Chapter 10: Anger
"Lord Anika is not worried about my lack of ability, and you are negotiating to give me the task to deal with, but you are questioning my strength, can I think that this Lord is questioning Lord Anika's decision, or that you think you are wiser and greater than Lord Anika?"
-for-tat, Xiu'er's words did not leave any emotion, and every sentence hid a trap of punishment, which was enough to embarrass the other party, so that several people present looked at Xiuer with very surprised eyes.
They have all heard Archbishop Minnie and Archbishop Orlana introduce Schul to this person, and have also studied what he did, in their opinion, Schul knows how to advance and retreat, will grasp the measure, and knows how to compromise, like several of them, is a mature and experienced clergyman, can deal with anything calmly, to achieve the goal as the highest priority, in order to achieve the goal, can retreat, can be roundabout, not only care about temporary gains and losses, can even give up a part of the interests, through a win-win way, the collaborators are firmly bound to their sideγ
The things that Shul had done before were a good proof of this, so they originally thought that even if Aloma, a headache-inducing wood elf, was aggressive, Shul would not choose to clash head-on.
Well, he must know who Aloma is, and he knows how to deal with this madman with superior ability, which several high-ranking priests can guess without thinking, otherwise he would not have taken such a tough approach.
However, there is still a difference between toughness and head-on conflict, and from Shuer's previous performance, it seems that he can have countless ways to leave room for the other side on the basis of remaining tough, so that the embarrassment can be resolved in the end. But he didn't do this, but chose the most direct and ruthless method to go back head-on, and even hid the murderous intention in every sentence, as if he wanted to put the other party to death with a word.
If it was still in the era of chaos and there was no covenant of the Temple of the Gods, the two sides should have reached the verge of declaring war by now, he was just a priest with gold-level strength, wouldn't he be worried...... Oh, I heard several strong people in the Rose Capital mention that he could use some way to forcibly increase his strength, and now that he was bound by the covenant, he really didn't have to worry about his own safety, this cunning young man must know it well in his heart, but he still didn't need to clash head-on, which was not in line with his usual style.
Unless, he's angry? Who messed with him?
Hey, I know, but I'm not going to tell you.
The smart Lisa saw the doubts in the eyes of these people, calm on the surface but secretly snickered inside, the girl was not worried about Shuer being hurt at all, on the one hand, she didn't know who Aloma was, on the other hand, the elder brother was the most powerful, his judgment would not be wrong, his choice would not be wrong, since he dealt with it like this, it means that he was sure to deal with the situation, hehe, the great Lisa does not have to worry about it.
"Hehe, Aloma, calm down. Finding that his friend and fellow fellow of the same god were choked by Shur for a long time without speaking, clenching his fists as if he was about to explode at any moment, Archbishop Minnie of the Forest Temple had his eyes half-closed, as if listening to something, and only then did he get up and pat Aloma on the shoulder, calling her back from the brink of an outburst, "You said the wrong thing, sister, the young man is angry. β
"Am I wrong, and you think I shouldn't question it?" Aloma glared at Minnie with an annoyed expression, "You also think I'm questioning the majesty of the Mother Forest?"
"Yes, what, dissatisfied?" sighed secretly, this guy is good at everything, but he is too impulsive, and he often doesn't use his brain before talking and doing things, if there is not a chief priest in the flower temple to control the situation, I don't know what kind of chaos I want her to make. However, Minnie did not show the sigh in her heart, but raised her eyebrows, pinched Aloma's face and snorted coldly, "I am not satisfied, bear it." β
"Hmph, Lin Jing is a bunch of stupid people. The servant of the flowers calmed down, glared at Shure fiercely, opened Minnie's hand and returned to his seat, leaving only a sentence like a child's anger.
With a triumphant smile on her face, Minnie secretly winked at Shuer, and from this naughty behavior, it seemed that she could see the shadow that belonged to Lin Jing. Tsk, Lin Jing really deserves to be Lin Jing, even if she disguises it well, she will reveal her true nature from time to time, it seems that when she was young thousands of years ago, she would not be a worry-free guy, just like a certain deer.
"Well, Lord Shure, you don't have to be so hostile, Aloma was unintentional and not malicious just now. Well, you know, I'm referring to the fact that she said in front of Archbishop Lisa that you were the de facto master of the Darkmoon Temple, and that it wasn't worth being hostile to each other for such a thing, and if you felt offended, then, Archbishop Lisa, I apologize to you on Aloma's behalf. β
How does she know?
Shuer was stunned, he was indeed angry at this sentence, so he would take the strongest way. Even if it's true, it's okay to think about this kind of thing secretly, and it's not appropriate to say it, especially in front of Lisa, just like pointing at Lisa and saying that you are a puppet in front of her, which will not only hurt Lisa's self-esteem, but also is very suspicious of provoking the relationship between the two.
It's no problem for me, but even Lisa has been affected, so don't blame me for not being able to bear it, the cutest sister in the world, I can't bear to bully myself, it's your turn to bully?
So Shul was very dissatisfied, but how could Minnie know? No, she seemed to be listening to someone...... Hell, it's the stupid deer outside, the two of them have communicated in some special way of forest spirits, and Moria's guy can guess his mind the most, and she must have explained it to Minnie.
"Huh?" Aloma tilted her head, blank, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
She really didn't know anything, how did she sit in the position of archbishop for so many years with such dull sensitivity. For a moment, Shul was no longer angry, but just looked at Aloma with pity, as if mourning her intelligence.
"Alas, Aloma, you better stop talking, it's too embarrassing for the clergy. Even Archbishop Orlana couldn't stand it anymore and sighed deeply. In fact, everyone here didn't pay much attention to Aloma's words, although it was indeed a bit rude, but it would not cause conflict, but unfortunately, everyone still underestimated Shuer's heart for Lisa's protection, and after Minnie's reminder, he understood the reason. Knowing where the problem is, at least an old friend like Orlana can ease the mood, "I'm sorry, Lisa-sama, Aloma didn't mean to offend, I hope you can forgive her for her inadvertent mistake." β
Everyone has the same status, they are all servants of the gods, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, so Orlana and Minnie's apology is not out of status, but it is ......
"Oranna, you say the same?" Aloma scratched her head, and the question almost materialized from the top of her head, alas, it seemed that her sensitivity was really out of luck.
"I'm curious, though. Orlana glanced at Minnie and Aloma's faces with a smirk, "It's the first time I've heard of Lord Anika's mission, and it's a very important task to keep the news so tight." β
"Hehe, Orana, you're too good at joking, it's just a very ordinary task. Minnie knew everything about it, but just smiled and said, "Irrelevant little tasks, hehehehe." β
"Yes, it's ordinary enough for Maika Forest to change its 10,000-year-old tradition of accepting the temple of the alien god to settle in, and also offering to help. β
"The Lord's enthusiasm is evident and will not refuse the presence of any friendly church. "This is nonsense with your eyes open, if that were the case, there would already be hundreds of shrine halls in the forest.
"Praise the Lord, holy. Smiling meaningfully, Orlana didn't bother to pay attention to the sincere Minnie and the smirk-filled Aloma, the three of them had been friends for many years, so they naturally knew each other, knowing that they couldn't ask anything, and the archbishop was too lazy to waste time, so he bowed slightly to Shul and Lisa, "Come, Lord Lisa, Your Excellency Shure, here are the seats for the two." β
A table, nine chairs, nine people just filled, not even more chairs, no less, it seems that this old fox has already decided that he and Lisa will attend, tsk, sure enough, no one can underestimate the high-level people in the clergy, well, except for the archbishop who is still full of inexplicability, it seems that she still hasn't figured out what went wrong, or just gave up.
"Let me introduce you, Minnie, Aloma, you already know each other, hehe, although the process is not pleasant. Using ridicule to close the distance, Orlana took the initiative to introduce the two of them like a diligent host, "This is Professor Melda, from the Temple of Knowledge. β
The Faculty of the Temple of Knowledge is more special, more like an academic institution, and the highest head is called a professor, there are three of them, one of the two masters, just as some large churches are divided into one archbishop and several cardinals.
Maida must have been eighty or ninety years old, and even though the Parvadiga had lived a little longer than Shur's world, this age had reached the end of his life, and his sparse beard and hair had already turned snow-white, and when he opened his mouth, he could see that his teeth had fallen out a lot, and he sat there with his eyes half-closed, looking drowsy. There is nothing special about this, just what an old man should look like, what is special is that he is actually an ordinary person.
If you want to become a priest, you must at least first become a warlord, this is the custom of Pavadiga, otherwise, you can only think that Tarina, like Meria before, has spent her entire life serving the gods in the church as a priest and nun. But this old man is an outlier, and he actually became the supreme leader of the church as an ordinary person.
"The Temple of Knowledge and the Temple of Wisdom are two special cases, after all, the dissemination of knowledge to increase wisdom is not about strength, but about the mind. The old man opened his eyes, and there was a faint light of wisdom in his seemingly dim eyes, and the old man's voice was low and slow, "Actually, I don't need to explain at all, I guess Your Excellency has long been aware of these things." Hehe, first meeting, Your Excellency Shuer, I have admired Your Excellency for a long time. β
