Mo Yu sat in the corner of the hall, quietly staring at the hunchbacked old man sitting on the high platform at the center of the hall. The old man sat cross-legged on the platform, folding his hands together, pinching a piece of olive-shaped jade.

Now is the waiting before the selection of the high priests begins. Mo Yu looked at the crowd sitting in front of him, his thoughts fluttering.

That day the princess did not accept the name he gave, but fell into silence for a long time.

For this girl, although she wanted a name that belonged to her, the high priest's prophecy of the doomsday has always been deep in her heart. Although she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, she was actually afraid that she would bring disaster to the world because of her own reasons.

She didn't dare to have her own name, but she cared about Mo Yu's feelings sensitively, and she could only remain silent in the end.

In the end, Mo Yu just touched her head and looked at the starry sky with her with a smile.

"If you don't object, then I will decide that it's the name 'love'."

This is what Mo Yu said to her in the end. This sentence was a bit stupid, but the princess looked at Mo Yu's deep eyes and finally did not say anything against her.

Half a month passed in a flash.

The case of King Ping's rebellion is still under investigation. The cabinet ministers who had tried to force the princess to commit suicide were killed and directly killed the exiled. Mo Yu did not sympathize with them. He also contributed their first-hand criminal information to the Human Emperor to ensure that the Human Emperor was reasonable and well-founded and legal and compliant.

However, the investigation of King Ping himself was in a deadlock. The glass ball that sealed Molière's law was in the deepest part of the royal treasure house. Only the Human Emperor had the authority to open it. However, King Ping did not know what channel to obtain the seal container and reached an agreement with Molière in the container.

The secret technique of King Ping's fusion of Molière's law is also very strange, and I don't know where it comes from.

Not to mention that King Ping was killed, there were no clear clues in Shuiming’s treasures used to spy on memories.

Mo Yu didn't care about this. After he sent Mingyue to the city hall, he also signed her up for a night school, ensuring that the little girl had no time to free herself. After she had no time to free herself all day, she accompanied the princess to play around, and basically never asked about anything.

As half a month came, he came to this hall as a candidate for the high priest.

There is a strict promotion mechanism inside the Priests' Hall, from primary priests to intermediate priests to high priests, and then to the top high priests.

Among them, the promotion from primary priests to higher priests is based on their abilities and performance. As the person favored by the "God", the priests themselves will awaken some special abilities. Most of these abilities are related to healing, and they are the legendary nanny.

The extraordinary people of this era are not as distorted and mad as the extraordinary people at the time point in the world, so the extraordinary people of the nurse also exist. They can turn people into twisted and mad monsters as they are not able to use healing techniques.

Therefore, the rating of ordinary priests is also related to the priest's ability and how many people the priests saved and how many achievements they completed. The test time and effort can be achieved. However, when it comes to the high priest, it is completely different. The high priest is the spokesperson of God on earth, and is an existence that can communicate directly with God. It has a transcendent status in the entire Suiming Kingdom, and its authority is not different from the human emperor.

The selection of a high priest does not depend on your past qualifications, but on your affinity with God and whether you can get God's favor. No matter what level of priest you are, as long as your affinity is sufficient, you may become the next high priest.

However, because the selection process is complicated, a round of internal selection will be conducted in the Priest Hall in advance to screen out people with high affinity in advance. These selected "geniuses" will enter this hall and select the people with the highest affinity under the test of the artifact that can convey the will of God.

"How did this high priest-elect selection be carried out so early? The previous selection only began a thousand years after the new high priest took office. The high priest has only ascended the throne for more than seven hundred years..."

The two candidates in front of Mo Yu began to whisper.

"It's not good to be early? We will have a chance before we can. Ask yourself, can you live another two or three hundred years?"

"I'm just a little worried, this time it's a little abnormal."

"Actually, I tell you that there is an uncle in my family who is a high priest. Actually, it's...well... Come over..." The speaker's voice was much smaller, and he whispered in another person's ear, "It's now that the high priest is about to return to God's arms!"

"What?! How is it possible?! The high priest enjoys the blessings of God, and his life span is at least 1,350 years, and now it is only more than 700 years..."

"What's impossible? Let me tell you that the high priest now used some kind of secret technique when he was in power, forcibly losing half of his life. You see, he is now old enough to the limit and is about to die."

"What secret technique will damage the high priest like this?"

"I just tell you, don't talk nonsense. Do you know the prophecy that has been widely spread in Suiming City these two days? The one about the princess."

"Did you say that the princess will bring the prophecy of the end of the world? Isn't that a rumor? The rumor in the Priests' Hall had refuted it before, and it was still the matter that our group was responsible for."

"Shhh..." The man's voice became even smaller, "Actually, that's not a rumor!!!

"Ah? Could it be?!"

The other man lost his voice for a moment, and immediately attracted all his eyes. He quickly smiled and apologized to everyone. When everyone turned their heads again, he attached himself to the person who had just spoken and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that the high priest used secret techniques to obtain this prophecy?"

"Yes!" The speaker responded, "Don't call so loud this time. The high priest had just taken office, and His Highness the Princess had just been born, so His Majesty asked the High Priest to make a prophecy for His Highness. Unexpectedly, the result of the High Priest was that His Highness the Princess would bring about the end of destruction."

As he said, the speaker smiled proudly, "Only a few people knew about this matter that day, and His Majesty blocked the news immediately. My uncle happened to be the disciple of a high-ranking priest who knew about it back then, so he became one of the insiders."

"In this way, did Your Majesty push the entire human race to the end of the world in order to protect His Highness the Princess?"

The other man said in a little shocked manner.

"Shh, whisper, don't argue with your Majesty, don't you want to live anymore?"

The speaker quickly warned.

The two of them immediately shut up and fell into a strange tranquility.

These two candidates are junior priests in the Priests' Hall and the ranking is very low. The chances of the two of them being selected are very low. They just come here for a day trip, so their attitude is not particularly rigorous.

Mo Yu sat not far behind the two of them and quietly listened to all their conversations. At his current level, in fact, no matter how subtle the sounds in the entire hall were, he could clearly capture the sounds.

In fact, except for the two candidates in front of him, most people in this hall are talking about similar things, and the sources of information are also strange. Some come from the uncle, some come from the third uncle, and some come from the wife's ex-boyfriend's second aunt.

In just a dozen minutes, almost all the high priest candidates in this hall knew the news that "the human emperor pushed the entire human race to the end of the world in order to protect the princess". The human emperor's prestige quickly fell in the hearts of these people.

The current high priest sitting upright on the platform did not make any moves and was still sitting there withered.

In fact, in Mo Yu's eyes, this high priest who was forbidden in the surface world, who was like a wood carving, was surging with an extremely manic flow of information in the underlying information world. With the blessing of a certain special force, his person is infinitely close to the sacred human beings, and he may be able to exert a strong sacred human beings in a short period of time.

Under such powerful force, he could easily detect any small actions of everyone in the hall, that is, he knew that everyone in the hall was talking about the doomsday language, but as the top manager of this place and one of the core parties that had been discussed, he did not make any move.

Mo Yu glanced at him with a smile, then leaned directly against the wall in the corner to take a nap.

The ranking of the entire hall is based on the affinity for the gods in the previous screening tests, from high to low, and it is getting farther and farther away from the high priest. Mo Yu's affinity for the back door is zero, so he naturally ranked in the last and most remote corner.

He didn't care much, and leaned against the wall and prepared to sleep for a while.

At this time, a crisp bell rang throughout the hall. The high priest in charge of this screening stood on a yellow line not far in front of the high priest. He held a golden bell in his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

At the same time, a pure and transparent crystal ball about twenty centimeters in diameter slowly emerged from the void and slung in front of the high priest.

A vast and mysterious pressure spread out from the crystal ball. This is the "divine artifact" of the Shuming Kingdom. The glass ball that sealed Molière's rules was created with the help of this crystal ball. This is an extraordinary item with great potential to be above the sacred human beings.

Although it looks no different from the large glass ball outside that costs less than one hundred yuan per person, except for the vast and mysterious pressure it comes with.

In addition to Mo Yu, the others in the entire hall were instantly attracted by this crystal ball.

Immediately afterwards, the high priest holding the golden bell announced the rules for selection.

This rule is very simple. The candidates are closer to the crystal ball in turn. The closer they are to the crystal ball, the stronger the light and more colors the crystal ball emits. The higher the affinity of this person with the crystal ball, and the greater the probability of being recognized by God as a high priest.

There was no drag on the whole process. After the high priest finished speaking the rules, he immediately started chanting his name.

The arrangement of names is the arrangement of seats. The first thing is to say is the candidate with the highest affinity selected before.

It was a middle-aged man with a firm face, as if he was an intermediate priest, and one of the few who had been silent during the discussions of the audience. Mo Yu watched him slowly stood up and walked step by step towards the high priest next to the yellow line.

He saluted slightly to the high priest, and then stood silently on the yellow line.

For almost all the priests present, participating in the selection of high priests is the only chance in their life. After this time, almost no one can live until one thousand four hundred years later. However, they are still much luckier than many priests who were born and died in the heyday of the high priests. Those people have not even qualified to stand on this yellow line throughout their lives.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, slowly raised his feet, and crossed the yellow line.

Mo Yu had learned a lot about the selection of high priests beforehand. The first stage of screening did not involve the artifact, so the screening results were not accurate and were not necessarily the same as the actual affinity. There have been several times in history that the affinity was not high in screening, but in the final selection, they were recognized by the artifact and became the person who became the high priest in one fell swoop.

However, in the screening, the affinity will not be too bad in actual selection.

The facts are indeed the case. The middle-aged man seemed to be subjected to some kind of resistance when he stepped out of the yellow line, which hindered his progress and made him move forward very slowly.

In the eyes of everyone, this is a kind of force that comes from the artifact to hinder the progress, but in Mo Yu's eyes, he saw a fog of information spreading out from the crystal ball. In the area behind the yellow line, all physical parameters have experienced strange beatings, and twisted rules have woven into a constantly turbulent network.

What surprised Mo Yu was that under this crazy turmoil, the most superficial layer, which is the space that ordinary people can see, still maintains the basic shape of the object, making people feel that nothing happened.

This looks like a tightly covered pressure cooker lid. Although you look calm on the surface, the bottom of the lid is already surging like a storm.

The yellow line was about ten meters away from the crystal ball suspended in the air. Although the middle-aged man was walking slowly, he was still walking forward at a constant speed. The distance between him and the crystal ball gradually shortened.

As the distance shortened, a trace of dazzling light began to surge in the crystal ball. When he reached the fifth meter, the light on the crystal ball suddenly increased, and the colorless quickly turned red. At this moment, he was already struggling, but he was still insisting on moving forward a little bit.

It took more than ten minutes, and when he reached the sixth meter, the glory of the second color began to surge in the crystal ball, and then the third color also surged out.

In an instant, the entire hall became noisy, and everyone looked at the crystal ball shining with three colors in surprise.

"quiet!"

The high-level priest knocked on the golden bell in his hand, and the audience fell silent.

The middle-aged man looked happy and continued to move forward. Then when he moved to around 6.5 meters, he could no longer take a step forward.

He looked at the three-colored light on the crystal ball, and he rushed forward with all his strength. The obstacle he had imagined did not appear. He rushed out easily, then jumped over from the initial yellow line and fell not far from the high-level priest.

The crystal ball directly twisted the space. The middle-aged man seemed to pounce forward, but fell at the starting point behind him.

"Greed is insufficient, the results are cancelled!"

The senior priest rang the small bell, and then two fully armed soldiers came over and dragged the depressed middle-aged man down.

"What a pity, it's a pity."

The two people in front of Mo Yu began to whisper again, and the person on the left sighed first.

"The high priest seemed to have only lit up three colors back then."

The person on the right echoed.

"But the high priest walked nine meters away that year, far exceeding all competitors of the same period."

The man on the left whispered.

The length ruler in this world is not meter, but Mo Yu felt it was troublesome, so he directly manipulated the translation rules to convert the distance unit mentioned by the two into meters for his own understanding.
To be continued...
