Chapter 387 - Structure of State-level Organizations
Benjamin's plan was quietly unfolding in Freden. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After all, they had to guard against the eyes and ears of the church, so they were very careful. His mages traveled to various cities, bought remote houses as strongholds, and began to contact the local mages.
At the beginning, they did not reveal their identities when they came into contact, and only after confirming that the other party was not a spy did they secretly reveal information about the team.
In this way, Benjamin also received a lot of feedback from mages across the country.
The Manifesto of Free Magic was popular, and the circulation was greater than he had imagined. Although he only printed fifteen hundred copies, the mages were even willing to copy it by hand for the sake of it. Nowadays, most of the people circulating in the circle are manuscripts. The original was even treated as some kind of symbolic collectible, carefully kept away by some mages.
As a result, their desire to rebel against the church is also very high. In some cities, the rudiments of underground organizations have even formed, spontaneously fighting against the church. For example, the construction of churches that was suspended due to the "Triangle Ghost" has now become a garbage dump in various places, and even if the church wants to restart construction, it is estimated that it will not be able to do so.
Knowing this, Benjamin immediately realized that these were all potential members of him!
Therefore, he immediately sent letters to his subordinates everywhere - to find a way to find these individual rebel groups. He's going to get in touch with them right away.
Soon, in the city of Rand, Benjamin met with the two mages of Aiden and Norman, the leaders of the local anti-church group, in his hotel room.
"You, hello, my lord, you...... Is that the compiler of the Free Magic Manifesto?"
The two mages looked at Benjamin with incredulous and somewhat nervous expressions. Aiden took a deep breath and asked.
He was a little surprised. Could it be that this book was written by such a young mage?
"I can't say I made it up, it's the result of our teamwork. More than twenty participating mages, each of whom wrote about their anger against the church, into the book. Benjamin replied with a smile.
Hearing this, the two also nodded.
Just as they guessed, the other party really already has a mature and close force, which is not at all comparable to their petty fighting.
It's just that......
"I wonder if the 'Triangle Ghost' a few days ago also has something to do with you?" Aiden couldn't help but ask.
"Well...... Benjamin hesitated, "I guess, every priest is my own hand." However, this matter is still very troublesome, so please don't tell anyone. ”
Aiden nodded hurriedly: "Of course." ”
But in his heart, he could hardly contain his shock.
There is such a team, which exists in Freden. On the one hand, they confronted the Church head-on, killing dozens of priests in a row, forcing the Church to give in, and on the other hand, they also issued a manual to change the ecology of the mage circle, encouraging other mages in the country to have the courage to stand up and stand up against the church.
At that moment, Aiden even felt a little lucky.
"You...... What an amazing person. ”
It was hard for him to imagine what Fredden would have become if it weren't for the young mage in front of him.
"Is there one?" said Benjamin, scratching his head, "you don't need to praise me so much, I'm just trying to make my life better." ”
Aiden shook his head, looked at Norman, and then spoke:
"My lord, we hope to be able to join you. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he also put away his relaxed demeanor, and said with a straight face: "Have you figured it out? Although it has not been exposed, we are already wanted criminals in the whole territory of Freden." Join us, and you may be in terrible danger at any moment. ”
The two nodded without hesitation: "We have already thought about it." ”
If the church is not eradicated, the mage will not have a day of peace. They have come to realize this. What's more, they have also found a lot of trouble in the church, and they have already had a certain awareness in their hearts.
The reason is very simple, it is true that they are afraid of death, but there is still a choice between dying in a nest and not so much.
"In that case, then you are one of us. Benjamin smiled, suddenly took out two special badges, and handed them to the two of them, "You keep this thing carefully, it is the only proof of identity." We will notify you of future actions through our contacts in this city. ”
Hearing this, Aiden took a deep breath, as if shouldering a sense of mission, and took the badge handed over by the other party.
I saw that the badge was a dark blue triangle with a regular shape, but a small opening was missing in the corner on one side, revealing a simple sense of mystery.
"Triangle Ghost......" he muttered.
He knew that this pattern was the mark left next to each corpse when the priest died in a series of deaths. There are a lot of folk rumors about this, and he is also a little curious.
"What does this pattern mean?"
Benjamin thought for a moment and replied, "It's water." ”
"Water?"
Benjamin smiled and said, "Water is the source of everything, it seems gentle and harmless, but when countless drops of water come together, it can become a torrent that no one can stop, destroying anything that stands in its way." ”
"Gather together,......" Aiden was stunned, then nodded vigorously and said, "I think I understand what you mean." ”
Benjamin continued to smile and said nothing.
But in the heart.
...... What's the point, but just a few days ago, he felt that they had to have a badge, and after thinking about it for a long time to no avail, in the end, he had to take out the characters of the consciousness space, and then give it some connotation, as the shape of their badge.
However, the meaning of this triangle should also be "water" in a magical sense. So, it can't be said that he is lying. He just used this thing to help him create some sense of ritual.
--In order to build a national-level organization, a sense of ritual is extremely important.
"We also have some friends who would love to be able to stand up to the church. Can they join in too?" Aiden asked, accepting the badge.
"Absolutely. Benjamin nodded, "You can be their leader and help plan the anti-church movement in Rand City." However, there are some things that you should also be aware of, there will be undercover agents among the mages. You must be careful in the future, once the identity of the contact is known to the undercover agent, all of our members in Rand City will be in danger. ”
This is also his plan for the entire organizational structure in the future.
As the number of people increases, so does the risk of exposure. Therefore, Benjamin will not directly lead everyone, as he did before. He will set up a contact person and a mage leader in each city, the contact person will be responsible for communicating his orders, and the mage leader will be responsible for communicating to other mages, and coordinate the details of each city.
In this way, even if any undercover agent gets in, the entire organization will not be exposed.
Of course, this hierarchical system seems to have a bit of a bureaucratic shadow, but if it is really not graded, it is impossible. There are advantages and disadvantages, and he will try his best not to let the shortcomings of this system affect their actions.
Benjamin is still optimistic about this.
Any system will eventually become rigid and rotten, but at least, in the beginning, they will be as enthusiastic and alive as newborns.
