The entrance exams to the church schools took place in the nave of the Cathedral of Yabe.

The Cathedral of Yabei can accommodate a total of 12,000 people, the nave is divided into 8,000, and the other buildings share the remaining 4,000 people.

This is the usual place for big worship, the dome is high, as high as five or six stories of a normal house, it is very majestic, and it feels empty when you stand inside. At the end of the nave is the main altar, and a little further there are rows of chairs, some of which have been temporarily renovated for the special needs of the entrance exams, and the tables are added to form small tables that do not look crowded when the students are scattered and seated.

From Norman's side, most of the space in the nave was empty, and the students who were seated not only did not fill the space, but felt more and more empty.

The dome of the nave is inlaid with a large glass skylight, on which are depicted religious pictures, such as the scene of the Son founding the Father's Church and being worshipped, the scene of the Holy Spirit persuading the dragons to enter the mountain, and the story of Nicholas III who created the Inquisition to save the world because he could not bear the abuse of the Father's Religion by the nobles as an excuse for killing.

And the most amazing thing is that the sunlight shines down from these skylights, and in the nave is a faintly visible image of a huge light man!

This miraculous sight, coupled with the empty nave, made Norman feel like he was in heaven for a while, but fortunately he was mentally strong, so he was only amazed, if ordinary people were allowed to come here, in the middle of it, I am afraid that they would have fallen to their knees and admired this miracle.

"The glass of the dome is specially carved to form an array, which allows the light to form such an effect at a certain angle, which is very skillful and artistic. ”

Lancelot said this in his heart, Norman didn't understand it, but he also knew that it was the glass skylights on the top that caused such a spectacle.

But now is not the time to admire the Yabei Cathedral, and it's only right to take the entrance exam.

Not two steps into the nave there was a makeshift platform behind which five priests were standing, each with their own role — well, in simple terms, this is where the examination fee is collected.

However, unlike previous years, because of the fatwa, the number of references this year has been greatly reduced, which has greatly reduced the workload of these pastors.

"Mr. Dominic. ”

When several priests saw Dominic and Norman coming, they all hurriedly saluted, and this scene naturally stunned the mages who had already come in before, and then stared at Dominic, wondering who this was.

It is strange that this man does not look like a priest in such a simple cloth robe, and does not look like a nobleman.

Dominic bowed to the priests as well, then turned sideways and let Norman out and ask him to pay the money.

After changing into this new dress this morning, Norman also considered the matter of paying the exam fee, and finally did not put the money bag in the crotch of his pants again, so he did not dig out the crotch of his pants in public.

He took the money bag out of the compartment of his clothes, paid the exam fee, reported all the personal information to the priests, asked them to register on the roster, and then continued to follow Dominic inside.

The candidates took the exam in a slightly inner part of the nave, with a large area spread out, and nearly ten clergy members were on hand to assist in guiding and arranging the students to take their seats. Their teachers hadn't left for a while, some were giving the students the final exam points, some were chatting with each other, and some kept glancing at Norman.

These were several black-robed mages, and in the middle was the red-robed mage Naiden, who was all looking at Norman and Dominic.

"I remember, it's the deputy head of the Knights Templar, Dominique Chapman. ”

After looking at Dominica for a long time, Nayden finally remembered where he had seen this man.

"I once met Duke Cahilda at a coming-of-age party for his second son, and I heard that he was on an important mission of the Church in Husum, so Duke Cahilda was able to invite him. ”

Deputy Master of the Templar Order?!

The black-robed mages took a breath of cold air in unison.

The Knights Templar is the Guardian Order of the Father, stationed in the White Mountain for many years, serving as the most powerful and elite knight order in the United Kingdom of Augustus, and every noble boy is proud to be able to enter the Templar Order. For example, the old king, who died at the beginning of the year, had been trained in the Templar Order, and the current second prince had also been trained in the Templar Order, which shows the high status of the Templar Order.

In other words, this deputy head is very likely to have been the boss of the second prince, and even kicked the second prince's ass, but now he is actually doing the work of guiding the way!

That's what only squires do......

Norman sat down in his place under the guidance of the clergy, and before he could sit down, Dominic took his leave.

"Goodbye, Norman. ”

Dominic stood in front of Norman and said this to Norman, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking friendly, but not very polite.

"Hope you ......"

Before Dominic could finish his sentence, a voice behind him interrupted him.

"Good morning, Lord Dominic. ”

Norman's gaze looked over Dominic's shoulder, and he saw several black-robed mages coming over surrounded by a red-robed mage, who was standing behind Dominic, and it was the red-robed mage who spoke.

Dominic turned to look at the men.

"I'm Nayden-Kennedy, and we met at the coming-of-age party of Duke Cahilda's second son......"

Nayden smiled enthusiastically, but tried to restrain himself from looking too doglegged, and wanted to say a few words to Dominic.

Dominic, however, didn't bother to talk to him more, just nodded politely to them, said "good morning", and then bluntly interrupted Naiden.

"I'm sorry, I'm talking to him about something. ”

Without waiting for the mages to respond, Dominique turned to face Norman again and whispered, "I hope you can remember what I just said." "I completely dismiss those mages as nothing.

Although Hardy Priest was very confident in preventing the Norman gentleman from approaching the Holy Maiden, Dominic was not as optimistic as Hardy, not because Dominic was smarter than Hardy, but because Dominic recognized a simple truth: son, did he win his father?

Just in case, Dominic finally decided to come and give the Norman a warning himself.

As before, the mages didn't seem to hear Dominic's words, only Norman could hear them. And after saying that, Dominic put his hand on Norman's shoulder and patted it gently, as if encouraging.

Only Norman knew that it was a warning.

Finally, Dominic turned and nodded to the red-robed mage Naiden who wanted to strike up his hand, "Goodbye." Then he turned around and left, and soon left the nave, without giving the mages any face.

After all, he is a martial artist, far from being as good as Duke Lake.

Although the mages led by the red-robed mage Nayden were a little embarrassed, there was no way, after all, the identity of the other party was much higher than that of them in the poor countryside, so they had to pretend that nothing had happened, and after smiling at Norman, they all turned around and left.

Norman was obviously different from the average reference student, so they all laughed at Norman unconsciously.

Nonsense, Thomas guaranteed that he was the future Origin Mage, Duke Lake was all smiling at this guy, and the deputy head of the regiment who had kicked the second prince's ass showed him the way, and encouraged him so affectionately just now, can a few of them who are not even blue robes still give him a look like an ordinary student?

I don't know how big this strange guy's background is, so let's laugh.

Norman looked at the mages who were smirking at him in bewilderment, watching them walk away before sitting down.

The exam fee was not paid in vain, the ink and quill were ready, and even two blank pieces of parchment were included, which should be used by the candidates to make drafts.

And Norman waited for a while, and the 3 bell finally rang, and the exam was about to begin.

The clergy began to close the doors of the church, and asked the priests to leave through the side door and go to the side room next to the loggia to rest, and when the priests had all left the nave, three deacons and two holy soldiers entered.

One of the three deacons opened the box and took out the test papers from the inside for the clergy to begin distributing.

The exams have officially begun.
