"It's just the two of us in the entire Dream Palace...... Teacher, you should call me Rudy. The Shadow Speaker on the throne sighed deeply: "I am particularly worried now that the research results of the Shadow Council for nearly 30 years cannot be sustained. ”

Charlie took a step forward and appeared on the high platform, and an obsidian throne appeared under him, level with the position of the Speaker of the Shadows. At the most bleak time, the speaker guarded the secrets of the dream palace alone. Today, there are only 5 members of the Black-robed Guardian Order, and the academic faction is withering, except for me, an old fellow, no one else has reached the magic level of a level 6 mage...... I'm afraid the Shadow Council is really going into hibernation. ”

Rudy was silent, shook his head and said, "Teacher Charlie, you don't have to test me. I can't say anything about the secret method of inheritance of the Shadow Speaker's lineage. But I can guarantee that I will never stop this line!"

Charlie stared into Speaker Rudy's eyes and said, "As long as the Trigovar family is still in charge of the Inquisition, the Black-robed Cathar will not be broken. Although my time is running out, in the future, there will always be a black-robed priest who has achieved level 6 mage and entered the Dream Palace. If he couldn't see the Shadow Keeper in the hall, then the inheritance of the Shadow Council would really be broken. You secret keepers are always in the same vein, and I'm really afraid that something will go wrong with you. ”

"No, it won't!"

Speaker Rudy thought for a moment and added, "This is not the first time that the Council of Shadows has entered a period of hibernation. Teachers don't have to worry. ”

"I hope so. ”

There is only one Black-robed Cathar and two in the Council of Shadows.

Trigovar may have cultivated the Black-robed Guardians as a family force, but the Black-robed Priest did not. They have lofty ideals and pursuits, and have made outstanding contributions to the Church and the entire human kingdom.

The awakening of the wizard appears randomly, and its natural abilities are even more bizarre. As early as 1,700 years ago, in a major city in the heart of the Iron Mountain Empire, a free man awakened his gift for plague, and he caused more than 17,000 people to die of disease during his migration. The church and the lords were helpless against the sudden great plague, and it was not until the Pope cast a great prophecy that the clergy caught the culprit. Sadly, the wizard himself didn't know what was going on.

It was the worst wizarding accident in human history.

In view of this, the priest of the Monastery of the Holy Mountain, Ulleric, clearly proposed the idea of a black-robed cathar. He believed that the current wizards were the lambs of the church, and that they could provide the power of faith. The clergy, with their repressive measures against shamans, would have better than bring the shamanic community under the supervision of the church. Only in this way can the same tragedy be avoided.

The church can select strong and gifted wizards from among the followers of the El Nation to form a black-robed cathar. The black-robed priest is responsible for guiding ordinary wizards to abandon their own witchcraft talents and specialize in spiritual meditation in the Mage Council. Wizards can only increase their own mana, but there are no spell models available. In this way, even the most talented wizards become weak mages. They could not threaten the security of the human kingdom.

Priest Ulerik had a good idea, but he made a mistake of principle.

The first popes created the Glorious Church by suppressing the Chosen One. Ullerick openly declared that the Church should unite with wizards. Where did his argument lay for the theocratic orthodoxy of the papal lineage, when Pope Paul III was planning to use the extermination of the wizarding order as a pretext to strike at the aristocracy within the Church. Ulleric literally gave his head to the Pope's sacrificial flag.

When Paul III founded the Inquisition, his first order was to purge the Church of heresy.

Ulleric died, but his pragmatic ideas were inherited by Trigovar and the Monastery of the Holy Mountain.

Trigovar, with the help of the priests of the Monastery of the Holy Mountain, perfected the concept of self-redemption, organizational structure and principles of the Black-robed Guardian Order.

The Black-robed Guardians have a chief and a secondary. They practice a special spiritual meditation method, and their bodies will gradually weaken until they are paralyzed, and they can only be trapped in the tower designated by the Inquisition, living in isolation. However, their souls become more powerful as their magic grows, and they are able to possess the pet and grant it certain spell-casting abilities, such as insight to distinguish wizards from mortals.

The main job of the chief and second chair is to use the pets to find wizards and monitor the wizard members of the organization.

The black-robed priest immediately contacted the wild wizards who were discovered by the black-robed bishop, prompting them to join the wizarding organization. The black-robed priest was also responsible for serving as a mentor to the wild shamans, teaching them to practice another spiritual meditation method.

This spiritual meditation comes from the collection of the Monastery of the Holy Mountain and is itself significantly flawed. Its only benefit is that it makes the practitioner feel happy and enthusiastic about meditative practice. However, the unique magical attributes are incompatible with the wizard's talent, and the wizard has to spend a short time building a magic circuit if he wants to use his talent. It is always easy for the clergy of the Inquisition to catch such wizards.

The Black-robed Cathars must follow the principle of secrecy. Black-robed priests must never reveal their true identities to wizard disciples. The reason given by the Monastery of the Holy Mountain is unassailable: the secrecy is to avoid being detected by the devil, so that the black-robed priest can secretly observe the evil people within the wizarding organization, so as to complete self-redemption and redeem the wizard. Otherwise, the black-robed priest may be targeted by the devil and eventually slide into the abyss of sin.

The black-robed priest maintains a one-line relationship with the wizard disciples, and Trigovar's secular forces lurk around the wizard disciples in the name of the wizarding organization, helping the Inquisition to grasp the whereabouts of the wild wizards.

Hence the Council of Shadows.

The Black-robed Cathars are undoubtedly the core of the Council of Shadows, but under this organizational structure, the connection between the Black-robed Priests and the Wizard Disciples is severed by the Trigovars.

For thousands of years, the Black-robed Cathar has amassed countless wizard apprentices, and Trigovar has easily harvested countless shadow wizards.

However, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Wizards are unable to use holy powers, and clergy are equally unaware of the mysteries of magic. Although the black-robed bishop did not have powerful spells, they had raised their magic power to level 5, and their IQ, spiritual power, and soul strength had far surpassed that of mortals. They knew very well whether the sorcerer disciples of the Council of Shadows had been tempted by the whisperers and whether they were devout to the Most High Lord. Not all of the wizard disciples purified by the Inquisition were evil ones who listened to the devil's whispers.

But what can the black-robed bishop do when he is paralyzed in the tower? Some of the black-robed bishops questioned the Inquisition, and the Trigovars always came up with high-sounding excuses to keep them speechless. After all, the black-robed bishop was isolated from the world, had too little information about the outside world, and had not established a deep relationship with the wizard disciples.

It can only be said that the organizational structure of the black-robed guardian group designed by the inquisition is too ingenious. The black-robed priests and shadow disciples had no room for resistance.

However, this behavior of the Inquisition is contrary to the purpose of the Black Robe Guardian Order. Trigovar underestimated the black-robed priest's pursuit and persistence in his ideals.

The Black-robed Bishop delves into spiritual meditation methods, spell models, and divine models. They hope that the Shadow Wizards will help the Church develop new magic, that the Inquisition will face up to the value of the Shadow Council, and that the noble ideals of redeeming the Wizards will ultimately be realized.

Through the unremitting efforts of generations of black-robed bishops, the Council of Shadows has achieved remarkable results in meditation and spiritual curse magic. The Inquisition began to adopt a lenient policy towards the Shadow Wizards.

Towering trees have their roots cut off, but as long as there is sunlight, water, soil and air, the earth will eventually produce new flowers.

The Inquisition provided the environment and cover, the Monastery of the Holy Mountain provided the spiritual meditation of the Council of Mages, the Black-robed Bishop had a magical inheritance, and a new Council with organizational cohesion was born.

There will be different voices within any organization. In particular, the Council of Shadows has been artificially split into black-robed priests and shadow wizards.

The black-robed bishop hopes to make a name for himself by delving into divine arts. The Shadow Disciples, on the other hand, wanted to sell the transcendent skills they had learned to the secular lords and become nobles.

The Shadow Council split into the black-robed academic faction and the secular power faction.

For powerful wizards, the Inquisition will kill them before they turn to the secular lords, and none of them will slip through the net. But not all shadow wizards are obsessed with worldly power, and there are also academic wizards who are obsessed with the study of spells. But since they are not black-robed priests, the Inquisition will still purify the shadow wizards of the academic school, as long as their research has nothing to do with the magic crystal.

Many of the theoretical and academic topics of the Shadow Council died in this way. The black-robed bishop was heartbroken, but he was helpless.

700 years ago, the Council of Shadows produced a stunning and brilliant character, Lomon.

Romon's talent is deduction, a talent for witchcraft that is not lethal but is extraordinarily powerful. He developed a new spiritual meditation method and invented the art of deterrence. The contemporary black-robed bishop practiced the Romon meditation method and entered the dream hall built by Romon in his sleep.

The black-robed bishop and the shadow wizard finally had their first face-to-face encounter. The Black-robed Bishop learns about what is happening in the outside world through Romon and Romon also learns the secrets of the Council of Shadows and the Black-robed Cathars.

Trigovar has since lost control of the Council of Shadows.

After more than a dozen contacts and discussions between the two sides, Romon put forward the political proposition of the Shadow Council, which should become a third political force independent of the church and the lords.

He believed that the sorcerers were the prey of the clergy, that the Council of Shadows was attached to the Church, and that the ideals of the black-robed Protectors could not be realized. After careful consideration, the black-robed bishop finally agreed with Romon on his opinion. Together, they developed the organizational structure and development strategy of the Shadow Council, as well as the principles of conduct.

Faith is survival: The Lord of Light is the protector of humanity, and members of the Council of Shadows can only gain a foothold in human society if they believe in the High Lord. Members who have reneged on their faith must be purified by the Inquisition so as not to jeopardize the very existence of the council.

Secret Legacy: A legacy of spells is the foundation for the Shadow Council's growth. Academic wizards should wield the actual power of the Council of Shadows.

Any wizard who can concentrate on pushing the Romon meditation method to level 6 will automatically enter the Dream Palace, and the rest of the wizards can be sacrificed and used. Level 6 wizards exchange academic results and information from the outside world in the Dream Palace, and formulate the development strategy of the Shadow Council. Romon is responsible for recording all the academic results and acts as the Dream Keeper. The Black-robed Bishop is responsible for exchanging the Shadow Council's scholarship for more historical secrets and the legacy of the Council of Mages.

The Secret Keeper escaped from the sight of the black-robed Guardian Order and cultivated the Secret Keeper disciples alone. As long as the Dream Keeper is not extinguished, the legacy of the Shadow Council will not be broken.

Secularization: The Council of Shadows must develop secular power in an effort to enlist the support of the lords and the populace to force the Church to recognize the legitimacy of the shamans. The Dream Keeper serves as the Speaker of the Council of Shadows, and the Black-robed Bishop serves as the Council's messenger herald.

The Inquisition is that the black-robed bishop is the Speaker of the Shadows, but in fact, the power of the Shadow Council is in the hands of the Guardians. The Council of Shadows later created the Advent Technique, which manipulated the Brotherhood of Kamen through the Wizard Councilor. The Shadow Council has been operating in the Eastern Alliance for hundreds of years, forming a huge latent force.

In modern times, many of the major events that have occurred in the human world have been related to the Council of Shadows, and they even participated in the Holy City Rebellion three hundred years ago. At that time, the Shadow Wizards helped the Neovest family in an attempt to re-establish the Rand Empire, but failed. The Pope was inexplicably labeled as colluding with wizards, and a shocking scandal broke out. Neovest was severely scolded by Nakhtigar and no longer dared to shelter the shadow wizard. Trigowal was also scared into a cold sweat and secretly purged the black-robed cathars. The powerful members of the Shadow Council are even more dead. The Council of Shadows entered its longest period of hibernation, and it was not until a black-robed priest entered the Hall of Dreams that the Council of Shadows was back on track.

Trigovar was reluctant to give up the wizard's extraordinary powers. The Council of Shadows, dormant for more than two hundred years, began to become active. The Shadow Wizard is showing signs of getting out of control, and Black-robed Bishop Charlie is deeply worried about it.

"A few years ago, we were hired by the Foxy Ghost to assassinate Viscount Randall. The assassination led to the disappearance of the Bewitcher and the Beastmaster. This time, Rebe went against the decision of the council and secretly handed over the secrets of the Blood Guardian to the Kingdom of Dodor. He wants to betray the Council and become a nobleman of the Duoduo!"

Charlie said coldly: "I hope tomorrow's purification will wake up the other councillors." ”

Speaker Rudy smiled: "The current parliamentarians are all a new generation of powerful wizards, they lack interest in the study of spells, they are superstitious about power and power, and they have not experienced the pain of purification. It is indeed necessary for us to have the Inquisition purify a member of parliament to show them. ”

Charlie nodded and asked, "Did that withdraw all the disciples that Ribe had left in Dodor?"

"The Parliament's cooperation with the House of the Priests cannot be terminated. I have sent for Reber to take over the disciples that Reber left at Dord. ”

"What?" Charlie asked in surprise, "Speaker, didn't you say that the Council was going to infiltrate the lower levels of the kingdoms and co-opt the newly awakened wizard apprentices?"

Speaker Rudy shook his head and said, "Two things happened that forced me to change my mind. ”

"The Kamen Brotherhood has met an opponent in Ascending Rock City. Our Blood Guardians and Shadow Warriors have suffered heavy losses, including the Wizard Willy, who is in charge of liaison. ”

Charlie frowned and said, "Could it be that the Bucks Merchant Group asked the high-ranking knights to make a move?"

On that day, the House of York sent a high-ranking knight to attack and kill the high-ranking knight of the Ludwig family. But before that, our Blood Guardians and Shadow Warriors were met with a powerful resistance. It is impossible for the High Knights to participate in the struggle of the lower ranks. Moreover, Willy is attacked by the Secret Word Curse. ”

"I don't think that the spiritual power of a high-ranking knight can force a third-level wizard to reveal his secret...... Unless it was His Majesty the Centaur Hills who did it himself. This is obviously impossible. Speaker Rudy said, "I suspect that the Three Kingdoms of the South also harbor a secret wizarding organization. They also wanted to build up their power at the bottom of the kingdom. ”

The black-robed bishop thought for a long time, then bowed his head and said, "It's very likely." The Divine Knights have an extraordinary attraction, and there are always many forces gathered around them. Since that mysterious organization helped the Marquess of Wimbledon fight against the Brotherhood of Kamen, it is likely that they want to take refuge in Centaur Hills. ”

Speaker Rudy smiled bitterly, "So, our plan to infiltrate the bottom of the Western Kingdom and gather wizard apprentices has failed......"

"Another thing, there was a riot of displaced people in Dengshi City, killing and injuring more than 3,000 people. Pope Clement emerged as the biggest winner. The Cardinal ordered all the lords to postpone the dispersal of the camp and to arrange the relocation of the homeless people. ”

"What does this have to do with us?" asked the black-robed bishop, confused.

Speaker Rudy shook his head and sighed: "Pope Clement is the main promoter of the new farming and pastoral system, and he now has the right to distribute the displaced population, and the new farming and pastoral will cover all the territories in a few years. The strength of the kingdoms will be greatly improved. Our original strategy was to infiltrate the western kingdoms and the lower reaches of the Sassan Empire, gather wizard apprentices, and build up strength to help the Sassan Empire fight against the orcs of the northern wilderness. ”

"We don't care that much to Lord Sarsan anymore. And our plan to infiltrate the lower reaches of the Western Kingdom and co-opt wizard apprentices has failed. Our only option now is to go down the upper route and have the royal family of Dodor help us gather wizard apprentices...... Also, the Barcelius family can also be contacted. Speaker Rudy said in a deep voice, "Of course, this may cause alarm in the Trigovar family. However, if we did not achieve anything in the era of great development, it would be difficult to gain the support of the lords and the people. ”

“...... That's right. The black-robed bishop muttered to himself, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Can we choose to serve the centaur hills?" We have the protection and support of the god knights, and Trigovar does not dare to act rashly. ”

Speaker Rudy groaned, "I've thought about it too...... We now turn to the Centaur Hills and meet that strong contender. In addition, the forces formed by the Spirit Knights are always short-lived and difficult to last. Let's use the power of Friedrich and the Barcelius family to strengthen the council first, and when Viscount Randall becomes a sun elf, it's not too late to contact Centaur Hills. ”

"Your Excellency, you have thought it through. The black-robed bishop said convincingly.
