After meeting with the boss of the "Silver Fox", Benjamin returned to his room in another inn and began to rethink his actions in Ikor as well.

In his original vision, Regina was also a transit point for free mages, and he could use this place to spread the word about the magic school. However, the "Silver Fox" boss swears to tell him that there is not a single wild mage here, and his plan will have to be ruined.

He had to leave Regina and contact the local mage somewhere else.

Where can I go?

Benjamin asked the "Silver Fox" boss to do a follow-up investigation, but he couldn't sit still. He was deeply impressed by the positive attitude of the other party. The structure of Ikor's circle of mages is still very old, and countless people have a talent for magic, but because there is no one to guide them, their lives may be wasted.

He really can't wait to have a parade of admissions publicity in Ikor to dig up all these potential stocks.

It's a pity that if he dares to do this, the queen will definitely explode with anger. Maybe she'd just blocked the border, and anyone who wanted to go to the Academy of Magic wouldn't be allowed to pass through, so Benjamin's efforts would be in vain.

He still had to keep a low profile.

Staying at the hotel in Regina, Benjamin waited until the next day. At the appointed time, the president of the Mage Guild arrived as promised and had a private meeting with him in his room.

"Dare to return to Regina in this limelight, you really have a lot of courage. ”

As soon as the president walked in the door, he said with a smile.

"What is there to dare to do. Benjamin smiled and said, "As long as the Queen doesn't know anything, I won't be able to do anything for a year and a half in Regina." ”

"Don't underestimate Her Majesty's intelligence-gathering skills, if you make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious. The president put away his smile, shook his head, and said, "Ever since she returned from the withdrawal of the Carrets, your name has become a forbidden word throughout the palace. The whole plan fell short, and Your Majesty really hates you. ”

Benjamin shrugged.

"I still have to thank Your Excellency for the reminder, otherwise, I am afraid that we would not have realized anything at that time. He then asked, "But...... What is the Queen's plan for, and what is buried beneath the Grove Palace?"

"The Valley of the Legendary God's Forsaken. The president replied, "But now it seems that the legend must be false." I don't know what Her Majesty was trying to get there, but she seems to have a certain talent for magic when she returned. ”

Benjamin was a little surprised when he heard this.

Magical Talents...... Can this thing still be made out of nothing?

For most people, mental power and elemental affinity are indicators of magical talent. They can be enhanced by various means of meditation, but their foundation remains the same. In other words, the worse the base value, the less effective the meditation will be.

From this point of view, everyone can learn magic, but most people meditate for months, and the accumulated spiritual power and elemental affinity can't even support them to use an entry-level magic. Therefore, these people are called "not talented".

The queen clearly belongs to this ranks.

Recalling what he had seen underground, with all sorts of strange points of light converging around the Queen, Benjamin thought for a moment and described it all to the President. When the president heard this, he was also very surprised.

"The gift of magic...... Is this the treasure left behind by the First Emperor?" muttered the guild to himself.

Benjamin didn't care about this, but asked, "Now, wouldn't the queen be able to learn magic and become a mage?"

If that's the case, then the situation is complicated.

"No...... Probably because you interrupted her, Her Majesty has a talent for magic and can barely use one or two spells. But no matter how she meditated, her spiritual power and elemental affinity would not change in the slightest, and this so-called talent was actually useless. ”

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It's good if you can't become a mage.

The previous queen was able to control so many mages, relying on potions, royal power, and public opinion...... and so on by a series of means. She's an ordinary person, that's why it's so hard to control. If she really becomes a mage, I don't know how arrogant she will be.

Moreover, Benjamin had thought about cracking potions and liberating the Mage's Guild. If the queen becomes a mage, even if he breaks the potion effect, she will still be able to control most of the mage's guild.

Fortunately, I interrupted her at the most critical moment.

"So...... Isn't there any way to crack the potion that the queen uses to control everyone?"

"I've been secretly researching this thing. The president's expression was a little helpless, "It's just that I'm not a potion mage, and I can't seek help from other mages, so I can't find a way to crack it." ”

Benjamin wasn't disappointed, but said, "Did you find anything?"

The president nodded, took a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote a few lines on it, and handed it to Benjamin.

"It's a recipe that I deduced based on a combination of information. I'm not sure if it's accurate, but ...... Even if there is a formula, I am afraid that only a master who has studied potions all his life can research the deciphering potion. ”

Benjamin took the recipe, looked at it twice, and put it away. He had never heard of most of the above materials, and the refining process was also very cumbersome, and he definitely couldn't see any results at his level.

But...... The dozen or so captives they left behind in Carretus, Benjamin's apothecary mages have been extracting their blood and researching ways to crack it.

Give them this recipe, it should help, right?

"By the way, why did you let Master Finch study this? Isn't he a well-known Potions Master?" Benjamin asked with some curiosity.

"Potions Master, do you know how long it's been since he's been refining potions himself? he's been so busy managing the industry since his shops spread all over Fredon that he doesn't have time to concentrate on his studies. The president shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, this recipe was made with his help." And he also said that this is the limit of what he can do. ”

"That's ......"

When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a little troubled.

Although the president looks like the Venchmaster has abandoned his main business and is heartbroken, no matter what, the level of the Vinci mage is definitely not low. A problem that even he can't solve, can those half-pharmacy mages under his command solve it?

"Master Benjamin, I didn't expect you to come this far when I helped you escape from Regina. Seeing this, the guild sighed and said, "Although I also hope that you can free Ikor's mage, it is not that easy. You're a promising young person with more amazing goals to accomplish and you don't have to go through too many experiences. ”

Benjamin smiled and shook his head.

"What are these words?" he said slowly, "If the Academy of Magic is to be truly established, it must be without the mages of Ikor. I'm definitely going to free them all. ”

The logic is simple, the queen could not have reconciled with him like General Stewart. Someday, they're going to have a dead one. And liberating the mages of all Ikor is the best way for Benjamin to defeat the queen.

And how could he give up?

More amazing goals...... What else could he do? If he wants to solve the church, he has to go through the land of Ikor too!

"In that case, let me recommend a few of them. The guild leader smiled with relief and said, "I took in a few students privately and did not join the Mage Guild. Ikor is a quagmire now, and it's not easy for them to continue to move here, so let them go to you. ”

"No problem, I promise they're safe and sound on my side. ”

The guild nodded, and said, "Besides, don't you want to win over more free mages from Ikor's side? I have a list here, and the more powerful free mages in the country are on the list." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out another pamphlet and handed it to Benjamin.

"Thank you. ”

Benjamin nodded gratefully.

This time, at least he saved a month of work to find out the news. Coming to see the president of the Mage Guild was indeed the most correct decision for him.
