For the next month, Benjamin spent the next month researching this new way of meditating.

He found a few other mages to come over and experiment with the applicability of runes, but the result surprised him very much - it turned out that it was not the mages who had studied magic for many years and finally reached a bottleneck that could construct runes in their own spiritual power, and other mages could also do it.

In fact, except for the students of the full academy, the more than a hundred teachers could all adopt this method to cultivate magic.

After researching, they also found that condensing runes required a certain level of spiritual power as a foundation. If the mental strength is not enough, it will be eaten back, causing a lot of mental damage, and the students who volunteered to come to the experiment have also taken sick leave for several weeks. But this damage is not permanent, and it does not require much mental power, which can generally be achieved by a mage who has been meditating for a few years.

In other words, it's a completely universal way of meditation.

"We've revolutionized the wizarding world. When he discovered this, Benjamin couldn't help but stand up and said to all the mages in the research group, "Maybe in the future, one day, condensing runes will become the norm for mages, and our original meditation methods will be called 'detours in the obscurantist period' by history." ”

Hearing this, the mages looked at each other, probably not understanding where the excitement was.

- The people who can enter this group are all high-level mages, but they are still concerned about the present, and they have not thought about what kind of impact this kind of action will have on the subsequent history.

Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head: "Forget it...... Go ahead and meditate. ”

There was such a day, I don't know if it would be hundreds of years later, and they still have a lot of work to do at the moment.

First of all, they have to study this form of meditation thoroughly.

By constantly absorbing the corresponding elements, they can indeed enhance the runes and thus become stronger. It's just that they just started to try, and who knows if there will be any new problems after they practice deeply?

Thinking back on his experiences on the elemental plane, Benjamin knew that it was not a world where humans could take what they wanted. Using runes to cultivate magic is equivalent to stealing the power of the elemental plane, and it is not surprising if it later leads to some side effects or backlash.

Therefore, he did not rush to popularize this method in the academy, but asked these mages to continue to meditate and wait and see for a while before making a decision.

And in this process, the system will also record their various data as future research materials.

"Judging from the data of thirty test subjects, when the spiritual power reaches forty-two points, the runes can be condensed. The system concluded, "Of course, you can also take advantage of the fact that the numerical quantification of mental power has not yet been promoted, and set this indicator as a relatively easy to remember number." ”

Benjamin shook his head and said, "Forget it, the values they set before, and the special measurement tools have been made, and it will be more troublesome to change them." ”

In the past, in order to show the magic more clearly, they had established such a system, which was still being tested and not yet popularized. But now it seems that they may have to formulate another indicator for the strength of the runes.

Take your time, it's not easy......

Benjamin knew very well what kind of turmoil might be caused if the news were to spread outside the academy. Therefore, at the moment all this is kept strictly confidential. After the consultation, all those in the know agreed to stay at the academy for half a year, meditate in peace, and not pass on any news to the outside world. The people in the Academy's dark department will also secretly monitor their every move to prevent accidents.

- No way, the stakes are high, and you can't blame Benjamin for not believing in them enough.

Of course, Benjamin has always been with these people, in the name of observation and research, by the way, to prevent leaks, and to ensure that things are safe with the sophistication of the water elemental sensing method.

Because of this, he has spent almost all of this month.

Nothing was done outside, and all the visitors in the past were pushed into the hands of Wallis and some other managers. And it was true that nothing major happened in a short period of time, so he focused on it and was not disturbed.

It's a bit of a feeling of not hearing what's going on outside the window.

In the end, it was the news from the dark department of the academy that made him have to withdraw from his research and return to the complicated world.

"The dark ministry report from the Kingdom of Horry, the coronation ceremony has ended the day before yesterday, and Grant Rieser has officially become the pope. Although the name he used for the general public was still Benjamin, everyone acquiesced to his identity, both within the church and in the circles of the aristocracy. ”

Hearing this report, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"So...... Don't those priests and nobles have an opinion?"

"There should be opinions, but they are all suppressed by force. The mercenary took out an envelope and handed it to Benjamin, "Some time ago, many nobles suffered because of this, like this list, which is one of the families that have been suppressed or even exterminated. As for the list of priests, it is difficult for us to investigate. ”

Benjamin took the envelope and nodded.

He was actually quite satisfied with the current intelligence work of the Academy's dark department.

At first, it was difficult to mix in the Hori Kingdom, but now he can investigate some secret news, and even summarize a list, and the few people sent over have made rapid progress!

However, he didn't say the praise, but continued to have a cold face, and said slowly: "Continue to work hard and find a way to investigate the list of priests." ”

There's no way, he's also discovered now, if he engages in the dark department, he can't reach a piece with people all day long. Maintaining the posture of the superior, it is also an inherent ritual to establish majesty and loyalty.

Moreover, the list of priests ...... It does matter.

It is conceivable that in Grant's situation, with a sensitive identity, and by killing the bishop and forcibly ascending to the pope, the priest must have been opposed in the process. Now that he has succeeded, there must have been many invisible rifts within the church.

Although he is not yet certain that he wants to see Grant as an enemy, it is always good to be prepared.

Speaking of which, the letter he wrote to his family, a month has passed, Miles should have been delivered, right? I don't know what response Grant will have, and whether there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

In fact, if you think about it, with Grant's orientation, it is normal to dislike the church. Moreover, whether it is a or a mage, they all belong to the disadvantaged groups who are discriminated against in the Hori Kingdom, and the disadvantaged groups unite to fight for equal rights, which can be said to be a matter of course. Optimistically, maybe Grant has already come up with the idea of destroying the church, and what is missing is a perfect combination of inside and outside.

And if he, as the pope, was really willing to help eradicate the church, things would be much easier......

As he thought, Benjamin opened the envelope. He glanced twice at the list of victims of the nobles of the Kingdom of Hori, wondering if the Fur family had suffered from this purge if they hadn't contacted him for so long.

However, just after such a glance, Benjamin saw a surname that he never expected.

He was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

"The Riser family was stripped of their nobility, all fiefs were reclaimed, and family members were reduced to commoners. The former Duke, Claude Rieser, was hanged for offending the majesty of God. ”
