Master Tongtian

Chapter 118 The test of the boss (34)

There are actually only a few forms of entertainment that mortals can enjoy and have acceptable side effects.

Therefore, for thousands of years, although the lives of lower-level mortals have been full of difficulties, the lives of upper-level mortals have not actually improved substantially.

When Rosen followed Master Fuller into the gate of Maple Leaf Manor, he had a clear feeling of entering civilization from the wilderness.

Faintly, there is even an illusion of entering the suburban manor of the richest man on earth.

Turning around and looking around, all the invited guests were official mages, and there were also one or two apprentices who came to broaden their horizons.

Both the mage and the apprentice were dressed very decently, and their every move was completely etiquette. They had a gentle attitude and decent conversation, as if they were perfect people with high morals and outstanding wisdom.

Rosen sighed inwardly: "So this is the upper class society in Silver Moon Castle."

Liu Yuxi said, "There are no idle people in our dealings, but there are great scholars in our conversation and laughter."

He didn't have a deep understanding of it on Earth where there were few illiterates, but after coming to this world, Rosen discovered that the gap between nobles and commoners was so big that they almost became two species.

'Fortunately, I squeezed in with all my strength, otherwise I would have been touching the mud in a field outside the manor right now. ’

Master Fuller was very popular. People greeted him wherever he went. After seeing Rosen, they all nodded and smiled at him.

Rosen didn't know the other person either, but out of politeness, he nodded in return and they were at least familiar with each other.

After walking on the blue stone path for a while, Master Fuller suddenly asked softly: "Do you understand, young man?"

Rosen's heart moved, and he already understood Fuller's intention.

"Understood, old gentleman."

"Understand what?"

"All the people invited to the tea party this time are warriors of God. You brought me here to let everyone get to know me, and also to let me get to know everyone."

This can be regarded as a meeting with the mages of the same faction. It is better to look after each other in the future, so that if there is a conflict of interest, it can be controlled within certain limits.

The smile on Fuller's face deepened, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

"Although God's power is fading, God has protected the Golden Land for thousands of years and protected hundreds of millions of mortals from extraordinary chaos. We mortals, if not grateful, should at least have the same belief as God."

"Otherwise, why bother learning magic?"

He looked at Rosen, his dark brown eyes fixed on Rosen's.

"Young man, aside from worldly reasons, what is your real intention in joining the Temple Sect?"

Rosen understood immediately.

Becoming a Divine Seal Mage is only the first step to enter the circle of Temple Sect mages, but if you want to truly integrate into it and be accepted by the Temple Sect's bosses, it depends on your specific performance.

Today is the key step, and now is the key question!

Rosen has naturally considered this issue carefully. There are many reasons, many of which are shady, many of which are very worldly, but there are also some lofty views.

Facing the old mage's gaze, he spoke his thoughts softly without blinking his eyes.

"All the beauty in front of us is based on the efforts of all mortals."

"What I eat every day, what I wear, and what I use on my hands are all made by mortal hands. If the bottom layer of the mortal world collapses, then the gorgeous building on the top floor will have no support and will fall into pieces."

"So, I agree with the concept of the Golden God, and therefore I am willing to become a warrior of the God."

In fact, the main reason is to hone your spell-casting skills, and since you have to fight to the death anyway, why not improve your status in the world while fighting.

Furthermore, in a world with gods, when one's strength is still weak, the one who has the highest priority is of course gods.

But the last two reasons are too secular and utilitarian, and you will be laughed at if you say them.

And this noble reason really convinced Fuller.

A pleased smile appeared on Master Fuller's face.

"You are so young and can figure out how the world works and are willing to devote your own strength to it. It is very good."

He turned around and walked briskly towards the castle gate ahead.

"Let's go, let me take you to meet Bilugu."

"Oh, by the way, Bilgu has a bit of a weird temper. He is extremely obsessed with the starry sky. Two and a half of his three sentences are about stars. If he becomes crazy later, you can compliment him as he 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 and very high, about ten meters high. The walls are made of large blue ashlar stones of the same size, tightly fitted, and decorated with large expanses of expensive light blue velvet curtains.

The ground is paved with jade-like obsidian. There is floor heating under the stone, and the floor is also very warm. The ceiling is dotted with hundreds of crystal lanterns that illuminate the entire hall.

Just the decoration of this hall requires countless money to support it.

When he walked to the corner, Rosen asked in a low voice: "Master Bilugu seems to have a big estate."

Fuller blinked: "That's natural. He is both Master Bielgu and Baron Demitlan, and his wife is the cousin of the Earl of Silver Moon Castle. In addition, three of the five brothels in the city are Demitlan The family’s properties include Rose House.”

Rosen suddenly realized: "No wonder he has such amazing dignity."

If the brothel owner is not rich, who is?

Take Chabollet, for example. Two-thirds, no, four-fifths of his money was thrown at the House of Roses.

He thought secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, the temple talks about morality on the surface, but it's all about profit inside."

The performance of the priest Fa'ao was so decent that he almost bluffed him.

In the hall, there were many guests, many attendants, and many teahouses.

Fuller found a tea seat in the corner, and after asking Rosen to sit down, he waved to an attendant not far away.

After the other party came over, he smiled and said: "Have two glasses of moonshine wine, and tell your master that the little guy he is most interested in is also here. Come and sit down when he is free."

"Yes, Mr. Fuller."

The attendant respectfully obeyed.

After the moonshine wine was served, Fuller took a sip and sighed with satisfaction.

"The Demitlan family's moonshine wine is all self-brewed, using the family's secret recipe. It has a very unique taste that cannot be bought on the market."

Seeing him say this, Rosen picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

After tasting it carefully, he found that the taste was mellower than the moonshine wine he bought, but he was not very interested in wine, so he just praised it in general.

"really not bad."

Suddenly a young and gentle voice came from the side.

"It can be seen that Master Philander does not like drinking."

Following the sound, a young male mage wearing a dark red silver-edged slim leather windbreaker came over holding a wine glass.

He wears a gold-rimmed 6-star Mithril medal on his chest. Like Rosen, 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 paired with exquisite clothes, he shows a free and uninhibited yet gentle temperament, which makes people feel close to him.

When he arrived at the table, he introduced himself: "I am Aylan Demitlan, and Master Bilugu is my uncle. Do you two gentlemen mind if I sit at the same table?"

Fuller smiled kindly: "Aha~ Of course I don't mind. I like spending time with young people the most."

"Where's Master Philander?"

He asked Rosen for advice.

Rosen smiled slightly: "I feel honored."

Ailan then sat down at the table and began to introduce his purpose.

"Bilgu is both my uncle and my mentor. Likewise, I am also a flame mage."

"I heard that Sir Philander was here, and I was very curious, so I couldn't help but come over and have a look."

Listening to this introduction, Rosen immediately understood that this Aylan should be an important candidate for the next Baron Demitland.

After all, it is common for a mage to have a young heir, but someone must inherit such a large estate, so the nephew often becomes the ultimate beneficiary.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was gentle and polite, Rosen was determined to make friends with him.

"I also admire Master Bielgu's profound achievements in fire magic, and I deeply respect his perseverance in surveying the sky and observing stars for many years."

Ailan smiled softly: "Haha~ Uncle must be very happy when he hears this."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old but rich male voice came from behind.

"Aha~ I am indeed very happy. There are three sun mages gathered at one table. It is a rare spectacle."

Rosen followed the sound and saw a white-haired old man wearing a dark blue rune-laden silk robe striding over.

On his chest hangs the same dark purple divine wings and eternal gold badge as Master Fuller. The only difference is that Fuller has 14 stars and the opponent has 13 stars.

Obviously, the visitor must be the owner of Maple Leaf Manor, Baron Bielgu de Demitland.

When the master came, the three of them stood up to greet him.

Master Fuller laughed and said: "Old man, you have become more and more energetic recently. Look at this, don't you mean that your magic power is about to advance to the master level?"

The white-haired Master Bilegu is energetic and has a glowing face.

He laughed heartily: "You old guy knows how to make fun of me. I'm already at this age. I'm very lucky that my magic power has not retreated. To advance to the master realm is a huge delusion."

After saying that, he looked at Rosen: "Ah, this is the little guy you are full of praise for. He is indeed very 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 sat down, Bilgu looked at Rosen and asked directly.

"Young man, your fire power is ridiculously strong, and your promotion potential is greater than mine. Is there any secret?"

If the person who asked this question was an unknown young man, then Rosen could have turned against him directly. But if the person who asked the question was Bilgu, the leader of the temple mage, then the situation would naturally be different.

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and a thought quickly flashed through his mind.

"This should be another test for me from the temple leader."

The essence of this test should be whether you are willing to share interests with your friends within the faction.

If Rosen refuses to tell him, it shouldn't be a big problem, but he will be labeled as a marginal person. If the boss does anything good in the future, he will not be called upon.

If something happens to him in the future, the care given by the big bosses will be very limited.

On the contrary, if he is willing to share valuable knowledge, he will pass the test and be more accepted into the Temple.

The above is the conclusion that Rosen came to based on his past life experience and observing people's behavior along the way. It is the social wisdom that his mentor Thrandis did not teach and was not able to teach.

Do you want to say that?

Of course, he has a lot of knowledge about the sun in his mind, and it is enough to reveal one or two things.

Moreover, the other party most likely does not expect to get true knowledge from him, but is more interested in testing his attitude.

As soon as the thought flashed, Rosen had an idea in his mind.

He smiled slightly: "Of course there is, and it is a simple discovery derived from daily life."

"Although the source is simple, it is very interesting and useful. The old gentleman will definitely be interested."

Bilugu laughed loudly, his face showing great satisfaction.

"Our young people from the temple sect are very generous. Unlike the scholars under Faerun, they just know how to hide any good things. They are like women, and they are boring to watch!"

Seeing his attitude, Rosen knew that he had guessed correctly.

He smiled and asked: "Elder, my knowledge needs to be demonstrated in a sunny place, can you"

Bilgu waved his hand: "Let's go to the sunny hall upstairs to talk."

"my pleasure."
