All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

He knew that the monks wouldn't care about these things, and he also knew that most of the monks were ascetics who lived a simple and frugal life, and that household appliances were dispensable to them.

But he did it anyway, believing that the monks wouldn't be distracted by frivolous pursuits.

High technology is nowhere near as fun as magic!

"Master Lin Bei, are you really going to do this?" Master Midar grabbed Lin Bei, his face full of worry.

"Mage Midar, what are you referring to?"

Under the pavilion, Lin Bei sat in a rocking chair, holding a goose feather fan in his hand, with an inscrutable expression.

He looks impressive, but his modern clothes don't quite match, and he's wearing sunglasses, which makes him look out of place.

"I mean, the next Sorcerer Supreme, are you really planning to step down?"

"This is the ending set by the Ancient One, and I am personally very satisfied with it. There is nothing wrong with it." Lin Bei shook his fan. The Sorcerer Supreme was just a title. He would not be attached to it. If given the chance to let go, he would be faster and more decisive than anyone else.

People who seem heartless are not necessarily irresponsible; they are afraid to take responsibility because they care. When an opportunity to shirk responsibility is right in front of them, they will naturally try to pass it off.

"Alas, Master Linbei, since you have decided to step down, then I also wish to resign." Master Midar sighed with emotion. He had served two Supreme Masters in succession, and the third was about to take office, making him a witness to history.

"Why? You're still so young!"

Lin Bei pulled down his sunglasses in surprise, staring at the mage Midar's gray beard, sparse hair of a powerful figure, and those reading glasses.

"Master Lin Bei, I can't deny that I'm getting old; I'll soon need a cane!"

Master Midar rolled his eyes at Lin Bei. Both generations of Supreme Masters were known for their ability to infuriate people, and he was used to it.

"But without you, the next Supreme Sage will be like a man without his right and left arms. What should we do?"

Lin Bei was in a difficult position. Master Midar was the Sorcerer Supreme's assistant, an excellent tool. Without him, it was as if Kamar-Taj had lost its chief steward; if the sewers were clogged, no one would unclog them...

Oh, now there's the Hydra-3 robot, which can handle everything from cooks and gardeners to cleaners and handymen. Even if the mage Midar tries to unclog the sewers, he can't keep up with the demand.

Lin Bei asked with emotion, "Master Midar, is this the reason you resigned?"

Although I don't know what Lin Bei is saying, judging from the Supreme Master's character, it probably isn't anything nice.

The Venerable Midar, being quite tactful, did not ask further questions and frankly stated, "Regarding the selection of the Supreme Sorcerer's assistant, I have cultivated two candidates over the years. You can choose the better one."

"No need, just pick whoever you like. Choose someone handsome. Kamar-Taj is a reputable organization."

Lin Bei waved his fan, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Remember, it absolutely can't be a cute girl with big breasts. I'm afraid the next Supreme Mage might have some ideas and cause a scandal, which wouldn't be good."

“Master Lin Bei, please be serious.”

Master Midar sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Also, the decision on the next assistant to the Sorcerer Supreme must be made by you. I cannot overstep my authority."

"This is troublesome. Call them over so I can take a look."

Master Midar's attitude was firm, so Lin Bei didn't say much. He leaned back in his rocking chair and started swaying.

"Hold on!"

A moment later, the mage Midar led the two mages into the pavilion; both were male, and there was no fierce female mage.

"Supreme Sage!" x2

The two monks were very polite, and even though Lin Bei seemed unreliable, they did not dare to look down on him in the slightest.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. Although Lin Bei rarely appears in public, Kamar-Taj is never short of his legends. Many sorcerers have praised his unparalleled talent and magical prowess, saying that he is only slightly inferior to the Ancient One.

These reputations aren't due to them taking advantage of others' money (the parentheses are clearly omitted), but rather because dark dimension magic is widely spread in Kamar-Taj, and those who benefit from it naturally want to give it a big shout-out.

“Master Lin Bei, who are these two…”

"and many more!"

Lin Bei interrupted Master Midar, frowned as he looked at the two men, and found that they were both as black as charcoal.

Thinking about how I was wearing sunglasses, I took them off and looked again. It wasn't the sunglasses' fault; I was still as black as charcoal.

The fat guy on the left is slightly better; he's fair with a dark undertone, and the darkness is quite even. The tall guy on the right looks like he owns a coal mine; the power of the dark dimension has seeped into his very bones.

What a devout believer!

This greatly surprised Lin Bei. He had never seen a mage who had studied the magic of the Dark Dimension so meticulously; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had immersed himself in the Dark Dimension.

"What are your names?"

"king!"

"Casillas!"

Excellent, they are all pillars of society!

Lin Bei beckoned slightly, and after the mage Midar approached, he pointed at the chubby man with fair skin and dark complexion and whispered, "Mage Midar, tell me honestly, is this chubby man a relative of yours?"

"..."

Master Midar was speechless, feeling that Lin Bei was looking down on him.

Heaven have mercy! Master Midar worked tirelessly for Kamar-Taj, serving as his assistant his entire life, devoting himself wholeheartedly to his cause. To criticize him like this is a bit too much.

He coughed lightly, leaned down towards Lin Bei, and whispered, "A distant relative, the relationship is very distant."

"Oh, I get it!"

"No, you didn't understand..."

"No need to say anything, I know everything. Leave this to me, and I guarantee it will make you look good!"

Lin Bei waved his hand and pointed at Wang, saying, "It's him. From now on, he will be the Supreme Mage's assistant."

Hearing Lin Bei say this, the fat man named Wang beamed with joy, while Casillas was indignant, having heard both Lin Bei and the mage Midar's words.

He was dissatisfied, accusing the Supreme Master of nepotism!

"Supreme Master, I refuse to accept this!"

Kaecilius retorted, “In terms of strength, I am superior to the King in the art of magic. In terms of ability, I managed Kamar-Taj perfectly during my internship. In every aspect, I am better than the King and more suitable to be your assistant.”

Upon hearing this, Wang immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. What Casillas said was true, and he couldn't refute it.

Lin Bei shook his feather fan. If this were Hydra, and Bucky said the leader was nepotistic, Lin Bei would have accepted it, since he did indeed favor Natasha and Yelena.

However, regarding the selection of the Supreme Sorcerer's assistant, Casillas really wronged Lin Bei. If it were truly a matter of nepotism, the most suitable candidate would be Casillas.

Because Casillas was so dark, the power of the dark dimension permeated his entire body. Lin Bei could turn Casillas into a puppet of dark power with just a flick of his wrist.

But this cannot be said outright, since his public identity is the Sorcerer Supreme, and it is not appropriate to reveal his true identity as the Lord of the Dark Dimension, otherwise it would cause trouble.

"Casillas, you're not convinced?"

"Yes, I am better than Wang, but you chose him instead of me, which is not fair."

Little brother, there's something wrong with your attitude!

“Casillas, before you say all that, answer me a question.”

Lin Bei leaned back in his chair, raised his goose feather fan, and held it upright in front of his chest: "Tell me, who is the person in front of you?"

Casillas looked dazed and sighed dejectedly, "You are the Sorcerer Supreme!"

Yes, there's no need to explain the decision made by the Supreme Master to him. If the Supreme Master says the King can, then the King can.

There's no question of being dissatisfied!

Are there any other questions?

"No...no more!"

"If that's all, then go down!"

Lin Bei gave Casillas a meaningful look and said kindly, "Read more books. Don't just study the magic of the dark dimension. It's too unbalanced... It's not good for your health."

Chapter 251

"Yes, I understand."

Kaecilius trembled and fled in a panic, fearing that Lin Bei would see through his intention to summon Dormammu and borrow the power of the Dark Dimension.

"Your Majesty, you may stay here for now."

Wang was about to leave when he heard Lin Bei's voice, and immediately stood respectfully to the side to await orders.

Beside him, Mage Michal frowned slightly, feeling that Lin Bei's choice was ill-considered; Casillas was indeed very outstanding.

He assumed Lin Bei chose Wang because the latter was related to him, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Master Lin Bei, although it sounds a bit like you're being hypocritical, shouldn't you really reconsider the choice of assistant?"

Wang Wenyan quietly looked up and cast a resentful glance at the monk Mihar. Distant relatives are still relatives, and his great-uncle should not side with outsiders.

Master Mihar pretended not to see it. He had served Kamar-Taj his whole life and did not want Kamar-Taj to lose its best talent because of his own actions.

"Don't worry, I didn't deliberately favor anyone. Wang is very good, honest and kind, and a qualified candidate."

Mage Michal said worriedly, "But Casillas... he's working so hard, won't this be a huge blow to him?"

“It’s alright, I’m watching over him, he won’t go astray.”

Lin Bei calmly said, "To put it positively, there's the Supreme Mage; to put it negatively, there's the Lord of the Dark Dimension. All paths are blocked. What can Kaecilius possibly learn to be bad?"

Lin Bei did not target Kaecilius, nor would he label him a villain simply because he appeared as one, and he would not impersonate Dormammu to persuade him to turn to evil.

After all, the timeline has been moved up by several years, and no one knows what the future holds. Casillas still has a chance; he could very well be a good person.

To be honest, Lin Bei felt quite close to Casillas; he was full of dark power, just like one of his own underlings.

The assistant confirmed the decision: no one else would be chosen but Wang.

In the coming period, Mage Mihal will gradually delegate authority and devote himself to teaching the King how to be a qualified assistant, helping the Sorcerer Supreme to manage Kamar-Taj in an orderly manner.

When Wang becomes proficient in his work and can handle things independently, it will be time for Master Mihar to retire.

Watching Master Mihar's departing figure, Lin Bei sighed with emotion. Time waits for no one. Master Mihar still wanted to shine and contribute, but his body no longer allowed it.

He gestured for the king to step forward, then looked him up and down: "Your Majesty, you've been studying too much dark dimension magic, which isn't good. Learn some other magic."

Lin Bei's words came from the bottom of his heart. If everyone became like Kaecilius, then Kamar-Taj would be beyond saving and could be renamed the Dark Dimension's Earth Office.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Wang nodded in agreement, not understanding Lin Bei's meaning, because the Dark Dimension Magic was written by Lin Bei, and everyone who used it said it was good.

It's really good!
