Chapter 266: Lanqi Killed the Final Assessment

Caius's eyes switched between Lanqi and the statue.

Even the priests of their Resurrection Church knew that the goddess of fate would never make such an indecent gesture of raising the middle finger.

But the guy who carved this thing in front of him seemed to be scolding their Resurrection Church and the Nirvana Branch on behalf of the goddess!

Caius's fingers tapped the table lightly, making a "tap" sound, as if he was measuring or judging something.

Lanqi stood there calmly, with no expression on his face, only a smile flashing in his eyes.

Caius's eyebrows were tightly knitted, full of confusion, and complex emotions were extremely rare on his usually cold face.

It was not until he observed the young man up close that Caius was sure that this person was as abstract as his work, and it was completely impossible to tell whether he was simple-minded or bottomless.

After hesitating for a moment, Caius stared at the statue, and finally couldn't bear to discard it as an unqualified work and put it on the qualified side.

These qualified works belong to him.

Originally intended for internal display.

But now he decided to collect Lanqi's stone sculpture.

This young man will definitely become the most outstanding sculptor in the Protoss Empire.

By then, the value of this work will be immeasurable.

He was very sure that the young man's artistic attainments far exceeded his imagination, and his own talents were as excellent as the written test results.

"You are very good."

Caius praised, and he nodded slowly, "You passed."

Lanqi smiled slightly, he knew that Caius would not be willing to destroy this work.

Then he walked off the stage and returned to his seat, waiting for the end of the re-examination time.

Many qualified candidates looked at Lanqi for a while with different thoughts.

Some admired, some were jealous and greedy, and some, like Cid, did not show any thoughts in their hearts, but simply stared at Lanqi.

In the corner of the hall, the accumulated scraps were like a small hill.

The last submitter walked nervously to Caius, his hands trembling slightly, and the statue of the goddess of fate in his hand seemed to feel his nervousness.

If time hadn't run out, he wouldn't have submitted the half-finished product. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of pleading, hoping that Caius could see his thoughts clearly.

However, Caius' eyes didn't seem to like this kind of weakness. He stared coldly at the submitter, and then turned his gaze to the statue.

After a moment, he sighed and shook his head.

Then, two tall priests in heavy armor came forward and quickly grabbed the examinee's arms.

"My position is fine! Archbishop Caius!"

He struggled to beg for mercy but in vain. The last person was dragged out of the hall with screams.

As the heavy door leading to nowhere slowly closed, the clock also pointed to half an hour, which meant that half an hour had passed since the start of the exam.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the interview and re-examination. Regardless of whether you can pass the final assessment, you are eligible to become colleagues of the Nirvana branch. However, those who achieve excellent results in the final assessment will have the opportunity to obtain a rapid promotion opportunity directly given by the Nirvana Bishop."

Caius finally stood up, his eyes swept across the faces of each candidate, and said.

His voice was a little calmer than before, but still intimidating.

The candidates looked at Caius, waiting for him to announce the content of the final assessment.

They knew that the final assessment was the highlight.

Compared to becoming a new priest who can only get the white ordinary [Certificate of Resurrection-Nirvana], they hope to be quickly promoted to elite priests and high priests, be favored by the Nirvana Bishop, become a direct soldier, and even go further in the future.

"The final assessment showed me your value, and this value is the best feedback of your comprehensive strength."

Caius raised his palm and pointed to the people in the audience.

"In one day, you can challenge any priest in any branch of Nirvana who holds the blue precious or above [Certificate of Resurrection-Nirvana]. You can use strategies and any means without violating the law. I want to see how much trouble your strategies can cause to them."

This is a process of adapting to the current situation and policies.

It can also select the talents they need most in the election process of the bishops of the Protos Empire.

If in the environment of the Protos Empire, even the existing elite priests can't cope with it, then it can only be said that they are not the talents they urgently need to find.

"But you must also carefully choose your opponents and be prepared to be killed."

In the hall, when Caius' voice faded, his figure gradually disappeared behind the corridor inside the hall.

At the same time, the main door of the hall opened again, as if to indicate that the group of candidates could leave, or to start the formal final assessment.

They will have 24 hours to choose and investigate opponents, and set up, implement, and complete the plan.

"..."

In the hall, the candles on the candlesticks flickered, casting the shadows of the candidates on the cold stone wall murals, forming twisted black shadows, as if the devil was about to break free.

Each crystal on the iron ceiling reflected a faint light, reflecting their different expressions.

While thinking about Caius' words.

Gradually, candidates began to look at each other. There was no communication between them, but there was a clear understanding in their eyes.

After understanding the rules, they soon understood the most critical thing-

Compared to the competitive relationship, candidates can cooperate with each other.

Together they can take on one elite priest and then move on to take on another elite priest.

Perhaps this is what Caius hopes to convey. The Nirvana Branch is an organization that values ​​cooperation in hunting enemies.

However.

As one of the more high-profile candidates among the candidates, Lan Qi stood up, stretched hard, and then leisurely turned around and walked out of the hall door.

Doesn't seem to want to work with anyone at all.

"Is this guy so proud?"

"I originally wanted to call him and try with a few more people to see if we can deal with a high priest."

In the subtle voice, Lan Qi's back slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The only one who was the same as him was West Germany. She didn't take anyone seriously and left the hall alone.

…

The temple architecture of the Knights of Annihilation is majestic and mysterious, with its towering spiers and frost-covered walls shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Lan Qi walked out of the main entrance door of the Knights of Annihilation, facing the deserted town streets.

The cold wind was still blowing in waves.

He walked into the middle of the road, and the sun slanted down from his left side, making his shadow extend straight to the right of the road.

The town's stone roads gradually extended from the door of the Temple of the Knights of Annihilation, and the low buildings on both sides of the road were covered with white frost.

After leisurely turning a few corners, the little black cat in Lan Qi's shadow jumped out again and got into his arms.

"Meow meow meow! Lan Qi! You can't get rid of the Nirvana branch now even if you want to!"

Boss Cat was so frightened in the examination room that he almost couldn't walk out.

This organization, even if it is not allowed to pass, will destroy people!

At this point, Lanci had to complete the third round no matter what.

"You've come here, you must pass the exam."

Lan Qi's footsteps did not stop, and he gently touched the little black cat's head and said.

His posture seemed calm and unhurried, and his steps were like walking on a soft carpet. In the wind, the tips of his hair gently touched his white shirt, making the trim of the vest faintly visible. He left the Knights of Annihilation and when he came. The same, as if emerging from the mud but not stained.

He has clear goals and seems confident in the face of the upcoming assessment.

"You...then which elite priest are you going to deal with? What are you going to do in the final test?"

From Boss Cat's point of view, Lan Qi is not the type who would harm others.

He has always been upright and open-minded in his work. In fact, if he insists on speaking, he is more like the behavior of the priests of the Batian branch.

The two of them cooperated, and it was not difficult to subdue an elite priest with force, but when it came to conspiracy, it had no idea what Lan Qi would do.

"It's over."

Lan Qi said with a smile.

Cat boss: "???"

…

That night, the Protos Empire received a real-name report - Caius, the great priest of the Annihilation branch, secretly hid the artistic statue of the Goddess of Destiny. The amount of money involved in the case was huge, and he was suspected to be a cultist of the Goddess of Destiny who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Church of Resurrection. His faith was not firm. Immodest.

Although the Annihilation branch held a press conference to clarify the matter as soon as possible, after the Tyrant branch and the Mourning branch seized the opportunity to unanimously condemn and suppress it, the Annihilation branch had no choice but to investigate the matter thoroughly and prosecuted Archpriest Caius. Dismissal.

I wrote more than 10,000 words and burned them out in the evening
