Chapter 848: The Black Nightmare Society
The next morning, many people found "graffiti" on the wall of the warehouse area.
In fact, compared to the graffiti that appeared before, this time it can be called a mural or a relief, as if a craftsman carved it out with a knife. And when the priest of the local church arrived in a hurry, he immediately showed a headache.
"This ...... Didn't you just brush it off with paint? Who did this?"
"I don't know. The guard on the side replied, "I asked the nearby security guards, and they didn't notice any suspicious people last night, so it was just a prank." ”
"Prank, do you see what is written on it? This is a great disrespect to God!" the priest seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and immediately turned to the guard, "the last insult you only covered up, and you couldn't even catch a single culprit, but what about this time? I tell you, if you continue like this, you will be punished by the gods!"
"Yes yes yes ......"
Several of the guards lowered their heads in scolding and said yes repeatedly, but a little impatience began to flash in their eyes.
"I don't care what you say, find me the culprit. The priest continued, "As for what is on this wall, you should cover it up for me!"
Hearing this, the guard raised his head again: "Your Excellency...... It's engraved on it, how can you cover it?"
"That is God's test for you, not for me. The priest snorted with some displeasure and said, "Don't let anyone see what is on this wall, or you will bear the consequences." ”
With that, he turned around and left the place with an ugly expression. The guards looked at his departing back, looked at each other, and shook their heads at each other.
"What to do?" one of the guards asked suddenly.
“...... Forget it, whatever!" said the captain of the guard, "If you want to get rid of it, you can only repair the whole wall, who will pay for it?" Keep it, and the people from the church will come and ask and prevaricate back." ”
"That'...... What if there is a divine punishment?"
"That's the fault of these priests. The captain shook his head, turned around as well, and waved to a few people, "Let's go, there's still something busy at the city hall!"
In this way, the people of the church and the government left one after another, leaving the slogans and villain paintings on the walls in the warehouse area. The remote and deserted warehouse area, because of this wall, gradually began to stop and stay.
People were talking about the posters of the previous days, about the chaos in the country, about the growing number of anti-church slogans on the streets. As for some of the more sensitive people, they suddenly seemed to notice something, and began to gather towards the tavern in the city.
In the middle of the night, the tavern is still as lively as day. The densely packed seats were full of people, and in the dim light, the strong smell of alcohol set off the conversation even more noisy.
No one noticed that some faces that were not often seen in the tavern crept through the crowd.
"Have you seen the wall of the warehouse in the south of the city? I don't know who made it, but they are so bold that they carved it with a knife, and those people can......'t do anything about it."
"Hey, are you talking about those words written on the wall?"
"yes, what?
"Nothing, though...... If you think those words are interesting, the Nightmare Society will find out. ”
Whenever someone in the tavern was discussing and expressing dissatisfaction with the church, someone would come up to talk to him, sometimes showing a pamphlet with an untitled title, sometimes mentioning an object called the "Nightmare Society".
Sometimes, the two sides will continue to talk, and sometimes they will simply touch each other and then turn away...... In short, if you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that there is a shadow of some kind of organization in the taverns of Koster.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't you think the things painted on the walls actually make sense? The church collects the most money, baptisms, worship, indulgences...... But he didn't do anything. Don't you want to follow the church to find some unhappiness?"
When asked, some people shake their heads in fear and panic, while others raise their eyebrows and look interested.
- Most of the people asked were already three or four points drunk, and it was difficult to hide their likes and dislikes. Some even got excited and hit it off, gushing about how much they didn't like the church.
At the end of the day, they either choose to accept the pamphlet or get an invitation from the other party.
- An invitation to join the "Nightmare Society".
Over the course of several days, such a sight appeared several times in several of Koster's taverns, and also attracted the attention of some people. However, the environment of the tavern is already chaotic, and it is difficult to find a few people with ulterior motives. After a few days, the phenomenon quickly disappeared, so gradually no one paid attention.
However, in the attic of the stronghold of the dark department of Koster Academy......
"I didn't expect so many people to be unaccustomed to the style of the church. ”
Benjamin counted the remaining invitations, breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh.
There is no doubt that the person who has been in the tavern these days is him and the intelligence officers of the secret department of several other academies. After leaving the frescoes in the warehouse area, they went into action and began to woo the first rebels of the Kingdom of Hori.
Since there is a co-optation, there must be a formed organization. The Academy of Magic does not belong to any country, and this organization that rebels against the Church should represent the Kingdom of Hori and the will of the local people. Therefore, Benjamin came up with the name "Black Nightmare Society".
— will be a nightmare for the church, that's the moral of it.
"Secondary 2 is old-fashioned, and the underground punk bands of the last century would not have given this name. The system rightfully began to complain about his ability to make a name, but Benjamin was used to it and ignored it at all.
In the tavern's publicity, they probably sent out a few hundred invitations, which is not much, but it is quite a good start. The key at the moment is not to make the church aware of their actions, so everything is still very low-key, and the Nightmare Society only keeps a small amount of propaganda. Even if the church hears this name, it should think that it is just a prank or some kind of gangster, and it will not particularly care.
As for the Manifesto of Free Magic, the book has definitely long been infamous within the church. Therefore, he tore off the cover of the pamphlet, and when he was pulling people in the tavern, if he met someone with magical talents, he would send the book out by the way, and contribute to the training of the native mages of the Hori Kingdom.
"I think...... These people can be a little unreliable. The king watched everything and couldn't help but say, "A bunch of drunkards, can I only rely on them to regain the throne?"
He seemed to regret a little bit of following Benjamin's decision to act.
"Alcoholics also have energy that should not be underestimated. Benjamin advised, "It doesn't really matter who they are, the important thing is that they are from the Kingdom of Hori, and they are very dissatisfied with the church, and that is enough." ”
The king obviously did not understand this at the moment.
However, he had no other choice, nodded his head, and asked again, "So...... How many people do you think will be able to come to the rally in a few days?"
When Benjamin heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Well...... Twenty of them. I'll be thankful that twenty will come. ”
The king was dumbfounded, speechless.
