Chapter 466 You are destroying the foundation of the kingdom!

In the land of death?!

Alves' brain was confused for a moment, and he almost lost his footing and hit the altar behind him.

"Your Holiness?!" the Archbishop shouted in horror.

Pope Alves stretched out his hand to stop the archbishop's support, and then spoke in a trembling tone. "Use a spell to contact Tesis immediately and let him leave the land of death, immediately!"

"But...but Lord Tesis went in an hour ago...I'm afraid it's already..." the Archbishop stammered.

In fact, when they received the news, they immediately used communication magic, but did not receive any response.

Ninety-nine percent of the entire army has been destroyed by the doomsday spell!

Alves obviously understood this, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Monroe..." Alves growled, and then he suddenly realized that this church spy selected by Gustav and personally appointed by him must have rebelled!

Food wars and volcanic eruptions are all just farts!

This is obviously a conspiracy planned by the wizard!

I was stupid enough to believe it!

I even wrote it twice!

A strong sense of humiliation suddenly flooded into Alves' mind.

Previously, Monroe was just a small adjutant of the God's Punishment Army. Being able to take on this important task is enough to prove his trust and fancy in him. The other party not only betrayed this trust, but also dared to play tricks on him again and again!

Alves's chest was rising and falling, and his eyes were full of anger and murderous intent.

If the other party were not in the city of fire and oil now, and under the protection of the wizards, Alves would have wanted to pull out his bones, pull out his soul, and throw him into endless purgatory!

"It may not be Monroe, maybe he has been caught by the wizards..." Saint Randall suddenly came up with an idea.

According to Gustav's advice, Monroe was a warrior with firm beliefs and an extremely devout believer, so it should be impossible for him to be incited to rebel in just two months.

It is also possible that the spies they sent there were captured by the wizards, and the images seen before may also be disguised.

The camouflage ability of those shaping wizards is not weak. They can use shaping magic to look like Monroe from a distance of hundreds of miles. It is not impossible to hide from their perception.

Alves sneered. There were quite a few spies he sent to the City of Fire Oil, and they would report the internal situation to him every other week.

Monroe has been staying at the Wizarding Academy well in the past two months, and his travels are very regular. He definitely does not look like he is being coerced or captured.

I can only say that I made a mistake!

Fortunately, he had considered the possibility of traitors within the team before, so he divided the spies sent to the kingdom into several systems that would not interfere with each other. Even if there was a problem in any aspect, everyone would not be ruined.

However, a total of 20,000 elite legions of the empire were sent to heaven just because of their gullibility...

Thinking of this, Alves felt heartbroken!

The most important thing is that the wizards used doomsday magic again, which overturned all their previous guesses, like a sharp sword hanging in everyone's heart.

Just as Alves was thinking hard about countermeasures, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and his expression immediately became serious.

Randall on the side is no exception.

It is the Lord who has sent an oracle!

…

The impact of the hydrogen explosion lasted for three full days and could not be completely subsided. Just as Linn had expected, the kingdom's opposition that emerged due to the previous food war seemed to have silenced in an instant.

The security situation in various towns has improved a lot.

No one dares to jump out and cause trouble in the parliament at this time...

In the afternoon of the third day, the Wizards Council once again announced a major news, that is, a grand examination will be held in various cities in the kingdom!

As long as you know two hundred common languages ​​​​and are literate, you can participate, and the parliament will select the managers of each city.

In this regard, Lin En needs to thank the church for its rule over the mainland for hundreds of years. Although the language systems in different places are different, the writing has been basically unified, which saves them a lot of trouble.

As soon as such heavy news came out, it naturally caused an uproar within the kingdom. The selection of officials from various places through so-called examinations was simply unheard of in the empire's hundreds of years of history.

Moreover, the parliament does not restrict the origin of the candidates. It only has two basic requirements: proficiency in writing and being able to speak common language.

This means that even the children of poor families have the opportunity to pass the exam and become the local lord. However, in the world of wizards, they have a different name - called mayor!

Although it cannot be hereditary, it still has a term of office, and if you don't do well, you have to get out, but it still makes countless people's hearts move!

After all, he has the management power of an entire city. Isn't that the noble master he used to be?

Susan looked at the big notice posted on the wall and couldn't help but fantasize in her heart.

My two children are both in civilian colleges, and their grades are said to be very good.

In the past, Susan only thought that her children would be able to enter the research workshops of wizards and adults after graduating from the civilian academy, and work as assistants. At least it would be much easier than for her and her husband to work in the glass and musket workshops, but now it is

Let her see a new path.

Susan didn't even dare to think about becoming a mayor or something like that, but it was still possible to become a township mayor or a town mayor!

"You are destroying the foundation of the kingdom!"

An earl of the kingdom looked at the black and white words on the bulletin board, almost couldn't breathe, and shouted in a broken voice.

He understood that from now on, noble lords bound by blood have become a thing of the past!

There are not a few nobles in the kingdom who can feel the threat like him, but those big nobles who are not very bright have basically been cleaned up in this food war, and most of the remaining ones are standing in line.

Fast, new-style aristocrat with strong adaptability!

Isn't it just an exam? Their knowledge and management experience far exceed that of ordinary poor people. If they can't win this exam, they might as well go to the workshop and blow glass!

Many people even regard it as a shortcut to family rejuvenation and reaching the pinnacle of power!

It took only half a day for the announcement to be sent out. There was an endless stream of applicants, and soon it exceeded tens of thousands. Even many wizards were a little excited. Compared with the boring learning of magic, they were more willing to enjoy the wine called rights.

Monroe, who had been depressed for several days, also saw a glimmer of hope again. If he could pass this so-called assessment and become the manager of a certain kingdom, he might be able to make up for his mistakes by working hard from within!

Otherwise, it’s better not to bother, right?

Ivina hesitated to speak. Sometimes she couldn't understand what her colleague was thinking, let alone which side he was on...

But after Monroe's repeated insistence, the two still signed up. Although Ivina didn't hold out any hope, she also developed some interest.

The exam time was set on September 1st, which was also the time for the nuclear fusion reactor to be completed. Lin En wanted to use the cover of the exam to attract everyone's attention. After all, when this thing was started

It's the most dangerous time, and anyone in the city who doesn't pay attention will go to heaven!

Of course, the importance of this selection examination is self-evident. It is related to the transition between the old and the new order. We must not be careless at all. Lin En had to take some time to select some suitable companies from the database of Zhi Nao.

The test questions serve as the assessment content.

A few days passed quickly, and a craze for learning broke out in the kingdom. All the printed enlightenment books were sold out, and even roadside vendors would flip through a few pages in their spare time.

However, even if it is a temporary fix, it cannot change the current situation of illiteracy per capita among the kingdom's citizens.

Just being able to write two hundred common languages, and reading an official document word for word, eliminated 99% of the people. In the end, there were less than 2,000 people in the entire city of kerosene.

Exam qualifications.

Monroe was naturally among them. Before joining the God's Punishment Army, he was a baron in the empire. This kind of entrance test was naturally not difficult for him.

After officially receiving the test papers, Monroe glanced nervously for a few times, and then relaxed.

It doesn't seem to be difficult...

The entire examination paper is divided into two pages. Most of the questions on the front test basic calculations and the ability to understand official documents, while most of the questions on the back are practical questions...

For example, this question.

[Dachun is a devout believer in false gods. He refuses to cooperate with thought reform and has strong resistance. If you are the local affairs officer and have jurisdiction over this territory, how should you handle this matter properly? 】

What else can we do, of course, arrest him!

Monroe sneered. He understood that this must be a test of the wizards' obedience to the council. He must show how disgusted he is with these devout believers who are loyal to the Lord!

After thinking for a while, Monroe decided to use his method of arresting wizards and followers of evil gods in the northern part of the empire, setting them up as models, punishing them in public, and using severe punishments to curb this trend!

Not only that, but they must also encourage local reports on each other, give out high rewards, and catch everyone who disobeys the orders of the council!

After Munro finished writing, he nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed at the brutal rule of the wizards, and that he had to pretend to make suggestions for them.

Ivina was also looking at the test question in front of her, which was just another question about food and poverty.

[Peter is a poor farmer who has been cultivating wheat in the fields for generations and is unwilling to try anything new. Now that the price of wheat continues to fall, how can he rent the land, enter a workshop, or buy new farming machines to switch to farming?

More economical crops to get rid of the poverty of the past?】

Ivina pondered for a long time, and soon started to answer on the test paper. Just persuading the other party's stubborn temper will definitely not work. You can start with the other party's neighbors!

If these people enter the workshop and their living standards are visibly improved, and then let them build new houses, there will be comparisons and differences. You don't even have to waste words, and the poor people who have been farming for generations will change on their own.

If this still doesn't work, you can start with the family members and change the other person's thinking step by step. Ivina believes that as long as the poor person can see the real benefits, change will happen sooner or later.

Similar things have happened countless times in the kingdom. Ivina has chatted with many workers in her spare time, so she naturally knows some of the strategies commonly used by the parliament.

The other topics are also very interesting, including solving neighborhood disputes, improving the living standards of the residents, and promoting social stability.

There were a total of twelve questions on the back, none of which were repeated. The last question surprised Ivina even more. It was about the conflict between wizards and poor people. As a clerk, she needed to choose whether to severely punish wizards in accordance with the law or to let them go.

The poor swallowed their anger and resolved their conflicts.

Ivina wrote down every answer carefully and thoughtfully, and gradually understood the significance of the examination to select local officials. Those who can answer these questions and give satisfactory answers will also be able to handle government affairs with ease!

The exam lasts for three hours in total, and every minute and every second is very precious. Even some experienced nobles with rich management experience will find it difficult to give perfect answers to these tricky questions...

The most important thing is that they must figure out the basis for the parliament's questions and what kind of answers they want to get.

"The time has come, collect the papers!" As the temporary examiner, the great wizard Arad glanced at the magic hourglass and said indifferently.

After the words fell, the field quietly activated, and the examination papers in everyone's hands flew over spontaneously.

The examination room suddenly became filled with wailing sounds. Three hours was really too short. The first basic questions were fine. As long as you could read and count, you could finish them in a short time, but the subsequent practical questions were not that easy.

Many people need to think about a question for more than half an hour, and it also takes several minutes to write the conclusion on the exam paper.

Seeing howling in the examination room, Munro became more confident. Fortunately, his hand speed was faster and he had finished writing it all in the previous minute!

"Everyone, please be quiet. There is one last test that needs to be conducted next!" After Arad waved his hand and put away all the test papers, his eyes paused on Ivina and the others before speaking again.

"All official wizards, come with me! The rest of you stay here, and someone will be responsible for giving you questions later!"

Hearing this, the more than ten wizards present stood up one after another, showing complacency on their faces. They were not surprised. As wizards, how could they take the same test as these poor people and small nobles, and receive some special treatment?

Nothing could be more normal...

The rest of the poor have long been accustomed to this kind of inequality. Only a few nobles have some complaints and dare not say it openly. After all, the kingdom is now dominated by wizards!

"Lord Arad, what is our exam? Is it to measure the level of wizards?" A wizard asked in a flattering manner after going out.

He guessed that the council might allocate positions based on their wizard levels. He had already inquired about it. At least there was no great wizard in the City of Fire and Oil participating in this exam. In other words, as a third-ring wizard like himself, it was very possible.

Qualified for the position of lord.

Arad glanced at him but did not reply. After leading a few people into a room, he took out five exquisite-looking rings from his backhand.

"This is your test paper, put it on, you five come first!" Arad clicked a circle casually, and among the people he clicked were Monroe and Ivina!
