"Fauber," Mephistopheles took a sip of the somewhat bitter tea, and instructed the old butler, "You should be more attentive to the protection of the outposts and the supervision of the Knights of the Champions, and tell me if you find anything." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"The old servant understood. ”

Fox bowed to the order, a hesitant look on his face.

"Oh, there's a problem with this?"

Mephistopheles wondered how the old butler behaved, and wondered if it was the Knights of Champions who were doing something behind their backs.

"Nothing difficult, just ......"

"Don't be so careful, Fauber, just say it. ”

"Yes, then the old servant has transgressed. The old servant doesn't understand why he should focus his attention on the Champion Knights, didn't they tell us all their purpose, do you think they will hide something?"

The struggle on his face flashed, remembering the importance and courtesy that Count Chenault had expressed to him just now, the old butler who was moved in his heart couldn't care about the idea of protecting himself in the past, and directly said his opinion: "In the humble opinion of the old servant, the Dawn Temple should be the top priority to keep an eye on. After all, the adults also said that they have other plans here, but we still don't know what their purpose is, isn't this too passive?"

"Passive?"

The corners of Mephistopheles' mouth rose slightly, and he already understood what Fawkes meant. The old butler was still afraid that he would not be tempted by Bishop Kalian, so he questioned his orders.

Mephistopheles didn't mean to be angry about this, but was very satisfied with the other party's performance.

As a demon who explores the nature of desire, Mephistopheles knows that his subordinates are living people, not a bunch of data that can be changed arbitrarily. They are loyal to themselves, but this does not prevent them from expressing their loyalty while carrying some private goods because of their own interests.

The devil never breaks his mind about such things, because he knows that this is called the human heart. It is precisely because of this that he has never had too high requirements for his subordinates, as long as he does not cross the red line in his heart, all small actions are within the permissible range.

If he didn't even dare to accept this little variable, what qualifications did he have to play with the gods?

And human beings are great because their nobility sometimes overrides the desires hidden in the depths of the soul, thus revealing the true brilliance of humanity, and now Fawkes's proposal is a slight manifestation of this brilliance.

How could the old butler not know how much temptation it was to become a vote-maker, and how could he not know how much benefit these retainers would gain from becoming a vote-of-elect? But he still persuaded Count Chenault again and again, that he was afraid that his lord would fall into some kind of trap.

This is a completely thankless task, if it is Count Cheno's blatant rejection of the proposal of the Temple of Dawn, it is nothing, if it is known that it is he Fawkes who persuaded Count Cheno's refusal, then the old butler's offended character will be gone.

Not only the rumors from the outside world and the hostility of the Dawn Temple, but even the other knights and retainers would be resentful of him.

What's more, if it is finally confirmed that there is no problem with the invitation to the Temple of Dawn, then the mistake made by Fawkes cannot be solved with a sentence of "multi-heartedness", and it is certain that he will be turned over by his own lord.

"Don't worry, Fauber, I'm not as short-sighted as you think. It's impossible for me to accept the other party's invitation, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. ”

Taking another sip of tea, Mephistopheles, who soothed her dry throat, continued: "As for why the focus of defense is on the Knights of Champions, it is because I have the opposite opinion from you, we already have a basic understanding of the purpose of the Temple of Dawn, but we still don't know anything about the Knights of Champions. ”

After a few words, Mephistopheles not only took all the rejection of the temple on herself, but also briefly explained the purpose of his orders.

Not handing over risks to subordinates is a rule that the monarch must keep in mind, not to reflect the goodness of the monarch, but to prevent future changes in people's minds.

Once his subordinates take the risk for the monarch, then the monarch owes a favor. Affection debt is the most difficult debt to define, because the desires in people's hearts are endless.

This is also the reason why Mephistopheles's previous monarchs had to find excuses to kill heroes after gaining power, and the ungrateful monarch preferred to use a butcher's knife to solve everything than a favor that was difficult to repay.

What's more, even if the monarch is magnanimous, his subordinates may not appreciate it.

If the subordinates fail to do what they are doing, then the subordinates will feel that they are carrying the infamy on behalf of the monarch, and not only should they not be punished, but they should also be promoted.

If he is still hostile to the people around him because of this at this time, then his mentality is likely to be unbalanced because of this.

Once the mentality is unbalanced, no matter how much the monarch gives, it is also what he deserves, and once the monarch does not meet the expectations in his heart, it is possible for him to do anything driven by desire, and changing the court is probably the lightest choice.

If this thing succeeds, then the monarch is equivalent to owing his subordinates two favors, and in this case, it is not normal for the other party's mentality to be unbalanced, right?

Left and right is just a matter of being suspected by others, so why let your subordinates take risks for this?

In Mephistopheles's view, loyalty is only premised on the fact that the price of betrayal is not enough, or that the desire in his heart is not really aroused, and he never believes that there is a loyalty that can make others lose themselves, just as he never believes that pie will fall from the sky.

While Fawkes's words moved Fawkes's heart, they also caused him to wonder: "Forgive the old servant for being stupid, the words of the lord are a little ........"

"Strange?"

"Yes. ”

"Don't you think there's anything wrong with this visit to the temple?" Mephistopheles asked with interest.

"This ...... Sounds reasonable. ”

Knowing his lord's attitude towards the Temple of Dawn, Fawkes also let go of the worries in his heart, and he first vaguely praised Mephistopheles with the help of the temple's words, and then said his true feelings: "Although it sounds reasonable, the old servant always feels that their description is superficial, and the bishop named Kalian speaks too vaguely and conceals a lot between words, so the old servant thinks that there is something wrong with them." ”

"Not bad. ”

Mephiss nodded in approval, his youthful countenance and his well-fashioned movements not only did not make people laugh, but instead gave people the illusion that it should be so.

The old butler understood his own earl's level, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the earl's doing. Sometimes he would subconsciously think of Count Chenault as a peer rather than a twelve-year-old child.

As soon as the conversation changed, Mephistopheles expressed his opinion: "Actually, as long as you look a little deeper, you can find the reason for this defect. ”

"Why?"

"Is the Church of a Landowner of the Temple a fool?"

"Of course not...... Are you saying that these glaring shortcomings were deliberately exposed to us?"

"No, it's supposed that they've run out of time to refine the rhetoric and persuasion plan, which means that Kalian came up with a half-finished plan when he visited me. ”

Speaking of this, Mephistopheles reached out and touched her immature cheeks, and said with some emotion: "This feeling of being despised by others is unexpectedly good." ”

"Presumably, after understanding the wisdom of the Lord, they will understand what an unforgivable mistake they have made!" said Fawkes respectfully, not only in praise of Count Cheno, but also in his heart.

"Not only did you underestimate me, but you too, Fawkes. To be honest, even I didn't expect you to do this for the Morte family, and it's really an honor for the Morte family to have your help. ”

Buying people's hearts and minds requires the monarch to grasp the right time.

Sure enough, as soon as Mephistopheles's words came out, the old butler knelt down on one knee with reddish eyes and said incoherently: "Don't deserve, don't ......"
