Chapter 116: The Big Guy's Test (3/4)
There are only a handful of entertainment that mortals can enjoy with acceptable side effects.
Therefore, for thousands of years, although the lives of the lower mortals have been difficult, the lives of the upper mortals have not actually improved substantially.
When Rosen followed Master Fuller into the gate of Maple Leaf Manor, he suddenly had a clear feeling of entering civilization from the wilderness.
Faintly, there is even an illusion of entering the suburbs and estates of the earth's richest people.
Turning his head to look around, all the invited guests were official mages, and there were also one or two apprentices who came to open their eyes.
Both the mage and the apprentice were dressed in a very decent manner, and their every move was completely in line with etiquette, and they were all gentle and well-spoken, as if they were perfect people with high morals and outstanding wisdom.
Rosen sighed in his heart: "It turns out that this is the upper class of Silvermoon Castle." ”
Liu Yuxi said, 'There is no white ding, and there is a great deal of laughter'.
In the earth where there are few illiterates, the experience is not profound, but after coming to this world, Rosen found that the gap between nobles and commoners is so big that they have almost become two species.
Luckily, I managed to squeeze in, otherwise I would have been touching the mud in some field outside the manor. ’
Master Fuller is very popular, people greet him wherever he goes, and when they see Rosen, they all nod and smile at him.
Rosen didn't know each other either, but out of courtesy, they all returned the salute one by one, and they were at least familiar with each other.
After walking for a while on the bluestone path, Master Fuller suddenly asked softly, "Do you understand, young man?" ”
Rosen's heart moved, and he already understood Fuller's intentions.
"Understood, old man."
"Understand what?"
"All the people who were invited to the tea party this time were warriors of God. You brought me here to let everyone know me and let me know you. ”
This was a meeting with the mages of the faction. In the future, it is good to take care of each other, and in case of a conflict of interest, it can be controlled within a certain limit.
The smile on Fuller's face deepened, and so did the wrinkles on his forehead.
"Although the power of the gods is fading, the gods have blessed the land of gold for thousands of years, saving hundreds of millions of mortals in the land of gold from transcendent chaos. We mortals, not to mention gratitude, should at least have the same faith as God. ”
"Otherwise, why bother learning a spell?"
He looked at Rosen, his dark brown eyes fixed on his eyes.
"Young man, aside from the worldly reasons, what is your real intention in joining the Divine Temple?"
Rosen immediately understood.
Becoming a Divine Seal Mage is only the first step in entering the circle of mages of the Temple Sect, and if you want to truly integrate into it and be accepted by the bigwigs of the Temple Sect, it depends on his specific performance.
Today is a key step, and at this moment, it is a key question!
Rosen naturally thought carefully about this issue, and there were many reasons, many of which were not visible, and many of which were very worldly, but there were also some lofty statements.
In the face of the old mage's gaze, he did not evade his eyes, and whispered his thoughts.
"All this beauty in front of us is based on the efforts of all mortals."
"What I eat, what I wear, and what I use on my hands every day are made by the hands of mortals. If the bottom floor of the mortal world collapses, the gorgeous building on the top floor will be broken to pieces without support. ”
"Therefore, I agree with the idea of the Golden God, and therefore I am willing to become a warrior of the God."
In fact, it's mainly because you have to hone your spell-casting skills, and you have to fight to the death anyway, so why not improve your earthly status by the way when you fight.
Moreover, in a world where there are gods, when one's own strength is still weak, the most priority is God.
But the latter two reasons are too mundane and utilitarian to be ridiculed when they are spoken.
And this lofty reason really convinced Fuller.
A smile of relief appeared on Master Fuller's face.
"It's very good that you are so young that you can understand the truth of the workings of the mortal world and are willing to give your own strength to it."
He turned, walking briskly towards the castle gate in front of him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Bilgu."
"Oh, by the way, Bilgu has a bit of a strange temper, he is extremely obsessed with the stars, and two and a half of his three sentences are stars. Later, if he is crazy, you can praise him according to his wishes. ”
"Don't argue with him, understand?"
"I remember."
The two entered the castle hall one after the other.
The hall is also very spacious, very high, ten meters long, and the walls are made of large blue ashlars of the same size, which are seamed together, and decorated with large expanses of expensive light blue velvet curtains.
The floor is paved with obsidian, and there is underfloor heating, which is very warm even with the floor. The ceiling is dotted with hundreds of crystal lamps, illuminating the entire hall clearly.
The decoration of this hall alone requires countless amounts of money to support it.
When he got to the corner, Rosen asked in a low voice, "Master Bilgu seems to have a big estate. ”
Fuller blinked: "That's natural, he's both a Bilgu mage and a Baron de Mitrian, and his wife is the cousin of the Earl of Silvermoon Castle. In addition, three of the five brothels in the city were owned by the Dmetland family, including the House of the Roses. ”
Rosen suddenly thought: "No wonder there is such amazing decency." ”
If the brothel owner is not rich, who is rich?
For example, Shabolai, two-thirds of his money, no, four-fifths of it was thrown into the House of Roses.
He secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, the temple talks about morality on the surface, but it is all about interests inside."
The officiant Fao behaved so decently that he almost scared him.
In the hall, there are many guests, many attendants, and there are many tea parties.
Fuller found a café in the corner, beckoned Rosen to sit down, and then beckoned to an attendant not far away.
After waiting for the other party to come over, he smiled and said: "Come with two glasses of moonshine wine, and tell your master that the little guy he is most interested in is also here, and he has time to come and sit." ”
"Yes, Mr. Fuller."
The attendant respectfully complied.
After the moonshine was served, Fuller took a sip and sighed in satisfaction.
"The Dmitrian family's moonshine is home-brewed, using the family's secret recipe, and the taste is so unique that it is simply not available on the market."
Seeing him say this, Lawson took a sip of his glass.
After tasting it carefully, he found that the taste was more mellow than the moonshine he bought, but he didn't have much interest in the wine, so he praised it generally.
"That's good."
Suddenly, a young and gentle voice came from the side.
"It can be seen that Master Philand doesn't like to drink."
With the voice, a young male mage wearing a dark red and silver-trimmed slim leather trench coat walked over with a wine glass.
He wears a gold-edged Mithril 6-Star Medal on his chest, and like Lawson, he is also a low-level Divine Seal Mage.
The young mage was handsome with a gentle smile on his face.
He has a slender figure, and when he wears exquisite clothes, he shows a free and uninhibited and gentle temperament, which makes people can't help but feel close to him.
At the table, he introduced himself: "I'm Alan. Dmetland, Master Bilgu is my own uncle, do you mind if you two gentlemen would like me to sit at the same table? ”
Fuller smiled kindly: "Aha~ Of course I don't mind, I like to spend time with young people the most." ”
"Where's Mage Philander?"
He consulted Rosen.
Rosen smiled slightly: "I feel very honored. ”
Alan sat down at the table and began to explain his intentions.
"Bilgu is both my uncle and my mentor, and likewise, I am a fire mage."
"When I heard that Sir Filand was coming, I was very curious, and I couldn't help but come and have a look."
Listening to this introduction, Rosen immediately understood that this Alan should be an important candidate for the next Baron de Mitritran.
After all, the young heir of the mage often appears, but someone must inherit the huge estate, so the nephew often becomes the ultimate beneficiary.
Seeing that the other party was gentle and polite, Rosen also had the heart to make friends.
"I also have great admiration for Master Bilgu's profound achievements in flame mana, and I have deep respect for his perseverance in surveying the heavens and stargazing for many years."
Ailan smiled lightly: "Haha~ Uncle must be very happy when he hears this." ”
As soon as the words fell, an old but thick male voice came from behind him.
"Aha~ I'm really happy, there are three sun mages gathered at one table, but it's a rare spectacle."
Rosen followed the sound and saw a white-haired old man in a dark blue rune streamer silk robe striding over.
On his chest is the same dark purple Divine Wing Gold Badge as Master Fuller, the only difference is that Fuller is 14 stars and the opponent is 13 stars.
Obviously, the person who came must be the owner of Maple Leaf Manor. Morality. Baron Dmetland.
When the master came, all three stood up to greet him.
Master Fuller laughed and said, "Old man, you've been getting more and more energetic lately, look at it like this, don't you have mana to advance to the master realm, right?" ”
The white-haired Bilgu mage was in good spirits, and his face was full of red light.
He laughed: "You old thing knows that you are joking with me, I am this age, and it is a great luck that my mana does not retreat, and it is a great delusion to enter the master realm." ”
After speaking, he looked at Rosen: "Ah, this is the little guy who makes you full of praise, and he is really energetic." ”
While talking, he came to the table: "Come on, come on, don't be restrained, sit down and talk, sit down and talk." ”
After everyone was seated, Bilgou looked at Rosen and asked bluntly.
"Young man, your flame mana is ridiculously strong, and your promotion potential is stronger than mine, is there any secret?"
If it was a young man who didn't know his identity who asked this, then Rosen could have turned his face directly, but it was Bilgu, the boss of the Temple Sect mage, who was asking, then the situation was naturally different.
Rosen's heart moved slightly, and a thought quickly flashed through him.
"This should be another test for me by the Divine Temple Sect boss."
The essence of this test should be whether you are willing to share the benefits with your teammates in the faction.
If Rosen refuses not to say it, it shouldn't be a big problem, but he will be beaten as a marginal person, and if the big guy has anything good in the future, he won't call him.
If something happens to him in the future, the care given by the bigwigs will be very limited.
On the contrary, if he is willing to share valuable knowledge, it is to pass the test and will be accepted more deeply by the Templars.
The above is the conclusion that Rosen has come to based on his experience in his previous life and his observation along the way, and it is the social wisdom that his mentor Thrandis did not teach and was not able to teach.
Is that to be said?
Of course, he has a lot of knowledge about the sun in his head, and it is enough to divulge one or two.
Moreover, the other party is most likely not looking forward to getting true knowledge from him, but more to examine his attitude.
In a flash of thought, Rosen had a score in his heart.
He smiled slightly: "Naturally, there is, and it is a simple discovery from daily life. ”
"It's a simple source, but it's very interesting and useful. The old gentleman will definitely be interested. ”
Bilgu laughed, his face very satisfied.
"The young people of our temple sect are the atmosphere. Unlike the scholars under Fei Lun's hands, if there are any good things, they know how to hide and tuck, like a girl, and they are boring when they look at it! ”
As soon as he saw his attitude, Rosen knew he had guessed correctly.
He smiled and asked, "Elder, my knowledge needs to be demonstrated in a sunny place, can you?"
Bilegu waved his big hand: "Let's go, let's go upstairs to talk in the sunny hall." ”
"It's an honor."
