Chapter 133: Deception Doesn't Equal Wisdom
Although the old man had already stated that this place was right, looking at the old church, Mebben still couldn't hide his disappointment.
"It's too shabby, and if I succeed in being elected pastor, am I going to go to this place every day?"
However, disappointment to disappointment, he did not show it on his face.
As a veteran liar, he knows how to keep a disguise at all times, and it is with this caution that he can always bear the name of Wolf Knight.
"Uncle, I'm here to apply for a pastor at the Church of Truth, can you tell me who I should interview?"
Seeing this, the old man pointed to an hourglass placed on the holy table in the church, and replied with a smile:
"Young man, you're a little early, and the recruitment hasn't started yet.
Do you see that hourglass, and when the sand inside is gone, the interview is about to start. ”
With that, the old man picked up the broom again and continued to bury his head and start cleaning.
Glancing at the small half of the sand left in the hourglass, he thought it would not take long for it to run out, so he simply sat down on a pew in the church and waited.
As time passed, the sand in the hourglass kept decreasing.
Seeing that there was not much sand left in the hourglass, Meiben's heart was a little strange.
"It's almost time, why hasn't the person in charge of the interview come yet, so the old man can't be mistaken."
Just as Mei Ben muttered in his heart and was about to ask the other party again, the old man also finished cleaning.
He put away the rag and set the broom aside, hammered his waist, and then sat down on the bench to rest.
Looking at Mei Ben on the side, he couldn't help but complain:
"Hey, this church is really tedious to clean, and it almost broke my old waist."
Seeing this, Mei Ben casually echoed:
"Well, this church isn't too big, but it's not a lot of work that can be done by one person.
Uncle, you're the only one in charge of cleaning. ”
The old man nodded when he heard this, and lamented:
"Yes, it's just me, and it's very hard every day.
You don't know, that holy fool is very picky, never wants to hire anyone, only picks up my old bones and squeezes them desperately. ”
Mei Ben snorted when he heard this, and since he was here to apply, he didn't express his opinion.
However, the old man had no intention of letting him go, and he looked at Mei Ben and said with some teasing:
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you're tired now, anyway, someone will come and clean up for me soon.
If you succeed in the interview, boy, maybe we'll be in a group.
As you can see, I'm getting older, and the cleaning work that needs to be climbed up and down in the future will be all left to you. ”
The old man's words made Mei Ben's eyes widen, and he asked in disbelief:
"You're saying that the church is recruiting pastors this time just because there aren't enough cleaners?"
When the old man heard this, he glanced at Mei Ben and said angrily:
"Otherwise, if you don't hire a pastor to take care of the cleaning, will you invite someone to eat rice?
I do the work of a few people by myself, and if I don't recruit some people in, I'll have to pick and choose. ”
Seeing this, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he stood up without saying a word and prepared to leave here.
"Hey, don't go, young man, I see that you are in good shape, and you are quite suitable for cleaning work."
The old man's words made Mei Ben a little broken, and he walked back angrily, and said angrily to the old man:
"Do you know who I am, old fellow, I am the famous Wolf Knight, and my reputation is resounding in the Northland Forest.
How is it possible for a celebrity like me to engage in a lowly sweep with you.
I would have known that this kind of work would have been my own, and I would have been preparing for this interview for so many days, which is really unlucky. ”
Hearing that Mei Ben reported to his home, the old man, instead of being afraid, pointed at him and laughed.
"Haha, what a wolf knight, I haven't heard of it.
You kid is tall and big, but this kind of physique is also suitable for cleaning windows in churches.
When it comes to fighting, you may not be as good as an old man like me. ”
Hearing this, Mei Ben's face darkened on the spot, and after he first glanced around to make sure that there was no one else, he threatened sharply:
"Old fellow, you're making my already bad mood worse, get ready to be beaten."
As he spoke, Umemoto raised his fist and slapped him in the face.
As a veteran liar, the first rule he set for himself to commit fraud is not to take the initiative.
He knew that his strength was completely out of the stream, and once he did it with others, the identity of the wolf knight would be revealed.
But today is different, I don't know why, in the face of the old man's ridicule, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"That's it, the other party is just an old guy who is dying, I can't beat others, it's not more than enough to clean him up."
Mei Ben had already made up her mind to take out the anger in her heart from the other party.
However, the situation did not end with the old man falling under his fist, and the other party was very flexible to dodge the blow.
"Tut-tut, look at what I'm talking about, your physique is not suitable for fighting at all, and it's barely okay to stay in the church and clean the windows."
"Shut up!"
Feeling insulted, Mei Ben didn't care about anything else, and roared angrily, and the old man pounced on him.
He was already mad, and he just wanted to catch the other party and give him an old punch.
However, the old man was like a loach, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't hurt the other party, but he himself was exhausted and panting.
"Eh!"
Physically exhausted, he didn't notice the broom standing beside him, and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and his handsome face came into close contact with the ground.
This sudden and sudden made Mei Ben almost burst into tears.
He looked at the old man who was squatting in front of him, silently staring at him, and shouted a little broken:
"What do you want?"
Mei Ben knew that he was teased by the old man, and the other party could easily knock him down, but he kept tiring him out like a monkey, what kind of bad taste was this.
However, this time the old man did not speak disrespectfully, but shook his head and responded with a smile:
"You can see that you are a very good person at disguising yourself, and you will take this disguise as a kind of wisdom.
You must be secretly rejoicing in your success in the midst of deception again and again. ”
The old man is like being able to see through people's hearts, and every word goes straight to Meimoto's heart.
As the other party said, he is such a liar who treats fraud as wisdom, and every time he sees someone being fooled, he feels that he is very smart, and those who fall for it are stupid.
was exposed by an unknown person, which made Mei Ben both shocked and angry, and he still said stiffly:
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about, let me go, I'm going to get out of here!"
Seeing this, the old man replied with a smile:
"Hehe, I didn't stop you from leaving, I just did my duty as an interviewer.
"Interview?"
I don't know if it's because of kowtowing to his head, the old man's words made Mei Ben a little confused, and he didn't react for a while.
When the old man heard this, he pointed to the hourglass that had already run out on the holy table, and said helplessly:
"Didn't I tell you that when the hourglass runs out, the interview will begin."
Mei Ben looked at the old man in front of him, and his mind buzzed.
"Could it be that this unsightly old man in front of him is Longinus the Holy Fool?
Lord, what am I doing? ”
Mei Ben didn't dare to ask the identity of the old man, and he didn't even dare to look at the other party squarely.
He got up from the ground with his head bowed, and without saying a word, ran towards the outside of the church.
Looking at Meben's stumbling back, Longinus shook his head and sighed:
"There are too many people in this world who regard cleverness as wisdom, but they do not know that only by admitting their ignorance in front of the Lord can they become truly wise."
