"Of course. ”

When General Stewart heard this, he walked up to Benjamin on the shoulder with great enthusiasm and said with a smile: "I heard about your feat at Carretus a week ago. A magic academy, that's exciting news!"

“......”

Benjamin was really unaccustomed to this excessive "friendliness".

He remembered the last time they had met, and the general sat on his throne, proudly approving himself and inviting Benjamin to join them in a slightly threatening tone. And now, this attitude has bordered on flattery.

What caused this change?

Never mind...... Whatever it was, Benjamin didn't really want to get involved, he just had to do his own thing.

Thinking of this, he spoke: "Then in that case, we are conducting normal publicity and recruitment activities in Freedon, and you should not object to it, right?"

"That's right. "The general finally got a little subtle," that ...... What will the mages who graduate from your academy do in the future?"

Benjamin smiled: "This general can rest assured that it will not be used to threaten Freden's rule." Although we are in Carretus, our location is basically on the border, and we will not participate in any political disputes, let alone threaten Freeddon. After graduating, it is up to them to choose their own path in the future. ”

"There's no problem with that over there?"

"Nope. ”

The general turned his head, exchanged a look with the prime minister, and then smiled at Benjamin again: "In that case, what reason do we have to object? ”

Benjamin looked at them again, but didn't find anything unusual, so he nodded.

The attitude, although somewhat subtle, is ...... There's not necessarily a conspiracy, is there?

He couldn't think of any reason for the general to oppose the Academy of Magic.

"In that case, I have brought a document with me, and I have asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to look at it. Therefore, he took out the pre-prepared treaty from his bag and handed it to the other party, "If you all have no opinion on the future activities of the Academy of Magic, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess and the General to sign it." ”

The general took the treaty, looked at it for a while, and then handed it to the prime minister to look at. He turned his head and said, "Just let him see, we'll sign it if there's no problem." Master Benjamin, I have finally made a trip back to Shelly City, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has asked us to treat you well. A feast has been prepared in the palace, so let's dine with us later?"

Benjamin thought about it and didn't object.

It's also appropriate to socialize.

In this way, the prime minister carefully checked the treaty to see if there were any problems, and the general led the group of them to the dining room of the palace. Along the way, Benjamin scanned the vicinity of the palace with the water elemental sensing method, and found nothing suspicious, so he let it go.

"Master Benjamin, long time no see. On the way, Mikel leaned over and greeted Benjamin with some embarrassment.

"Long time no see. Benjamin smiled at this, and asked, "What about the knight of Reims? Didn't he go back to the palace to be his chief knight after that incident? Why didn't you see him?"

If the general wants to be close to himself, he shouldn't just come out with an acquaintance, Amikel, right?

"Lance...... He's not a knight anymore. Mikel shook his head and said, "He has spoken out against General Stewart a few times, and as a result, he has been underneath, and now he is just an ordinary knight." ”

"Help me tell him that if he doesn't want to stay in Fredon anymore, he can go to Carretus and join me. ”

"Okay......

The voice of this conversation between them was relatively low, and the general walked in front, just talking to his grandson, so he probably didn't hear it.

Seeing this, Benjamin lowered his voice again and asked, "For the sake of our former friendship, tell me, what does the general mean?"

"I ......"

Just as Mikel was about to say something, the voice behind him was interrupted by them.

"Master Benjamin, what are you talking to Mistress Mikel? I'm also interested, I wonder if you can tell me about it too?" said the Master Guild Master named Steve, smiling.

His voice was not small, and the general also heard it, turned his head and looked at Benjamin with some curiosity.

Troublesome......

Benjamin replied without changing his face, "It's nothing, I'm just asking him if there are any famous mages in Xuedi City." I'm going to have to visit it in the next few days. ”

"I'm the current president of the Mage Guild, and if you have any questions, just ask me. Master Steve smiled, "I wonder what your Excellency's purpose is to visit the mage more?"

"The Academy of Magic welcomes more mages to join. ”

"That's not necessary, right?" the other party suddenly shook his head and said, "You are the famous Master Benjamin, and you will be respected wherever you go." But our Mage Guild is also here, don't pull people directly from our guild. ”

"That's not what I meant. What's more, the Mage Guild and the Academy of Magic are not in conflict. After screening, we also welcome members of the Mage's Guild to study in our Academy. ”

"But why don't I feel good......

The smell of gunpowder began to spread in the corridors of the palace.

Stewart hurriedly walked over, patted Master Steve on the shoulder vigorously, and then smiled at Benjamin: "Master Benjamin, he didn't mean that, please don't mind." ”

Steve fell silent, and Benjamin glanced at the general and said no more.

This president is hostile to himself......

If the general is overly enthusiastic and flattering, then there is always a sour taste of unconvincing when the chairman speaks. Was it because I almost robbed him of his place?

At that moment, Benjamin suddenly felt that their enrollment in Fredon might not go so smoothly.

At the next dinner, the whole scene was in an eerie atmosphere. The general has been trying his best to get in touch with him, and he is also holding his grandson's hand to recognize Benjamin as a teacher, so hard that everyone on the side feels embarrassed. The others were silent most of the time, occasionally echoing the general, stiff.

It made Benjamin regret attending this dinner party a little.

Fortunately, after the dinner, the prime minister came over with the treaty, and the general and the princess also signed it unceremoniously. Seeing this, Benjamin put away the treaty, and the purpose of the trip was successfully achieved.

He refused the offer to stay in the palace and left the palace in a hurry.

"Master Benjamin, in order to prevent you from being tired of traveling, this is a carriage prepared for you by our Prime Minister, and it will be sent to your hotel. "On the street at the entrance of the palace, Benjamin suddenly met a man coming up with a carriage.

He raised an eyebrow.

"The Prime Minister's kindness, I naturally can't refuse. ”

He slowly walked up to the carriage, and sure enough, like last time, there was a letter on the seat of the carriage.
