For the next few days, Fredden maintained a calm appearance, but secretly there were waves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Benjamin's group did not stay in Riley City all the time, but instead split up and traveled almost half of Fredon's town while preparing the Declaration of Free Magic.

What they do must not be confined to a few cities. In particular, the death of the king was originally national news. Aldrich was reluctant to make it public, so Benjamin had to help him and give him a national announcement.

Of course, in this case, they didn't dare to be too high-profile, that is, disguised themselves and infiltrated the taverns of various cities, becoming the original source of rumors.

"Hey, did you hear that? Your Majesty...... His Majesty seems to have passed away. ”

"What? you...... Wasn't it okay the other day? How so, where did you hear the news?"

"I heard from a friend at the palace, it is said that ah...... It is said that the murderer's name is Aldrich, the president of the Masonic Order of Mages, and now he has completely controlled the royal palace. ”

"You...... There are so many people here, you should be quiet! Forget it, let's hurry up. ”

The same conversation is repeated in prime-hour taverns across the country. Benjamin's mages were divided into groups of twos and disguised as passers-by, staging such a scene in the lively crowd. They don't deliberately keep their voices down, and the people at the tables next to them can naturally hear a few words.

It's a bit rude, but even if people only hear a little bit about news of this level, even if they don't believe it, they can't help but ask around.

"That...... Have you heard anything about Your Majesty lately?"

"What? You've heard of that, too...... Message?"

"Yes, it's spreading everywhere now, and even my sister, who married into the next town, came to me and asked me if it was true?"

In this way, between coming and going, just asking made them a little stunned. In addition, in the past few days, the king has indeed not appeared, and the entire palace is also in a closed state. Therefore, the entire people of Freden have gradually believed this rumor.

And, most crucially, for several days, there has been no official clarification announcement.

In this way, the people panicked, and some even began to secretly pack their bags and prepare to run away. There are half as many pedestrians on the streets as usual, and prices across the country have skyrocketed. Feeling that the rain was coming, the merchants began to stock up, and many shops closed their doors.

As for the branches of the Mage Freemasons in the major cities, the doors were also closed during this time, and angry mercenaries or citizens came to their doors almost every day to make trouble. For example, in the Masonic branch of Riley City, the walls are full of dirty egg yolk marks, and the eggshells on the ground are piled up several centimeters thick, and if you get closer, you can smell a terrible stench.

And it has reached this level, and in the mage circle, naturally there is no way to treat it as if everything has not happened.

Many mages have approached their friends at the Mage Freemasons and wanted to ask them what had happened. But as a result, they found that all the Mage Freemasons had disappeared without a trace. As for the branch on Caritus' side, the people inside were at a loss, completely unaware of what was going on.

Therefore, there is actually some confusion in the mage circle, and they don't know what to do.

"Master Benjamin, all of this ...... Is it really what you say it is?"

Late that night, in the area of the abandoned house on the outskirts of Riley, Mage Finch asked Benjamin standing in front of him with an unusually tangled expression.

After sowing the first seeds of rumour, Benjamin took refuge in Riley City and waited to see what happened.

And after the rumors became more and more fermented, Mage Finch really couldn't sit still. After getting no response from the Mage Freemasons, he managed to contact Benjamin and meet tonight.

"It is true that I was in the palace. Benjamin nodded and replied with great affirmation, "A month ago, there was an assassination of His Majesty in the palace. At that time, the Assassins had come out of the Mage Freemasonry, but Aldrich passed the blame on his subordinates, pretending not to know. His Majesty was suspicious and entrusted me with a private investigation, but when I went quietly to see His Majesty the King a few days ago, I came across the scene of Aldrich killing His Majesty. ”

Finch also sighed when he heard this.

"You're in a dangerous situation right now. After a moment of silence, he persuaded, "Aldrich will definitely attack you with his free hand, you should quickly pack up your things and leave." ”

Benjamin shook his head and said, "I'm not going to run away." ”

Finch frowned, "You want to stay?"

"If I escape, what about the rest of the mages? Besides, if the church takes complete control of Freden, won't it be the same everywhere?"

Hearing this, Mage Finch nodded helplessly, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Benjamin knew that the other party had been convinced. So, suddenly, he took a pamphlet out of his pocket and handed it to Master Finch.

"It's ......," Mage Finch wondered.

"It's something I can do for everyone. Benjamin replied, "Look, we've just made it up." Perhaps, it can change the current passive situation. ”

Mage Finch took the booklet and flipped through it quickly.

However, after a while, his expression began to become a little complicated.

"What are you ......?" after a few minutes, he closed the page and looked like he was about to speak, "Is it really necessary? There are a lot of things in it, it shouldn't be passed out so easily, right?"

Benjamin shook his head and said, "You mean those potion recipes." I know that if these things get around, maybe the Apothecary Mage won't be recruited by you. But have you ever wondered why the world of potions has been slow to develop, precisely because most of the knowledge is held in the hands of people like you and me, and they refuse to let it go. ”

"I don't think potions are slow. Finch retorted.

"That's because you haven't been to the Kingdom of Hori. Benjamin replied, "The level of production of magic props is far beyond your imagination. ”

“......”

Mage Finch fell silent.

Benjamin continued, "And if there are no recipes and spells in this, how can it become popular among mages? The Church already has de facto control over Freden's government, and if this continues, you and I will be left with nothing." ”

Finch was silent.

"Your Excellency should understand the seriousness of the matter, right?" Benjamin was also a little anxious, "How many years ago, the Kingdom of Hori was not a hell for mages, but why did the church drive the mages there into the endless abyss? ”

"Mage Finch, don't let Freyden become the next kingdom of Hori. ”

Benjamin felt his mouth dry a little as he spoke, but in the end, Mage Finch shook his head.

"Master Benjamin, I think you may be a little too pessimistic. He handed the pamphlet back to Benjamin, "The people of the church are hateful, but ...... We are not the group of mages of the Hori Kingdom back then. There are so many mages in Fredon, the church doesn't dare to act rashly. ”

"Vinci Mage ......"

Benjamin wanted to say something more, but the other party shook his head and turned to leave.
