Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 166 Silver Suitcase

Ma Lu opened the box. As he had guessed before, it contained paper, and there was only one piece of paper.

Ma Lu didn’t peek, because he didn’t recognize the words on it anyway.

Levi seemed to be satisfied with his reaction, and then said, "See, that was originally for you."

 “For me?” Malu was a little surprised.

"That's right." Levi nodded, "That's your diploma, the real diploma. Congratulations, knight, you have completed the test given to you by the church and proved that you have the power to fight evil."

"So...this silver suitcase was specially sent by the church to be placed in that abandoned warehouse?" Ma Lu looked strange.

"That's right," Levi seemed a little impatient, "I'm not targeting you. All newcomers who are promoted to knights need to undergo such a test.

“What you rookies learned in school is useless. If you want to join the Holy Knights and serve under me, how can you do it without any real skills?

“If I don’t prove myself first, how can I safely entrust you with more important tasks in the future?”

Levi finally raised his head this time, "Why, do you have anything else to do? It better be something really important, otherwise I will kick you out of the Knights."

However, Malu did not leave.

 These words were prepared by Ma Lu early in the morning, mainly because he would disappear frequently and would normally miss the missions issued by the Knights.

Li Wei seemed to be really busy. After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said to Ma Lu, "Let's go, you have nothing to do here."

"That's it, Mr. Deputy Commander, I also swore a vow of meditation." Malu explained.

Although the church treats knights more leniently than witches, if it happens too many times, he will definitely be held accountable or even imprisoned.

Ma Lu really didn’t expect that the box they tried so hard to find contained only such insignificant things.

"What?" Levi's face suddenly darkened, "Are you kidding? How can you complete the tasks assigned by the church when you meditate for 26 days a month?"

“Because I also want to establish spiritual order.” Ma Lu Su Rong said.

"This is what I want to discuss with you. Can you give me some longer-term tasks so that I can complete the tasks after my retreat," Ma Lu said.

He didn’t even raise his head from beginning to end, and he didn’t even ask for Malu’s name. Obviously, such a small character was not worth the trouble for him to remember.

“Do you think the Holy Knights are a vegetable market where you are asked to bargain?” Levi said angrily.

You must know that not long ago, the purple-haired girl even planned to sacrifice herself to complete the mission.

"I am not bargaining, I am just trying to resolve the conflict between the oath of meditation and my duties. As a devout believer of the Lord of Order, I cannot break the oath. At the same time, as a knight, I also want to continue to serve the church and the knights. "

 Levi's frown deepened, "How many days a month do you want to meditate?"

Li Wei frowned when he heard this, "Vow of meditation, when? Why do you want to take the vow of meditation? Usually only bishops take the vow of meditation, and there are fewer and fewer bishops taking the vow of meditation in recent years. You What monastic oath does a paladin take?"

 “At least 26 days.”

 In this case, it is better to clarify this trouble earlier. The oath of meditation was an excuse he discussed with Cerberus and Skylark, which is considered a more reliable reason.

Monks who take the oath of meditation will choose to be alone and cut off all contact with the outside world. The purpose is what Ma Lu said before, hoping to establish absolute order in the soul.

However, taking a vow of meditation does delay things. People who are not lonely and have no desire for worldly power and wealth rarely take a vow of meditation. Because once you set foot on this road, most of your life will be the same as death.

Li Wei obviously did not expect that someone would take a vow of solitude at a young age, but this kind of thing cannot be faked, because as long as someone is sent to keep an eye on his residence, he can know whether he has broken the vow.

 Breaking an oath in the Church of Order is a thing worse than death.

Ma Lu continued, "I really didn't mean to evade the responsibilities of a knight. I heard that the average knight will perform two outing missions every month. I can perform three or more missions."

 Hearing this, Levi's expression finally softened a little, "You are really sure you want to do this."

 “That’s right.” Malu’s tone was very certain.

Although he is also quite curious about Temple City, Malu will not forget that the main purpose of his coming here is to discover ingredients.

 If you want to dig out ingredients, you will definitely have to go to the wild, and his knight system must also be upgraded through combat.

“Since you said so yourself, I can arrange some longer missions for you, but such missions are often more dangerous.”

Li Wei said lightly, "Don't say I didn't warn you, even many knights who are much older than you would not dare to take on such a task."

"It's okay, I can give it a try." Ma Lu said.

 “You are quite courageous.” Li Wei gave in in the end, maybe he just didn’t want to waste any more time on Malu.

“Well, I will arrange some tasks with a longer time limit for you in the future as you wish. I hope you won’t regret it.”

 “Thank you, Vice Captain.” Ma Lu made a circle with his left hand and placed it on his chest.

This is also the standard knighthood of the Church of Order.

However, Levi had already lowered his head to look at the documents on the table, "Just leave if you have nothing to do."

This work report was much easier than Malu imagined.

Perhaps because it was just a test, Levi didn't even ask him about the process of the mission. The deputy leader of the Holy Knights only cared about the results.

Now that Malu has retrieved the silver suitcase, the mission has been completed. It doesn't matter how it was done.

On the contrary, the two of them argued for a longer time on long-term tasks. Fortunately, the result also made Ma Lu satisfied.

As long as his identity as an outsider is not exposed, the difficulty of the task is not unacceptable. Anyway, he will fail.

Ma Lu then went to visit the three witches under his command, and all three of them had completed the baptism.

From the chessboard map, Ma Lu could clearly see that the sin points of the three people had returned to zero, which was quite magical.

But the Bird of Paradise hasn't woken up yet, and I heard from Skylark that she seems to have to rest for two days.

After bidding farewell to the three of them, Ma Lu returned to the Knights' station and tried his best to find his residence.

It was a small apartment, about 90 square meters, uniformly allocated by the Knights. The furniture and other items were all ready. Malu's predecessor only had time to put his luggage in and died before he could even live in it.

 Now it’s easier for Malu and it has become his foothold in this plane.
