Chapter 3 The beginning of the assessment

In a few days, it will be the paladin tryout, and then the church will select the best qualified children from a large number of children and send them to the special knight academy in the church for training, where the teenagers will be trained to become a paladin who has mastered the power of the Holy Light.

However, this selection can be said to be very "fair, just and open". That is, in addition to qualifications, examiners mainly look at your identity. In other words, if you are a civilian, then it is better to dispel this year as soon as possible, you will not be able to enter. Paladins are such a powerful force, the nobles will not tolerate it being in the hands of commoners, and unfortunately, Lopez is currently a commoner.

"Catherine, tell me, can I pass the test?" Lopez asked with interest.

"Hmm......" Catherine's eyes looked Lopez up and down, and then sighed~

"Eh, Catherine, what are you sighing about, do you think I won't pass the test?" Lopez dissatisfied.

"Hehe, do you really think this assessment is fair?" Catherine said lightly.

"Of course, that's the paladin's assessment! The spirit of the paladin is fairness, justice, bravery, and justice! How can there be anything unfair?" Lopez's face was full of confidence.

"It's okay if you're happy. Catherine couldn't do anything about Lopez's current appearance, his current appearance was obviously poisoned. If you tell him something about the Paladin's right now, he'll probably turn the other cheek with you.

However, he will know what is going on when he goes to the assessment himself in a few days, but I just hope that he will not be bitter at that time.

So Catherine smiled and said, "Okay brother, then I'm here to wish you the title of the gold list!"

"Don't worry, Catherine, I'll definitely get the qualification of the Knight Academy and come back!"

For the remaining few days, Peloz has been in anticipation and excitement. For a child, dreams are always full of anticipation.

Finally, three days later, the church announced the official start of the decennial paladin selection. This selection is to symbolize the fairness and justice of the Light, as long as you are from Elonir, you can participate.

When the proclamation was hung at the gates of the palace, all who were expecting it cheered and vowed to give everything to the Light. Whether he is a commoner or a nobleman, an adult or a child, no one can shake the authority of the Holy Light Church among the people!

This event will be held in the royal palace, why in the royal palace? Because in Elonir, the royal power and the church are actually one, and every king will also serve as the pope, and the authority of the church makes the king's authority extremely consolidated, and there has been no major internal political struggle for thousands of years, which is not only a measure made by the king to stabilize his rule, but also a measure that is most suitable for the human kingdom in this era.

"Your Majesty, this selection competition is about to begin. All the nobles more or less sent the most gifted people in the family to participate. Later, you will need to attend two banquets, after which you will put on a papal dress and announce the start of the competition. One of the king's attendants read a lot of itineraries from the notebook in his hand.

"Okay, okay, push the banquet for me. Except for the opening ceremony, don't call me anything else, I have other uses during this time. His Majesty waved his hand and said, the perfunctory tone of his tone made the chamberlain next to him very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

"I have my own time, Henry, don't think that you are a noble ruler who can command me, I am the king of this kingdom!the embodiment of the Light, Emperor Elonir XXIII!" The king scolded the attendant angrily, but he did not look alarmed, as if the king's threats were of no use to him.

But of course, as a nobleman, he was born with the right to manage the nobility, and although these rights are now used by himself to open the way for the development of his own power, he is still another center of power that is traditionally outside the royal family.

On the other side, Lopez, who had walked dozens of kilometers from Dongcheng District to the royal palace in the center of the city, was broken down at this time.

"Why are there so many people!!!" he screamed loudly and fell to his knees in an exaggerated manner.

Then he was violently dragged up by Catherine, while tugging at his ears.

Catherine ...... It hurts, it hurts, let go, I'm wrong......" Lopez began to beg for mercy without restraint.

"Don't disgrace me on such an occasion......" Catherine said through gritted teeth. Lopez subconsciously looked around and found that almost all the people around him were now attracted to them, and they all looked like they were watching the excitement. And people are still gathering more and more, and it seems that the habit of watching excitement will be there everywhere.

"Come with me!" Catherine blushed, as if a lot of steam was coming out of her head, and quickly dragged Lopez out of the place, still holding Lopez's poor ears tightly in her hands.

Passers-by saw that everyone was gone, so they had no interest in looking anymore, and soon all the people around here dispersed.

On the other side, Catherine and Lopez walked closer to the palace, where they needed to sign up.

"Catherine, why are there so many carriages here?" asked Lopez, who had been wondering since he had been pulling his ears a moment earlier, because it seemed to be the place where all of Elonir's luxurious carriages were gathered. Luxury carriages, which are not usually connected at all, are as common here as cabbage sold on the street.

"Those are the cars of the young masters who came here to sign up for the paladin, and we civilians can't compare. Catherine's face was flat when she said this, and the words were as simple as resignation.

As they spoke, a large number of carriages kept coming, and although there were a large number of them, the huge area of the Place of Glory of Eloniel in front of the palace was still large enough to accommodate them.

Why could a medieval city accommodate such a large amount of traffic? There were thousands of cars parked here alone, not to mention a large number of vehicles coming, and they were almost like a highway.

Here we have to talk about the design of the city of Elonier, and the entire setting of Elonir is a mesh design. With the royal palace and the church as the center, the city is expanded around the concentric circles with flat avenues as a network line. Each avenue is made of stone, but arguably smoother than some modern asphalt roads. This proves that although this world is set in the magical background of the Middle Ages, it can still be seen that they even have a certain mechanical foundation!

"It's not just a lot of cars, but the palace is so beautiful!" Lopez looked at the building in front of him with a glint in his eyes. It is a marble building with a bit of a baroque look. The tall and pointed tower is topped by dozens of ringed boulder bars, which are semicircular in shape, and you can faintly see that there are very delicate patterns on them. And underneath it also emits the light of the Olympiad. The glow was golden yellow, with occasional blue, and emanated from a gem at the top of the tower, the protective circle that maintained the palace and the entire Alonir, also known as the Star of Elonir. It is a god-given power, and it is the most important power that protects people in this day and age, followed by paladins.

"Catherine, why aren't you excited at all?"

"Why am I excited?" Catherine's paralyzed face did not change much because of the greatness of the architectural art in front of her, but was surprised when Lopez's question came up. She really didn't find any fuss about this, although both of them were civilians who had never seen the world, but the difference in personality determined that the two reacted to some things very differently.

"Uh...... Let's go inside. Lopez couldn't think of anything he could say, so he led Catherine to the gate where they would sign up. Of course, it was Lopez who participated in the assessment alone, and Catherine was simply dragged over by Lopez. Although I will also participate in the assessment, but a girl knows that she can't pass it if she thinks about it, and she can't sell sex or anything here.

"Are you here to be tested?" Under the shroud of the Holy Light, the Paladins in armor guide the devotees who come to the Hajj to the location of the Light, who will be tested by the Light and become warriors of the Light.

To put it simply, the doorman showed the two men the way.

There are a lot of people inside the door, and it is bustling like a vegetable market. But unlike the wet market, there is no voice of small citizens arguing over a few cents, but the hypocritical communication of a group of hypocritical aristocratic gentlemen. They pushed cups and changed lamps, talking and laughing. From the beautiful lady last night to how to pass the assessment, and how to buy the examiner. Everything, everything.

"Ah, there are so many people. But even so, I will definitely pass the test!" was the first thing Lopez said after coming in, although he was laughed to death by the nobles at the first sentence.

"A civilian would dare to say such a lie. ”

"It's okay, the examiner has another set of assessment criteria for civilians, and he won't pass. ”

"If I were to be in the company of such a pariah, I would die of shame. ”

There was a lot of discussion among the nobles around him, but almost all of what he said was mockery or swearing, and no one said anything good anyway.

The big-nerve Lopez didn't pay attention to these words, and even Catherine wondered if he had heard them, because his face was still so bright that people couldn't help but be infected by his happy emotions.

"yes, why do you care so much. Catherine chuckled and took Lopez's arm and walked to the registration location.
