Highly recommended:

After the interrogation, Benjamin quickly rushed to Fredon.

The organization that Master Randall explained was called "Shadows", located in Rand City, and had little contact with Benjamin. However, just from the information from the mage's mouth, this organization should still be very powerful, and it has considerable influence in the city and even in the entire Freden, otherwise the idea of establishing an academy would not have come up.

Because of this, Benjamin did not rush directly to the city of Lante, grabbed the leader by the collar and asked him if he wanted to die. He first went to Riley City, where he met with Master Finch.

"I don't have much time, so I'll have something to say. Benjamin said solemnly, "That 'Shadow' in Rand City is going to establish a mage academy, you should know it, right? ”

Clearly, his bluntness had startled the Mage Finch.

After a moment of silence, he came back to his senses, frowned and persuaded, "Master Benjamin, although you built the first mage academy, you can't ask for only you as a school in the whole world, right?

"I'm not interested in stopping people, I just want to deal with that bunch of guys. ”

As he spoke, he gave the secret to Mage Finch. After hearing this, Mage Finch also looked shocked and nodded solemnly.

"Leaking recipes...... This is a very serious state of affairs, and we really can't let them pass it like this. ”

Benjamin described the leak of runes as a potion recipe, which was what Vinci Mage was supposed to do. For them as potion mages, if it was the latest secret recipe researched, even if the king asked for it, it must not be easily revealed, let alone stolen by someone.

Therefore, he immediately understood the importance of the problem.

"Do you have evidence? If there is evidence, we can apply to the monarch and the local mage's guild for arbitration. With your reputation, the punishment they receive will be terrible. ”

Benjamin nodded, pulled out the note, and handed it to Finch.

It's just that after looking at it twice, Master Finch looked embarrassed and said, "This note...... The above information is a bit scarce, relying on these alone, there is room for others to refute, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict. ”

Benjamin touched his chin and nodded.

Expected......

He didn't have any hard evidence in his hands, and Master Randall would certainly not be willing to be their witness. At the moment, the laws and regulations in various countries are not perfect, and it must be difficult to punish these people through due process.

And he came here today, not to avenge his grievances, but to borrow some forces outside the rules to accomplish things that the current regulations can't do.

"Mage Finch, you should also understand that if there was no such thing, I would never have bothered to care about those messy mage organizations. "And since they did, I'd like to be able to use your influence in Freden to help me do something." ”

Mage Finch was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

"This ...... Not really, right?"

"Isn't it worse for them to do that kind of thing to steal research results?"

"Hmmm......"

Eventually, Benjamin used a portion of the Academy's potions production and sales rights in exchange for the other party's help.

"So what the hell are you going to do?" Mage Finch looked in a good mood after the deal was finalized, and then said, "Honestly, there's no point in spending too much energy on revenge against others. Once the formula is out, it will be difficult for you to seal it again, and the value of the research will quickly depreciate. ”

Benjamin nodded: "I understand. ”

"Then you ......"

"Just stare and see. Benjamin let out a sneer and said.

After this meeting, he left Riley City and went to Rand City in one day, although he already had a plan in mind, but he still needed to confirm the situation of the "shadow".

In fact, not everyone in the vast mage organization is involved in important decisions. Stealing runes should only be the responsibility of a few leaders, and Benjamin doesn't intend to take his anger out on everyone.

disguised as a disguise, he walked into Rand City, and through inquiry, he quickly found the stronghold of the "Shadow".

The stronghold is a rather large villa that has been converted into a meeting place and stands in the center of the city. It's an organization of about a thousand mage members, and it also has a certain number of subordinate mercenaries, even if it's one of the biggest forces in the region.

But...... Benjamin knew very well that if he really wanted to talk about active members, there should be no more than three hundred.

Walking near the stronghold, he didn't hear words that resembled a lot of "runes". The rune meditation method should not have spread yet, at least, most people have not heard the wind.

After thinking about it, he walked through the door.

"Hello, excuse me...... Do you need anything?"

The mercenary standing at the door was stunned when he saw Benjamin. A stronghold of a mage organization like this is usually used for internal communication, and it is obvious that visitors rarely come.

"Master Vinci sent me to see your leader. We have a big business to talk to him about. With that, Benjamin took out Master Finch's handwritten letter and handed it to the mercenary to look at.

The mercenary was a little confused, but nodded anyway, glanced at the envelope, and put Benjamin in.

In Fredon, the name of Master Finch is clearly better than that of Dean Benjamin.

Soon, Benjamin walked into the reception room and waited for the person in charge to arrive. Of course, in the process, he didn't forget to let the system scan the hidden files in the building.

"The Rune Meditation Method seems to have been compiled into a book by them, and there have been many copies. The system reported, "In a reception room like yours, there are several ...... books under the table in front of you."

Benjamin let out a cold snort.

It's already been that way......

No one came, so he vaguely read the contents of the book with the water elemental sensing method. Probably because of their research results, there are no changes, and even the collation is very bad, which is really unbearable.

If you want to steal, can't you steal better?

Benjamin couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Obviously, this organization is ready, and as long as it starts moving, it can set off a vigorous tide of rune ideas. Even if Benjamin were to kill the person in charge here, he might not be able to stop this.

But...... He's not going to stop that.

If we want to be invincible forever, we must conform to the trend of history and not go against the general direction. Since this opportunity has been stolen by someone else, then, he will steal it back.

Benjamin already had a plan in mind.
