Chapter Ninety-Eight: Best Supporting Actor, Please
"Exactly."
Hearing the round-faced inquiry, Fang Zheng pretended to be very "straightforward" and nodded.
"During this operation, I fought two mages by chance. I was very impressed with the magic they wielded, and I thought that in order to learn how magic works, I had to understand how magic works, so I did plan to study magic........."
"I see."
Before Fang Zheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by the round and chubby face, his smile became brighter and brighter, and the thin bamboo pole next to him frowned, looking at the fat round face with a dissatisfied expression. As for Bishop Karl, who was between the two, his eyes were still slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
"I've heard Grand Knight Stone say that you have a very deep knowledge and understanding of the Light, and you are also able to use the power of the Light skillfully. So now that you are going to study magic, do you think that the Holy Light is not as good as magic? ”
"That's not what I meant, Your Lord."
Hearing the rhetorical question of the fat round face, Fang Zheng "changed his complexion slightly" and defended himself.
"I think the Light and magic have different strengths in different fields, and if you can learn that.........
"I see what you mean."
At this time, the thin bamboo pole wanted to say something, but as soon as he spoke, the fat round face smiled and grabbed ahead of him again.
"It's very rare for you to have such an understanding, indeed, whether it is magic or holy light, they are both forces that belong to the same order. I think your idea is very good, so let's do it, I personally agree to your request, and I will also let you enter the White Tower of Heaven to study magic, would you like to? ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Fang Zheng really showed a happy expression at this time, and hurriedly thanked him. The thin bamboo pole next to him looked at Fang Zheng with the expression of a police officer who saw the victim of fraud, and then sighed helplessly.
"What do you two think?"
The chubby face smiled more and more happily at this moment, and he turned his head to look at Bishop Carl and the thin bamboo pole beside him. And the thin bamboo pole frowned, wanting to say something. But unfortunately, at this time, Bishop Karl also seemed to wake up, he just looked at Fang Zheng quietly, and only nodded slightly after a while.
"Since I agree, then I have no opinion."
"Me too."
Maybe it was because he was robbed several times when he wanted to speak, and at this time, the thin bamboo pole also looked like he was in a mood, he shook his head, glanced at Fang Zheng, and then nodded directly in agreement.
"Then it's decided."
After receiving an affirmative answer from the other two bishops, the chubby round face looked at Fang Zheng again with a grin.
"The Bishopric has agreed to your request, and it just so happens that the investigating mages of the Heavenly White Pagoda are here these days, and they will take you into the Heavenly White Pagoda to study. And the spirit crystals you need, we'll have them ready. Now, you can leave. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Hearing the words of the fat round face, Fang Zheng saluted the three respectfully with an "excited" smile, and then turned to leave. And when Fang Zheng left the hall, he finally couldn't help but clench his fists.
It worked!
Although the smile on the fat round face is very amiable, but Fang Zheng is not good at stubble, the management has been doing it for so many years, how can he not know what the other party is thinking?
What is the most important thing for a company, an organization, a force?
Competence and loyalty!
Ability can be without, after all, geniuses are always in the minority, but loyalty is the most important part of all organizational forces. And loyalty not only refers to loyalty to a certain person, but also whether both parties have common values, common interests, and common goals. Because these are the only cornerstones that maintain loyalty and will not betray. It's the same for an organization as small as a country.
On the surface, the fat round face is right, the temple is the guardian of order, and the holy light and magic are both part of the order, so learning the holy light or learning magic is ostensibly for the sake of order, and there is no difference.
But that's what it means to deceive three-year-olds.
If it's really that different, then why don't the Contemplative Sanctuary and the Heavenly White Tower merge? Looking at Stone like that, the temple and the White Tower didn't beat the human brain out of the dog's brain.
And the reason why the fat round face did this, Fang Zheng also knew very well, as long as he agreed to his conditions, then it meant that Fang Zheng would no longer have the possibility of promotion in the temple in the future!
To put it bluntly, as an employee, Founder did not identify with the company's corporate culture, nor did he have a sufficient sense of belonging to the group, and at the same time disagreed with his superiors. For example, the company clearly plans to use all its resources to make a sequel to a popular FPS game, but you just feel that the FPS game is going to lose money, and you should make an RTS ......... Which leader do you think will reuse such an employee? It's all luck that you didn't find a chance to lay you.
On the Baita side, the other party may be unusually concerned at first, but Fang Zheng can be sure that they will not give themselves too much trust. Because he was a Templar after all, and he was likely to be the only Templar who came to learn magic, this identity doomed Fang Zheng to be equally impossible to be promoted to the top of the mage.
If it were a different person, the poisonous trick of a fat round face would be insidious, and a person would not be able to get out for the rest of his life. But for Founder, it's just fantastic!
I love you so much, bro!! Is it simply an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?
Although on the surface, wall grasses like Founder will be disliked by both sides, but the reason why wall grasses are disliked is precisely because they are wall grass. But when the wall grass becomes a towering tree, there is no question of whether it is disliked.
Fang Zheng was reluctant to get too close to the temple, nor was he willing to get too close to the White Tower, so the identity of Erwuzai Wallhead Grass was the most suitable for him. If something goes wrong, he can also decisively abandon the temple and the White Tower, and even make enemies of them without any psychological burden. Otherwise, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, people are so good to you, you can't say it if you don't reciprocate.
Of course, Fang Zheng also knew that the so-called fiefdom of himself must be out of play. It is impossible for the Templars to hand over their territory to a knight who has gone out to learn magic, otherwise what if those mages take over the magpie's nest. But that's fine, he didn't plan to ask for that fief in the first place. After all, I'm still waiting to open a copy to cross, and when the time comes, I'll be gone for dozens of days and more than half a year, where will I have the time to deal with any fiefdom affairs? And a long disappearance will also arouse suspicion, so it is better to be free, so that even if it disappears, it is easy to explain, right?
And at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Is that the decision you made?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng stopped, he turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw Bishop Karl slowly step out of the shadows, looking at him.
"Bishop Karl."
Fang Zheng was not surprised by the appearance of Bishop Karl. When he was fighting the six-armed snake demon before, he used several powers in a row, and Bishop Karl must have been around at that time, since the six-armed snake demon Bella could feel the aura on his body, then Bishop Karl must have also noticed this.
"You chose to leave the temple, can you tell me why?"
It's clear that Fang Zheng is smart, and Carl is not stupid.
"I'm just an ordinary person."
Hearing Karl's inquiry, Fang Zheng sighed, and then looked into the old bishop's deep eyes.
"To be honest, I don't have the same level of consciousness as my mentor or the Grand Knight of Marte, and more than half of the mercenaries I went with died in the battle that day, although I know that they were all paid and paid, but ......... I'm really not very good at taking people to death. ”
"Every man has to have the courage to face his responsibilities."
"I've let you down, the world is too big, my hands are too small......... I've done my best to protect the people I know around me. ”
"You're still young, after all."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the old bishop was silent for a moment.
"Anyway, willfulness and persistence are the prerogatives of young people, and sometimes it is not a kind of cowardice to escape, at least you can clearly understand the weight of responsibility. This is much better than those fools who are immersed in sweet dreams but do not understand the meaning of responsibility......... I have only one request, I hope you can stand on the side of order and never bow to chaos. ”
“……… I'll do my best. ”
"Good."
The old bishop looked satisfied at Fangzheng's answer, and then he nodded and turned away, melting into the shadows again.
"Don't worry over there in the White Tower, I'll let an old friend of mine take care of you......... Try to grow up, kid. ”
