After handing the Holy Light Cannon to Maurice, along with some other drawings, Benjamin rubbed his dazed head and left the magic prop department like a student leaving the exam room.

The content of each drawing is quite complex, and Benjamin has actually made a lot of mistakes and omissions in his memory these days. Fortunately, Morris had learned the church technique in the first place, and Benjamin memorized it while he helped to correct it, and it took quite a bit of time to finally reproduce the blueprints thoroughly.

"These blueprints can be said to be the top secret of the church, and I was not even qualified to look at them back then. Morris exclaimed, "How the hell did you get your hands on it?"

"Nothing, just luck. ”

If you put it in the past, these drawings can definitely become the top priority of the magic prop department at this moment. However, at this moment, with the study of the fusion runes, the significance of these drawings is not so great.

As a result, they will focus part of their efforts on crafting these strategic weapons, but more importantly, they will focus on the powerful magic items that ordinary people can use.

The current result is just a defensive prop, and when the offensive weapon is developed in the future and can be mass-produced, the combat effectiveness of the dark part of the academy will definitely rise to a very terrifying level.

Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if they were going to start recruiting some mercenaries.

Of course, these things can only be done slowly, and there is no point in him being in a hurry. At the moment, the affairs of the branch school have not been completely completed, so let's let the people from the magic prop department study it there slowly.

"Over there...... How many teachers have you recruited so far?"

He immediately approached Wallis and asked.

"At the moment, there are only about 40 of them, but the recruitment is still going on, and in the end there will definitely be enough manpower. Wallis flipped through his little notebook and reported.

"Find a place and gather them all. I'm going to give them a meeting. ”

"Is it going to start now? Isn't it too rushed?"

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. ”

Wallis didn't say anything when he heard this, nodded and set about it. There are three branches to be built in total, so the mages recruited are also from all over the world, but as long as you say it, those people will definitely be very willing to come to the magic academy.

About five days later.

"Dear fellow mages, welcome to the Academy of Magic. ”

In a large empty classroom, Benjamin stood in front of the podium, looking at the dozens of mages in the audience. He glanced at it, then said with a smile on his face.

The mages below looked at him with awe-inspiring expressions.

However, Benjamin immediately changed his words and said, "Do you know what my original intention was in establishing the Academy of Magic?"

"Yes...... Spread the knowledge of magic, so that anyone with talent has the opportunity to learn magic?" someone thought about it and memorized the college's admissions slogan, obviously doing a good job.

"That's the purpose of the college, not the original intention. Benjamin shook his head and said, "Our original intention was simple—to eradicate the church." ”

The mages in the audience were all stunned. They all came to apply for the teaching of the branch school, and no one expected that as soon as they came up, Benjamin would say such cold and hard words with a serious face.

Some of them, whose expressions had already begun to look strange, seemed to realize something.

"You may wonder why I am saying this to you in the first place. Benjamin continued, "The church has been in the Kingdom of Horry lately, and it seems that we don't need to be so nervous. But...... Before you know it, they're already on the move. ”

When the mages heard this, they looked at each other.

"What ......do you mean, Lord Dean?"

Benjamin smiled slightly, suddenly took out a piece of paper, and opened his mouth to read it. On the paper, there are one name after another, and it is also the name of some people in the audience. Everyone whose name was read out, even if their faces were calm, couldn't help but have a little bead of sweat on their foreheads.

- This is the list of undercover agents that the system has spied on the elemental plane.

After reading it, Benjamin put down the piece of paper and raised his head: "Those mages whose names I read just now, can they stand up first?"

After a moment of silence, the men slowly rose from their seats, their faces different. Someone forced a smile and asked casually, "What's wrong......?" Did I recruit us to our school?"

Benjamin smiled too. However, the change in atmosphere was already felt by everyone present.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, what does that mean......"

Many mages looked puzzled and discussed in whispers below.

"I guess everyone is very confused, so I won't sell it. Benjamin let out a cold snort, and his smile disappeared completely, "These people are undercover agents sent by the church, traitors among mages, shameless people who want to steal the secrets of the academy!"

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

After being called out, everyone in the undercover looked shocked. Some people reacted quickly, and they could immediately put on an innocent posture and justified: "Your Excellency the Academy and the President...... Is there a misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?" Benjamin let out a sneer, "don't think you're the only one who will send someone to our side, we also have undercover agents in the church, and your name is what I got from the church's confidential documents." ”

However, the attitude of these people is a little too tenacious.

"No! This must be a misunderstanding! Someone is trying to frame us! Lord Dean, and all the mages here, please believe us, we are definitely not undercover agents sent by some church!"

"Well, since you said that you are not from the church, then, let a simple holy light pop up on the spot. ”

"W-What?"

"Holy Light Bullet, one of the most basic entry-level magic in the light system, is also included in our course. Benjamin said slowly, "Of course, if you explain it from the perspective of the church, the Holy Light Bullet should be a divine art. But as we've already announced, magic is part of magic, and the church's claims aren't convincing at all. ”

The expressions of those undercover agents became a little nervous again, and after secretly exchanging a few glances, one person spoke: "However, we have never cultivated light magic, in case we don't need it......"

"It doesn't matter if you don't need it, not everyone has the affinity for the light element. Benjamin shook his head and said, "But...... I don't want to try it all the time, which is suspicious. ”

"We ......"

The men tried to justify something more, but Benjamin interrupted them: "I have seen the mages trained by the church before, who are humble and humble, and who always have a deep hatred for their own identity, so that they will worship the so-called hypocritical and ethereal divine will. The faith in your hearts does not allow you to try light magic, which is called divine magic. That's why they hesitate as they are now. ”
