#195 - Secrets of the Tribal Shaman
Erebus.
A man who truly stood at the pinnacle of magic in this world.
He created the Holy Church with his own power and proclaimed himself Pope.
Although this happened 3000 years ago, his deeds still stir the hearts of men.
This, of course, includes Moon.
Living in the Federation since childhood, Moon only knew about the Spellcasters and the Mage's Association when it came to magical forces.
It was only after coming to the Vena Islands that he learned about the Faithless and the Holy Church.
Especially the name of the Pope, which he only learned today.
"Are you saying that the first Pope of the Holy Church was a demon?"
Moon was somewhat incredulous when he heard what the Great Shamans said.
Although he didn't know much about the Holy Church.
However, Moon knew that the Dawn Holy Canon calendar used throughout the continent began counting from the founding of the Holy Church.
Moreover, not only in the Federation, but the entire Menila Empire also used this calendar.
"Bah! Holy Church my foot! Pope my foot!"
The Great Shaman Hai Lan immediately retorted vehemently after hearing Moon's words.
"Gui! Watch your words."
The Great Shaman Ling Shu glared at the Great Shaman Hai Lan before walking forward with her crutch.
"High Priest, this matter is not suitable for more people to know. Later, we will tell you everything about it."
As the Great Shaman Ling Shu spoke, she pointed to a huge tent behind the bonfire area.
Moon simply glanced at it and nodded in agreement, understanding her meaning.
An hour later.
After learning the truth, Moon sat blankly on the stone chair in the tent.
"The first Pope of the Holy Church was originally a shaman priest from the tribe?"
"That's right, and he was also the Moon Guardian Priest, second only to the High Priest."
Through the introduction of the Great Shamans of the Star Island Tribe, Moon learned a secret about the tribal shamans that happened 3000 years ago.
At that time, Erebus was the most outstanding of all the tribal priests.
But in the end, he failed to be elected as the High Priest.
This made him disheartened and he left the tribe, going to the Kotel Continent alone to create the Holy Church.
Erebus's own magical strength was very high.
After arriving in the New World, in order to separate himself from the witchcraft system of the tribal shamans, he created the so-called Holy Art system.
Then, he began to recruit all those with magical talent on the continent to learn the new magical Holy Art.
Because Erebus taught magic without any threshold and the new Holy Art only pursued power, the scale of the Holy Church grew larger and larger.
Before long, Erebus's Holy Church completely controlled the entire Kotel Continent.
Later, in order to prove that he was stronger than the tribal High Priest, Erebus chose to fight the tribal shamans.
The result was obvious.
The tribal shamans were finally forced to retreat to a small island in the Vena Islands.
The Holy Church occupied the entire Lauses Continent.
Moon already knew about the later history of the Lauses Continent from the Bailey family.
The Holy Church later withdrew from there due to the continuous resistance from several empires on the Lauses Continent.
However, the Pope at this time was no longer Erebus.
"What about the Mage's Association?"
Moon now knew that the two largest wizard forces in this world were the Holy Church and the Mage's Association.
And since the tribal shamans generally referred to all the mages outside as demons, then the people of the Mage's Association must also be involved.
"Hmph! Since Erebus could betray the tribe, then naturally someone would betray him!"
The Great Shaman Hai Lan said as if venting, then fell silent.
As the shaman who contributed the most to guarding Star Island, the Great Shaman Hai Lan was extremely disgusted with the main culprit who caused the tribe to be trapped on the island.
Noticing that Moon didn't understand, the Great Shaman Hai Lan stood up and said.
"We don't know much about the Mage's Association, but the records in the tribe are very clear. The person who founded the Mage's Association also came from the Holy Church, and they eventually went to war with the Holy Church."
"So that's how it is~
After the explanation of the Great Shaman Xingmang, Moon finally understood why the tribal shamans generally referred to the mages outside as demons.
According to the order of the entire event, whether it was the Holy Church or the Mage's Association, as well as the later Imperial Court Mages, Spellcasters, and Faithless.
The source of their magic all came from the first Pope, Erebus.
Even if they later used magic that was no longer the so-called Holy Art system, the source was still the Holy Church.
More accurately, their magic all came from the tribal shamans.
And the reason why Moon was not in the sequence of demons was naturally because his magic did not originate from this world at all.
Compared to Moon, other mages were more like traitors within the tribal shamans.
Thinking of this, Moon couldn't help but worry, and he looked at the three Great Shamans with some confusion.
"Great Shamans, what are you waiting for so long for the successor of the High Priest? Is it to fight the Holy Church?"
Moon didn't think that he could intervene in the struggle between such large forces with his own ability.
Especially the Holy Church and the Mage's Association, they were both huge forces controlling an entire continent.
After hearing Moon's question, the Great Shaman Ling Shu smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, we won't put our clansmen in a dangerous situation."
After confirming that Moon was the successor of the High Priest they were looking for, the three Great Shamans had already regarded Moon as a member of the tribe.
And the one who should be protected the most.
Perhaps wanting to completely dispel Moon's doubts, the Great Shaman Xingmang explained again.
"Actually, what our tribal shamans have always pursued is not war. Even when Erebus left, the High Priest never had any intention of attacking him.
As for that Wizard War, it was also provoked by the Holy Church, and we had no choice but to fight.
Although we failed in the end and came to New Star Island, what we have always wanted is only to survive."
The Great Shaman Xingmang's words made Moon feel a little relieved.
In his opinion, the tribal shamans had the strength to occupy the entire Vena Islands.
And they didn't do so, only living on Star Island.
It could indeed show that they didn't have such a great desire for war, land, and power.
However, the Great Shaman Xingmang's words still aroused Moon's new curiosity.
"Survival? As far as I know, there shouldn't be any existence on the Vena Islands that can threaten the power of Star Island, right?"
Moon didn't know the strength of the Star Island tribal shamans before.
Now, after seeing the Great Shamans' shaman power, he knew that Star Island was indeed stronger than the other three mage forces in the Vena Islands.
Spellcasters, Faithless, Mage families.
Moreover, as far as Moon knew, some Spellcasters had wanted to seize control of Star燼 Island before, but they were all politely sent away.
Now it seemed that this should be the work of the Great Shamans.
After hearing Moon's question, the Great Shaman Ling Shu walked out with her crutch.
"Our strength is indeed stronger than those little brats outside, but the trouble on us is also greater.
"That's right, what threatens our survival has never been the mages, but some invisible magic, such as the curse on all tribal people."
The Great Shaman Xingmang added.
Curse.
All the tribal people had been cast with an evil curse, and this curse had lasted for three thousand years.
The person who cast this curse was Erebus.
"The tribal people will completely disappear. With the strength of the High Priest, it only slowed down this curse a lot, but it still hasn't been lifted."
After the Great Shaman Xingmang finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Moon, and the other two Great Shamans were the same.
