One at the same time.

It wasn't a quiet night in Regina, in Ikor either.

"Everything is ready, and our men have infiltrated the back kitchen and guards of the palace to cooperate with the action at the banquet. And also...... This is the badge of the Mage's Guild, I got you a fake identity, you will wear it tomorrow and join me at the banquet. ”

In a secret attic, Benjamin and the president met here. The president took out the badge of the Mage Guild and handed it to Benjamin with a solemn face.

Benjamin put away the badge and asked, "Is there anything unusual lately?"

The president replied, "Not really." Recently, the church has been very peaceful, and the queen has been guarding her palace every day, and the situation in various countries is very stable. ”

Benjamin nodded as well.

After a tour of the kingdom of Hori, he crossed the border again and arrived at Ikor. The queen's birthday is approaching, and the matter of improving the image of the mage of the Horry Kingdom can only be slowly resolved later.

However, he had stayed long enough in the kingdom of Hori.

During this time, the operation of the Academy of Magic was relatively smooth, and there were no major problems. The first semester is coming to an end and the entire college is preparing for the final exams. Although Benjamin was far away, he was still able to learn about the situation of the academy in time through the report of Transsonic Wood.

Including the Academy's Secret Division, secret strongholds have been established everywhere, and those mercenaries have blended in with ordinary people and begun to build a better reputation for the Academy of Magic—all in the reports given to him by his subordinates.

Therefore, Benjamin's far away door is still relatively reassuring.

In the event of this birthday party, he also thought about calling some mages from the academy to help, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he was enough.

On Ikor's side, the guild leader also gathered dozens of guild mages. All of them had drunk the antidote and were freed from the queen's control, so they were willing to intervene at the banquet to help Benjamin stabilize the situation. And in that case, as long as Benjamin can level the queen, all other problems will not be a problem.

"Your Excellency, then, wait here for now, and a carriage will come and pick you up tomorrow. The president took out a portrait, handed it to Benjamin, and said, "This is the new identity I found for you, and I have tried to resemble you as much as possible, and I should be able to look like this at your level, right?"

Benjamin took the portrait, looked at it twice, and nodded.

And just like that, the president turned away, and Benjamin lay down on the bed in this attic and spent the night, ready for tomorrow's action.

The next evening.

“...... Is it Master John? The Elder sent me to pick you up at the feast. ”

Listening to the whispered questioning from outside the door, Benjamin, who had finished his disguise, pushed open the door, nodded to the coachman, left the attic, and boarded the carriage outside the gate downstairs.

They drove swiftly towards the palace.

Today's Regina is full of festive atmosphere, and for commoners, the Queen's birthday is also their celebration day. Cheerful children run from the street to the end of the street, shaking their newly-acquired toy bells in their hands, and the crowds disappear far into the afterglow of the setting sun.

Probably no one will realize what amazing changes will happen to Ikor after tonight.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the palace without incident. Show your badge, be picked up, and enter the lobby...... Everything went as smoothly as the president had arranged. The hallways were filled with busy servants, mages of all ages chatting with each other, and colorful flowers spread from the doorway to the main hall.

It can be said that this is an extremely luxurious banquet. The queen's inability to become a mage does not seem to affect her hedonistic mood. Of course, it is also possible that she needs such a banquet to make up for the regret in her heart.

Benjamin couldn't have guessed. However, he had already unleashed the Water Elemental Sensing Method, carefully spying on everything here.

As far as he could see, there were quite a few powerful mages gathered here. Some of the mages' spiritual power was even deeper than his, so he didn't dare to snoop too presumptuously.

And to a limited extent, he has not yet found the figure of the queen.

Do you have to be the last one to appear?

In this way, Benjamin slowly walked into the hall of the banquet. The spacious hall was full of people, and there were so many people in black robes that it looked like some kind of cult gathering. On the long table, which spans more than ten meters, wine and delicacies have been placed at this moment for guests to eat at will.

At a casual glance, Benjamin saw that this seemed to be a mage's party, and that Ikor's politicians would probably be holding banquets somewhere else.

- After all, it's the Queen's birthday, and there can't be just one scene.

As soon as Benjamin walked in, the president found him. He walked slowly out of the crowd, nodded at Benjamin, and led him to a corner where there were not many people.

"The potions were all in the box in the left corner, two thousand in all. As soon as he spoke, he whispered.

Benjamin nodded, glanced cautiously at the mages around him, and suddenly asked, "The mages of this area...... It's all our people?"

The president smiled and nodded.

Benjamin also knew it. No wonder they dare to speak so disregardively, as long as they hide in the group of mages on their side, they have the problem of not worrying about leaking their mouths.

Therefore, he immediately continued: "So...... What about the Queen, when will she show up?"

"I don't know, it all depends on her mood. The president smiled wryly and said, "However, as is customary, she will greet the people in the square outside the palace before appearing at the special banquet of the mage." ”

"Okay, what about the mages here? Are all the people from the Mage Guild here?"

The president shook his head and said, "Not yet." However, looking at the current number of people, this year's situation seems to be a bit special, and there may be more mages absent than in previous years. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he immediately frowned: "If those people don't come, we can't feed the antidote to their mouths." ”

"It doesn't matter, the number of absences can range from two hundred to three hundred. As long as the rest of the people are liberated, the two or three hundred people will not be able to resist. ”

"Really......"

Listening to the president's words, Benjamin nodded, but there was still a little bump in his heart.

Doesn't this year's situation seem a little special? It's not a big deal, but he's always feeling a little uneasy. They're going to act this year, so how can this year's situation be so special?

Will there be any surprises?

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many powerful mages around, Benjamin would have sensed it presumptuously. But it was precisely because he was afraid of being detected that he could do nothing but wait quietly for the queen to appear, and even the system could not obtain enough data.

- The scope of observation of the system is closely linked to Benjamin's field of vision. Benjamin couldn't see through, so he could only collect data for this small area in front of him.

However, even with a small amount of information, it seems to have discovered something.

"Oh, be careful, the situation at this party seems to be really special. It suddenly said in Benjamin's mind.

Benjamin suddenly chuckled in his heart.

"What did you find?"

"Not all of these invited mages are real mages. The system replied slowly, "Like those guys at the door, although they are wearing robes, after I analyzed their mental power, I found that they are actually just ordinary people. ”

Benjamin was stunned.

"You mean ......"

The system interface said: "They're all mixed in, just like you." ”
