Chapter 226 (2): Philosopher’s Stone
Charlotte nodded with a smile and shared a few quiet words with her colleagues before stepping out of the meeting room, planning to rest tonight and head to the mission location tomorrow.
Wayne and Veronica followed Silvia back to her office. When Wayne handed the mission document to Silvia, she shook her head and said, “This is your mission. I won’t take part in it. Fifteen days is enough as long as you two don’t play around too much.”
Such as snuggling, flirting, and kissing in front of the auditors.
Wayne nodded, skimming through the document. They were heading to Winster to look for three Philosopher’s Stones. The document was thirty pages long and contained inaccurate information that the two candidates had to filter through to extract the useful information, through which they would find the three missing Philosopher’s Stones.
Veronica peeked over Wayne’s shoulders. “Is this a test for Holy Maiden candidates or detectives? Why is it so troublesome?”
“It’s a test of intelligence to make sure no brainless candidates can go to the next stage.”
Wayne could understand it. Putting the document in an envelope, he planned to return to the Lando Estate to study it overnight with Veronica. Veronica clicked her tongue, guessing his plan. She took the document and started reading on the side.
She would identify and exclude all the wrong answers during the day rather than waiting until the night. The scumbag was not entering her bedroom!
“Master, is there anything else you’d like to warn us about?” Wayne turned to Silvia. “You’ve passed the preliminary selection. What should we pay attention to, and what will be the auditing team’s focus while scoring us?”
“The result doesn’t matter,” Silvia said, recalling her experience. “Fifteen days are enough to ensure that you’ll pass. The challenge is how you perform during the process. If you display excellence in one aspect, be it intelligence or power, the auditing team will take note.”
Her mission had been to crack down on one of Death’s bases. She was young and reckless. Mistaking those acting as Death followers for actual heretics, she beat them all up, thus leaving a deep impression on the auditing team.
She wasn’t going to share such a humiliating experience and damage her image, so she embellished the story and suggested, “A candidate has to show both brawn and brain. Seize the chance to demonstrate your strengths, and you’ll be fine.”
