Hearing this, those mages showed some puzzled expressions.

"This ...... Do we have to get involved in the war between Ikor and Carretus?"

It seems that the mentality of these mages is still different from that of the people. They don't care who the political rulers are, no matter how time passes. As long as it's not the church that comes to power.

Benjamin had no choice but to tell these people the news that the queen was using potions to control the mage's guild. The mages of Carretus are more freedom-minded, and after hearing about Ikor's situation, their attitude will naturally not be so indifferent.

"If we don't join the Mage Guild, can't we hide from them?" someone asked.

"Then it's going to be hard. Benjamin replied, "In Ikor, mages who don't join the guild are squeezed hard. I know a potion mage who hides in a remote town, but is often harassed by the people of the mage guild, and suffers unspeakably. ”

"This ......"

"I don't want to force you to go to war, but in this situation, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and it is difficult to stay out of it. Benjamin took the opportunity to persuade, "Of course, if you are willing to help us, we can also provide you with spells and better meditation practices." ”

These local mages are different, they are not obligated to help defend against Ikor, so Benjamin can only offer some benefits and reasons to lure the other party to join.

"Master Benjamin, what you say makes a lot of sense, but we want to think again. Eventually, the mages came up with this answer.

Benjamin could only nod his head in acceptance.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "By the way, you should be the only ones regarding the other local mages in the territory of Carretus. If you can, can you put me in touch with more mages?"

"Well, we do know some people. We can write to them to tell them about you, but it depends on their wishes, and we can't guarantee it. ”

"It's okay, if only you were willing to help. ”

With that, Benjamin ended his conversation with a few local mages. The result was not smooth, but at least it was rewarding, so his mood was okay. Carretus is so big, even if there are only a few hundred mages left, there will always be dozens of people willing to help.

He returned to his new home and continued his meditation.

After the general came over with the army, he slowly took over their magic propaganda work. The mages are temporarily idle, that is, teaching disciples, and more time is spent on improving their own level.

Especially Benjamin, every time he comes out to do something, the officials in Amber City are like "Uncle, meditate, let us lay people do anything", which made him very helpless.

However, it is also true that defending against Ikor does require more powerful magical power. You may not be able to meditate for a little while, but ...... A little bit of enhancement is a little bit.

And since the appearance of blue water waves in the consciousness space, Benjamin's meditation process has changed slightly.

The three characters began to approach again, but they approached much slower than before. Every time a water elemental rain accumulates, it will not only be absorbed by the two comical systems of the system, but also by these blue spiritual powers, and the amount that the triangle characters can absorb will also be reduced.

Benjamin was helpless about it, but there was nothing he could do. It's all useful things, and they all have to be a little higher, but there are so many experience points gained every day, and the speed is naturally not fast.

He could only take his time.

However, to his surprise, not long after he started meditating today, officials from Amber City came to him and interrupted his meditation.

"What's wrong, isn't Ikol's army still far away?" asked Benjamin, frowning.

"Not the army, but ...... Ikor sent messengers. The official said, "They asked for a meeting, and maybe there could be peace talks." Your Majesty is ready to attend the meeting, and has sent to Amber City to inform you that he wants you to join in this meeting as well. ”

...... Messenger Meeting?

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What trick is the blind queen up to?

Ikor had sent an emissary to the church before, but he didn't know what the conspiracy was, and he was stirred up by Benjamin. And now, the people of the church have almost withdrawn from Caritus, and Ikor has sent messengers again, what is their purpose?

There is really such a good thing, Ikor can withdraw his troops directly, what kind of war will he fight?

Benjamin found it suspicious.

However, the request for a meeting at such a moment also seems to be beneficial to them. The meeting would certainly slow down Ikor's attack, and Benjamin would have more time to gather the mage's strength and prepare for what would happen next.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to refuse the other party.

"Okay, I'll go back to Glories at once, and I'll go with Your Majesty. ”

After informing the mage here, Benjamin quickly set off.

That afternoon, he arrived at Glori, where he met the king, and even the messenger sent by Ikor . The attitude of the envoy was very polite, not at all as if he was from a country that had invaded the door.

"This is the famous Venerable Benjamin, and it is an honor to meet me today. ”

Benjamin nodded expressionlessly.

Don't forget, he's also on a wanted warrant in Ikor, and it's impossible that this emissary hasn't seen him. And as far as he knew, Ikor had not been revoked for him and his mages. They are there, still smeared as spies sent by the Kingdom of Hori.

"I wonder why Her Majesty suddenly wants to meet?" he asked.

"Her Majesty and the King of your country are brother and sister after all, and they have grown up together since childhood, and they still have some affection. Even if things have evolved to this point, His Majesty still has not forgotten the brother-sister relationship of that day. ”

“......”

Benjamin almost blurted out the word "roll".

is worthy of being a messenger, this kind of thing can be said with confidence, and the professionalism is also powerful enough. However, looking at the other party's appearance, the real purpose of the queen's meeting must be difficult to get out of his mouth.

So, in the end, he faked two laughs and said, "I see, I'm looking forward to meeting Her Majesty." I've got something to do, so I'll go first. ”

After that, the messenger was sent away, and only Benjamin and the king were left in the hall, as well as some credible personal guards.

The king looked at Benjamin with a helpless expression.

"You see, the messenger is like that, he can't ask anything. He sighed and said, "But...... Maybe this messenger doesn't know anything, but my sister's mind has never been guessed by others. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and asked instead, "When is the time for the meeting?"

A week later. The king replied, "The place is fixed on a main road to the east." That place has not yet been occupied by Ikor, and we will both send certain people to meet each other in order to ensure each other's safety. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but complain: "It's really troublesome to meet." ”

The king was helpless: "Why do you fight...... Not all of them are like this. ”

"However, if there is really a peace talk, Ikor will inevitably put forward some conditions. Benjamin said, "Your Majesty, the situation is still in a weak position, the bottom line of the meeting, have you thought clearly?"

The king nodded.

"What about the vulnerable. His tone had never been more confident than it was today, "Caritus's territory, I will never give her a penny." If she doesn't retreat, we'll fight back little by little. ”

Benjamin also smiled when he heard this.

"Since Your Majesty thinks so, then I am much more relieved. He agreed, with the king, and said, "If Ikorl refuses to back down, then we will fight until they withdraw from Carretus altogether, just like the church." ”
