Chapter 94 Dominic
The place of the entrance examination for the parochial school is in the nave of the Abbey Cathedral.

Abbey Cathedral can accommodate a total of 1 people, and the nave is divided into 4000 people. The other buildings share the remaining [-] people. It is conceivable that the nave is so big.

This is a place for prostration. The dome is so high that it is as high as five or six floors of a normal house. It is very majestic, and it feels empty even standing inside.At the end of the nave is the main altar, and a little further on are rows of chairs. For the special needs of the entrance examination, some of them have been temporarily remodeled, and table boards are added to form small tables. , the students do not appear crowded even after they are seated separately.

Looking from Norman's side, most of the space in the nave is empty. The students who were seated not only did not fill the space, but made it feel more empty.

The dome of the nave is inlaid with a large glass skylight, which depicts religious pictures, such as the scene of the Holy Son establishing the Father God and being worshipped by people, the scene of the Holy Spirit persuading the dragons to enter the mountain, and the scene of Nicholas III being punished because he could not bear the Father God. The stories of the nobles abusing it as an excuse to kill and create the Inquisition to save the world, etc., are all carefully crafted by the art masters of Cardenas, and the patterns are lifelike.

And the most astonishing thing is that when the sunlight shines down from these skylights, a huge image of a man of light can be faintly visible in the nave!
This miraculous scene coupled with the empty nave made Norman feel like he was in heaven for a while. Fortunately, he was mentally strong, so he was just surprised that if ordinary people came here, they would be in the midst , I am afraid that I have already fallen to my knees in admiration of this miracle.

"The glass of the dome has been specially carved to form an array, which allows the light to form such an effect at a certain angle. The technique is very superb and can be called art."

Lancelot said this in his heart, but Norman didn't quite understand, but he somehow understood that it was because of the glass skylights on the top that caused such a spectacle.

But now is not the time to appreciate the Abbe Cathedral, it is time to take the entrance exam as soon as possible.

Within two steps of entering the nave, there was a temporary platform, and five priests were standing behind the platform, each with their own duties—well, to put it simply, this is where the examination fees are collected.

However, unlike previous years, because of the decree, the number of references this year has been greatly reduced, which greatly reduces the workload of these pastors.

"Mr. Dominique."

When the priests saw Dominic and Norman coming, they hurriedly saluted. This scene naturally startled the mages who had already entered before, and then stared at Dominic, not knowing who it was.

Looking at his clothes, why doesn't this man look like a priest?It's strange that he doesn't look like an aristocrat wearing such simple civilian clothes.

Dominic also saluted the pastors, then turned sideways, let Norman out, and asked him to pay the money.

After putting on the new clothes this morning, Norman also considered the need to pay the exam fee, and finally did not put the money bag in his crotch, so he would not have to dig out his crotch in public.

He took out his money bag from the interlayer of his clothes, and after paying the exam fee, he reported his personal information to these pastors, asked them to be registered in the register, and then continued to follow Dominic. go.

The place where the examinees took the exam was arranged in the middle of the nave, a little inside. A large area was laid out, and there were nearly ten clergymen on the side to assist and guide the students to take their seats.Their teachers have not left for a while, some are explaining the final exam points to the students, some are talking and chatting with each other, and many of them have been looking at Norman and the others. .

These are several black-robed mages, and the one in the middle is the red-robed mage Naiden. They are all looking at Norman and Dominic.

"I remembered, that was the deputy head of the Knights Templar, Dominic Chapman."

After looking at Dominic for a long time, Naiden finally remembered where he had seen this man.

"I once saw him at the coming-of-age party of Duke Cahilla's second son. I heard that he was carrying out an important mission of the church in Husum, so Duke Cahillda was able to invite him."

Deputy head of the Knights Templar? !

The black-robed mages took a breath in unison.

The Knights Templar is the guardian knights of the Father God. It has been stationed in Baishan for many years and is responsible for resisting the dragons. It is the most powerful and elite knights in the United Kingdom of Augustus. Every noble boy can enter Proud to the Knights Templar.Many princes in the past had the experience of joining the Knights Templar. For example, the old king who died at the beginning of the year had served in the Knights Templar. The current second prince has also served in the Knights Templar. The lofty status of the Knights Templar is evident.

In other words, this deputy head is very likely to have been the second prince's boss, and even kicked the second prince's ass, but now he is doing the job of leading the way!
This is something only a servant would do...

Under the guidance of the clergy, Norman sat in his seat, and before he sat down, Dominic left.

"Goodbye, Norman."

Dominic stood in front of Norman and said this to Norman, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very friendly, but his words were not very polite.

"hope you can……"

Before Dominic finished speaking, a voice came from behind and interrupted him.

"Master Dominic, good morning."

Norman looked over Dominic's shoulder, and saw several black-robed mages surrounded by a red-robed mage standing behind Dominic, and it was the red-robed mage who spoke.

Dominic turned around and looked at these people.

"I'm Naiden Kennedy. We met at the coming-of-age party of the second son of Duke Cahildah..."

Naiden smiled enthusiastically, but tried his best to restrain himself, so that he would not look too doggy, and wanted to have a few words with Dominic.

Dominic was not in the mood to chat with him, but nodded politely to them, said "Good morning", and then cut off Naiden's words decisively.

"Sorry, I have something to talk to him about."

After greeting, without waiting for any response from the mages, Dominic turned to face Norman again, and said softly, "I hope you can remember what I just said." He actually regarded those mages as nothing.

Although Priest Hardy is very confident in preventing Mr. Norman from approaching the saint, Dominic is not as optimistic as Hardy. This is not because Dominic is smarter than Hardy, but because Dominic Recognize a simple truth: Has the son won the father?Especially the other party is Tomas, the hammer of justice is not only selfless and noble, but also wise.

Just in case, Dominic finally decided to give Mr. Norman a warning himself.

Just like before, these mages seemed unable to hear Dominic's words, only Norman could hear them.After finishing speaking, Dominic put his hand on Norman's shoulder and patted him lightly, as if encouraging.

Only Norman knew it was a warning.

Finally, Dominic turned around, nodded to the red-robed mage Naiden who wanted to talk to him, "Goodbye." Then he turned around and left, and quickly left the nave, without any face mages.

After all, he is a martial artist, far less capable than Duke Lake.

Although the mages headed by the red-robed mage Naiden were a little embarrassed, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, the status of the other party was much higher than that of these backcountry bumpkins, so they had to pretend that nothing happened and smiled at Norman. After a while, they all turned and left.

Norman is obviously different from the ordinary reference students, so they just smiled at Norman unconsciously.

Nonsense, Tomas guarantees that he is the source mage in the future, the Duke of Lake smiled at this guy, the deputy head who kicked the second prince's ass led him, and encouraged him so intimately just now, they even blue Can a mage who is not in the robe still show him the same face as he treats ordinary students?
Maybe this strange guy has a big background, so let's laugh.

Norman looked at the mages who were smirking at him inexplicably, watched them walk away, and then sat down.

The exam fee is not in vain. The ink and quill are all ready, and even two blank parchment papers are provided, which should be used for the candidates to make drafts.

After Norman waited for a long time, the 3 bell finally rang, and the exam was about to begin.

The clergy began to close the door of the church and asked the mages to leave through the side door and go to the side room next to the loggia to rest. After the mages all left the nave, three deacons and two crusaders came in.

The two crusaders carried a box and put it down in the nave. One of the three deacons opened the box, took out the test papers from it, and let the clergy on the scene start distributing them.

The exam has officially started.
