Fang Heng bowed slightly, followed the paladin's instructions, and stood next to the paladin.
Then, the remaining participants in the divine selection raised their scepters to select those believers with divine talents among the crowd.
One by one, believers walked out of the crowd, stood up and lined up next to Fang Heng.
Slowly, Sanjie couldn't help but frown.
He found that the number of believers selected this time was much larger than before.
All the believers who were chosen were surprised.
Until the selection phase was about to end, a judge pointed his scepter at Imammu.
"You, get out of the queue."
Imamu was startled, looked around and found that there was no one else around.
"Me! It's really me!"
After finding out that he had been selected, Imamu was greatly surprised. He quickly raised his arms and waved vigorously, and then walked forward together, ranking at the end of the queue.
In the past, only three believers would be selected at most on God's Election Day, and sometimes no one would pass the primary election.
It's different today. There are an exceptionally large number of people who passed the primary election. A rough estimate is that about 60 people were selected.
"Today's ceremony and pilgrimage on God's Choice Day are over. The chosen ones will follow me to participate in the second round of trials. The rest should disperse."
Sanjie said as he nodded to the paladins beside him, raised his scepter and walked towards the cathedral.
The believers who gathered in the square outside the temple finished their prayers, stood up one after another, and walked slowly away along the exit of the mountain.
Mo Jiawei and Zhuo Lingfang were not selected. They hesitated for a moment and saw that the Paladins in the square had begun to clear the place, so they had to exit the square with the dispersed crowd.
Fang Heng, Imamu and the other selected believers followed the Holy Tribunal judges into the cathedral.
The holy light shines in the cathedral hall, and the golden hall has a gloomy atmosphere. Even though it is already dark, the sunlight transformed by the holy light still shines through the high crystal glass, illuminating the entire empty hall.
"Believers, please follow me."
Sanjie led everyone slowly forward along the hall passage.
Fang Heng followed the team down the stairs and arrived at an empty rotunda at the end of the underground floor of the cathedral.
The hall is spacious and bright, with a tall round crystal pillar in the center, and the surrounding walls are uneven. If you look carefully, you can see that there are partial reliefs carved on the walls.
Along the wall, there are many wooden boxes leaning quietly.
Following the paladin into the hall and standing there, Fang Heng felt a sense of tranquility and peace rising from the bottom of his heart.
The game prompt appears again.
[Tip: The player enters the special area-Piety Hall, and the player is affected by the special effect-Tranquility].
Divine magic has its own special features and can affect people's minds.
Sanjay stood in front of the crystal pillar in the center of the hall, slowly opened his hands forward, and said with a pious face, "Believers, let go of your wariness, accept the trial given to you by God, show your strength and wisdom, and then accept it.
It’s a gift from God.”
Trial?
Fang Heng's heart moved, and he looked at Imam, who was also standing in the crowd of believers, with questioning eyes.
Imamu also had a look of astonishment on his face, as it seemed that this was his first time encountering such a so-called trial.
Fang Heng was thinking about it, and Judge Sanjie had already led all the holy knights out of the hall every year.
For a time, only the sixty-odd believers who had just been selected were left in the entire hall.
"Boom!!"
The door was closed heavily, and a dark golden light appeared above the door.
As soon as Sanjie walked out of the hall, two members of the Holy Court hurriedly walked up and whispered a few words in Sanjie's ear.
"Judge, we have investigated and found that the believer you are concerned about is an outsider who came with Imam to participate in the pilgrimage. We are sure that we have never seen this person before. He just escaped from outside and came to the Holy City today.
We have inquired about the refugee, and his name is Fang Shuo."
"Imamu..."
Sanjay murmured to himself.
He knows this person Imammu.
"What's Fang Shuo's strength level? Has it been certified by the Holy Court Church?"
"Judge, we haven't found anything yet. We are checking the registration information of all Holy Courts in recent years. We are short of manpower. It will take a while to check them all." The Paladin nodded and continued: "In addition, he also brought two
Companions, we have asked people to follow them and monitor them, do we need to detain them?"
"No need, continue to follow and wait for follow-up review."
"yes!"
The two paladins hugged their fists and returned in a hurry.
Kadar, another Holy Tribunal judge accompanying him, listened to the entire conversation between the two and felt that Sanjay was making a fuss out of a molehill. He couldn't help asking: "Sanjay, in the past, the review was carried out within a month after the divine selection ceremony was completed.
, are you suspicious of him in such a hurry this time? "
Sanjay was still thinking about something and hummed slightly, "Well... investigation is necessary, and every selected believer needs to undergo necessary screening."
Kadar frowned and continued: "You saw it just now, right? The believer's divine affinity can only be described as 'terrible'. If he has not received any divine training, it is right to directly let him take the advanced assessment."
Isn’t it too dangerous? It’s not a good thing to plunder the seedlings and encourage them to grow.”
Sanjie narrowed his eyes, raised his head and said, "Kadar, I understand your concerns, but right now there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the Holy City. Fang Shuo's appearance is a bit too coincidental, and my intuition makes me feel bad."
"The Holy Court is already on the most dangerous edge. If we are not careful, we will be the sinners who will completely push the Holy Court into the abyss. I have to be even more careful."
"Well, I understand." Kadar nodded and said, "You want to force him to see if he is hiding something."
"That's right, let's go to the side of the prism to see how they perform." Sanjie said and walked forward, "I hope it's just me overthinking."
…
In the pious hall, until all the judges left, there were only more than sixty Holy Court believers who had just been selected.
The believers present were entering the cathedral for the first time, and they didn't know what the so-called assessment was, so they all looked around curiously.
More believers stood stiffly and some did not dare to move.
The structure of the entire hall is a huge circle, and the huge crystal pillar in the center of the room is particularly eye-catching.
Fang Heng glanced at Shizhu a few more times.
At this time, Imamu approached Fang Heng.
"Brother, this is my first time here. According to the judge, we may have to face the trial of the Holy Court. Let's form a team and help each other as much as possible."
"Well, okay, are there any clues about the trial?"
"I don't know. By the way, those few people are from local gangs. They are not well-known, but they are a bit dirty in their work, but you need to be more vigilant and try not to conflict with them."
