But in the Ark Continent, these methods were very novel. The Ark Continent didn't have the same standards as the Continent, they didn't even have newspapers. Napoleon said that a single newspaper was equal to a hundred thousand soldiers. One can imagine how big of a blow Zhao Hai's propaganda would be to the Radiant Church. In the future, the Radiant Church would be treated as a cult by the League of Dark Mages.
Smith stood up and slowly paced around the room. He was very clear that if Zhao Hai's plan were to succeed, then the Radiant Church would no longer have a place in the Rosen Empire. At the same time, the status of Dark Mages in the Rosen Empire would also be greatly improved.
The promotion of the status of Dark Mages was very important for the development of their profession. The reason why Dark Mages felt like they had no successors was because their status in the Continent had been reduced. People regarded Dark Mages as evil people, so naturally, no one would study Dark Magic.
However, this matter was a bit difficult to implement. The nobles might not necessarily allow them to do so, but they could still try. If it were to succeed, then it would be a great blessing for the Dark Mage profession.
Smith stopped and turned to Zhao Hai, "Brother, your idea is very good. I want to thank you on behalf of all Dark Mages."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "This matter is a bit difficult, so I can only be responsible for coming up with ideas. But there is one thing that I hope Brother Smith can do."
Smith looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression, "Brother, what is it?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I hope that Big Brother can persuade the alliance. If our previous propaganda plan is successful, then we must establish a law enforcement team to punish the evil Dark Mages. This way, the image of the Dark Mages in the continent would be completely changed." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I hope that Big Brother can persuade the alliance to establish a law enforcement team.
Smith stared for a moment, then he began to ponder. A law enforcement group for Dark Mages was something that he didn't think about. It must be said that there were a lot of evil Dark Mages. In order to increase their strength, many Dark Mages would kill ordinary people and turn them into undead. This was very common among Dark Mages. But if they were to establish a law enforcement group like Zhao Hai said, then these Dark Mages would be punished. If they weren't allowed to do so, then the strength of Dark Mages would decrease a lot. It can be said that establishing a law enforcement group wouldn't bring any benefits to Dark Mages.
Zhao Hai looked at Smith's appearance and knew what he was thinking. Zhao Hai had been in the Ark Continent for a long time, so he already knew about the Dark Mages in the continent. He also knew why the people of the continent hated Dark Mages so much. It can be said that half of the reason why Dark Mages became like this was because of the Radiant Church, and the other half was because of the Dark Mages themselves.
Dark Mages' magic attacks weren't any worse than any other element, and their cultivation speed wasn't slow either. But now, Dark Mages in the continent had embarked on the Devil's Path. In order to increase their fighting strength as soon as possible, they would kill ordinary people and turn them into undead. This way, their fighting strength would increase in a short period of time. On the other hand, Dark Mages didn't learn as much as Dark Magic.
In Zhao Hai's opinion, this was a path of no return. Dark Mages doing this could indeed increase their fighting strength in a short period of time. However, their foundation would be unstable, and it would be very difficult for them to reach higher realms in their lifetime.
The essence of Mages was their magic. Only when their magic reached a high level would their fighting strength increase, and they would be able to reach higher realms. But now, Dark Mages only paid attention to the summoning of undead, leaving Mages behind. This wasn't right.
Not only would they not be able to reach higher realms, they would also kill a lot of innocent people. Naturally, ordinary people wouldn't have a good impression of Dark Mages.
Because of this, it was necessary to establish a law enforcement group. Zhao Hai looked at Smith and said, "Brother Smith, if our plan succeeds, then we must establish a law enforcement group. Otherwise, if we change people's view of Dark Mages, then the other Dark Mages would kill ordinary people, making them hate Dark Magic even more. This wouldn't do us any good."
Smith took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I promise you. If our plan succeeds, then we will establish a law enforcement group. But I also have a condition, you must join the law enforcement group."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't expect Smith to turn the tables on him. He smiled and said, "Alright. But you should know that our plan can't be completed in a short time. If we want to establish a law enforcement team, then we'll have to wait for some time." Smith smiled and said, "Alright. But you should know that our plan can't be completed in a short time.
Smith nodded, "I'll immediately tell the family about what you said, I don't know if they will use it." After saying this, Smith couldn't help but sigh. After all, he was only the City Lord of Sky Water City, the successor of the Calci Family. He wasn't the Patriarch of the family. Although he thought that Zhao Hai's plan was very good, he didn't know if the family would agree or not. He didn't know if they would do what Zhao Hai said.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm just giving an idea, whether they use it or not will depend on them. In any case, if they use it, then it would be good for us. If they don't use it, then there's no harm. Right, I'll be going back. Right, is my ship finished?"
Smith nodded and said, "It's finished. You can have the ship set off tomorrow. How long will it take for the fire fishes to arrive?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It won't take more than a few days, just give me the ship." Then he stood up and said his goodbyes. Smith accompanied Zhao Hai all the way to the door.
After sending Zhao Hai away, Smith immediately wrote down what Zhao Hai said and had someone send it to the family. He was afraid that if he was slow in writing, then he might miss one or two things, which would make the letter imperfect.
When the Calci Family received Smith's letter and read its contents, they couldn't help but be shocked. Even if they were knowledgeable people, they hadn't heard of such methods before. But when these methods were presented to them, even if they haven't used them yet, they could already feel that these methods would be very effective.
Then the Calci Family began to explain to the other nobles how to prevent the Radiant Church from entering their territories. Naturally, they also knew that this plan needed to be carried out step by step. If they were to send Dark Mages to the other nobles' territories, then the other nobles would certainly think that they were plotting something. Even if they didn't think that they were plotting something, they would still think that they were idiots.
Therefore, what they needed to do now was to spread the negative side of the Radiant Church in front of the commoners as much as possible. They also had anti-church classes in schools, so that the other nobles wouldn't have to worry about the Radiant Church infiltrating their territories.
The other nobles agreed with the Calci Family's plan. These nobles weren't fools, they could see that these methods would be very useful to them.
At the same time, the Calci Family immediately began to implement Zhao Hai's methods in their territories. Because they were a family of Dark Mages, they could often see Dark Mages in their territories. Because of this, the people in their territories didn't dislike Dark Mages. Because of this, the Calci Family began to implement Zhao Hai's method of having Dark Mages treat commoners.
Most importantly, they were able to infer many things from one example. They turned Zhao Hai's plan of having Dark Mages occasionally treat commoners into a plan where Dark Mages would volunteer to treat commoners on a fixed date. Moreover, not only did they have anti-church classes in schools, they also started to teach the history of Dark Mages.
When Zhao Hai heard about this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt that he had underestimated the people of the Ark Continent. The people here weren't stupid at all, as long as Zhao Hai made the first move, they would immediately think of a follow-up.
However, this didn't affect Zhao Hai. At this time, he was sitting on the Poseidon with Laura and the others. The Poseidon's appearance had changed, the Poseidon's symbol had been removed. Moreover, the ship's name had been changed, it was now called the Haven.
This name was changed by Laura, and Zhao Hai didn't oppose it. It must be said that this was the most profitable trip he had ever made. He earned several tens of millions of gold coins, as well as a lot of good things. Most importantly, he obtained two ships. Moreover, the Haven was originally loaded with supplies, so naturally, those supplies became his spoils of war.
Zhao Hai looked at the supplies and saw that they were mostly used by the Beastmen. There weren't a lot of good things inside, but Zhao Hai didn't care too much about it. He planned to take these things to the Prairie next year and then dispose of them. What he needed now were these two ships.
Now that the ship was filled with undead, they didn't need to sleep. Therefore, the originally crowded cabins had been changed by Zhao Hai. He changed the cabins into warehouses, bedrooms, living rooms, and so on. Now, his ship was the most luxurious ship in the entire Ark Continent.
This time, Zhao Hai brought Laura and the others along. In addition to the fire fishes, there was also another important matter. They wanted to go to the deep sea and then lead the seawater to the Space. This way, the Space could be upgraded.
There was a chair on the deck, Zhao Hai and the others were drinking tea while looking at the sea. Because the Haven was a five-masted ship, it was able to sail very smoothly. Moreover, they weren't in a hurry to leave, so the journey was very smooth.
They planned to go to the deep sea and then find an uninhabited island. Then they would build their base there and leave some undead on the island to look after it. This way, they would have a base at sea, which would be very convenient for them in the future.
For other forces, building a base on an island wasn't easy. One would need to consider whether there would be frequent storms, the resources, and the availability of fresh water. But for Zhao Hai, all of this wasn't a problem. The undead on the island needed to eat and didn't need to drink. Because of this, even if the island's conditions weren't good, it wouldn't be a problem.
Even if they wanted to rest on the island, there was nothing to worry about. With the Space, they wouldn't need to worry about food and water even if they were to drift on the sea all year round.
However, Zhao Hai thought that the island's distance from the Ark Continent was a problem. They needed to find an island that wouldn't be easily discovered. It also needed to be far away from the continent. Moreover, it would be best if there weren't any strong magic beasts on the island. Otherwise, the magic beasts would attack the undead on the island.
To be honest, sitting on a ship and looking at the boundless sea was a very enjoyable experience. Laura and the others hadn't had such an experience before, so they were very curious.
This time, Megan wanted to follow them. But in the end, Smith didn't agree. Because of this, Megan was angry with him for a few days.
Zhao Hai also didn't want to bring Megan with him. His biggest secret was the Space. If he brought Megan with him, then if something happened, they could only hide inside the Space. When that time comes, should he bring Megan or not? If he brought Megan with him, then she might discover the Space's secret. If he didn't bring Megan, then she might get into trouble. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't bring Megan with him.
Laura put down her cup of tea and sighed, "The sea is really beautiful. But when there's a storm, it's very scary. Fortunately, we have the Space. Otherwise, we would have been in a lot of danger two days ago."
They had been at sea for seven days. Two days ago, they encountered a huge storm. Even the five-masted Haven couldn't withstand it. The might of nature was really too strong. However, Zhao Hai had the Space. When he saw how big the storm was, Zhao Hai immediately stored the Haven inside the Space. They also entered the Space and looked at the storm outside through the monitor.
After the storm subsided, they released the Haven and continued to sail. Although they didn't experience the storm on the ship, they could still see the monstrous waves on the monitor. Laura and the others believed that if the Haven was still at sea, it would have been torn to pieces by the storm.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The sea is like a temperamental god. When it's gentle, you can swim in its embrace. But when it gets angry, it can tear you to pieces. This is the charm of the sea."
Laura and the others nodded. They couldn't help but recognize that when the storm came a few days ago, they felt as if the storm could tear them apart. However, at that time, the sea also had another kind of beauty, a cruel kind of beauty.
