Sixty-six, Scholar’s Temple, Bet
"Then what should I do during these two hours of waiting?"
Su Yu left Kelderon's residence and walked Dima on the crowded street.
Opening the mission panel, there are only three missions he has accepted now, namely the main plot [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire], [Saint of Oran City], and the hidden mission related to Tina [Unresolved Love between People and Horses].
"How about I go to Oran City through the teleportation array to start the main line of [Oran City Saint]?" Su Yu touched his chin.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "No, if the main plot over there happens to be a difficult task or a time-limited task, I probably won't be able to get back on time."
Su Yu gave up the idea of rushing to Oran City.
The main mission is extremely difficult.
Just like the three-ring mission he did at Kelderon just now, whether it was delivering a letter or sneaking into the Earl's mansion, it was not something that ordinary players could complete.
Su Yu relied on good equipment, powerful spells, and a lot of energy to barely complete it.
Starting two main storylines at the same time would definitely be too much for him.
"If I don't go to Oran City, I will take advantage of this time to join the [Scholar's Temple]. The headquarters of the Scholar's Temple is in Plantagenet City."
Su Yu did not forget the invitation from Pisim, the old magician of Novice Village. After joining the [Scholar Temple], he can also get a lot of benefits.
Just do it.
Su Yu asked the guards in the city for the location of the Scholars Temple headquarters, and then followed the path pointed by the guards and rode Dima in that direction.
...
The Temple of Scholars headquarters is located on the southwest side of Plantagenet City, located together with churches of various faiths.
The appearance of the Scholar's Temple headquarters is similar to that of a church, but instead of a statue of a god, the church hall enshrines a statue of a huge stone book spread out.
Those who join the Scholars' Temple are basically magicians. They don't care about the protection of gods and only thirst for endless knowledge.
Stepping into the gate of the temple, the bustling noise on the street disappeared in an instant, leaving only the solemn silence unique to the temple.
On both sides of the hall were rows of neat bookshelves. Many magicians in wizard robes were reading books here without even looking at Su Yu's arrival.
Not long after, an attendant came over from the side, came to Su Yu and asked softly: "My lord, do you need any help?"
"I came here to join the Scholars Temple." Su Yu took out the [Scholar Temple Invitation] from his backpack and handed it to the waiter.
After seeing the signature above, the waiter's eyes narrowed: "It's an invitation from Lord Pism!"
He did not dare to neglect: "Then please wait here for a moment, I will inform Lord Hemleck right away!"
"Yeah." Su Yu nodded.
After the waiter left, he walked to the bookshelves on both sides and looked through the books on them. He was soon immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
...
About 10 minutes passed.
An angry middle-aged male voice sounded, located at the entrance to the corridor behind the stone book statue:
"That's unreasonable! Is Pism's brain filled with psychic coins? As long as I'm here, I will never allow an upstart to join the temple!"
"But Lord Heimleck, Lord Pism has the authority to make him one of us..." said another voice.
"That's not okay! I will never allow the smell of copper from the nouveau riche to contaminate this sacred temple. Where is the nouveau riche?"
Heimreck looked at the waiter.
"Where is he."
The waiter pointed weakly at Su Yu, who was looking through books by the bookshelf.
Hemleck is a middle-aged mage who looks to be in his mid-thirties, wearing an earthy yellow magic robe with slightly wrinkles.
Perhaps because he stayed at home reading for a long time, his face looked unnaturally pale.
However, judging from the surge of magic power around him, he is at least a fifth-level magician and belongs to the backbone of the Scholar Temple.
After seeing Su Yu, he immediately came over in a hurry.
From a long distance away, he said unceremoniously: "Please come back! Our Temple of Scholars will never accept a nouveau riche with a brain full of mush! Even if you hold an invitation letter signed by Pism, I will never accept it." Let you join!"
"Is that so?" Su Yu calmly closed the book in his hand and stuffed it back into the bookshelf, then turned around and looked at Heimreck.
From Heimreck's words, Su Yu could probably tell what was going on.
This involved a struggle within the Scholars Temple, and he didn't expect that he would just happen to run into it!
…
Within the Scholars Temple, there have been endless debates about the management and development of the temple.
Pisim and some other members believe that the temple should attract some wealthy businessmen and nobles to join, let them pay membership fees, and use these dues to maintain the daily expenses of the temple.
And with money, the temple can purchase more high-value books, and even create its own academic journals to communicate with scholars from all over the country, brainstorm and make progress together.
This was also the reason why he invited Su Yu.
The temple members headed by Hemleck did not think so.
They defended the purity of the Scholars' Temple to the death, believing that the Temple should be the temple of scholars and should not be defiled by the smell of copper from merchants and the stench of nobles.
Moreover, they believe that once businessmen and nobles join the Temple, they can find Shuyuanwｗw.zhaoshuyuan.com with their experience in business and politics, and they will be able to sneak into the management or even senior management of the Temple of Scholars in a few years. .
By then, the Temple of Scholars will exist in name only and will become purely a tool for the political and business circles.
Both sides have merit.
But at present, it seems that Hemleck's faction has the upper hand, which is why Su Yu was unceremoniously expelled.
...
Su Yu didn't mind Heimreck calling him "nouveau riche" because he was already a nouveau riche!
But to say that "his mind is a mess", he is not happy about it.
"Who said that rich people have stupid minds? Many rich people are also quite knowledgeable! Take me for example." Su Yu looked at Heimreck indifferently.
"you?"
Heimreck looked at Su Yu carefully.
An ordinary first-level mage, wearing a leather armor.
This leather armor seems to have been infused with a special energy, and every component has reached the first level of rare quality.
"Huh? He's not a local resident? He's an adventurer from another world?"
Heimreck had heard about adventurers from another world, as if they were created by some great power.
But the disdain on his face became even more intense:
"Just you? What kind of knowledge can an adventurer from another world possess? Have you been in our world for more than five days? Can your knowledge reserve exceed that of scholars like us who have studied for decades?"
Heimreck was too lazy to talk to Su Yu. After snorting coldly, he turned and walked towards the corridor behind the book statue.
But at this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind him: "Do you dare to make a bet? Heimleck. If I lose, I am willing to pay one million psychic coins!"
