Mystic Dominator

What exactly is the content of the trial faced by candidates for the priesthood?

When the gray figure reflected in his eyes.

Ronald was not afraid in his heart, nor did he step forward immediately.

He is thinking.

Is this a test of understanding of magic, piety for faith, or human character?

About what you are about to face next.

In just a moment, many possible conjectures appeared in Ronald's mind, and the various ways to deal with it were even more difficult to calculate.

"Child, come here quickly."

At this time, the gray figure spoke.

He waved to Ronald, calling in a gentle and kind tone, like an old man calling his grandchildren.

In contrast, Ronald raised his eyebrows.

Based on the emotion contained in this sentence, he was sure that this figure was not a mechanical magic program, but an intellectual individual with personality.

Some of the tricks I had prepared to deal with spells seemed to be of no use now.

I sighed in my heart.

Ronald had no choice but to walk towards the other party.

When he came in front of the gray figure, Ronald discovered that the figure had a human appearance, but his specific appearance was hidden behind a fog and he couldn't see clearly.

Except for a trace of kindness revealed in the vague expression.

Now without the blessing of magic ability, Ronald basically cannot analyze any unnecessary information.

"Child, come on, sit down."

At this time, the gray figure issued an invitation.

After entering the Holy Grace Cathedral, the first thing you see is a quite wide corridor.

The gray figure said hello, waved one hand in the air, and a chair appeared behind Ronald, and motioned for the candidates in front of him to sit down.

Of course Ronald would not refuse;

The other party continued to comfort him:

"As a candidate to be a priest this time, I know you must be anxious and nervous. But you don't need to think too much. This is just a simple inquiry. Just answer my questions honestly."

Ronald pretended to be nervous and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, I understand!"

The gray figure stopped talking and started directly with his test questions:

"What do you think of the story of the shepherd letting the devil go in the Mongolian Scriptures? Is his behavior sinful?"

As it happened, Ronald spent a lot of time in the church library.

He had read many classics and stories, and this paragraph fell within his knowledge range, so he nodded quickly and answered:

"I don't think he is very sinful!"

"The simple shepherd was deceived and did not know that he was releasing a demon; in his mind, he was just helping a stranger, which was an undoubted act of kindness!"

The gray figure asked back:

"He does not know the truth, but the act of letting the devil go is an irrefutable fact!"

Ronald is very firm in his opinion:

"I feel that those who have been deceived, especially those who are kind, should no longer be held responsible."

"..."

The gray-robed figure pondered for a moment.

After a few seconds, he spoke again:

"My child, your attitude is not suitable for controlling witch hunters."

Hearing this suggestion with a hint of rejection, Ronald smiled slightly.

He was not afraid of this kind of conversation and responded to the other party's point of view quite calmly:

"Witch hunters are the majestic side of the church. Faced with certain situations, it naturally requires ruthless majesty; but at the same time, the church should also show its compassionate side to people, and both must be done at the same time."

"Hmm..." The gray figure nodded slightly.

He did not directly express his views on Ronald's reply, but ended the topic and moved to the next link:

"So what do you think about the experience of Saint Delis on the twenty-fourth day in the Book of Delis?"

"..."

Ronald immediately withered.

He happened to have seen the story involved in the previous question in the church's archives, and he answered it naturally.

But now this...

That's really confusing, with no information at all.

It was just a mistake to speak rashly, and now I can only use words to deal with new problems:

"What are you asking about my opinion on?"

"..."

The gray figure fell silent. He obviously didn't expect Ronald to ask such a question.

And this action also reminded Ronald.

——There was something wrong with his answer.

What the other party asks about must have a very obvious causal relationship in some aspect. As long as you ask, you should lock in a certain exact answer direction.

And his probing cliché just now obviously did not match the other party's inquiry.

Ronald has exposed his problem.

But the expression on his face was completely unafraid, and he continued to speak calmly, trying to make up for it before the other party asked:

"I think one should not just look at the appearance of a thing, but also delve deeply into its internal philosophy. Personal views are always one-sided and cannot perfectly summarize the rich reality. What do you think?"

Ronald's remedy worked.

Although a bit far-fetched.

But the gray figure never thought that the person sitting in front of him was a fake who knew nothing about church scriptures.

After all, this is a solemn ceremony for the church to select candidates for priests!

How could outsiders get involved?

And in his detection spell, Ronald's speech showed no signs of lying.

So based on the previous questions and answers, he was convinced that this was Ronald's true thoughts.

So he even started to praise:

"Son, you are flexible and can look at problems from multiple angles, which is very good."

"In that case, let's skip this question first."

"Let's talk about the fourteenth Pope Mandac and the reforms he made to the church during his reign."

"..."

broken!

It’s something I don’t know at all!

After two questions in a row that he knew nothing about, Ronald even felt like cold sweat was breaking out from his back.

But that's what happened.

He could only break the jar and use words to push back:

"I...I feel that times are always changing, and the environment is also changing. An unchanging organization that remains unchanged in a continuously changing environment will inevitably decline. And if changes are made - although the consequences of policy changes will be There are good and bad things, but the very act of making a change is already a very courageous choice.”

"..."

"Huh?" The gray figure's tone was full of confusion.

He was successfully fooled by the last question.

Now Ronald's answer sounds impeccable.

But the problem is - the change made by the 14th Pope was during an extremely prosperous period, when he allocated funds for the renovation of the old city of the Holy City.

At that time, some people criticized him for his extravagance and waste.

But as time passed, people in later generations enjoyed the benefits of advanced cities, and naturally began to praise the pope.

He mentioned this, originally just wanting to use this question to relieve Ronald's anxious look.

I never expected to get such an answer!

The blurry eyes under the gray robe were quietly locked on Ronald.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the figure spoke leisurely:

"He keeps avoiding direct answers, but he has quite insightful opinions and has excellent speaking skills..."

"Who are you exactly?"
