Chapter 256: Mage Gathering

Four days later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hello Excellency, please show us your invitation. ”

"Here, this is it. It was rare for Benjamin to be so energetic, with a suit and leather shoes, and his hair neatly combed, as if he had stepped back in time, back to his former aristocratic life, to attend that royal reception.

With a smile on his face, he took the invitation from his breast pocket and handed it to the doorman.

After settling into their new home, they finally didn't have any more accidents. Everyone stumbles here, and finally has a stable environment, so it is natural to settle down and meditate and develop steadily. Coupled with the fact that a certain sect was attacked by gangsters, Riley City was quite uneasy, and it was even more difficult for them to wade into this troubled water.

As a result, they barely went out for the next few days

In this way, the four days passed in a flash, and the day of the rally, written on Benjamin's invitation, finally came on this day.

After all, it was an important occasion to meet other mages, and he couldn't go to the opportunity with a chicken coop and rags. Therefore, taking out the memory of being a nobleman, he cleaned it up, and under the surprised gaze of several female mages in the team, "So you look like this, teacher", he took a step and walked out of the door.

Seeing this, Benjamin could only smile helplessly and wave goodbye to them.

The location of the meeting, the invitation card made it clear - a private villa on the outskirts of Riley should belong to the famous Vinci mage. And as Benjamin approached there, he met a number of mages, who were in the same direction as him, apparently also going to the assembly.

Benjamin couldn't help but sigh, this Vinci mage has a lot of influence.

He also felt that a few mages who seemed to be more powerful tried to go up and talk, but these people all looked like they were ignoring them, and they were not yet enthusiastic about 10086. Except for a few painless "hello", "um", "oh" and "hehe", Benjamin didn't catch anything.

Benjamin was also a bit frustrated.

Master Freden's habit of being alone seems to be a bit difficult to deal with. However, Benjamin also thinks that it may be because everyone is in a hurry to go to the rally, so he is not willing to talk more on the road and waste time.

When we enter the meeting place, the situation will improve. Otherwise, if everyone doesn't speak, then there is no point in holding this rally.

In the end, Benjamin simply gave up walking, rose into the air, and flew all the way, arriving at the venue of the rally more than ten minutes ahead of schedule.

Looking at the villa in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh, this mage who held the assembly was really rich. Although the area of the villa is not larger than theirs, looking at the decoration of the villa, the flowers and pools on both sides, and the floor as clean as new, the price here is definitely not affordable for the average wealthy person.

With some anticipation, he landed at the door of the villa, and under the polite questioning of the doorman, he handed the invitation to the doorman, and there was the scene just now.

The doorman took the invitation, looked at it twice, smiled and returned it to Benjamin, stepped aside, and bowed deeply.

"Please come in, Master Master, thank you very much for coming to this assembly. ”

Benjamin nodded and walked inside.

Led by the servant in the hallway, Benjamin came to a golden hall. Illuminated by several crystal lamps, he could see that the hall was set up quite similarly to the previous Haven Dinner party, with dozens of round tables scattered here, where servants were running around, busily bringing dishes to the table for the guests to taste.

Although it is not yet the official start time, there are some mages in the hall who have arrived early. Most of them stood in the corners, and there was no sound of chatting, but they poked out different eyes, scanning the entire hall back and forth.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't go up to talk, so he could only go to the corner of the hall, take a cup of drink, and wait patiently for the assembly to begin.

As time went on, more and more mages came to the assembly. After roughly counting, Benjamin found that the number of mages here was already in the hundreds, and if he waited any longer, hundreds of people could possibly.

The number of people increased, and the whole field finally warmed up.

Listening to the conversation between the mages around him, Benjamin gradually learned more about the circle of mages Freden. Like "mage Freemasonry", which is the focus here, Benjamin overhears it mentioned by several different people.

Judging by their words, this is a fairly influential organization, with a presence in some large cities, and has helped many mages to further their paths. What's more, the Mage Freemasons had no connection to Freden's official government, and never asked the Mages to do anything.

It sounds like an organization dedicated to the welfare of mages.

Benjamin wasn't sure, but he made a note of what the people around him had saidβ€”the stronghold of the Mage Freemasons in Riley, and was ready to go over and have a look.

In addition to the mage Freemasonry, the mages discussed magic, alchemy, and the organizers of praise gatherings. Benjamin felt that he should not hear any new secrets, so he found a group of outgoing-looking mages and approached him with a friendly smile.

"Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I am a new mage who has only recently arrived. ”

When the mages heard this, they also turned their heads, smiled and nodded. The one at the head opened his mouth and said, "Master Benjamin, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Jack, and we are the mages of the 'Viper' mercenary group. ”

A mage of a mercenary group?

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

However, it seems that there are many such things for mages to work for mercenary groups, or simply form their own regiments. After all, in terms of combat effectiveness, mages still have a unique advantage, and it is not difficult to hunt demonic beasts.

After thinking about it, he simply took this as a talking point, and asked with a curious expression, "Are you a mercenary group formed by yourself?" I think that many mages are reluctant to fight with ordinary mercenaries. ”

Jack and his companions looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Sort of, all of us are mages in our group, and some mages will join other mercenary groups for money." But at the end of the day, only mages can understand mages, and without equipment and potions, those simple-minded mercenaries are just a bunch of ordinary people, aren't they?"

Although he couldn't understand this sense of superiority, Benjamin had no choice but to nod his head against his will.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of forming a mercenary group?" he asked casually.

"For the money. Jack smiled and replied as a matter of course, "New spells, better meditation rules, elemental crystallization...... Mage cultivation is still relatively expensive. Besides, the Mercenary Association is always looking forward to more mages joining us, and we are welcome. When a mage becomes a mercenary, they will also provide you with a lot of benefits, and there are also various benefits when carrying out tasks. In short, the more powerful battle mages I know will basically add a mercenary group. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

Since there are many benefits, then ...... Or are they going to build one too?

After buying the potion formula, their economy was indeed a lot tighter, and they could only wait for a new batch of potions to come out before they could make money, but that was a bit too slow.

Besides, most mages are about to meditate to a new level. Spells for mid-level magic, which can be something that costs more than an introductory potion recipe.

In this way, the more Benjamin thought about it, the more he felt that the idea was not bad.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask a few more questions about the mercenary group, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. The mages turned their heads together, accompanied by all sorts of whispers, expressions of anticipation or joy.

"It's great that Master Finch is finally here. ”
