To the west of the steppe, near the junction of Carretus and Ikor, is a low, undulating mountain range. Benjamin's team set off from the prairie and flew west, entering the mountains a few days later.

Because the routes chosen are very remote, nothing happened along the way.

"In front of us is the first village, Angus Village, which is quite remote and backward. "The size of the village is very small, probably a few hundred people, all of them rely on hunting and farming to make a living, and there is little communication with the outside world, and it is a place that is more isolated than the grassland." ”

Benjamin nodded as well.

A place that is too remote is not good for the spread of influence. But...... It's definitely safe, and it's a good place to start.

Soon, the group flew into the air and saw the village on the mountainside. It was just noon, and the sun was shining. And in such a bright and clear weather, they flew directly into the air of the village and landed in the center of the village unabashedly.

- That's right, that's what they want to be like this.

More than a dozen people suddenly flew down from the sky, which was big news for the local villagers. Everyone walking on the street was stunned, and some even screamed out, causing everyone to poke their heads out and look at Benjamin and his party in amazement.

The whole village was taken aback by them.

"Yes...... Is it a mage?"

Fortunately, although the location is remote, the villagers' insight is quite good. Soon, an old man on the side of the street came out, his wrinkled eyes glaring at the boss, and asked tremblingly.

Seeing this, Benjamin also smiled.

Yes, they don't need to explain it too much.

"Yes, we are all a group of mages. He walked kindly towards the old man and asked, "Old man, are you the head of this village?"

The old man looked a little frightened, not daring to approach Benjamin, but nodded anyway.

Seeing this, Benjamin said, "You don't have to be afraid, we are not here today with no malicious intent, we just want to see if the people in your village have any magical talents? ”

When he said this, his voice was deliberately louder, so that almost all the surrounding villagers heard it.

For a while, the villagers were talking.

"Becoming a mage, really......" The old man shuddered and said in disbelief.

Obviously, Benjamin's previous singing and book distribution activities in major cities did not affect this remote mountain village. The church was so locked down that even the ballad could not be heard.

So, Benjamin nodded, and at the same time took out a copy of the Manifesto of Free Magic from his bag.

But what he didn't expect was that someone would recognize the booklet.

"Wait...... Isn't that a forbidden book? If you hide this thing, you're going to go to the gallows!" the young man on the side of the road suddenly cried out loudly when he saw this scene.

Everyone present was stunned again.

The old man looked at the pamphlet in Benjamin's hand and took a few steps back in horror.

Suddenly, Benjamin felt a headache. The influence of the Free Magic Proclamation did not spread here, and the decrees issued did not fall behind.

It's a bit of a hassle......

The surrounding villagers looked at them, and even recognized their wanted identities, thinking that they were some kind of "bandits", and their eyes had gradually revealed hostility.

"You, don't come here, we're very poor here, what are you doing here......"

Just as the atmosphere was getting stiffer, at last, the king took a deep breath and stepped out from behind Benjamin.

"My people, listen to me. ”

He suddenly took out a brilliant crown, put it on his head, and walked forward with his head held high, his expression calm and solemn, and his body exuded a natural royal temperament.

Once again, the villagers froze.

They didn't know what was going on in front of them, but ...... They suddenly felt that the middle-aged man wearing the crown in front of them was somewhat familiar.

The king walked over and took the old man by his feet. The old man was stunned for a short time, and then he was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

"Yes...... Is it His Majesty?"

The king smiled: "You remember me." ”

"How could I forget?" the old man's voice sounded very excited, "I once saw His Majesty from afar at the coronation ceremony nine years ago. And the portrait of His Majesty is also printed on the official documents sent by Glorey at all times, and can be seen at all times. Your Majesty...... Y-Why are you here?"

The king helped him to his feet and said in a loud voice, "I am here because Carretus has been controlled by traitors. They found someone who resembled me, put them on the throne and pretended to be me, and then took control of the whole of Carretus. I'm here to ask for your help!"

The whole village had gathered around the area, and when they heard the king's words, they couldn't help but look stunned.

This is...... Are you sure?

Seeing this, the king took out another badge from his waist.

"This is the family crest of the royal family, the glory of the Hesson family. If you still recognize it, you should understand what this pattern represents. His voice suddenly became majestic, like a general showing his severed head to a soldier.

The villagers looked at the wolf-shaped badge and, after a brief moment of shock, finally knelt down.

The royal family's coat of arms, for the entire Carrets, and even the Three Kingdoms of Ikorfredon, this shape is more than a simple wolf.

It symbolizes the glory of the royal family.

"See Your Majesty. ”

The villagers no longer have any doubts. Hundreds of voices stacked on top of each other and spread from the village to the sky.

"Get up, you have only been deceived by those shameless villains. The king put away his badge, waved his hand, and said slowly, "And now, these mages behind me are loyal ministers who are willing to help me restore my country." The villains slandered them as bandits and slandered the books they had written. But don't worry, because I'm the real king. ”

The villagers stood up and looked back at Benjamin and his party, the hostility in their eyes fading.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but nod with a little surprise.

As the head of a country, the king finally showed some majesty.

He inexplicably felt very relieved.

Of course, the timing was just right, and instead of being too busy rejoicing, he recited a spell and summoned patches of snowflakes in the sky. The snowflakes gently rolled up and fell on the villagers.

"Mom, it's snowing!"

The villagers looked at each other in amazement.

Benjamin also spoke at the right time at this moment, and said slowly: "This is the power of magic. It doesn't have to be powerful, and it doesn't have to take people's lives. It is just an instinct hidden in your veins, and the elements of heaven and earth will respond to the call and do incredible things. ”

Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, the villagers raised their heads, and their eyes were already full of longing.

"Quick, do any of you remember how that song was sung, just take it out now!" Joanna whispered, stabbing the mage next to her with her elbow.

"I ...... I forgot. Tony blushed, unable to come up with it.

However, whether or not there is a ballad made up by the troubadour has little effect on the moment. The king turned back and exchanged a "well done" look with Benjamin. Then, Benjamin smiled, looked at the villagers chasing snowflakes around him, and slowly spoke:

"So, do you want to learn this power?"
