Chapter 1220: Revelation Test (III.)
Boris's face could not hide his surprise. He has presided over three phases of training, the pass rate of the first two phases is stable at around 5%, why did the third phase suddenly come to a "big explosion", seeing that the pass rate rushed up to 20%, the divine apocalypse test...... When did it become so easy?
In fact, the difficulty of the Revelation test has not changed, and what has really changed qualitatively is the quality of the trainees in this period. Roland's criterion for selecting students is high perception, and only those with higher perceptual talent than ordinary people can enter his eyes, so that students who have been screened in advance to participate in the Divine Revelation test, high perception will of course have high returns.
When Peter's 48th group walked onto the altar, nearly half of the test had been completed, and there were as many as 100 people who passed the test.
But then, an unbelievable scene happened.
Peter and the other two members of the group were all glowing with gold at the beginning of the timer, receiving the Priest Syndra's inheritance, and when the timer was over, the other testers turned to step down, Peter was still standing in front of the statue in a daze.
Boris thought that this boy had made another old mistake, and tried to play tricks in public, and when his face sank, he was about to open his mouth to get rid of him, but he was stunned before he could say anything.
Swish! A golden beam of light rose again above Peter's head, shaking Boris from opening his eyes.
Twice in a row, he sensed the Divine Revelation, which had never happened, and there was an uproar in the Great Chapel.
"His Royal Highness Roland...... What's going on?! Boris asked in surprise.
"Peter, this kid, was born to be the material of the priesthood, and with good luck, he felt the divine revelation more deeply than others." Roland crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Peter with a smile on his face, "After he obtained the inheritance of Pastor Sindra, the divine revelation he felt was still lingering, and this trace of divine power was enough to make him rise in rank again." ”
"So Peter, this kid has been promoted two levels in a row, and he has just passed the revelation test and has become a level 2 Sindra priest?" Boris was stunned.
Roland nodded slightly.
Boris raised his hand and drew a circle on his chest, muttering, "I hope that Peter boy will not fail the gift of my lord." ”
"I hope so." Roland echoed in a low voice, not revealing to Boris that when he communicated with the goddess sister with "psychics" not long ago, he had intentionally mentioned Peter's name, which left a good impression on the goddess sister.
The miracle that happened to Peter today is not so much his personal luck as the live "performance" that Roland and the goddess of fate conspired to plan, which of course has the factor of Peter's outstanding talent, but the main purpose is to create a hot topic through the miracles in religious ceremonies, show the power of the goddess of fate in the world, and at the same time guide people to pay more attention to the church of Sindra and urge believers to strengthen their faith.
As the supreme leader of the Sindra Church in the Far East, Roland did not worry about everything like Boris, he only focused on the big picture, knowing that the people's faith needs to be cultivated over a long period of time, just like flowers and plants need to be watered and fertilized regularly to thrive.
The consecration of Krasbourg started the Reformation in the Far East, but that was only a year ago, and most people had calmed down from their initial religious fanaticism, and their interest in the Church had declined over time. In order to revive the weary religious sentiments in the hearts of the people, it is necessary to create a new miracle that may not be as fanfare as fanfare as the sanctification ceremony, but that is enough to become the talk of the people, and that qualifies to be recorded in the Gospel and become a story for posterity.
On this issue, Roland sees a great deal of similarity between proselytizing and creating news buzz.
Which of the prophets on earth who has left a name in the history books is not a psychological master who is good at grasping people's hearts and is proficient in hype and propaganda? How could the church have grown without enough sensational miracles to cause widespread heated discussions?
It's just that the earth is a demonless world after all, and the miracles directed by prophets, masters, and various gods are just hoaxes in the end; And in Vares, the plane where the true god exists, Roland can create real miracles, just like what happened to Peter just now. As for whether this practice counts as a "scam", it is up to everyone. Roland doesn't say it, and the goddess sister doesn't say it, and who will know the truth behind the miracle.
Propaganda is important, but the typical characters who are pushed into the spotlight of the stage to focus on propaganda must also have excellent capital, otherwise they will only end up with a joke of "mud can't support the wall".
Roland had faith in Peter, the little guy. The miracle that happened to him also strengthened Peter's self-confidence, and he rarely became serious when choosing the field, and after praying sincerely, he chose the two fields of "fate" and "knowledge" with great solemnity.
The realm not only gives the priest additional powers and spells, but is also a direct reflection of the priest's own ideas and even philosophical thoughts. Peter chose the realm of fate and knowledge because Vladimir's original teachings were echoing in his mind at the moment-
"Knowledge can change our destiny."
Peter had doubted this, but now he truly believed that knowledge could indeed change people's lives—and his month of hard study and the revelation test he had just conducted perfectly illustrated this assertion.
The second half of the test was uneventful, maintaining a ratio of one to two passers per group until all 1,000 trainers had completed the test. In the end, the statistical results obtained by Roland showed that a total of 198 people passed the Divine Revelation test in this training course, and the pass rate reached almost 20%!
Among the remaining 800 people, more than 50 people have also passed the Divine Revelation test, but unfortunately they fell in front of the score line of the accounting exam, but fortunately, the score of the cultural class is far easier to improve than the perceptual talent, and it is very likely that they will pass the test smoothly after retraining.
Seeing this beautiful report card, Mr. Boris, the feared "iron-faced patriarch", also showed a rare smile, completely forgetting that he had complained that Roland was too strict when he signed up, and rejected many applicants with a good cultural foundation for no reason, and repeatedly emphasized that he would be invited to be the interviewer when recruiting students for the next training course.
Roland is now also aware that perceptual talent plays a key role in whether he can pass the revelation test, and he can use the "Pupil of Destiny" to select applicants with relatively outstanding perception in the crowd, which will greatly help improve the efficiency of training, now is the time for the church and the country to employ people, more efficient screening means that more pastors can be trained in a short period of time, as a high-level decision-maker of the church and the state, he must of course take Boris's request seriously.
