Chapter 166 Silver Suitcase
Ma Lu opened the box, and as he had guessed before, it contained paper, and there was only one piece.
Ma Lu didn’t peek, because he didn’t know the words on it anyway.
Li Wei seemed to be satisfied with his reaction, and then said, "See, that was originally for you."
"For me?" Ma Lu was a little surprised.
"That's right." Levi nodded, "That's your diploma, the real diploma. Congratulations, knight, you have completed the church's test for you 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.
"Yes," Levi seemed a little impatient, "I'm not targeting you. All newcomers who are promoted to knights need to undergo such a test.
"You rookies are here. The knowledge I 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?”
Malu really didn't expect that the box they tried so hard to find contained only such insignificant things.
You must know that not long ago, the purple-haired girl even planned to sacrifice herself to complete the mission.
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."
He looked at Ma Lu from beginning to end. He didn't even raise his head, and he didn't even ask for Malu's name. Obviously, such a small character was not worth the trouble for him to remember.
However, Malu did not leave.
Levi finally raised his head this time, "Why, do you have anything else? It'd better be something really important, otherwise I'll kick you out of the Knights."
"Yes. Like this, Mr. Vice Captain, I also swore a vow of meditation." Ma Lu explained.
Li Wei frowned when he heard this, "Vow of meditation, when? Why did you take the vow of meditation? Usually only bishops take the vow of meditation, and the number of bishops who take the vow of meditation has become more and more popular in recent years. There are less and less people coming. Why do you, a paladin, swear to meditate?"
"Because I also want to establish spiritual order," Ma Lu Surong said.
Li Wei's frown deepened, "How many days a month do you want to meditate?"
"At least 26 days."
"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?"
"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 meditation." Ma Lu said.
"Do you think the Holy Knights are like a vegetable market, asking you to bargain?" Levi said angrily.
“I am not bargaining, I am just trying to resolve the conflict between the oath of meditation and my responsibilities. 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 for Serves the Church and the Knights."
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.
Although the church treats knights more leniently than witches, if it happens too many times, he will definitely be held accountable or even imprisoned.
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 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, the oath of meditation does delay things. People who are not lonely and have no desire for worldly power and wealth rarely take the oath of meditation. Because once you set foot on this road, it will be the same as death for most of your life.
Li Wei obviously did not expect that someone would take a vow of meditation 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 law or not. oath.
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 outings every month. I can perform three or more."
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 very curious about Temple City, Malu will not forget that the main purpose of his coming here is to discover ingredients.
If you want to find ingredients, you must go to the wild, and his knight system must also be upgraded through battle.
"Since you said so yourself, then I can arrange some longer-term outing missions for you, but such missions are often more dangerous."
Li Wei said calmly He said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, even many knights who are much older than you dare not 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, Deputy Commander." General Ma Lu Make a circle with your left hand and place it on your chest.
This is also the standard knightly ceremony of the Church of Order.
However, Li Wei had already lowered his head to look at the documents on the table, "If you have nothing to do, let's go."
This debriefing was much easier than Ma Lu 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, even if he has completed the task, it doesn't matter how he completed it.
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, and he will fail anyway.
Ma Lu then went to visit the three witches under his command, and all three of them had completed their baptism.
From the chessboard map, Ma Lu can clearly see that the sin points of the three people have returned to zero, which is 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, Malu returned to the Knights' station and tried his best to find his residence.
It was a small apartment, about 90 square meters, which was uniformly allocated by the Knights. The furniture and other items were all prepared. Malu's predecessor only had time to put his luggage in and died before he could even live in it.
Now it is cheaper for Malu and it has become his foothold in this plane.
