...Chapter 194 A Door and a Window
Although it is late at night, Taji City Cathedral is still as bright as the day. The magic stone inlaid on the ceiling exudes a soft light, reflecting each other with the candlelight lit in front of the cross, filling the whole church with a breath of sacredness and light.
The white cross that represents the will of God is quietly erected on the altar of the church. God does not need a statue, only this sign is enough to declare his uniqueness.
"Good evening, are you here to pray?" A young man in a trainee robe came to Ulysses with a cross in his hand. He looked like he was only fifteen or six years old, but his expression was Unusual piety, obviously taking serving God in church as his honor.
From him, Ulysses vaguely saw the shadow of Joshua. Judging from his age, he should be a new priest apprentice who came to work in this church not long after he was baptized.
Looking at Ulysses looking at him all the time, the teenager apprentice priest quietly checked his dress and etiquette with some anxiety, for fear of discrediting the church. For him who grew up in a church orphanage, it was his life's dream to be able to work in such a large church as a trainee priest like this.
Although he is not enough to take the priest exam whether it is light magic level or knowledge learning, he also has the dream of becoming an official priest and has been working hard for it. In addition to the necessary examinations, regular assessments are also indispensable for probationary priests to be promoted to official priests.
Actually, many apprentice priests are only apprentice priests all their lives, and it's already amazing to be able to mix with priests as an adjunct to the death. Those who can pass the priest examination are all elites.
The difficulty of the examination for church priests is well-known on the whole continent. Although the subjects of the exam are mainly based on theology and its branches, it is impossible to pass without sufficient knowledge and the ability to read a wide range of books.
That's why the average age of priests is so low, and it can be said to be the oldest in all occupations. When it comes to priests, most people think of kind old people with white beards and over fifty years of age.
Of course, it’s not uncommon for people to pass the exam at a very young age, but they are all geniuses. Such geniuses will have outstanding achievements no matter what profession they choose. Therefore, at this age, those who choose the profession of priest are instead. Not many. Most nobles who wish to increase the prestige of the family will do this kind of thing.
There is a priest in the family, and for the nobles, that even has more face than a higher rank. Even if you are the grand duke of a country, but if you do not have a priest in your family, your status in aristocratic society is not as good as that of the next-level aristocracy with current priests.
In this regard, the Ana family is the undisputed first family on the mainland, and the legendary family that has produced the most popes and cardinals in history. Even if the Ana family is worrying about the immediate heirs, it has not shaken the throne of his first family.
This family of origins of the supreme religion has already developed countless branches through marriages over the course of thousands of years. It is said that out of every ten priests in the mainland, at least three will trace their genealogy to the Ana family. There is no dispute about the strongest family of priests.
The founder of the Supreme God’s Cross, the most dazzling gem on the throne of the Church, and the family blessed by God—the Ana family has so much glory. No one would have thought that this generation, this rich priest The direct bloodline of his family has reached a precarious point.
In fact, it can be said to be desperate, because in this generation, the entire Ana family has no male heirs, and the new direct line is all girls.
However, God closed a door, and a window was bound to remain. When the elders of the Ana family couldn't sleep for this, the savior appeared.
Now, the savior who has touched the hearts of the entire Ana family is in the cathedral of Taguig City, preparing to apply for the priest exam.
"I'm here to sign up for the priest exam." There is no nervousness during the first time, no anxiety during the second time, and no desperate gambling spirit in the third time. I came to this church for the fourth time for priesthood. Ulysses, who registered for the exam, smiled very gently, so that the apprentice priest boy opposite him also felt relieved.
"Ah, you are the ancestors who have come to take the exam. Welcome to the Taji City Church." The apprentice priest drew a cross on his chest and looked at Ulysses in front of him with some excitement.
The registration for the priest exam this year has been going on for a while, but most of the people who come to the exam have come to sign up together. It was the first time he saw him, like Ulysses, who came to sign up alone at night.
Although he was a priest trainee, he himself knew that he was still far away from the priest examination. Those difficult and obscure examination questions were not prepared for a rookie like him from the beginning.
So seeing Ulysses who was only a few years older than himself, he felt extra cordial.
"You are new here, I have signed up here for the fourth time." Ulysses smiled and looked at the somewhat excited young priest apprentice. This time he planned to sign up quietly, so he didn't encounter Acquaintances are really lucky.
"The fourth time! Senior, you actually took the priest exam so early, so great!" After knowing Ulysses' brilliant record, the young priest who had never participated was really surprised.
"I failed the first three times. It's nothing great." Ulysses smiled as though he laughed at himself. Now that I think of it, he was really a little bit dared to register for the priest exam after gnawing a few books on the priesthood for the first time. Not afraid of death.
The difficulty of the priest's examination is only now that he understands how terrible it is. It is by no means a difficulty that ordinary young people can pass. He still gained the power of the devil, and his thinking and memory skills were greatly improved. After reading countless precious theological books in the Ana family's large library, he slowly understood the problems that he could not answer in the past.
In this process, both Yuffi's mother and Noah have given him considerable help. In theology, they are his well-deserved teachers.
It can be said that without the large library of the Ana family, without the excellent learning environment of the Guanghui Academy, even if he became the devil, he would not be able to pass the priest exam. That not only requires a huge accumulation of knowledge, but also requires a full range of knowledge mastery.
It’s no wonder that the general age of priests is so old, and the supply exceeds demand. Just because the knowledge and abilities he needs to master far exceed those of other professions, this is a profession that only those with wisdom and knowledge can do.
In contrast, the part of divine art is not so important, and ordinary priests do not use combat divine art at all. If there is a situation that needs to fight, the church will naturally be armed to take action, and the Paladins will exist for this reason.
"It's already amazing. I don't even dare to go to the exam. Those questions are too difficult." The young priest apprentice still remembers the shock when he and his companions secretly looked for the priest examination papers in the previous years.
Those questions, those that require detailed information and large paragraphs of text to answer, are almost the same as the heavenly books for those apprentice priests who have just completed their enlightenment education.
The questions of the priest examination are never repeated, and the difficulty is amazing every year, and the answers are not sticking to one pattern. If you want to get a high score, you must have a real understanding and research on those esoteric issues. It is best to have your own opinions. It is recognized by the mainland as the most difficult theoretical examination.
In the eyes of the young priest trainee, Ulysses’s three failures in the rankings are simply a matter of course. People at this age who can pass the exam may not be able to produce one in ten years.
"Yes, it's really difficult." Now Ulysses is more aware of the difficulty of the priest exam. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Now I think back to him in the priest exam. The more you can understand that he failed these three exams as a matter of course.
He also saw many omissions in the answers released after each exam. Obviously, that is really just the simplest standard answer. If you want to get a better score, it is not enough to just give that degree of answer.
This time, he didn't allow himself to fail again, even just passing. He wants to get the best score and use the best performance to complete his dream, the dream of a teenager who had stayed in Taji City for three years and thought he would stay longer.
"Then, I will be responsible for accepting the registration." The apprentice priest took Ulysses to the side of the altar, and then took out a notebook from the holy cabinet.
The above records are the names of candidates who took the priest exam in Taguig City this year. This is a very sacred thing, so every exam is very serious, not only to verify the identity of the candidate, but also to check the candidate’s identity. All the information is recorded to ensure that no one will take the test.
"First name."
"Ulysses."
"Where did you come from?"
"Mila Village."
"Light magic level."
"Level Six."
With a sound of "pop!", the trainee priest boy's pen fell to the ground, but he didn't notice it at all, because he was staring at Ulysses in front of him in a daze, and finally noticed the black demon he was wearing. The wizard's level mark that cannot be forged, unique to the wizard's guild, is on the robe of the wizard.
It was indeed Tier 6, and it was an official Tier 6 Light Sorcerer notarized by the Wizards’ Guild. The power of the divine arts comes from the bright side, so the sixth-level light wizards only need to pass the priest exam and then go through the religious rituals, and they can immediately be transferred to the sixth-level priest.
Oh my god, that's the level of a great priest! Enough to grasp the highest theocracy of a country and crown the king. In many small countries, the great priests are only around the fifth level. The sixth-level great priests need to be respected even for the seventh-level strong, because that represents the supreme power of the church and is the basis for entering the highest level of the church.
