“……………”

Regarding Howard's invitation, Jenn really didn't expect that although he felt in his heart that this script was really wrong, he still looked breezy on the surface. After listening to Howard, Jenn only thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Howard, but I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

Hearing Jenn's answer, Bishop Howard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, he thought the same way, but there was an order from above, so he had to go this way. Now it seems that this young man is indeed as shrewd as he thought, but at this time, Bishop Howard did not have time to say anything more, only to see a paladin behind him glaring at Jenn, and then asked.

"Why! Mr. Jenn, as a people of light, it is incumbent upon each of us to destroy the darkness and fight evil! And it's a call from the Templars, and you should be glorified for it! ”

Isn't that the kind you want to eliminate?

Hearing the paladin's words, Jenn glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to Bishop Howard.

"Your Excellency, this is ............"

"This is the Lorain Paladin."

Howard had been in contact with Jenn for a long time, and he knew that the situation was not good when he heard the young man's tone, and hurriedly explained.

"He is a paladin of the Temple of War, and he has only recently stepped into the ranks of the high ranks, and he is a young man with a great future."

"It turned out to be just a rookie."

After listening to Howard's answer, Jenn chuckled.

"Lord Howard, you don't want this kind of thing to be involved in that investigation team. The Temple of War had only just been rebuilt, and if they had a promising new person out like this, they would be sent to their deaths. Won't the losses be too big?! ”

"Nonsense!"

Hearing Jenn's words, the paladin burst out in anger.

"We stand for light and justice. Evil people are nothing to mention in the face of the glory of justice! Those who hide in the darkness will be destroyed! And we will become the blade of the gods, and completely banish the filthy evil and darkness! ”

"If those guys are really as worthless as you say, then the Templar Order won't even need to look for me, just gather a few people to get there."

For the angry rebuke of the Lorain Paladin, Jenn didn't take it seriously at all. And seeing Jenn's indifferent expression made Loren feel even more angry. He was only twenty-five years old before he had already undergone the divine test and became a high-ranking paladin. Everyone believed that he was favored by the gods and had a bright future. And his own belief in the Nine Saints is also extremely religious. The Lorain Paladins were thrilled to be recruited by the Templar to eradicate evil and darkness in the Wild West. In addition, in fact, he didn't really want Old Bishop Howard to invite Jenn to participate in this operation, in Loraine's opinion, the nobles were greedy for life and afraid of death, and would only send their subordinates to die, and they would take credit for themselves leisurely in the back. In his opinion, to recruit a nobleman into this team is to simply tarnish the purity and glory of this holy team. And Loren wanted to face the glory of the Templar Order. The young nobleman should have knelt down in gratitude and thanked the Templar for the importance they had placed on him, and was so proud of it. But what the Lorain Paladin didn't expect was that in the face of such a glorious call, this young nobleman actually understated it. He didn't mean to take it seriously at all, and the contempt for the Templar Order made Loren angry. He had heard from Bishop Howard that he had received an Templar ordination, logically speaking. The other party should be grateful to the Templar Order, but look at the way Jenn looks now. What is the slightest bit of respect for the Templar Order?

Thinking of this, the Lorain Paladin also became more and more angry. He stepped forward and glared at Jenn.

"What kind of attitude do you have! Don't forget that your identity and status, and everything you have now, was given to you by the Templar! And now, the Templar needs your power, and that's how you reciprocate? The Nine Saints care over this world, and we, the Templar Order, as the vanguard of the Nine Saints, naturally have to protect justice and peace, and this is also the duty of the Templar Order. We've defeated those evil attacks time and time again, and this time there will be no exception! ”

"That's a good thing to say."

Jenn scoffed at Loraine's words.

"If the Templar Order is as great as you say, then why are it all thieves, mercenaries and adventurers who save the world? Garke didn't seem to have much faith when he roamed the streets and stole his wallet, and Wallace was just a mercenary who spent his life and money before the projection of destroying the Nightmare King, why were these people chosen by the Nine Saints to carry out a mission to save the world? Could it be that the Templar Order at that time had degenerated to the point where the Nine Saints could not even find a confidant, and could only find comfort in those drunkards, gamblers, and thieves? ”

"You ............"

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Loren was speechless for a moment. It's no wonder that the examples Jenn cites are some of the most famous heroes in the history of the Templar Order, and most people know a lot about their history before they became heroes. It's just that from the standpoint of the Templar Order, they will naturally vigorously publicize how these heroes were influenced by the Nine Saints and fought for justice after awakening their inner hopes and beliefs. But Jenn didn't follow the usual path, and directly denied the propaganda of the Templar Order from the roots, Loren had never seen such a person when he was so old, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Use your brain before you speak, young man. It's not just the power of the Templar that saves the world, you give all your glory to the Templar, but what about the others? Those nobles, mercenaries, and peasants in the rear who fought for the Order during the War of Heaven and Earth. Without the strength of the nobles, the Templar Order's ability to sustain less than 10,000 paladins could withstand the attack of a million demon armies? There are no peasants growing food in the back, so do you all pray to the gods to drink the northwest wind? ”

Hear Loraine speak. Jenn raised his brow slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Make no mistake about it. Upholding justice and peace is not only a pride for the Templar, but also a great thing that all the people of this continent have done with all their might. Besides. I have nothing to do with the Templar Order, and the honor of nobility is a well-deserved reward for me and my family. Moreover, if it weren't for my efforts, your God of War Temple would still be eating ashes right now. I don't owe anything to the Templar Order, so of course I have no reason to accept it. ”

Saying this, Jenn snorted coldly.

"Not to mention that I am still the lord of Passus, and I am not married or have children. Going with you to die? If I die there. So what about Passus? What about the people here? Could it be that your Templar Order intends to administer this territory in my place? If that's the case, then I can say that the Templar Order is a good deal. ”

"Of course we don't mean that, Mr. Jenn."

Hearing that the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger and stronger, Bishop Howard had to hurry out to play a round. Jenn's words are a rebellious statement, and if they were to be spread, it would probably give people the impression that the Templars were spying on Passus and had sent Jenn to his death in order to achieve the purpose of occupying the dove's nest. Such rumors were not good for the Templars, not to mention that Jenn was right, he had no heirs, and the entire Pashanon family had not seen a second family member so far. In case something goes wrong, what to do next for the territory is a real headache. Not to mention that as the high-ranking of the Templar Order on Eagle Plateau, Bishop Howard knew a little bit of its secrets. Passus was originally part of the Skar Federation, which the Pawood family had given to Jenn. But if Jenn dies, then the realm can be returned to the Pawood family.

"What does that mean? Bishop Howard? If I disobey, the Templar Order will revoke my noble honors? ”

But Jenn clearly didn't intend to let the poor old man go. As soon as the other party relented, he immediately asked aggressively. And Bishop Howard naturally shook his head at this. What are you kidding, the Templars rarely do such a thing as taking back their bestowals. Generally speaking, unless it is determined that the nobles who have been awarded the title have colluded with the demons or have fallen, it is absolutely impossible to revoke the title of knight.

"You ..............."

Seeing this respected bishop being persecuted like this by Jenn, the Lorain Paladin suddenly wanted to say something. However, at this time, Bishop Howard just turned his head and glared at him, and immediately made the young high-ranking paladin close his mouth, but even so, he had a straight face and an unconvinced look.

It was only then that Bishop Howard turned around and looked at Jenn again, then he sighed and reached out to his bosom to take out a letter.

"Anyway, Mr. Jenn, you might as well take a look at this."

"Oh?"

Hearing Bishop Howard's words, Jenn was stunned. In his opinion, there was nothing left for the two sides to talk about, and he had already made it clear that even if he was invited by the Templar Order, he had a reason not to participate. But the other party still did not give up, this is not the style of this old bishop. He doesn't usually look like this kind of stalker, and the letter ......... Jenn glanced at the Templar insignia on it, then opened the envelope and squinted his eyes to read. Then, Jenn's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Bishop Howard, and then asked.

"Is this true?"

"Of course, Mr. Jenn, I can assure you that its authenticity is beyond doubt, that it was signed by the Supreme Bishop of the Templar Order, and that there is no falsity."

That's a lot of fun.........

Hearing Old Bishop Howard's answer, Jenn nodded slightly, then he closed his eyes and thought for a moment before looking at the old man in front of him again.

"Since the Templar Order is so sincere, I am willing to accept this invitation." (To be continued......)
