Chapter 42, The Decent Hudson_1

Even the magicians, who were continuously oppressed by the Church, are now stepping onto the front stage, establishing Wizard's Associations under the support of the nobles of various countries.

It's not just the magicians; many unpopular professions that were originally only found underground are now gradually coming into public view.

For example, wizards and arcanists who pursue truth preach about heretical theories every few days: Divine spirits are just powerful creatures, not omnipotent.

These people are now mostly hidden in the Wizard's Association. Wizard's Associations spread across the continent are fast becoming the headquarters for heretics.

There's nothing that can be done about it, who else can claim that the pursuit of magic research also seeks the truth? To become a great magician, overcoming fear of divine spirits is a prerequisite.
