Benjamin's doubts didn't last long.

After the order was given, the news network of the Academy's dark department was even more reliable than he imagined, and within a few days, they found the group of mages from the Hori Kingdom.

"Are they in Freden?" put down the report in his hand, Benjamin was still a little puzzled.

The mercenary below nodded and said, "Yes." According to the intelligence, they entered Freden about a month ago, and also formed a mercenary mage regiment of their own, and the registered name of the head of the group is Elizabeth. ”

“...... All right. ”

It's unclear why they did this, but it's clear that the mages don't seem to be willing to accept Benjamin's kindness anymore - they don't want to defect to the academy, but want to survive in the complex mage world on their own.

Benjamin also shrugged helplessly.

Since others don't appreciate it, there is no need for him to worry about it anymore. Therefore, he wrote a letter in which he wrote down his observations of the state of the Wood family and sent it to Elizabeth, which was the fulfillment of his promise at that time.

He then continued to devote himself to the reconstruction of Akademi and the preparation for the start of the new semester.

“...... Gen Benjamin, you are such an amazing person. ”

As time passed, the townspeople who had fled returned to the area. They couldn't help but sigh as they watched the streets gradually return to their original state, and watched Benjamin use his magic to smooth out the wounds in the town little by little.

"It's actually very easy, I don't have to do anything at all, they just build themselves. Benjamin smiled and pointed to the wood and stones that were flying in the air.

This town is all his territory, and he will certainly do his best to maintain the place.

"When Akademi is rebuilt, can you write to more of the people who fled to take refuge and let them come back and continue to live?" he asked, using his magic to move bricks, to the crowd of onlookers.

"Of course!" replied the young man, with some agitation, "that you have set the most lenient tax rate in the world. We...... We all loved it and hope to stay in this place forever. ”

Benjamin heard this and nodded.

"Then you have to run this town well. ”

In fact, it is only a small town that has existed for less than a year, but it has a sense of cohesion and "home" in people's hearts - this is by no means an easy task. Although Benjamin built it only to support the college, by this point, the town had developed into a place of its own.

It has also become an important and worthy of guarding.

Three days later, the town was rebuilt and the streets were populated. Many students also returned to the college at the end of the holidays, and the place finally became lively again.

Floating above the Academy, Benjamin looked down on the town below, and could no longer see that it had been the victim of a terrible attack only two months earlier.

Although it cost a lot of money to rebuild, he still felt very relieved when he looked at the scene in front of him.

Everything is on track at the moment. The results of the first semester of the college have been very good, and the next semester will definitely make these students even better. On Ikor's side, things are almost settled.

The first four years were given to Carretus, and thereafter the system continued. The Council of Adjudication had also been established, and in two days, Benjamin and dozens of other Academy mages would attend the first meeting as representatives.

Of course, it was just a short meeting and wouldn't take up too much of the member mage's time.

In addition to the one hundred and fifty decision-making mages in the ruling council, there is also a sophisticated supervisory body. They came from Fredon's political circles, and everyone's eyes widened as they watched Carretus' every move as he took over Ikor. As soon as they notice anything wrong, they will take the complaint to the member mage.

And when Freden came to power, the officials of these oversight bodies would be replaced by Carretus' men.

In such a mutually restrictive situation, it is difficult for even the most shrewd guy to find loopholes. The superior can only govern this common land in peace and stability, and cannot make any small moves.

But...... In fact, Ikor and Carretus don't have any need to hurt each other right now.

The alliance forged to govern Ikor has really brought the two countries closer. Benjamin had already known many wealthy merchants from Caritus, and he took advantage of this opportunity to facilitate the simplification of trade checkpoints and the reduction of taxes between the two countries. Now that the businessmen of the two countries are doing business, they are getting closer and closer economically, their interests are tied together, and it is naturally difficult to oppose each other politically.

Otherwise, a treaty alone and a so-called alliance would be just a weak diplomatic rhetoric.

Benjamin was naturally very pleased with this state of affairs. There is really no need for infighting, the whole world is united against the church, which is the right way at this moment!

Speaking of the church, Benjamin had already smuggled the members of the Academy's shadows into the kingdom of Hori. Intelligence organizations located in the hinterland of the enemy are also being established little by little.

It's just that because the internal management of the Hori Kingdom is relatively strict, they don't even enter the door of the big city, and can only wander around some marginal towns. So they haven't found out what's going on inside the church.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, so Benjamin can only relax his mind.

There was no need for him to be so nervous, maybe at this moment, the church itself was already in a state of infighting, and he didn't have time to deal with them. Any organization has to go through a process of prosperity and decline, isn't it normal for the church to go downhill after it has existed for so long?

So, he took the twenty-odd academy mages to the adjudication council with peace of mind, and spoke as a representative at the council with peace of mind. Although it was the first time to be held, everyone's expressions were a little dazed, but the president presided over it very well, and he also explained the focus of the work for the next four years quite clearly.

"In normal times, we can be scattered in various countries and do whatever we want. The subordinate monitoring teams will keep a detailed record of what the rulers have done in each quarter, and as long as there is no emergency, we will meet once a quarter to review all the policies of the quarter. So, our task is actually not too heavy. ”

When the mages in the council heard this, they couldn't help but show a relieved expression.

"Your Majesty thought that the task of adjudicating the council would be very onerous, and he went out of his way to pay us a very large amount. One of the mages smiled and said in a joking tone, "Don't spread the word about this, or we won't have that much gold to take." ”

The others smiled.

At least on the bright side, the atmosphere of the meeting was quite harmonious. In addition to the discussions, they even exchanged magic tips with each other, and countless mages came to meet Benjamin.

"What a surprising age, Dean Benjamin, your talent surpasses that of anyone I've ever met. ”

"Dean Benjamin, do you have enough people in your college, and don't forget to write to me when you plan to recruit a new group of teachers. ”

"I've been to your public lectures before, and although they are all about entry-level content, the ideas are very fresh and interesting. When are you going to open the academy again?"

Surrounded by various mages who were more than twice his age, Benjamin couldn't resist asking this and that. However, this kind of business blowing scene, everyone is not so sincere, so he said haha and passed.

Soon, he broke out of the crowd and walked to the balcony to catch his breath by himself.

"Why? Didn't you make up this council? Why can't you even handle it yourself?" Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind, completely disrupting his plan to calm down.

Benjamin was a little surprised and turned around.

I saw a figure hanging upside down above the balcony, smiling and waving at him.

“...... Miles?"
