Chapter 548: Building a Magic Academy
After a few days, the most data-saving, ad-free site for mobile phones.
Ikor's army had no intention of fighting, and after a slight contact with Caritus's army, they were defeated and began a massive withdrawal along the border. The queen has never been seen in the front, but rumors of her violent death have been dispelled, as she is said to have left Carretus early and returned to her palace.
Of course, during her time in the palace, it was reported that she had always claimed that she was ill, and she occasionally appeared, and every time she showed up, her face was ugly.
However, the people of Carretus naturally don't care much about the queen. After about half a month of friction, the last of Ikor troops withdrew from Carites, and both sides issued proclamations declaring the end of the war and the return of refugees who had left their homes. Everyone rejoiced that they could finally live in peace as before.
"I thought this battle would be fought for a long time, His Majesty is really amazing!"
"It is said that a mage named Benjamin has been helping His Majesty, defeating the bishop from the kingdom of Hori, and fighting the mage of Ikor again and again before driving out all the enemies. ”
"It's amazing, if only we could learn magic......"
The deeds of the King and Benjamin circulated in the country and became the hottest topic throughout Caritus during this time. Of course, the people don't know the details, and they rely on their imagination to make up a lot of nonsense stories.
When Benjamin heard the story of his three tricks to scare the pope away, and when he raised his hand, ten bishops died at the same time, and he said it in a good way, he also felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
If only I was as powerful as the legend suggested.
However, it is also a good opportunity. He had fulfilled his promise to the King, and the King had begun to fulfill his promise to help him establish a true Academy of Magic.
The address was chosen in the plains north of Carretus, and the king allocated men and materials to start building the city directly. And the city that is built may become the first real magical town in the future. Whether it's people, infrastructure, transportation...... Everything is at the service of the mages who come to learn.
The location of the academy is not in the center of Caritus, but closer to the junction of the three kingdoms, far from the political center, and the grassland of Carretus is also on the edge of the college. Benjamin made a pact with the king that the Academy of Magic would be completely independent and not under the command of Carretus. The king did not break his promise, and insisted on this despite the opposition of many officials.
In a sense, the king also gave that place to Benjamin.
Benjamin was also impressed. In these years, there were many people crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and although the king was a little cowardly, he was still very trustworthy. Their deal was entirely verbal, and it was rare for the king to be able to fulfill it word for word.
And with political guarantees, Benjamin's Academy of Magic can finally be set up!
The academy is still under construction, but just looking at the scale, you know that it is a rather large complex. The king also gave as much support as he could in this regard. Materials, manpower, publicity...... Benjamin's strength alone would not have been able to build a city. And the king used these things in exchange for Benjamin's ability to help Carretus at critical moments in the future.
For example, the mages trained by the academy are given priority to introduce Glory and Carretus to difficulties, and the academy should do its best to support it...... They signed a new treaty. Benjamin wanted the Academy of Magic to become an international mage organization, not just a school. And as an international organization, they must establish an equal and independent relationship with each country.
In Freden's place, Border Desert City was also abandoned by Benjamin, and all the power was transferred to the Academy of Magic, which was under construction - they would have to deal with Freden in the future, and if they were unclear about the issue of Border Desert City, they would easily be caught by pigtails. And in such a small city, Benjamin didn't bother to care so much.
All the mages stationed in Border Desert City came to Caritus, and when Morris pushed his wheelchair and saw the academy under construction, he couldn't help but show a look full of emotion.
"You...... It really did. ”
Benjamin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you need to be so excited? Come on, you'll be the head of the Academy's Props Department in the future. ”
Morris was a little surprised and said, "It seems that you have a lot of plans for this academy." ”
Benjamin smiled: "Of course. ”
He patted Morris on the shoulder again, turned and flew into the sky, and dozens of water-form villains were summoned by him to join the busy construction team of the academy.
I don't know how much time it will take to build such a large complex with ordinary manpower, and Benjamin doesn't have that much time. As he said, the church was not destroyed, and those people hibernated in the distance, watching Benjamin's every move, and could jump out at any moment and pull them into the abyss again. Benjamin had to step up.
And using magic to join the construction has become their only option at the moment.
Levitation, Shadow Hand, Freeze...... Originally, there were a lot of non-combat magic, but under the pressure of this architectural demand, more than 100 mages under his command used their imagination to apply various strange effects to the construction, which quickly accelerated the construction progress of the academy.
The wood floated in the air on its own, and the ground suddenly sank into a piece of its own...... All kinds of strange scenes emerge one after another, and even ordinary craftsmen who come to work are no longer strange.
Benjamin's magic is more flexible and can be used more in construction. It's a pity that he can't cast biological-level intelligent magic, and those water-shaped villains must be commanded by him, otherwise, he alone will be able to build the academy.
It's a bit of a pity, but it's good at the moment. Benjamin estimates that with their efforts, the academy will be preliminarily completed in a few months.
During the unfinished period, the mages and the apprentices who came with them could only live in a makeshift camp on the edge of the construction site. The apprentices also joined the construction and learned magic at the same time, which can be regarded as their tuition for the first batch of future academies.
At the same time, they also sent some people to carry out propaganda among the people of Carretus and Fredon to further expand the student base. Of course, these students may still have to charge some fees when they are recruited.
Everything has just taken shape, and they still have to slowly explore the system of the magic academy.
In short, the construction of the academy is in full swing, and along with the victory over Ikor, it has become one of the hottest topics in the country.
