Alchemy Sixth Church, third floor.
As they watched Ansu pull a wand from inside his clothes, while Ashley stood there sweating profusely, the priests fell silent once more.
"This isn't from our Holy See." A priest from the Alchemy Holy See was the first to break the silence. "Our Holy See doesn't have this examiner."
Another silence followed.
Only the priests of the Radiant Holy See had smiles on their lips, though none dared laugh too openly and could only smile discreetly.
The wheel had turned!
Now it was their turn to distance themselves!
Priest Percy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After presiding over the Saint Trial for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre examination.
Great God of Order, please guide this lost soul.
From the candidates to the examiners, not a single one in this examination was remotely human!
The naked egg-kicking man, the glasses-wearing man holding in his piss, and the delusional narcissistic woman!
The imperial capital was far too complicated. He wanted to go home.
"Now, please tell me." Ansu smiled. "Where did you think I kept this wand?"
As Ansu spoke, he tilted his head slightly. His cyan eyes were pure and innocent.
"I..." Ashley took a step back, unable to force out another word.
If the wand's location did not hold up, then none of her later deductions held up either.
The wand's location had been the most basic premise.
That included all that Interference Resonance nonsense. None of it held up.
"What filthy things did you have to imagine to come up with such a filthy school of thought?"
Ansu took a step forward and fixed his gaze on her. "Please tell me."
With every word Ansu spoke, Ashley's momentum weakened a little more.
