Chapter 653: The Academy's Intelligence Network
In the days that followed, the three forces held detailed discussions on the issue of taking turns in power.
Fredon and Carretus had largely agreed to that plan, but they also raised a lot of questions, such as how Ikor would exercise his right to deploy troops, what to do in special situations such as natural disasters or war, and what to do if someone broke the treaty......
Even though Benjamin had already worked out the details, they still engaged in months-long negotiations between them...... Of course, this has further helped improve the system, closing several loopholes that they did not expect before.
Because of the long time, except for the first few days, the rest of the discussion was shifted to the border area of the three countries. Benjamin also returned to the academy, pretending to be stupid. When people came up to him and asked him about his relationship with the new system, he said that he was now busy rebuilding Akademi and knew nothing about it.
Of course, to say that he was busy rebuilding Akademi is not a lie.
At the same time as Benjamin went to Ikor, with the efforts of the faculty of the college, the final exams were successfully completed, and the first semester was completed with a stumbling conclusion. Most of the students left the college and went home to enjoy their month's vacation, and the teachers who had worked so hard for so long also took the vacation, and the college suddenly became much more deserted.
As a result, the manpower to rebuild the town is actually a bit strained, and Benjamin spends a lot of time on it every day.
The dark department of the academy that was formed before has also slowly begun to play a role. They worked hard to create public opinion among the people, so that the people of each country could better accept the alliance between the three countries and the system of rotation of government. In addition, Ikor's rejection of him is gradually dissolving.
Moreover, the location of the three kingdoms was not far from the academy, so Benjamin could often find time in the night to meet with the president secretly and keep an eye on the development of the matter.
In short, this seemingly fantastical system seems to be gradually on the right track.
"Their arguments are interesting, and they obviously haven't really seen the meaning of such a system yet. The details of the ruling parliament have been finalized, but they are still arguing about who will be the first party to govern. ”
And about a month later, the discussion was coming to an end, and the president couldn't help but complain.
Benjamin shook his head and smiled.
After all, the people of this world have not been exposed to anything like it, and they can't see the end. And when the system actually works, they will understand that the question is as meaningless as stepping out of the left foot or the right foot first.
"Is the list of the first members of the ruling council out?" he asked.
"It was just drafted yesterday. The guild nodded and replied, "You and the names of the other twenty academy mages are in it, you should have no opinion, right?"
Benjamin shrugged: "Of course not. ”
This is already a large weight, how can he not be satisfied?
As for the members of the ruling council, the election system is still in place, but it will definitely be reformed in the future. In short, their criterion is a reputable neutral lawyer. And with the passage of time, all the most famous people in the mage world will definitely come from the Academy of Magic.
Benjamin still has this self-confidence.
"That's right...... What the hell is going on in the Kingdom of Hori? I tried to get in touch with the people over there, but there was no response. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked.
During this time, he had been writing letters to the people of the Fur family. However, the priest who had secretly helped them deliver the letter had disappeared a few months earlier.
Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little weird.
His intelligence network has only just developed, and he can't go to the side of the Horry Kingdom. Therefore, he still didn't know anything about the current situation over there.
"Recently, the inspection of the Crussad gate has become much stricter, and it is difficult for me to find out for sure. The president replied, "However, there must be some chaos in the church, so there is no time for us to take such a step." ”
“...... Civil strife?"
Benjamin touched his chin and nodded.
He suddenly remembered the two priests he had overheard in the Valley of God's Forsaken Valley. Judging from their conversations, there is indeed a rift within the church. Only, will those rifts burst out so quickly?
And the point is, if there is really civil unrest in the church, is there a chance they can do something about it?
After thinking about it, he still felt that this kind of situation of blackening his eyes was very terrifying. Bad things are not warned, opportunities are missed in the blink of an eye, and they have to plant their own eyeliner in the kingdom of Hori.
Leaving the Chamber of Secrets late at night, Benjamin returned to the Academy. After thinking about it, he summoned the current head of the dark department of the academy.
"My lord, is there anything we need to do?"
Knightly on one knee, as a mercenary brought out of the "Seven Days of Hell" by Benjamin, Edmund is now one of the heads of the Academy's dark department, and every time he faces Benjamin, he is like a monarch.
Benjamin wasn't used to it, but he didn't say much. To engage in these things, the sense of ritual is probably also an indispensable part, right?
"I need you to enter the kingdom of Hori and establish a new intelligence base there. He waved his hand, motioned for the other to get up, and said.
Edmund thought for a moment and said, "My lord, the checkpoints over there are very strict. Once we get in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to establish a stable connection with the academy. ”
Benjamin took out a few pieces of sound transmission wood and handed them to the other party.
"It's okay, you just need to take it and report to me at any time what you have seen in the Kingdom of Hori. He said slowly, "Don't worry about the inspection of the gate, I will send you directly from the mountains, and no one will find the sound transmission wood chips on your body." ”
Hearing this, Edmund put down the wood chips in his hand and nodded vigorously: "Yes." ”
Benjamin smiled encouragingly.
This is not an easy task. Going deep into the kingdom of Hori, the other party is obviously ready to give his life. Benjamin may never be accustomed to having a group of people working for him, but he is still quite touched.
The rebuilding of the town has been preliminarily completed, and in a week's time, the college will open again. He could spare two days to send these people over.
It's just that......
Thinking of the Kingdom of Hori, a question mark suddenly popped up in his heart.
He had smuggled Elizabeth out of the city along with a group of mages and had them join the Academy of Magic. But since then, Benjamin has never seen those people again.
It's been a few months, and even if those mages walk slowly on their legs, it's time to walk to the academy, right?
Benjamin was helpless. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Edmund leave and at the same time instructed him to use the existing intelligence network to search for the whereabouts of those people.
A group of mages who don't know anything about the outside world can't be an accident, right?
