Count of Wizards

Although it was the first time for Connor to hear about the secrets of the real high-level ruling class of the Kaman Empire that Margaret told about, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find it surprising.

After becoming an official wizard, in addition to the earth-shaking changes in strength, Connor also stepped into a new circle. Those secrets that were out of reach in the past are now clear to Connor. It includes an open secret that everyone agrees to, but no one will reveal it to the public. This secret is that more than 50% of the black wizard organizations in the Kaman Empire have hereditary nobles behind them. Even some of the hereditary nobles are still black wizards!

The Church of the Storms has always been unequivocally tough and uncompromising in its attitude towards the issue of black wizards. The other big church, the Earth God Church, may be more gentle and gentler than the Church of the Storms in dealing with this issue. Pay attention to methods and methods, but on the fundamental issue, they will still stand on the same position as the Church of Storms.

Therefore, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two major churches and the hereditary aristocratic group. It is just because the two churches are too strong, and the hereditary aristocratic group has never been very united. It was put on hold, and now with the efforts of Grand Duke Felix, the entire hereditary noble group seems to be attracted by the huge interest of recommending the next emperor. Under the temptation of interests, they finally unite to fight against the two churches.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Earth God Sect was drawn by Cardinal Hummels to support the eighth prince Cappelluzzo as the next emperor of the empire. Although there were differences in the way to deal with the black wizard, But on fundamental issues like how to deal with dark wizards, the Earth God Cult has always been on the side of the Church of Storms.

Because the third prince Ragusa, who is supported by the hereditary aristocratic group, once he becomes the next emperor of the Kaman Empire, that is, Remano IV, then it is foreseeable that he will definitely give back to his supporters and fulfill the promise he made. Promise, and this feedback and promise, Connor boldly guessed that Ragusa, as the emperor of the empire, would loosen his ties on the issue of dealing with black wizards, soften his position, and even admit the existence of certain black wizard organizations!

However, this is the bottom line of the Church of the Storm and the Church of the Earth, an absolutely insurmountable red line, and it is absolutely impossible for them to accept it. To a large extent, the legitimacy of the two churches in the Kaman Empire is based on publicizing the elimination of black wizards to the masses And come!

Therefore, it is more difficult for the two major churches and black wizards to coexist peacefully than to kill them. Even if the pope, who is the highest in the church, dares to raise such a thing within the church, he will definitely be impeached by the church!

And once the empire softens its attitude on the issue of black wizards, it will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the Church of the Storm and the Earth God, so now the hereditary noble group is pushing the third prince Ragusa to become the next emperor of the Kaman Empire. In matters, it is inevitable to encounter strong backlash from the two churches!

In addition to the great conflict between the hereditary aristocratic group and the two churches on the issue of black wizards, the differences between the two parties can be said to be even more serious on the issue of church influence!

In the Kaman Empire, the Church of the Storm and the God of the Earth preached the dangers of wizards other than the church wizards to the general public, and used the method of completely oppressing the black wizards. The influence among the general public is very large, it is not an exaggeration In other words, it is already a threat to the political structure of the Kaman Empire.

Under such circumstances, if the eighth prince Capeluzzo Gonzalez, who has recognized Cardinal Hummels of the Church of the Storms as his godfather, becomes the new emperor of the Kaman Empire, then there is no doubt that this is right. A major blow to the current political structure of the Karman Empire.

In the Kaman Empire, the Church, which is already very powerful, will definitely expand again in terms of power and influence. At the same time, the political structure of the Kaman Empire will face a major test. The Kaman Empire may even become the largest country like its neighbor to the southwest, the Persis Empire...

Just as the two churches cannot accept it, and the imperial government cannot untie the black wizard issue, the vested interests under the existing political structure of the Kaman Empire, that is, the hereditary noble group, the imperial military, the chaebol chamber of commerce, and some black people with backgrounds It is also impossible for the wizarding organization to accept the further expansion of the Church's influence, and the Kaman Empire has become the largest country, so they also resolutely reject Capeluzzo Gonzalez as the new Kaman Empire emperor.

While Connor was thinking, Margaret returned the topic to Reyes, and she whispered to Connor: "According to the news from Black Agency, Reyes and Felix The relationship with Grand Duke Si is very close, and Reyes himself and several official wizards under him are also part of the dark wizard organization that Grand Duke Felix brought to help the third prince Ragusa Gonzales. .

"Actually, it's not just Reyes. There is reliable news that although the rumored No. 1 figure in the secret society, Wang Jue, has a mysterious identity, few people know his true identity so far, but what is certain is that he is also the same as the hereditary The aristocratic group is closely related, and the Black Agency even suspects that this prince may be a hereditary nobleman, and he is also a big nobleman, and may even have something to do with the royal family."

"The conflict between Reyes and the wizards of the Earth God Cult this time is basically definitely related to the succession of the throne! Reyes is the top existence among the second-level wizards, and can even threaten the third-level wizards. And he's an alchemist."

"If it really comes to the worst moment, when the two major churches and the hereditary aristocratic groups have not reached an agreement and must fight, then the existence of Reyes will be a great threat to the church, so A month ago, at the highest meeting of the Church of the Storms, the top leaders of the Church of the Storms had already reached a consensus on the proposal to confirm the secret society professor Reyes as the first target to be solved!"

"So even if Reyes doesn't take the lead in attacking Jackson, the subordinate of McKenney, the Church of the Earth God, the Church of Storms will sooner or later arrange for a third-level wizard to attack him. However, the battle between Reyes and McKenney is still in the To a certain extent, the plan of the church was disrupted. The church did not expect that Reyes was so powerful that a third-level wizard could not take him down. This also aroused the church's determination to kill him..."
