Section 93: Unable to pass
Gustav was not surprised that Hardy called Thomas his father, because Hardy was picked up by Thomas from the bandits' den and brought into the Father's Church, and Thomas was also Hardy's godfather, and Hardy had nothing wrong with calling Thomas his father.
He was surprised by Hardy's judgment.
"You can't cast any spells anymore?" How could a four-star white-robed mage not be able to cast any spells?
This was what shocked Gustav the most, so after he "clamed", he looked at Thomas suspiciously, then at Hardy, then at Thomas, and at the faces of the two people, and really didn't know what was going on.
Thomas didn't move as if he had expected Hardy to say this, but his eyes became deeper, and he was silent for a while before asking, "Is he really ...... Opened the Tower of Babel?"
"He" didn't even have a name, but the two people present knew who Thomas was talking about.
It was the nightmare of the Church of the Fathers, the devil who almost destroyed the Holy See, the source of all the chaos in the United Kingdom of Augustus today, and a mage who was so powerful that he was almost human.
He was Adrian, a name that ordinary people had never heard of, but which was a nightmare among the great nobles.
No one knows where Adrian came from, no one knows who his teacher is, and no one knows what level of mage he is, because he almost razed the White Mountain, the base camp of the Father's God's Religion, and severely injured the Pope, so it is obviously impossible for him to participate in the Father's God Sect's mage examination.
People only know that he is extremely crazy and powerful, but nothing else.
Not to mention humans, even dragons, there should be no more powerful existence than Adrian. Throughout the ages, probably only the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit could fight him, but unfortunately, the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit were no longer alive, otherwise, they might have been able to stop that guy's crazy actions.
"He entered the Tower of Babel and never came out again. ”
The Tower of Babel they are referring to here is obviously not the Tower of Babel in the meditation space of the mages, but it should be something else.
Faced with Hardy's answer, Thomas was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Shentu Bladeless ......"
Hardy nodded, "He should have killed him." ”
Shentu Bladeless is the name of the god of wisdom.
Gustav was not surprised by this, as a high-ranking member of the Father's Cult, he knew a little bit about it: since the Battle of White Mountain four months ago, he had discovered that two priests in Cárdenas had lost their ability to cast spells, and both priests were followers of the God of Wisdom. He also reported the incident to Hakusan, and then received the answer - the god of wisdom, may be dead. The God of Wisdom himself is dead, so it is naturally impossible to lend his divine power to his followers, so the believers of the God of Wisdom have empty magic and spells, but they cannot cast any spells.
Although this is extremely incredible, and it is the first time in human history that we have heard that God will die, it seems that it is not completely impossible to have a relationship with that man.
In response to the possible death of the God of Wisdom, the relevant people in the Father God Sect have also begun to make corresponding adjustments, such as adjusting the training plan, and all the content of the God of Wisdom will be eliminated when training mages in the future, etc., these Gustavus as the head of Cárdenas are all aware.
And now, Hardy also said that Thomas could not cast any spells, could it be that Thomas was also a believer in the God of Wisdom?
This is something that Gustav did not know.
If that's the case, then he was still confronting Thomas there for a long time?!
Knowing that the current Thomas is a paper man, he would have taken Thomas down a long time ago!
However, Gustav didn't slander too much about Hardy's promise to Thomas's surrender conditions: although Thomas himself has no ability to cast spells, there are still many remnants of the Church of Liberty around him, and if he really wants to fight, he still has to sacrifice a lot of soldiers.
After learning what he wanted to know and getting a definite answer from Hardy, Thomas said, "You are a very cautious child, so I am really a little surprised that you can agree to my terms so easily, it is not like you." ”
He even deliberately asked, "Aren't you afraid that I have any conspiracy?"
Hardy said, "Actually, I know what you're thinking, father. ”
"But your condition is only to let him take the entrance exam, I don't think there is anything unacceptable about it, if you change the condition and let him join the Father's Religion, I need to think about it. ”
Thomas heard what Hardy meant.
"You think he won't be able to pass the entrance exam?"
Hardy nodded, "Yes." ”
Thomas doesn't have a very clear understanding of Norman's specific level of archaic, but Norman's ability to read Adrian's notes and Norman's quirky tongue twisters show that Norman's current level of archaic is a little better, and passing the entrance exam to the Cárdenas Church School is not a problem at all. Hardy has also been sending people to spy on them, so he should know a thing or two, but why is Hardy still so confident that Norman will not pass the entrance exam?
The answer is obvious: the content of Norman's exam is likely to be added and different from other students.
"You've changed. ”
Thomas sighed, "When you were younger, you wanted to be an upright pastor, but now you're doing what you didn't want to do before. ”
Hardy doesn't think so, "I think that's what I should do, for the sake of the stability of the Father's religion, for people to be delivered by the Father, and for the sake of the Father's salvation, it's okay for me to go to hell myself." ”
Thomas looked at Hardy deeply and sighed, "You're really different...... but there was some relief in his tone.
"What extent would that be?"
Thomas asked, a little inexplicably, but Hardy understood what his godfather meant: Thomas was asking him what level of the exam would be the material he had given Norman.
Given that Thomas himself is now in danger and everything is under Hardy's control, Hardy doesn't mind revealing some information to satisfy his godfather's curiosity.
"Two-star black-robed mage. ”
What is the content of the exam for the difficulty of a two-star black-robed mage? Hardy does know a little about Norman's ancient language level, so he directly added Norman to the difficulty of a two-star black-robed mage. You must know that the content of the other students' exams is apprentice-level, and even the difficulty of a one-star black-robed mage has not yet arrived, and Norman's exam difficulty is directly two levels higher than them.
It's no wonder that Hardy is so confident: he has investigated Norman very clearly, a farmer who has been farming for more than ten years, and after learning an ancient language for a month, he wants to pass the mage assessment of a two-star black-robed mage?
Hehe, don't you need money to be a mage is a cabbage?
Even if Norman is indeed very talented at learning ancient languages, it is impossible to pass the exam content of the two-star black-robed mage after a month of ancient language study.
Hardy is sure of that.
He believed that Norman would never pass the entrance exam, enter the Church of the Fathers, and would not be able to trigger the consequences that Thomas had hoped for, which is why he agreed so happily.
Thomas closed his eyes and remembered.
He was not a cardinal as soon as he entered the Father's Religion, and like everyone, he climbed up from the bottom step by step, and during this period, he was also responsible for the content of the mage assessment for a period of time, so he knew a lot about the mage assessment mechanism of the Father's God Sect.
Then Thomas opened his eyes.
"Good luck. ”
Thomas said this to Hardy, a faint smile on his lips.
Noncommittal and undeterred by Thomas's bravado, Hardy countered, "Good luck too, father." ”
The two blessed and blessed here, and the conversation between Norman and Duke Lake in the square outside finally ended.
The church doors are open and the entrance exams are about to begin.
So much has happened, and it's finally back to today's topic.
