Chapter 557 The 120-year-old Pope

"Church...that old man is not dead yet?"

Jiang Bai is so familiar with the church that Mu Ningxue mentioned that he can no longer be familiar with it.

He was even familiar with the color of the pope's pants that he was wearing today. Jiang Bai knew exactly what color he was wearing.

How should I put it... This church is not a real force, but an organization formed voluntarily by the people.

Of course, this was driven by the Five Continents Magic Association and the Holy City, but no one expected that this church would succeed, and its success was so fast that it surprised everyone.

The church was born out of the world's need for it, with the Holy City as the main driving force.

In this world, human beings have to face many troubles and enemies. In addition to the troubles that life itself requires, such as going to work every day, and having to cook, wash, mop the floor, take care of housework and take care of children when you get home, this is a huge pressure and suffocation.

As a result, many ordinary people are in a very bad and bad mood.

Not everyone can become a magician, or in other words, magicians are still a minority.

There are still the largest number of ordinary people in this world. There are pressures from life internally, and constant oppression and attacks from demons externally. Ordinary people have little hope for the future, and they only want to live one day at a time.

At the same time, according to some incomplete judgments, some demons eat the negative emotions of humans.

A high school had 1,000 people register this year, but only 400 people were able to enter in the end. Only about 160 of these 400 people were able to become mages, and these 160 were only junior mages after graduation.

In short, in a delicate state, the church has completed its original mission of establishment, ensuring the living standards and faith issues of ordinary people, preventing large-scale corruption and strikes, and providing a large amount of logistical resources and guarantees.

Let the Five Continents Magic Association not have to worry about these things.

Only 160 of 1,000 people can become mages. This is a calculation under the best conditions. Without counting those who cannot even take the high school exam, the real ratio may be even more exaggerated.

In a word, you must have hope for the future, instead of giving up on yourself if you don't become a magician.

But the rise of the church is also very frustrating. Most of those who can bounce back after encountering a big setback are geniuses. With a large number of geniuses who have no future and no resources, the church relies on its own few.

With so much resources, it has actually become a force that can be on par with the highest magic force, which is quite a story.

As a result, the church has become the greatest force in the minds of ordinary people. The Five Continents Magic Association? The Holy City? The Parthenon? The Holy Inquisition? The Hunter Association? Sorry, I, an ordinary person, have never heard of these big forces, but you have to say

Of course I know about the church. The church helped me treat my illness back then, and I also provided a lot of food to the church to save more people.

Don’t they need other people to grow and harvest the food they eat?

But... By accident, the church has developed too fast. There are many places in the world that have suffered disasters. Rather than believing in the so-called gods and wizards, ordinary people are still more willing to believe in relying on their own hands to help people who are suffering the same way as themselves.

Ordinary people, so the number of people in the church increased so fast that the church was almost established as an organization.

As long as human beings have more and more negative emotions, those special demons will become more and more powerful.

Therefore, a way is needed to stabilize the emotions of ordinary people so that they can be full of hope for their future lives.

How many mages are there?

There are vacancies in a large number of important positions, and there is no other option but to send mages to temporarily replace them.

This is the specific situation of the world now, so the number of ordinary people is very huge and terrifying.

Don’t some of the materials and commodities used need to be mined and manufactured by someone?

What impact will a force that controls the support of about 20% of the world's population have on the world?

Later, the church officially became independent. The top leaders of the church were no longer people from the Holy City and the Five Continents Magic Association, but ordinary people who had been helped by the church. After awakening magic through their own efforts, they followed the original help

Just like your own, dedicate your meager efforts to other suffering people.

How many do ordinary people have these days? How many billions or tens of billions?

The emergence of such a situation has caused headaches for the magic associations of the five continents. As the apex of magic forces in the world, they have great strength, but even if they are strong, they cannot lose the support of ordinary people.

As for why only 40% of people can enter high school, Jiang Bai is not very clear about this. It may be a problem of resources, or it may be an imperfect education system, which makes fighting against demons the top priority, thus delaying the construction of basic infrastructure.

of construction.

From then on, it became an unspoken rule that no magical force could interfere with the church, and the church could not interfere with magical forces. Neither party crossed that line.

Therefore, the church system was established. At the beginning, the angel of the Holy City served as the pope, and the Five Continents Magic Association provided life, allowing the church to go to cities that were attacked by demons to start providing assistance and help the local people rebuild

House, start a new life to get more believers.

After a small number of mages were taken away to do things, the demons on the border became rampant.

There is guaranteed to be one mage among the 10 people, and if you are lucky, there may be two.

But...you can't let a mage plant vegetables and dig the ground, let a mage repair pools and water pipes, and let a mage build houses on construction sites, right?

The mage's strength and efficiency are very good, but that's not how he is used.

According to the normal conditions of this world, the probability of a person entering high school is 40%, and the probability of becoming a mage after graduation is also 40%. What does this mean?

Once these people all give up hope for the future, it will be a devastating blow to the entire world.

As they lost hope for their future lives, a large number of ordinary people began to give up on themselves and give up on living.

The rich rely on resources and the poor rely on hard work. This is the truth.

"Um... I don't think it's nice to say that about the Pope, right?"

Among the people, the pope is on the same level as the Parthenon goddess, but the goddess has not appeared for so many years, so the church has more faith. The church's armed force is also very powerful, but there is a slight difference in savings.

"There's nothing wrong with that. The pope is twenty years older than our old man. He should be over 120 years old this year. There are not many old people of this age. Besides, he is also a forbidden spell mage. Logically speaking,

He should have died long ago."
