Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

How could the church come up with such a solution?

The proclamation of free magic had apparently been opened up, and it was mentioned that the troubadour's ballad had spread widely throughout the Calites. Magic is mysterious and powerful, and everyone aspires to it, which is the basis for the widespread circulation of the Free Magic Declaration.

But...... The Church exploited the majesty of the ruling class and the fear of the common people to suppress their development.

Ordinary people are afraid of things, as long as the sword doesn't fall on their heads, other people's things can be ignored. The church only focuses on the type, so it doesn't cause a backlash, and at the same time creates a sense of "you could be next" that scares the hearts of those who hide the books.

In this way, the momentum of learning magic for the whole people was curbed.

At the same time, Benjamin even saw the letter saying that the decree encouraged people to report each other, and if anyone found out that his neighbor had hidden a book, he could be rewarded with fifty gold coins, which was quite a tempting sum for the average family.

As a result, the spontaneous circulation of the "Declaration of Free Magic" among the people also met with considerable resistance.

Benjamin couldn't help but sigh, the church is an all-round blockade! If there is another system of continuous sitting, where neighbors supervise each other, and a family collection is implicated, then it is estimated that even the last bit of magic will be gone.

Fortunately, the church should not dare to do so.

In this way, Benjamin read the secret letter sent by the king and fell into deep thought.

Although the hand of the church is effective, it ...... It's not without flaws.

It's time for them to fight back.

Thinking so, after thinking for a moment, Benjamin picked up the sounding wood chip and issued a new round of orders to the mages across the country.

"The church's manpower has increased again, so be careful and don't look for new mages for the time being. In addition, you pretend to be ordinary people and start spreading rumors among the people, saying that the church has taken control of Caritus, and the king has become their puppet, and the more demonized the better, over. ”

In this way, the faint fluctuation of magic power spread, carrying Benjamin's voice to all parts of the country.

Benjamin nodded firmly.

True, the state of affairs has come to this point. They finally want to reveal the true face of the Church and tell the world that these decrees banning the Declaration of Free Magic were not the King's intentions at all!

This is also a direct confrontation with the church.

If the rumors can be formed and there is some proof, there will be various rebels like Freedon in Carretus. When the time comes, the whole of Carretus will stand in opposition to the Church.

Of course, all of this is premised on - they have to convince everybody of that.

It's not an easy thing to do.

Spreading the word is only the first step, and they have to plan their next actions.

In this way, after Benjamin and the others returned to the town, they barely rested, and quickly began the next action. As for Benjamin himself, he went out the door and began to win over some allies of local forces for them.

Several times he came to a wealthy merchant in Amber City.

"Master Benjamin, I admire you very much. But...... Forgive my faux pas, is it true that you say that the Church has secretly controlled His Majesty?"

Benjamin smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Hal, that's exactly what happened, and the situation of Carretus is no longer optimistic. ”

The rich merchant known as Mr. Hal was a middle-aged man, and unlike ordinary businessmen, he looked dark and thin, and his eyes even showed a sense of innocence. However, judging from what Benjamin heard, this is one of the richest businessmen, and the coal industry is all over the country and very influential.

The church hasn't started wooing these people yet, so it's safe for Benjamin to visit them.

After listening to Benjamin's words, Hal laughed dryly and said, "Yes, but I'm just a businessman, and it doesn't seem to matter to me whether the church is on stage or not?"

Benjamin asked rhetorically, "If it really doesn't matter, why do you want to keep the Declaration of Freedom and Magic, and let your youngest son learn it?"

In fact, he was able to contact the rich merchant in front of him because the other party showed great interest in magic.

"Needless to say, because when you learn magic, you have power. Hal laughed a few times and replied without hesitation, "As for the church...... I've heard that there are actually quite a few nobles in the Kingdom of Hori who raise mages privately. I can only hide it well enough, and whether the church comes to power or not will not have any impact on me. ”

Hearing this assertion that it was none of his business, Benjamin was speechless for a while.

The other party's intentions are obvious, he wants to have the power of magic, but he doesn't want to take the corresponding responsibility, and he may even hope that the church will really come to power and ban all the civilian mages, and then the magic power he has will become precious.

It is worthy of doing business, and the idea of monopoly must be used everywhere.

It's a pity, how can there be so many good things in this world that stand by and watch?

Benjamin smiled, but his tone was extremely tough: "Since you know something about the Kingdom of Hori, you should have heard that the Fur family was forced to kill all the mages they raised, and the church also used magic to forcibly monitor the nobles. You don't really think that if the church comes to power, it will turn a blind eye to your son's learning of magic, do you?"

Hal was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Master Benjamin, I thought you had come to visit today to instruct my son on his magic studies. ”

Change the subject......

Benjamin also felt the resistance from here. It is really not so easy to get the support of such a wealthy businessman.

He can take his time, though.

"That's natural, just a little more gossip with you. Therefore, instead of shaking his face, he followed the other man's words and said, "What is his problem with magic?" ”

In fact, the other party collected the "Manifesto of Freedom of Magic" and asked his son to learn the above content, which is the best entry point for Benjamin.

The ferocity of the church, these people have not really seen. When his son was persecuted by the church, Benjamin didn't believe that he could still be as concerned as he was now.

And...... In fact, Benjamin's purpose has been achieved.

The Church has taken control of the king - the news that his men are spreading carefully throughout the country, but because of their limited connections and the close attention of the Church, their influence is still very limited.

And today, he told the news to one of the richest businessmen in the country, which is equivalent to a big step forward in the progress bar of spreading the news.

Although the other party showed a very negative attitude, although the other party did not have any inclination to support them...... However, when the other party heard the news, it was enough.

A lie will come true if it is repeated a thousand times, not to mention ...... What they spread is the truth!
