After sending off the envoys from both countries, Benjamin forced the queen to write a letter of appointment, temporarily handing over the management of Ikor to the president. And with the Queen's warrant, they were able to restore Ikor's administrative system to normal.

The president was busy with this, and Benjamin didn't bother to look at the dense small print on the documents. He knew nothing about the details of Ikol's administration, and he knew that many local officials were even hostile to him.

- After all, there are so many beams, it is difficult for him to enter this country.

We can only wait for the president's action.

After this series of events, Benjamin still believes in this old mage. This person, like him, has less power desire, and is more of a sense of responsibility to other mages in his heart, pursuing a better magical environment.

They will try to steer Ikor's situation in the direction that is most beneficial to the mage.

In this way, temporarily staying in the royal palace room in Regina, Benjamin opened a book.

"It's interesting, those mages actually did so much research and hypothesis on runes, and even summarized a book. The system commented on the book.

There was no doubt that the huge barrier of the Conservation Academy at that time was the credit of the runes, and Benjamin was also very interested in it. However, due to the rush of time, Benjamin did not have time to listen to the reports of those mages, so he had to accept this improvised compilation of "Rune Primers" and rush to Ikor with the queen.

And now, Ikor's affairs are in the hands of the guild leader, and he can also take the time to see what new progress those mages have in their research on runes.

Turning the pages of the book, Benjamin found that the contents were rather cluttered. This is not a rigorous theoretical book, but more like a collection of research drafts. Benjamin had no choice but to flip through it quickly and find out what was more valuable.

“...... Using special materials, the runes are engraved with a certain law and stimulated with spiritual power, which can achieve the effect of multiplication. ”

Seeing this, Benjamin finally lifted his spirits.

This should have been the source of the barrier that blocked Ikor's army at that time.

The discussion on this aspect is actually not complicated in the book. They didn't seem to have come up with any patterns, but instead discovered a peculiar combination of several runes, so they deduced that there might be more.

Like the enchantment at the time, the rune research team named it "Rune Formation?Defense".

Using a special potion mixed with the blood of Kuheten and Cloud Bat, you can draw runes on the ground that represent defense, affinity, and stationary, and combine them with the pattern of a six-pointed star to form a continuous and extremely powerful defensive barrier.

- This is the result of countless experiments based on their experience in Potions and Magic Props.

The scope of the defensive barrier is very wide, and as long as it is overlapped and arranged in a certain regularity, a place as large as the academy can be completely laid in. When the academy mages fought the Ikor army in the town, the students helped draw the formation in the academy, and finally held the academy.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but nod.

Rune formation......

Originally, he thought that the development direction of rune research would be the mage's own inward exploration, but unexpectedly, these people set their sights on a more practical application level.

It's a discovery that could change the world. The book says that as long as this formation is drawn, it has a shelf life of at least one month, and the price of materials is not expensive, but the effect is excellent. And more importantly, as long as this thing is drawn, it is enough to activate the maintenance of spiritual power to ten mages.

They hadn't tested the defensive limits of the rune formation, but it was terrifying enough to be able to withstand the bombardment of high-level magic, right?

It's hard to imagine how much impact this thing would have on the world if it became popular.

What's more, the book also stated that the "Rune Formation?Defense" should only be a rudimentary-level formation, and there should be more and more powerful rune formations waiting to be discovered by them.

If we really got to that point, what would the world look like?

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Anyway, this thing ...... They must keep it a secret and never divulge it to the church. The church may also be studying runes, and if they find out, things will get troublesome.

In addition to the rune formation?defense, they also found several rune combinations, which were summarized as formations about imprisoning living creatures and aggregating elements. The application effect should be good, but it still needs to be experimented, and the practicality is definitely not as good as the defensive formation, so Benjamin didn't look at it in detail.

In addition, all that is left in the book is the various conjectures of the mages about runes.

"This thing...... Unreliable, draw a fork, so that they don't waste time. This thing...... You can ask them to look into it. And this...... What the hell? Draw a fork ......."

The system uses its intuition to judge the mage's rune conjectures one by one. In the end, most of the conjectures in the book were mislabeled by it, and Benjamin drew a cross in the back, ready to hand it over to the mages when he returned, at least to save them a few detours.

Dozens of crosses were drawn, and this body from the pure blue world saved them at least hundreds of years of time.

Benjamin was also relieved.

Eventually, at the end of the book, the mages offer their own thoughts on the connection between runes, magic, and spells.

"We believe that the magic being used today is most likely just a broken version. Spells are like the product of human beings who have made runes sound one-sidedly with their own narrow understanding. True magic belongs to runes, and this will be an important direction of our research in the future. ”

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

A mutilated version of magic, real magic is rune...... Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that the biggest difference between his meditation style and other mages was that other people's meditation methods were all mutilated versions, while he practiced the whole text.

So, if we continue to study, will one day, everyone be able to meditate in a similar way to him? Then the average level of a mage will be many times higher than it is now......

But if this were the case, his peculiarity would seem to be worn out.

In any case, Benjamin was happy with the result. I don't know how many years from now, at least now, he can use this advantage to be hundreds of years ahead of the times, and that's enough.

And the study of runes will definitely become a weapon for them to face the church in the future!

After reading the entire book, Benjamin closed it satisfied. He walked out of the room, ready to see what was going on in the palace, but unexpectedly, he happened to bump into someone looking for him in the corridor.

"Lord Benjamin, there's a guest out there who wants to see you by name!" said one of the servants, pausing and hurriedly saluting him.
