Don't confiscate my citizenship

The atmosphere in the hall was almost tense.

Caius sat on the high main seat and stared coldly at the candidates in the distance.

The dark gray heavily armored priest beside him held his breath, as if the air in the entire hall was frozen.

In less than a minute, a villain was the first to submit a disrespectful act against the Lady of Destiny to Archpriest Caius.

"Priest Caius, I'm done."

The submitter presented the hammered stone statue of Fate with a confident smile on his face.

However.

Caius just glanced coldly.

He shook his head.

"Mere destruction and insult are too low a level."

The villain's expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to say something to defend himself.

But when Caius made a gesture, the dark gray heavy-armored priest next to him immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm firmly, and dragged him toward the deep passage of the hall.

The villain's face was full of fear and disbelief, and he shouted: "I am loyal to the Resurrection Church! I have not betrayed!"

No one responded, and his call echoed in the empty hall until it disappeared.

The other candidates felt a chill when they saw this scene.

"This kind of perfunctory work does not prove your loyalty to me very well. If you are not loyal enough, you will be seriously suspected of the Church of Destiny, and we will detain you for observation."

After Caius finished speaking, he once again held his chin with one hand and stopped talking.

Some villains immediately began to nervously correct their work, fearing that they too would be deemed unqualified.

At this time, some people in the audience also figured it out.

In fact, Caius will not easily let anyone who passes the written examination go to the Batian branch regardless of whether the candidate is really suspected of the Church of Destiny.

Taking advantage of everyone present was his true purpose.

I originally thought that no one would submit work right away anymore.

It was less than ten seconds.

A tall woman wearing a silver skirt and armor stood up and walked directly to Caius on the high platform.

A cubic stone with clear six sides and corners was placed on the table.

"..."

This made Caius slightly stunned for a while.

He didn't expect West Germany, the most suspect, to be so straightforward.

She just restored the Statue of Destiny to the most common stone.

A stone cube, I don't know if she used unique magic or simple skills to pinch it out.

"Be decisive and quick, let you pass."

After thinking about it, Caius placed the stone cube on the left side of the table.

Instead of throwing away the candidates' works like before, accepting them was proof of passing.

Caius's original suspicion that she might be an undercover agent of the Church of Destiny actually became deeper now.

But if she is really an undercover agent, he is more interested in recruiting her in to play with her and let her experience what it means to be unable to fly without wings and to be extremely desperate.

Many people in the audience raised their heads slightly to observe.

In fact, in their opinion, the work of this woman in silver skirt and armor could be either qualified or unqualified.

But perhaps it was her tough and decisive attitude that made Caius decide to let her pass.

Immediately, West Germany returned to his original seat, looking as indifferent as ever with his arms folded and his eyes closed, waiting for the final review to be announced in more than twenty minutes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Next, gradually some villains finished their works and came forward to submit them.

[Fire Tongue] Leidor, who is quite famous among this group of people, slowly walked forward, his red hair flying in the wind, looking like a burning flame, and placed his completed stone statue of the Goddess of Destiny in front of Caius. , he burned the stone statue with flames and roasted it black, turning it into an ugly, charred corpse that was almost losing its human form and had been ravaged.

Caius stared at it for a while, nodded, placed the work on the table, and signaled that he could leave.

Redor, the imitator of the Bishop of Destruction, looked back with a confident smile. Apparently he also felt that his work satisfied the requirements.

However, the next few committers were not so lucky.

Their works were deemed unqualified by Caius and were thrown directly into the rubbish heap. Their works were also escorted away by priests in dark gray and heavy armor, which each time caused panic among many candidates in the audience.

Almost every submitter, when caught by a priest in dark gray armor, would keep shouting: "I am loyal to the Church of Resurrection! Why?"

But Caius didn't seem to care about this and just looked at the next submitter indifferently.

Until [Meat Slag] Graf walked up solemnly, his huge body seemed to make the entire high platform seem small.

He lowered the dismembered statue of Fate, just as he usually did with humans, and Caius could even see tiny traces of blood on it.

Caius was silent for a moment, "This work... is very good."

And next.

Several villains who were favored by him in the written examination answer sheet review all submitted good answer sheets. [Sting] Walter carved the statue of the goddess of fate into a human form that became miserable and died due to taboo living transformation, [ Blood Throat] Gia added musical magic to the Statue of Destiny, turning her into an evil god struggling and wailing in hell.

[Eyeball Collector] Thors, who submitted the work after them, slowly approached and handed the transformed Statue of Destiny to Caius.

The eyes of the stone statue have been removed, and many small holes have been dug out of the body, and the eyes of strange animals that look like living tissue from unknown sources have been filled in. I don’t know what kind of magic has been added to it. When Caius looked at the stone statue, all the The eyes would also move together to meet Caius' gaze.

Even Caius felt a little disgusted and put it on the table as a qualified work.

As the candidates' works are gradually submitted, some candidates who have not yet completed the work feel more nervous because of the "artwork" of these submitters.

The gears of the big clock above the door kept ringing, and every turn represented the passage of the remaining time.

"There are still ten minutes left."

Caius's voice sounded cold and emotionless,

"If you are unable to complete it on time, you will be directly regarded as a member of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny."

His words blew through like a cold wind, lowering the temperature in the hall.

This kind of punishment and intimidation has undoubtedly greatly deterred other candidates who have not yet submitted, making them work harder.

Some of the candidates looked back at the clock, their eyes beginning to show nervousness and uneasiness, while some remained calm, as if they were very sure that their works would be recognized by Caius.

The qualified candidates for the final review sat there with no expression on their faces.

Just waiting for the last time to end and the final assessment to come.

There are fewer and fewer candidates who are still working. The tools and stone statues in their hands make a crisp sound, which is gradually unable to cover up the sound of the gears of the big clock.

Caius sat on the main seat, leaning slightly and holding his chin.

Although he did not set his sights on any candidate.

But among the remaining candidates, the only one who still attracted his attention was the young man named Rocky.

He felt that anyone who could make such a written test answer would hardly be suspected of being a clergy member of the Church of Destiny.

However, this re-examination is necessary, and everyone's composition must be identified.

No matter how good his written test scores are, once his stance and loyalty are not firm enough, he must be destroyed and cannot be used by anyone else.

finally.

In Caius's waiting.

Lan Qi completed his work, with a hint of satisfaction and a little tiredness in his eyes, he stood up and walked towards Caius.

He placed the piece before Caius.

It is a reshaped stone statue of the goddess of destiny.

Caius raised his head slightly, looked at Ranchi, and then turned to his work.

Then his eyes seemed to be fixed on the Statue of Destiny, and he was silent for a while.

At the same time, because of the unusual silence caused by Caius's delay in giving an evaluation, some candidates gradually looked in the direction of Lanci's work.

The response from the young people who submitted their works was very indifferent.

On the contrary, it was his work that confused Caius.

After he carved the statue of the Goddess of Destiny, its posture was slightly changed, and it was reshaped into new movements, and it was extremely refined.

As if it were made by an unparalleled craftsman, the goddess' figure is vivid and full of warmth, as if she will move in the next second.

When other candidates saw Lanci's work, they couldn't help but be surprised by its artistry.

If they are all amateurs, this guy is definitely a professional among professionals. They have never even seen a carver of this level. Some even have greed in their eyes, trying their best to restrain the urge to snatch this statue. No matter what it is, it must be a priceless masterpiece!

But they soon noticed problems with the modified statue.

His expression also became similar to that of Caius.

I saw that the goddess statue, which was always full of divinity and quiet, had a slightly arrogant smile on her lips, and her posture changed to raising her hand with her index and middle fingers raised, making a V-shaped gesture with her palms facing inward.

There is quite a sense of contempt for all the villains here.

It stands to reason that portraying the goddess of destiny in such a dazzling and beautiful way should be directly judged as unqualified.

But Caius discovered a kind of duality in this guy——

He actually couldn't tell whether Rocky was praising the goddess or slandering her?
