Chapter 429: Declaration 2.0

Benjamin rushed back to Amber City that night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After informing each other of each other using magic items, he and the other mages quietly went out of the city, and more than a hundred people gathered in a wasteland outside the city to exchange the news they had found out today.

Of course, when it comes to communication, it's actually mainly Benjamin who tells everyone what he just heard. The mages also tried hard to inquire about the news in Amber City, but the news of the church was quite tightly blocked, and they made no progress, which was equivalent to familiarizing themselves with the environment in the city.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that Benjamin met the king, otherwise, they would probably still be in the same place now.

“...... That's probably what happened to Carretus now, but don't worry too much. We had the support of a big man yesterday, just be careful and don't be found out by the church, they can't get us. ”

Benjamin did not speak out about the king, because in his mind, the king's help was only an auxiliary external force, and it did not help them much.

After the introduction, the mages reacted relatively well. After all, they have been inquiring outside for a long time but have not gained anything, and they will be a little anxious in their hearts. And now that Benjamin has given them direction, at least they don't have to be confused anymore.

As for the power of the Church in Carretus...... Just by looking at their expressions, they also felt a lot of pressure. There's a lot more eyeliner here than Freden, and Benjamin only hopes that the pressure will make them more careful when they act so that they don't get caught by the tail by the church.

After that, Benjamin began to plan his next move.

"It's the same this time, in order to spread the Freedom of Magic Declaration, we need to have bases all over the country. So we had to start splitting up again. You are now in a group of five people, each of whom is responsible for an area, and this half month is mainly about getting acquainted with the environment. Be very careful, the church has eyeliner in every city, and the situation here is not the same as Freeden. ”

The mages nodded their heads, and everyone stepped forward and took a confidential note from Benjamin's hand that said the area Benjamin had assigned to them.

-- They will continue their underground party model, so it is better to keep each other uninformed and only Benjamin knows the whole thing.

As for their central stronghold, Benjamin simply chose Amber City. Judging from the situation obtained by the king, every place is the same, and the strongholds of the church are everywhere, so it is better to make it convenient.

Benjamin will also take a few mages and settle down in Amber City to start writing version 2.0 of the Free Mage's Manifesto.

And just like that, with a few more words of encouragement, Benjamin disbanded the group. The mages came to the meeting with their luggage, and after the meeting, they dispersed directly and rushed to their respective areas of responsibility at night.

"Lord Benjamin, I'm leaving, I'll send you a message when I get there. ”

"No problem, Lord Benjamin. The church is so arrogant in this hellish place, we must make them feel good. ”

"Mr. Benjamin, I'm leaving, I hope everything goes well......"

Looking at those determined backs in the night, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath. These mages had nothing to do with Carretus, and he couldn't pay them anything. However, they still followed Benjamin without hesitation and chose such a path.

What else could they be for?

For an ideal.

-- There is no ideal of the church in the world.

"Maybe they're just naturally trying to get things done. The system suddenly popped up and interjected in a very disruptive manner.

“...... Shut up. ”

Benjamin shook his head and said in his heart.

Seeing the other mages leave, he also turned around and returned to Amber City with his team of mages, ready to begin the compilation of the Declaration of Free Magic 2.0.

It's not that easy to do. The first version was geared towards mages, most of whom had a certain foundation in magic and were literate, so Benjamin didn't need to pay attention to anything. But the second edition is aimed at the common people, and the whole book is set to be a kind of propaganda brochure with no foundation and pure introduction, which is a bit difficult.

If nothing else, the average level of literacy in this world is okay, but not everyone is literate. Even for those who can read, if you write a sentence complicated, others may not be able to understand it.

So, from 1.0 to 2.0, they needed a disruptive change.

"If you can't read...... Then you can only draw, right?"

In the inn room, Benjamin and a few mages gather to discuss how to write a new version of the manifesto. Frank held his head in his hand and said as he spoke, also showing a look of anxiety.

"Drawing is actually a way, but ...... How should the incantation be pronounced, and how should the drawing be expressed?" Benjamin affirmed the proposal, but asked a new question.

"Hmm......" Several mages fell silent again.

Benjamin couldn't help but scratch his head.

In his opinion, the 2.0 manifesto does not need to be as unfathomable as any scientific research paper, on the contrary, it is good to be like the kind of "Palm of the Gods" that costs ten yuan a copy on the street. Therefore, he is also thinking about drawing. But spells are an extremely important part of magic, and if something goes wrong, the effect will be greatly reduced.

He couldn't think of anything for a while, so he had to find a few people to brainstorm it. But looking at their appearance, they don't seem to have any good ideas.

"Actually...... I really don't know a single letter, and there aren't many people like that, right?" Wallis said as he tapped his fingers on the table, "big deal, let's give up that part of the people and use the letters to mark the syllables, so that most people can understand them." ”

Benjamin shook his head: "It's better not to do this. The church has already infiltrated very strongly, and we have automatically given up some people, which is sending these people into the hands of the church!"

Wallis sighed and said, "I can't think of anything I can do about it." ”

Benjamin was not discouraged and looked at Frank again: "What about you? Haven't you been studying forbidden spells for a while ago, and you have made a lot of progress, and you have successfully overcome the problem of accent and learned more than thirty kinds of magic. Have you figured out anything about it?"

Frank rubbed his temples and said slowly, "We'...... Can you try to label the sound with an image?"

"So how?"

Frank seems to have found some ideas, but he is not quite sure: "Just ...... For example, some people don't know how to write the word 'apple', but they know how to pronounce it and what it means. In this case, we draw an apple on the book and use its image to represent its pronunciation. In this way, a few apples and pears were drawn in a row, although it was not accurate enough, but it was barely enough to make up a spell. ”

After listening, the others stared at him blankly and did not say a word.

"Is it so unreliable?" asked Frank helplessly.

“...... Will it really be possible to recite the incantation in this way? Won't it end up that no one recites the incantation correctly, and they all end up saying that we are liars?" Wallis said after a moment of silence.

"No, the accuracy of the spell is actually off the verge of a certain extent. Frank explained, "Like me, I still can't pronounce spells, but I find some of the key syllables in the spells, and as long as I pronounce them correctly, there are some deviations from the other parts, at most affecting the power of the magic, but I can still use them." ”

Hearing this, Benjamin showed a little surprise in his eyes.

"You try it, put together the introductory magic into an image phonetic table. He patted Frank on the shoulder and said expectantly, "Words are all slowly developed from graphics. Maybe you'll take this opportunity to invent a new hieroglyph!"
