Chapter 388: The Tech Tree of Magic Items
Benjamin began to travel around the country non-stop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not only Rand City, but also in most areas where mages are active, there are gradually beginning to be rudiments of rebellion groups. Like Aiden and Norman, they have the reverence of Benjamin as a teacher, eager to join the larger revolt.
In this way, half a month later, more than a dozen cities ran down, and this spider-like underground resistance organization gradually took shape in Freden.
The veteran mages under his command became the contacts in each city, secretly tallying the list of members and handing them over to Benjamin. In order to prevent the list from being exposed, every ordinary member has no right to watch. Once all the lists were stored in the system's database, Benjamin destroyed them without leaving a trace.
In Benjamin's mind, the system is constantly organized, marking each member's name, information, and good at magic, and even listing a table for easy management.
"Congratulations, you are now the leader of the largest mage organization in all of Freden, with a total of four hundred and thirty-seven mages under your command, and their strongholds in thirty-two large, medium, and small cities. The system reported to him.
"It's two different things entirely. Benjamin shook his head and exclaimed, "Most of them don't even know who I am." I can command them, but if a conflict does break out, I don't know how many people will be left in it. ”
This kind of one-step growth did not make him feel that it was so remarkable.
But because of the church, they came together one after another, and it had little to do with Benjamin's ability. If the situation changes, this vast organization can also collapse in an instant.
Moreover, even with these 400 people, there is still a certain distance from confronting the church.
In these days, the Church, which had been stationary, slowly sent priests out again to continue their missionary work. Only this time, they've become much more low-key. There are guards on the perimeter of the residence to prevent the recurrence of the assassination. They also stopped pulling individuals and began to preach, and they were very careful in choosing their targets, and they walked around when they met a mage.
They seemed to be frightened by Benjamin. But Benjamin couldn't help but have some headaches in the face of such cautious action.
The connections of the various cities conveyed his order to disrupt the priest's missionary program as much as possible. But the church was already acting extremely carefully, and they couldn't expose themselves, so there was still too little they could do.
As a result, Benjamin was unable to focus on dealing with the church or to expand himself harder.
"Can you make this kind of magic prop that can transmit information over long distances?"
In Border Desert City, he and Morris met in the city lord's mansion and asked solemnly.
Maurice had already assembled the Desert Reclusive Mage and brought him into Benjamin's ranks. Although not all hermit mages were persuaded by him, the number of seventy or eighty absolutely credible was still very trustworthy.
At this moment, Benjamin simply handed over the border desert city to Morris to manage, let him select talented people from the commoners here, help train them to become mages, and at the same time, he could also make some magic props for Benjamin.
Just like now, the whole organization has just taken shape, and the transmission of information is basically a letter, which is not ideal in terms of efficiency or security. Other people's underground party can barely send telegrams, and Benjamin thought of the little beads that the church can transmit news, so he made this request to Morris.
"You mean the Vision. Morris thought for a moment and said, "It can transmit images and sounds in real time within a certain range, but it is a one-time consumable, and the range of action is only a few kilometers." You want to use it to communicate the whole of Freeddon, that's impossible. ”
Benjamin was a little disappointed when he heard this.
It turns out that the technology of the church has not advanced to that extent.
"That'...... Is there a replacement?" he asked, "There is no need to transmit images, as long as there is sound, the range is large enough, and it can be transmitted in half a day." ”
He also doesn't need a WeChat real-time video call, a simple version of the telegram is enough.
"That's fine. Morris finally nodded and said, "A magic item named 'Echo of God' by the church, which can achieve sound transmission over long distances. In fact, now, they use this to deliver messages everywhere. ”
Benjamin heard this and slapped the table.
Just kidding, the church is using it, how can they fall behind?
"That's it! You do as much as you can, and there will be someone to supply you with the materials, as long as you can make sure that every base in the country can communicate with each other. ”
Morris nodded in agreement.
"That's right...... Based on what you know about the Church's magic item technology, what else do they think we can use?" Benjamin thought for a moment and asked again.
Finally got a technical talent, and he had to play Morris's role in that area as much as possible.
Like the other party's production drawings and books, Benjamin has asked people to copy them for those in the team who are interested in this to learn. The current Border Desert City has gathered a lot of his logistics mages. Those who make potions, those who make magic props, and those who farm...... And then coupled with the gradual development of the civilian magic school, this remote town is like his logistics base camp at the moment.
It's just that it's still a bit whimsical to expect a sudden force here to provide him with a large number of talents.
Just like now, Benjamin has a need for magic props, and he can only ask Morris to make something for him in addition to teaching.
"It's a lot, but if you want me to do it, I definitely can't do it. Morris spread his hands, looking a little helpless, "If you have enough manpower and materials, I can equip each of you with automatically triggered life-saving props, flight acceleration props, range mana fluctuation sensing props, and mental power bonus props...... However, in this case, we still have to make trade-offs. ”
"Then let's do it first that can deliver the message, and the rest depends on the situation, and we will do it when we have time. Benjamin said with some regret, "But first, you give me a magic item that can fly faster, I need it now." ”
It's not that he's not satisfied with his speed, it's just that he's become the leader of the organization, and every busy thing is to run around Fredden, meet all kinds of people, find ways to strengthen the team's cohesion, get information, analyze the situation, and make decisions.
Therefore, the bonus of actual combat ability seems to be less important to him.
"I have one here, just give it to you. Hearing this, Morris took out a pitch-black wooden block from his bosom and handed it to Benjamin.
Benjamin took it and felt the breeze that spontaneously surrounded him, as if he had lost more than ten kilograms, so he nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you. He made a saluting gesture and smiled.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Morris shook his head, and suddenly, with some sighs, said, "Do you know? At first, I thought that you had come here with your strong personal strength and the spirit of not admitting defeat, but after joining you, I found that your mind is clearer than that of ordinary people. ”
“...... Is there one?" said Benjamin, smiling sheepishly.
"Yes. Morris nodded and said, "Most people will be confused for a while when they start doing these things, and gradually they will know what to do. But you...... You come up with a complete plan, and you have to worry about the details of every aspect, just like you learned these things somewhere. ”
Benjamin laughed but didn't say a word.
And in the heart.
...... No, he only learned it in history class.
At this moment, he realized that his biggest advantage as a traverser was not the system of the pit father, but the concept cultivated by modern education.
and the cheekiness that came out of practice.
