After meeting with the president of the Mage's Guild, Benjamin left Regina that day.

Search for freelance mages everywhere and spread the word about the Academy of Magic—this is the only thing he can do. Their relationship with Ikor is too stiff, and letting his men do it is probably just sending them to death.

"Hello, Master Claire, my name is Benjamin. Recently, Carretus was building a magic academy. Now the environment on Ikor is getting worse and worse, if you and some of your friends are interested, you might as well go over and have a look. ”

Benjamin...... Could it be the mage Benjamin who has recently made a name for himself in Fredon and Carretus?"

"It's okay, you don't have to ...... accidentally"

The process of persuading these mages was quite smooth, and Benjamin's fame played a very big role. At least, others admired his attitude, and showed great interest in the magic academy he described.

These people live in the remote towns of Ikor, far from the mage guild, and have a solid level of magic, and they are not bad. It would certainly be impossible for them to rush to the king with a slap on the table, but Benjamin would not have expected such an impractical thing.

"I'm not trying to get you all out of Ikor. I'm very grateful for you telling this news to the free mages you know. ”

Mages like this who are already very skilled may not want to leave, but those who have just emerged will definitely be interested in the concept of a magic academy.

Moreover, in order to survive, these free mages are actually very closely connected with the people, which is completely different from seclusion. The news will slowly spread from their mouths, civilians, mercenaries...... When they knew there was a place where they might also learn magic, how could they miss it?

And just like that, although Benjamin couldn't recruit at Ikor Ker, the students would run towards them themselves.

And in this way, the probability of angering the queen and causing the border to be sealed is also the lowest.

So, in just one week, Benjamin flew almost all over the territory of Ikor. As the largest of the three countries, if it weren't for the information provided by the president, Benjamin really couldn't imagine how much work it would have taken him to find here.

And in the end, he arrives at Hanktown, the town of Ikor closest to the kingdom of Hori.

"In the town of Hank, there are some of the best potion mages in the country. He has an eccentric temperament, and has opened a shop in town called 'Moore's Magic Shop', which he had better think twice before visiting. ”

This is the introduction in the president's notebook.

When he saw this, Benjamin's expression was a little strange.

This place...... He seems to have been.

At the beginning, he fled into Ikor through the Crusade Gate with more than two dozen mages, and the first town to settle was Hanktown. As for Moore's magic shop and the old man, Benjamin even made a deal with him.

- He helped the old man hunt for Warcraft materials in exchange for the books "Introduction to Potions" and "Introduction to Magic".

He didn't expect that the old man who opened the shop was actually recorded in the president's notebook, and he was also known as one of the best potion mages. Of course, not to mention anything else, Benjamin still deeply agrees with the fact that he has a strange personality.

Entering Hank's town and taking a deep breath outside the store, Benjamin walked in mentally ready.

"Hello, pls I have anything I can ...... for you"

Benjamin waved his hand, interrupting the clerk's questioning, followed the route he remembered to the back door, and knocked lightly.

A moment later, a deep voice came from within.

"What's the matter?"

"Senpai, I'm visiting you again. ”

There was silence at the door for a long time, and the old man's voice came impatiently: "You will come again next time." I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to see any messy people. ”

"But...... Don't you want to know about moving to the Mage's Guild?"

Suddenly, there was silence on the other side of the door. Then, with a faint wave of magic power, the door lock snapped open, and the back was slowly pushed open.

A smile tugged at the corner of Benjamin's mouth.

Really...... The old man still hated the Mage Guild as much as he did before.

He walked in slowly.

In the pink room, the old man sat on a chair. He raised his head and glared at Benjamin with fierce eyes, but he held the yellow and white flower cat in his arms, and gently stroked his right hand over and over the cat's back.

"Senior, remember me?" said Benjamin, who was not surprised, but said.

The old man frowned.

"You...... Who are you?"

Benjamin said helplessly: "My name is Benjamin, a mage from the Kingdom of Hori. Before, I helped you hunt the Dark Serpent of Warcraft, and I also exchanged "Introduction to Potions" and "Introduction to Magic" from you, do you remember me?"

The old man stroked the cat and thought for a while, and finally nodded. Immediately, he looked at Benjamin with a strange look.

"I thought you were dead. ”

Benjamin wiped his sweat.

It seems that this old man's news is far less than that of other free mages. He has done so many great things in the other two countries, but the old man has not heard of it at all.

It's probably not just because of the location.

"Thank you, I'm alive and well. Thinking so, he replied, "Not only that, but the infiltration of the Church into Fredon and Carretus, the coup d'état, and the invasion of Carretus were all solved by me. ”

After hearing this, the old man looked at Benjamin indifferently, lowered his head, and concentrated on his cat again.

“......”

Benjamin wanted to hit someone.

With his current fame, other mages at least had good words and smiling faces. And now, this attitude of almost ignoring has made him feel a huge gap.

- The old man's attitude was almost no different from his first visit.

"What a pure and unpretentious old man!" the system suddenly popped up, and said in its choking tone.

Benjamin shook his head helplessly and continued to say to the old man, "Getting back to the point, you should hate the Mage Guild very much, right?"

The old man looked up.

"Hate, those pieces of shit, what's worth hating them?"

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded, and suddenly showed an indifferent look.

"That's a pity. I had a good proposal here, and it might even be possible to dissolve the entire Mage Guild in an instant, and cease to exist. But since you're not interested, I'd better go. ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

“...... Slowly. ”

Eventually, the old man stopped him.

Benjamin stopped, turned his back to him, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Excellency is interested again?"

"Let the entire Mage Guild dissolve in an instant? What nonsense are you talking about? Stinky boy, that's not how bragging. The old man said impatiently.

Benjamin turned around, showed a lazy expression, and said, "Who knows, if your potion level is okay, then we can dissolve the Mage Guild in an instant." If your level is not good...... It's okay, you're just bragging. ”

After saying that, he made a gesture to leave again, and the old man was so angry that he put the cat down.

"You...... What are you going to do, give me a clear word. He sat up from his chair and stared at Benjamin with a frown, "How did the Mage Guild dissolve?

Seeing this, Benjamin finally put away the underwhelming look and showed a smile.

"Before I do that, I'll tell you what the Mage Guild is all about. ”
