Each priest apprentice must study in a priest school for three or even four years before graduating, and must take two elective courses each year. In other words, when new pastors leave pastoral schools, in addition to the courses and knowledge necessary for preaching, they also need to learn six to seven courses, and these elective courses are very expandable and are not like ordinary universities. Make the course as detailed as possible. For example, in terms of history, ordinary universities may be divided into American history, British history, Italian history, etc., but in priest schools, these histories are taught together. This does not require pastoral apprentices to have a bachelor's degree in history, chemistry, etc., but at least when communicating with believers, they will not be unable to find topics. Having a common language with believers, mastering multiple levels of knowledge, and embellishing yourself into a scholar, coupled with mysterious magical skills, will make every priest, even a new priest who has just stepped out of school, become a The center of attention all around. This effect has a strong guiding effect, making it easier for pastors to attract people to become believers. Well, actually many sects do this. After all, a knowledgeable person is more likely to gain the respect and favor of others than an ignorant person. ??In a fundamental sense, from ancient times, both totems and sects have been means of passing on knowledge. ? ? Okay, that¡¯s a long way to go. Precisely because the pastoral school has become extremely formal, the number of pastors graduating each year will not exceed 1,500. This is already the limit of the pastoral school, and if the pastoral school is expanded further. Achilles Island is already overwhelmed. The heroes and their families and friends alone make Achilles Island and several nearby islands overcrowded. In addition, the priest school maintains a population of about 5,000 people all year round. To put it bluntly, Achilles Island is now considered an ecological disaster area. The original jungle areas that have been preserved have been completely developed. The accommodation buildings are densely built. As a result, the senior leaders of Achilles Island can only turn their ideas to nearby countries and regions. On Adagas Island, Achilles Island has long been enclosing land in the name of investment. Today, this land covers more than 200 square kilometers. To be honest, if this area was not a swamp area that is difficult to develop, I am afraid Adagas Island would not allow such a large piece of land to be enclosed. Um. If it were placed in other countries, especially those with more developed economies, it would be impossible for outsiders to develop such a swamp. ¡°But Adagas Island is very poor. If someone is willing to invest, it will be a blessing. What¡¯s more, the strength of Achilles Island and the way banknotes open the way make it difficult for the leadership of Adagas Island to oppose it. To be honest, this swamp area near the sea does not have much value. Except for those mangroves. All that's left is mud that's extremely salty. Even the cost of building a building here is seven to eight times higher than in other normal places. Achilles Island previously built a residential area here, which really cost a lot of money. But at that time, we had money and the islands around Achilles Island were sufficient, so we didn¡¯t pay much attention here. But now, Achilles Island has to spend its energy here. Here, a large number of fire-throwing monsters formed a square formation, as if fighting, throwing the fireballs suspended in their hands into the swamp row by row. Continuous roars of explosions resounded in the swamp. Pieces of fire shot up into the sky, igniting patches of mangrove trees. The emerald green leaves turned yellow in the blink of an eye, and then were licked by the flames and turned black. Pieces of swamps were gradually dried up in the fire, and countless creatures living in the swamps suffered unreasonable disasters. Whether it was fish, crocodiles or insects, they were all turned into ashes in the fire and explosion. ¡°If this scene were seen by a nature conservation organization, I¡¯m afraid the Poseidon Church would be scolded bloody. Even if it¡¯s a good thing, churches everywhere might be splashed with paint. Of course, what happens here cannot be spread to the outside world. Before starting to burn the swamp, the surrounding waters were blocked by the battleships of Achilles Island. It was difficult for even agents to sneak in, let alone those nature conservation organizations. As the swamps in this area were dried and hardened, groups of construction teams began to enter the swamps. Compared with other construction teams, the construction teams dedicated to Achilles Island had their own characteristics. In order to save costs, in addition to stirring?Except for machinery such as concrete, no other machinery appeared. Whether they are leveling the foundation, digging the foundation, or even building houses, they are all skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers work hard and will not get tired. Compared with other types of soldiers, they are much better in this regard. Perfect labor force, as long as the fire of their souls is still burning, they will continue to work forever. Of course, the characteristics of the construction team on Achilles Island are not that special now. When many countries build key national secret projects, they use labor forces recruited from the heroic world. Safe and confidential. With the skeletons busy day and night, the swamps located to the east of Adagas Island soon changed. Buildings with the style of Poseidon Church are rising from the ground. Churches, dormitories, cinemas, hospitals and other buildings are blooming in the swamp like flowers. Well, the so-called Poseidon Church style is to shape all buildings into deformations of waves, sea creatures or submarine volcanoes, etc. In short, as long as it has something to do with water, that¡¯s it. Compared to many established sects, the Poseidon Church is extremely efficient. When the building complex was erected and before it was painted, batches of priest apprentices from all over the world began to settle here. They are either inspired by Poseidon Priest, or for the sake of living, or because they want better development. Therefore, when Poseidon Church began to recruit a new batch of priest apprentices, they rushed to sign up. Well, although Poseidon Church has not yet opened churches in every corner of the world, the influence of Poseidon Church in various parts of the world is extraordinary. If you have to make a comparison. The influence of Poseidon Church is equivalent to the top 100 in the world. People in some places may not have seen Poseidon Pastor, but at least they know about Poseidon Church, a new sect. Therefore, when the Poseidon Church recruits priest apprentices, Achilles Security Company offices in various countries around the world are crowded with people. A large number of graduates, workers, teachers and even civil servants, regardless of their yellow skin. Whether they have white skin or dark skin or red skin, they all flock to the office and squeeze in to get a registration form. Even the usually frosty academic beauty has completely thrown off her mask at this time. Struggling to squeeze into the crowd, he looked coldly at the strong man next to him for a registration form. But fortunately, there are heroes and troops guarding the offices in various places. Not that there would be any trampling. But this time we are recruiting priest apprentices. It actually gave Butler James a headache. There are more than one million applicants worldwide. Although the number of priest apprentices recruited by the Poseidon Church this time is much more than before, it has reached 3,000, which has doubled. 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 is more than 300 to one. In other words, there are enough 300 people to sign up for each priest apprenticeship quota. Of course, when registering as a priest apprentice in the past. The number of people is also very large, but at most there are only about 100,000 people. It can be seen from this that the Poseidon Church has done a good job in publicity in recent years. Otherwise, the number of applicants would never be able to increase to this level in one go. To say that there are a considerable number of applicants with good conditions, Butler James couldn¡¯t help but nodded after reading the statistical analysis report on the applicants¡¯ data. There are even many graduates from top-ranked universities in the world, such as Shiphashi University, Hufo University, and even undergraduate graduates and masters from the Evergreen Pain Alliance, etc. Poseidon Church also needs high-quality talents, which is not fundamentally different from spreading doctrines. What¡¯s more, high-quality pastoral apprentices are more likely to graduate and become outstanding new pastors when they attend pastoral schools. But the problem arises, there are too many talents. ¡°If we select based on cultural quality alone, then at least 900,000 priest apprentices can be selected from the more than one million applicants. Well, after all, modern society is not like ancient times. Education is only the patent of the aristocracy. Now, except for some really backward and remote places, the word illiteracy has begun to be unfamiliar to people. Of course, if you are more picky and add the condition of faith, you can kick out nearly 400,000 applicants. But even so, there are still more than 600,000 applicants. After more than ten days of almost sleepless efforts by the assistant manager of James Butler Collection, two people were selected from the applicants.??Applicants who meet the conditions and have few defects come. This is already the limit of Butler James. If he kicks out another 17,000 people, Butler James¡¯ brain will probably explode. This is not something humans do at all. To be honest, many people would say, wouldn¡¯t it be a simple matter to kick some people off? Just make a cross with a swipe of the pen. What's so difficult about this? 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 can last a lifetime. As a member of the great British butler family, James Butler has always regarded being a steward as his life goal, and trying to become the greatest steward in the world has always been his life goal. Butler Johns of the Childlow family, Little Miss Fu of 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. And now, Butler James feels that his hope is right in front of him. ?Perhaps becoming a steward of a god should be considered the greatest steward? With this philosophy of life, it would actually be more painful for Butler James to kick out those excellent priest apprentice candidates 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 the most trusted friend of Poseidon Mixia. ??In terms of ability. Butler James, a talented man who graduated from a prestigious university and studied several subjects, really admires Lao Ma. With Poseidon Mixia not taking care of things, it would be great to be able to stabilize the foundation of the hero world. You must know that over the past few years, countries around the world have vigorously developed the heroic world. The situation in the heroic world has become countless times more complicated than when Cheng Kong entered it. Although the territory in the hero world is many times larger than the earth. But the inherent evil of human beings is internal fighting. Although everyone is now busy grabbing territory in the heroic world, conflicts will break out between each other from time to time. For now. The territory of many countries has expanded considerably. For example, Lao Mei is said to have occupied more than 20 cities in the hero world, and even recently concentrated all his efforts to conquer a huge city. As for other countries, they all have their own gains. Although Achilles Island still occupies the position of the boss in the heroic world, many countries are already beginning to test the waters at this time. An accident. This may lead to a siege situation. And to deal with this situation. It's not just about big fists. After all, the Poseidon Church still needs to expand the scope of its faith on the earth, so it is unlikely that Achilles Island will directly attack other countries in the heroic world. In that case, the consequences will be quite serious. If any country boycotts the Poseidon Church in all aspects, it may have a great impact on the global layout of the Poseidon Church. No matter what, Lao Ma can stabilize the situation and prevent the situation in the hero world from getting out of control. This is the same skill. After receiving the applicant information data report from James butler. Lao Ma did not arbitrarily forcefully set conditions again to kick out the redundant ones, but after a rough inspection, he called Li Guanxi and others over. ? Received notification from Lao Ma. Li Guanxi and others soon appeared outside Lao Ma's villa. Since the current strategy of Achilles Island in the heroic world is no longer to strive for expansion, but to consolidate its foundation, Li Guanxi and others are living a rather dull life now. After all, life in the previous heroic world was full of battles, excitement and danger. And now that they have suddenly relaxed, Li Guanxi and others feel a little uncomfortable. After Li Guanxi and others entered the villa, Lao Ma was already waiting in the living room. When he saw everyone arriving, he immediately asked the maid to bring tea and let everyone sit down as they pleased. After Cheng Kong lit the divine fire and stopped managing mundane affairs, Achilles Island respected Lao Ma, and all major affairs required Lao Ma's nod before they could take effect. "Compared to Cheng Kong, Lao Ma seemed more serious when dealing with affairs, so even after Toyotomi Koji, who had become a little out of touch now, sat on the sofa, he did not dare to play around with Li Guanxi with a playful smile. "Teacher Ma, I wonder why you called us here?" As Cheng Kong's girlfriend, Murong Xue's status on Achilles Island is transcendent., Under normal circumstances, she doesn't care about anything now, she just accompanies Cheng Kong's parents to take care of the small supermarket. If Lao Ma hadn¡¯t notified him this time, Murong Xue would not have come. Cheng Qian¡¯s boyfriend came to visit for the first time today. As Cheng Qian¡¯s future sister-in-law, it would be impossible for her not to be present. Because of this, Murong Xue had some thoughts of leaving in a hurry. Seeing that no one spoke, she started asking. Lao Ma then explained the matter again, naturally wanting to ask everyone what they meant. Although Cheng Kong left some affairs of Achilles Island and Poseidon Church in the hands of Lao Ma, based on Lao Ma¡¯s experience in officialdom for so many years, he also knows that some things cannot be dictatorial. Especially when it comes to Poseidon Church, Lao Ma has always been very cautious. After all, no matter how good friends are, after Cheng Kong lit the divine fire and became a god, their status suddenly became worlds apart. "If we rely on our relationship to show off our power and act recklessly, I'm afraid it won't end well in the future. This is the same effect as a childhood friend ascending the throne and becoming an emperor. "So many qualified applicants?" After hearing what Lao Ma said, everyone was stunned. Although Lao Ma and Butler James are mainly responsible for the Poseidon Church, everyone does not ignore the affairs of the Poseidon Church at all, and they also know a little bit about the Poseidon Church's priest school. I remember that last year we recruited several priest apprentices, and only more than 500,000 people signed up. In the end, only 6,000 qualified priest apprentices were selected. This time, more than 20,000 qualified priests. And the screening conditions this time are more stringent. If the conditions are relaxed like last year, I am afraid that at least 100,000 people will be qualified. "Please bring all the more than 20,000 people in. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After Murong Xue expressed her opinion, she left in a hurry. "Well, my wife and I have the same opinion." Li Guanxi said and was about to leave. This period of time is 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, Lao Ma was a little anxious. Everyone had left, and he was talking nonsense. So, Lao Ma directly stretched out his hand to hold Li Guanxi down: "Don't worry, wait until I finish speaking before you leave." Seeing Lao Ma speak, Li Guanxi sat down again, and Toyotomi Koji, who originally planned to follow, also After sitting down, the core members who came up behind Yang Tian were not as courageous as Li Guanxi and others. In their minds, Lao Ma was still very prestigious. "I also agree with Murong Xue's opinion. In addition, I suggest that after the pastoral school admits the 20,000 people, it recruits a group of pastoral apprentices some time in advance to avoid the loss of talent." Butler James was reluctant to let the talents go. The same goes for Lao Ma, not to mention that except for the 20,000 people, some of the other applicants are also in good condition, and they are all believers of the Poseidon Church.
