This is an invitation to a mage's gathering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Benjamin never thought that he would get such a thing in such a situation.

Does this thing work for him? No doubt about it, it certainly works. However, the way it came to Benjamin made Benjamin doubt the authenticity of this thing.

It was obviously an invitation to the mage, but it fell into the hands of a gang boss. However, the gang boss accidentally let Mercenary Ricky's friend steal the invitation. So in the end, the invitation fell into Benjamin's hands by coincidence, just in response to his needs.

He also had to wonder if there really was such a mage gathering?

"Is this thing real? No...... What kind of trap is it?" he asked slowly, staring at Will the thief.

Will was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know about this, but the boss of the 'crow' really values this thing. I've heard that he bought it from another mage for a lot of money. I put a lot of effort into stealing it, and it shouldn't be fake. ”

Benjamin still felt strange and asked, "He's a gang boss, why did he pay a lot of money to buy an invitation to a mage's meeting, and what's the use?"

Hearing this, Will showed a surprised expression.

"This is an invitation to the mage's meeting, no wonder ......" It seemed that he didn't know how to read, but now he knew what was written on the invitation, so he suddenly realized and said, "That guy is famous for wanting to have a relationship with the mage." But the mages have always been on high and don't even have to look down on mercenaries, let alone us rats in the dark corners. ”

...... Relationship with the mage?

Benjamin couldn't help but think of the flattering actions of a few big men just now. If that's the case, then the whole thing makes sense.

It's just that, listening to Will's words, Freden's mage status seems to be quite different from Ikor's side.

It's kind of interesting......

"Are all the mages here arrogant?" he asked, thinking of this.

Will and Ricky looked at each other and nodded a little dazedly.

"yes, I thought you knew. Ricky scratched his head and said, "I was surprised when I first met you in the valley. The mages are very withdrawn and strange, and generally look down on petty mercenaries like me. Even those mage groups who have registered with the association, unless they have a mission, they don't like to act with others, and they go alone all day long. It's really rare to see a mage like you huddled together. ”

...... Are all the mages of Freden like this?

Suddenly, Benjamin fell into deep thought.

He was a little confused as to how this strange discrepancy came to be. Ikor's mage feels very close to the people, at least the two of them act, and the general public will not make a fuss when they see it. But as they say, Freden's mages are more arrogant, have a high status, often look down on people, and don't like to huddle.

The division of the empire has been less than ten years, and the mages with the same roots and origins have already produced such a division, which is indeed a rather strange phenomenon.

...... Is it because of the Mage's Guild?

Thinking about it, Benjamin felt that this must be the result of a combination of factors, and it may also be related to some insider stories when the empire was divided, which is difficult to delve into.

So, he picked up the invitation card in his hand again.

He didn't know if the invitation was true or not, but if it was, given the mage's reclusive nature, such gatherings must have been held very rarely, perhaps once or twice a year. If they miss once, they may have a hard time getting to the mage they recognize.

The date on the invitation is a week later.

Well......

There was plenty of time for him to get to know the huge city and then judge the authenticity of the invitation.

"Forget this invitation. So, he looked up at Will, and returned to his original intention, "I need to know everything about Riley City, every district, every street...... As long as you can provide me with such a map, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you. ”

Suddenly, Will was not surprised, but showed a somewhat excited expression.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll get it for you in an hour!"

With an excited look, Will turned around and walked into the room in a hurry. Then, there was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets, like a husky being thrown into a warehouse full of things.

Seeing this, Benjamin had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, find a chair in the living room, and sit down.

He could afford to wait for an hour.

"Your Excellency, don't be surprised. Ricky scratched his head with an apologetic expression, and said, "Will, although his hands are not very clean, he has done a lot of bad things, and he often plays tricks, but ...... He's actually a good guy. ”

...... I get tattoos, smoke, drink, swear, but I know I'm a good girl?

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't mind if he's a good guy or not. What's more, "good person" itself is a false proposition, and if you ask yourself, he doesn't think he is a good person.

More often than not, it's much easier to judge whether someone is useful or not than to judge whether a good person is good or not.

"You friend...... He seems to be very good at stealing?"

"This ...... It's a little bit bad, but it's the only way he's going to survive on this. Ricky seemed a little embarrassed, but replied anyway, "He did steal a lot of things, gold and silver treasures, and even a mage dared to do it." It's just that when people come to the door, he can't do anything but move from place to place, or he will be beaten and then return his things. He is still alive, in fact, he is blessed by God. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

It's true that he's not a good guy, but ...... Maybe a useful person.

In this way, for the rest of the time, they waited patiently here, chatting about the situation of Riley City one after another, waiting for the completion of the detailed map.

Will was still on his word, and after about half an hour, he walked out with a parchment-like roll, and with a flattering expression, handed it to Benjamin.

"Well, if you can memorize the whole map, you won't be any different from a native of Riley. ”

Benjamin took the map and glanced at it. Confirming that the system had recorded the above contents, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, I will write it down word for word." ”

The map marked out in an hour is certainly not as detailed as an encyclopedia, but ...... It's almost enough.

He pulled out a dozen gold coins and handed them to Will as payment for drawing the map. Then, after asking a few more questions about the gangster "Crow", he said goodbye to the two, turned around, and left the remote house.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the hotel.

He approached Wallis and handed him the map, telling him to circulate it among the mages to make sure everyone was familiar with the city.

After that, he didn't plan to rest because he was born to work hard. As soon as he handed over the map, he turned and pushed open the door, and he walked back onto the streets of Riley City.

The system has memorized the map, and with its help, Benjamin's series of plans to settle here can finally begin in earnest.

The first thing to address is where they live.

Half an hour later, on the corner of a deserted street in the west of the city, in front of a large two-story house, Benjamin smiled and walked up the steps and knocked softly on the door.
