Chapter 99 The Best Supporting Actor
"exactly."
Hearing the chubby face's question, Fangzheng pretended to be very "straightforward" and nodded.
"During this operation, I once fought two mages by chance. I was very impressed by the magic they manipulated. I think that if you want to learn how to deal with magic, you must first understand magic The principle of magic, so I really plan to study magic..."
"I see."
Before Fangzheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by the chubby face, his smile became brighter, while the thin bamboo pole next to him frowned, looking at the chubby face with a dissatisfied expression. As for Bishop Carl, who was between the two, his eyes were still slightly closed at the moment, and he seemed to be asleep.
"I heard from Grand Knight Stone that you have a very deep knowledge and understanding of the Holy Light, and you are also able to skillfully use the power of the Holy Light. So you plan to learn magic now, do you think the Holy Light is inferior to magic?"
"That's not what I meant, my lord."
Hearing the chubby face's rhetorical question, Fang Zheng "complexion changed slightly" and he started to defend himself.
"I think holy light and magic have different strengths in different fields. If you can learn this..."
"I understand what you mean."
At this moment, Shouzhugan wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, the fat round face rushed to speak in front of him again with a smile.
"It's very rare for you to have such an understanding. Indeed, both magic and holy light belong to the same force of order. I think your idea is very good. Well, I personally agree with your request, and I will let you Enter the White Tower of Heaven to learn magic, are you willing?"
"Thank you, Bishop!"
Fangzheng really showed a happy expression at this moment, and hurriedly thanked him. The thin bamboo pole next to him looked at Fangzheng with the expression of a policeman seeing a victim of fraud, and then sighed helplessly.
"What do you two think?"
The chubby face smiled more happily now, he turned his head and looked at Bishop Karl and the thin bamboo pole beside him. The thin bamboo pole frowned, wanting to say something. Unfortunately, Bishop Carl seemed to have woken up at this time. He just looked at Fangzheng quietly, and then nodded slightly after a while.
"Since I agree, then I have no objection."
"me too."
Perhaps it was because he was robbed several times when he wanted to speak, but now Shouzhugan also looked disinterested. He shook his head, glanced at Fangzheng, and then nodded in agreement.
"Then it's decided."
After getting affirmative answers from the other two bishops, the chubby face looked at Fangzheng again with a smile.
"The bishops agreed to your request. It just so happens that the investigation mages of the White Tower of Heaven are here these days. They will take you into the White Tower of Heaven to study. We will also prepare the spirit crystals you need. Now, you can leave."
"Thank you, Bishop."
Hearing the chubby face's words, Fangzheng gave the three of them a respectful salute with an "excited" smile, then turned and left. And when Fangzheng left the hall, he finally couldn't help clenching his fists.
It worked!
Although the smile on the chubby face is very amiable, Fangzheng is not a good person. The management has been working for so many years, how can he not know what the other party is thinking?
For a company, an organization, and a force, what is the most important thing for a subordinate?
Competence and Loyalty!
Ability is optional. After all, geniuses are always a minority, but loyalty is the most important part of all organizational forces. Loyalty does not only refer to loyalty to a certain person, but also whether the two parties have common values, common interests, and common goals. Because only these are the cornerstones of maintaining loyalty and not betraying. This is the same for an organization as small as a country.
On the surface, what the chubby face said is correct, the temple is the guardian of order, and the holy light and magic are part of the order, so learning the holy light or learning magic, on the surface, both serve the order, no different.
But these words are also used to deceive three-year-old children.
If there is really no difference, then why didn't the Sanctuary of Contemplation and the White Tower of Heaven merge? Looking at Shi Dong's appearance, it's fine if the temple and the White Tower didn't beat people's brains out of dog's brains.
As for the reason why the chubby face did this, Fangzheng also knew very well that as long as he agreed to his conditions, it meant that Fang Zheng would no longer have the possibility of being promoted in the temple!
To put it bluntly, Fangzheng, as an employee, did not agree with the corporate culture of the temple, and did not have a sufficient sense of belonging to the group, and at the same time disagreed with his superiors. For example, the company clearly intends to use all resources to make a sequel to a popular FPS game, but you think that the FPS game will lose money and should be an RTS... For such an employee, which leader do you think will reuse it? You are lucky if you didn't find a chance to be laid off.
As for the White Tower, Fang Zheng might be very concerned about it at first, but Fang Zheng can be sure that they will not give him too much trust. Because I am a member of the Temple after all, and I am very likely to be the only Templar who came to learn magic, this identity is doomed that Fang Zheng is also unlikely to be promoted to the top mages.
If it were another person, the fat and round face's poisonous trick was so insidious that it would make it impossible for a person to stand out for a lifetime. But for Fangzheng, this is simply amazing!
I love you so much, bro! ! Is there any Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?
Although, on the surface, a scumbag like Fang Zheng would be disgusted by both parties, the reason why the scumbags were rejected was precisely because they were scumbags. But when the grass on the wall turns into a towering tree, then there is no question of whether it is rejected or not.
Fangzheng didn't want to get too close to the temple, and he didn't want to get too close to the White Pagoda, so the status of Er Wuzi was the most suitable for him. Once something goes wrong, he can also decisively abandon the temple and the White Tower, and even make enemies with them without any psychological burden. Otherwise, the so-called reaching out and not slapping people with smiling faces means that if they treat you so well, you can't justify it if you don't reciprocate.
Of course, Fangzheng also knew that the so-called fief of his own was definitely dead. It is impossible for the temple to hand over its territory to a knight who is going to learn magic, otherwise what if those mages occupy the magpie's nest. But that's fine, he didn't intend to take that piece of fiefdom in the first place. After all, I'm still waiting to open a dungeon to travel through. By the time I go there for dozens of days or more than half a year, how can I have time to deal with fief affairs? And the long-term disappearance will also attract suspicion. Instead of this, it is better to be free, so that even if it disappears, it is easy to explain, isn't it?
And at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Is this the decision you made?"
Hearing this sound, Fangzheng stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw Bishop Karl walking out of the shadows slowly and staring at him.
"Bishop Karl."
Fang Zheng was not surprised by Bishop Karl's appearance. When fighting the six-armed snake before, he used several kinds of power in a row. At that time, Bishop Karl must have been around. Since Bella, the six-armed snake, could feel his breath, then Bishop Karl must have responded to it. I noticed something.
"You chose to leave the temple, can you tell me the reason?"
Obviously, Fang Zheng is smart, and Karl is not an idiot.
"I'm just an ordinary person."
Hearing Carl's question, Fangzheng sighed, and then looked into the old bishop's deep eyes.
"To be honest, I'm not as enlightened as my mentor or Grand Knight Malte. In the battle that day, more than half of the mercenaries who went with me died. Although I know that they have all received their rewards and pensions, but... I I'm really not very good at taking people to death."
"Every man should have the courage to face his responsibilities."
"I disappoint you. The world is too big, and my hands are too small... I have tried my best to protect the people I know around me."
"After all, you are still young."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the old bishop was silent for a while.
"Forget it, self-willedness and persistence are the privileges of young people. It is not a cowardice to escape sometimes. At least you can clearly understand the greatness of responsibility. This is compared to those fools who are immersed in dreams but do not understand the meaning of responsibility. It's much better... I only have one request, I hope you can stand on the standpoint of order and never bow to chaos."
"...I'll do my best."
"very good."
Facing Fangzheng's answer, the old bishop showed a satisfied expression, then he nodded and turned to leave, melting into the shadow again.
"Don't worry about the White Tower, I will let an old friend of mine take care of you... Work hard to grow up, child."
