Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

...... The General wants to rebuild the Mage Guild?

Also, in a country where ordinary mages are prevalent, there will be a representative organization anyway. Once upon a time, that organization was the Mage Freemasonry, but after so many things had happened, the mages of Freden were a little at a loss for what to do.

In this case, if Stuart wants to control the overall situation, he really needs a stable mage organization to stand up and support him - just like when Freden founded it, the former king secretly supported the mage Freemasonry.

Magic has never been directly involved in politics, but it has always been a shadow of magic.

It's just that...... Benjamin didn't think he would be the mage he was expecting.

Although it sounds tempting to become the mage president of Freden, you can also increase your influence and power in a short period of time, and become one of the best people in this continent. But he wasn't one interested in power in the first place. At the same time, this position is also a constraint for him.

Agreeing to this invitation is tantamount to being tied to the other party, and will also be tied to Freden forever, helping Stewart eliminate dissidents and stabilize his rule. Benjamin doesn't hate the country, but he certainly won't stay here forever.

Someday, he will return to the kingdom of Hori.

"This ...... The stakes are high, and I feel like I need a little bit of time to think about it. ”

Although he already had the answer in his mind, Benjamin did not refuse on the spot.

The Prime Minister had warned him, and he had just seen it in the document - that if he did not agree, the General would get rid of him. Therefore, Benjamin can only use a little delaying tactics to delay the time.

"You can think about it, but the situation is tense right now, and we don't have much time left. Stewart said nonchalantly, "You are not the only mage in the country. If you can't give an answer within two days, I'll have to look for another skill. ”

Benjamin even smelled a hint of coercion in his words.

But, in his opinion, if you have someone else to look for, then you should find someone else!

The two of them teamed up to design him once, and if he didn't retaliate, he would have a good temper. Now with a little sweetness, I want Benjamin to bow down?

"I appreciate the high hopes of the general, but this is not something I can decide alone. I also have some fellow mages who must be consulted before making a decision. Benjamin replied very tactfully.

Stewart smiled politely, seemingly disappointed.

However, he still maintained his superficial kindness and said, "In that case, then you should think about it for a while." Give me an answer in two days, don't let me down. ”

Benjamin smiled: "That's nature. ”

Seeing this, Stewart had nothing more to say, so he turned his head and said, "Prime Minister, send Master Benjamin away." ”

The Prime Minister stood aside and nodded in agreement at the moment. Then he took Benjamin, accompanied by two soldiers, and walked out of the hall of the palace silently.

As they walked through the corridors of the palace, Benjamin thought the prime minister would speak up and comment on Benjamin's choice. However, he only remained silent and walked out of the palace without saying a word.

"Your Royal Highness, you can't run around......

Suddenly, halfway through, they heard the maid's anxious call again in the distance.

Benjamin was slightly stunned. I saw that the familiar little girl ran out of the corner of the corridor with a smile on her face. However, Benjamin is very clear that the church has long done something to the princess and made the princess a little abnormal. At the moment, this smile also looks a little oozing.

However, there was also a strange boy, who was with the princess, and ran forward giggling.

Seeing this scene, the prime minister's eyes couldn't help but change slightly.

"Didn't you say you couldn't let Her Highness leave the room, what are you doing?" he hurriedly motioned to the soldiers, stopped the two children running around, and then rebuked the maid.

"This ...... I can't help it, it was the little young master who took advantage of my inattention and released His Highness. ”

Hearing this, the prime minister glanced at the strange boy. The boy was stopped by the soldiers, looked a little frightened, and when the prime minister saw it, he immediately trotted and hid behind the maid.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But the princess's sister is now locked in her room every day, and she feels very pitiful. Prime Minister, don't tell Grandpa, okay?"

The prime minister smiled: "It's okay, just don't do this next time." With that, he left his reproachful gaze to the trembling maid beside him.

"I really can't ......help it," the maid argued.

"Alright, there are still guests, I'll settle this matter later, you can step down. ”

And so, the maid took the two children and left tremblingly. The prime minister looked at their backs with a thoughtful look.

Watching this scene, Benjamin's expression was a little subtle.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. He suddenly spoke, and asked casually, "That little boy looks a little raw, I don't know whose child it is?"

The Prime Minister looked back and said with a smile: "It's General Stewart's grandson." ”

I see......

Suddenly, Benjamin knew in his heart.

"General Stewart...... This grandson must be taken very seriously. He nodded, meaningfully.

"Of course. The prime minister also replied seemingly chatteringly, "When people get old, they always want to save something for their juniors." I also hope that Venerable Benjamin will be considerate of this mood. ”

Benjamin smiled but didn't say anything.

Is it really just for his juniors? Looking at the look on the throne of Stuart, I am afraid that his own desire is also a very important reason......

However, he did not say anything more, but followed the prime minister and left the palace.

The Prime Minister put him in a carriage.

"Master Benjamin, the carriage will take you back to Riley City, so you won't have to travel on your own. Finally, the Prime Minister said goodbye to him and watched Benjamin leave.

Probably because there were many eyes and ears in the palace, he never said anything to Benjamin, and Benjamin also felt a little regretful because of this. However, as soon as he got into the carriage, he found a letter under the seat of the carriage.

The carriage departed. Benjamin looked at the letter, then looked back at the departing palace and raised an eyebrow.

Seemingly...... The Prime Minister left everything he could not say in the letter.

He immediately opened the envelope and looked at it.

"Master Benjamin, I'm sorry you intend to decline the General's invitation. The president of the Mage's Guild is a good position, but with your ambitions, you probably don't want to be tied to it. That being the case, I sincerely recommend that you leave Fredon. Things will soon happen, and the General will use Her Royal Highness to secure her rule and then deal with pressure from Ikor and Carretus. There could be war, and I believe that none of us wants such a thing to happen. ”

"Whatever you decide next, don't forget that I'm still optimistic about you. I'm very sorry that I used your Excellency. Someday, if you return to Shelly, I hope to spare my life. Therefore, I am here to lend a helping hand to you, hoping that Your Excellency will not hold a grudge against us in your heart...... Or don't hold a grudge against me, you can hate the general, it's all his idea. ”

"There is no need to doubt my intentions, I am not as ambitious as the two of you, the only thing I want is that no matter how many people change on the throne, I can still keep this prime minister. ”

After reading the letter, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.

It's really slippery......

He didn't even know when the prime minister had found a gap in writing such a letter. It's just that in the face of such a letter, even if Benjamin was dissatisfied with the prime minister, he was embarrassed to hold a grudge again.

Probably this is the other party's way of survival.

The carriage rumbled along, and soon left the city of Shelly, and slowly drove towards the city of Riley in the afterglow of the setting sun. Benjamin sat in the car, destroyed the letter, looked at the red sun on the horizon, and fell into deep thought.

There may be war...... Is it?

He didn't mean to get involved in secular wars. It's just that in such a chaotic situation, how to find one's own direction is a question worth pondering.

There is no doubt that the church was really expelled from Freeddon. Maybe they will come back in the future, but at least for now, there is no need to be anti-church in this kingdom.

The entire rebel organization will probably fall apart if it loses its purpose, not to mention the General's idea of rebuilding the Mage's Guild. Benjamin speculated that the mages who fought alongside him would soon become the backbone of the new mage's guild, helping the generals to solidify their rule without their knowledge.

Benjamin can tell them the truth so that they don't get deceived and make cattle and horses for Stewart. But correspondingly, he is openly opposing the general, and there will inevitably be another fierce conflict between the two.

...... Is he really going to stay in Fredon and fight Stewart?

But if he leaves, where will he go?

They were wanted in Ikor and had to go into hiding. And the essence of Carretus has actually been controlled by the church, but it has not been seen in the open......

Wait a minute.

At that moment, Benjamin seemed to think of something.

He didn't want to fight the general, but he wanted to fight the church.

In the kingdom of Hori, the power of the church is too strong for him to fight for the time being, but in Caritus...... At least, the church is forbidden on the surface, and the mages have not been hunted down, unlike the kingdom of Hori that has no respite.

What's more, the church was slapped by the general and the prime minister, and died a little quickly. Benjamin had just killed a bishop, and he hadn't done it yet, and he wanted to continue working in the church.

And since that's the case......

There was no church left in Freden to do for him, so he would run to another place and go back to the church.

Thinking like this, Benjamin suddenly felt much clearer in his heart.

If you don't know what to do, then go to church!

At that moment, he turned his head to look out the window in the direction of Carretus, and suddenly showed a malicious smile.

"How many lifetimes have you been suffering from such a neurotic in the church?" the system couldn't help but burst out and sighed in a sympathetic tone.
