Cassano's new round of magical apprenticeship selection has begun again, and this time Ryan has relaxed the qualifications of candidates, no longer only from Cassano's permanent residents, but has expanded the entire scope to the area controlled by the Holy Alliance Empire, in other words, even from the Mirror Lake of the Northern Prairie, In Mochizuki City on the edge of the Southern Silent Forest or Freedom Paradise in the commercial capital of the southeast, young people between the ages of 12 and 24, both male and female, are likely to become the personal students of the legendary magician Ryan, as soon as the news was released, the whole continent was sensational, and countless families dragged their children and daughters to the direction of the Iron Fist Castle, hoping to have the opportunity to be selected by the Cassano Magic Guild and start their own magical journey.

In fact, this time the selection of magic apprentices also included the selection of Red's priest freshmen, but the latter has been kept secret from the outside world. When hundreds of thousands of outsiders poured into Cassano, Ryan was also taken aback by everyone's enthusiasm, because there were so many people coming, Ryan had to temporarily stop the teaching of Barbara's magic legion, and let the hundreds of magic apprentices join the selection in public.

The flow of a large number of people has also led to the prosperity of commerce, and Franner's Friendship Chamber of Commerce and Chilaviv's Dorok Business Alliance have mobilized a large number of manpower and materials to go to Cassano to help Ryan do a good job in the logistics of this selection, of course, they have also made a lot of money, so naturally there is no need to go into details.

Ryan didn't like this kind of trivial work the most, so he simply handed over the entire selection to Barbara, and then asked the Natasha sisters to assist her, and in order to prevent the influx of personnel to Cassano to bring Senate's spies and spies to sabotage work, Ryan sent Sophie's shadow to strengthen the investigation and surveillance in the shadows, and he also took the opportunity to suspend Sophie's tattoo. Reusing Sophie means that Ryan will not abandon the other party, this act is in Sophie's heart, and the suspension of the tattoo for Sophie is also a small warning, and Ryan believes that Sophie will understand his intentions.

As for Ryan himself, he spends his days with Vivien and Adra, not just hugging them and enjoying tenderness, but spending most of his time instructing them in the use of magic. Under the guidance of a legendary powerhouse of the level of Ryan, Adela and Vivien's strength has improved very quickly, and after only 5 days, Adela has completely mastered the new combat method and slowly formed his own style.

Vivien's progress is much slower, after all, Adela's combat methods have only been improved, and Vivien is simply tearing down and relearning, on the one hand, she has to learn archery from the Moon Temple guard Serres, on the other hand, she has to learn how to release magic from Ryan, and then she has to blend the two together, and at the same time she can skillfully release magic attacks such as burst arrows and ice arrows while moving at high speeds, which also keeps her busy.

Just when Ryan thought he had defused this hidden war within, a message from the Imperial Capital was placed on his table, and Ryan was sharing lunch with Vivien and Adela at this time. Ryan was in a good mood, but when he read the whole news, his face immediately turned pale, and his change also startled Vivien and Adra, and the two took the news from Ryan, which ordered why Ryan was so angry.

It turned out that just one day ago, there was a conflict in the Imperial Capital Bright Church, and 12 cardinals broke out in a regular meeting over a trivial matter, and everyone finally broke up. Originally, this was enough, but this quarrel quickly spread to the entire Church of Light, the 12 cardinals were divided into 3 factions, and everyone officially tore their faces, and their priests were now strangers in the Cathedral of San Nebiro, and just in the early hours of last night, there was even an armed conflict between radicals and conservatives.

This is the last thing that Ryan can tolerate, as if he can sit back and watch the women around him have some careful thoughts of his own, but he will never allow this selfishness to affect the overall situation. Now that the Legion of the Undead is eyeing the Church of Light, which has the power to restrain evil creatures, it has broken out into an armed conflict because of some small grudges, what do they want to do? Could it be that the Undead Legion has occupied the entire continent, and will still leave their lowly lives?

One of the three factions divided by the Church of Light is to compromise with Senate, believing that God's honor is the most important thing, and that even a little bumpy road is acceptable in order to restore the dignity of the Holy See. This faction is known as the Radical faction, and there are a total of 6 cardinals, the strongest of them.

The other faction believes that the Church of Light should not have any interaction with evil creatures in any way, otherwise it would be contrary to God's purpose in creating the Church of Light. Now that Senate is inseparable from the Legion of the Undead, and his northern defense line has been completely defended by the Legion of the Undead, the Church of Light should launch a holy war to completely destroy the evil creatures. This faction is called the Conservatives, and they are weaker, with only four cardinals.

The last faction declared that all believers in the Gospel of God should be members of the Church of Light, and the two cardinals advocated uniting all the faithful to re-elect a leader who could lead everyone to a bright future.

The information that Ryan got was obviously carefully collected, and a lot of details were written on it for reference, and there were a lot of annotations, and many things that were not sure would have "rumored" and "unconfirmed" marked, probably because of the first-hand information passed on as soon as possible.

Adela put the information back on the table, and she was the last of the three to read it. Vivien glanced at Adra, then cautiously comforted Ryan and said, "Don't worry, the Imperial Capital is Sister Faras, as well as Master Victor and General Orlando, they will take care of this matter." ”

Ryan shook his head and spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the whole thing was planned by Master Victor behind his back, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Alas, it seems that I was still overly optimistic before, thinking that the elimination of a few careerists would reinvigorate the Church of Light, and it seems that I am still far inferior to Victor. ”

"No wonder Sister Farass suggested that Red form a corps of priests, but she was already expecting this, right?" Adela whispered.

"Actually, I'm not angry, but sad. Ryan smiled bitterly, pointed to this information and said, "Our human strength is not as good as that of dwarves, our agility is not as good as that of elves, our endurance is not as good as that of orcs, and we have no magical talent. We are now the masters of the continent because we are united. Unfortunately, many people forget this, and all kinds of fights arise. ”

Ryan took a sip of water and continued: "You see that such a big thing has happened in the imperial capital now, could it be that Victor used the forbidden spell to force them into an armed conflict? Obviously, this is impossible, I guess Victor just made a trigger, which triggered the ambition in the hearts of these guys, and then ...... Hmph, what is radical, conservative, and neutral, I think they are all the same thing, and the implication of their words is that they are all about restoring the papal system, right? The current struggle is nothing more than to see who will occupy the leading position in the future and who can get more benefits!"

"Believers of God, I think even beggars living in the dirtiest slums are better than these high-ranking bastards! Fortunately, I'm not a priest, otherwise I'd be against this group of scumbags, I'm afraid that I myself would fall to the demigod lich first, at least the undead legion doesn't have so many intrigues, as long as I concentrate on power, and save myself from seeing them angry!" Ryan slammed hard on the table and said fiercely.

Vivien and Adela glanced at each other, but wisely closed their mouths, as if they hadn't heard anything just now, while Ryan continued unsatisfactorily: "Where there are people, there is strife, hehe, I really understand this truth now, and I can't live too comfortably this day." Do you see how many Magister students there were under Master Melen 200 years ago? What about now? In just 200 years, the vast majority of people have fallen, and then they will face a life-and-death crisis again, and once again spend a huge price to reverse, and then let these guys continue to fall?"

When Ryan said this, he suddenly smiled at Vivian: "Even the women around me have some thoughts in their hearts, let alone those who are full of ambition and are in high positions. It's just that the woman around me racked her brains to please me, and having such a mind shows that she cares about me very much, doesn't she? But once these careerists are allowed to fight openly and secretly, the power of human beings will quickly decline, after all, these bastards are not thinking about how to improve their own strength to deal with the crisis, but how to pinch out the forces stronger than themselves so that they can't threaten themselves!"

Vivien and Adela were scared into a cold sweat by Ryan's words, but Ryan said that these were not aimed at the two of them, but just feelings, by the way, he woke up the two women beside him, and after seeing that his words had achieved his goal, Ryan smiled again, pulled Vivian and Adela into his arms, and then kissed them on the cheeks.

"Don't worry, I know that you two have hearts for me, after all, we have a soul contract, otherwise how can I guess your thoughts?" Ryan smiled and comforted the two girls: "Well, let these things pass, besides, it seems that I am the one who takes advantage of this level of fighting at this level, so I don't seem to be qualified to say anything, hahahaha!"

"Nasty!" Vivien and Adela almost unanimously pushed Ryan's shoulder, but their hearts also settled down, obviously Ryan didn't care about their little covert war, as long as it didn't affect the overall situation, unlike those cardinals of the Church of Light who fought for a little profit, I believe Ryan would be happy to see their careful thinking.

Speaking of which, a group of women pleasing a man is similar to a group of believers pleasing their gods, and those stupid cardinals are fighting like this, but they don't know that even if they become the so-called pope, they are afraid that it will be difficult to please their own gods, right? fights, but when she thinks she can fix her favor after she wins, maybe her actions will disgust the man, and the final result is likely to be that the man simply drives away the woman around him who does not let him worry, and then finds some newcomers who can please him more to spoil him, right?
