After returning to the inn where they were temporarily staying, a dark mage angrily said to Master Edwin: "These Pridizens are simply too bullying, we have been waiting in Pritz City for so many days, they don't care at all, an envoy of the Church of Light came to send an invitation, and they actually took it as a big deal, which is obviously saying that our Dark Council is not as good as the Church of Light!"

Mage Edwin glanced at the dark mage and said slowly, "Then do you think we are stronger than the Church of Light?"

"This ......" The dark mage stagnated slightly, whether it was from the secular strength or from the number of believers, whether it was high-end force or ordinary mage, the Dark Council had no way to compare with the Church of Light, and as the Church of Light continued to increase its attack on the Dark Council, the strength of the Dark Council has shrunk more and more in recent years, and it is about to become a third-rate sect.

"If it weren't for joining forces with the Cult of the Undead, the Dark Council alone would not be able to compete with the Church of Light at all, in the eyes of those ordinary people, there is only the Sect of Light and no Dark Council, and even in the Western Continent, where the Sect of Light is located, because the power of the Council has been evacuated for many years, the residents there don't even know about the existence of the Dark Council. This is the current state of our Dark Council, and every one of us Dark Mages must understand that if we don't work hard, the Council will die at our hands sooner or later. Master Edwin whispered.

Mage Edwin is from the royal family of Lorraine, and his vision is naturally different from that of ordinary dark mages, and he only has the magical attributes of the dark element since he was a child, and he has to practice dark magic, so his understanding of the Dark Council is naturally different from others, and it can be said that he is a rare sober-minded person in the Dark Council.

"But...... But if this continues, how can we complete the task assigned by the Speaker?" Even if Mage Edwin had a point, it was now a mission, and the dark mages had to rush into the fire.

Looking at the appearance of these dark mages, Master Edwin gently took off the hood that had been covering his face, revealing an old face, and said with a mysterious smile on his face: "Don't worry, think about the words of the Governor Turt just now, why is it inconvenient for the Grand Duke of Pritz to receive us because of the existence of the envoy of the Church of Light?"

Hearing Master Edwin's question, a dark mage immediately replied without thinking, "Of course, it was because of the fear that by exposing our existence, the Church of Light would misunderstand that they were colluding with the Dark Council in private!"

With a pop, Master Edwin snapped his fingers, "That's right, so what if we're exposed?"

Mage Edwin's words made the dark mages gasp in unison, since they can become magicians, they are naturally not stupid, and they immediately understood the meaning of Master Edwin's words.

"Good idea! Let the envoy of the Church of Light find out that there are so many dark mages in Pritz City, and they will definitely think that the Principality of Pritz has some unsightly connection with the Parliament, and with the dominance of the Church of Light, it will naturally not tolerate the Principality of Pritz, so the Grand Duke of Pritz will have to lean towards the Parliament!" a dark mage exclaimed in amazement.

The dark mages who are accustomed to walking in the dark naturally have some influence on their temperament and temperament, and it is very normal for them to have any intrigues and unscrupulous means, and Master Edwin's idea has a good chance of success, so the dark mages easily accepted this idea.

Leo, who was still doing daily training in the Grand Duke's Mansion, could not have imagined that a prevaricating excuse he had casually come up with would be used by the dark mages as a lifesaver to force him to join the Dark Council.

On the day of the decision, the dark mages who were in a hurry to complete the task appeared separately in the streets and alleys of Pritz City, instead of their previous low-key and cover-up style, they deliberately gathered in crowded places, and at the same time kept inquiring about the whereabouts of the envoys of the Church of Light.

A black one-piece cloak covers the whole body, and the hood is lowered so that people can't see their faces clearly, and this kind of dress naturally attracts the attention of the citizens of Pritz City as soon as it appears on the busy street. Since there are often magicians here to buy some magic materials, both ordinary residents and mercenaries have more or less heard some rumors about dark mages, and at this time, as soon as they saw that there was really someone suspected of being a dark mage, it immediately caused a sensation in the city.

However, what the dark mages did not expect was that the Pridz people did not flee in all directions as they expected, but instead approached one after another, pointing and talking at them, and the expression and gesture were like watching some rare creature, which made the dark mages feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey, I say, are you a dark mage?" a rugged-looking mercenary man asked in a loud voice to a dark mage, and his question also set off a lot of discussion among the people.

I didn't expect to be questioned face-to-face if I was a dark mage, this dark mage felt a little unreal, but when I thought that my purpose was to expose my whereabouts, he gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes, I am a dark mage!"

As soon as these words came out, the imaginary exclamations and panic did not appear, but the mercenary man laughed, turned his head and showed off to his mercenary companion loudly: "How is it! Look at this dress, I will say that it must be a dark mage! Nile, you lose, don't forget that all the money for the wine tonight is from you!"

"You...... You...... Aren't you afraid of the dark mage?" The performance of the mercenary man's rough lines made the dark mage a little unacceptable, and he couldn't help but ask.

"What's there to be afraid of? Aren't you just a dark mage?!In Pritz City, whether it's a light mage or a dark mage, even if you're a necromancer, you have to honestly abide by the order here, or ......" The mercenary man stretched out his finger and pointed to a group of dragon-blooded goblins passing through the street.

The dark mage's gaze followed his finger to the dragon-blooded goblin, and the face under the hood couldn't help but show a look of shock. He couldn't believe his eyes, this was actually a team of goblins with dragon blood, and the Grand Duke of Pritz had wasted the precious dragon blood on the lowliest creature on the continent, which was simply a tyrannical thing.

"Those dragon-blooded goblins have the ability to resist magic, and there are tens of thousands of such goblins in Pritz City, not to mention you as a little dark mage, even if you are a necromancer in Pritz City, you have to be honest with your tail between your legs!" said the mercenary man with disdain to the obviously sluggish dark mage.
