Chapter Ninety-Six: Return to the Temple
The brief sigh was put aside first, and then after two days of searching, it was determined that there was no problem with the dark swamp, and then Fang Zheng left with Stone and them. Of course, the most important thing in this is to use Nimfu's search ability, after all, the black technology produced by the little angel from Sinapus is also superb in this regard.
Riding on the Pegasus, everyone returned to the temple exhausted, but unfortunately, the grand welcome ceremony expected by Stone did not appear, only a few priests stationed in the temple came out to greet them, according to them, now the temple's manpower is almost pouring out of the Order Fortress, fortunately, due to the timely news, the situation of the Order Fortress has now stabilized, at least there is no need to worry about being broken in a short time.
"Peaceful life, ........."
Sitting on the chair and looking at the scenery outside the window, Fang Zheng also let out a long breath. They are currently located in the headquarters of the Northern Alliance, and unlike the exquisite and beautiful architectural features of Star Moon City, the temple buildings here are also full of northern characteristics of fierceness and wildness.
The more he learned about the temple, the more Fang Zheng found that this organization was different from any religion in his impression, and in Fang Zheng's memory, no matter what religion, he always wanted to build his church as if it were printed in a mold, and not only that, but they also wanted their followers to be printed in a mold......... Well, from this point of view, in Fangzheng's view, the so-called religion on the earth is actually an assembly line manufacturing factory, mass production of puppet believers with the same ideas, mass production of the same style of churches, mass production of the same style of uniforms, mass production of priests with the same sexual fetishes.........
And their teachings are similar, such as the garden, the pedophile paradise, and the house of Our Lady......... Anyway, it's all anti-human goods.
However, the temples of this world do not seem to be like this, and their temples are not as similar as Fang Zheng thought, on the contrary, the buildings of the northern temples look no different from those ordinary buildings in the northern style outside, but they are larger and more eye-catching, and then they have a temple logo. If you look at it from the outside, Fang Zheng can't tell that this building has any blood relationship with the temple of Starmoon City.
I have to say that this temple has done a good job of following the local customs.
However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Looking at the scenery outside, Fang Zheng couldn't help but squint his eyes, recalling what Stone had said to him before.
"You kid should know that the big knights have their own fiefdoms, of course, the knight collar is only a knight chief, and we big knights can only get to the level of a small town at most. But what......... In order to 'commend' your heroic sacrifice, the Bishops' Conference is not too harsh, so they have made Silverflower a fief for your knights. That place is a transportation artery, convenient and developed, and there is a lot of oil and water? Originally, according to the record, you were 'dead' and had no offspring, so you were 'trusted' by the bishopric, but now you're back......... Hehe, you know what I mean. โ
Of course I do.
Fang Zheng was also a high-level leader in his previous life, so he naturally knew how embarrassing it was, just like he knew that it was impossible for a programming ape to make a game engine that met the requirements, but he still asked him to do it, and he also announced in public that he would be the chairman, but the other party actually did it......... Do you want to have the face of being a leader anymore?
But that's right, it's normal for an organization to compete for power and profit, and all of them respect each other like guests or something......... It's horrible!
Perhaps for ordinary employees, it is best to work together and in harmony with the whole company. But for leaders, a group is too boring if it doesn't compete with each other. In fact, Founder has also done things between the planning team and the personality team more than once, and sometimes pulls the program team in. Rather than forcing them to work hard, it is better to use this competition to motivate their sense of confrontation.
After all, if they are forced to work, they will resent the company regardless of the outcome, but if it is competition, they will just look at their competitors and goals. And where there are rewards, there are punishments, which is a reasonable allocation of resources.
Although the level of force in this world is much higher than that of the world where Fang Zheng is located, there is actually no difference when it comes to personnel, so Fang Zheng knows very well that his current situation is not good. On the one hand, the bishopric at that time gave itself a particularly wealthy town in order to show their "generosity", but everyone knew that they were dead and had no heirs, so for the bishops' conference, this was also a "left hand to right hand". On the one hand, he did not suffer any losses, and on the other hand, he showed that the bishopric had "clear rewards and punishments".
Of course, looking at the smugness with which Stone talked about this, Fang Zheng knew that he must have played a disgraceful role in it, although Stone kept complaining to himself that "those old men don't believe that you are still alive", but Fang Zheng estimated that he could guess that Stone definitely thought that he could come back, so he deliberately induced such a result. Anyway, as long as he comes back, then the reward of the bishopric will still be his!
After all, others don't know what his identity is, so can Stone still not know? Didn't he think of himself as some kind of Holy Spirit Knight for a long time?
Right now.........
"What a headache.........
Fang Zheng reached out and pressed his forehead, he was now waiting for the bishopric to summon him, although Stone assured himself that there was no problem. But Fang Zhengke knew that things were not as simple as Stone thought, people were animals that seek advantages and avoid harm, although the Archbishop Karl also promised to help him with a few kind words, but the friendship of others is not enough.
What's more, Founder himself is also a little hesitant about the next road.
Because Fang Zheng didn't particularly want to accept this reward.
For Stone, this reward is a good thing, but Fang Zheng thinks deeper. For if he accepts the reward, it will show that his relationship with the temple will be deeper.
Of course, if Fang Zheng was to put it bluntly, it was that he was afraid that the Templars would send him to die.
This does not mean that the temple wants to eradicate dissidents or deliberately send itself to death. In fact, from the performance of Marte and Stone, it can be seen that the reason why they have been able to reach their current position is not only their strength, but also their consciousness.
To put it mildly, it is โโโ consciousness of sacrificing one's life for the better life of the people and for the preservation of order!
In fact, this is also a matter of course, if you want to join the organization and become a high-level leader, you must follow the leadership of the organization, maintain the articles of association, and dedicate yourself to the organization.
If Fang Zheng had grown up in this world and received a humanistic education here, then maybe he would have really had this idea.
But alas......... Fang Zheng is an outsider! He doesn't have the mental consciousness to die for this world, and maybe in the future, with the passage of time, he will gradually change his mind. However, that's definitely not now!
Besides, most of the people in this world are blonde and blue-eyed, and they don't seem to have the slightest nostalgia for their fellows.
Therefore, compared to Stone, Fang Zheng actually didn't particularly want to accept the position and identity of this great knightโโโ he really didn't care about sacrificing his life to save order.
But if he refuses, then he will definitely leave a bad impression on Stone and Marte, after all, the two sides have different values and live in different worlds. Of course, this can be regarded as Founder's own doing. If only he hadn't joined the temple to disguise his identity, but now it's like this......... Who is to blame?
It must be the fault of Shi Chen!
Silently cursing the guy who didn't know where he was, Fang Zheng retracted his thoughts again. Naturally, there is no way, and if everything goes well, you can also achieve your goal. Now he just doesn't know what's going on inside the bishopric, and if you think about it from his own experience, well.........
"Knock knock."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Fang Zheng's thoughts. He looked up and glanced at the door.
"Please come in."
"Click."
The door opened, and a nun entered, bowing respectfully to Fang Zheng, and then speaking.
"Your Excellency, the Bishops, are waiting for you."
"Okay, I see, thanks."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng stood up and nodded to the nun with a smile. Then he glanced out the windowโโโ in the courtyard, where Nimfu was leaning against an evergreen tree, smiling happily with the squirrel in her hand.
That's the look a little guy of this age should have.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the nun in front of him again.
"Please lead the way."
Perhaps because of the tension on the front line now, there were only three members of the bishopric who appeared in front of Fang Zheng this time, one of them was the vampire bishop Carl who Fang Zheng had already seen before, and the other two were a fat round face and a thin bamboo poleโโโ since they didn't plan to introduce themselves, then don't blame Fang Zheng for giving them code names.
Fang Zheng walked into the hall, came to the front of the three of them, and saluted them, and the three of them also nodded, and then the thin bamboo pole picked up a document in front of him and looked at it a few times, and then asked.
"You're the trainee guardian knight of Star-Moon City, Fangzheng?"
"Yes."
Fang Zheng raised his head and replied as he looked at the three of them. Bishop Carl was very calm, his thin bamboo pole expression was a little serious, only the fat round face grinning seemed to be very kind, but Fang Zheng could keenly detect what was hidden under the other party's smile.
In Fangzheng's experience, when a person smiles at you for no reason, he is either asking for you, or he is hiding his true feelings.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly in his heart.
He already had an idea.
