Chapter 706: Room Talk
"Sir, please be seated!" the old man led Jia Zhengjin to the back room, closed the door with his hand, and led him to the table in the center of the room.
Jia Zhengjin smiled slightly and sat down slowly.
"Templar Elder Morgan," the old man reached out and picked up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Jia Zhengjin, "I haven't asked for advice yet......
"Principality of Hales Traveling Merchant, you can call me Jin!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"Kim?" Old man Morgan blinked, glanced sideways under Jia Zhengjin's gauze hat, but didn't see anything, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I've never heard of your name! I don't know which family you come from?"
"I'm a member of a small broken family, and no one knows if I say it!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Could it be that I came here to worship and donate, and I still need to verify my identity? Are you worried that I am an enemy of the dark camp?"
"Mr. Kim, you're laughing!" Morgan hurriedly shook his head, his face full of smiles, "If you are a member of the dark camp, how can you get into our Templar Order?" ”
"Elder Morgan, my admiration for the Holy Angels comes from the bottom of my heart. Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand and made a gesture for him to sit down in front of him, "It's just that for personal reasons, it's inconvenient to announce your face." If I donate some gold coins, I still need to be checked first, then I have to give up for personal reasons!"
When Elder Morgan heard this, he was afraid that the big benefactor in front of him would run away. The Knights Templar had so many people, but they were all relying on funds called donations. It is said that donations are collected from believers in the name of the holy angels to help those who are in need, but in reality only a small part of them are used for this purpose. Although there are many believers, the vast majority of them are lower-class people, and the copper coins donated are limited, and the funds that really support such a large organization are donations from wealthy merchants and nobles from all over the world. Donations of more than 100,000 gold coins have only been made once or twice in history, and only when the royal family asked for a request from the Knights Templar.
Although the Knights Templar also secretly raised a large number of merchants and secretly did business. With the protection and support of their organization, business is also doing well. But in the face of such a huge amount of donations, how can it be too much?
"Mr. Kim, it's me who is abrupt!" Elder Morgan smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Since it is your personal reason, it is inconvenient to show your true face, and we will not force it." As long as you are sincere to the Holy Angel, the Angel will naturally receive it! Forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that you are talking about a donation of 100,000 gold coins?"
"What, can't you trust me?" Jia Zhengjin lightly tapped his right index finger on the table, "I have nothing else, I just can't lie." Ever since I was a child, I have always admired the Holy Angels, and my house is full of statues of the Holy Angels, as well as all kinds of stories and books related to the Holy Angels. I even had a huge golden statue of the Holy Angels made out of gold and placed in my home for daily pilgrimage!
Elder Morgan's eyes sparkled as he heard these words. He couldn't help but rub his hands together and laughed, "Mr. Jin is really the most devout believer, I believe that Lord Holy Angel can completely understand your feelings." Perhaps you are the owner of miracles on this year's Day of Prayer, and you love the Holy Angels so much, and the Holy Angels will surely fulfill your wishes!"
"Haha~ borrow your auspicious words!" Jia Zhengjin turned to the topic, "Actually, in addition to the heartfelt worship and love for Lord Holy Angel, I also respect the Knights Templar, and my dream since childhood is to join you and become a great paladin! Now he has finally made some money and let the family out of trouble. But I still can't forget it in my heart, after all, I often heard the stories of paladins when I was a child, especially the rumors of fighting against the evil camp and even defeating countless terrifying dark monsters. ”
Morgan's eyes narrowed the more he listened: "It is the duty of our Knights Templar to protect the light and expel the darkness! When I was young, although I did not become a paladin, I was also a well-known captain in the Knights. ”
"That's really disrespectful!" Jia Zhengjin flattered respectfully, "What I admire most is a hero like you, it's just a pity...... Hey!"
"Why is Mr. Kim sighing?"
"Elder Morgan, I just think about my fate. Jia Zhengjin pretended to be sad, "If it weren't for the middle of the family, maybe I would have had the opportunity to join you, and I would have had the opportunity to become a great paladin!" But now, I have to run around for the unbearable life, and I am so busy that I don't have time to feed the whole family. Maybe for the rest of my life, that's it!"
Elder Morgan looked at Jia Zhengjin, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, the god of fate always likes to joke with people, maybe he has set a small obstacle in your life. But the Holy Angels will never abandon any believers, and it is not impossible for you to join our Knights Templar!"
"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin was originally making things up, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. So he asked curiously, "I, a layman who wanders around doing business, except for one or two days a year to worship here, I am so busy that I don't have time at all, and I can become a paladin?"
Elder Morgan laughed: "Of course not! Paladins need to practice for many years, and they must be trained from a young age, and they must have certain qualifications to be selected. Even ordinary members of the Knights Templar were carefully selected elites. What I'm saying is that sincere believers like you can join us in the Knights Templar and become one of our honorary members! The contributions made by the honorary members to the Holy Angels will also be recorded, and according to these merits, they will have the opportunity to receive the title of honorary paladin! Of course, before that, you need to show your sincerity!"
Jia Zhengjin looked at his expression and the tone of his voice, and understood that he was asking for money! To put it bluntly, he was implying that he was using money to buy the title of honorary paladin. So he rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then may I ask Elder Morgan, if I want to get the title of honorary paladin, how much sincerity should I express?"
"Sincerity is not such a thing, not by talking!" Elder Morgan immediately avoided the question and shook his head with a smile, "Before that, why don't we talk about donations? I don't know where Mr. Jin lives now, is it safe to bring so many gold coins? In fact, we Knights Templar also provide escort services for sincere believers. ”
This is because he is worried that he will talk big, so he wants to know if there are really so many gold coins! Jia Zhengjin took out a silk bag and threw it directly on the table: "Then there is no need! I have always kept gold coins with me, and I am very safe!"
