The Templars' plan was to suppress the collection of antidote materials, at least until they had already entered the central part of the Duchy of Patrick, but Chen Qinghe's second rapid attack after leaving the City of Art disrupted the plan.

That's obviously a bad sign.

Realizing the potential danger implied by this sign, the Templar Order's decision was very decisive: the plan would continue as usual, and if it really didn't work, they would abandon Chen Qinghe, and everything would be based on Norman's safety, and it would never be exposed. On this point, they were very similar to Norman, and they both agreed that it would not be a good thing to get involved in the royal dispute, which would complicate the situation and put Norman in danger.

But Norman had a different idea at that time.

The man, who had grown into a complete egoist under the tutelage of the Templars, was shaken by his first friendship: although he was reluctant to reveal his identity to save Chen Qinghe, he insisted on immediately starting to collect materials for the antidote, and argued with Lancelot about it.

"According to the current situation in the kingdom, the legation of the Holy Maiden has arrived in Santa Vita, but the king has not yet been elected, and it is clear that there is a great upheaval in Santa Vita. Whether it is the Regent's side or the Father's side, at this critical moment, there should not be too much energy and manpower to search for Norman throughout the north, and the danger factor should not be as great as imagined. ”

This was the first reason Norman found for his decision at that time, and it was analyzed from the kingdom level.

The second basis for his actions is to analyze it from the enemy's point of view.

"Now there are two main hostile forces in us, one is the force represented by the Queen Regent, which is outright hostile, and the other is the power of the Father's Cult, which is a friendly 'hostile force'. But no matter which force it is, I believe that the information collected by me is very comprehensive. ”

"They must all know that I found the flaw in the Aether Labyrinth in the first place, and miraculously cracked this powerful ** technique in such an inexplicable way as walking, and they must also know that I have another great deed, that is, the invention of printing, which has not yet been known by too many people, and reflects my outstanding wisdom, after all, this is a great initiative that can push the strength of the entire kingdom to a higher level in all aspects! As for others, such as the unique structure of the Mankaheim Chamber of Commerce, I believe that the more they know about me, the more they can feel the light of my wisdom everywhere. ”

It has to be said that under the special teaching of the Templars, Norman not only walked steadily on the path of egoism, but also grew thicker, even if he boasted about himself, he was not embarrassed to attribute the merits of the Templar Order to himself.

Of course, from the perspective of those who don't know the secrets of his body, this is indeed true.

"How could they be so naïve as to think that I would not be able to see such a simple trap in the image of a wise man like me, and yet I had obediently fallen into the trap set by Stanley, and by normal logic, they would have doubted that such a wise man as me could have made such a lowly mistake? Of course, with the intelligence of those big people, it is likely that they will think a little deeper, and they will think that if I am not taking advantage of their mentality, I am actually going this way?......"

"If you keep thinking about it like this, layer upon layer, there will be no end at all, just like the 'empty city plan' you once told me. And because of Chen Qinghe's Ji Ruoxi's existence, if they really wanted to come out of me, they would definitely guess that we would go to the Northland Realm at the first time, and the direction of the route we showed at this time was just the same as their guess, because my image of a wise man would make them doubt their judgment even more--Will all this really go so smoothly? They guessed my wise man's mind so easily, so they will be even more shaken. ”

"So, if I expose a little bit of information appropriately, not only will it not increase the risk, but it will make us safer: if I had been quiet, they might have really increased their search on the route they have identified, but if I was very cooperative at this time, it would have made them not dare to pay too much attention here......"

Lancelot had no time describing his expression at Norman's words, he only knew that it would be exciting, and he believed that the expressions of his senior colleagues in the Templar Order would also be wonderful.

They only knew that Norman was growing up very fast, but they didn't expect Norman to grow up so fast! And all this, Norman usually didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, and only then did he show it to them without reservation.

Of course, this does not mean that Norman has grown to surpass the elite of the Templar Order, but it is enough for them to look at this Mister Sage again with an equal eye - I have to admit that all along, the people of the Templar Order, including Lancelot, although they say that Norman is supreme, but in fact, deep down they look down on this natives of another world.

Especially Lancelot.

Lancelot and Gawain are essentially the same, both use Norman as a plaything and puppet, but Levin is still shallow and blatantly wants to control everything, Lancelot City is very deep, and secretly manipulates everything under the banner of "Norman Lord Supremacy", and the two are not at the same level at all, so Lancelot easily forced Gawain to take the throne smoothly.

When poor Gawain left, he thought that Lancelot was too obsessed, but he didn't know that Lancelot felt that he was too naïve.

But at this moment, Lancelot couldn't help but feel shocked from the bottom of his heart.

For him and the Knights Templar, the scene before him was much more shocking than the forbidden spell, like a monkey with a nuclear bomb and a monkey, but a man with a stick was a human.

The seeds sown by modern civilization in the backward Middle Ages are breaking through the ground and growing vigorously at an incredible speed, and this terrifying growth rate has forced the human elites who claim to be advanced modern civilized societies to lower their proud eyes and begin to face them squarely......

Lancelot was no ordinary person after all, and after the shock, he immediately thought about Norman's words.

Norman was able to think of wonderful things, but they didn't think out of their plans - they had thought about them.

But their final decision to adopt another option has said a lot: Norman only mentions the possibilities, but does not digitize the possibilities, and they digitize everything for risk assessment, and the numbers tell them that they should choose another shrinking solution, which is a huge team advantage in a modern civilized society with a complete range of subjects and a refined division of labor.

But Lancelot did not continue to persuade Norman.

He saw that everything Norman said was just the reason he gave himself, and the most fundamental reason why he decided to start collecting materials for the production of the antidote in advance was because of his feelings for Chen Qinghe, so no matter how much he tried to persuade him with rational analysis, it was useless.

Because Norman was a man.

What is a person?

Man is a rational animal, but since he is an animal, he cannot get rid of his emotional instincts, and the same is true of Norman.

Admittedly, the Templars were shaped into something wrong, and although they were largely successful, they failed to completely mold Norman into the kind of person they had hoped for.

Norman's sense of autonomy was far stronger than they had assessed.
