After handing over work to the Prime Minister in Shelly City, Benjamin left Fredon.

The treaty had been signed and the deal had been completed, so he didn't have to do the rest. Publicity, Admissions ...... He had hired special personnel to take care of the daily work of the Academy of Magic on Freden's side, so that he didn't have to bother with it.

Like Benjamin, it's better to go out of the way, and the people behind just follow his path.

Fredden's path has been opened by him, and the next thing is naturally Ikol.

The location of the Academy of Magic was chosen near the national border in order to achieve the purpose of communicating the magic circles of the Three Kingdoms. And since it is necessary to form an organization with international influence, Ikor as the country with the most mages, naturally cannot be missed.

But...... Benjamin also knew that the difficulty of opening this road was as difficult as cultivating a fertile field in the desert, which was almost impossible.

The queen and their feud are too big, and it is absolutely impossible to reach an agreement like Freedon on the surface. If Benjamin dared to show up openly in Ikor and not come to thousands of mages to surround and suppress him, it would be regarded as the queen's mercy and face.

However, he also knew that there were still some wild mages among Ikor who had not joined the Mage Guild, who were squeezed out by most of the mages and struggled to support themselves in some remote corners. When Benjamin first entered Ikole, he had been in contact with several.

- These people are definitely the best to woo.

Therefore, he decided to take the risk and go to Ikor anyway. The border between the two countries is not so tightly guarded, and he is alone, so he can completely mix in and accomplish his purpose without the queen realizing anything.

Not to mention...... He's not without acquaintances over there.

"Hello, please help me get this letter to Regina to a guy nicknamed 'Silver Fox'. He's your registered mercenary, and he'll be able to find him. ”

After the Mercenary Guild issued such a commission, Benjamin flew to Ikor.

In the territory of Carretus, the mercenary association is really inactive, except for high-end mercenaries like Miles, even powerful mercenary groups are rare. This is also the reason why they fought with the church before, but the mercenary association has never existed.

- not only because they interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, but also because the more powerful mercenaries like to run to Fredon and Ikor, and there is no way to stay in Carretus.

Of course, the development of the Academy of Magic, the Mercenary Association is also a very important organization. Benjamin had contacted them before, and they said that the academy had not yet been built, and the first batch of students did not know anything. It takes a period of observation and evaluation before they are willing to establish a long-term friendly relationship with Benjamin.

Therefore, Benjamin could only put them aside and try to recruit as many mages as he could.

It took about two days, holding up a blister to the bottom, and he used the river to smuggle across the border. After a long time, he came to Ikor again, and everything he could see in front of him still hadn't changed much.

The Mage's Guild is still active everywhere, and portraits of Benjamin and his men are still hanging on wanted notices everywhere.

After disguise, he quickly flew to the capital city of Regina.

Judging from the news he heard all the way, the queen has been very peaceful lately. Since the withdrawal of the army, she has been in the palace every day, handling government affairs as usual, but her attitude has become much more negative than before. There is news that the queen is just like every day during the menstrual period, and the officials are afraid to say a word.

Benjamin guessed that it had something to do with the ritual he had interrupted.

But...... In any case, he and the queen have become mortal enemies. He didn't come to Regina this time to see the queen, so don't worry about it so much.

The inspection on the city gate was not very strict, and when he found an opportunity, Benjamin sneaked into the city, and finally contacted the boss of the "Silver Fox" who was still active here through the Mercenary Association.

"When I saw that wanted post, I thought you would never go back to Ikor in your life. ”

In the room of the hotel, the old man pushed open the door, looked at Benjamin, and couldn't help shaking his head, and said with some emotion.

"There is no one who will never come back. Benjamin smiled and said, "If I told you that one day I might return to the kingdom of Hori, wouldn't you believe it even more?"

“...... You're amazing. ”

The old man gave a thumbs up with a blank face.

Immediately afterwards, after a while, Benjamin got back to the point, and said, "Don't talk about this." Have you investigated everything I told you in my letter?"

"You're here so fast, where do I have the time to investigate?" said the old man, "but as for the mages in the vicinity, I can tell you responsibly that there are no free mages near Regina. This is the absolute territory of the Mage Guild, and if you want to find a free mage, you still have to go to a remote town. ”

"Not one?" asked Benjamin rhetorically.

It is said that the big hidden in the city, in the city of Regina, there should be some powerful free mages, right?

"I can help you continue investigating, but I advise you not to get your hopes up. The old man said undeniably, "There really is no soil here where a free mage can develop. The Mage Guild is even more domineering than you think. ”

“...... Then try to find it. ”

Benjamin also felt a little helpless, so he could only reply.

It's better to be able to touch some of the wild mage's exclusive circles, otherwise, it will be so scattered all over the place, and it will be very inconvenient for him to connect with them.

What a hassle......

"By the way, and the president of the Mage Guild, did you help me contact him?"

After thinking about it, he asked again.

- Ikor's visit this time is not only to recruit local free mages, but also to meet with the president here.

If it weren't for the president's timely report, they wouldn't have known that the queen was faking her death, let alone the treasure under Glori. Don't forget, the president specially sent his own students to rush to Glory to deliver the news - doesn't this show the sincerity of the other party?

Whether it's thanking him or discussing the next steps with him, it's important for Benjamin to meet with the president.

"It's not easy, but I'll find a way to do it for you. The old man lifted his chin proudly and said, "Tomorrow night he will come to see you at the inn." The entire transmission of information is strictly confidential, and no one will know about your meeting. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded with a little lighter pressure.

If the acquaintance of the "Silver Fox" boss can provide him with some help, then the president of the Mage Guild can provide them with much more things. Even if the other party's president is uncomfortable, he is still a president!

He is definitely the one who knows the most about Ikor's mage world.

"Also, here's the dispatch table for the mage team that I put together. The old man took out another small notebook, handed it to Benjamin, and explained, "During this time, where most of the Mage's Guild will be sent, there is a record of it. As long as you avoid those places, even if it's a little high-profile, you shouldn't be discovered by the Mage Guild. ”

Benjamin took the notebook with a somewhat surprised look.

"I thought you couldn't be so detailed. ”

"What kind of stupidity is this. The old man said expressionlessly, "In addition to fighting, I am the best mercenary in all of Regina, and most of the difficult intelligence tasks are solved by me." Without the suppression of the church, I am much more famous here than I was when I was in Haven Wright. ”

“...... Awesome, amazing. ”

Benjamin really admires it. At such an age, he can still mix to such a point in the capital of a country, and he is worthy of being a mercenary all his life.

"Don't you feel tired?" he couldn't help asking, "after the loss of my only son, I thought you would find a place to seclud, away from the hustle and bustle of the world." ”

"Seclusion? What's the point of that? It's been so long, do I still have to cry every day?" the old man looked at Benjamin with his retarded eyes, "I like to work." After that stinky boy's funeral, I'm much happier now. ”

“...... All right. ”

Benjamin was speechless for a moment, so he had to say this.
