Chapter 609: The Plan for Drugging

After the meeting, Benjamin asked the apothecary mages in the academy to start making that special antidoteβ€”no matter what happened next, they had to be prepared beforehand.

The difficulty of making an antidote is not low, and now in the potions department, there are only a few mages who can make it smoothly. And if the entire Mage Guild were to be liberated, Benjamin estimated that they would need nearly 10,000 vials of this potion.

In order to accomplish this goal, the entire Potions Department had to be busy again.

"Senior, now that the research is complete, I won't force you to stay in the academy. In the laboratory, Benjamin looked at the old man refining potions in front of the stage and said, "If you want to go back, I can send someone to escort you back to Ikor." ”

The old man just stared at the liquid in the cup, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Senpai?"

"Don't bother me. The old man turned his head impatiently and glared at Benjamin, "In the course of my previous research, I discovered some new phenomena. I'll have to finish it here. ”

Benjamin couldn't hold back a smile from the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

"That'...... Are you done studying this phenomenon and then leaving the academy and returning to Ikor?"

"Of course. ”

Benjamin smiled and nodded, not saying anything more. The old man looked uncertain, turned his head back and continued his potion.

The whole laboratory was as busy as ever, except for the large flower cat named "Miss Mona Lisa" by the windowsill, lazily lying on its stomach and yawning.

Benjamin turned and walked away.

He was still in a good mood to be able to leave a master of pharmacies for the academy. However, after much thought, he decided to make a long trip to Ikor, and tell the president of the Mage Guild the news of the antidote.

The stakes are so high that it is certainly difficult to explain them by writing letters alone. As for the Fur family, his letter has just been sent, and there will definitely be no response in a short time, so he still has some free time now.

It would be better to take this opportunity to go to Ikor and discuss plans with the President than to continue the fruitless meetings he had here.

With that, Benjamin said hello to Wallis and went out again, taking advantage of the levitation effect provided by the water elemental realm, and flew to Ikor.

Two days later.

"This ...... Is this the potion that can undo the effects of potions?"

The head of a small village near Regina, Benjamin, and the president meet secretly in an inn. The president took the sample that Benjamin had given him, took a deep breath, and asked with some excitement.

Benjamin nodded.

"We've already tried it, and the mages of the dozen or so mage guilds that were captured before all of them have been relieved of their mental suggestion after drinking this medicine. I let them go, but ...... None of them seem to have returned to Ikor. ”

"That's for sure. The president shook his head and said, "With their current condition, going back to Ikor will only be asking for trouble." ”

Benjamin nodded as well.

"So...... What are you going to do?"

The president took a deep breath, as if his mood had not calmed down. He patted Benjamin on the shoulder vigorously and said, "I won't say much thanks, I'm going to give the recipe to Finch, he has a lot of potions shops under his command, and he can produce the potions we need as quickly as possible." ”

Benjamin touched his chin and nodded.

I almost forgot that they also have Vinci Mage, a potions giant. His industry is all in Freden, so he doesn't have to worry about leaking the news, and with the number of potion mages under his command, it is estimated that he can produce nearly 10,000 bottles of antidote in a few days, right?

The few people under your own command can also leave this matter alone.

"Then how are we going to feed the antidote to the mages in the guild?" Production's question was solved, and Benjamin began to ask the guildmaster about the plan for using it.

The president pondered for a moment and spoke, "What you said before...... My idea is to infiltrate slowly and feed them one by one. When the number of sober mages in the guild exceeds half, they rely on force to make the remaining half of them drink potions. It's just that, in Ikor's current situation, this approach may not work. ”

Benjamin frowned.

"What's wrong with Ikor now?"

"Yes, Her Majesty. The president sighed and said, "She's recovered from her previous loss, but she's become even more extreme than before. The current Mage Guild is like some kind of spy organization, everyone is at their own risk, everyone is watching each other, and it is difficult for us to feed the medicine to most people without knowing it in this situation. ”

Benjamin didn't show much surprise when he heard this.

It's a normal move, as a political leader, the queen realizes that she can't be a real mage, and will definitely intensify her efforts to hold the mage guild in her hands and use all her means.

Feeding medicine must not be such a simple matter, otherwise, would he still need to be as distressed as before?

"I don't think this can be done slowly. After thinking about it, Benjamin spoke, "Time drags on for a long time, and the queen will definitely notice it." Therefore, we can only decide the winner in one fell swoop. ”

"What do you mean......"

"As the guild leader, is there a way for you to bring most of the Mage Guild together in the same place?" Benjamin said slowly, "It doesn't have to be the right reason, like ...... Banquets, dinners, just draw everyone to the same place, and then let them drink the medicine unconsciously. ”

The president shook his head and said, "It's hard. The atmosphere inside the guild has become like this now, what kind of banquet are you talking about? Most of the mages are not people who like to entertain, they won't come. ”

β€œ...... All right. ”

"However, if I really want to say it, most of the mages get together, and there will indeed be such an occasion. The president thought for a moment, but then followed the words.

Benjamin's heart rekindled hope: "What occasion?"

The president's expression was a little complicated, and he replied, "It's Her Majesty's birthday party." ”

β€œ......”

Benjamin was speechless for a moment.

This one...... This kind of thing of feeding medicine must still avoid the eyes and ears of the queen. But at the Queen's birthday party, how did they add the medicine to everyone's drink without noticing?

The Queen's character is so cautious that she is afraid that she will not let them succeed.

Unless......

"How long is the Queen's birthday?" asked Benjamin.

"Two months later. The president replied, "Actually, it's a very big thing, and we started preparing for it a month ago. Not only parties, but also a variety of events are held throughout Regina. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people gathered. ”

Benjamin was a little surprised: "Then I should be able to blend in easily, right?"

The president said, "It's not difficult to mix in, but the diet of the party is very strict, and it is almost impossible for anyone to drug it." ”

"It doesn't matter. Benjamin smiled and said slowly, "As long as I can get in without secretly drugged, I can also make those mages drink it helplessly." ”
