Chapter 608 The Witch
'There's no doubt about it. It's definitely the same emblem!'
Vale expressed his confusion as he observed the emblem of the Church embedded in the token given to him by Marquis Morgan.
The Marquis appeared unconcerned by Vale's recognition of the emblem. In fact, he seemed to expect Vale to notice it.
"Yes... I mentioned how I secured the support of the Kingdom's Neutral Faction. It's all thanks to the assistance of the Church of the Divine Sorcerer... They will be sending us their finest Sorcerers to aid us. Once they learn about our cooperation, you can expect them to visit you to introduce themselves and provide you with various resources..." Marquis Morgan explained.
At this point, Marquis Morgan paused to clear his throat.
"Ahem... That also means they might ask you to convert to their religion and serve the Divine Sorcerer. However, you are not obligated to follow them. Once we remove the King, they will be able to establish their own Holy Kingdom and claim a southern part of the Kingdom for themselves. That was the agreement we made."
Upon hearing this, Vale wryly smiled. "Sorcerers, huh... Can you tell me more about them?" Vale inquired.
"Of course! I'm more than willing to share what I know about them and my experience dealing with their ministers..." Marquis Morgan replied.
With that, Vale extended another invitation to Marquis Morgan to the castle's reception to discuss details about the Church.
After all, Vale had encountered the Church of the Three Paragons and the Church of the Fortune Goddess, but he had no knowledge of the other churches, as they were not taught in the Academy.

Then, as Vale listened to the Marquis' words, he discovered that the Church of the Divine Sorcerer was home to practitioners of Mystic Arts, particularly those who had chosen the path of Sorcery.
Similar to the Dark Arts, which encompassed Necromancers, Dark Magicians, Ritualists, and others, the Mystic Arts also included Shamans, Witch Doctors, Sorcerers, and various other disciplines. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
It seemed that the practice of Sorcery represented an extreme path within the Mystic Arts, distinctly different from the other branches.
Their presence did not initially raise suspicion, as they blended in with the numerous other businessmen and traders entering the city.
Since the railway had not yet reached the city, everyone still relied on horse-driven carriages.
Nevertheless, despite their unassuming appearance, they suddenly drew the attention of many passersby when their leader, a woman in her early thirties with long silver hair and captivating blue eyes, removed the thick coat that was covering her body.
She was none other than Gale Evans.
"It isn't as cold here. Anyway, I can sense another practitioner of the Dark Arts. They have concealed it well and probably enough to deceive those Priests." She remarked.
"Professor— I mean, Miss Gale, I noticed that there aren't any Holy Knights or Priests at the city gate, unlike the ones in the central part of the Kingdom. I think they have a weak influence in this region... The Dark Magicians could probably stay here for a long time before being exposed," one of her companions behind her commented.
"I think so too... It seems as if the Holy Arts Faction's alliance and the Church of the Fortune Goddess are only focusing on their area of influence," another added.
"Yes, that's also what I'm thinking." Miss Gale concurred after a moment of thought.
"Continue with our plan. I will meet you all in an hour."
With this, she immediately walked in a different direction.
The others didn't seem bothered by her sudden change of plan, as if this had already happened before.
"We'll do so, Miss Gale. Please take care," her companions responded.
Miss Gale simply waved her hand in acknowledgment as she followed the trail of the Dark Arts Practitioner she had detected.
After a while, she arrived at the part of the city where the Arcanist Guild was located.
"So it's here..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
