North Ireland border.
A group of six people appeared in the teleportation array.
The missionary, who had been waiting, immediately went to greet them.
"Holy Lord, three angels."
"No need for such formalities."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, his divine sense scanning the surroundings. He noticed many believers from various places walking and reading holy books along the official road, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Has the atmosphere of faith here become so strong after just a few months?"
"Through your mercy, the Holy Light has illuminated the entire Northland."
The preacher said respectfully, "In addition, this period is also the initial stage of the Holy Examination, and believers from all over the world are going to take the test."
"The Holy Examination?"
Jiang Yan paused.
"Yes, Holy Lord. In your previous instructions, you requested the expansion of the Holy City to accommodate believers."
"But even with the dwarves working day and night, the demand for housing in the outer city is still far from meeting the needs, so we have been forced to add some restrictions."
The preacher explained, “Except for those with special talents, those who are connected with the Holy Light, or those who are the most devout believers, only those who pass three rounds of holy tests can be granted the right to enter the outer city of the Holy Spirit.”
That's interesting.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly; he remembered.
It was mentioned in the plan given by the missionary that he had approved it.
Where is the most recent pilot program?
"It's in the City of Travelers, Holy Lord, would you like to go and see it?" the preacher asked excitedly.
For them, nothing is more joyful than receiving the approval of the Holy Lord.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Jiang Yan turned around and smiled, "You guys need to change your appearance, otherwise you'll attract too much attention."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Upon hearing this, Analia said softly, "Under the Holy Light, you and I are just ordinary people."
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the three angels transformed into ordinary human women.
Sheena reluctantly took out a coat and wrapped herself in it.
As for Death, he simply put away his scythe.
—Now, in the territory of Northland, undead in the shape of skeletons can be seen everywhere.
Let's go.
With a gentle flap of her wings, Loshia sent everyone vanishing from their spot.
...
In a corner of the city of travelers.
Seven people appeared quietly.
A group of bored, strong centaurs suddenly brightened up and surrounded them.
"Distinguished guests, would you like to take a 'horse taxi'? We centaurs are known for our fair prices and fast service!"
"No need, thank you." The preacher's expression changed, and he quickly declined.
"Well, what a pity." They shook their heads regretfully and retreated.
"Holy Lord, Your Excellencies, please follow me."
After dismissing the enthusiastic centaurs, the missionary led the crowd toward the city.
A bustling main street came into view.
People came and went in an endless stream, and there were even quite a few undead skeletons wielding magical vacuum cleaners to clean the streets.
"Huh, what are they selling over there? There are so many people." Jiang Yan curiously scanned the area with his divine sense.
Rolls of magically printed exam papers were neatly arranged.
Three years of rigorous examinations, five years of mock exams
The True Examination Papers for the Holy Examination
Basic Commentary on the Holy Scriptures (Annalia Edition)
...
Jiang Yan turned around with a strange expression.
"Anna, did you really help write this?"
"Yes, Holy Lord. You've forgotten, I'm a clerical worker among the Seraphim, and that's exactly my job."
Annalia explained in a low voice.
"Uh...that's really true." Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
The opponent was so skilled in combat that the fact that she was a civil official was completely overlooked.
"Let's go check out the test center."
"Yes, Holy Lord, this way please."
Led by the missionary, we walked through two main streets, and a magnificent monastery came into view.
Countless candidates are lining up to take the test.
The process is very simple.
Judges, each carrying a thick Codex of Holy Light, stepped forward and used their abilities to convict each person.
If the person is guilty, the law will automatically turn to the corresponding page.
However, most of those who came to take the exam were devout believers, and very few were arrested on the spot.
At this moment, another candidate stepped forward.
The judge uttered a soft command: "Convict."
Instantly, the Holy Light Codex began to flip rapidly.
Um?
The judge's expression immediately turned serious, and he looked down.
The charge, Article 17 Supplementary Clause 3: Reading pirated commentaries on sacred texts.
"No, I can explain. I'll never watch pirated content again..."
Seeing that even such a secret matter had been discovered, the examinee panicked and hurriedly said something.
"explain?"
The judge stood up and said coldly, "Reading pirated commentaries on holy texts is a blasphemy against the Holy Light, an unforgivable sin. I sentence you to Punishment Cell Number Three for one hundred days."
Holy light condensed into shackles and chains that descended from the sky, binding him tightly.
A phantom image of a prison door appeared, and a large hand reached out from inside and pulled him inside.
"As expected of the Holy Light Tribunal."
Jiang Yan shook his head.
However, after this incident, the subsequent tests went very smoothly, and no further accidents occurred.
Soon the first round of sacred examinations officially began.
"Let me see a test paper," Jiang Yan said, somewhat curious.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Soon, the missionary brought out an exam paper that was sealed.
Jiang Yan casually tore open the test paper and examined the questions on it.
1. The earliest followers of the Great Holy Lord of Light were:
A. Seraphim Annalia;
b. The Holy Dragon of Light, Yaberic;
c. A group of goblins;
d. Greatswordsman.
This is easy, Jiang Yan chose C with a touch of nostalgia.
Speaking of which, my first pot of gold came from these little guys. I wonder how they are doing now.
Keep reading.
2. As role models of labor in Holy Spirit City, the dwarf team has only had a few days of rest so far.
A. One day;
b. Two days;
c. Three days or more;
d. None of the above are correct.
Jiang Yan recalled carefully that he seemed to have given the seven great temples of Xilank a two-and-a-half-day break after conquering them.
Based on that calculation, it must have been more than three days.
It's still C.
This question is a bit difficult, but there aren't many of them.
3. The great Holy Lord of Light accepted the allegiance of the Dream Grass Clan primarily because:
A. The Holy Lord, out of compassion for all living beings, could not bear to see their race perish;
b. Dreamweed rarely attacks people unprovoked and is considered a neutral creature;
c. The Dream Grass's sincere attitude moved the Holy Lord.
d. None of the above are correct.
Another easy question.
Jiang Yan chose D without hesitation, the main reason for accepting their allegiance being...
Anyway, none of these are correct.
Jiang Yan continued reading.
There are also some simple ones, such as "the first monster outside Colton City to be instantly killed by the Holy Lord's gaze".
As for the short answer questions, they're practically free points.
Recite the entire Holy Scripture and the full name of the Holy Lord of Light; any believer can do that.
The last two open-ended questions were somewhat interesting.
1. Xiaoming openly declared that "making the Holy Lord create a stone that he cannot lift" is a paradox of the Holy Lord's omnipotence. What is your correct understanding of this?
2. Please discuss your views on the dead (Question by: Analia).
Jiang Yan used his divine power to condense his thoughts into words and quickly filled the exam paper.
"It's just the preliminary test, so it's not very difficult."
After answering, Jiang Yan smiled faintly and tore off the magical self-check seal on the page.
