Chapter 4 Registration and Assessment Session 1
"Uncle, we are here to sign up for the assessment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Lopez and Catherine came to the counter, and the person in charge of the reception was a middle-aged uncle with a long beard, who looked to be in his forties and fifties. He was flipping through a document in his hand.
"Is it fourteen years old, and no one under the age of fourteen can participate in this assessment. The middle-aged uncle's eyes glanced at the two of them obliquely, and then asked. He didn't stop what he was doing, and it seemed that what he had in his hand was far more important than his job of receiving registrations.
"Of course, uncle, I'm twelve, and this is my sister Catherine, who is twelve. But I'm a month older than her, so she's going to be my sister!" Lopez chuckled as she pointed to Catherine beside her.
"Soul Fade, how can I have such a useless brother as you!" Catherine covered her face and lamented.
Catherine ...... You...... Don't you love me anymore?" said Lopez, pretending to be exaggerated, clutching his heart.
"Enough, don't mess around in front of me. Hurry up and fill out these forms, I have more important things to do, and I don't have time to waste too much time on you. The middle-aged uncle said impatiently, and took out a stack of papers from under the table, which was a form for registration.
Height...... 168 muri (about one centimeter)
Weight...... 30 cartons (about 40 kg)
Then Lopez and Catherine filled in the form according to the content of the form, from height and weight to family background, from hobbies to when the last bedwetting was done, in short, this form is simply a thorough investigation. Because the scope he covers is too broad, although it is very tiring to fill in, but the two children still fill it out seriously, after all, you don't know if the assessment starts here, right?
"Huh? Quite seriously. The reception uncle picked up the form that the two people filled out for more than half an hour, looked at the handwriting on it and was surprised, and then put it aside and stopped touching it.
"Okay, you go in from here, someone will guide you next step after you go in, I still have something to do. The uncle waved his hand as if chasing flies, signaling the two to leave quickly.
Catherine and Lopez turned and walked to a small door next to them, and when they were already some distance away from where they had just been, Catherine suddenly turned around and looked at the place just now.
"What's wrong with you, Catherine? Lopez was puzzled by Catherine's behavior.
"Look at where you are. Catherine replied, and Lopez's eyes rolled away.
"Ouch, young master, you have a snack. Don't let the floor slip here. I saw that the uncle with an indifferent face just now was very enthusiastic about entertaining a young man dressed very luxuriously at this moment.
"Don't touch me, get out of here!" the boy shook off the middle-aged uncle's hand that he was about to reach out like a fly, and scolded angrily.
The uncle was also stunned for a moment, but then he continued to smile, and conjured a form from his robe in a cute manner, and said flatteringly: "Young master, this form still needs you to fill it out." ”
"What? Forms? You can fill out this stuff for me, I don't have that kind of work. I'm going to pass this boring test and have a banquet at home. ”
"Okay young master, I'll help you fill out this troublesome form, then, my son's affairs ......"
"Okay, okay, I'll talk about your son. The boy waved his hand impatiently.
"Thank you so much!" the uncle bowed and turned away. Then the boy walked in the direction of Lopez and Catherine with two retinues, and it seemed that he had to go in there if he wanted to continue the test.
Turning her head, Catherine found that Lopez's fists were clenched and her face was full of anger.
"That's enough, let's go. Catherine's flat voice was still so flat, unwavering. As if she hadn't done the act of turning Lopez around.
"Catherine, is it true that you say that all roads lead to Rome?"
"It's true, that's right. However, there are some people, who were born in Rome. When Catherine had answered, she turned and went on. Of course, Lopez also followed, but the backs of the two seemed to be a little different.
The first test will take place in the royal palace, where the priests of the church will test the talents of the Holy Light with special crystals. The more gifted a person is, the more light the crystal will emit when it comes into contact with it. The church will judge the qualifications of the contestants based on this, and those with poor qualifications will be eliminated directly, which is the first level.
At this time, Catherine and Lopez entered a room, which was not large and did not seem to be able to accommodate many people, so what about the huge number of contestants?
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Catherine wondered as Lopez looked around.
"I'm looking for people, do you see them?" Lopez replied.
"Who?"
"Those who came to the test all the same. ”
Without waiting for Catherine to answer, a man came up to her, a knight, and said, "Because there are too many contestants, we have divided many contestants into a large number of rooms, which is also to reduce the pressure on the examiners." ”
Lopez exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle George, why are you here?"
"Ah, I'm one of the paladins too. Besides, I want to see how you two little ones are doing. After answering Lopez's question, George turned his head to look at Catherine, who still had an indifferent face, and said, "Catherine, you need to be careful here." If there is anything, just report my name, and I will definitely help you. ”
"Okay Uncle George, I'll take notice. Catherine's flat expression and voice remained unchanged.
George was also a little embarrassed, so he could only smile brightly in acceptance.
After a while, the assessment began. A priest in a white church robe walked out of it, solemnly holding a crystal ball in his hand. This crystal ball is transparent, and it should be twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter, which should be a prop for testing.
"Hmm...... Are you all there?" asked the pastor on duty.
"According to the report of the random portal, the number of people in our assessment field has been completed, and the first round of assessment can start immediately. One of the knights replied.
"Well, in that case, let's get started. With that, the priest placed the crystal ball in his hand on a pillar, and then condensed a golden light from his hands and poured it into the crystal ball. That is the power of the Holy Light, which is given by God and mastered by mortals to become their own power.
The power vanished after the infusion, but there was something different about the crystal ball. I can't say what is different, but it's not the same thing as the ordinary glass I just saw.
"Everybody lined up and came one by one. Everyone has to go through this test. The pastor said after the preparations.
Following the priest's instructions, the people who came to take the test formed a long line, and Catherine and the two of them were among them.
The assessment began, and now at the front was a young man in gorgeous clothes, and it looked like this was another nobleman. He walked confidently towards the crystal ball, then gently placed his hand on it.
Suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a little light, it was very faint, like a candle in the wind.
The priest suddenly frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw the young man silently reciting a spell in a hurry, and suddenly the crystal ball rose with golden light.
"Did you see that? Catherine. Lopez asked.
Catherine nodded.
"Perfect! you're a genius!" the priest laughed and declared.
The person just now, because it was a silent recitation, only a few people saw it, but they all seemed to know it. Of course, the pastor saw it, but he didn't seem to be going to say it. Maybe it's because the pastor has a tolerant attitude towards young young people, and it's always good to give them one more chance.
At this rate, it won't be long before it's almost the turn of Catherine and Lopez. I don't know what kind of results they will get, but it's okay, even if the qualifications of the two people are not high, they have already prepared early, after all, it is a civilian family, there are not so many resources to cultivate from an early age, and it is normal that the qualifications are not very good.
Well, we'll see.
