Chapter 640: Take Control of the Scene
A copy of Jeming's heart sank.
Something went wrong......
They could never have imagined that the queen would attack the Academy of Magic with a mage at such a juncture. It's no secret that Benjamin hasn't been at the academy lately, but judging by the situation at the banquet, the queen definitely expected him to appear here.
Therefore, she will find a group of ordinary people, disguise themselves as mages and throw them here to confuse the public, and at the same time secretly send a large army to attack the magic academy located at the junction of the three kingdoms.
And she herself probably won't show up at this banquet, maybe now, she has personally led the troops to surround the town of Akademi, directing the soldiers to slaughter in the town.
Possible visions came to Benjamin's mind, and he clenched his fists hard.
At that moment, he wanted to rush out of the door and rush back as fast as he could. But in the end, he tried to calm himself down. The distance between the two places is long, and when he arrives at the place, I am afraid it will be the next day, and it is likely that it will not change anything.
And...... The queen must also want to waste her time on the go, and end up taking care of one or the other.
He couldn't just leave.
One can only count on the remaining mages in the academy, hoping that they can withstand Ikor's secret attack, or last as long as possible......
Taking a deep breath, Benjamin struggled to suppress the anxiety in his heart and returned his gaze to the immediate eye. He couldn't rush back, the queen had probably left Regina, and Ikor was leaderless. Isn't this a great opportunity for them?
They had to keep the situation under control, and if the queen took over the academy and negotiated with him, he would have some leverage in his hands.
And in front of ...... This prime minister, who is at a stalemate with the president of the Mage Guild, should be a pawn left by the queen to maintain the situation. Benjamin had to get rid of him quickly.
So, after a brief silence, he suddenly ran out of the corner of the hall.
"Something happened! Her Majesty has been kidnapped by the Church!" saw his face full of panic, and as soon as he rushed out, he stumbled and shouted, "Lord, the Prime Minister has colluded with the Church to want us to destroy the country!"
Because he was deep enough into the play and shouted extremely loudly, the eyes of all the mages present were attracted by Benjamin. They looked surprised and suspicious, turned their heads, and looked at the prime minister at the door.
"Really, really......"
The president also looked surprised. He glanced back at Benjamin and immediately cooperated with him.
"Ethan-sama, I didn't expect you to actually do this!" he took a few steps back, looking distressed, "It's not useless that you said to me in private that the 'church' was just a joke, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"
"No...... Wait, who is this man? He's talking nonsense, Her Majesty is ......."
Benjamin immediately interrupted him: "If Your Majesty is really good, why hasn't she come out to see us? The people in the square outside are the same, they have been waiting for Your Majesty to appear for almost an hour!"
"Your Majesty has her arrangement......"
This time, it was the president's turn to interrupt him: "What? Where is Your Majesty? You...... You really kidnapped Your Majesty?!"
The two of them took turns to speak, completely controlling the scene in their hands, and guiding the eyes of the surrounding mages to become more and more puzzled. The prime minister couldn't argue at all, so his face sank, and his hands suddenly clenched the crutches.
And the chatter of the other mages around him also brought him great pressure.
"What's going on? Her Majesty really hasn't shown up all this time, where has Her Majesty gone, we ...... What should we do?"
From a standpoint, Benjamin and the President are both mages, so it is naturally easier to win the trust of other mages. And the queen is unlikely to appear at this time, so the prime minister looks a little pale no matter how he argues.
Not to mention, he was just protecting the group of ordinary people disguised as mages. This behavior was already a bit strange, and the prime minister didn't explain it clearly, but now the two are added together, and it looks even more suspicious.
"Calm down, Fellow Mages! Her Majesty is not in any danger! This man is Master Benjamin, and he is here to cause trouble! Don't believe him!"
In the midst of the slightly chaotic scene, the prime minister finally found an opportunity to shout.
"What are you talking nonsense? My name is John, and I want to make sense of it!" replied Benjamin at once.
His disguise today can be said to be quite perfect, and the prime minister can reveal his identity, which is probably a hint from the queen. Unfortunately, at this moment, the Prime Minister's words are no longer convincing.
"Where the hell was Your Majesty kidnapped by you?" asked the other mages present.
They were all very anxious. They also thought that the potion was a life link, and if the queen was really kidnapped by the church, the church would only need to move a finger, and the entire Ikor's mage guild would be destroyed in an instant.
- They're all going to die.
Therefore, under the threat of death, these mages naturally became less calm.
Benjamin also realized that there was no diehard queen among the mages present, so no one knew the true situation, so they could only follow the guidance of Benjamin and the president. And the Queen's die-hard mage...... Naturally, she was all taken to the Academy of Magic, so how could she be here?
- The queen's sneak attack this time is indeed a bit of a big gamble.
Of course, the group of mages brought by the president also contributed to the troubles and played a big role.
In the blink of an eye, the whole hall became noisy. The servants didn't know what was happening, so they could only retreat in a panic. The guards in the corridor didn't know what to do, and even the entire palace seemed to have a tendency to get out of control.
The sneak attack on the academy was obviously secretive, so even the servants here didn't know where the queen had gone. In addition, it seems that there are a few guards who are in the know and want to come over to help the prime minister speak, but they are also considered to be the prime minister's comrades, and they are surrounded by anxious mages along with the prime minister.
And every time the prime minister wanted to tell everyone about the sneak attack by the queen's troops, Benjamin immediately opened his mouth and interrupted him with a louder voice, so that the group of mages on the scene were further misled.
"Hand over Her Majesty quickly! Otherwise, you will be buried with you!"
"No, Your Majesty, she ......"
"Don't quibble anymore! Are you worthy of Her Majesty's weight for so many years? Are you worthy of the thousands of people of Ikor? Don't think that if you are a prime minister, no one will dare to touch you!"
Soon, an impulsive mage recited a spell, first a binding spell, which fixed the head with a few guards who knew about it, and then all sorts of torturous magic followed.
Wind, Ice Blade, High Temperature......
And in the process, the prime minister is simply powerless to resist.
- This group of mages drank the queen's potion, and the spiritual hints also came from the queen, but they never cared about the prime minister or not.
After his physical torture, he began to speak with a little difficulty, and it became even more difficult to explain everything.
In the midst of the confusion, Benjamin exchanged a look with the president.
"It's time for the potion. Benjamin said this with his lips, and the president immediately understood what he meant.
Therefore, as the only person present who could control the scene, the chairman suddenly clapped his hands, used the blessing of magic, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone calm down. If we are still alive, it means that Your Majesty is fine, so you don't need to panic!"
"What are we going to do, President?" immediately asked.
After all, he is the president of the Mage Guild, and he is a powerful old mage, even if some of them are secretly set up by the queen, and at the moment, they are also very powerful in their identity.
The queen is not here, and the mage here can only look out for him.
The president nodded, and continued, "We must bring Your Majesty back! But before that, if the Church is poisoned, I am afraid that we will have to die with Your Majesty." Therefore, we must first remove the potion from its effect!"
