It is really hard to imagine the mental process of a priest who has a strong faith to come to the mage's territory as an emissary and have to talk to them in a low voice about the conditions of their troubles. Benjamin is also curious whether there will be struggles and contradictions in the hearts of these people, and there will be dissatisfaction with Grant.

Their beliefs...... Is it really not going to waver?

However, the priest's face changed, and he said without hesitation: "Claude Liese is disrespectful to God, and His Majesty the Pope has put him to death, which is the highest respect for God." ”

"That'...... Don't you know that the previous royal capital was burned at the stake and that big water ball?" Benjamin did not give up, and continued, "Your current pope was almost tied up and burned to death for being a man, but he found me to be a substitute for the dead. Can you accept this kind of pope?"

"It's all the temptation of the devil, His Majesty the Pope was deceived by the traitor, so he made a momentary mistake. And now, he has been cleansed from his sins and approved by God. ”

Benjamin shook his head speechlessly.

It's stubborn......

Looking at the priest's cold face, it was hard for him to guess what these people were thinking. But there is no doubt that their loyalty to Grant will be difficult to disintegrate.

And those who are not loyal...... About half a month ago, it was cleaned up along with the Fur family.

"Father-killing, teacher-killing, and forbidden crimes, this pope of yours is truly remarkable. Benjamin also knew that he would not be able to shake the priest, so he casually sarcastically waved his hand and motioned for the other party to leave.

He could go on to humiliate the other person, but so what?

Anyway, this guy has not been able to get in, his faith is difficult to shake, and it is impossible for Benjamin to return the key to the church. There is no point, then, in continuing this conversation.

The priest who pulled down his face to talk to the mage about the conditions was fresh, but he was already starting to get bored.

"Dean Benjamin, you should understand how much disaster you will be caused by doing this......" The priest took a deep breath, failed to lure him, and began to threaten with force again.

It's just that Benjamin doesn't bother to listen anymore.

". ”

With a strong wind, a large cloud of water vapor pushed the priest and threw him directly out of the door of the rector's room.

The priest slammed to the ground, embarrassed. And when he looked up, the door to the dean's room had been closed by magic, and the meaning of eviction was obvious.

At that moment, a considerable degree of anger appeared on his face, as if he couldn't help but tear his face, and directly blasted back to Benjamin with a magic spell. He clenched his fists under his sleeves and almost began to chant.

But...... He didn't do it after all.

With a face full of grievances, the priest left the magic academy in a huff. Benjamin's gaze stayed with him until he left Akademi, and finally retracted it.

- If that priest dares to do anything, Benjamin will kill him on the spot.

Thus, the first and possibly final peace negotiations between the Church and the Academy of Magic ended in humiliation. Benjamin also walked to the window and took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably comfortable.

Once upon a time, he could only wander around in various countries, constantly hovering on the edge of life and death. And now, he has the ability to negotiate terms on an equal footing with the church.

That behemoth also had to pay him three points.

Such a result still made him feel a little excited. However, he quickly calmed down and realized that the church might have some big moves ahead.

As the priest said before, spies hidden in various countries......

Truth be told, blocking the infiltration of the Church has become a top priority in the minds of all nations. But even so, their infiltration never stopped. Last week, Benjamin had heard that Ikor had found a secret mission and arrested dozens of people involved, but the two most important priests had long since disappeared.

This is a sign. If the church is a virus, then this is a casual little sneeze before a cold. The mission was very small, and the number of people affected was only a few dozen, but ...... The meaning behind it deserves to be taken seriously by the head of every country.

- Now that the church has cleared the civil strife, they are coming back.

Add to that the keys in Benjamin's hands, and who knows what they're going to do?

So, after the meeting, Wallis was quickly called to the dean's office.

"What's wrong?" he asked, nodding toward Benjamin, "that visitor just now...... And it's really surprising. If it hadn't been strictly checked, I wouldn't have let him in. ”

Benjamin shook his head.

"No, what I'm about to say has nothing to do with him. He bowed his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you think we should raise an army of our own?"

When Wallis heard this, he suddenly showed a shocked face: "This ...... Why do you think so?"

"First of all, the momentum of the academy business school is good, and we should be able to pay off the money owed to the countries very quickly, and have a very stable income. This is the basis on which the army is built. Benjamin tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "Second, the church is ready to move. In the event that they suddenly sent troops, the other three countries alone might not be able to withstand the army from the eastern crusade of the Hori Kingdom. ”

"However, our college is an international organization independent of each country, and we should not get involved in disputes between countries. Wallis frowned, "What will the king of Carretus think of building an army, and what will General Stewart, who is in charge of Fredon, think? I'm afraid that before the church comes, there will be civil strife on our side." ”

"I understand. Benjamin nodded and said, "So...... We can only do this in secret. ”

"How can an army of tens of thousands of people be kept secret?"

Benjamin shook his head and explained, "We don't have to build a large army in the conventional sense, we can't afford to feed too many people. And a special force like a few thousand people, I think it's very good, and can become the backbone of the fight against the church at a critical moment. ”

"But...... Thousands?"

Wallis didn't continue, but his expression made it clear: in a war with the participation of a mage priest, a force of a few thousand men really did not play a decisive role.

Benjamin, however, smiled a little.

"That's the old way of looking at war, and soon, everything will be renovated and changed. "You'll see a scene like this later—an army of a few thousand ordinary people can slaughter an army of priests." ”
