Two days later.

"Is Your Excellency an emissary from the Academy of Magic? At a young age, he must be a very remarkable person who can be trusted by Dean Benjamin. ”

At the entrance of Glory's palace, Benjamin disguised himself as an ordinary academy emissary, was greeted by a thin, tall middle-aged man.

- It's not that he pretends to be addicted to others, it's just that he finds that if he shows others as he is, others will have a strong sense of distance, as if he is afraid of the name "Dean Benjamin", and he is on guard all over his body, which makes Benjamin himself very inconvenient.

Therefore, he simply pretends to be a nobody, and the attitude of other people towards him will become much more natural.

"Excuse me, sir, ...... you?"

The other party smiled and replied, "My name is Spencer, and I am a senior advisor to His Majesty. I heard that the envoy of the academy will arrive today, so I came to greet him. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

In the official system of this world, senior advisers are quite high-ranking officials. As the king said, the officials of Carretus are not very kind to the Academy of Magic now, but a high-ranking official has shown such a friendly attitude towards him, which is a bit of a joke hiding a knife.

"I see, then there is Lord Lao. Thinking so, he also smiled and walked into the palace under the greeting of the other party.

Glori's palace was no stranger to him, and through a few corridors, Benjamin walked slowly into the hall. The hall was filled with Carretus' officials, some familiar faces, but more people Benjamin had never seen before.

As soon as Benjamin walked in, the officials, who had been talking non-stop, closed their mouths at this moment. At that moment, they turned around and looked at Benjamin in unison, their snooping eyes hinting at different thoughts.

Benjamin didn't pay attention and walked straight in.

"See Your Majesty. ”

He had informed the king in advance that the purpose of the day was to eliminate the resistance of these officials to the Academy of Magic, so that the branch could be opened smoothly. Therefore, the king also called most of the officials to the palace early to wait, and he sat on the throne, looking at the people below, nodding from time to time.

"You're finally here! Tell them why the college is building a branch. ”

After some pleasantries, after the whole routine of etiquette, the king did not seem to want to delay any longer. He slapped the armrest, immediately brought the conversation back to business, and said this to Benjamin.

The faces of the officials present all changed at this moment. At least, the smile on the face of Spencer, the senior adviser who had brought Benjamin in, quietly disappeared in that moment.

Benjamin nodded and spoke slowly:

"That's right. After the baptism of the church some time ago, the number of mages in the territory of Carretus has plummeted. I heard His Majesty say that he couldn't even establish a mage organization in his own country. Therefore, in order to repay His Majesty for the kindness he gave us the land, we have decided to establish a branch school in Carretus to train more mages for the country. ”

The reason is that he has already thought about it, and he doesn't think there will be any mistakes. The key question is whether these officials eat or not.

"To repay Your Majesty's kindness...... Your Excellency said it nicely. At this moment, an official who looked like a mean person walked out and said in a strange manner, "If your academy really thinks about Your Majesty, why don't you want to help Your Majesty in the matter of Ikor?"

"In the case of Ikor, our academy is also a victim. It was not easy to survive the Queen's attack, and naturally it was impossible to help His Majesty take the whole of Ikor into his arms. ”

"Come on, the current system of Ikor is not something that your magic academy has created. You say you have no power behind your back, who will believe you?"

"That's the case, isn't it Karretus who is taking over Ikor now? Isn't everything going well?Is our academy secretly manipulating Ikor, I think you should know in your heart. ”

"Humph......"

The one that was obviously picky was temporarily blocked back by Benjamin. But from the eyes around him, he could feel that there were also many people who really thought that the Magic Academy had bad intentions.

How did this atmosphere come about?

Benjamin thinks that he has been law-abiding, cherishes feathers, and has done far fewer bad things since he became the dean, so why has their image in Carretus declined so quickly?

I don't know why, he always feels ...... What happened to Carretus during this time.

"Lord Emissary, there are indeed very few mages in the territory of Caritus, but we also have the ability to train our own mages. An old official spoke slowly, "It's good that you're willing to help, but showing too much enthusiasm will inevitably lead to other suspicions, isn't it?"

After he finished speaking, many officials on the side also looked at Benjamin and nodded. Unlike the previous yin and yang weird guy, their expressions were not very hostile, but they did have a deep resistance.

Benjamin could also hear it, and it was their voice.

"In that case, you should understand how Carretus got to where he is today. So, he simply said bluntly, "If our academy really has a plan, we will have countless opportunities to help His Majesty return to the throne." But in the end, we kept our promise and returned the glory to Your Majesty. ”

The older official shook his head and said, "People's minds change. Thoughts that were not there at the beginning may not be really absent now. ”

What do you say...... If our dean hears it, he will be a little angry. ”

"But that's also a real concern in our hearts. The older official continued, "The Academy of Magic is getting stronger day by day, and will soon be stronger than any of our countries, and I ask for your understanding of the situation of our people." ”

"The strength of the academy and the strength of Carretus are all combined. We've signed a lot of cooperation treaties, and after the students graduate, many of them will stay in Caritus to help you defend the country. ”

"So, isn't the original cooperation enough? Why bother building a branch school to add trouble and suspicion?"

"The Church is watching from the sidelines, and our efforts will never be 'enough' until we have dealt with this common enemy. ”

"Messenger ......"

The officials' thoughts were much more stubborn than Benjamin had imagined, and he didn't know how many words he had to say, but Benjamin never saw much of a change in his attitude. He originally thought that he could fight a group of Confucians and scold a few shameless old thieves to death, but it turned out to be not as simple as written in the history books.

With the back and forth of your arguments, the scene gradually became stiff.

"Well, if it continues like this, it will hurt the relationship between our Carretus and the Academy, and it will not be good for Dean Benjamin to know. Lord Vincent, you might as well rest for a while. ”

In the end, Benjamin thought that the king would come out to stop the controversy, but unexpectedly, it was the senior adviser who had just greeted Benjamin who had just greeted him.

“...... Okay, Master Spencer. ”

Hearing this, the older official nodded, and although he seemed a little unwilling, he still returned to the crowd.

"Some officials may have some prejudice against the Academy of Magic, and this is not something that can be changed in a word, and please don't be angry. Adviser Spencer also turned around, smiled at Benjamin, and said.
