Chapter 699: The Fur Family's Second Mission
It's time to cultivate a group of talents who specialize in chanting.
Benjamin came up with this idea because of the recent college admissions, and there are quite a lot of "partial" talents. The affinity of the six elemental systems is not very good, but the spiritual power is quite good, even exceeding the level of ordinary mages - such a physique is not impossible.
If it had been placed in the past, they could only reluctantly dissuade these students, after all, for mages, elemental affinity was a more rigid indicator, and this was the fact that the Rune Meditation Method could not be changed even if it was introduced. But now...... Benjamin has found a whole new path.
Because of this, he picked out more than a dozen seedlings with outstanding spiritual power and kept them.
With regard to telephony, this is a power that the Church has absolutely no grasp of. He plans to secretly cultivate some spellcasters who learn to read arts, and it doesn't take too many, a dozen people are enough, usually hidden in the shadows, and then thrown out at a critical moment, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
"Let's, let's be teachers?"
Hearing this, the two siblings both showed surprised looks. Indeed, for their current age, the word teacher seems a bit unaffordable.
But Benjamin never cared about that.
"That's right. He nodded, and said as a matter of course, "You are the only people on our side who can really use chanting, you are not a teacher, who will be it?"
"But...... We never taught anyone else. ”
"There's a first time for everything. Benjamin waved his hand and directly settled the matter, "Okay, you don't have to worry about so many haves and don'ts." Do it well, I believe you will be a good teacher. ”
“...... All right. ”
In this way, Benjamin brought the two siblings into the academy. There are also some remote and vacant buildings in the academy, which can be used exclusively for them to teach chanting, and no one will disturb them. And the students who are learning the art of chanting are already waiting in the academy at the moment.
Mindfulness is independent of the Academy of Magic's curriculum, so Benjamin doesn't have to follow the Academy's schedule and can start now.
"These twenty people will be your students from now on. ”
Walking into the classroom, Benjamin whispered to the two siblings.
The two of them took a deep breath, raised their eyes, and glanced at the students sitting scattered in the classroom, and the tension in their hearts was slightly relieved.
Because the students Benjamin picked for them were all seven or eight years old.
The Academy of Magic doesn't admit such young children, but that doesn't mean they won't sign up. In fact, there are really all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods at the registration point of the college, beggars on the side of the road, the chef of the restaurant, and the eighty-year-old proprietress of the tavern...... It only takes a few copper coins to test once, and no matter how poor people are, they can get it, so almost anyone will test whether they have this talent.
And the children who were found here by Benjamin, in addition to their excellent mental strength, are also desperate orphans. After they were tested at the registration point, Benjamin approached them and offered to take them in, and after judging by their personalities, the fifteen people were finally selected.
At this moment, they sat in the classroom, and they also raised their heads with some fear, looking at Benjamin and the two siblings.
"Dean-sama......"
"Well, these two are your teachers. From now on, you will learn the art of chanting with them. Benjamin walked over with a smile and said, "Just because you don't have an elemental affinity doesn't mean you're out of magic, and you should never give up hope." ”
The children nodded ignorantly, and the two siblings also walked over and became familiar with them one by one.
In this way, the matter of chanting and learning was also arranged. He will often come over to check on the situation in the future, but he doesn't have to worry about specific things.
- That's probably the benefit of having an academy.
"Dean, the guests are already waiting for the reception room. At the door of the school building, Wallis saw Benjamin passing by and immediately reminded him.
Benjamin nodded as well.
As the master of the academy, he has to undertake more of this kind of diplomatic task. Nearly a year after its establishment, he had already met countless merchants, mercenary captains, and officials in the reception room...... He worked hard to connect with all sectors of society, so that this perhaps somewhat advanced college was closely connected to the world.
However, when he walked into the reception room, he found that the guests who had come to visit today were not just leaders of forces who had come to seek cooperation.
"That...... Dean Benjamin, hello, you. ”
He looked at the young man with this thought, and at first he felt a little familiar, but then he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this was not the Dick Fur.
Speaking of which, after the last incident, the situation in the Kingdom of Horry has changed drastically, and the connection between the Fur family and the academy has been forced to be severed - don't forget, they still owe Benjamin a lot of money and elemental crystals!
As far as he knew, the Fur family did not change hands because of the turmoil in the church, but their family died unexpectedly in the eyes of the church, so they lost the means to contact abroad. Benjamin didn't expect that they wouldn't send someone until today.
And he is also the young master of the For family of Pie.
"Long time no see. Benjamin's face did not change and greeted the other party.
They still had a lot of suspicions before, and it was the nightpot incident, and the burning of his villa in the village by Pearl Lake, and Dick could be said to hate him so much. However, time has passed, and now that Benjamin has become the object of the Faure family, Dick can obviously only come to him in a low voice.
This feeling...... It's actually pretty good.
"Yes, that ......" The current situation must be quite embarrassing for Dick, and I don't know why Aix sent him over to negotiate, "Before, you made an agreement with your father, and his father said that you were barely halfway done, so the payment we paid you would also be reduced by half. ”
Benjamin sneered in his heart when he heard this.
It turned out to be a bargain.
The previous agreement he made with the Fur family was to help them divert the attention of the church and give them a chance to breathe. In fact, the church's attention was indeed diverted by Benjamin, who didn't think it was "halfway done."
"How bold, do you know who you're talking to?" Benjamin touched his chin and said playfully, "You know, I can keep you out of this academy for the rest of your life?"
Suddenly, Dick was frightened by him, and his face changed drastically: "What......? How can you do that?"
"Why can't I do this?" Benjamin said slowly, spreading his hands, "I'm the most powerful mage in the world, and this is my territory. And you're just a small noble kid from the Kingdom of Hori. ”
Dick froze in place, stayed for a while, and then hesitated, "Then, we'll give you the full amount of the payment." ”
“......”
Benjamin really didn't expect that the other party would be so fast.
Of course, he didn't plan to do anything to Dick, but just casually intimidated him to see how this old arrogant old man would react. Outcome...... This reaction was really unexpected.
It can only be said that he is indeed not the Benjamin of the past.
Feng Shui takes turns.
"Okay, since you're so knowledgeable, then I'm welcome. Benjamin smiled like a profiteer, "So...... Your father specially sent you here, I am afraid there are other arrangements besides this matter, right?"
