Perhaps Lan had guessed that Li Jie might have questions about this, so she explained the relationship between Mages and demons or other mysterious creatures.
"The cultivation of Mages is the same as that of other cultivators. They are divided into different schools. In the early years, a considerable number of Mages had the habit of controlling the demons from Hell as their servants. "
"There are also some who, due to the limitations of the human body, hoped to gain inspiration from the demons. They signed all kinds of contracts with the demons, some fair, some unfair."
"There are also some who have different methods of cultivation. They naturally need the help of demons in order to cultivate."
"For example, the Onmyoji of the East Ocean who still use this method to this day. They are the best of the best. "
"So, Bart, which faction of mages did you follow?" Lan turned to the Goat-Horned Demon Bart and asked after a brief explanation.
"Respected Lord Mage, I started following the Paragon Mage more than thirty years ago," the Goat-Horned Demon said respectfully.
"Since when did Ancient One summon demons? Doesn't he dislike creatures from other planes? "Li Jie asked.
"I'm not a disciple of the current Paragon Mage. I'm from London on Earth. A branch of Great Mage Merlin, "Bart hurriedly replied.
He didn't want to be seen as a liar. He still had something to ask of Lan.
"Great Mage Merlin was the Paragon Mage a thousand years ago. However, there aren't many disciples under his tutelage. Some of them even turned to demons from other planes. "Lan nodded, acknowledging Merlin's existence.
"There are differences in the path of cultivation between Ancient One and Great Mage Merlin's sect. That's why Kamateki's Mages rarely use demons. "
"This is our Kamateki and Greenwich (Note: a district in London, England, not a small town in America). The biggest difference between Mages. "
"Alright, does this count as belonging to the same sect but not the same sect?" Li Jie used his own understanding to explain what Lan said.
In a way that was more in line with the understanding of ordinary Chinese people, they were both from the Mount Hua Sect, but there was a difference between a Sword Master and a Qi Master?
"That's probably how you interpret it." Lan could not think of a better explanation. The Great Temple of Dun was located in Greenwich, and the Mages of Kamateki had a lot of interaction with Greenwich. Our senior, Baron Mordo, has been managing the London Sanctum. "
"He has a deep relationship with the mages of the Greenwich faction. Many of the mages in Greenwich still have the habit of controlling demons."
"This is because their cultivation methods are basically inherited from Wizard Merlin's faction. Wizard Merlin had lived in the Dark Ages a thousand years ago, when the Earth was even more chaotic. Not to be disrespectful to the Great Wizard Merlin, but when he was alive, he was far from being able to protect the entire Earth like Ancient One. "
"Furthermore, they didn't completely disperse the various Demon Gods on Earth. In my opinion, the Supreme Sorcerer Faction of that era was somewhat appeasing." Although Lan said that she was not being disrespectful to Wizard Merlin, the content of her words was not like that.
"According to the legends, Great Wizard Merlin's magic power is extraordinary, and he isn't inferior to the various Main Gods. However, when he was in power, the Earth was still in an era where various monsters and gods attacked chaotically and used the Earth as a battlefield. He seemed to be too obsessed with improving his magic power. "
"Although he once helped King Arthur drive away some evil spirits in the British Isles, and established one of the earliest sacred places in the Dark Ages. But … "
"Alright, it's been a thousand years. It's not good for us to comment on the Great Wizard Merlin back then. " Li Jie interrupted Lan's words. There was no point in making any comments about a senior who had already passed away a thousand years ago.
Lan glanced at Li Jie, and she realized that she was being rude. It was not a secret in Kamateki that she did not like the mages of the Greenwich faction.
Otherwise, Ancient One had intended to let Lan go to London to help Baron Mordo manage the Sanctum. This was because among the three Sanctums, the Greenwich Sanctum was the most special.
The Greenwich Sanctum contained a considerable number of items related to the Great Wizard Merlin, as well as various knowledge books that he had left behind.
Although Kamateki had some copies, many magic books could only resonate with the incredible magic power of the original work written by the creator.
As a former Great Wizard, Merlin had requested to be buried in Greenwich before he passed away. He also sealed all his personal books and belongings into the Greenwich Sanctum (Greenwich was not under the jurisdiction of London at that time).
There was a common saying: words have power.
This saying might be an abstract description for ordinary people, or it might have some philosophical meaning, and it was usually used as a reference.
But for the existence of the Great Wizard, words were power. "Words are law" was not a simple adjective in literature, but a power in accordance with the operation of the Heavenly Axiom.
Therefore, unless Ancient One was prepared to start an all-out war with the mages of the Greenwich faction, it was impossible to break the protection spell left by the Great Wizard Merlin and secretly move Merlin's belongings, including the books.
Therefore, after the mages of Kamateki finished their apprenticeship, if they wanted to continue their studies. In addition to traveling around and increasing his knowledge, he had no other choice.
The place they went to the most was Greenwich. Greenwich was the second most important gathering place of mages on Earth after Kamateki.
This was why Ancient One placed his trusted disciple – Baron Mordo – in the London Sanctum.
Of course, there was another reason, one that Ancient One could not say out loud. He was a little worried about the mages of the Greenwich faction. The reason was simple.
He looked at the strong and mighty goat-horned demon Bart standing in front of Li Jie and Lan, who had once served the mages of the Greenwich faction.
Perhaps smart people had already guessed what Ancient One was worried about. But he could not interfere too much, because the mages of the Greenwich faction were different from him.
Although they were under the jurisdiction of Ancient One in name, they were all independent. The inheritance left by the Great Wizard Merlin was enough for most mages to cultivate for a lifetime. They could totally not go to Kamateki.
Therefore, other than managing the daily affairs of the London Sanctum, Mordo also had the responsibility of communicating with the mages of the Greenwich faction.
Ancient One did not want any trouble in this faction, their way of training was a little dangerous.
"So, what you're saying is. To this day, the mages of the Greenwich faction are still communicating with different planes to obtain power? " Li Jie felt a little incredulous, all his previous understanding of mages was concentrated on Kamateki.
For a faction that he had never come into contact with, Li Jie could not make a judgment or judge the good or bad of others. But at least he kept an eye on it in his heart.
"The mages of Greenwich generally do not allow their demon servants to leave them. 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 imprint! "Lan ended the conversation with Li Jie, and brought the focus back to Demon Bart.
Her tone was very strict, at the same time, the other mages who came with Lan were ready for battle, the mages of Greenwich never allowed their servants to escape.
"Respected Lord Mage, this is my imprint." Goat-Horned Demon Bart quickly rolled up his sleeves, the imprint formed by the cursive letters G and Z was branded on the inside of his arm.
This was the place where the mages of Greenwich liked to brand their soul imprints.
"It is indeed the method of Greenwich." A mage said to Lan after a careful inspection.
"Then there is another question, how did you leave Greenwich and return to hell?" Lan did not let her guard down because of this news.
"That is because my master is here. He is here. "Demon Bart said a piece of news that surprised Li Jie and the others.
