He said he was teaching them magic, but in the end, Benjamin taught them a little bit of the basics, threw them a few spells and a simple meditation rule, and let them practice on their own. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that Benjamin wants to be lazy, but becoming an apprentice is simple, as long as you can recite spells and use some little tricks. This process mainly depends on talent, talent is good once it is passed, talent is not good, you can only keep practicing by yourself, and others can't teach anything.

And the two Benjamins sensed were discovered because of their natural strong mental power, so after the various magic departments tried them one by one, they quickly used the fire technique and the breeze technique, which can be regarded as stepping into the temple of magic with one foot.

"Big, big...... I made it!"

In an instant, all the herders crowded into Benjamin's tent. They pointed to the faint flame in the man's hand and spoke cheerfully. Their expressions were filled with wonder and longing, as if human beings had inadvertently drilled wood for the first time.

Benjamin didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

At this moment, the fear of magic was no longer in the eyes of these people. He explained that no matter what magic was, it would not be as good as their own people suddenly using it.

As a result, he became more aware of the significance of the popularization of magical knowledge.

If the number of mages becomes more and more diverse, and the origins of the group become more and more diverse, even if the church wants to use the stigma of "demons" and "depravity" to accuse mages, no one will believe them anymore.

After all, mages are among ordinary people, everyone knows them, how can there be anything evil that is not evil?

"My lord, is they the only one who can learn magic? Among the herdsmen, the others looked at the two men with envious eyes. Someone asked.

"You can try, but this kind of thing depends on talent. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied.

It is difficult for people without talent to learn magic, and even if they follow the meditation method and keep exercising their mental power and elemental affinity, the progress will be as slow as a snail's crawl. But...... Since it is popular, it is necessary to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to try.

Try to have no less meat, just let them try it.

And just like that, the herders left with excitement. Soon, from where they were resting, there was a flurry of non-standard incantations.

Benjamin smiled helplessly.

However, at this moment, he suddenly turned his face and turned his head to look south.

“...... Coming?"

There was a faint smell of blood in the wind. In the grassland under the dark night, the knee-high grass swayed in the wind, and the waves fell back and forth. And on the border between the vast grassland and the night sky, countless small black dots suddenly appeared.

From a distance, the black dots looked like ant colonies that spread across the jungle, overwhelming the sky, as if they were going to sweep away all living creatures, and they were so dense that they were staggering.

Benjamin couldn't help frowning.

Is this what is called a beast tide?

Although he couldn't count how many demonic beasts there were, at a glance, he also had a feeling of thousands. However, if such an astonishing number had appeared periodically on the grasslands, I am afraid that there would have been no living space for herders here.

――With so many magical beasts, how could a herdsman who didn't even know magic be able to resist them?

Therefore, Benjamin felt something strange.

"Oh my God...... The beast, the beast tide is coming!"

On the other side, the herdsmen, who were still excited to learn magic, all shouted in fear at this moment. The other mages also left the tent one after another, looking at the large number of demonic beasts rushing in the distance, showing surprised expressions.

They had all fought against Warcraft, and most of them had even relied on this for food before. However, in the face of such a huge group of demonic beasts, even those mages who had been hunting demonic beasts for a long time showed stunned expressions.

This...... How many wolves are there?

"Prepare for battle!" At that moment, Benjamin immediately stood up and shouted at the mages. Then he walked up to the herdsmen and asked, "Is every beast tide of this scale?"

The herdsman shook his head with a shudder.

"In previous years, hundreds of them came together, but this year I don't know what's going on, and I can't kill them all. At that time, thousands of us gathered together to resist as in previous years, but we were scattered by the tide of beasts. We ran away as fast as we could, too...... I don't know how many people will survive. ”

Benjamin heard this, nodded, and said nothing.

So...... Is there a big year or something like that today?

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was unlucky enough. As soon as I entered Carretus, I ran into a tide of beasts in the grassland, and it happened to be a super large beast tide that had not been seen in many years - what kind of luck was this?

He can only comfort himself with "the heavens will descend on the great task".

Soon, the black dot in the distance was approaching, and Benjamin could see it clearly. The form of those wolf-type demonic beasts was not quite the same as ordinary demonic beasts, their eyes were glowing red, the fur on their bodies stood upside down like spikes, and they could smell a foul smell of carrion from afar, as if some kind of mutation had occurred.

Benjamin couldn't help but be solemn.

Under his command, the mages quickly gathered together, lined up, and chanted incantations. Dozens of mages skilled in earth magic unleashed the quagmire spell, using their camp as the center of the circle, turning the large grassland outside the circle into a mire to prevent the wolves from approaching.

At the same time, the mages who were good at the water system also stepped forward, and together with Benjamin, summoned one wall of ice after another on the periphery of this safe circle to protect them.

As for the rest of the mages, they were chanting words, and their wide robes suddenly bulged. At that moment, they summoned the wind elementals around them, ready to attack with the magic of the wind system.

In the end, those who are good at fire magic, in order to prevent the interaction between the fire and the ice wall, they can only grieve themselves, and use a simple wind blade. The only three mages who can use high-level magic are also on standby. As soon as Benjamin gives the order, they will start chanting their ultimate.

In short, in the face of such an overwhelming number of beast attacks, the mages did not become scrambling. On the contrary, under Benjamin's command, everything went in an orderly manner, and the cooperation became much more mature.

-- This is the result of Benjamin's efforts these days.

The team was reduced to more than a hundred mages, and it was not so difficult to command, so while rushing, Benjamin also put some effort into their combat coordination. Grouping, tactical, simple exercises...... Although they haven't been tested in any actual combat, the mages are experienced, and the results seem to be good for the first time when they cooperate?

At this moment, the herdsmen were protected by the ice wall and the swamp, and they couldn't help but show envious eyes when they looked at the mages who were divided into several teams to cast spells and move in an orderly manner.

The calmness and concentration of the spell casting, as if every move was full of confidence, made the herdsmen yearn for it.

Magic...... It's amazing!

Especially the two who had just become apprentices, the fear of facing the beast tide was long gone. They trembled with excitement, as if they were also looking forward to the future when they could become real mages and become as powerful as these people.

In this way, in the process, the herd also soared to the realm.

As soon as the mages were ready, under the pale moonlight, mixed with the spitting out of the wind blade fireballs, they were like an army of locusts in transit, rushing towards the people in the camp menacingly.
