Chapter 435: Strategic Shift

Troubadours and mages roamed the streets, spreading the knowledge of magic—scenes that were taking place simultaneously in more than twenty cities of Carretus that afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's a day to remember, both for Carretus and for the magical world across the continent.

Magic unveils the mystery, emerges from the fog that has lasted for thousands of years, and enters the lives of every ordinary person. Just as a person who loves hunting can become a hunter and a person who loves cooking can become a chef, a person who loves magic has the opportunity to get their hands on it.

In a way, it was a historic day.

Of course, that's all for later. For Benjamin, he is now only enlisting the support of the general public as their capital against the church.

The troubadour they had hired at their expense yesterday, and the whole project had been rehearsed this morning in order to produce a good result. At this moment, Benjamin was sitting in Glory's dining room, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and he didn't know how to react.

He wanted to get involved, but in order to be able to keep an eye on the church's actions and deliver timely news to the mages, he had to sit patiently in this place.

It's actually a relatively common phenomenon for wandering musicians to sing along the streets, and they don't break the law or anything. But their nature is different from ordinary singing after all, and if the church is determined to let the king send an army over, it is also possible to be arrested.

Their plan was able to go smoothly because the energy of the church was involved in Haridan, and the rest of the city was powerless to stop it. When the church reacted, they still had to stay out for the time being for safety.

"They moved. Suddenly, Miles pushed the door in and whispered, "The bishop is so angry that the king has issued a secret order in desperation." Amber City's defenders will soon be mobilized, ready to disperse the crowd on the grounds of disturbing the peace. But you also know that to your mages, their orders are more than just dispel. ”

Benjamin didn't panic and nodded.

He took out the sound transmission wood chip and said in a low voice: "Attention the mages of Amber City, disband the team in ten minutes, blend into the crowd, be careful to hide, and don't let the church's eyes find you." ”

The wood chips shimmered, emitting indiscernible magical fluctuations that carried Benjamin's voice out.

It takes time for a magic item to deliver a message, and it takes time for a secret order to get from Glory to Amber City. With this time calculated, he can take control of the situation and disappear without a trace before the enemy strikes.

But......

"Did they only issue a secret order to Amber City, and what about the other cities?" asked Benjamin again.

"News of Amber City came the fastest, and at the moment, the Bishop thought that the mage's singing was only happening in Amber City. Miles shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, when the news from all over the world comes in, he should be mad." ”

Benjamin smiled when he heard this.

"If he gets mad like that, we'll save a lot of trouble. ”

In this way, Benjamin stayed at Glory, relying on the news from the king's side, and saw the church's actions clearly. So, when Miles came to inform him again, he calculated the time and sent another message to the mages across the country, telling them to end their singing fifteen minutes before the secret order arrived, shake off the eyes that stared at them, and go into hiding again.

That's the power of information asymmetry. No matter how angry the church is, it can only pounce in the end.

At the same time, after all the news was spread, Benjamin himself quickly set off and left Glory.

- The singing plan is over, and he doesn't have to wait here for news, he can go back to Amber City.

In fact, he still didn't know what the reaction was in Amber City right now. And he is also looking forward to what kind of earth-shaking changes will happen to the whole Carretus after this day passes?

A few hours later.

In the evening, Benjamin returned to Amber City.

From the outside, Amber City was somewhat heavily guarded, with twice as many soldiers guarding the door, keeping an eye on the crowd coming in and out. Benjamin was slightly stunned, then suddenly. These people must have received orders to arrest troubadours and mages who were "declaring bad ideas" in the city.

But, looking at the way they looked, you knew that they didn't catch anything.

Otherwise, there would be no need to be so strict at the city gates.

With that in mind, Benjamin walked through the gate calmly. The soldiers examined him very closely, but could not see anything wrong with his blackened hair and buckteeth. So Benjamin passed through the city gates without any problems.

Amber City at dusk seemed as calm as usual, as if nothing special had happened. But when Benjamin turned on the water element perception method, and the pictures in the house appeared in front of his eyes one by one, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Sweeping down the street, there was at least one family, holding the "Declaration of Freedom and Magic" they had compiled, and the discussion was in full swing. There were even people who leaned over their desks and began to copy a new manifesto.

Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.

On the bulletin boards on the streets, announcements about the ban on the Declaration of Free Magic have been posted, and this thin pamphlet has become a banned book. But in such a situation, people's enthusiasm has not diminished by half, but they regard the declaration in their hands as a treasure.

-- This shows how successful today's event was.

For most of the people of Caritus, magic is a legendary mystery, but the mages are showing it to everyone in front of everyone. That's the best way to get the word.

As a result, the sentence "The content in the book is fake" in the announcement has become less convincing.

Benjamin didn't bask in that sense of accomplishment all the time, though.

forced the king to mobilize the local defenders, and even issued a ban, it seems that the church was really completely angered by him. For the rest of the day, those people would definitely go around looking for him like crazy. They have to be careful.

Soon, Benjamin returns to the inn and sheds his disguise. Several mages from the city also gathered there, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Teacher, these people are so enthusiastic!" Frank looked excited, "the more than a thousand copies left on our side, more than an hour, were snatched up by them. ”

Snatched them all?

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

These people have a bigger appetite than he ever imagined.

"Otherwise, I'll print some more, Amber City is like this, and other cities must be similar. There are so many people in Caritus, no matter how much India has, they will definitely be able to digest it. Wallis suggested.

Benjamin, however, shook his head.

After this battle, the church must have been eyeliner in all the printing workshops, waiting for Benjamin to send them to their door. They must not fall into the trap.

"In the meantime, we're going to stop messing around. He looked at a few mages who might have been a little overexcited, and hurriedly persuaded, "Pack up your things, and I've also informed the mages from other cities." Let's change places and hide. ”

Hearing this, Frank was stunned: "Where are we going to hide?"

Benjamin replied, "Go to the mountains to the north and find the local mages who have gone into seclusion." ”
