The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing Chapter 261 - 198: Merlin: An Su, You Take Over My Shift for

So Magic Circuits were even beyond rlin’s ken.

Forbidden magic was rarely circulated on the market, especially the Mysticism of Chaos magic, which was virtually nonexistent.

Add to this the strict crackdown by the Order Church, and Chaos Magic was basically in a situation where it had a price but no market.

Common saints had no access to it, and rlin, being confined to Heaven, was even less able to obtain it.

For the copycat oddity that was rlin, the quality of the magic itself wasn’t important; what mattered were those Chaos Magic’s Magic Circuits. Once he copied the Magic Circuits, he could create even stronger magic.

Won might deceive the God of Law, but magic never does.

The Holy Light in rlin’s eyes grew ever brighter. To the God of Law, these forbidden knowledges were more attractive than a girlfriend. His inspiration for plagiarism burst forth like a spring as he waved to An Su, "Bring it closer and let have a look."

"Your Excellency the Archmage," An Su actually put away the scroll. Although his mouth maintained his usual placid and courteous smile, "This is knowledge most precious, obtained with great cunning and by risking. death. too. many. tis."

He emphasized his struggle and the close encounters with death so pointedly, even a fool could understand what he ant.

rlin wanted to roll his eyes at An Su, but realizing his eyes were already quite white and it wasn’t necessary, he decided against rolling and glared with dissatisfaction, "Wanting so sort of benefit?"

The fact these magics weren’t ant as a tribute to himself displeased the honorably luminous Bishop rlin; he thought to himself that An Su would no doubt be a dead-end no-hoper, whose peak achievent could, at best, be a regional bishop position. Your adventure continues at .Côm

"I wouldn’t dare ask for any benefits." An Su displayed a knowing smile, presenting the scroll with both hands,

"I rely wish to exchange knowledge with you. I’ve brought these items rely to ask for Bishop rlin’s guidance and teaching, so we can together criticize this vile and dirty knowledge."

Upon hearing An Su’s words, the honorably luminous Bishop rlin was quite pleased. He thought An Su definitely had a bright future; unfathomable in this lifeti, and at the very least he could end up in red garnts.

"Then I must thoroughly criticize this vile knowledge," said rlin.

rlin accepted the magic scroll passed by An Su without a hint of emotion, solemnly promising An Su. The night breeze of Heaven lightly caressed the air, his crimson robe fluttering in the wind, golden light particles dancing in the air, casting His Excellency the Archmage’s aura as sacred and arcane.

Their conversation was quite euphemistic; to translate it, if the God of Law accidentally stumbled upon sothing peculiar while criticizing this evil knowledge, he was to share it with An Su, under the noble guise of knowledge exchange.

"Ahem." rlin coughed lightly, "If you have more of such... ahem, knowledge that you wish to be criticized, feel free to bring it to for critique... mainly because I fear you might not be able to cope with it well, do you understand what I an?"

"Loud and clear." An Su’s smile was knowledgeable; plagiarism with a critical twist worked precisely like this.

"Hmm, can’t let you go without compensation. There are plenty of magics you can redeem on the fourth floor of the Magic Association."

After so thought, rlin, taking into account An Su’s understanding nature and the difficulty An Su must have had in acquiring this knowledge, and not wanting to freeload openly as the Radiant Bishop, decided to give sothing out of courtesy.

"For each of these scrolls requiring criticism, fifty devotion points."

The price set by rlin was quite generous indeed.

He smiled with satisfaction, still freeloading after all, as it was the Association that would bear the cost.

rlin, being the Deputy Head of the Magic Association, could simply use the official accounts, requesting devotion points from the Association and then approving his own expenses in his capacity as Deputy Head.

Devotion points, unlike faith points given by deities, were an invented currency of exchange coined by the Magic Association itself, fabricated at will.

rlin often did this, having embezzled who knows how many devotion points through such sches.

However regarded, this shady deal seed especially profitable for himself.

Had rlin not slacked off today and ensured An Su’s safety throughout, eavesdropping on the undercover trail, he would’ve realized An Su had acquired these shoddy wares cheaply from a street vendor and would not have worn such a contented smile.

In contrast, An Su’s smile was even more radiant than rlin’s.

A pound was ten scrolls, totaling five hundred devotion points.

Wares bought from a street vendor at two hundred and fifty points per pound were flipped handsoly for five hundred devotion points in rlin’s hands; credits laundered quite thoroughly by rlin, with profits doubled. It seed, indeed, that such agreeable business exists in the world.

An Su’s gaze towards rlin was now even more gratified, not regretting having introduced such a beautiful girlfriend to His Excellency the Archmage.

rlin was in a good mood too, also finding An Su more agreeable to the eye.

"Anything else?" rlin waved An Su away, eager to get to the study of the forbidden magic, "If there’s nothing else, get lost."

"Your Excellency rlin, my current residence isn’t safe, may I stay here tonight?" An Su asked earnestly, "Sinister Cultists lurk around my ho; I fear they might possess at any mont."

Are there any Cultists more sinister than you?

rlin’s face darkened.

"Get lost," rlin’s brow raised, "Don’t even think about staying in Heaven."
