Benjamin didn't rush back to River, but spent some time between Glory and Hill City.

The Church will certainly send messengers. In case the emissary they sent was more eloquent, or the queen was not provoked enough, the real emissary went over to explain it, and it might lead to the failure of the whole plan of discord.

Benjamin certainly wouldn't allow that to happen.

So, on a mountain road, he found a messenger sent by the Church.

Without saying anything, Benjamin hid in the shadows and killed the messenger with a single shot - the other party may have a listening cross on him, so Benjamin is not easy to show up, so he can only use this method.

After that, he walked away and did not stop in the area.

Killing the messenger will surely slow down the church's actions for a while. And in a few days, the Queen's army attacked the vicinity of Glory, and the conflict intensified, and it was impossible for them to unite.

After doing all this, Benjamin spent another half a day and returned to Changhe Town smoothly.

There's still no news from Myers, but Benjamin doesn't expect anything anymore. This guy has always been elusive, and he never shows up, and there is nothing anyone else can do.

And in the town of Long River, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

"Letters have been sent from villages in many places expressing their willingness to support His Majesty the King, the villages of Carmo and Angus...... In just a few days, in fact, many places have surrendered, and some cities have also sent people to investigate the situation, and it seems that they have the intention of surrendering. ”

A ten-member elite mage squad has arrived in Long River, Tony reported to Benjamin.

Benjamin couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

In this way, it seems that the king can recover many parts of Carretus without bloodshed!

Of course, it's all corners, but the focus is on the Heartland and Glory. If they can defeat Glori, it will actually be equivalent to a successful restoration, and the rest of Carretus will also be annexed on its own.

However, they certainly won't be that easy to do.

"How's the matter with the magical?" Benjamin asked again, after thinking about it.

"Pretty good. Tony looked excited, and replied, "Your Majesty has drawn a large area for us in the town, and has brought in all the people on the list. Now there are thirty or forty people gathered, and the group of apprentices have also rushed back one after another, and we are now teaching almost a hundred apprentices. ”

“...... It's almost hundreds?", however, Benjamin was not particularly pleased with this.

After all, he is only an apprentice, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield in a short time. At this moment, he is developing a magic trade, and he also wants to find the kind of talent that is more talented, quickly train to become a mage, and then become the backbone of the fight against the church.

And this kind of excellent talent may only be one in dozens of apprentices. Therefore, a hundred or so is not enough for them.

"There will be more people coming. Tony said with a look of certainty, "Your Majesty also mentioned our matter when he announced it to the whole country. So now, all of Garretus knows that we have magic to learn here, and those who have been inspired by the Free Magic Proclamation will come to us. ”

"I hope so......"

Benjamin nodded.

"So, Master Benjamin, is that enough for us here?" Tony said, stretching his hands again, "Joanna started complaining yesterday that there were too many apprentices, and she couldn't teach them. The mage army is still in the grassland, so it's time to call them over, right?"

When Benjamin heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "No, let's let the large army stay in the grassland, and call a dozen more people to come and help." Our position in the steppe is already very solid, and we can't just give it up. ”

"Okay......"

In this way, a bunch of detailed reports were reported, and Benjamin slowly became familiar with Changhe Town. He followed Tony to the place the king had given them, a residential area to the west of town. The renovation is still in progress, but the appearance of a mage's ghetto is already beginning to take shape. Tony pointed to the largest house and told Benjamin that it was the king's house for him.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but nod.

Not bad...... At least a king who knows how to repay his kindness.

At the heart of the "Mage Quarter" is a spacious plaza that used to be deserted, but now a great place for apprentices to connect with magic.

As soon as Benjamin walked into this square, the eyes of countless people converged on him.

"That man...... The mage who summoned the Sky Castle that night! He's really good, can we learn that level?"

"He is our head, who led us all the way from the west to the east of Carretus. ”

"Mr. Benjamin, you're finally back!"

Among these people, there are natives of Changhe Town, who have only seen the scene of Benjamin fighting with the bishop that night, but they don't really know Benjamin, there are also apprentices who have followed Benjamin through countless villages, and when they see Benjamin, they immediately show reverence in their eyes, and the ten mages are obviously a little overwhelmed.

Countless people surrounded Benjamin, which made Benjamin a little unbearable.

"That...... What should you do, I'm just going to come and see. ”

Even if the previous acquaintances were counted, the new apprentices all looked at him with curious eyes, which made him very embarrassed.

"Mr. Benjamin, what kind of magic did you use that night?" asked a newcomer.

"Hmm...... It's ice smashing. Benjamin hesitated, but told the truth.

Suddenly, there was silence for a while.

The ten mages looked helpless, apparently accustomed to Benjamin-esque "entry-level magic". As for the apprentices, they were a little dazed, probably thinking that they had learned the art of fake ice crushing.

"Don't be discouraged, all magic has potential to be tapped. Seeing this, Benjamin had to cough a few times and encouraged, "The important thing is to find the direction that suits you, think a lot, study hard, and everyone will definitely become stronger." ”

He felt like a homeroom teacher, but ...... What's the way, if you want to be the boss, you must learn how to pour chicken soup.

And looking at the expressions of those apprentices, it seemed quite longing, and Benjamin was also relieved. That way, these old-fashioned chicken soups are still very effective for these apprentices who are just starting out in the magic circle.

Therefore, he nodded, said a few more casual words, sent the group back to practice magic, and snuck himself out of the square.

After resting for a while in his new home, he went again to the king in the centre of the town, and informed him of what he had heard from his visit.

However, what Benjamin did not expect was that as soon as he walked through the gate, he found that the king was entertaining.

"Master Benjamin, you're finally back! Come, come, meet this General Hawke. When he heard from me, he rushed here to return to my command with his army. ”
