Chapter 422: Saving the Grassland
Benjamin and his party spent almost half of the night cleaning up the battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The corpses of tens of thousands of wolves are simply an impossible task. At first, they didn't even know where to start, and they wanted to leave it alone. However, in order to maintain the ecological environment of the grassland and collect some loot by the way, they still stubbornly moved.
Like this wolf-type demonic beast, there are not many valuable materials on its body, that is, wolf skin, fangs, blood, and the like. But there are tens of thousands of wolves, and they can be skinned until next year, plus some convenient carrying considerations, they can only make some trade-offs.
Benjamin was also helpless about this.
In the end, several large jars of blood were collected, more than a hundred skins were peeled, and more than ten bags of wolf meat were stuffed...... Under Benjamin's "I'm not going to do this again", they all abandoned the rest, piled it up, surrounded it with a wall of ice, and burned it all in one fire.
Looking at the sky-high flames coming out of the ice wall, Wallis couldn't help but sigh: "How much money did our fire burn." ”
"Don't think so, it's all money that you can't get. Benjamin shook his head, "Our luggage is not light, can we still walk out of the prairie with such a thing?"
Although it was a pity, he did not regret it.
It's good to have a lot of Warcraft materials in the account, but it also depends on whether it meets the demand. After operating in Freden for so long, Benjamin still had some savings, and he was not so poor that he didn't let go of anything when he saw it.
Don't forget their real mission - to grow and stand up to the church. Making money is not the most critical issue.
After burning the remaining corpses, the mages returned to their tents, closed their tired eyes, and fell asleep. It's not early, they have to make their way again tomorrow, and they have to recover quickly.
Who knows what the hell they'll encounter tomorrow?
The herdsmen told Benjamin that in the past, there were usually several groups of wolves. This year's situation is obviously different from previous years, but ...... What if there are several batches? They have to be mentally prepared for the worst.
In this way, the next day, they continued their journey towards the grassland. The herdsmen showed their intention to follow, but with so much extra luggage, Benjamin's flight speed would have been slowed down a lot, and they would have been delayed a lot of time if they took these people with them.
Therefore, Benjamin still refused to follow them.
"You've got this book in hand, and it's all in simple meditations and beginner introductory mantras. With it, you don't need anyone's guidance to teach you magic. ”
Before leaving, he pulled out an unfinished copy of the Manifesto of Freedom and Magic, and handed it to the two new apprentices.
The two took the book, but still showed regretful expressions.
"Your Excellency...... Can't we follow you? We're weak now, but we're ...... We will definitely become useful in the future. ”
"No, you continue on the path of magic, and becoming a mage is the best thing for me to follow. Benjamin smiled and replied, "When the time comes, if you still want to follow me, leave this prairie and go to a bigger city." Don't worry you might not find me, by that time, my name must have spread all over Caritus. ”
This time, he doesn't plan to recklessly expand the ranks. First of all, he didn't even know where he was going to be in the future, and it was enough to bear the burden of more than 100 people. The rest, he had to be selective.
As for the two apprentices, it is better to take them into the ranks than to leave them in the steppe.
The people of this grassland don't even know what magic is, and it will be very troublesome for Benjamin to carry out his work in the future. And if these two people stay here, it will be equivalent to two moving living signs, with a propaganda effect that outsiders can't match.
They are like Benjamin's special mage "virus", thrown into this blank paper-like grassland, believing that soon, they will be able to "infect" him with a bunch of new mages.
Therefore, he also specifically instructed the two of them that if someone came to ask what magic was all about, they must know everything and make it as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.
After that, he took his heavy luggage and took to the air with the other mages, flying off into the distance under the watchful eyes of the herdsmen.
The plan was not affected, and they set off again.
The whole grassland is not so big that it is exaggerated, and if they fly like this, they will fly out in a few days. In fact, however, they still haven't left the place after a few days.
Because on the way, they encountered several groups of herders and wolves.
This large-scale animal tide is a devastating blow to the herdsmen living on the grassland. Their original tribe is falling apart, and the problems they are about to face are also very serious, and many people continue to be chased by wolves.
And in this case, Benjamin and his party descended from the sky, and the effect was no less than the manifestation of the true god.
In the past few days, they have rescued more than 10 teams of herdsmen, with a total number of nearly 1,000. And every time they act, they descend from the sky, kill the wolves they are pursuing, and then, when they are grateful, teach the mantras and meditations to the gifted ones among the herders.
If people instinctively fear the unknown and may reject magic because of it, Benjamin used this power to save the herders while spreading knowledge. Therefore, the fear is gone, and all that remains in the hearts of the herders is longing.
They also aspire to have this kind of power that can resist the tide of beasts.
As a result, more than forty magic apprentices were born from this grassland. And the title "Master Benjamin" has also spread among the mouths of countless surviving herdsmen.
Some herdsmen even treat him as an inhuman being such as a god, offering sacrifices and worshipping him. As Benjamin approached the edge of the prairie, he even encountered a group of herders. The herdsmen had never seen Benjamin before, but they had heard of him by name, recognized him, and knelt down in front of him.
"Great messenger of the gods, this is Tanina, a fourteen-year-old girl, our tribute to you. She had three pieces of unmelted crushed ice in her mouth, her hair had just been soaked with water, and everything was done as it should have been. ”
Benjamin couldn't help but laugh.
It's only been a few days, and it's already been like this?
His team of mages killed a very large number of demonic beasts, and in a way, they solved this beast tide and saved the entire grassland, allowing these herders to survive. So, in the eyes of the herdsmen, their existence is no different from that of God.
But...... They are not gods.
God's dictionary does not have the word "salvation" either.
"I'm just a normal human. ”
Benjamin never imagined that after entering Carretus, this would become a phrase on his lips, which he would repeat at least twenty times a day. Perhaps the disaster struck, and these herders desperately needed a spiritual support, but sorry, Benjamin didn't want to indulge this weakness.
If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself, and piety is only a weakness and impotence that is whitewashed.
As a result, Benjamin's straightforward attitude made some herders even feel angry, and they began to be suspicious and reprimanded, showing strong hostility. Benjamin didn't understand why they reacted this way, but all doubts ended in his tough magic.
"I'm not a god. I'm just a mage. He said to the countless herdsmen, "Some of you, if you work hard enough, might be able to have the power of mine." So, don't put your hope in God, if you can't save yourself, God won't pay attention to you. ”
In fact, when he said this, his heart was rejoicing.
This group of herdsmen in the steppe is ignorant and weak enough to be the perfect object for the Church's mission. Fortunately, Benjamin came here before the church found out about it, and he happened to be the savior, and he had the right to say such things that completely deviated from the other party's concept, and the other party had to accept it.
He didn't know if his words would change, but he knew that the mages who came out of the herdsmen one by one would eventually change all that.
