Chapter 220

Once a profession was isolated by everyone, it would have no way to continue existing. It was destined to be destroyed. This was because if a profession wanted to be passed down, it needed people. The most important thing was people. Once no one thought highly of this profession, no one would want to join it. A profession that had lost its inheritance was like a family that had lost its inheritance. It would be destroyed sooner or later.

It was because of this that Maru and the rest realized the seriousness of the matter. The inheritance of The Black Mages was about to be broken. No one was willing to learn black magic. This was not good news for them.

Maru continued, ” after we discovered this situation, we immediately began to investigate. Such rumors would not appear on the mainland for no reason. Someone must have done it on purpose. After careful investigation, we found out that all of this was pushed by the people of the church of Light. &Quot;

To be honest, this answer was not out of Zhao Hai’s expectations. Currently, black magicians were isolated on the continent, while light magicians were more respected. The reason why light magicians had such a status was because they hunted and killed black magicians everywhere.

If those rumors had nothing to do with the light mages, no one would believe them. However, for those in power, this matter did not seem to be a bad thing. The doctrine of the Church of Light was to let ordinary civilians know their place and not resist the ruler even if they had a hard time. Because in the doctrine of the Church of Light, the reason why you suffered was so that you could go to heaven after death.

What kind of place was heaven? No one had seen it before, but according to the doctrine of the Church of Light, it was the most beautiful place in the world. People there did not have to do anything, but there were endless food and beautiful clothes to wear.

There was no doubt that such a doctrine was more beneficial to the rulers, so the rulers of the countries did not oppose the preaching of the Church of Light. They also adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the suppression of The Black Mages.

Maru saw that Zhao Hai and the others were not surprised. He could not help but smile bitterly. He secretly laughed at himself for being slow to realize. Zhao Hai and the others had obviously expected this outcome, but he and the others took such a long time to realize.

Maru smiled bitterly. &Quot; it was because of this that some knowledgeable Black Mages on the continent spontaneously organized and formed the Black Mage Alliance. The Black Mage Alliance has two main goals. One is to fight against the Church of Light, and the other is to pass on black magic. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and looked at Maru, ” “So you came to me? You just want me to join the black magician Alliance because I’m also a black magician?”

Maru nodded and said, ” yes, because you are also a Black Mage. For a Black Mage like you, the Church of Light will definitely find time to deal with you. Zhao Jia, who came to deal with you some time ago, was actually also from the Church of Light. He was sent by the Church of Light to deal with you. What you don’t know is that the power of the Church of Light is far stronger than what they show. &Quot;

Zhao Hai and the others looked at Maru. Maru looked at them and said in a deep voice, ” &Quot; you wouldn’t have thought that there are many small duchies on the continent that are already under the control of the Church of Light. The king of the south, Borich, is also a Guardian Knight of the Church of Light. The reason why Borich came to deal with you is not only because of Carlo, but also because of the wishes of the Church of Light. &Quot;

This was beyond Zhao Hai’s expectations. They did not expect that the king of the south, Borich, would become a guardian Knight of the Church of Light with his great power. It was too surprising.

Maru looked at Zhao Hai and continued, ” &Quot; don’t be surprised. The Church of Light is actually composed of three parts. The first is the Archbishops led by the Pope, the second is the Knights of the Round Table made up of Guardian Knights, and the third is the Association of walkers made up of the ascetics. Although these three parts belong to the Church of Light, they are relatively independent. The Archbishops led by the Pope are mainly responsible for managing the daily operation of the Church of Light, while the Knights of the Round Table are mainly responsible for protecting the Church of Light. The Walker society’s main task is to spread the faith.”

Zhao Hai and the others listened quietly. Seeing how detailed Maru was, it was obvious that they had been investigating the Church of Light for a long time. It seemed like the saying ” the person who knows you best is your enemy ” was true.

“Although the Pope manages the daily operations of the Church of Light, he doesn’t have the power to manage the Knights of the Round Table and the Association of walkers,” Maru continued. Although the Knights of the Round Table of the Church of Light was called the Knights ‘Association, most of them were people with real power in various countries. Each of them had an extraordinary identity. They formed the management of the Knights of the Round Table and managed some armed forces of the Church of Light. In addition to the Archbishops, the Pope also controlled some unknown forces of the Church of Light, such as some assassin organizations and some mercenary groups. Compared to these two, the power of the Association of travelers was slightly weaker. They could be said to be the most devout believers in the Church of Light. They usually wore coarse clothes and traveled all over the continent all year round. On one hand, they spread the teachings of the Church of Light, and on the other hand, they taught people how to cure illnesses. They had no money on them, so they either hunted for food or relied on others ‘alms. Therefore, the Association of adepts was usually composed of mages. However, as the life of the church of Light was getting better and better, fewer and fewer people were willing to be ascetics. There aren’t many real ascetics left.”

At this point, Maru could not help but show a look of admiration. It was obvious that he still agreed with the ascetics, even though they were now enemies with the Church of Light.

This was the first time Zhao Hai had heard of ascetic training. It sounded like a monk, but it was a little different. It sounded much stronger than a monk.

Maru sighed and said, ” if the Church of Light were like the ascetics, then the continent would be blessed. Unfortunately, there are not many mages who can bear the hardships of the ascetics. The Church of Light is now controlled by the Pope and the Knights of the Round Table. They are unscrupulous in ways to improve the status of the Church of Light in the People’s hearts of the continent and try to make money from their own hands. They are greedier than businessmen and more unscrupulous than politicians. &Quot;

At this point, Maru was already gritting his teeth. It was obvious that the suppression of black magic was led by the Pope and the Knights of the Round Table.

Maru calmed himself down and turned to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; you may not have thought that the undead mercenary group that was targeting Laura was actually controlled by the Church of Light. The three assassins that followed Zhao Jia to deal with you were also the real mastermind behind the scenes. It’s just that no one knew about it. Hmph, the Church of Light, they pretend to be compassionate on the outside, but secretly, they are doing evil things that are even more evil than the devil. &Quot;

Zhao Hai and the others were stunned. This news was too shocking for them. They couldn’t link the undead mercenary group and the shadow Assassin group with the Church of Light. Maru knew this information and had obviously done a detailed investigation on them. It seemed that the black magician Alliance wasn’t a good person.

Maru looked at the shocked Zhao Hai and smiled, ” &Quot; we found out about these things later. If we didn’t have such power, we wouldn’t be worthy of challenging the Church of Light. This time, Borich and the others dealt with you like this for benefits. They wanted to get the Paradise Products in your hands. Secondly, it was because of your black magicians. They were afraid that you had already joined the black magician Alliance. If you joined the black magician Alliance, with your financial support, the black magician Alliance would be even stronger. The threat to them will be even greater.”

Zhao Hai and Laura were both stunned. Then, they looked at each other. Although Maru’s words did not seem like anything, he had revealed to Zhao Hai that the Black Mage Alliance might be short of funds.

The two of them were not stupid. There must be a reason for Maru to be so honest with Zhao Hai. At first, Zhao Hai did not know the reason, but now he did. To put it bluntly, it was money.

Maru looked at the two and knew what they were thinking. He said with a serious expression, ” “Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Zhao Hai. I’m not asking you to join the black magician Alliance for your money. Although the black magician Alliance is an Alliance organization, there is no hierarchy. The Alliance doesn’t have a leader, only an elder Council. The elder Council doesn’t order a magician to do anything. Even if they want a magician to do something, they have to listen to the magician’s own opinion. Or is it because you are a Black Mage? we will invite all The Black Mages on the continent, except those controlled by the Church of Light, to join the alliance.”

“Are there any requirements after joining the Alliance?” Zhao Hai nodded.

Maru knew that there was a chance when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. He immediately said, ” &Quot; I don’t have any excessive requests. I only have two main requests. One, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you must help. Two, you must find a way to collect all the information about the Church of Light, and you can also deal with the Church of Light on your own. These are the only two requests. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded,”then what can the Alliance provide me?” Of course, I’m not talking about funding, but help in other areas.”

Maru smiled. &Quot; of course there will be. The Alliance can provide you with information and manpower. Of course, you will have to pay a portion of the money to the Alliance. You will also have to pay those people a Commission. &Quot;
