Chapter 39: The Academy of Silence

Soon, Benjamin left the warehouse where they were hiding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before leaving, he had learned some information about the "Silent Academy" from the mouths of the two young mages.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom of Hori, the church established itself and began to hunt down mages, whose activities were forced to go underground. The surviving mages gathered to exchange spells and ideas with each other to help each other evade the Church, and this was the beginning of the Silent Academy.

Later, the position of the church gradually stabilized, overriding the royal power, and the search for mages was intensified. At that time, in order to survive, several of the strongest mages established the Silent Academy together, aiming to pass on magic and dream of building a new kingdom of mages.

The headquarters of the Academy of Silence is in the mountains to the west of the kingdom. The terrain is complex, sparsely populated, and there are many magical beasts, so it is difficult for the church to send people to search for it. And the mages rely on their magic to carve out their homes and seek development there.

In this way, how many years have passed, and the church also knows that there is a mage organization in the kingdom, but they have never been able to exterminate these mages, but have been caused several disturbances by the mages. At the same time, threats from abroad consumed most of the church's energy, and the Silent Academy took root, and so it grew.

When he learned this, Benjamin suddenly thought of what the elder mage said: "We can't let the two of them get in our way!"

He asked them this question, and they replied to him:

"The teacher said that this is a secret and no one can tell it. Even if the teacher can't remember it himself, we can't tell him!"

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "You forgot, right?"

The two of them nodded honestly, and then shook their heads weakly.

“......”

So, Benjamin left without hesitation.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to charge the two for some "medical bills". The two were so easy to deceive, and Benjamin barely had to say anything to take out everything he had. However, Benjamin did not have to go all of them, but took only two things from a practical point of view:

A book called "Introduction to Magic" and a stone they call "Water Elemental Crystal".

Anything else, or it's useless, or Benjamin won't need it for the time being, and for the sake of these two people being so stupid, and the older mage taking them so miserably, I'll leave it to them.

Benjamin was already satisfied with this.

It is said that good people have good rewards, and he should get something for putting up with these two fools here for so long.

Because it was still in the lower town of Havenley, Benjamin didn't have time to look at these two things. After putting away his things, he said goodbye to the two of them, and set off towards the alley where the incident occurred according to the guidance of the system.

Come to think of it, it seems that he has been letting the system show him the way, and the system has begun to complain that it is being used as navigation. However, Benjamin also accumulated a lot of experience in this regard, and dealt with the system in a few words.

Soon, he returned to the "original starting point".

According to the time provided by the system, it is already forty-five minutes after the Great Wave magic has been used. The whole alley looked like it had just been through a storm, there were several puddles on the ground, the road was muddy, and the walls on both sides of the road seemed to have been hit by something, and there were many cracks.

This scene is amazing enough. You know, like Benjamin summons a water balloon, if you don't leave it alone, it will dissipate on its own in less than a minute. But now it's been almost an hour, and the air here is still damp and moldy, which shows how powerful this magic is.

However, despite such a battle in the alleys, the main road of the outer city, a few streets away, was still bustling with people, and no one noticed it. It's been a long time, and no one from the church has come to help.

On the ground covered with mud and stagnant water, the two knights fell upside down, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Benjamin didn't have time to lament the chaos in the outer city and the weakness of the church, but ran over to check their breathing.

Alive.

After confirming this, Benjamin began to feel strange again. The paladin's physical fitness is so strong, and he is so embarrassed by the impact of the huge waves, and he has not woken up yet. Why did it take me so many minutes to regain consciousness and nothing happened?

Just because of the defensive water balloon you released?

Isn't he, he's so powerful? Or is he growing stronger again unconsciously?

Benjamin didn't have time to rejoice in this for a moment before he realized the real answer.

He took out the cross that hung on his chest, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully. I saw that the holy light that was originally faintly emitted by the cross was much dimmer than before, and Benjamin's heart ached.

He wasn't hurt in the waves, not because of the water balloon's protection, but because the thing was automatically activated.

According to the Bishop, it can withstand three magical attacks.

In other words, the cross's resistance and the defense of the water polo did not completely resist the impact of the huge wave, but made him stunned.

If you don't have these shields and shoot them directly, then your life will be gone.

Thinking of this, Benjamin had palpitations, and he no longer felt that this was a waste and a bit of a pain.

He glanced again at the place where the bear had fallen. According to his thoughts, in the face of such powerful magic, he was still a wounded child, and this little ghost probably would never survive.

However, it was empty.

Benjamin was stunned.

Hell this is, what about people?

Even if it was shot to death by water, at least there was a corpse there, and it was impossible to even shoot the corpse - this was not fire magic. Did this imp run away? How could it be?

He asked the system about it, and the system replied dryly: "I don't know." ”

...... All right.

If he didn't die, it was his luck, and Benjamin didn't bother to care about him. After all, there were two big living people waiting for him to deal with - he couldn't just leave them here and run away on his own.

After thinking about it, Benjamin crouched down beside the paladins and began to shake their shoulders, trying to wake them up.

He set his plot like this: Benjamin had just woken up from a coma, and he subconsciously went to wake up the others. He didn't know exactly what was going on, and he was in a coma all this time.

It can't be helped, if the people of the church know that he ran to perform an operation on the mage, he will die.

He absolutely, absolutely must not make the people of the church suspicious of him.

"Wake up, you're okay, wake up!"

After five minutes of perseverance, Benjamin's hands began to ache, and the two paladins finally woke up one after the other.

"I ...... How...... The Fallen...... What happened?"

"I don't know. Benjamin's acting skills continued to come online, and he said with a confused expression, "I saw a huge wave coming at me, and then ...... I don't know what happened next. By the time I woke up, it was just the three of us. ”

His performance is quite realistic, and the plot makes sense, so the other party did not suspect it.

The knight and Benjamin stood up with each other's arms. For a moment, none of the three spoke, and the two knights were silent, as if thinking about the current situation. Seeing this, Benjamin could only pretend to be confused, and then closed his mouth.

Finally, after a while, the knight in the women's costume spoke first:

"I didn't expect that there were still such powerful degenerates hiding in the royal capital, and we must report this news to the bishop. Your Excellency Reese, I will send you home first, please do not tell anyone about this, we do not want to cause panic among the nobles of the royal capital. ”
