Chapter 98 The Sun’s Favor Is Not Over Yet
"The sun's favor?"

When the examiner heard the spell submitted by Jia Xiu, he felt a little strange. It was a spell with such a serious-sounding name.

The sun is indeed very kind.

All things grow with the help of the sun. Without the sun, all life in the world would be difficult to sustain, so it is reasonable to be grateful to the sun.

For this reason, the sun god has always been a god with a large number of believers.

The power of a deity depends on both the number of its believers and its own authority.

Some evil gods, such as Falazul, the dragon god of withering, corruption and death, have very few believers and are resisted as cults everywhere. However, because theocracy is powerful and he can fight on his own, he is still a powerful god.

As for the Sun God, due to his widespread belief and his already powerful divine authority, he has become one of the top gods.

Presumably, this favor from the sun is to ask for the favor of the sun god and bring blessings to the target.

It is considered a divine guidance technique with enhanced effects targeted at specific gods.

So it seems quite normal.

Did I wrongly blame this candidate named Jia Xiu?
The arbitration team that was called over asked, "Is there any problem with the spell of this candidate Jia Xiu?"

"There's no big problem at the moment, it's just a little complicated and I'm not sure how to grasp it," the examiner replied.

After being "educated" twice, the examiner has now learned not to be too full of words.

As long as there seems to be a slight problem, just assume that there is a problem.

"A little more complicated, how complicated? Candidate Jia Xiu, please introduce your spells so I can see your magic book." said the mage from the arbitration group.

"Okay, my divine guidance technique has not adjusted the final effect." Jia Xiu introduced.

"No final effect of the adjustment took effect?" The examiner began to have a bad feeling.

"So what did you change?"

"I believe that the greatest room for adjustment in divine guidance lies not in the blessing itself, but in the process of receiving it. Only by expressing sufficient piety can one receive the blessing."

"what?"

The examiner did not expect that Jia Xiu was actually a devout believer. He thought that the blessing of divine guidance required sufficient piety. This was probably an idea that only believers with a bit of crazy faith would have.

Jia Xiu continued, "So, the focus of my adjustments this time is to strictly check the target's piety. If piety is not absolute, then it is definitely not pious!"

The examiner's bad feeling grew stronger. "Then what's the point of adding this process to test your piety?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain, so a direct demonstration will make it clear."

At this time, the arbitration team also finished checking Jia Xiu's magic book.

"It's pretty much what he said. It does have the same effect. It doesn't change the final blessing, but it adds a complicated verification process. I just don't understand why it has to be so complicated. It shouldn't need to be done to this extent."

"For scalability," Jia Xiu replied, "to facilitate subsequent expansion, some functional support runes are referenced."

As a programmer, Jia Xiu pays more attention to the scalability of program functions. You never know what strange requirements the planners will put forward. They can always come up with unexpected things, so it is best to ensure that the original system can easily accommodate new functions.

"Extensibility? Interesting. I'm not entirely sure how this spell works, but after examining it, I can confirm it's harmless. You'll likely need a human as a target for the effect."

"If there is, that would be great."

"Call a few apprentices over."

The arbitration team was not vague and directly called in several apprentices.

Being an apprentice is such a miserable job. A small part of the time is spent on learning, and most of the time is spent on hard labor and experimental targets.

However, the safety of apprentices is now somewhat guaranteed. Experiments of uncertain danger are prohibited on apprentices, and there are subsidies for participating in the experiments.

Before this regulation came out, it was common for the high-ranking wizard to let his apprentices try medicines with completely unknown effects.

Several young apprentices stood in a row, looking a little nervous.

Most of them only know one or two tricks, and the highest level they can reach in their lifetime is probably only first or second-level spells. This is the situation of most spellcasters.

Therefore, for them, anyone who can take the registered spellcaster assessment is a "magical master", so it is inevitable that they are nervous.

"Relax, believe me, I will never hurt you." Jia Xiu said.

"Yes, I have checked and there is indeed no damage." The mage from the arbitration group also added.

Only Florence, Jia Xiu's true fan, had a rough idea of ​​what might happen.

Not causing harm does not mean not leaving psychological trauma.

I believe that after these apprentices have been baptized by Jia Xiu, they will also feel the significance of pursuing the truth of magic.

Jia Xiu released the spell.

In an instant, bright and warm light enveloped the entire examination room, and the apprentices gradually relaxed under the light.

What a peaceful spell...

The examiner was also immersed in the peaceful atmosphere. It turned out to be such a peaceful spell? It seemed that he had really wronged Jia Xiu.

It's clearly a good benefit, just like calming the mind.

But where is the test of piety that I just mentioned?

Just then, a voice came from the light.

"Question, what is the name of the Sun God? 3, 2, 1..."

As soon as the question was asked, the countdown began.

"Helios." Some apprentices reacted quickly and gave the answer immediately.

The other apprentices were not so clever.

"I don't know the name of the Sun God, and I'm not pious enough. I raise my hands in repentance."

Then, guided by an irresistible force, several unnamed apprentices could not help but raise their hands, as if to feel the sun.

"Question, what is the Sun God's vehicle? 3, 2, 1..."

"The sun, um... not the Sun God Chariot."

"The countdown is over. I wasn't pious enough. Tears well up in my eyes to express my repentance."

The apprentice who failed to answer suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt and couldn't help but shed tears.

The apprentice who failed to answer two questions in a row raised his hands with tears in his eyes.

This question-and-answer session that tests piety continues.

"Question, the first line of the Hymn to the Sun God is..."

"Question, the fourth line of the prayer to the sun god is..."

……

As the questions became more difficult, none of the apprentices could answer them all.

And if you can't answer, there is naturally only one result.

All the apprentices raised their hands with tears in their eyes.

The scene of them sincerely confessing their sins to the sun god would have seemed extremely sacred if one hadn't known that they were being forced to do so.

But none of them volunteered!
The examiner was shocked. So this is why I read "The Divine Review"? To find a bunch of tricky questions.

It was so weird to see the apprentices crying with their hands raised up, as if they were cast from the same mold.

What kind of favor is this!
It feels like the originally warm sunlight is going to burn my eyes!
