When Benjamin heard this, he was also embarrassed in his heart.

In the initial plan, there was no research group on the "Rune and Elemental Plane" at all, and he just wanted the academy to keep a strong mage in the academy yesterday to prepare for his magic vacuum period. And now, looking at the old mage's meaningful smile, he felt that the other party had discovered this.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that Wallis has arranged his accommodation, and he casually walks around the academy and asks, and he knows that Benjamin is sneering at him.

But...... Looking at the old mage's appearance, he should not be angry.

"Actually, I'm the only one who knows anything about the elemental plane and runes. Thinking so, Benjamin simply told the truth, "We don't have any foundation, and the current academy is not very well staffed. Of course, we're going to do this research, but I'm afraid not now. ”

The old mage didn't care, but asked, "How did you learn about the elemental planes and runes, and how much do you know about them?"

Looking at his eagerness, Benjamin also realized why the old mage didn't mind his big words at all.

Because these two things are so important.

From the previous conversation, we know that many people, represented by the old mage, are experiencing a terrible bottleneck. Their magic had come to this point, and they had lost their way forward, and only runes and elemental planes could save them.

Thus, Benjamin became their only hope.

"Okay...... There are some things that I can't say very easily, but the elemental plane, I have entered many times in spirit form. Thinking of this, he spoke.

"You've been in?"

The old mage seemed to have heard some shocking news, and his face was full of shock.

Benjamin nodded.

Seeing this, the old mage seemed to think of something, took a deep breath, and slowly recovered from his surprise.

"Dean Benjamin, it may be a bit presumptuous, but could you please take a moment to discuss these matters with me in detail?" he asked solemnly, after a moment's hesitation.

Benjamin smiled: "Of course it's fine. ”

So, they found a free classroom and sat down. Benjamin gave the old mage a rough description of what he had seen several times when he entered the pure blue world.

When the old mage heard this, he nodded and pondered, and from time to time he took out a pen and paper to write something, looking thoughtful.

"Master Benjamin, Your Excellency can enter the elemental plane so frequently, and the way you learn magic must be completely different from those of us who are ordinary people, right?"

After listening, the old mage thought for a moment and suddenly said this.

Does he also know the space of consciousness?

Benjamin thought so, and didn't intend to hide it, nodded his head, and said, "That's right, it seems that it can't be hidden from Your Excellency's eyes." ”

"No...... I was just searching for clues and found something about the fourth generation of popes. At the time, I thought it was a meditation method reserved for magic, but now it seems that magic is the same. ”

Benjamin was interested: "What did you find?"

When the old mage heard this, he sighed and said, "The fourth generation of the Pope...... That guy fought all his life, and he was so strong that he slaughtered an unknown number of mages in that era. The Church has kept this information well hidden, and I just know that his power has to do with the elemental plane. It is said that he built a gap space in his spiritual world, which could connect the real world and the elemental plane, and he drew power from the elemental plane, which is why he became so invincible. ”

Benjamin didn't shake his head.

His space of consciousness ...... It seems to be the same thing.

I just don't know if the pope has experienced such changes as character merging and spatial mutations, and if so, how did he deal with it?

It would be nice to have some experience to learn from.

"Your Excellency has been pursuing the Elemental Plane, but ...... What the hell is it in your opinion? Do you think it can really solve the bottleneck you're experiencing?"

The old mage replied with a grimace, "In my opinion, the elemental plane is the source of magic. ”

"So you think that all the elements in this world come from another dimension, maybe there was some accident thousands of years ago, like the gods in the legend, the elements flowed in, so magic was born?"

The old mage nodded.

Benjamin touched his chin.

This speculation...... In fact, it is the simplest and most straightforward assumption, but after those experiences in the pure blue world, he always feels that things are not so simple, and the elements did not flow into this world because of some accident.

He felt that there was a profound connection between the elemental plane and this world.

Besides, he didn't think that there really were "gods" in the elemental plane.

"Think about it, the scene of that priest's attack yesterday was some kind of divine descent. The old mage seemed to be in an interest and continued, "There is clearly another will in his body, and one that absolutely suppresses us. And only you can resist ...... Obviously, that will came from the elemental plane. ”

"I agree with that, it does come from the elemental plane. Benjamin nodded his head and said, "But...... I don't think that will is God. ”

Just kidding, if it was really a god, how could it be so easily driven away? If it was a god, they wouldn't be alive now, and the entire magic academy would have been razed to the ground a long time ago.

In the end, there is even a phenomenon of two wills competing with each other in the priest, which is not like what God would do.

Therefore, he prefers to have consciousness in the elemental plane, but that consciousness is only some indigenous life that exists there, just another creature, not at the level of God.

"Master Benjamin, God is just a title. The old mage smiled and said, "We can replace it with something else, but on the side of the church, they must think that the will from the elemental plane is God." ”

"Then this god is too undignified. Benjamin pursed his lips and said, "And there must be more than one will there, and perhaps even as many as ants, are there so many gods in this world?"

And he didn't say it...... It was he who accidentally stole one, in his consciousness space.

"Well, let's put this theological discussion aside for a moment and talk about practical things. Before the other person could speak, Benjamin sighed and continued, "How much do you know about runes?"

When the old mage heard this, he didn't say anything more, but took out a yellowed piece of parchment from his pocket.

He slowly spread the parchment on the table.

"This is what I found in one of the ruins, and what is depicted on it should be runes. "I don't know what kind of power these things have, but every time I trace them, I can feel my mental power vibrating faintly." ”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and looked over the parchment.

There were about six or seven runes on it, and among them, he saw a familiar triangle. The triangle was drawn squarely, but a small opening was missing in the right corner.

It's not ......

The old mage also noticed Benjamin's gaze.

"Master Benjamin, this rune is one of the most basic runes, and the meaning it represents should be the water element. He pointed to the triangle and said. 10
