According to the usual practice, the test officer invited for the exorcism test is an official organization member outside the church, and the person who tries to invite Su Xiaoyi is the one who is invited. At this time, in addition to Inspector Owen, there is also a Western Continent literary giant and a Yi Zhong who have been given honorary positions.
A mentor who guides the school of thought.
Based on the lottery results of the 12 candidates, 3 examiners will take turns to examine 4 of them.
But just now Tukwell gave Fanning a warning and revealed some information about Irving's mysterious abilities.
He said that since Mr. Wax was involved in the background investigation, as long as he was willing, under the influence of the invisible power of his "evolution" phase, he would most likely draw Irving.
Because of this card-based drawing, President MacAdam, who passed through the "Gate of Coincidence", has similar interference capabilities, not to mention a higher-ranking Order Enforcer with divinity.
There are differences between different authorities. The saint's head-to-head confrontation strength far exceeds that of Mr. Wax, but he does not hold the authority in this field and is unable to interfere without leaving a trace at this level.
Of course, when he first saw that "Mass in B minor" had replaced the original program and was brilliant during the actual performance, Tucqueville first thought about it himself and secretly sent a messenger to the Pope on the stage, suggesting that
It would be better to cancel Lavoisier's "exorcism test" to avoid confronting Irving and exposing some possible extraneous risks to the public eye.
Anyway, judging from Lebic's performance in arresting people before, Lavoisier's high-ranking strength is only high, and his fame will naturally reach the top after the mass ceremony, so that he will not be unable to determine the position of a priest.
But the Pope is thinking long-term and comprehensively.
"Exorcism" is a church tradition.
Since we must pay attention to the promotion of a clergy, we must try to avoid leaving omissions and flaws in all aspects of his resume.
Cancellation at the last moment will be counterproductive and make people suspicious. Furthermore, if after a long time, doubts and criticisms will leak out from a few people and spread in the market, destroying perfection and reducing sacredness, it is not worth it.
So, go ahead when it's time to go, with so many pairs of eyes watching, even if Mr. Wax manipulates the lottery, he, Owen, the inspector general, won't be able to do anything to a knowledgeable person.
"Father Lavoisier composed this magnificent Mass in B minor, which will surely shine in the exorcism test."
Owen smiled in praise.
The other two examiners also nodded in approval, but they may not have the same thoughts as the former.
Fan Ning seemed to be looking towards Irving, but in fact his eyes did not fall on him. Instead, he spoke to the Pope who was further behind:
"He who reveals the deep and secret knows what is in the darkness, and the light also dwells with him. His Majesty the Nineteenth King of Janingo does not need to send me to perform exorcisms, because now that the matter is completed, it is the time when spirituality is dazzling.
The sun and heat must not harm our guests.”
Tukweil said that there is a "9 out of 10" chance that he will draw Owen, which means "a 11 out of 12" chance that he will draw the other two examiners.
It's better to give a tactful reminder. If something hurts the harmony, no one wants to do it.
Before the Pope could answer, a funny smile appeared on Owen's lips.
Good guy, this is the first time he has seen a would-be priest seriously reminding the disciples to "be careful of getting hurt".
This thing is a bit outrageous.
"There is nothing to worry about Mr. Lavoisier," the Pope also said warmly, "but just use your invisible power, just like giving full play to your creative inspiration."
“The Pope’s words come first.”
Fan Ning listened humbly to the order and without wasting any more time, he steadily climbed up the two-meter-high inclined triangular ladder for the spectators to see clearly, and reached into the topaz-polished stone box.
His fingertips touched the hard cards one after another. After moving a few times, he vaguely felt some kind of gathering and dispersion, and chaotic and invisible fluctuations affected his astral body to make choices.
There is no coercion, but there is interference everywhere.
But if I taste it carefully, it seems that there is no such thing. It is an illusion caused by Tucqueville's "preconceived" reminder.
Fan Ning did not further inspire his spirituality to find out.
He directly clamped a hard card and lifted his wrist out.
I don’t know whether I should say “sure enough” or whether the probability of 4/12 or 1/3 is “just right”.
Anyway, the name painted in orange dye is really "Owen Davis".
"It turns out to be Mr. Irving, so don't worry." Fan Ning said with a kind face, "It was just right."
"Whoever teaches a lot about 'Jin' will be tired, strife, and troubled. Later, when he is bathed in the sun, peace and rest will come to him."
This thing is indeed quite outrageous. Upon hearing this, Owen's expression changed from funny to joking.
At the moment, he was too lazy to repeat the mistake of being "dazzled" and try to analyze and figure out whether Lavoisier had something in his words, a secret provocation, or just a habit of preaching.
Anyway, it's just a matter of waiting for a minute or two.
In fact, Mr. Wax has just announced that the result of the back test was passed. This exorcism test was conducted in public, and Miss Roy was watching from below. He bullied the subordinates of the discussion group member units too hard, and it was meaningless.
However, this Lavoisier has become the focus of the Special Inspection Office. Once there is a confrontation, he can always be forced to reveal some information that he may not be able to obtain on ordinary days.
The rules for exorcism test competition restrictions are very simple. In order to maintain a certain degree of "comparability", the test officer cannot use the secret technique of riding a chariot to descend into the chariot. In addition, there are no restrictions on the ritual tools, curse seals and echoes used by both parties.
However, according to the actual practice, the test officials themselves will not bring out the repercussions, only the prospective priests will go to sleep in advance and make complete preparations.
For those who understand the dawn, if they do not descend into the chariot, their strength will only remain about 20%, and the ritual seals of high-ranking people cannot be effectively activated. However, the essential changes in spirituality alone are enough to dominate when facing high-ranking people.
Absolute advantage.
Others also drew lots one after another. Judging from their expressions, the one who drew Irving's name was indeed a little more nervous.
Facing a test officer from the Special Inspection Department, the psychological pressure must be even greater.
Fan Ning was the first to step into the central area of the sacrament altar.
"When test officers compete continuously, spiritual consumption is inevitable. The first one faces greater pressure."
"But Father Lavoisier is the first candidate, but he has to stand in the front. I don't know if he can meet the excellent standard of persisting for 100 seconds."
"With his skills, he will definitely perform the best among the candidates. He just wants to make the link perfect, so he has to come up and show it."
The spectators below thought secretly.
There was an uneasy silence in the square. The rest of the people retreated to the edge of the altar, and the four spiritual walls closed into a rectangle with the cooperation of the external clergy.
The original meaning of the exorcism test is to deliberately arrange for would-be priests to have opponents of a completely higher level, as a metaphor to test whether they can "firm their faith and bravely exorcise demons when encountering powerful demons."
The comprehensive performance of prospective priests when facing the examiner and the time they persist in not being expelled from the spiritual wall will be used as one of the references for whether to be ordained.
Therefore, Owen followed the custom of doing as the Romans do when visiting a country, and put on a scarlet robe decorated with teeth and claws to show that he was playing the "devil".
Everyone saw him raising an ancient dark yellow-green short-barreled firearm towards Fan Ning.
