"Sir, please sit down!" The old man took Jia Zhengjin to the back room, closed the door smoothly, and led him to the table in the center of the room.
Jia Zhengjin smiled slightly and sat down slowly.
"My dear, Elder Morgan of the Knights Templar," the old man reached out to pick up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Jia Zhengjin, "I haven't asked for my advice yet..."
"You can call me Jin if you are a traveling merchant from the Principality of Hales!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"Jin?" Old Morgan blinked and glanced sideways under Jia Zheng's golden gauze hat, but saw nothing. "I'm sorry for my ignorance, I've never heard of your name! I wonder which family you come from?"
"I am a member of a small, run-down family. Even if I tell you, no one will know!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Do I need to verify my identity when I come here to worship and donate? Are you worried that I am an enemy of the dark camp?"
"Mr. Jin, are you kidding?" Morgan shook his head hurriedly, with a smile on his face, "If you are a figure from the dark camp, how could you possibly join our Knights Templar? I'm just curious, not asking for details."
"Elder Morgan, my admiration for Holy Angel comes from the bottom of my heart." Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand and made a gesture to ask him to sit down in front of him. "It is just because of personal reasons that it is not convenient to reveal my face. If you donate some gold coins,
You still need to undergo an interrogation first, so I have to give up due to personal reasons!"
When Elder Morgan heard this, he was afraid that the big benefactor in front of him would run away. The Knights Templar supported so many people, but they actually relied on funds called donations. They said they were collected from believers in the name of holy angels.
The donations are used to help the poor and needy people, but in fact only a small part is used for this purpose. Although there are many believers, most of them are lower class people, and the copper coins donated are also limited. What can really support such a large organization?
The funds came from donations from wealthy businessmen and nobles from all over the world. Donations exceeding 100,000 gold coins were only made once or twice in history, and only when the royal family needed help from the Knights Templar.
Although the Knights Templar also secretly support a large number of businessmen and do business secretly. With the protection and support of their organization, the business is also doing well. But in the face of such a huge amount of donations, how can it be too much?
"Mr. Jin, it was me who was rude!" Elder Morgan smiled with wrinkles on his face. "Since it is your personal reason and it is not convenient for you to reveal your true face, we will not force you. As long as you are sincere to the Holy Angel, Lord Angel
Of course you will receive it! With all due respect, are you sure you mentioned a donation of 100,000 gold coins just now?"
"Why, you can't trust me?" Jia Zhengjin tapped his right index finger lightly on the table, "There's nothing else about me except that I can't lie. Ever since I was a child, I have worshiped holy angels! The house is full of holy angels.
There are statues of Lord Angels, and various stories and books about Lord Holy Angels. I even had a huge golden statue of Holy Angels made out of gold and placed it at home, where I worship every day! But I still feel that I must go to the Templars
Group, worshiping in front of Lord Holy Angel’s icon is the true sincerity!”
Elder Morgan's eyes sparkled when he heard these words. He couldn't help rubbing his hands and laughing: "Mr. Jin is indeed the most devout believer. I believe that Lord Holy Angel can completely understand your mood. Maybe on this year's Day of Prayer, you
He is the owner of the miracle! Since you love Lord Holy Angel so much, Lord Holy Angel will definitely fulfill your wish!"
"Haha~ lend me your kind words!" Jia Zhengjin turned to the topic, "Actually, in addition to my heartfelt admiration and love for Lord Holy Angel, I also respect the Knights Templar. My dream since I was a child is to join you and become a great knight.
It's a pity that because of the decline of the family, I had to give up this unrealistic dream and turn to business to support the family. Now I finally made some money and the family got out of trouble. But I still can't forget it. After all, I often listened to Saints when I was a child.
The story of the knight, especially the legend of fighting against the evil camp and even defeating countless terrifying dark monsters."
Morgan's eyes narrowed as he listened: "It is the duty of our Knights Templar to protect the light and drive out the darkness! When I was young, although I failed to 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 are heroes like you. It's just a pity... ugh!"
"Why did Mr. Jin sigh?"
"Elder Morgan, I just think of my own fate." Jia Zhengjin pretended to be sad, "If it weren't for the decline of my family, maybe I would have the opportunity to join you and become a great paladin! But now, I have to be unbearable.
I am running around for a living, and I am so busy trying to support the whole family that I have no time for myself. Maybe I will be like this for the rest of my life!"
Elder Morgan looked at Jia Zhengjin, thought for a moment and smiled: "Mr. Jin, the God of fate always likes to joke with people. Maybe he has set up a small obstacle in your life. But Lord Holy Angel will never abandon anyone.
Believer, it is actually not impossible for you to join our Knights Templar!"
"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin was just making it up, and he didn't expect to get such an answer. So he asked curiously, "I am a layman who travels around doing business. Apart from worshiping here one or two days a year,
Can you become a Paladin even if you are so busy that you have no time at all?"
Elder Morgan laughed: "Of course not! Paladins need to practice for many years, and they must be trained since childhood, and they must have certain qualifications before they can be selected. Even ordinary members of the Knights Templar are carefully selected.
Elite people. What I am saying is that sincere believers like you can also join our Knights Templar and become one of our honorary members! The contributions made by honorary members to Lord Holy Angel will also be recognized.
It is recorded in the book, and according to these merits, you have the opportunity to obtain the title of Honorary Paladin! Of course, before that, you still need to show your sincerity!"
Looking at his expression and tone of voice, Jia Zhengjin understood that he was asking for money! To put it bluntly, he was implying that he would use money to buy an honorary paladin title. So he rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then, may I ask Morgan?
Elder, if I want to get the title of Honorary Paladin, how sincere should I be?"
"Sincerity is something you can't just talk about!" Elder Morgan immediately avoided the question and shook his head with a smile. "Before that, how about we talk about donations? I don't know where Mr. Jin lives now. He has brought so much.
Are gold coins safe? In fact, we, the Knights Templar, also provide escort services for sincere believers."
This is because he is worried that he is lying, 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: "That's not necessary! I always keep gold coins with me, it's safe.
