Benjamin's surprise was not the content of the other party's words, what the Valley of God's Forsaken was like, he had already been there by himself, of course, there was nothing surprising. The most surprising thing about him was the omniscient appearance of the Mage Inheritance Society.

The legend of the Valley of God's Forsaken has always been a mystery, and few people know where it is. But Master Yarman downplayed each secret, and Benjamin saw it himself, and he was right.

This immediately ignited his great interest in the Mage Inheritance Society.

"You ...... How do you know these things?"

It is recorded in the texts left by the predecessors. Master Yarman said slowly, "We have been passing down these things for three thousand years. I dare not say that all of these things are true, but we must be closer to the real history than the other accounts. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Mage Legacies is a secluded organization, we do not have any conflicts with the outside world, and we never participate in any historical events. We have the least interest in other organizations, so our records tend to be the most objective. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he touched his chin, and he also knew that the other party's words made some sense.

It's just that......

"Isn't what you're doing now also a kind of interference in the historical process?" Benjamin spread his hands and said helplessly, "If the Mage Inheritance Society really doesn't care about anything, why did you come all the way to persuade us to give up rune research?"

"Because runes have the power to destroy this world, no matter how well we hide them, we can't hide from them. To tell you the truth, the Mage Legacy was once part of the previous Church, but we were always focused on keeping all information about rune magic under wraps, and when the fanatics went further and further, we split off from them and have never interfered with anything on the continent since. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin shook his head and sighed.

"Perhaps, maybe your fears are justified, but are runes bound to cause disaster in the world? At least what I see is that runes have saved Ikor and countless mages. ”

"That's because you're just getting started, and the runes haven't reached the point where they affect the flow of the elements on a massive scale. Yarman still persuaded without giving up, "When the Elemental Disaster appears, more people will only die because of it." ”

Benjamin shook his head and said, "If we really wait for the Elemental Scourge to appear, by that time, I believe we already have the ability to fight against it." Possession of power is a terrible thing in nature, and the ability to push mountains and reclaim the sea for children will lead to great disasters, but the same ability can be used for the right path to a responsible person. ”

"So...... Do you think humanity is mature enough now compared to 2,000 years ago?"

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's not enough, but if you want to mature, you must have some stumbles." Progress always comes at a price, and many people may die in the future, but I am willing to be a sinner because I believe that the overall living environment of mankind will definitely become better. ”

Mage Yarman was a little puzzled, "Why are you so sure?"

Benjamin smiled, and suddenly pulled out a small wooden shield from his pocket. He placed the wooden shield on the table, and with a slight touch, an elemental barrier suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire table inside.

"It's ......"

"Magic items that we developed using runes. Benjamin said slowly, "Contrary to the traditional concept, these magic items are intended for ordinary people. Even wildlings who don't know anything about magic can easily activate it, and have defense that rivals that of mages. ”

Seeing this, Mage Yarman's face finally showed a little surprise.

"You ...... this"

"Yes, we're going to introduce magic into the world of ordinary people. Benjamin nodded and said slowly, "And this is just the beginning, in the future, we will develop more diverse magic items, not necessarily just for fighting, rune lamps, rune mills, rune ploughs...... When magic becomes a means that every ordinary person can use, the elemental disasters that were avoided two thousand years ago may be just a light rain for us. ”

"It's like for primitive humans, rain is actually a big disaster. From hiding in a cave to inventing umbrellas, this is what is called progress, and all we need now is to invent new umbrellas. ”

Mage Yarman looked at the small wooden shield and was silent for a moment.

Benjamin continued: "Your Excellency also said that runes have very terrifying powers, so why don't we use its power and use it to fight against the Elemental Scourge?"

Yarman was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "...... It's dangerous to think like you. ”

"People are always in danger, aren't they?"

Yarman fell silent again.

The room became unusually quiet, and the other Mage Barton looked at Benjamin and then at the small wooden shield on the table, not knowing what to say.

"If you want me to say, shut down that academy, so that you don't have to quarrel here. The old lady suddenly raised her eyebrows, showed an indifferent expression, and said so.

“......”

The three of them covered their faces helplessly at the same time.

However, the tension was suddenly broken. Master Yarman turned his head, sighed, and said, "Since Your Excellency the Dean already has a plan, then I don't want to say anything more. Be wary of runes, be wary of the calamities they may bring, and perhaps what you do will lead you all into a new era. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he also nodded and said, "We will." ”

"However, if the runes do cause disaster and you don't deal with it, we will definitely strike again. Please also do not be angry, this is the duty that our ancestors taught us. ”

"Of course. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, I'm afraid it's been hundreds of years before things get to that point, so how can I still be angry with you?"

Mage Yarman smiled and nodded.

In this way, they gave up on convincing Benjamin and decided to leave from here as well. Benjamin tried to keep the old lady behind, at least to stay in the academy for a while or something. But the old lady seemed to be reluctant, and with the cooperation and persuasion of the other two mages, she agreed to come here for a few months every year, as a tourist retreat.

As for Benjamin's initial plan to win over the Mage Inheritance Society, it is obvious that it has been completely lost. Their views are too conservative to be fine if they don't interfere with the Academy's actions, don't expect them to help.

After saying goodbye, the three of them got up, left the dark room, and set off to return to the secret stronghold of the Mage Inheritance Society, which no one knew. Benjamin put away the wooden shield on the table and sat down in the room.

After a while, Elizabeth opened the door and walked in again.
