150. I really don't want to be a villain
Merlin didn't go straight to Sister Linn's dormitory, he took a detour to the first-year campus and picked up Alice.
Merlin was going to take little Lori to dinner.
Of course, rubbing food or something is actually secondary, and the main thing is that such an act can show a certain degree of goodwill to the Templar Church.
Anyway, Alice has awakened the angel pattern, and judging from the sparkling eyes of Sister Lin when she looked at little Lori, eighty percent of the Templar Church was already thinking about Alice.
So instead of guarding the Templar Church like a thief every day, Merlin might as well just let Alice get a little closer to the church.
Originally, Merlin was going to teach Alice sorcery in person, but little Lori's magic pattern was an angel's magic pattern, which disrupted his plan a little.
Angel Crest is best suited to learn the Templar Church's divine arts, and Merlin really doesn't know anything about divine arts.
Although the original owner, as a master in the field of occultism, has also studied the divine arts of the church, but the original owner only takes the path of a scholar who is purely academic, and he is not willing to learn these extraordinary abilities at all, that is, now that Merlin has taken over this body, he has begun to gradually try to start learning those witchcraft.
With the theoretical foundation left by the original owner, and the general talent of the demon king's body, Merlin's progress in witchcraft learning is like a rocket, especially all kinds of dark abyssal witchcraft, which can be used at will as if it were instinct.
But it is also because of the body of the demon king, Merlin can be said to have made no progress in the practice of divine arts, after all, as everyone knows, demons and angels are mortal enemies, and you expect a demon to learn divine arts, it is like wanting a fish to breathe fire in the water, it is almost impossible.
Even if the fish really succeeded in breathing fire, then the result would probably only be to make a pot of fish soup by itself.
Therefore, there is a bunch of theoretical basis, but Merlin, who has no practical experience, is at best a strong mouth king in the field of divine arts, and it may be no problem to teach Alice at this level, but in the long run, it will be a mistake.
If this was before, Merlin might have been worried about how to get Alice to learn divine arts, but now that the boss of the Templar Church is by his side, this ready-made resource is not in vain.
He took Alice to Sister Lin's to eat, just to think about whether he could let Alice learn magic with Sister Lin.
As the former deputy head of the Knights Templar, Sister Lin's divine attainments naturally do not need to be doubted, and she is the first person in the younger generation of the Church, and she doesn't know how high she is compared to a strong-mouthed king like Merlin.
Given how much the church attaches importance to Alice's Angel Pattern, it probably won't refuse this request.
Even in order to let Sister Lin teach Alice a little more real skills, Merlin can accept that little Lori really Bailin is a teacher, and sign a master-apprentice agreement, just like the relationship between Cinderella and him.
Although the master-apprentice agreement is a deed of sale, once Alice does sign the agreement with Lynn, then it is equivalent to selling herself to Lynn, which is almost equivalent to joining the Templar Church.
However, Merlin is not worried about this, because since the last time he signed the demon contract, Alice's ownership is actually in his hands.
Just as it is impossible for a store to sell its own goods to customers, until the goods are sold, they are owned by the shopkeeper, and only the transaction approved by the shopkeeper is valid.
In the same way, even if Alice really signed the master-apprentice contract like a deed of sale, because she did not have ownership of herself at all, that contract was equivalent to a piece of waste paper, and it was not binding at all.
That's a lot of room for manoeuvre.
As long as this master-apprentice contract is signed, then in the eyes of the Templar Church, Alice is one of their own people who can be trusted, then the Templar Church that has achieved its goal will not delve too deeply into the investigation of Alice's origins, they may still investigate, but it will not be the level that they want to find out even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, so that the pressure of Merlin's vest explosion can be reduced a lot.
In a word, make the sound of a white prostitute.
Alas, in fact, Merlin thinks that there is nothing wrong with letting Alice really join the Templar Church like this, after all, the Templar Church in this world is not the kind of common villain, but a genuine righteous organization, once he really joins the Templar Church, it will be equivalent to the treatment of civil servants in the previous life, with a stable salary, good benefits, and a high social status.
Not to mention that a genius like Alice can't just be an ordinary member when he enters the church, he must be trained as a high-level cadre reserve, and he will almost be able to enter the upper echelons of the church in the future, which is simply promising.
Merlin didn't want this little Lori to adopt Alice at the beginning, and now he treats Alice more as a sister, his sister can have a good future, how can he, who is an older brother, not support it, and don't let go.
It's a pity that he is bitter, although the demon contract was signed by him, but in the case of the intervention of the Abyss Mother, it is impossible to cancel this contract, otherwise Merlin would have terminated the contract as soon as he learned the identity of Alice's god.
But he really can't be lifted, he has applied for the lift several times, but the abyssal mother doesn't approve it at all, and has been pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Therefore, Alice's future church is decided.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that if it's just Merlin's kind of demon king-level contract, then the pope of the Templar Church, who is at the same level as the demon king, will be able to see that Alice is wrong, and judging from Alice's identity as the holder of the rare angel magic pattern, she has a chance to be summoned by the pope, so there is a high chance of being exposed on the spot.
But now that Mother Abyss intervened, the level of that contract was directly full, and now it was impossible to see Alice's strangeness unless the Lord of the Flame God descended to see it in person, but a mere mortal, even if it was the holder of the Angel Demon Pattern, could not have such a high level of treatment.
So for the time being, Merlin doesn't have to worry about what will happen after Alice's identity is revealed.
"Damn, why do I always have the feeling that I'm doing something bad, it's like arranging a spy villain to the forces of justice, as if there is some earth-shattering conspiracy."
After planning everything in his heart, Merlin complained a little speechlessly.
You see, this first abducted the god of the Lord of the Torch with a contract, and now he has inserted this god into the church as a shadow, this is simply the kind of villain who first snatches the child of a decent boss and adopts him, and when the child grows up, he sends him to be an undercover agent in a decent force, and finally laughs at this cannibalistic drama.
But he's really just a good law-abiding person, he doesn't plan to make any big news at all, everything he does is really for self-preservation, everything is forced by this fucking reality.
"Alas, unfortunate."
Merlin silently lamented in his heart.
