"At this pace, how long will it take us to get to the border?"

On a mountain road in Ikor territory, in the afternoon, Benjamin, who had just finished lunch, was sitting outside the tent, looking at the dazzlingly clear sky, and suddenly asked the system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's hard to say, it's possible to have a minimum of half a month, or a month or two at the longest. The system replied, "The number of demonic beasts encountered in the past few days is also increasing, and your speed is affected by too many unstable factors, and it is difficult for me to estimate." ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

After leaving Hanktown, the group hurried towards the border of Ikor and Fredon, and until now, two days had passed on the road.

- That's right, they were still preparing to leave Ikor quickly, and they didn't plan to pass through the capital.

The note he accidentally got from Hawke didn't change Benjamin's mind. The Mage's Guild first sent someone to invite him to Regina, and then sent a note telling the lobbyists not to let Benjamin get close to Regina. This back and forth, Benjamin is really a little incomprehensible.

He didn't know what the Mage's Guild meant's intentions were, but it was clear that the other party had discovered his identity - a mage who could summon a water balloon the size of half a city. From this point of view, Benjamin's presence is a threat to them, and it is normal to want Benjamin to leave as soon as possible.

But...... How did they find out Benjamin's identity?

Judging from the way he behaved when he left the gate, the queen must not have known that he was the mage who summoned a huge water ball in the royal capital, otherwise, the group would never have left so easily.

What the Mage's Guild knows, the Queen doesn't. That said, there may be some minor disagreements between the two.

This also makes the situation in Ikor as a whole seem more delicate.

Of course, it is also possible that this disagreement does not come from the Mage Guild and the Queen, but from within the Mage Guild itself. The note was found in Hawke's pocket, and it is unknown who wrote it. At the same time, Richard, another mage, must have been unaware of the note.

- If Richard knew that Benjamin was the notorious "water balloon demon", how could he rashly come up to compete with him and gamble with confidence?

Thinking about it this way, two people who are also from the Mage Guild seem to be on the same mission, but their real goals may be completely different.

It's complicated......

The more Benjamin thought about it, the more he felt that he had no clue at all.

Therefore, in the end, he decided to put this matter aside. It doesn't matter what the people in the Mage Guild want to do, it doesn't have much to do with Benjamin anyway. The only thing he needed to do was to leave Ikor without looking back—why did he sit idle here and mingle in the muddy waters of this big beach?

These people didn't want him to go to the capital, okay, it just so happened that Benjamin didn't want to go either.

In this way, he put the note away, and hurried away, never to take it out again.

This route from one end of Ikor to the other was a deliberate choice made by Benjamin and the system. From this route, they can avoid all the towns and main roads, avoid the eyes and ears of the various forces, and reach the border of Ikor in a situation that no one else can predict.

Of course, the disadvantage of choosing this hidden route is their supplies and the demonic beasts they may encounter on the way. There is no need to worry too much about supplies, they have already prepared before leaving, but the living area of the demonic beasts in the territory of Ikor is much more extensive than that of the Hori Kingdom.

They had only been away from Hank Town for two days, and on the way, they had already encountered four or five waves of demonic beasts.

Fortunately, the monsters they encountered didn't seem to be very powerful, and the number of each wave was not large, so the mage and his party coped well, and even Benjamin didn't need to make a move, and the danger was already solved.

It's like half an hour ago, they were just attacked by a pack of wind wolves.

At that time, the overwhelming wind blades rushed towards them, but the mages in the team were already prepared. Everyone gathered together to release the magic shield and block this wave of attacks, and then launched a fierce counterattack. Fireballs, icicles, ground spikes...... More than twenty mages shot at once, and although they were all entry-level or low-level magic, the scene at that time was still quite spectacular.

After two days of experience fighting Warcraft, their actions are much more familiar than before. By gathering fires in twos and threes, the number of wolves was half in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel that it was indeed very beneficial for everyone to experience some actual combat.

When the first time I encountered the attack of the demonic beast, everyone was still a little scrambling, and a few people were injured. However, only two days have passed, and some small cooperation between the mages has already begun to appear, some are responsible for control, some are responsible for head-on confrontation, and some are responsible for mending the sword......

Depending on the different types of magic that everyone is good at, everyone can play their part, and the whole battle becomes less chaotic.

Of course, it's not enough for them to just not be cluttered. In the process of fighting against the wind wolf, Benjamin still didn't see the kind of tacit understanding, and everyone still relied on their respective expertise and combat experience to deal with this attack, and there was no subtle cooperation.

But......

Thinking of this, Benjamin smiled and shook his head.

This kind of thing can't be rushed. There are no tactical masters in their group, they have all learned little by little in actual combat, and it is already very good to have this kind of progress.

Moreover, this remote route choice also provides a very good opponent for them to hone their combat ability and cooperation. As long as it is not long before Benjamin believes that they will become a group of mages with a fairly tacit understanding, their combat effectiveness will increase a lot.

-- Improving the tacit understanding, which is what they have to do right now.

There is no way, the ability of a group of mages to not be attached to anyone, to gain a foothold on their own, and to cooperate with each other in battle is too important. Benjamin believed that if they could work together a little better, even if they were facing the bishop of the gate, there would be nothing to fear.

But......

Speaking of the church, Benjamin couldn't help but think of the church's men.

Both the Cleanser and the three priests he had met before seemed to have mastered a technique of joint spell casting. They can recite spells together and use the same magic, and with it, the power of the magic will become extremely powerful.

Benjamin, of course, was also a little red-eyed.

If only they could learn this skill, the more than 20 mages here would definitely be able to take their combat effectiveness to a new level.

While Benjamin's thoughts were running away, the attacking wind wolves were quickly eliminated by the mages.

When the last wind wolf died, they relaxed their nerves, got out of the fighting state, and began to clean up the battlefield with a smile - they still had to deal with the corpses of these wind wolves and the traces of the battle in order not to expose their route.

At the same time, relying on the book "Introduction to Potions", Benjamin gradually learned what different Warcraft materials do. Like the flesh of the Wind Wolf, which can be used to refine potions that enhance agility, it is a very common ingredient, and although it is not very valuable, it is quite useful.

Therefore, encountering waves of Warcraft on the road also brought them a lot of gains. Their reserves of Demonic Beast materials were enough to refine countless potions.

As for the study of potions, in the process of their journey, they finally made progress.

Originally, Benjamin thought that after giving out "Introduction to Potions", with the curiosity of these people, someone would immediately come over to Benjamin to ask for materials to try. However, what he didn't expect was that the books had been passed through the hands of several people, but no one came to him.

This made Benjamin a little worried at first.

Learning potions is quite demanding in terms of talent and interest, and he doesn't know which of the more than 20 people is interested in this aspect, and how many can really learn it.

If none of these people can learn it, then isn't this book for nothing?

With this feeling of some worry, Benjamin also began to think about whether to bring in some potion mages with this talent to fill in the gaps for the whole team, lest there be no place for so many Warcraft materials.

Thankfully, his fears didn't come true, and this morning, a mage finally came to him with Potions Primer.
