Three days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside a small villa in the city of Railay.

An elegantly decorated living room with a pair of upholstered sofas. Benjamin sat across from a mage. They tread on a crimson carpet under their feet. Between the two, there is also a long wood-colored table.

"Look at this robe, whether it is the material workmanship or the style, it can be called exquisite. Benjamin spread a silver-white cloak on the table and said slowly, "As for its effect, Master Hudson might as well feel it for himself." ”

It was the storm cloak he and the proprietress had made with their own hands.

Hearing this, Master Hudson nodded, reached out, and carefully picked up the cloak.

With the palm of his hand gently brushing the soft fur, Benjamin could even feel a sudden breeze blowing in this closed reception room. The breeze seemed to be spiritual, gently hovering around Master Hudson like a tame sheepdog.

Although Benjamin's sensitivity to the wind element is basically zero, he knows very well that this is a phenomenon formed spontaneously by the wind element under the inspiration, which proves the ability of this cloak from the side.

Seeing this, Master Hudson also showed a happy look.

"It's really good. After tasting it for a while, he reluctantly put down his cloak and looked at Benjamin again, "Tell me, how much is this robe?"

Benjamin smiled and said, "No need, I didn't bring any gifts for my first visit." This robe should be given as a gift to Your Excellency. ”

Master Hudson was a little surprised: "This ...... How can I be embarrassed?"

"It's just a robe, you don't have to care. Benjamin continued, "We already have the technology to make this robe, and although the raw materials and the process are cumbersome, we can still make another one with some effort." ”

Hudson's expression became even more surprised: "Oh, you've mastered how to make magic items?"

Benjamin smiled and nodded.

"I see. Hudson said appreciatively, "I've heard your name before, and I thought you were a talented up-and-comer. I didn't expect that in addition to magic, there was such a talent. ”

"You've won the prize. ”

Hudson thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's still a magic prop that has been gone for a long time, and I can't be cheeky enough to take it down." In this way, you say a cost price, and I will give you the money, which is considered to owe you a favor. If you have anything in the future, you can also come to me for help. ”

Benjamin still shook his head.

"No need, just take it. As he spoke, he turned his head and finally got to the point, "Besides, we will soon hold an exhibition with more varieties of robes. If you are interested, please ask a few friends to come and have a look. ”

After the harvest of the "Seven Days of Hell", the money is already in place. Preparations for the exhibition are also in full swing. All he needs at the moment is publicity.

It is impossible for him to print leaflets and distribute them everywhere, let alone put up small advertisements all over the streets. In such an era, word of mouth is the most reliable and effective means of propaganda.

Hence the current scene.

Hudson is the leader of a hundred-man mage mercenary group, and he has a lot of influence in the circle, otherwise Benjamin would not have come to visit. This storm cloak that he gave away for nothing is the publicity cost he must invest.

Hearing this, Hudson's eyes also flashed with a hint of abruptness.

"I see. He looked at the cloak on the table again, and unceremoniously held it in his hand, "In that case, I'll take it." As for your exhibition, don't worry, there is this kind of thing, and my friends and I will not miss it. ”

Benjamin smiled and said, "Then please Your Excellency." After that, I'll have someone send you an invitation. ”

Hudson nodded, let the servant in, and put away the storm cloak. He himself stood up, smiled, and shook Benjamin's hand in farewell.

"What a promising young man. He said, "It's a pity that I couldn't attend the gathering of Master Vinci at the time, otherwise I would have seen your Excellency's ten-game winning streak." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can come to our exhibition, it is already our honor. ”

"However, speaking of Master Finch...... Hudson suddenly lowered his voice slightly, "Although his influence has always been the greatest in the circle, for the sake of the face of this robe, I still have a word of advice, don't bring these robes to him to help you promote it." ”

...... Oh?

Benjamin's heart moved.

"Why?"

Hudson replied: "He's been in some trouble lately, and there's been a lot of bad rumors about him. And your new exhibition is new, and your reputation is very important, and it must not be stained in any way. So it's best that you don't have any dealings with him during this time. ”

Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

Bad rumors...... That is, the news that Mage Finch secretly colluded with Ikor.

It seems that the rumors that he let the "crow" help him spread are also starting to take effect.

"Is someone slandering Mage Finch behind his back?" he continued to probe in that unaware tone, "How can this be?

"Nobody knows what's going on. Hudson shook his head and said, "I don't have much contact with Master Finch, but I heard that these rumors are all spread from the people and slowly spread to the mage circle, so it is difficult to trace the roots. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"With all these rumors coming out, isn't Master Finch going to do something?" he asked.

"Who knows what he's thinking?" Hudson said helplessly, "Actually, at first, a lot of people didn't believe it. But he didn't show up for a while, and he didn't try to clarify, which made some people start to be suspicious. These days, many mercenaries don't go to his shop to buy potions, so I advise you not to have anything to do with him. ”

That's right......

Hearing this, Benjamin was quite puzzled.

It seems that the news that Miles told him was correct.

However, even if it is true that he is secretly in contact with Ikor, as a semi-public figure, how can Mage Finch stand up and protect his reputation?

"Thank you for your advice, I'll take note. Benjamin didn't have time to think about it, but smiled at Hudson, "Everyone still has something to do, so I'll take my leave." ”

Hudson nodded as well and sent Benjamin out of his small villa.

Walk the streets of Railay City......

"Master Finch has been silent, is he a thief, or is he trying to do something in secret?" Benjamin thought for a long time and couldn't help but ask in his heart.

"Why are you worried about this? "The system doesn't care about the authenticity," said that there is no way to trace the source, no one knows that it is the news you spread, can he still find you?"

"That's ......," Benjamin replied with a sigh in his heart.

Regardless, his counterattack against Mage Finch was a success. This kind of treasonous rumor is here, and the other party will definitely not dare to act rashly, otherwise in the end, the result will definitely be more than a decline in the flow of people in the store.

Benjamin is now in a relationship with the king. Collusion with Ikor is a crime that goes to the king, and even if there is no substantial evidence, the Mage Vinci will definitely be unlucky.

So, thinking of this, Benjamin finally relaxed.

There is no need to think about it so much, at this moment, the only thing he has to do is to wholeheartedly prepare the exhibition in half a month, and let it become his first shot in Riley City, or in the entire magic circle of Freden.
