Once a profession was isolated by everyone, then it would have no way to continue existing. It was destined to perish. If a profession wanted to continue, then it needed people. The most important thing was people. Once no one was optimistic about this profession, no one wanted to join it. A profession that had lost its inheritance was like a family that had lost its inheritance. It would perish sooner or later.
It was precisely because of this that Maru and the others discovered the seriousness of the matter. The inheritance of the Black Magicians was about to be broken. No one was willing to learn Black Magic. For them, this was not good news.
Maru continued, "After we discovered this situation, we immediately began to investigate. There wouldn't be such rumors on the continent for no reason. It must have been deliberately done by someone. After our careful investigation, we discovered that the Radiant Church was behind all of this."
To be honest, this answer was not beyond Zhao Hai's expectations. Now that the Black Magicians were isolated on the continent, the Radiant Magicians received more respect. The reason why the Radiant Magicians had such a status was because they hunted and killed the Black Magicians everywhere.
If one were to say that these rumors had nothing to do with the Radiant Magicians, then no one would believe it. However, for those in power, this matter did not seem to have any disadvantages. The doctrine of the Radiant Church was to let the ordinary people know their place. Even if they were to suffer, they could not rebel against the ruler. This was because in the doctrine of the Radiant Church, the reason you suffered was so that you could go to heaven after death.
What kind of place was heaven? No one had ever seen it. However, in the doctrine of the Radiant Church, the world was the most beautiful place. People who went there didn't need to do anything. They could eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes.
There was no doubt that such a doctrine was more beneficial to the ruler. Therefore, the rulers of the various countries did not oppose the Radiant Church's preaching. They also adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the suppression of the Black Magicians.
When Maru saw that Zhao Hai and the others were not surprised, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He secretly mocked himself. These people were really slow. Zhao Hai and the others' appearance made it clear that they had already guessed this result. However, it took them such a long time to discover it.
Maru smiled bitterly and said, "It was because of this that some knowledgeable Black Magicians on the continent spontaneously organized and established the League of Black Magicians. The League of Black Magicians has two main goals. One is to resist the Radiant Church, and the other is to let Black Magic be passed down."
Zhao Hai nodded. He looked at Maru and said, "So you came looking for me? You want me to join the League of Black Magicians because I am also a Black Magician? "
Maru nodded and said, "Correct. Because you are also a Black Magician. For a Black Magician like you, the Radiant Church will certainly find time to deal with you. A while ago, Zhao Jia came to deal with you. In fact, he was sent by the Radiant Church to deal with you. What you don't know is that the Radiant Church's strength is far more powerful than what they show."
Zhao Hai and the others looked at Maru. Maru looked at them and said in a deep voice, "You wouldn't know that there are many small duchies on the continent that have been controlled by the Radiant Church. Southern King Boric is also a Guardian Knight of the Radiant Church. The reason Boric came to deal with you is not only because of Carlo, but also because of the Radiant Church."
This was really beyond Zhao Hai and the others' expectations. They didn't think that with Southern King Boric's great power, he would actually become a Guardian Knight of the Radiant Church. This was too surprising.
Maru looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Don't be surprised. The Radiant Church is actually made up of three parts. The first part is the Archbishops under the command of the Pope. The second part is the Knights of the Round Table, which is made up of the Guardian Knights. The third part is the Ascetics of the Church. Although these three parts all belong to the Radiant Church, they are relatively independent. The Archbishops under the command of the Pope are mainly responsible for managing the daily operations of the Radiant Church. The Knights of the Round Table are mainly responsible for protecting the Radiant Church. The Knights of the Round Table are mainly responsible for preaching."
Zhao Hai and the others quietly listened to Maru's detailed explanation. It was clear that their investigation of the Radiant Church wasn't something that had only been going on for a day or two. It seemed like the saying that the person who understood you the most was your enemy wasn't wrong.
Maru continued, "Although the Pope manages the daily operations of the Radiant Church, he doesn't have the authority to manage the Knights of the Round Table and the Ascetics. "The Knights of the Round Table of the Church of Light, although it's called the Knights of the Round Table, it's actually made up of powerful figures from various countries. Each of their identities are not simple. They form the management of the Knights of the Round Table and manage some of the armed forces of the Church of Light. In addition to the various archbishops, the Pope also controls some unknown forces of the Church of Light, such as some assassin organizations and some mercenary groups. Compared to these two, the Walker's power is a little weaker. They can be said to be the most devout believers of the Church of Light. They usually wear coarse clothing and travel all over the continent all year round, spreading the teachings of the Church of Light while also teaching people to cure diseases. They don't have any extra wealth on them, so if they don't rely on hunting for food, they rely on charity from others. Therefore, the Walker's Guild is generally formed by magicians. However, because the Church of Light is getting better and better, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to become ascetics.
At this point, Maru couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration. It was clear that he approved of the Ascetics, even though they were now enemies of the Radiant Church.
This was the first time Zhao Hai had heard of the profession of Ascetics. This profession sounded like a monk, but there were some differences. It sounded a lot stronger than a monk.
Maru sighed and said, "If the Radiant Church was like the Ascetics, then the continent would be blessed. Unfortunately, there aren't many magicians who can endure the hardships of the Ascetics. Now, the Radiant Church can be said to be under the control of the Pope and the Knights of the Round Table. They are unscrupulously thinking of ways to raise the status of the Radiant Church in the hearts of the people of the continent. They are more greedy than businessmen and more black-hearted than politicians."
At this point, Maru was already gnashing his teeth. It was clear that the suppression of black magic was led by the Pope and the Knights of the Round Table.
Maru calmed his emotions and turned his head to look at Zhao Hai. "You may not think of it, but the Immortal Mercenary Group that dealt with Laura was actually controlled by the Radiant Church. The three assassins who followed Jia Zhao to deal with you were also the true mastermind behind the scenes. It's just that no one knows about it. Humph, the Radiant Church pretends to be compassionate on the outside, but in the dark, they are more evil than the Devil."
Zhao Hai and the others were stunned. This news was too shocking for them. They had no way to link the Immortal Mercenary Group and the Dark Shadow Assassin Group to the Radiant Church. Moreover, Maru knew this information. It was obvious that he had done a very detailed investigation on them. It seemed that the League of Black Magicians wasn't a good person.
Maru looked at the shocked Zhao Hai and smiled faintly. "These things were later investigated by us. If we didn't have this kind of power, we wouldn't be qualified to challenge the Radiant Church. This time, the reason why Boric and the others dealt with you was because of the benefits. They wanted to get the Taoyuan products in your hands. The second reason was because of your black magician status. They were afraid that you had already joined the League of Black Magicians. If you joined the League of Black Magicians, with your financial support, the League of Black Magicians would become even more powerful, and the threat to them would be even greater."
Zhao Hai and Laura stared blankly. They couldn't help but look at each other. Although Maru's words didn't seem to be anything on the surface, Zhao Hai had revealed a piece of information. The League of Black Magicians might be lacking in funds.
The two of them weren't fools. There must be a reason why Maru was so sincere to Zhao Hai. At first, Zhao Hai didn't know what the reason was, but now he knew. To put it bluntly, it was because of money.
Maru looked at the two of them and knew what they were thinking. Maru looked at them and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, please don't misunderstand. I asked you to join the League of Black Magicians not for your money. Although the League of Black Magicians is an alliance, there is no hierarchy. The alliance doesn't have a leader, only an Elder Council. The Elder Council won't force a magician to do anything. Even if they want a magician to do something, they will have to listen to the magician's own opinion. This time, the main reason I asked Mister to join the League of Black Magicians is because Mister is a black magician. All the black magicians on the continent, except for those controlled by the Radiant Church, will be invited to join the alliance."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "After joining the alliance, are there any requirements?"
When Maru heard the meaning behind Zhao Hai's words, he knew that there was a way. He immediately said, "There aren't any excessive requirements. There are only two main requirements. First, in the future, if you encounter a magician in the alliance in trouble, you must lend a hand. Second, you must find a way to collect all information about the Radiant Church. You can also deal with the Radiant Church on your own.
These are the only two requirements. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," What can the alliance provide me? Of course, I'm not talking about funds, but other aspects of help. "
Maru smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the alliance can provide you with information. We can also provide you with manpower to help you. Of course, in order to provide you with manpower, you must pay a portion of the money to the alliance. Moreover, you must also pay those people a commission."
