The Black Magic Cult is also a strange one.
Because most of the materials for building the R System are Magic materials, ordinary people cannot endure that environment for too long, so they can only capture people with Magic talent or low-level Magicians.
From the construction of the first one until the eighth one was destroyed now.
Who knows how many orphans with Magic talent were captured, how many small villages were destroyed, and how many children were taken away throughout the Continent.
But after capturing so many talented children, they surprisingly didn't find anyone with extraordinary talent among them.
If they had found a few and nurtured them well, they would have had people to support their facade.
As a result, these children either escaped or were abducted by others, becoming a large supply point.
Of course.... it's also possible these cultists only have that much foresight.
They can only detect Magic talent; those with Magic talent are captured as laborers, and they can't detect anything more profound.
Perhaps this is the drawback of the Cult's model.
Although they are spread across the Continent, they can only listen to reports from their subordinates and do not directly interact with the captured children.
If the subordinates say they captured a certain number of talented children, then that's how many talented children were captured; if they can't find anyone with extraordinary talent, then there isn't anyone.
Unlike Light Guilds and Dark Guilds, which have powerful Magicians in charge.
They can perform Magic awakening, including for those rescued this time; Makarov can easily guide them to awaken their Magic and even find corresponding Magic tutorials.
This is something the Black Magic Cult cannot compare to.
Gar comforted Bukkanan for now, saying they could only wait until this period passed.
Currently, they are in conflict with Grimoire Heart and don't have the energy to deal with these matters.
All Guild members have been recalled.
Makarov, Gar, and Ur are currently staying here.
Ivan's whereabouts are unknown, and Makarov doesn't mention him, so they can only temporarily pretend he doesn't exist.
Gildarts, on the other hand, took the intelligence collected by the Council and went out to destroy the Dark Guilds that had been identified; Gar also planned to go out for a cleanup soon, as Dark Guilds represent countless wealth.
The fact that the Council handed over the information on those Dark Guilds this time was entirely because the incident had become too big.
If they didn't support Fairy Tail, how would the Guilds on the Continent view the Magic Council?
Grimoire Heart mobilized one-third of the Dark Guilds on the Ishgar Continent against Fairy Tail, and you have intelligence on those Dark Guilds but don't share it?
Then who would still respect the Magic Council?
Normally, when various Guilds wanted to strike at Dark Guilds, it was entirely based on luck, such as encountering a Dark Guild during a mission, then following the clues to investigate further, finding the Dark Guild, and striking them.
Or, while undertaking a mission in some deep mountain forest, they happened to stumble upon a Dark Guild's base.
It's usually under these circumstances that they can strike at Dark Guilds.
No Guild has the financial resources to establish a complete and comprehensive intelligence system.
Only the Magic Council, which is supported by countless nations and Guilds, and the three Dark Guilds of the Balam Alliance, which are supported by Dark Guilds across the entire Continent, can establish a complete intelligence system.
These years, no one knows how many Dark Guilds the Magic Council has struck down.
Few Light Guilds constantly monitor the Council's troop movements, and besides, the entire Continent has Council branches, so they can't keep track.
They only know that the Council's direction has gradually changed in recent years.
