Chapter 430: Subversive Light Magic

Benjamin's preparation took about a week. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mages arrived in various cities, disguised as hunters, farmers, and traders...... Silently spread throughout Carites. A week may not be enough to be a jack of all trades, but at least you can integrate into the local life and gradually become familiar with everything in the city without being noticed by the church.

The news also came from all over the country with magic props, and so far it was going well, and Benjamin was also relieved.

At this step, what he was most afraid of was that the mages under him would accidentally reveal some clues and be discovered by the church. If this kind of thing really happens, even if they don't expose all of them, they will at least "lose contact" with several mages.

However, the church at this moment is probably not thinking about this.

Although no news spread, Miles had just been informed that seven or eight priest leaders had already been assassinated by him. Now there was some uneasiness within the church, and the king said that he had seen the bishop's face much more ugly these days.

To this, Benjamin said, "Why are there only seven or eight? No, do you know how many of them I killed in a row when I was in Fredon?"

“...... You're amazing. ”

Miles was speechless.

In any case, the successive deaths of such priests have put a lot of pressure on the church. I heard that the church has begun to suspect that Benjamin has come to Caritus, so they have set a trap against him in the remaining strongholds. Unfortunately, it was not Benjamin who carried out the assassination.

Therefore, the trap they set is useless. Miles killed a few more people in a row, and the church was in a fog, and it was not known who was targeting them.

However, the whole assassination operation ended there. The church's vigilance was further strengthened, and Miles also said that if he continued to act, he might be found by the church and implicated in the king, so he chose to give up.

Benjamin was still very satisfied with this result.

The church's attention was drawn, and his priests panicked, and Benjamin found an opportunity to put down roots in Carrets and survive the most difficult early days.

After that, it's up to them.

The Manifesto of Free Magic 2.0 has been preliminarily completed and is officially in print. This version of the manifesto is almost completely different from the previous one, and if you don't look closely, it looks like a comic book. The entire booklet is mostly composed of pictures and brief text descriptions, and the basic meditation methods are expressed almost in a form similar to that of the internal power atlas.

As for the spells, Frank's research had some difficulties. In the end, in the form of pictograms, he described only six spells, one each of light, dark, water, earth, fire, and wind, and the rest of the spells were written in the usual way.

But......

That's right, they wrote about the magic and called it light magic.

Removing the graphical expression of Manifesto 2.0 is probably the biggest difference between the two editions.

In essence, the two are the same thing, but the division of factions and the opposition between the two for so many years eventually led to the impression that magic and magic were incompatible. Benjamin didn't expect to be able to dispel that impression, however, he didn't mind mudding the water even more.

-- He was looking forward to the look on the faces of the church people when they saw this part.

Of course, adding light magic to the mix isn't just about off the church. The Church has always regarded their "divine magic" as a treasure, and has always said things like "it must be pious faith", "it must be refined by the Holy Light", "it can only be used by those who are pure in heart", and they have made their magic very mysterious in order to build their authority.

And what Benjamin wants is to rip that mask of a ghost off the face of the church!

It doesn't need any religious faith, and it has nothing to do with inner purity, and with a little talent, you can use the simplest of flashes - what the church calls "the light shines."

Benjamin wanted to prove to the world that magic is nothing special, and magic is nothing great, just one of human talents.

This makes Manifesto 2.0 have another subversive meaning in addition to popularizing magic.

After the whole booklet was written, Benjamin also took great care about the printing. This is no more than the original demand for print runs. At first, Benjamin also hoped to print 100,000 copies, but due to various technical and financial constraints, they still set the number at 10,000.

-- If they print 100,000 copies, no matter how careful they are when they contact the printing workshop, they will probably be noticed by the church.

In this way, using various pseudonyms and identities, they contacted more than 30 printing workshops across the country, and finally printed a new edition of the "Declaration of Freedom and Magic" with a total of 10,000 copies. In the meantime, the king provided them with financial support, and Benjamin did the rest of the work, which was quite laborious.

The whole process took about another week. Over the course of the week, Benjamin had traveled all of Carrets to check the situation in each city before customizing the distribution plan for the rest of the week.

They decided to start with the tavern anyway.

Taverns are the most common place for ordinary people to socialize, and in that environment, it doesn't seem suspicious for strangers to talk casually. And those who frequent the tavern are also open and receptive to new things.

"Hey, brother, do you want to be a mage?"

"What...... I-me? Can I be a mage?"

"Don't say I'm lying to you, you can take this book back and read it, practice it for a few days, maybe you really become a mage. However, even if you don't have the talent for it, you can take it back and give it to your child!"

"Really...... How much does this book cost?"

"Don't want money. You can take it back to the corner of the table, or you can watch and play when you are bored, and there may be a surprise. ”

"It's so mysterious, don't lie to me......"

After Freden's struggle, Benjamin's mages have all been trained to be like Amway employees, and they are not very sophisticated. Coupled with the mystery of magic and the mentality of ordinary people "if you don't want money, take it", this kind of pamphlet distribution is still quite popular.

Nine out of ten people will accept it, and after the other one does, they will say, "Give me a few more copies." ”

Magic is a supernatural force high up above, and these people have little reason to refuse. The brainwashing work of the church has only just begun, and the believers they have cultivated are obviously not going to go to the tavern.

However, because there may also be church eyeliner in the tavern. Therefore, the mages acted very carefully, almost changing places after issuing one book, and changing their outfits after sending ten copies, so as to avoid the church from sending people to arrest them if they found out.

In fact, the church did quickly discover this phenomenon.

"Lord Bishop, tonight, in the Hearthfire Tavern south of Glory, there are unknown people deliberately handing out this thing, and it feels suspicious. ”

In the palace, a spy dressed as a fisherman bowed deeply and handed a new copy of the Declaration of the Free Mage to the bishop opposite.

The strange bishop frowned, took the pamphlet, and after just one glance, his face became a little ugly.

"Freedom Mage Manifesto...... That guy really came to Caritus!"

He immediately opened the booklet and looked inside, and the more he looked, the more gloomy his expression became.

And when he saw the part of the magic of the light system.

Shhh

At that moment, his face became extremely exciting. It was as if someone had poured a pot of urine into his wine glass, and with a single effort on the hands holding the booklet, he tore the whole book in half.

"Sinner! You can even say such a thing, this unforgivable sinner!"

The spies were also taken aback by the bishop's angry appearance.

"Lord and Bishop?"

The Bishop took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and said in a very gloomy voice, "Inform your companions, investigate the people who distribute this thing in the tavern, and find out their leaders and their lair. Be careful not to rush into action, and not to let them notice all this. ”

When the spy heard this, he immediately nodded.

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

And just like that, the spy walked away quickly. The bishop looked at the manual that had been torn in half on the ground, still showing an angry expression, and summoned a ball of golden flames, until the manual was burned to the point that there was not even a trace of ash left, and then he reluctantly stopped.
