Chapter 466 You are disintegrating the foundation of the kingdom!

   Right in the land of the dead? !

  Alves' brain was stunned for a moment, and he almost lost his footing and hit the altar behind him.

   "Your Pope?!" the archbishop shouted in horror.

   Pope Alves stretched out his hand to stop the archbishop's support, and then spoke in a trembling tone. "Give me a spell to contact Tesis immediately, and let him leave the land of death, immediately!"

   "But... but Lord Tesis went in an hour ago... I'm afraid it's already..." the archbishop stammered.

  In fact, when they received the news, they immediately used communication magic, but they didn't get any response.

   Ninety-ninety percent of the entire army has been wiped out under the attack of doomsday spells!

  Alves obviously understood this, and his face became extremely ugly.

   "Monroe..." Alves growled, and then he realized that this church spy who was selected by Gustav and appointed by himself must have betrayed him!

   What food wars, volcanic eruptions are all farts!

   This is clearly a conspiracy planned by the wizard!

  I foolishly believed it!

   Even wrote twice in a row!

  A strong sense of humiliation flooded Alves' mind.

  Before, Monroe was just a small adjutant of the God's Punishment Army. Being able to take on this important task is enough to prove his trust and fancy to him. The other party not only failed this trust, but also dared to play him again and again!

  Alves' chest rose and fell, and his eyes were full of anger and killing intent.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the other party is now in the City of Fire Oil, under the protection of the wizards, Alves would have wished to have his bones pulled out, his soul drawn out, and thrown into the Infernal Purgatory!

   "It may not be Monroe, maybe he has been captured by the wizards..." Saint Randall suddenly proposed an idea.

  According to Gustav's advice, Monroe is a warrior with a firm belief and an exceptionally devout believer. It should be impossible for him to be rebelled in just two months.

   It is also possible that the spies they sent in the past were captured by those wizards, and the images seen before may also be disguised.

  The camouflage ability of those shaping wizards is not weak. It is not impossible to hide the appearance of Monroe by using shaping magic at a distance of hundreds of miles.

  Alves sneered. There were not a few spies he sent in the City of Fire Oil, and they would report to him on the internal situation every other week.

  Monroe has been staying well at the Wizarding Academy for the past two months, and he travels very regularly. He definitely does not look like he is being coerced or captured.

   It can only be said that I misread it!

   Fortunately, he had considered the possibility of traitors inside before, so he divided the spies sent to the kingdom into several systems that would not interfere with each other. Even if there was a problem in one aspect, it would not kill everyone.

  However, the entire elite army of 20,000 empires was sent to heaven just because of their credulity...

  Thinking of this, Alves felt heartbroken!

  The most important thing is that those wizards once again used the doomsday spell to overthrow all their previous guesses, just like a sharp sword hanging in everyone's heart.

  Just as Alves was thinking hard about the countermeasures, his expression suddenly became serious as if he had sensed something.

   Randall on the side is no exception.

   It was the Lord who sent the oracle!

  …

The impact of the hydrogen explosion lasted for three full days and failed to subside completely. Just as Lynn expected before, the kingdom’s opposition that emerged due to the previous food war seemed to be silenced for an instant. Even The law and order in each town has improved a lot.

  No one dares to jump out at this time to meet the fate of the council...

   On the afternoon of the third day, the wizard council once again announced a big news, that is, various cities in the kingdom will hold a grand exam!

  As long as you know two hundred common languages ​​and are literate, you can participate, and the council will select managers from each city.

  For this point, Lynn needs to thank the church for its rule over the mainland for hundreds of years. Although the language families in various places are different, they have basically been unified in terms of writing, saving them a lot of trouble.

  When such a heavy news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in the kingdom. The selection of officials from various places through the so-called examination was almost unheard of in the centuries-old history of the empire.

  And the parliament did not restrict the origin of the test takers, only the two basic requirements of being proficient in writing and being able to speak the common language.

   This means that even the heirs of poor families have the opportunity to pass the exam and become the local lord in one step, but they have a different name in the wizard's land—called the mayor!

  Although it cannot be hereditary, and it still has a term of office, if you don't do well, you have to leave, but it still makes countless people excited!

   After all, he owns the management rights of the entire city, isn't that the former nobleman?

  Susan looked at the big notice posted on the wall, and couldn't help but fantasize in her heart.

  My two children are both in Minmin College, and it is said that their grades are very good.

In the past, Susan only thought that her children would be able to enter the research workshops of wizards and adults after graduating from the Civilian Academy. It was at least much easier than being in the glass and musket workshops with her husband, but now it is Let her see a new path.

   Mayor or something, Susan didn't even dare to think about it, but it is still possible to become a township or town mayor!

   "You are disintegrating the foundation of the kingdom!"

  A count of the kingdom looked at the black and white words on the bulletin board, and almost couldn't catch his breath, and shouted in collapse.

  He understands that from now on, noble lords who are bound by blood have become a thing of the past!

There are not a few nobles in the kingdom who can feel the threat like him, but those big nobles who are not very smart have basically been cleaned up in this food war, and most of the rest are standing in extreme lines. Quick, the new nobles with great adaptability!

   Isn’t it just an exam, their knowledge and management experience are far superior to ordinary poor people, if they can’t win the exam, then they should blow glass in the workshop!

   Many people even regard it as a shortcut to revive the family and ascend to the pinnacle of power!

   It took only half a day for the announcement to be made, and there was an endless stream of applicants, which soon exceeded tens of thousands. Even many wizards were a little excited, and they were more willing to enjoy the wine called rights than the boring magic learning.

   Monroe, who has been decadent for several days, also sees a glimmer of hope again. If he can pass this so-called assessment and become the manager of a certain kingdom, he might be able to make up for it by working hard from within!

   Otherwise, don't bother?

  Ivana hesitated to speak, sometimes she couldn't figure out what this colleague was thinking, let alone which side he was on...

  But under Monroe's repeated insistence, the two still signed up. Although Ivana didn't have any hope, she also developed a little interest.

The exam time was set on September 1st, which was also the time when the nuclear fusion reactor was completed. Lynn wanted to use the cover of the exam to attract everyone's attention. After all, when this thing started It is the most dangerous time, a person who does not pay attention to the whole city will go to heaven!

Of course, the importance of this selection test is self-evident. It is related to the alternation of the old and the new order, and it cannot be sloppy at all. Lynn had to take some time to select some suitable public candidates from the brain database. The test questions are used as the content of the test.

  Several days passed quickly, and there was a wave of learning in the kingdom. All the published enlightenment books were sold out, and even roadside peddlers would read a few pages in their spare time.

  However, even if it is temporary, it cannot change the status quo of the per capita illiteracy of the kingdom's citizens.

Just being able to write 200 lingua franca, and reading a document verbatim, wiped out 99% of the people. In the end, there were probably less than 2,000 people in the entire Huoyou City who had Eligibility for the exam.

  Monroe was naturally among them. Before joining the God's Punishment Army, he was a baron of the empire after all, and this kind of entry-level test was naturally not difficult for him.

   After officially getting the exam paper, Monroe glanced nervously, and then relaxed.

   It doesn't seem too difficult...

  The entire examination paper is divided into two pages. Most of the questions on the front side test basic calculations and the ability to understand official documents, while most of the questions on the back side are practical questions...

  For example, this question.

  【Dachun is a devout believer in false gods. He refuses to cooperate with thought reform and has a strong sense of resistance. If you are a local affairs officer and govern this territory, how should you properly handle this matter? 】

   What else can I do, of course I want to grab it!

   Monroe sneered. He understood that the wizards must be testing his obedience to the council. For these pious believers who are loyal to the Lord, he must show as much disgust as he wants!

  After thinking for a while, Monroe decided to use his method of arresting wizards and believers of evil gods in the northern border of the empire, set them up as models, punish them in public, and curb this trend with severe punishments!

   Not only that, but also encourage each other to report each other locally, give high rewards, and catch everyone who disobeys the orders of the parliament!

  After finishing writing, Monroe nodded in satisfaction, and then lamented the brutal rule of the wizards, and he had to pretend to be a counselor for the other party.

  Ivana was also looking at the test question in front of her, but it was another question about food and poverty.

【Peter is a poor farmer. His ancestors have been cultivating wheat in the fields for generations, and he is unwilling to try any new things. Now that the price of wheat continues to drop, how can he let him rent out the land, enter a workshop, or buy a new type of farming machine to change the planting More economical crops to escape the poverty of the past? 】

  Iwena pondered for a long time, and soon began to answer on the test paper. The other party's stubborn temper, just persuasion is definitely not going to work, you can start with the other party's neighbors!

  If these people enter the workshop, the standard of living will improve visible to the naked eye, and then let them build a new house. With the contrast and gap, I don’t even need to waste my words, and the poor people who have been farming for generations will change on their own.

  If this is not enough, you can start with the family and change the other person's thinking step by step. Ivana believes that as long as the poor can see the real benefits, change will happen sooner or later.

  Similar things have happened countless times in the kingdom. Ivana chatted with many laborers in her spare time, so she naturally knows some strategies commonly used by the council.

  The rest of the topics are also very interesting, including how to solve neighborhood disputes, how to improve the living standards of the residents, and promote social stability.

There are a total of twelve questions on the back, and none of them are repeated. The last question surprised Ivana. It is about the conflict between wizards and poor people. As an official, she needs to choose to punish wizards according to the law or let them The poor swallow their anger and eliminate conflicts.

  Ivana wrote down every answer carefully and carefully, and gradually understood the significance of the examination to select magistrates. Those who can answer these questions and give satisfactory answers can handle government affairs with ease!

   The exam takes three hours in total, and every minute and every second is very precious. Even some seasoned and experienced noble children can hardly give perfect answers to these tricky questions...

  The most important thing is that they have to figure out what is the basis for the parliamentary question and what kind of answer they want to get.

   "The time has come, let's close the paper!" As a temporary examiner, the great wizard Allard glanced at the magic hourglass, and said indifferently.

  After the voice fell, the domain quietly activated, and the test papers in everyone's hands flew over spontaneously.

   The wailing sound in the examination room suddenly became one. Three hours is too short. The basic questions in front are not bad. As long as you can read and count, you can finish it in a short time.

  Many people need to think for more than half an hour just for one question, and it takes several minutes to write the conclusion on the test paper.

   Seeing the wailing sound in the examination room, Monroe became more confident. Fortunately, his hand speed was relatively fast, and he had already written everything in the first minute!

   "Everyone be quiet, there is one last test to be taken!" After Arad waved his hand to put away all the test papers, his eyes paused on Ivana and the others, and he spoke again.

   "All official wizards come with me! The rest of you stay here, and someone will be responsible for giving you questions later!"

Hearing this, the more than ten wizards present stood up one after another, showing complacency, and were not surprised. As their wizards, how could they take the same exam as these poor people and little nobles, and some special treatment? Couldn't be more normal...

  The rest of the poor have long been accustomed to this kind of inequality. Only a few nobles have some complaints and dare not speak out. After all, the kingdom is now dominated by wizards!

   "Master Allard, what is our test? Is it to measure the level of wizards?" A wizard asked fawningly after going out.

He guessed that the council might allocate positions according to their level of wizards, and he had inquired about it a long time ago. At least there were no great wizards in the city of fire oil to participate in this exam. Competent for the position of lord.

  Allard glanced at him, but did not reply. After leading several people into a room, he took out five exquisite rings from his backhand.

   "Here are your test papers, put them on, you five come first!" Arad clicked around casually, and Monroe and Ivana were among the people he clicked on!
