Chapter 257 Merlin: To deal with Ansu, I will personally set the questions

The slightly lonely autumn breeze at noon blew through the hall of the Alchemy Church, casting the shadows of the corners of the floral glass windows on the magic slabs, and dozens of huge magic screens displayed the external partitions.

According to the standards given by Bishop Morgan, all the rooms were divided into four viewing areas. Citizens could choose the saints or divisions they were interested in to watch, and the overall ranking of the saints was displayed on the largest screen.

"Go check it out! I heard there's a top-level world rating out there!"

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the underage section, and the rankings on the magic screen also changed.

[Ansu Morningstar (16), test number 16, Druid and forest rooms completed, score 10 points]

[Current total score: 20, world impact: S, SS+]

【Ranking: 3rd → 2nd】

The candidate named Ansu Morningstar surpassed the Holy Maiden of the Vatican, Lorga Fast, and came in second, closely behind Cersei Milton, the Princess of the Imperial Capital.

After Ansu's final results came out, the believers who were watching the game couldn't sit still, especially when they saw the 'SS+' rating. Many people knew what this meant.

When the impact of events caused by a saint is the same as that in history, the evaluation is A. If the impact exceeds that of historical predecessors, the evaluation is S.

To reach SS or even SS+ means that the saint has overturned the original history! Even Princess Cersei, who has now completed four rooms perfectly and scored 40 points, has only left an S+ as the highest world impact.

Many followers of the Princess's faction frowned, looking fearful and uneasy. It seemed that Her Majesty's score was more than twice that of Ansu, and her score ranking was also above Ansu, but the situation was not safe.

There were also many citizens who were in a state of panic. They had gambled in the black market, betting half of their life savings. They had originally thought that it was a sure win, but now that they saw that An Su had some signs of a comeback, they all began to get anxious.

If Ansu is lucky enough to get full marks in the next few rooms and the scores of the two are the same, then the data used for the ranking will be affected by the world, and Her Majesty will be in danger.

The SS+ rating was so rare that audiences from other areas also flocked to the underage area where Room 16 was located. For a moment, countless pairs of eyes were focused on Anzu.

Even nobles, sons of wealthy merchants, and political dignitaries from all over the country flocked to the scene, wanting to witness the elegance and heroism of the maker of history.

The popularity of Ansu's room instantly surpassed that of several other popular seeded players, and it continued to rise. Everyone was very curious about the heroic figure of this young talent from the Glorious Church.

"Move them all away!"

"Moving light is also a branch of holy light!"

Even the crow mask couldn't hide the smile on Ansu's face. He put all the druid materials on the mixing table into his pockets. His own two large pockets were already filled with a variety of high-level materials: magic bean pods, sunflower seeds, twisted vine branches and leaves, etc. Luo Xiaohei also panted and carried a small bag of fungus materials on his shoulders. He wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with his cat's paw and meowed again, thinking that labor was the most glorious.

These things are all materials for the potions for the exam. Except for a few flowers that were sacrificed by Ansu, Ansu did not use most of the materials.

It is surprising to say that the most materials Ansu used in this druid exam were alchemical materials, which were used to build Bishop Morgan's angel summoning array.

All his leveling materials were looted from the previous alchemy exam, and Ansu has now looted materials from the druid exam, which has formed a virtuous circle with an inexhaustible supply.

Ansu felt that he was a genius who had invented a new-age perpetual motion machine and that he should be awarded the Nobel Prize.

Under the watchful eyes of all the dignitaries, Ansu, a young talent of the Glorious Church, dressed in clothes like a black shroud and peeping like a strange crow, directed his subordinate Luo Xiaohei to search the examination room thoroughly inside and out, just like a cult devil entering the countryside.

They couldn't help but start thinking, is it necessary to temporarily stop donating to the Glorious Church ? What kind of thing is this magic god Merlin teaching? "Don't search. What do you want? Dad can buy it for you."

Count Carlo's face was filled with gloom. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He had never been so embarrassed before. Now nobles from all over the country would doubt the strength of their Morning Star family!

"This kid won't be able to run rampant for long."

At this moment, the god of law Merlin said coldly, with indifference in his tone, "The next room is a question that I have given to Anzu and Cersei alone. It's time to rectify the corrupt practices of the Glorious Cultists who are greedy for money and profit!"

"This kid will definitely die without a burial place."

As soon as the words fell, the entire examination room fell silent.

Bishop Merlin personally set the questions? All the priests looked at Merlin with hope. You know, this was a question set by this lord. His Majesty Merlin's birth was obvious to all. In the first round of the exam, only five people and one cat passed. This time he personally set the questions, and the difficulty must have reached the pinnacle.

We can definitely get rid of Ansu.

"Generally speaking, don't you want your own saint to win?" Bishop Morgan blinked and looked at Merlin, "Why did you cheat and make them lose?"

Could it be that the God of Law has high requirements for his disciples or that he deliberately set up the test?

Several possibilities flashed through Bishop Morgan's mind.

"Nonsense." Merlin lowered his voice calmly, "I also bet money in the casino."

Where the hell do you have the nerve to rectify the unhealthy trends among the Glorious Christians? Bishop Morgan's face was filled with black lines. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked too!

"And Ansu's father," Bishop Merlin said with a righteous look on his face, "also bribed me."

"You took their money, but you still want to bully their children?" Bishop Morgan admired Merlin's risk-taking ability.

"No." Merlin's expression was a little subtle. "His father paid me to increase the difficulty."

According to the examination rules, 30 points is considered a pass. As long as Ansu passes this third room, he will become a deacon of the Holy See and be included in the official civil service system. He will never be able to withdraw voluntarily.

"." Bishop Morgan said he couldn't understand this era. What kind of weird way of playing this game is this?

Compared with these old-born behaviors, my own hobbies that interest children can be considered elegant.

Ansu was still unaware of Merlin and his father's secret operation. He happily collected all the druid materials and kept his own "Blood Redemption Longblade" - because a lot of vampire blood was sacrificed during the summoning, the Redemption Longblade had shrunk significantly, and perhaps it should be called "Blood Redemption Dagger".

He held a dagger in his left hand and carried a sack of materials in his right hand. He pushed open the door of the study and walked out happily.

The dusk of this world spread out on the corridor in front of him. He followed the guidance of the stars and came to the door of the next examination room.

The entire door is pure white, completely different from the mechanical door of the Alchemy Church or the vine wooden door of the Druid. The door seems to be made up of lightly floating clouds, and its outline is the fluttering wings of an angel. It is somewhat similar to the "Gate of Heaven" seen on the tenth floor of the Magic Guild, and is full of a sacred atmosphere.

According to the order of the draw, the next examination venue is the Church of Glory and Blessing, which is Anzu's home turf.

Anyway, it wasn't Merlin who set the questions - the old guy had been stripped of his examiner qualifications, so An Su was more relaxed.

Bonus Level He hummed a little tune.

With a relaxed mood, Ansu pushed open the Gate of Light and stepped into a new world. An intense white light suddenly burst out in front of him. In a dizzy moment, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

The plague forest outside the window disappeared, replaced by a barren plain. The gray-white plain extended all the way to the horizon. At the intersection of the plain and the skyline, the outline of a church could be seen, covered with crimson sunset glow.

The red sunset that gradually engulfed the outline of the church was a raging fire.

The sounds of the stars echo in my ears.

【Saint Ansu Morningstar】

【Identity confirmed】

[Artificial Naraku World——]

For some unknown reason, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in my heart.

Before An Su could observe the environment clearly, and even before the notification sound of the artificial star ended, he saw a black shadow flash in front of him. The assassin wrapped in a long black robe had already pressed in front of him, and the cold bone spur pierced through his elbow and instantly slashed towards An Su's throat! He did not expect to be hit by an elbow as soon as he entered the field. He could not dodge in time and could only take a step back instinctively, barely avoiding the sharp edge. The bone spur slashed across An Su's skin, leaving a trace of blood.

This intensity is not right An Su's pupils shrank slightly. He felt that the person who set the test was more anxious to pass it than he was.

The exam announcement hasn’t even finished yet, how come it’s already started?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And there is this incredible door-opening kill!

This is the most Sima design. It feels like when the designer was a child, he was stabbed with a dagger by the teacher as soon as he opened the door into the school!

If it weren't for the advance warning from his saintly soul, an ordinary fourth-level warlock would have been killed on the spot if attacked at such a close range.

Because there is no time to chant in close combat.

The assassin's attack failed, and wisps of white steam came out from the gap between his mouth and hood. He turned his body again, and the bone spurs between his elbows drew a strange arc in the night sky, and came towards Ansu again.

Now that Ansu was prepared, he would not be easily attacked by the assassin. After many sacrifices, his body could already rival a third-level warrior. Although close combat was extremely deadly to warlocks, Ansu was an exception.

He lowered his body slightly and shifted his center of gravity to one side to avoid the sharp bone spurs, then took a step forward. His slender fingers held the bloody dagger and crushed it gently, just like a painter painting a picture, shattering the red clouds in the sky towards the assassin.

It didn't expect Ansu to have this trick. The blood mist spread into the assassin's lungs, and the holy water immediately burned his internal organs.

An Su took advantage of his weakness to counterattack. He stepped on the broken stone slabs with his left foot and kicked towards his abdomen with all his strength. The force of this kick was so strong that the assassin's body bent like a bow, and countless air currents burst out. The next moment, he flew backwards and hit the wall hard, raising countless clouds of dust.

[Artificial Naraku World: Before the Dawn]

[Rank: Fifth Rank (Holy Rank)! ]

The star broadcast that had been interrupted once again sounded in Ansu's ears.

It not only echoed in An Su's ears, but also in the ears of all the audience. Although the voice was very low and light, it set off a huge wave in everyone's hearts.

How many? Everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong. Even the most knowledgeable and distinguished dignitaries stood up in unison, all with astonishment on their faces. Fifth level? Saint level?

They looked at each other, and saw confusion and astonishment in each other's eyes. They should have remembered the examination room correctly. This should be the examination for promotion to deacon, not the examination for promotion to priest, right? The difficulty of the previous druid world was at the fourth level, which was already considered the difficulty of the first batch. This holy light room directly raised the difficulty to the holy level, which was a qualitative leap!

Except for Her Majesty Cersei, all the prospective deacons who came to take the exam were at the third or fourth level, so how could they pass the holy level room? They also found something strange, that is, the difficulty level of the glorious rooms of other saints did not reach the holy level. At present, only Anzu was the most special.

"Please don't be surprised, this is a normal difficulty adjustment." The Glorious Deacons hurriedly began to explain, so that Merlin would not put the blame on themselves, saying that only Anzu and Her Majesty Cersei were special, and as compensation, the upper limit of the score they could get in this room was higher than that of others.

The upper limit of the score for an ordinary Holy Light Room is ten points, while Ansu's room can get up to twenty points, which is twice as much.

After this explanation, the nobles calmed down a little.

But they still found it incredible. It was understandable that Queen Cersei was treated specially, but they did not expect that this border boy would receive the same treatment.

Why did Bishop Merlin favor and think highly of this young man, and why did he specially test Ansu and Cersei? Countless guesses emerged in their minds.

There is only one possibility, and that is that Anzu's talent is not inferior to that of Her Majesty Cersei.

Perhaps, the rumored bet on heaven is also true.

Compared to the turmoil in the hearts of the public outside, An Su, as the person involved, quickly calmed down. It was easy to guess that Merlin must have deliberately done something bad.

Instead of complaining about the world, it is better to focus on the enemy in front of you first.

Ansu looked a little solemn, he stared at the other party closely, the dust gradually dissipated, and the assassin's figure slowly emerged. Even though his lungs were filled with smoke holy water and he was hit head-on by Ansu's full force, he was not hurt at all. From this, it can be inferred that his rank is far higher than the blood servant in the alchemy room.

All the dust had dispersed, and the cold moonlight shone in. The black robe that the assassin was wearing had fallen off, revealing a horrifying torso underneath. It was not a human at all; it was as if it was a twisted form stitched together by countless lives, its body constantly expanding and swelling, crawling on the ground, its face full of seams, and more than a dozen pairs of hands stretched out from his back, each holding a sword, a spear, and even a fully drawn bow.

【Stitching Life】

[Level 4]

[Affiliation: Life Esotericism]

Stitching Life The Secret Cult of Life Ansu's face was filled with black lines. This thing was the top-level dung monster among all monsters. The planner who designed the title had the inspiration when he was chased by dozens of dogs when he was a child and fell from a 20-story building and had to get more than a dozen stitches in his forehead.

While confronting the stitched life, detailed information about this world and the room missions entered Ansu's mind.

[Artificial Naraku World: Before the Dawn]

[World Background——]

【At the end of the Third Age, when the Druid Warlocks in the north were trying to solve the Chaos Virus, the Glorious Crusade on the southern front of the Human Empire had entered its most critical moment. The Life Cult, led by its Saint, invaded the Human Empire on a large scale. They gained power through mass sacrifices and collected human limbs to create forbidden life. The Glorious Church suffered defeat after defeat, and most areas fell and lost the light of the Holy Light.】

[Introduction: You are a Glorious Paladin. All of your companions have died. The church you are in, the Dawn Church, is the last military stronghold of the Glorious Church in the south.]

[If it falls tonight, the Life Army will march straight into the heart of the empire, and countless civilians will become sacrifices on the altar. At the same time, you have a secret mission. Tonight, you must protect the only hope of turning the tide of the war - the Glorious Saint, before her prayer ceremony is completed and before your dawn arrives.]

[This is the darkest era, this is the brightest era, the dawn may never come, the dawn may come. Maybe there is only one last night left]
