When Benjamin first got the invitation, he looked at Mikel with very confused eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's ......"

Mikel's smile was full of congratulations: "Your Excellency, Benjamin, please allow me to explain to you. His Majesty's dinner was really just a small private dinner. However, it is precisely because of this that this invitation is even more precious. ”

"Private dinner?" Benjamin was a little surprised, "you mean...... It's just me and His Majesty the King, meeting one-on-one?"

"No, no, no, it's not private to that point. Mikel hurriedly shook his head and said, "His Majesty will invite some friends he thinks are necessary, usually no more than three, and will also bring Her Royal Highness." You can also bring a female companion if you wish, but you will need to go through a very strict check. In short, it was just a light-hearted private dinner to connect with each other. ”

But after hearing this, the pressure Benjamin felt from this invitation letter did not lessen at all.

Truth be told, he had thought that he would attract the king's attention. After all, not boasting, he played a large role in the settlement of sectarian incidents. But what he didn't expect was that he not only attracted the king's attention, but now the king was going to invite him to dinner.

How could he not feel a pang of pressure?

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Benjamin, His Majesty has always been very reasonable. Seeing this, Mikel immediately added, "We have spoken well for you in front of Your Majesty, which is why we have attracted Your Majesty's attention. There will be this invitation, just to appreciate your strength, and there is nothing else. ”

Benjamin smiled bitterly in his heart.

It turned out that these two guys were pitted in the back.

"Does His Majesty often invite mages as he does now?" he asked, thinking about it.

"I don't know. Mikel shook his head and said, "Rest assured, though, you're certainly not the first mage to be invited to the dinner. ”

"That's ......"

Benjamin nodded, lost in thought.

Although he didn't really want to get involved in Freden's political circles so early, if he thought about it, it shouldn't hurt to just make a trip.

This was Fredon, not Ikor, and His Majesty couldn't force him to do anything.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Some mages are reluctant to get involved in the world, and we can all understand that. If you don't want to go, Your Majesty won't force you. It's only a week away, so whether you're going or not, say hello to the people at the city hall. ”

In the end, Mikel left this passage behind, and said goodbye happily, leaving Benjamin to sit alone in the reception room, looking at the invitation in a daze.

Of course, that was all a few days ago. At this moment, Benjamin, standing in his room, had already made a decision.

In fact, he had already said hello to the people on the city side.

- He will be on time for the dinner.

Seriously, if he could get a little bit of a relationship with the king of Fredon, he wouldn't have to worry even if the Vinci mage continued to slander him in the back. After all, that's the thickest thigh in the country!

He's already starting to think about what gifts he's going to bring to dinner.

So, after lunch, he told Wallis to look in Riley City to see if there were any special specialties or treasured wines that could be used as gifts, no matter how expensive.

He himself, after a short rest, began to meet with the remaining three visitors.

However, when he walked into the reception room, he was a little surprised to find that the three mages who had come to visit him together were still acquaintances.

Two men and one woman were the three people from the Mage Freemasons in the ruins at that time. Benjamin only remembered that the first one was named Tony, and the other two, he didn't even ask for names.

Speaking of which, the last time they met, it was Benjamin who went to the Mage Freemasonry and wanted the Mage Freemasons to deal with that sect.

Results......

Benjamin thought of what Captain Lance had said before, that the Mage Freemasons had been vague and unwilling to testify. Therefore, this meeting has become a little delicate.

What do they want to do?

"It's been a long time, I really didn't expect you to come and visit. Benjamin said as he smiled and poured three glasses of wine for the other party, with no flaws in his expression.

"Thank you. Tony picked up his glass and smiled, but inevitably a little embarrassed, "That's ...... Your Excellency's heroic deeds have spread throughout Riley City, and it is truly admirable. ”

The other two mages were hiding behind Tony, reluctant to speak, and let Tony speak.

Benjamin didn't know why they wanted the three of them to come together.

Are conjoined babies? Do they have to go to the toilet with three people?

"You won the prize, I just did what I was supposed to do. Benjamin didn't bother to go around in circles with them, put down his glass, and said directly, "Although I don't know your intentions, I warned you about the danger of that sect before, why did you pretend to be deaf and dumb there when Captain Lance asked you to testify?"

Obviously the foreign enemy is at present, but he is not willing to testify, and he is also very curious about what is going on in the minds of these mage Freemasons.

"Master Benjamin, you misunderstood us. Hearing this, Tony was also a little anxious, and quickly explained, "We reported everything that could be reported, and we strongly asked to testify about the whole thing." But...... But...... The above may not take our words very seriously and did not take them seriously, so in the end...... You also understand that there is nothing we can do. ”

...... yes, what else can be done?

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

Of course, he understands that the Mage Freemasons don't trust Benjamin because of Master Finch, so they will maintain a wait-and-see attitude when Benjamin participates.

Is...... A bunch of useless and tedious guys.

"And now?" he snorted, "I have become the official star mage, don't you people above you feel embarrassed......? They regret it, so they're sending you over to apologize to me now?"

The three looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and shook their heads.

"Are they going to continue to squeeze me?" Benjamin narrowed.

"No...... There is no statement on it. Tony lowered his head and said with some shame, "I don't know what they're thinking, but there's been no reaction from above since the events of that sect fermented. No one spoke ill of you anymore, no one mentioned your credit for this, and no one dared to talk about you. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

It doesn't matter, a group of old-fashioned mages chew their tongues in the stacks of books all day long, but they immediately shrink up when they encounter serious things, and they don't dare to come out, and it's useless.

Such guys, Benjamin doesn't care what they say about themselves.

"In that case, what are you here for today?" he said slowly, taking a sip of his wine.

When the three of them heard this, they suddenly exchanged a look.

Then, Tony took a deep breath and stepped forward, as if he had made up his mind to speak, and said, "Master Benjamin, that ...... Coming here today is purely our own feeling. We...... We want to quit the Mage Freemasons and join your forces!"
