015, Jenkins' proposal
"You're blasphemy!" When it comes to the gods, such inconvenient and outspoken statements can be branded as blasphemy and put in the hands of the church's specialists. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sir, I have to remind you that this is an exchange of outstanding young white mages and not an exchange of outstanding young priests, if you are a priest, then leave here immediately, leave now."
The white mage opened his mouth to say something to refute Adam, but in the end there was nothing.
"It seems that you quite recognize your identity as a white mage, but I really didn't see it just now. From a mage's point of view, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I just said, and if there is, you can point it out right now. ”
"The essence of white magic is the gift of the Lord of the Dawn, and without the Lord of the Dawn you can't even release even a single white magic right now!"
"All I know is that the spell I cast came from the Light Energy, one of the two most fundamental energies in this world, not the Lord of the Dawn as you call it. And I have to remind you once again that only priests need to pray to the gods and offer their faith in exchange for the ability to cast spells, and I don't have to. ”
Master Bai trembled, pointed at Adam with his finger, and couldn't say a word.
"When this world was formed, when the two energies of light and darkness and the four elements were born together, white magic was in fact already there. I don't think the Lord of Dawn existed at the dawn of the world, after all, it wasn't him that people believed in during the time of the Ether Empire, but white magic was recognized as an important magical faction at that time. ”
Seeing that the other party was said to be powerless to refute, Adam took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"But I agree with your suggestion that the development of white magic should be in partnership with the Church of the Dawn."
Not only was the white mage puzzled, but the other white mages and Jenkins were also surprised, this didn't seem to be what Adam was supposed to say.
Sure enough, in the next second, they knew what Adam really meant.
"Magic and magic have something in common, and since some magic comes directly from a mage's list of spells, why can't you parse magic to get inspiration or even spell models to add new white magic. By the way, stealth is a good option. ”
"And most importantly, if you want to create your own spells, you must have your own ideas, if you don't even have the most basic thinking skills, how can you create new white magic."
After saying this, Adam felt refreshed, Jenkins had spoken well, but this group of white mages who were followers of the Dawn Church but embarked on the path of mages regarded this place as a place to preach their faith, which made him feel very disgusted.
Coupled with the fact that he already had an old grudge with the Dawn Church, Adam naturally had no scruples and said everything that the other white mages present wanted to say.
Silent.
The auditorium was silent, followed by thunderous applause.
Jenkins held his forehead, maybe the young mage really did him a great favor.
***
One hour later, the first day of the exchange meeting ended.
Basel came out of the auditorium with Adam almost as fast as he could.
"You're doing it like I'm about to get into big trouble." Adam grumbled dissatisfied.
"It's a big problem, and if you let the people of the Dawn Church Faith Council know about it, they will send you to a special prison."
"Young Master." Hearing Basel's words, Andrew quickly walked over to Adam's side and looked at Basel suspiciously.
"No big deal, we'll leave here early tomorrow morning."
"It's a really good idea." However, Basel felt that Adam was still a little impulsive just now, and he was really an adult family heir, not very mature.
As Adam continued to move forward, a figure stopped Adam, and when he looked closely, it was the young white mage who had been so spoken by Adam just now that he couldn't even speak.
"Listen, I don't know where you got the damn remarks, this is Frans, the Frans of the Church of the Dawn, and you will pay for your hubris." The White Mage yelled viciously at Adam.
Andrew's body emitted the momentum that a silver rank should have, and firmly suppressed this white mage, "Are you threatening the heir of the Vivian family?" ”
The momentum of a silver paladin made the white mage's face flush, his breathing became short, his legs were even weaker, and he almost fell to his knees.
"I ...... It's just that...... Just admonishing him. The young man struggled to get these words out of his mouth.
"It's better to be like this." Andrew made a gesture to retract his momentum, and the young man fled, stumbling as he left, and almost fell to the ground.
Basel glanced at Andrew, but he was really a knight who guarded the short. It is not surprising that Adam was young and immature, and that he said that in front of the Lord of the Dawn, the mage, and the believers.
However, even his Silver Guardian Knight was not polite to them at all, and it seemed that the Viven family in his mouth was really very powerful, so big that he was not afraid of the ordinary power of the Dawn Church.
Andrew sensed something, turned around, and saw a white-bearded mage walking this way.
"Master Jenkins, the initiator of this exchange." Basel hurriedly explained.
Jenkins nodded very politely to Adam and Andrew, and then looked at Basel: "Basel of the White family, a young man with very good talent, I heard your teacher mention you." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jenkins."
"And this young mage......"
"Adam, Adam Weaving."
Apparently Jenkins knew who was in charge of the group, and he suggested to Adam: "It's a wonderful remark, I don't know if we can simply exchange ideas, find a place, right now." ”
"No problem at all." Not knowing what Jenkins wanted to talk to him, Adam happily agreed.
Basel, on the other hand, said that there were still some things to take care of, and left first.
Ten minutes later, in a room in the auditorium, Adam, Andrew, and Jenkins were seated together.
"I wonder what Mr. Vivian thinks about the situation just now?" Jenkins poured a cup of black tea for both Adam and Andrew, and pulled out his wand and set up a silent barrier in the room, a bronze universal magic that could isolate all sounds in the room from being heard by others.
"There are no believers in the Church of the Dawn here, so I'll be blunt." Jenkins on the other side made a gesture of please, "This is my first time in Frans, and before I set out, I always thought that there was indeed a difference between the two professions of mage and priest, but after coming here, most mages and priests have no essential difference between them except for the source of power. ”
"Indeed, as you can see, some of the White Mages of Frans have quite a lot in common with the priests in many ways, especially in their belief in the Lord of the Dawn." Jenkins, the president of the White Robe Federation, was not shy at all at this time, and was not as restrained as he was in the exchange meeting, and directly pointed out the problem.
As he said, when the White Mages devoutly offered their faith to the Lord of the Dawn, they were not much different from the members of the Church of the Dawn.
Jenkins stared into Adam's eyes, "I wonder what you think about the fact that mages have faith?" ”
"Personally, I'm not against faith." An answer that Jenkins had not expected, he thought that Adam would be very disgusted by the fact that he had faith in a mage, just like he had just done at the exchange meeting.
What he didn't know was that Adam himself was a priest by profession, and that the spellcaster of this Templar faction also had faith in some way, a god in the game called the Dragon God of Light.
"I think faith and brainwashing are two different things, and it is more appropriate that the white mage who just mentioned that the essence of magic is a gift from the Lord of Dawn is not so much a fanatical believer in the Lord of Dawn as he is brainwashed." Adam took a sip of black tea and continued, "Personally, I respect anyone's beliefs, but I also want them to respect the fact that I don't have faith. ”
Jenkins smiled with joy: "You know what? Your views are surprisingly consistent with mine. It's not terrible for a white mage to have faith, but it's terrible to lose oneself because of faith. ”
"Now it seems that there are not many white mages in the whole of France who have begun to lose their ability to think for themselves because of their faith, and if they are the best white mages in France, I dare say that twenty years later I dare not even see a real white mage in the land of Frans. And what makes me the strangest is that the Alliance Silver Tower, who is a white mage of Ypropler, hasn't said anything about this? ”
Jenkins was disappointed to hear Adam mention the Silver Tower: "Actually, the Church of the Dawn's control of faith is not limited to Frans, there is a similar situation in the Silver Tower. ”
The Silver Tower, which claims to be the entire World White Mage Alliance, was actually infiltrated by the Dawn Church in terms of faith, and this news shocked Adam a lot.
Seeing Adam's look of disbelief, Jenkins continued: "From your words and deeds, it can be seen that you don't have any good feelings for the Church of the Dawn, and even a little hostile, plus you are a white mage yourself, so I don't worry about leaking these things out to you. In fact, the so-called exchange of outstanding young white mages is just a pretense, and my real purpose is to observe the attitude of the younger generation of white mages towards the Lord of Dawn through some controversial topics. ”
"How did it turn out?"
"Pretty bad." Jenkins sighed, "If this situation continues, you can't see even one white mage as you just mentioned. Under the pressure of the three successor states of Sithor now, the Church of the Dawn is not without success, at least he has done a very good job in controlling the White Mage in the country and even infiltrating the Silver Tower. ”
"So......" Jenkins looked at Adam and said the ultimate goal, "Adam, are you interested in joining us, we are not directly fighting against the Church of the Dawn, how about working together for the White Mage group?" ”
