Chapter 360: Declaration of Free Magic
Benjamin flew all night without sleep, arriving in Riley City at noon the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, he was prepared that his name and portrait would definitely be affixed to the city gates for pedestrians to see. He even thought that Aldrich might issue a ban and seal the city of Riley, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
However, he found that he was thinking wrong.
The city of Riley was as lively as ever, and there was nothing unusual at all.
With doubts in his heart, Benjamin disguised himself again, entered the city, and inquired around the city. It is strange that such an astonishing news of the king's death was not heard at all in the city.
How so?
It's already noon the next day, and the world's information transmission is not so slow. As one of the most bustling cities in Freeddon, there shouldn't be no reaction here.
Don't...... Hidden from Aldrich?
Benjamin thought about it and thought it wasn't impossible. At that time, the situation of the royal palace was in chaos, and the strongest person present was Aldrich, who was likely to take control of the palace and then block the news of the king's death.
After all, the king's identity is the most crucial key to the church's plan.
Nine times out of ten...... This guy wants to sit in the palace himself, seal the news of the king's death, announce that the king is sick or something, and then act as the ruler, at least control the situation, and don't cause Freden to split again or something.
After that, he may be free to deal with Benjamin.
Thinking of this, Benjamin also nodded.
Although there is no evidence, if no national mourning for the king's death is issued in a few days, then his conjecture can basically be said to have been verified.
However, Benjamin was not relieved by this.
Kill the king in order to disturb the situation in Fredon and make Aldrich unable to control the country. And now, although the king is unable to show up, Freden is actually in the hands of the church. Those plans will drag on for a few years, but they will still be implemented.
He had to stop this.
With all sorts of thoughts in mind, Benjamin quickly found the code left for him by his mage. Eventually, twenty-three veteran mages took over in a remote abandoned house in the city.
"How's it going?" asked Benjamin.
"Nothing special. Wallis replied, "Everyone hid and showed no trace of themselves." As for the 150 men, we have already informed them separately that they will meet in an abandoned warehouse in the north of the city tonight. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he also nodded: "Good job." ”
How to deal with these 150 people is already a rather difficult problem at the moment. They have just been recruited, and there is no cohesion at all, and it is probably a little difficult for them to follow Benjamin and the superiors.
However, if they were to be disbanded like that, Benjamin also felt a bit of a pity.
What to do......
Benjamin fell into deep thought. Seeing this, the other mages also looked at each other. Eventually, Wallis spoke, interrupting Benjamin's thoughts.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked, looking confused.
Benjamin came back to his senses and sighed as everyone looked at him.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, telling everyone everything he had known in the past few days - the Church was behind the control of the Mage Freemasonry, and wanted Freden to become the next kingdom of Horry, the death of the king......
After listening to these news, even if the receptivity is as strong as theirs, they can't help but be stunned one by one, and they can't speak for a long time.
“...... Teacher, did you really kill the king?"
Benjamin nodded and said, "He's completely fallen over to the side of the church." If he continues to live, we will never have a day of peace to live. ”
Leila showed a look of envy and said, "It's amazing, it seems great to be able to kill the king." ”
“......”
Andy took a deep breath and looked a little uneasy: "They're definitely going to get revenge." What are we going to do? Are we going to start running again?"
When the other mages heard this, they all looked at Benjamin with questions, obviously concerned about this issue as well.
Benjamin shook his head.
"We're not the half-mages we used to be. He smiled and patted Andy on the shoulder, "What's more, the king has just died, and they must be busy." As long as we act carefully, they can't do anything to us. ”
Hearing that there was no need to flee again, everyone nodded happily.
"How good is that Aldrich?" Joanna looked a little unconvinced, "Why don't we just find a bunch of people and just kill him?"
Benjamin shook his head with a smile and said, "It's that simple." If you really want to talk about group battles, he definitely has more people under him than we do. What's more, simply killing him will not help the current situation, but may put us in opposition to the whole country. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "We've got to beat him." ”
"Defeat him?" everyone was confused.
"Aldrich represents the power of the entire Mage Freemasonry and the pawn planted by the church in Freden. Benjamin nodded, and continued, "We're going to have to defeat him once and for all, destroy their foundation in Fredon, and make it impossible for them to get back up." Otherwise, everything will happen again. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
"This ...... Sounds like a lot harder than killing that Aldrich. ”
Benjamin continued to nod.
The difficulty is indeed quite high, but after the surprise on everyone's faces, they don't seem to be so afraid.
"Tell us what to do. Augustine asked, and everyone nodded, their eyes shining with determination.
Benjamin smiled, slapped his fist, and said, "First of all...... We need to make sure that the whole of Freden sees the true face of the Mage Freemasonry, especially the Mages. ”
In this way, with his concluding words, the secret meeting came to an end. The crowd left, hid in all corners of Riley City, and began to prepare for the next step with Benjamin's words as a guideline.
They began to write a booklet.
Originally in the Kingdom of Hori, the mage version of the Bible that Michelle threw to Benjamin touched him very much. That's not just a beginner spell book, it tells another version of the origin story. What's more, the book passed on magic in the kingdom of Hori, arguing that magic is not a sin, but a talent worthy of respect.
The mages in Freden had been slacking off for too long and needed a different booklet.
Benjamin decided to name it the Free Magic Manifesto.
