From the death of the king to the lifting of the ban, a series of policies were implemented throughout Freeden, and it took several days before and after. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as one of the important cities in Fredon, Riley City obviously didn't need that long. The next morning, the announcement was already plastered with street signs. There is hardly a single color of clothing in the city, and black flags are planted at the door of every house, fluttering in the wind.

Fredon is a young country. Although they had only recently experienced the violent death of the old king and the division of the empire, the establishment of a new state and the death of the first king in the prime of life were still sad news for the people.

Because of this, most people didn't notice that there were suddenly more priests coming and going on the street.

They held heavy books in their hands and wore solemn robes, which was very suitable for the atmosphere of the national funeral. They didn't go around looking for someone to talk to, but gradually gathered in front of the former branch of the Masonic Fellowshiponry, not knowing what they were up to.

The Mage Freemasons in Freden no longer exist, and their original stronghold and branch are now all sealed. As for what those places will be used for in the future after they are seized...... Looking at the workers and priests who were around there, it was probably clear.

They were going to turn those places into churches.

"My lord, are those people the priests of the church?"

Around the corner of the street, a few mages hid there, poking their heads out and secretly observing the scene. Among them, Tony asked with a nervous look.

Benjamin sighed and answered the question with a nod.

Who would have thought?

Kill the king and spread rumors...... In the beginning, all Benjamin did was to slow down the church's plan to control Freden. However, the decisiveness of the church was beyond imagination. Forced by rumors and pressure from all sides, they simply pushed the boat and destroyed Aldrich and the entire Mage Freemasonry directly, and also used this opportunity to bring themselves from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

When he heard the news from the Assassin last night, he was still in disbelief. But it wasn't until this morning that the news came from the side of Xuedi City, and the announcement was posted all over the streets, and he had to believe it.

"Mr. Benjamin, how do you feel...... We've helped them, huh?"

At that time, Benjamin had a wry smile on his face when faced with the questions of his mages.

What could he do?

He's also helpless.

However, if you think about it, this move of the church seems to be a Jedi counterattack. But in reality, it was more like a hasty act of severing their wrists - although they threw the entire Mage Freemasons into the pit and burned them to death, and lifted the ban, they were unprepared for the question of how to make the whole of Fredon truly accept the church.

In this country, mages still have a certain foundation. Without suppressing the mages, the decree came out of nowhere, without any public opinion, and even with all kinds of reasonable excuses, the mages will definitely rebound very strongly.

Therefore, what Benjamin did still had an impact on the church's plan.

Looking at the actions of these people who hurriedly built the church, we can see that the church is definitely in a hurry. They had no reason to issue a decree banning mages, so they had to insist on building the church and then forcibly proselytizing, so they were so clear that they were tough with the local mages.

That's a lot easier to deal with.

At this moment, Benjamin already had some countermeasures in mind.

-- At least, this church in front of me, these people don't want to build it intact in 30 years.

"My lord, we can't let them just preach in the city. ”

"Don't worry. Benjamin nodded, and said, "How easy it is to preach, and I will not let them succeed." ”

Although it is not good to clash head-on with the church, there are still some ways to hinder their mission.

In this case, the role that the "crows" can play is also greater than they think.

Of course, this is a battle of details, which will continue forever, but it may not be able to affect the overall situation. More importantly, how to take advantage of the upcoming rally of the mages.

Thinking of this, Benjamin patted several mages on the shoulder and led them out of here.

Half a day later.

"Master Benjamin, you're right! ”

In a remote house in the city, Mage Finch has a secret meeting with Benjamin. As soon as he entered the door, he said with an eager look.

Benjamin just smiled and didn't say anything.

“...... Master Benjamin, I was too arbitrary to refuse your request. Seeing this, Finch was silent for a moment, his expression a little deflated, but he immediately turned to say, "However, the church has bullied us, we must do something!"

Benjamin heard this and nodded.

However, he still didn't speak, just took out the "Declaration of Free Magic", showed a nonchalant look, and put it on the table.

“......”

Mage Finch's face was a little ugly.

"Do you have to release this thing?"

Benjamin nodded.

Mage Finch sighed and said, "Okay...... The enemy is now, since you are so persistent, then I will believe you once. Whether it's Riley City or Fredon as a whole, I have some connections. As soon as you print it, I promise to make this book available in every corner of the country. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he finally smiled with satisfaction and spoke:

"Then please, Your Excellency. ”

From a certain point of view, the church's actions can be regarded as a great favor for him.

At least, these mages in Freden have never seen the power of the church before, and they are a bit inappropriate. Now that the mages are starting to take this seriously, Benjamin's actions will be more recognized.

"By the way, Master Benjamin. "Are you going to make a trip to Snowy City?" this morning, several mages with connections to the palace have set out to persuade Her Highness to revoke the decree. ”

Benjamin frowned: "Persuade the queen?"

Mage Finch nodded and said, "Yes, some mages know the officials of the royal palace, have some connections in Xuedi City, and some people have met with Her Royal Highness the Queen. They felt that this decree was very unreasonable, and planned to go to the palace to petition. ”

"Crazy, huh? Get them back. Benjamin shook his head, revealing a look of absurdity, "The royal palace has been completely controlled by the church, and the queen must not be able to help herself." At least a quarter of the military power in Freden is directly controlled by the Church, and the rest are still wavering, but the Church may be able to control it as long as it is ordered by the Queen. ”

Speaking of this, Benjamin paused slightly, and then said: "In this case, to go is to die." ”

Mage Finch was also a little stunned.

"Is it that serious?"

Benjamin nodded wordlessly.

"But...... They should have arrived by now. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he sighed and said helplessly: "Then you can start to mourn for them now." ”

It's like this without experiencing political struggle, and it's naïve to do it. The decrees have been issued, and I still think that the royal family is not controlled, and I think that if I run away, I can "persuade" the queen back?

The church wishes there would be more such mages. They took it all.
