Chapter 264 Kamateki and Greenwich
Perhaps guessing that Li Jie might have questions in this regard, Mage Lan deliberately explained the relationship between demons or other mysterious creatures and mages.
"The cultivation of mages is the same as that of other practitioners. It is divided into different schools. In the early years, quite a few mages had the habit of driving the monsters from hell as their servants."
"There are also people who expect to get inspiration from the devil because of the limitations of the human body. They sign various contracts with the devil, some are fair and some are unfair."
"Some people have different cultivation methods, and they naturally need the help of monsters to practice."
"For example, the Oriental Onmyoji who are still using this method today. They are the best among them."
"So Bart, you used to be a mage who followed that faction." After explaining a few words, Lan turned his head to Bart, the horned demon, and asked.
"My lord mage, I started following the disciples of the supreme mage more than 30 years ago." The horned demon respectfully.
"When did Master Gu Yi summon monsters? Doesn't he dislike creatures from other planes?" Li Jie asked a question.
"I'm not a disciple of the supreme mage of the present age, but I'm in London on Earth. A branch of Archmage Merlin back then." Bart replied hastily.
He doesn't want to be regarded as a liar now, he still has something to ask Master Lan.
"Master Merlin was the supreme mage thousands of years ago. But his disciples don't know much about it, and some people even judged him to be a demon god who switched to a different plane." Lan nodded, acknowledging the existence of Mage Merlin.
"Mage Ancient One and Master Merlin's faction still have different paths of practice. So now our Kamateki mages seldom drive monsters to use them."
"This is the biggest difference between our Kamateki and Greenwich (Note: An area of London, England, not a small town in the United States.) mages."
"Okay, so it's the same sect but different sects?" Li Jie probably used his own understanding to explain what Lan said.
In a way that is more in line with the understanding of ordinary Chinese people, that is, at the same time, Huashan School, but there is a difference between Jianzong and Qizong?
"You probably understand it in this way." Lan couldn't think of a better explanation. Fang Dun Temple is located in Greenwich, and Kamateki's mages still have a lot of communication with Greenwich. . Our great brother, Lord Mordo, has been running the London Temple. "
"He has a deep relationship with the mages of the Greenwich faction, and many of the mages in Greenwich still retain the habit of driving demons."
"Because their practice basically followed the lineage of Master Merlin. And Master Merlin lived in the dark ages thousands of years ago, and the earth in that era was even more chaotic. It is not disrespectful to Master Merlin, but he was far from being ancient when he was alive. A mage like this can protect the entire earth."
"And it didn't completely dispel all the demon gods on the earth. The supreme mage faction of that era seems to me to be a bit of an appeasement policy." Although Lan said that she was not disrespectful to Mage Merlin, the content expressed in her words was not like that .
"It is said that Archmage Merlin's magic power is superb, and he is not inferior to all the main gods. But when he was in power, the earth was still in the era when various monsters and gods were chaotically attacking the earth, and the earth was used as a battlefield. He seems to be too obsessed For the improvement of personal mana."
"Although he once helped King Arthur drive away some evil spirits on the British Isles, and established one of the earliest holy places in the dark age. However."
"Okay, a thousand years have passed. We don't like to comment on the good or bad of Archmage Meilin back then." Li Jie interrupted Lan's speech, because it is meaningless to make any comments on a senior who was a thousand years ago and has passed away.
Lan glanced at Li Jie, she realized her faux pas. It was no secret in Kamateki that she disliked mages of the Greenwich faction.
Otherwise, Gu Yi originally intended to let Lan go to London to help Baron Mordo manage the temple together. Because among the three temples, the one in Greenwich is the most special.
There are quite a few items related to Master Merlin in the temple of Greenwich, and there are various books of knowledge left by him.
Although Kamateki has some backups of transcriptions, in many cases, magic books can only resonate with incredible magic power only by reading the original works written by the creator himself.
As a former Supreme Master, Merlin asked himself to be buried in Greenwich before his death. And sealed up all his private collections and items into the Greenwich Temple (Greenwich was not yet under the jurisdiction of London at the time).
There is a saying that people often say: Words are powerful.
This sentence may be an abstract description for ordinary people, or it may be rich in some philosophical meaning, and it is usually used as a referential description.
But for an existence of the level of the Supreme Mage, words are power. "Words follow" is not a simple adjective in literature for them, but a power that operates in accordance with the law of heaven.
Therefore, unless the Ancient One mage was going to start a full-scale war with the mages of the Greenwich faction, it would be impossible to break the protective spell left by Master Merlin silently and secretly transfer the relics of Master Merlin, including books.
Therefore, if a mage who graduated from Kamateki is ready to continue his studies. In addition to traveling around and increasing knowledge.
The most visited place is Greenwich. Greenwich is the second most important mage settlement on Earth after Kamateki.
This is also the reason why Gu Yi wanted to put his confidant disciple - Baron Modu - in the London Temple.
Of course, there is another reason, the reason why Gu Yi couldn't say it out loud. He was a little worried about the mages of the Greenwich faction, and the reason was simple.
Look at the man standing in front of Li Jie and Lan, the strong and mighty claw demon Bart who once served the mages of the Greenwich faction.
Maybe smart people have already guessed what Ancient One was worried about. But he can't intervene too much in this, because the mages of the Greenwich faction are not of the same attribute as him.
Although they are all under the jurisdiction of Master Gu Yi in name, they are all independent and self-reliant. The inheritance left by Archmage Merlin is enough for most mages to practice for a lifetime. They could have skipped Kamateki.
Therefore, in addition to being responsible for the daily management of the London Temple, Modu also took on the important task of communicating with the mages of the Greenwich faction.
Gu Yi doesn't want any troubles in this faction, their way of cultivation is a bit dangerous.
"So, what do you mean to say that to this day, the mages of the Greenwich faction are still gaining power by communicating with different planes?" Li Jie felt a little unbelievable. All his previous understanding of mages was concentrated. On Kamateki.
For such a faction that he has never been in contact with, Li Jie should not jump to conclusions and judge others' good or bad. But at least he kept an eye on it in his heart.
"Mages in Greenwich generally do not allow their demon servants to leave themselves. Unless he is dead. And even if your master is dead, you should not leave Greenwich. This is the rule! Who was your previous master , where is your mark!" Lan finished talking with Li Jie, and brought the focus back to the demon Bart.
Her tone was harsh, and at the same time, the other mages who followed Lan were ready to fight. The mages in Greenwich never allowed their servants to escape.
"Dear Mage, this is my mark." The horned demon Bart quickly lifted his sleeves, and the mark composed of the letters G and Z in cursive script was branded on the inside of his arm.
This place is generally where the Greenwich mages like to imprint their souls.
"It's indeed Greenwich's method." A mage said to Lan after checking carefully.
"Then there is another question, how did you leave Greenwich and return to hell." Lan did not let down his vigilance because of this news.
"That's because my master is also here. It's here." The devil Bart said a news that surprised Li Jie and others.
There's another Greenwich mage right here?
