038 Dark Witch Society
Duke had never heard of the term Dark Witch Society, and there was not even the slightest trace of it in his memory, so it could be said that he knew nothing.
Seeing Duke's blank face, Gandalf naturally knew that Duke didn't know anything about the Dark Witch Society, so he saw a wry smile on his face and said, "The reason why I am called a dark mage and sealed in the dungeon of Storm Castle by the Divine Punishment Chain is because I am a member of the Dark Witch Society. ”
"What the hell is the Dark Witch Society, a group of dark evil magicians?"
Hearing Duke's words, Gandalf immediately shook his finger and denied: "No, we are just standing on the opposite side of the Holy See, which claims to be light, so they slander it as darkness. In fact, the members of the Dark Witchcraft are just elemental mages who disagree with the Holy See, and witches who have been condemned as evil heretics, and we are all pure and good in nature. ”
It's the same as the truth, and you're still pure and kind?" Duke thought with disdain in his heart, Gandalf's cheeky gold on his face, quite a bit of his own style.
Seeing the obvious look of disdain on Duke's face, Gandalf's IQ naturally understood what Duke was thinking, so he threatened angrily: "Little guy, are you questioning a noble archmage, don't you believe my words?"
"Believe!
Duke replied very perfunctorily, because this is not the point, no matter what he is a dark witch, he is not a good thing anyway, and the most important point now is how to keep the porcelain firing going.
So Duke quickly turned the subject back to square one and asked, "Gandalf, are you going to tell me how the Dark Witch will solve the porcelain firing problem, do you plan to lead a group of dark mages to Stormcastle?"
"Do you think that a group of dark mages has arrived in Stormcastle, and the Kasmailna Divine Stick will not be aware of it at all? And the number of dark mages is even rarer than you think, after all, there are few mages in the first place, and even fewer have the courage to oppose the Holy See. ”
"Don't beat around the bush, just say it!"
Duke sensed that Gandalf today was a little strange, not quite in line with his previous personality, and a little grinding.
"Be patient, young man!" Gandalf replied dissatisfiedly, then he looked at Duke and added, "It's not a magician, it's a witch." ”
It's a new term, but luckily, both Duke's memories and his own memories are familiar with the term.
Witches can be simply summarized as women who can use magic, but in this world, all witches have been condemned as heretics by the Holy See, and even launched a huge "witch trial".
The reason is simple, because most witches have healing powers, and even understand the curative effects of herbs like Chinese medicine, and in this Middle Ages, when there was a shortage of medical treatment, it was easy to gain the support of the people. What's more, most witches don't admit that their magical powers come from God, but rather believe that they are naturally given magic powers, just like elves.
So the result is obvious, the witch's mind is heretical, and the existence has broken the Holy See's monopoly on medical resources, and it is strange not to be hunted down and killed. In a sense, theocracy is the same as secular power, that is, it is to exterminate all existence that threatens its rule.
Witches have become the face of demons on the continent, and after years of propaganda by the Holy See, this idea has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the common people are convinced. Thus began a massive "witch hunt" operation, in which hundreds of thousands of women were victimized over the centuries. Among these hundreds of thousands of people were not only witches, but also women who did not obey the church, pagans, priestesses, and many beautiful women who were hated were falsely accused of being witches and often ended up dying.
This is the reason why Gandalf is hesitant, because unlike the dark mage, as a noble magician, even if he is depraved, he is also an existence that ordinary people look up to. But witches are different, the status of women is underground, witches are even more avoidable existence, just like the epidemic, Gandalf is worried that Duke also thinks like ordinary people, has an instinctive resistance to witches.
But Gandalf was wrong, if the world is the least malicious person towards witches, then Duke must be able to rank up, and he will be reborn in the future, naturally knowing how dark and cruel the "witch trial" is, how can he be deceived by the Holy See like ordinary people?
So Duke didn't think much about it at all, and replied to Gandalf: "Witch, as long as you can control the magic array to fire porcelain, you can watch it." ”
Gandalf was a little incredulous to hear Duke say yes so lightly, and he opened his mouth to look at Duke in surprise.
Seeing Gandalf's surprised look, Duke naturally knew what he was surprised about, so Duke replied with a wicked smile on his face: "Gandalf, you will know in the future that compared to witches, I am the real heretic of the Holy See!"
"By the way, Gandalf, weren't you a high-level mage before, when did you become an archmage?"
This was something Duke had been puzzled about before, but he had never found a chance to ask Gandalf about it.
Perhaps he felt that he was too uncalm in front of the young man Duke, so after Gandalf heard this, he quickly reverted to his familiar image of pretending, put his hands behind his back and said conceitedly: "I have always been the strength of the Great Magister, and I only covered it up to avoid imprisoning the Holy City of Constantinople, little guy, do you know what the four words of the Great Magister represent?"
Sensing that Gandalf was about to pretend to brag again, Duke quickly interrupted him and said, "Thanks, I don't want to know, you can leave and close the door by the way." ”
Duke's decisive answer once again made Gandalf stunned in place, no one had ever dared to be so arrogant to the Grand Magus! Thinking of his own time burning porcelain in the blast furnace with the ceramicist every day, even in the dungeon, Gandalf did not feel that he was so despised, and a rare sense of grievance actually appeared in Gandalf's emotions.
"Little one, I must make you understand that there should be respect for the Grand Magus!"
When Duke heard Gandalf say this, he felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, a fireball instantly appeared in Gandalf's hand, and then smashed directly towards him. Maybe it was because he was trained by Princess Jina's sword qi before, but this time Duke's reaction was very fast, and he immediately rolled to the side.
"Boom~~!", Duke's entire desk was blown apart, and Duke was also frightened by Mars and crawled to the side.
"Hmph!" Gandalf snorted coldly, feeling a sense of revenge in his heart, and walked away with his head held high.
Looking at Gandalf's back, Duke was also very aggrieved in his heart, how could he be reborn in such a rookie, it was simply bullied!
