"That's right."
Hearing the chubby man's question, Fangzheng pretended to be very "straightforward" and nodded.
"During this operation, I had fought with two mages by chance. The magic they used left a very deep impression on me. I think that if I want to learn to deal with magic, I must first understand the principles of magic, so I really plan to study magic … "
"I see."
Before Fangzheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by the chubby man. His smile became more and more brilliant, while the thin bamboo next to him frowned and looked at the chubby man with a dissatisfied expression. As for Bishop Karl, who was in the middle of the two, he still had his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
"I heard from Great Knight Shi Dong that you have a very deep understanding and understanding of the holy light, and you can skillfully use the power of the holy light. So now you plan to learn magic, is it because you think the holy light is inferior to magic? "
"That's not what I mean, Your Eminence."
Hearing the chubby man's rhetorical question, Fangzheng 'changed his expression slightly' and explained.
"I think the holy light and magic have their own strengths in different fields. If I can learn this …"
"I understand what you mean."
At this moment, the thin bamboo wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the chubby man smiled and spoke again.
"It's rare for you to have such an understanding. Indeed, both magic and the holy light belong to the power of order. I think your idea is very good. How about this, I personally agree to your request, and I will let you enter the White Tower of Heaven to learn magic. Are you willing? "
"Thank you, Your Eminence!"
Fangzheng showed a really happy expression and hurriedly thanked him. The thin bamboo next to him looked at Fangzheng with an expression like a policeman seeing a victim of fraud, then sighed helplessly.
"What do you two think?"
The chubby man smiled even more happily at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Bishop Karl and the thin bamboo next to him. The thin bamboo frowned and wanted to say something. Unfortunately, Bishop Karl seemed to have woken up at this moment. He just looked at Fangzheng quietly and nodded slightly after a while.
"Since he agrees, then I have no objections."
"Me too."
Perhaps it was because he wanted to speak several times but was always interrupted. At this time, the thin bamboo also looked dispirited. He shook his head, looked at Fangzheng, and then directly nodded in agreement.
"Then it's decided."
After receiving confirmation from the other two bishops, the chubby face looked at Fangzheng again with a grin.
"The Bishops have agreed to your request. It just so happens that the Investigating Mages of the White Tower of Heaven will be here for the next few days. They will bring you into the White Tower of Heaven to study. Also, we will prepare the Spirit Crystals that you need. Now, you can leave. "
"Thank you, Your Eminence."
Hearing the chubby man's words, Fangzheng respectfully bowed to the three with an 'excited' smile, then turned around and left. After Fangzheng left the hall, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Success!
Although the chubby man's smile was very amiable, Fangzheng was not a pushover. After being in management for so many years, how could he not know what the other party was thinking?
For a company, an organization, or a force, what was the most important thing for subordinates?
Ability and loyalty!
It was okay to not have ability, after all, geniuses would always be in the minority, but loyalty was the most important thing for all organizations and forces. And loyalty did not only refer to loyalty to a person, but also whether the two parties had common values, common interests, and common goals. Because only these were the cornerstones that maintained loyalty and not betrayal. This was the same for small organizations and large countries.
On the surface, it seemed that the chubby man was right. The Holy Cathedral was the guardian of order, and holy light and magic were both part of order. So, learning holy light or magic, on the surface, was to serve order. There was no difference.
But these words were used to deceive three-year-olds.
If there was really no difference, then why didn't the Contemplation Sanctuary and the White Tower of Heaven merge? Looking at Shi Dong's expression, the Holy Cathedral and the White Tower must have beaten his brains out.
And Fangzheng knew very well why the chubby man did this. As long as he agreed to his conditions, it meant that Fangzheng would never be promoted in the Holy Cathedral in the future!
To put it bluntly, as an employee, Fangzheng did not agree with the corporate culture of the Holy Cathedral enough, and he did not have enough sense of belonging to the group. At the same time, he disagreed with the opinions of his superiors. For example, the company was clearly planning to use all its resources to make a sequel to a popular FPS game, but he felt that an FPS game was a loss and should be made into an RTS game …. Which leader would put such an employee in an important position? You're lucky they didn't find a chance to fire you.
As for the White Tower, they might pay special attention to Fangzheng at first, but Fangzheng was sure that they would not trust him too much. After all, he was a member of the Holy Cathedral, and he was probably the only Paladin who came here to learn magic. This identity meant that it was impossible for Fangzheng to be promoted to the upper echelons of mages.
If it had been someone else, the chubby man's scheme would have been so insidious that he would never be able to make a name for himself for the rest of his life. But for Fangzheng, this was simply wonderful!
I love you so much, bro! You're practically an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!
On the surface, a fence-sitter like Fangzheng would be despised by both sides, but the reason why fence-sitters were despised was because they were fence-sitters. But when a fence-sitter became a towering tree, there was no longer a question of whether he would be despised or not.
Fangzheng did not want to get too close to the Holy Cathedral, nor did he want to get too close to the White Tower, so the identity of a fence-sitter was the most suitable for him. If anything went wrong, he could also decisively abandon the Holy Cathedral and the White Tower. He would not even feel any psychological burden if he became their enemy. Otherwise, as the saying goes, 'one does not slap a smiling face', it would be inexcusable if he did not reciprocate their kindness.
Of course, Fangzheng also knew that his so-called fief was definitely out of the question. It was impossible for the Holy Cathedral to hand over its territory to a Paladin who went to learn magic. What if the mages took over the territory? But this was good too. He had no intention of getting the fief anyway. After all, he was still waiting to open a dungeon and transmigrate. By then, he would be gone for dozens of days or even half a year. How would he have the time to deal with the fief? And disappearing for a long time would also arouse suspicion. Instead of that, it was better to be free. Even if he disappeared, it would be easier to explain, right?
And at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Is this the decision you made?"
Hearing this voice, Fangzheng stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Bishop Karl slowly walking out of the shadows and staring at him.
"Bishop Karl."
Fangzheng was not surprised by Bishop Karl's appearance. Previously, when he was fighting the six-armed snake demon, he had consecutively used several types of powers. At that time, Bishop Karl must have been around. Since the six-armed snake demon, Bella, could sense his aura, Bishop Karl must have sensed it too.
"Can you tell me why you chose to leave the Holy Cathedral?"
Obviously, Fangzheng was smart, and Karl was not a fool.
"I'm just an ordinary person."
Hearing Karl's question, Fangzheng sighed, then looked into the deep eyes of the old bishop.
"To be honest, I don't have the same awareness as my mentor or Great Knight Marte. In the battle that day, more than half of the mercenaries who went with me died. Although I know they've all received compensation and compensation, but … I'm really not good at leading others to their deaths."
"Every man must have the courage to face his responsibilities."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. The world is too big, and my hands are too small … I've already done my best to protect the people I know."
"After all, you're still young."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the old bishop was silent for a moment.
"Well, willfulness and persistence are the privileges of young people. Sometimes, escaping is not a form of cowardice. At least you can clearly understand the weight of your responsibilities. This is much better than those fools who are immersed in their dreams and don't understand the meaning of responsibility … I only have one request. I hope you can stand on the side of Order and never bow to Chaos. "
"… I'll do my best."
"Very well."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the old bishop showed a satisfied expression. He nodded, turned around, and left, once again melting into the shadows.
