Chapter 265: Lanqi's Black and White Duality

The atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it could almost be cut.

Caius sat on the high main seat, staring coldly at the candidates in the distance.

The dark gray heavy armored priest beside him held his breath, as if the air in the entire hall was frozen.

In less than a minute, a villain took the lead in submitting his disrespectful work to the Goddess of Destiny to the Grand Priest Caius.

"Grand Priest Caius, I'm done."

The submitter presented the stone statue of the Goddess of Destiny that was hammered to pieces, with a confident smile on his face.

However.

Caius just glanced at it coldly.

Then he shook his head.

"Just destruction, the degree of insult is too low."

The villain's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to say something to defend himself.

But Caius made a gesture, and the dark gray heavy armored priest next to him immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm tightly, and dragged him to the deep passage of the hall.

The villain's face was full of fear and disbelief. He shouted, "I am loyal to the Resurrection Church! I have not betrayed!"

No one responded, and his shouts echoed in the empty hall until they disappeared.

Other candidates felt a chill when they saw this scene.

"This perfunctory work cannot prove your loyalty to me very well. Once you are not loyal enough, you will be seriously suspected of being a member of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. We will detain you for observation."

After Caius finished speaking, he held his chin with one hand again and stopped talking.

Some villains immediately began to revise their works nervously, fearing that they would also be considered unqualified.

At this time, some people in the audience also figured it out.

In fact, Caius would not easily let anyone who passed the written test go to the Tyrant Branch regardless of whether the candidate was really suspected of being a member of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

To take everyone present, this was his real purpose.

I thought no one would submit their works immediately.

It took less than ten seconds.

A tall woman in a silver skirt armor stood up and walked straight to Caius on the high platform.

A six-sided cube with clear edges and corners was placed on the table.

"..."

This made Caius stunned for a while.

He didn't expect that the most suspicious Sid would be so straightforward.

She just restored the statue of the goddess of fate to the most ordinary stone.

A stone block, I don't know whether she used unique magic or simple skills to make it.

"Decisive and quick, you pass."

After thinking about it, Caius placed the stone block on the left side of the table.

Not discarding the candidate's work as before, but accepting it, is the proof of passing.

Caius's original suspicion that she might be an undercover of the Church of the Goddess of Fate has actually become deeper now.

But if she is really an undercover, he is more interested in recruiting her to play with her and let her experience what it means to be unable to fly and extreme despair.

Many people in the audience looked up slightly and observed.

In fact, in their opinion, the work of this woman in silver skirt armor is at a level where it is possible to pass or fail.

But perhaps it was because of her tough and decisive attitude that Caius made the decision to let her pass.

Then, Sid returned to his original seat, with his hands folded and eyes closed, as indifferent as ever, waiting for the final review to be announced in more than 20 minutes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Next, gradually, villains finished their works and came forward to submit.

Redol, who was quite famous among the group, walked forward slowly, his red hair fluttering in the wind, looking like a burning flame, and placed his completed stone statue of the goddess of fate in front of Caius. He burned the stone statue with flames and roasted it black, turning it into an ugly charred corpse that was about to lose its human form and was ravaged.

Caius watched for a while, nodded, put the work on the table, and signaled him to leave.

Redol, the imitator of the Bishop of Destruction, smiled confidently and looked back, obviously he also felt that his work met the requirements.

However, the next few submitters were not so lucky.

Their works were considered unqualified by Caius, and were thrown directly into the garbage heap. They were also taken away by the priests in dark gray heavy armor, which caused panic among many candidates.

Almost every submitter would shout "I am loyal to the Resurrection Church! Why?" when they were caught by the priests in dark gray heavy armor.

But Caius seemed to be indifferent to this, and just looked at the next submitter indifferently.

Until [Meat Scum] Graf walked up solemnly, his huge body seemed to make the whole platform look small.

He put down the dismembered statue of the goddess of fate, just like he usually handled humans, Caius could even see slight bloodstains on it.

Caius was silent for a moment, "This work... is very good."

And then.

Several villains who were favored by him during the written test papers all submitted good answers. [Stinger] Walter carved the statue of the goddess of fate into a human figure who died miserably due to the taboo of living body transformation, and [Bloodthroat] Jia added music magic to the statue of the goddess of fate, turning her into an evil god struggling and wailing in hell.

[Eyeball Collector] Thors, who submitted his work after them, slowly approached and handed the transformed statue of the goddess of fate to Caius.

The eyes of the stone statue have been removed, and many small holes have been dug out of the body, and the eyes of strange animals that look like living tissue have been filled in from unknown sources. I don’t know what kind of magic has been added to it. When Caius looked at the stone statue, all the His eyes would also move together to meet Caius' gaze.

Even Caius felt a little disgusted and put it on the table as a qualified work.

As the candidates' works are gradually submitted, some candidates who have not yet completed the work feel more nervous because of the "artwork" of these submitters.

The gears of the big clock above the door kept ringing, and every turn represented the passage of the remaining time.

"There are still ten minutes left."

Caius's voice sounded cold and emotionless,

"If you are unable to complete it on time, you will be directly regarded as a member of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny."

His words blew through like a cold wind, lowering the temperature in the hall.

This kind of punishment and intimidation has undoubtedly greatly deterred other candidates who have not yet submitted, making them work harder.

Some of the candidates looked back at the clock, their eyes beginning to show nervousness and uneasiness, while some remained calm, as if they were very sure that their works would be recognized by Caius.

The qualified candidates for the final review sat there with no expression on their faces.

Just waiting for the last time to end and the final assessment to come.

There are fewer and fewer candidates who are still working. The tools and stone statues in their hands make a crisp sound, which is gradually unable to cover up the sound of the gears of the big clock.

Caius sat on the main seat, leaning slightly and holding his chin.

Although he did not set his sights on any candidate.

But among the remaining candidates, the only one he paid attention to was the young man named Rocky.

He felt that anyone who could make such a written test answer would hardly be suspected of being a clergy member of the Church of Destiny.

However, this re-examination is necessary, and each person's composition must be identified.

No matter how good his written test scores are, if his position and loyalty are not firm enough, he must be destroyed and cannot be used by anyone else.

finally.

In Caius's waiting.

Lan Qi finished his work. With a hint of satisfaction and a little tiredness in his eyes, he stood up and walked towards Caius.

He placed the piece before Caius.

It is a reshaped stone statue of the goddess of destiny.

Caius raised his head slightly, looked at Ranchi, and then turned to his work.

Then his eyes seemed to be fixed on the Statue of Destiny, and he was silent for a long time.

At the same time, because of the unusual silence caused by Caius's delay in giving an evaluation, some candidates gradually looked in the direction of Lanci's work.

The response from the young people who submitted their works was very indifferent.

On the contrary, it was his work that confused Caius.

After he carved the statue of the Goddess of Destiny, its posture was slightly changed, and it was reshaped into new movements, and it was extremely refined.

As if it were made by an unparalleled craftsman, the goddess' figure is vivid and full of warmth, as if she will move in the next second.

When other candidates saw Lanci's work, they couldn't help but be surprised by its artistry.

If they are all amateurs, this guy is definitely a professional among professionals. They have never even seen a sculptor of this level. Some even have greed in their eyes, trying their best to restrain the urge to snatch this statue. No matter what it is, it must be a priceless masterpiece!

But they soon noticed a problem with the transformed statue.

His expression also became similar to that of Caius.

I saw that the goddess statue, which was always full of divinity and quiet, had a slightly arrogant smile on her lips, and her posture changed to raising her hand with her index and middle fingers raised, making a V-shaped gesture with her palms facing inward.

There is quite a sense of contempt for all the villains here.

It stands to reason that portraying the goddess of destiny in such a dazzling and beautiful way should be directly judged as unqualified.

But Caius discovered a kind of duality in this guy——

He actually couldn't tell whether Rocky was praising the goddess or slandering her?
