The entrance examination at the Cárdenas Mission School is open to all and is open to all, and it is possible to take the exam for a fee of 5 silvernars. The students who take the exam can be divided into three parts in terms of learning experience: the first part is the students of the mages, which are the most promising group of people to enter the church school, the second part is the students of the mage apprentices like Franklin, among whom very few can enter the church school, but there are a few of them every year, and the third part is some ordinary students who mainly study literature and mathematics under the ordinary teachers, and some of these students have studied a little theology, but without exception they do not know the old language, and they come to the entrance examination of Cárdenas for nothingEvery year, there is never a single person in this group who can pass the entrance exam.

This practice has been going on for more than 100 years, but this year I don't know what the wind is pumping, as the church of Cárdenas Tunas, the Yabei Cathedral suddenly issued a fatwa early this morning, announcing that this year's entrance exam can only be taken by students of mages who have the qualifications of mages certified by the church: there are four levels of mages certified by the church, from low to high, they are junior mages (black-robed mages), intermediate mages (red-robed mages), senior mages (blue-robed mages), and archmages (white-robed mages).

Students who have the qualifications of a Church-certified mage are required to take the entrance exam, that is, at least a student of a black-robed mage can take the entrance exam. And these so-called "mages" in the third district, including Franklin, are all mage apprentices, self-proclaimed gray-robed mages, and their students are naturally unable to take the entrance exam under this year's policy.

It's no wonder that Franklin's face is so ugly now.

These wealthy merchants and declining aristocrats spend high tuition fees to send their students to their "mages" in the third district, hoping that their children will have the opportunity to enter the Cárdenas Church School, but now they will not even be qualified for the exam, how can they explain to those parents?

The thought of this gave Franklin a headache.

Franklin had a headache on the stage, and a student spoke up below.

It's Norman.

Unlike these young masters who grew up in a honey pot and the biggest thing in their lives so far was that they were beaten by bad boys, he has experienced too many adversities and disberides since he was a child, which made him quickly recover from this shocking bad news.

"Why?"

Norman asked, looking at Franklin behind the podium.

Franklin looked at him as well.

As a teacher, it usually depends on the mood to not answer the students' questions, and if you don't want to answer, you won't answer, but Norman's question obviously doesn't work if you don't answer it—if you don't give these little masters and young ladies a reasonable explanation, the parents behind them are afraid that they will be able to get him Franklin out of the third district, or even out of Cárdenas.

So Franklin answered Norman's question: "The Metropolitan Church issued an order early this morning, and this year only the students of the black-robed mage can register for the entrance exam to the Cárdenas Church School, and I am only a gray-robed mage, so you are not eligible to apply." ”

Looking at Norman, Franklin's head hurt even more.

In addition to dealing with the parents of these students, Norman's affairs are also a headache for him: he originally hoped that Norman's secret weapon would make him stand out in this year's entrance exam and double his tuition fees for the next year, but he didn't expect that now Norman is not even qualified to take the exam, how can he double his tuition? How can he become the enlightenment teacher of the future white-robed mage?

Of course, Franklin wasn't out of the question if he wanted to continue to shine on Norman's entrance exams this year.

He has been a mage apprentice in Cárdenas for so many years, although he has not been able to become a mage, but there are still many people in this circle, and he can also talk to the two real black-robed mages, as long as he recommends it, and talk about how terrifying Norman's ancient language talent is, I believe that the two black-robed mages will be very happy to accept this student, and then Norman will be able to continue to shine in this year's entrance exam.

But why did he do it?

Even if Norman was to shine by then, his teacher would be someone else, no longer Franklin, and he wouldn't get any benefit from Norman, so why would he do it? He wasn't really Norman's uncle.

So it didn't work to recommend it to the black-robed mage, and he had to think carefully about how to deal with Norman's affairs......

Norman didn't know that Franklin had sealed his way out in advance, and he was still entangled in Franklin's words just now.

Decree early this morning?

For some reason, Norman suddenly thought of the owl that stopped at his window last night, and he remembered that he had scolded the owl for being "stupid", and the owl seemed to understand, could it be ......

No, no, no, absolutely impossible!

Norman shook his head repeatedly, and immediately put his thought aside.

This idea is inevitably too unreliable, how could such a major event as the church issuing a fatwa to change the rules of the entrance examination be directed at his son of a small farmer? It is probably because Franklin has heard too much praise in the past two days, which has made him a little flustered.

As soon as Norman took the lead, the students who were originally in a state of confusion also reacted one by one and asked one after another.

"Mr. Franklin, what are we going to do?"

"Mr. Franklin, do we have to take the entrance exam to Cárdenas Public Schools? I want to be a mage, I don't want to be a clerk!"

"Is there any other way, Mr. Franklin? You know, my family is very rich, and if you can let me take the entrance exam to the church school, my father will reward you heavily!"

......

The living room was suddenly noisy, as noisy as a vegetable market, which was very different from the quiet scene on weekdays, and the noise made people's brains hurt.

And Norman was definitely the most disturbed by the noise of all the people present, because he had to endure not only the noise in the living room, but also the noise of the mages in his body.

"What the hell, what's going on with this inexplicable fatwa? ”

"What happened, can anyone translate it?"

"I'm dizzy, why don't you have the qualifications to register for the entrance exam?"

"What? I didn't even get a sign up?! How can I be a mage! Protest! Go to the streets and march to protest!"

"Parade fart, do you think this is a modern civilized society? Who cares about you under feudal centralization. ”

"That's what the hell annoys me most about the Middle Ages, where civilians don't even have a voice, and can only be at the mercy of the big guys. ”

"Do you think it has something to do with the owl last night? At that time, I thought that owl was very weird, otherwise why didn't I release it sooner or later, but suddenly released such a policy after the anchor scolded the owl for being stupid?"

"Where are all the Knights Templar dead?

"Hahaha, what am I talking about? Let you insult the little animal, and you will be punished! Animal lovers said to sit back and watch the show. ”

"There are too many owl scenes, about the owl fart, I think this has nothing to do with the anchor, there should be something happening in the upper echelons of this city, and the anchor just happened to be unlucky. ”

"From the perspective of probability, the probability that the anchor is just unlucky and affected is very large, and those who brush owls can shut up, you love animals so much, so you just eat vegetarian every day. ”

"10003, sexy dealer playing cards online, the voice is unbearable. ”

......

This morning, the entire Third District was in turmoil because of this sudden fatwa.

In a flower room in the Cathedral of Yabei, the source of the fatwa, a woman in a white robe was sitting in front of a window, with an owl hanging upside down in the shadow overhead.

Click

There was a knock on the door.

The woman said softly, "Please come in." Then an old man in a blue robe stepped in.

After he came to the woman and stood still, he routinely reported the daily matters: "Duke Lake still hasn't made a positive statement, it seems that our news is wrong, he should be on the side of the Queen Regent......"

The woman listened, but did not speak, but interjected casually in the interval between the old man's pauses: "Mr. Eugene said that you have issued a fatwa for the entrance examination of this city? ”

The blue-robed old man glanced at the owl faintly, his expression was calm, and he didn't show any emotion, but said, "Yes, but I don't think this matter is not worth paying attention to." ”

"Duke Lake is no longer trustworthy, so for your safety, we are bound to withdraw a large number of elites from Cárdenas, and with the previous events of the White Mountain, manpower here will already be very scarce. At this time, we can no longer give the city a long time to incubate talent, we need a large number of available people to fill these future vacancies, and the mage's students are obviously more suitable than the others who only have theory. ”

After listening to the words of the blue-robed old man, the woman did not say a word, and waved her hand after two breaths of silence.

"Go ahead. ”

"Yes. ”

The old man in the blue robe continued to report on his daily affairs.
