Xingjian said lightly: "There is a saying that if you are near, you are not inferior, and if you are far away, you will be resentful."

Neither too close to them nor too cruel to them, keeping a proper distance is the way for knights and commoners to get along. ”

Luke nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "Although the opinion is still immature, but from the point of view of the idea, it is indeed a power that can be absorbed.

And what is close is not inferior, and what is far away is resentful? This sentence is very charming. ”

Xuexiu Devitt asked with a smile: "Then it's my turn to ask, Star Sword, among the remaining sixteen people in this class, who do you think is the strongest?"

Fang Xingjian said with a look of course: "Naturally, it's me." ”

Fang Xingjian's expression was flat when he said this, and his heartbeat was normal, neither proud nor arrogant, but like he was saying something extremely normal.

DeWitt showed an interesting expression and asked, "And if you want to fight, who do you want to fight?"

Fang Xingjian thought for a while and said, "If you talk about these 16 people, in fact, I'm not very interested. He looked at the four examiners and said, "It's the four of you, I'm very interested." ”

The four examiners all laughed, and Devit shook his head and said, "If you want to fight us, let's wait until your synchronization rate exceeds 50%, the synchronization rate of the Aether fan is not just the success rate of synthetic skills." ”

Next, Holt naturally came in for an interview, but he represented a god-level powerhouse, and DeWitt and they passed over after a little questioning.

But when the third Anderson came in, they seemed more interested.

DeWitt asked, "Out of the 16, who do you think is the strongest?"

"Fang Xingjian, right? Or Holt, he has a level 29 high-ranking divine soldier, and he can still fight with Fang Xingjian. Although Anderson, who had taken up the position of the Shadow Grim Reaper, looked unhappy, he still said Fang Xingjian's name, but he immediately added: "But this is now, after my second turn, I will definitely surpass him within three years." ”

DeWitt smiled and asked noncommittally, "Then how many places do you think you can win this time?"

"Second or third. Anderson's body was very short, sitting on the chair with his feet not reaching the ground, he said with his two feet swinging: "If Fang Xingjian is the first, I can still win him when I fight with Holt, if Holt is the first, I fight with Fang Xingjian, he is too fast, I don't have a level 29 divine soldier, and the winning rate is very low."

Dealing with people like Fang Xingjian, if you can't beat him, don't think about running away, in front of him, if you lose, you will die. ”

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, the last thing to look at is the luck of the draw in the ring." ”

In this way, after interviewing one by one, everyone then either rested or continued to cultivate, and finally ushered in the final hurdle of the state election, the ring competition. (To be continued.) )
