An hour later, Benjamin hurriedly finished the books and came out of the special lending room, and he could no longer see Aldrich. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What a mysterious old man.

Although he didn't know Aldrich's identity, Benjamin guessed that he should be a typical old mage, with deep strength and transcendent status, so he came and went freely here, and casually invited Benjamin to join the mage Freemasonry.

――After all, this is the headquarters, so it's not uncommon for high-ranking people to hang out.

Therefore, Benjamin didn't think much about it, and since the other party was gone, he went back to the front desk and returned the book. And when he wanted to go to some places he didn't know what to do, he was stopped by the mage here on the spot.

"I'm sorry, the place in front is still being repaired, and it's very messy, so it's not open to outside mages for the time being. ”

Sure enough, there are some secret places......

Curious, Benjamin is also not good at asking for anything. Therefore, he nodded and did not push hard.

However, as soon as he turned around, he showed a secret smile in his heart, turned on the water elemental sensing method, and spread his gaze towards the forbidden place here.

It's forbidden to watch, but there's another way, isn't it?

Soon, he discovers a number of people in a strange room.

Wearing various colors of leather armor and carrying different weapons such as bows and arrows and broadswords, this is obviously a group of mercenaries. Benjamin was also quite surprised when he saw this, after all, the mercenaries in Xuedi City were really inactive.

In that small room, everyone sat in a group, as if listening to a mage talking to them.

It was a bald mage, about thirty or forty years old, with a sense of seriousness in his expression that was like a dean. He lectured at the mercenaries with a stern face, and from time to time he touched his shiny bald head.

Benjamin didn't feel it carefully, but for some reason, he felt that this person should be quite strong.

However, just as he was about to look away and look elsewhere. Suddenly, the bald mage's face changed, and he turned his head, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, and he looked at Benjamin's location, like the head teacher who suddenly appeared at the back door.

Benjamin chuckled in his heart.

Oops...... Another one who can find him.

At that moment, he hurriedly put away the Water Elemental Perception Method, took a step, and walked out without looking back. He had to get out of here quickly, and there was no time to snoop in more hidden places in the entire headquarters.

What bad luck......

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The last time I was caught using the water elemental voyeurism, it was at the Crusade Gate. After so much time, he was also a little lax, forgetting that the kind of person with stronger mental power could find him.

This is the headquarters of the Mage Freemasonry, and those with strong mental strength must grab a lot of them!

As soon as he stepped out of the gate with his front foot, he immediately heard a faint commotion behind him. It could be that the man chased after Benjamin's peeping eyes.

However, relying on the induction of mental power alone, it is impossible for the bald mage to know what Benjamin looks like. Therefore, Benjamin took a deep breath and left the place with a calm step and a calm demeanor like an ordinary mage who had left here.

And the bald mage didn't chase anymore.

And just like that, five minutes later, Benjamin was relieved to make sure nothing had happened.

"People have said that you are not allowed to look at things, so don't look around, and be careful of getting into trouble. The system came out very unceremoniously and taught a lesson.

“...... Yes, yes, yes. Benjamin replied reluctantly.

But what the hell are those people doing in the room?

Benjamin was still a little curious.

Forget it, it's probably because the Mage Freemasonry has some special needs, so it shouldn't be a big deal to hire some mercenaries to help them collect materials and explore ancient monuments or something.

To be on the safe side, he already didn't plan to get close to the Mage Freemasons anytime soon.

It took a lot of time to come and go. So Benjamin wandered around the city of Sherdy for a while, and then took a different route to the center of the city, where the palace was located.

-- It's time to meet His Majesty.

And so, half an hour later, Benjamin walked to his destination.

However, Freden's royal palace is very different from what Benjamin imagined the royal palace to look like.

Compared to Havenlite, the royal palace here is much smaller and does not have much ornate decoration. Well-trimmed flowers and plants spread out symmetrically in front of the gates, and the white walls are more solid than noble. The entire royal palace was not large, and it was not even as large as the villa on the outskirts where Mage Finch held a meeting that day.

Thinking about it, it has only been how many years since Freedon was founded, and it was built in that haste, so it is reasonable for the palace to take a simple and practical path.

However, the gate carved with ancient ornaments, as well as the guards patrolling back and forth, show a bit of the royal family's style.

- As soon as he walked nearby, he was stopped by a guard soldier wearing a white and blue uniform.

It's just that Benjamin was also prepared, and before the other party opened his mouth to ask, he took out the invitation letter, handed it to the other party, and said: "Hello, I am Benjamin, and His Majesty the King invited me to today's dinner." ”

The guard took the invitation and looked at it twice, then showed a respectful look and saluted Benjamin.

"Please come in, there will be a servant in charge of the introduction, just give him the invitation. ”

Benjamin nodded, withdrew the invitation, and walked over.

When he came to the gate, a middle-aged manservant stood there meticulously, as if he was the servant that the soldier said was using. Benjamin walked over, and before he could speak, the manservant bowed deeply and said, "Presumably, you are Master Benjamin, right?"

Benjamin nodded and handed over the invitation.

The manservant put away the invitation, turned around, and knocked on the bell by the door. Then there was a buzzing sound from inside the door, and the door, which seemed so strong that it couldn't even be opened by a cannon, seemed to be opened by some kind of mechanical operation.

"Master Benjamin, please follow me. ”

"Excuse me. Benjamin nodded and followed.

Led by the servants, he entered the royal palace. The interior of the palace is much more solemn than it looks from the outside, and the walls and carpets are dark, creating a solemn atmosphere, which is probably the so-called majesty of the royal family.

The hallway here was a bit complicated, and Benjamin followed the servant for a long time before he came to a door on the second floor. The servant turned, bowed to him, and spoke again.

"There's still an hour to start with the dinner, so you can take a break here now. By the way, please don't move around, I'll call you when the time comes. ”

Benjamin heard this, nodded, and walked into the room.

It's quite a grand room. It seems that even in the guest rooms, the royal family needs some extravagance and waste to show their strength.

Benjamin put down his luggage and lay down in the soft and comfortable bed, and couldn't help but stretch.

After a long day of walking, he was tired enough.

Of course, the servant's phrase "Please don't walk around" also piqued his curiosity and made him feel a little tempted to die. However, thinking of what happened to the Mage Freemasons just now, Benjamin still held back, and didn't even dare to use the Water Elemental Induction Method.

This is the royal palace! Who knows what mechanism is hidden?

So, after lying in bed for a while, Benjamin sat up, intending to put on his formal clothes and make some preparations for an audience with the king.

However, just as he was about to do so, there was a knock on the door.
