Benjamin's meeting with the king did not last long. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter about half an hour, they left the restaurant one after another.

They made a secret alliance.

"I can help you get rid of the church, but you have to pay in return. I'm going to build a real school of magic, land, manpower, money...... These things must be provided by you. ”

When Benjamin first made this request, the king was a little stunned. But he also knew that he had no other choice. Benjamin had no intention of invading the regime, and it was better to agree to this condition than to be encroached upon by the church step by step.

Therefore, the king nodded in agreement and did not even bargain.

After this, he also began to provide Benjamin with information about the church. It was at this point that Benjamin learned how far the church had come.

They have set up secret strongholds in various places to facilitate monitoring of the mage's movements, and there are so many eyeliners that they are quite terrifying, as long as there are mage-like characters around, they will immediately start investigating, followed by the assassination plan.

However, this is all something that the church has established in previous years. At present, the mage has gradually withdrawn from the public eye, and the mind of the church has gradually shifted from above.

So where are their minds?

On top of the infiltration of Carretus.

Secret churches were built in various places, and talents were selected from the local area to train qualified priests. At the same time, they are supporting more and more believers into positions of political power and strengthening their influence.

Unlike Freden's plan, they were patient here and everything was going on in an orderly manner. Without adequate preparation, they never surface easily.

As for the enlargement of believers...... They had been secretly preaching, and the king was not aware of their progress. Myers came up with an estimate of the number - there are at least 6,000 hidden believers in the country.

Hearing this number, Benjamin felt another surge of pressure rush over him.

Six thousand people are really nothing compared to the population of the entire Caritus, that is, the concept of a few thousandths, but ...... This kind of thing is not the same as fighting, it does not rely on fists, but on the interpersonal influence that everyone has. For example, if a celebrity has hundreds of thousands of followers, he can ignore the wishes of others and hurt the eyes of the audience on TV every day.

Therefore, this is also a group of beings that cannot be ignored.

After Benjamin left the restaurant, he headed out of the city, ready to rush back to Amber City as fast as he could, informing his mages.

- Knowing about the situation with Carretus, they can finally get started!

"What are you going to do?" Miles asked suddenly, following him.

When Benjamin heard this, he turned around and looked helpless: "When did you follow?"

"The king asked me to help you. Miles shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to destroy a church stronghold or assassinate someone, I think I'm useful." ”

Benjamin stopped, squinting at the other.

"What is your purpose?" he said slowly, "and judging by the appearance of the king, it should not be possible to attract any followers." Why the hell are you doing things for the king?"

Even if the king does, Benjamin is still willing to give a trust after this meeting. As for the guy in front of him...... He really couldn't figure out what the other party wanted.

No one does something for no reason.

"I'm just on a mission. Miles replied, "The king has done me a great favor once, so I promised him three things for him." ”

"That's all?"

Miles nodded, "That's all." ”

Benjamin still felt a little strange. With such a special physique, there must be some story behind it, but ...... The other party said so, and he didn't want to ask again.

In any case, if Miles could help, the church would be much easier to fight.

"Can you just kill the Bishop in charge of Caritus' side?" asked Benjamin.

"I tried it once. Miles shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "There are too many ghost crosses, and the shields are layer upon layer." I can cut through a dozen layers of shield with a single sword, but hundreds of layers...... Before I could finish the cut, the paladin almost surrounded me. ”

"Aren't you very skilled, what are you afraid of paladins?" said Benjamin, a little gloating.

"What's the use of being powerful? Dozens of paladins in armor squeezed up, there was no room to dodge at all, and no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't show their skills. Miles spread his hands and continued, "At that time, I had a hard time escaping. After that, the bishop apparently became more vigilant and could not get close. So, you can't expect me to just take him out. ”

Benjamin shook his head.

Never mind...... He didn't expect anyone else, so he just asked casually.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Seeing that Benjamin didn't say anything, Miles had to speak again.

"Why should I tell you?" Benjamin asked rhetorically, "if you are really idle, go and attack the secret strongholds of the Church in every city, kill as many as you can, and lighten my burden." ”

“......”

Miles was speechless.

"Don't you want to help? You shouldn't be able to help with my plan. It's useless for you to follow me, you might as well kill more priests. Benjamin continued.

“...... Are you serious?"

Benjamin nodded and said with a serious face, "Yes." The church has a bit of an eye on Carretus, and if we want to take action, we had to have something to divert their attention. A large-scale assassination, this is a plan tailor-made for you!"

“...... All right. ”

Miles couldn't argue.

Although this sounds quite reasonable, I don't know why, he still has the feeling of being ridiculed and then sent away by a random task.

"Since you don't object, let's act quickly. Benjamin smiled kindly and waved at Miles, "Time waits for no one, I have something to do, so I won't delay your time." See you next time you get in touch, come on, and good luck!"

“......”

In this way, Miles was successfully sent away by Benjamin.

"Whew...... The mysterious guy is finally gone. Smiling as he watched the other man leave, Benjamin shook his head, turned around, and continued to walk briskly out of the city.

Although those words were meant to dismiss the other party, he was not lying. In his next plans, there really isn't much to use Miles.

He intends to revise another version of the Declaration of Free Magic.

At this moment, Carretus is not an existence that can be resolved by force. What's more, teaching will be smarter, hiding in the shadows, and trying to conflict may not be able to conflict. Therefore, Benjamin still has to start with ideological and public opinion work.

However, this time, the group for which the Declaration of Free Magic is directed will no longer be mages.

The mages of Carretus have lost their fighting spirit and are hiding in the mountains, and Benjamin will have a hard time finding them. Without the support of this great force, Benjamin had no choice but to enlist the support of other groups.

So, like what he did in the steppes, he wanted to spread the knowledge of magic among the common people.

Benjamin's idea was very simple, if he couldn't find the original mage of Caritus, then he would train another batch himself.

At this moment, the idea that magic is a demonic power has not yet caught on with them, and with their efforts to promote it, ordinary people will at least become curious about magic and try it. And with this attempt, isn't a new mage born?

When magic became popular among the people, everyone had the opportunity to learn magic. Can the church still block this opening?
