Chapter 381: Entrance Test
This guy is sometimes stubborn like a beast dragon, and in his heart it is enough to be a personal guard, anyway, he has no intention of separating from Philip in this life, and as for becoming a samurai who eats with a bow and arrows or a farmer who eats with a hoe, he doesn't care at all.
In the end, it was Philip who moved out of Little Jasmine to finally persuade the big stupid cow, even if the two had already made a private agreement for life, they would give the girl a more decent identity.
Otherwise, Old Patton would definitely have a hard time at that level.
The only person Philip did not force was Paul, whose outstanding strength and relationship with Philip destined him to always stand behind Philip and become a shadow of him.
After a period of getting along, this handsome guy who has completely entered middle age has become the most handsome and most incomprehensible man in the eyes of the girls of Red Rose.
Philip was going to persuade him to go to his father Matthew's side, but it happened that Matthew also lacked a strategic-level helper, believing that on the day the new city was built, the position of division commander directly under the division would not be able to run, but Paul refused.
"I really don't want to accept the Levinson family's inheritance, and although the title is unlikely to be kept, the wealth that has been left out of the books is not a small amount. Philip poured a glass of water for his guard and said.
"No, Jones and I have never thought of having a connection to this last name since we left that city. ”
From Paul's eyes, Philip did not see the slightest hesitation or regret.
What he didn't expect was that Jones, who was full of his impression of the pursuit of power and wealth, was also determined to reject such a huge fortune at his fingertips, as if for the two brothers, the surname Levinson represented only humiliation and burden.
Originally, he and Sophia planned something, not only wealth, but also wanted Paul to inherit Levinson's title and make a fuss here, but in the face of the other party's stubbornness, all his efforts were in vain.
But it was good that from then on, the knot that had been precipitating in the deepest part of Paul's heart was completely untied, and he just had to live for himself and his family.
But Sophia gave the money and property to Philip, who set up a fund to help women and children who had lost their families in the war.
Paul and Jones' wives became the officers of the nominally Sophia fund, helping the less fortunate as much as they could while taking care of the children.
"It's a pity that the seminary has strict management, and I may have to wronged you in the past few years, so I can go home more when I have time. Philip persuaded.
"I'll arrange it myself, when you're stable here.
The kids have grown up, there are a few good seedlings in them, and I'm going to take them in for the next step, and it's a great city for them. ”
Philip nodded, two of those children died in the war, but judging from their performance in that war, they already had a strong sense of belonging to the city of Gokan.
Peter has also picked out a few children, and these blank sheets of paper are the perfect pieces of the puzzle for the business intelligence network he is now building.
Since they all had their own plans, Philip didn't have to worry about it, believing that no one in this holy city would dare to break into the seminary to his detriment.
Although it seems to be unguarded on the surface, Philip knows that there must be a lot of old monsters hidden in such a luxurious place as a professor with a dignified paladin as a professor.
The new student report did not specify the date in detail, as long as all the relevant procedures were completed before the official start of the semester, but because he was a guaranteed student, Philip had to come to his college early.
The gates of the academy don't look very imposing, but they are very quaint, just like the buildings here, full of traces of time.
The red vines that covered the walls and the sculptures of ancient knights in the fountain all precipitated the heritage and culture of this ancient academy, and Philip even saw on a single wall the reliefs and biographies of dozens of Templars who had graduated from this academy and achieved extraordinary achievements.
Among them, there are eight holy knights directly under the Sanctuary, and even traces of the past popes.
He was greeted by a teacher named Tom, a somewhat thin, balding middle-aged man, who was more mindful of his appearance than a greasy uncle, and who looked more like a scholar than a knight with the few hairs that remained.
But Philip felt from the other party's sharp eyes and mysterious and awe-inspiring temperament that the other party's unfathomable depth, this extremely restrained coercion was even more powerful than the holy knight Augustine he had ever seen.
After Philip had shown his credentials for the temple of Gokan and his own temporary credentials, it took Tom half an hour, after being triple guarded, to lead him to an empty room at the back of the main building.
The attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold, as if Philip was just a very ordinary student, and he did not look up to him in the slightest because of his meteoric fame.
Philip muttered a little, feeling the loss more and more since he had arrived in this holy city, after the initial excitement.
From the man of the moment in the southeast, the commander of the 100,000 army, to an ordinary student now, this teacher's attitude is not an exception, which has made his somewhat impetuous heart gradually calm down.
Philip looked at the empty room in confusion, and there was nothing but an irregular black stone tablet more than three meters high on the ground.
"Put your hands on it, like this. Tom reached out and gave a demonstration.
Philip didn't feel the other party's malice, if someone sneaked up on him here, it would really be a joke, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here, if he really wanted to clean him up, I believe he wouldn't choose to conspire and trick him in one fell swoop.
He put his hands flat on the stone tablet, and felt the slightly rough surface of the black stone body in his palms, and it was strange that he couldn't feel a little cool in the southern weather in March, which was very warm.
Tom explained, "You were sent by Archbishop Melissa, you haven't gone through a series of assessments, you haven't studied in a low-level seminary, and the temple has not left a record of your divine power fluctuations, so you need to make up these procedures."
Soon you will feel something strange in your palm, maybe cold, maybe hot, don't be nervous.
This is the mark that everyone who officially joins the temple will leave behind, and it will serve as the basis for your future identification and the creation of special utensils.
It's also a simple assessment, and we'll keep a detailed record of the changes in the monument and assess all aspects of your potential.
As half of Melissa's teacher, I can give you a little hint that from the moment you join the temple, don't ignore even any small evaluation and assessment, and don't forget your original intention.
The results of these assessments and evaluations will accompany you throughout your life, and in the end, the upper limit of what you can achieve is hidden in these seemingly inconspicuous small assessments.
Okay, relax, it started soon, I'll be waiting for you outside. ”
After saying that, Tom sang an obscure hymn, and then he really went out.
Philip, who was left alone in the room, felt the tingling of his palm, and his heart was full of horror and nervousness.
For as Tom's chant ended, the whole room suddenly darkened, as if shrouded in a black haze.
With the black stone tablet in front of him as the center of gravity, it was filled with a strong aura of divine power, which was very similar to the powerful divine power of the temple of Gaokan City when he first awakened, but it was a little different.
He doesn't have anything for the assessment itself, and leaving a record of divine power is also the proper meaning of the question, he is nervous about his identity as a dual-core, and he doesn't know if it will cause any trouble if it is exposed here.
As the fluctuations of divine power in the air became more and more obvious, the black stele also underwent some changes, and the entire stele was trembling slightly, as if it was alive and woke up from its slumber.
Philip felt as if his hands were connected to the stele, which became a part of his body, and two alternating waves of hot and cold air circulated through his arm without any collision.
It's not pain, it's numb and itchy, as if it's itching from the blood vessels and muscles in the body, but I can't scratch it, and it's unusually uncomfortable.
At this moment, Tom's voice came from nowhere: "Calm down, let go of your spiritual power, just like when you first awakened, don't fight against divine power."
Everything here is a secret, and not even the head of this academy can see your file except me.
The core is the core secret of every clergyman, and it will be sent to the Inquisition of the Sanctuary for safekeeping, and we are only accountable to the contemporary pope. ”
Philip calmed down a little when he heard this, no wonder Tom was the only one who was here, and he was so mysterious.
It seems that his duties are not so simple, at least not affiliated with the seminary, or even to this holy city.
The Inquisition, it doesn't sound like a clear calendar.
Now that the choice has already been made, there is no need to dwell on it at this time.
He entered the inner vision, and the two blue-green spirit cores were entangled in his spiritual sea, shimmering faintly under the stimulation of divine power.
After careful perception, he found that the divine power here was indeed completely different from that of the temple of Gaokan City.
If the divine power of the temple of Gaokan City is like that of a somewhat willful woman, full of infinite temptation and aggression, the divine power here is like that of a man whose reason is extremely cold, perhaps it is more appropriate to be mechanical.
Those divine powers guided his spiritual power to resonate, and as his spiritual membrane opened, the blue and green spiritual powers actually left his spiritual core, and pounced on the black stone tablet with cheers along his hands.
By this time, Philip had lost his eyesight and even the perception of his own body.
