Heroes of the City Edition

Every priest apprentice must study in the priest school for three or even four years before he can graduate, and he must take two elective courses each year. .

That is to say, when those new pastors leave the pastoral school, in addition to the courses and knowledge that must be learned for preaching, they also need to learn six to seven homework, and the expansion of these elective courses is very strong, unlike ordinary universities. Take lessons to the extreme.

For example, in terms of history, ordinary universities may be divided into American history, British history, Italian history, etc., but in pastoral schools, these histories are all taught together.

This does not require priest apprentices to be able to achieve a bachelor's degree in history, a bachelor's degree in chemistry, etc., but at least when communicating with believers, they will not be unable to find topics.

Sharing a common language with believers, mastering multi-level knowledge, embellishing oneself as a polymath, coupled with mysterious and unpredictable magic, this will make every priest, even a newcomer priest who has just stepped out of school, a Focus on all around.

This effect has a strong guiding surname, making it easier for priests to attract people to become believers.

Well, in fact, many denominations play this way.

After all, a knowledgeable person is more likely to gain the respect and favor of others than an ignorant person.

In a fundamental sense, since ancient times, both totems and sects have been the means of passing on knowledge.

Well, let's go too far here.

Just because pastor schools have now become extremely formal, the number of priests graduating each year does not exceed 500.

This is already the limit of the pastor school, and if the pastor school is expanded, Achilles Island is already overwhelmed.

The heroes and their families and friends alone make Achilles Island and several nearby islands overcrowded, and the pastor school maintains around 5000 people all year round.

To put it bluntly, Achilles Island is now considered the hardest hit area of ​​ecological disaster.

The originally preserved primitive jungle area has been fully developed, and densely packed with dormitory buildings.

In this way, the high-level officials of Achilles Island can only reach out to nearby countries and regions.

On Ardagas Island, Achilles Island has long been enclosing land in the name of investment. Today, this land has more than 200 square kilometers.

To be honest, if this area is not a swampy area that is difficult to develop, I am afraid that Ardagas Island will not allow such a large piece of land to be enclosed.

Well, if it is placed in other countries, especially those with a more developed economy, it is impossible for outsiders to develop such a swamp.

But Adagasy Island is very poor, and anyone who is willing to invest will burn the incense.

What's more, the strength of Achilles Island and the opening of the banknotes make it difficult for the leadership of Ardagas Island to object.

To be honest, this swamp near the sea is not worth much. Apart from the mangroves, there is only mud with extremely high salt content.

Even the cost of building buildings here is seven or eight times higher than other normal places.

Achilles Island built a residential area here before, and it really cost a lot of money.

But at that time, there was money, and there were enough islands around Achilles Island, so I didn't pay much attention here.

But now, Achilles Island has to use its energy here.

Here, a large number of fire-throwing monsters lined up in a square formation, throwing the floating fireballs in their hands towards the swamp in rows as if fighting a war.

The continuous roar of explosions sounded in the swamp, and pieces of flames shot up into the sky, igniting patches of mangroves, and the emerald green leaves turned scorched yellow in a blink of an eye, and then they were licked by the flames and turned into scorched black.

Pieces of swampland were gradually dried up in the raging fire, and countless creatures living in the swampland suffered indiscriminate disasters.

Whether it was fish, crocodiles, or insects, they were all reduced to ashes in the fire and explosion.

If this scene was seen by the nature protection organization, I am afraid that it would be good for the Church of the Sea God to be scolded bloody, and maybe churches everywhere will be splashed with paint.

Of course, it is impossible for what happened here to spread to the outside world.

Before starting to burn the swamp, the surrounding sea area was blocked by the warships of Achilles Island. Not to mention those nature conservation organizations, it was difficult for even agents to sneak in.

As the swamp in this area was dried and hardened, teams of construction teams began to enter the swamp. Compared with other construction teams, the construction team dedicated to Achilles Island had its own characteristics.

In order to save costs, except for machinery such as mixing concrete, the rest of the machinery was not present.

Whether it is leveling the foundation, digging the foundation, or even building a house, they are all skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers work hard and will not get tired. Compared with other arms, they are much stronger in this aspect.

Perfect labor, as long as their soul fire is still burning, then they will never stop working.

Of course, the construction team of Achilles Island is not a special feature anymore. When many countries build national key secret projects, they use labor recruited from the hero world.

Safe and confidential.

While the skeletons were busy day and night, the swamps located east of Ardagas Island quickly changed everything.

Buildings with the style of the Sea God Church rose from the ground. Churches, dormitory buildings, cinemas, hospitals and other buildings bloomed in the swamp like flowers.

Well, the so-called Poseidon Church style is to shape all the buildings into deformed bodies of waves, sea creatures or submarine volcanoes.

In short, as long as it is related to water.

Compared to many established sects, the Sea God Church is extremely efficient.

When the buildings were erected and hadn't been painted, batches of pastor apprentices from all over the world began to settle here.

They were either inspired by the priest of the Sea God, or for the sake of life, or for better development, so when the Church of the Sea God began to recruit a new batch of priest apprentices, they rushed to sign up.

Well, even though the Sea God Church has not opened churches in every corner of the world yet, the influence of the Sea God Church in all parts of the world is not trivial.

If there is a comparison, the influence of the Sea God Church is equivalent to the top [-] in the world. People in some places may not have seen the Sea God priest, but at least they know the new sect of the Sea God Church.

Therefore, when the Sea God Church was recruiting priest apprentices, the offices of the Achilles Security Company all over the world were crowded with people.

A large number of graduates, workers, teachers and even civil servants, no matter whether they are yellow, white or dark and red, poured into the office one after another, crowded to get a registration form.

Even the usually icy-cold Xueba beauty completely dropped her mask at this time, and squeezed her way into the crowd, staring coldly at a strong man next to her for a registration form.

But fortunately, there are heroes and arms guarding the offices in various places, so there will be no trampling incidents.

But this time recruiting priest apprentices gave Butler James a headache.

There are more than one million applicants worldwide.

Although the Sea God Church recruited a lot more priest apprentices this time than before, it reached [-], directly doubling.

But compared to the millions of applicants, it is simply a drop in the bucket. The ratio between the number of applicants and the number of recruits exceeds three hundred to one.

In other words, a full three hundred people signed up for each priest apprenticeship.

Of course, in the past when priest apprentices signed up, the number was extremely large, but at most it was about a hundred thousand.

It can be seen from this that the Sea God Church has done a good job in publicity in recent years, otherwise, the number of applicants would never have increased to this level in one go.

To say that there are a considerable number of applicants with good conditions, James Butler couldn't help but nodded after reading the statistics and analysis report of the applicants.

There are even many graduates of top-ranked universities in the world, such as the undergraduates and masters of the University of the Bridge, the Harvard University, and even the Evergreen Pain Alliance.

The Sea God Church also needs high-quality talents, which is not fundamentally different from spreading teachings.

What's more, it is easier for high-quality apprentice pastors to graduate and become excellent new pastors during their pastoral school.

But the problem arises, there are too many talents inside.

If the selection is based solely on cultural quality, then at least 100 pastor apprentices can be selected from the more than 90 million applicants.

Well, after all, modern society is not like in ancient times, education is only the monopoly of nobles. Now, except for some really backward and remote places, the word illiteracy has begun to be unfamiliar to the crowd.

Of course, if you were a little pickier and added the condition of belief, then nearly 40 applicants could be kicked out. .

But even so, there are still more than 60 applicants.

After more than ten days of almost non-stop efforts by the same assistant manager of James Butlerhui, [-] qualified applicants without many defects were selected from the applicants.

This is already the limit of Butler James. If he wants to kick another 7000 people, Butler James will probably lose his mind.

That's not what people do at all.

To be honest, many people will say that kicking some people is not a simple matter?Just swipe a pen and cross it directly. What's so difficult about it?

Well, people who say this just treat work as work and deal with it.

For Butler James, this is no longer a job, but a career, a career that is enough to make him spend his whole life.

As a member of the British butler family, James the butler has always regarded the butler as his goal in life, and trying to become the greatest butler in the world has always been his goal in life.

Butler Johns from the Childrow family, Miss Fu from the Morgan family, etc. are all his idols in life.

The housekeepers of these big chaebol families are no longer ordinary housekeepers, but important figures within the chaebol family.

But now, James Butler feels that his hope is in sight.

Perhaps becoming the steward of a god should be regarded as the greatest steward?

Under such a philosophy of life, it would be more painful for Butler James to kick out those candidates who were qualified as excellent priest apprentices than to kill Butler James.

So after careful consideration, Butler James decisively handed over the matter to Lao Ma.

In terms of status, Lao Ma is Sea God Yashita's most trusted friend, not one of them.

In terms of ability, James Butler, who graduated from a prestigious university and is a talented person in several disciplines, really admires Lao Ma.

With Sea God Mixia not doing anything, being able to stabilize the foundation of the hero world is pretty good.

You know, with the massive development of the hero world in these years, the situation in the hero world has become many times more complicated than when Cheng Kong entered it.

Although the territory in the hero world is not known to be many times larger than the earth, human beings are born with internal strife. Although everyone is busy grabbing territory in the hero world, some conflicts will break out between them from time to time.

For now, the territory of many countries has expanded considerably.

For example, Laomei is said to have occupied more than 20 cities in the hero world, and even concentrated all her efforts to lay down a giant city recently.

As for other countries, each has their own gains. Although Achilles Island still occupies the leading position in the world of heroes, many countries have already begun to test it at this time.

If one is not careful, it may cause a siege situation.

To deal with such a situation, it is not just about having big fists.

After all, the Church of Sea God still needs to expand the scope of belief on Earth, so Achilles Island is unlikely to directly attack other countries in the world of heroes.

In that case, the consequences would be quite serious. If any country boycotted the Church of the Sea God in all directions, it might have a great impact on the global layout of the Church of the Sea God.

In any case, Lao Ma can stabilize the situation so that the situation in the hero world does not get out of control, this is the same skill.

After receiving the data report of the applicants sent by the housekeeper James, Lao Ma did not arbitrarily set conditions again to kick out the redundant applicants. Instead, he called Li Guanxi and others over after roughly checking it.

After being notified by Lao Ma, Li Guanxi and others soon appeared outside Lao Ma's villa.

Since the current strategy of Achilles Island in the hero world is no longer to strive to expand, but to stabilize the foundation, the lives of Li Guanxi and others are quite flat now.

After all, life in the previous hero world was full of battles, excitement and danger.

But now that they suddenly relaxed, Li Guanxi and the others felt a little uncomfortable.

After Li Guanxi and others entered the villa, Lao Ma was already waiting in the living room. When he saw everyone coming, he asked the maid to bring tea and let everyone sit down freely.

After Cheng Kong ignited the sacred fire and stopped managing common affairs, Achilles Island respected the old horse, and all important affairs required the old horse's nod to take effect.

Compared with Cheng Kong, Lao Ma is more serious when dealing with affairs, so even after Koji Toyotomi, who has become a little jumpy now, sat on the sofa, he didn't dare to play with Li Kanxi with a playful face.

"Mr. Ma, I don't know why you asked us to come here?"

As Cheng Kong's girlfriend, Murong Xue's position in Achilles Island is aloof. Under normal circumstances, she doesn't care about things now, she just takes care of the small supermarket with Cheng Kong's parents.

If Lao Ma hadn't informed me this time, Murong Xue wouldn't have come over.

Cheng Qian's boyfriend came to the door for the first time today, and as Cheng Qian's future sister-in-law, it is impossible for her not to be present.

It was also because of this that Murong Xue wanted to leave in a hurry, and when she saw that no one spoke, she asked.

The old horse then said the matter again, naturally he wanted to ask everyone what they meant.

Although Cheng Kong handed over some of the affairs of Achilles Island and the Sea God Church to Lao Ma, but based on his experience in the officialdom for so many years, he also knew that there were some things that could not be separated.

Especially when it comes to matters related to the Sea God Church, Lao Ma has always been very cautious. After all, no matter how good a friend is, after Cheng Kong ignited the fire and became a god, the status between them suddenly became worlds apart.

If they rely on the relationship between each other to show off their power and act recklessly, I am afraid that there will be no good end in the future.

This is like the effect of a childhood friend ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.

"So many qualified applicants?"

After hearing what the old horse said, everyone was stunned.

Although the Sea God Church is now mainly in charge of Lao Ma and Butler James, it is not that everyone has completely ignored the affairs of the Sea God Church, and they also know a little about the priest school of the Sea God Church.

I remember that last year we recruited priest apprentices several times, and only a total of more than 50 people signed up. In the end, only 6000 qualified priest apprentices were selected, and this time, more than 2 people qualified.

And this time the screening conditions are more stringent. If the conditions are relaxed like last year, I am afraid that at least a hundred thousand people will pass.

"These 2 people, let's take them in. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After Murong Xue expressed her opinion, she left in a hurry.

"Well, I have the same opinion as my teacher's wife." Li Guanxi said, and was about to leave. This period of time was a rare rest time. Li Guanxi wanted to spend more time with his wife and son to make up for his past negligence.

Seeing that Li Guanxi was about to leave, the old horse was a little anxious, everyone had left, and he was talking a fart.

So, the old horse directly reached out and held Li Guanxi down: "Don't worry, you can leave after I finish talking."

Seeing that the old horse had spoken, Li Guanxi sat down again, and Toyotomi Koji, who originally planned to go with him, also sat down. Here, the old horse is still very prestigious.

"I also agree with Murong Xue's opinion. In addition, I suggest that after the 2 people are recruited by the pastor school, a group of pastor apprentices will be recruited some time in advance to avoid brain drain."

Butler James was reluctant to let the talents go, and the old horse was the same. Besides, apart from the 2 people, some applicants had good conditions, and they were all believers of the Sea God Church. (To be continued.)
