It was almost night time, and Benjamin finally left the woods.
After the last remaining priest chose to commit suicide in order to keep the secret, Benjamin had no choice. He had no way of knowing the church's plan, so he could only keep this matter in his mind and remind himself to be more cautious in his actions in Icol in the future.
In fact, the entire battle with the three priests completely deviated from Benjamin's expectations, and he didn't know whether this was a good deviation or a bad deviation.
Thinking about it now, the priests might have discovered Benjamin's location when he attacked for the first time. But at that time, maybe Benjamin was still a little far away, so they pretended not to notice, trying to lure Benjamin into being fooled, and thus wasted most of the life-saving cross.
If the three priests hadn't wasted so many crosses in order to make the play realistic, Benjamin would have encountered a lot of obstacles if he wanted to deal with them, and he might even have allowed them to escape.
They have tricked themselves into this.
Unfortunately, Benjamin still underestimated the determination of the last priest. However, even if he thought that the other party might commit suicide, there was nothing he could do. If a person really wants to die, there must be a way, not to mention the fanatical believers of this religion. Whether it is self-explosion of magic power, biting his tongue, or holding on until he starves to death, it is difficult for Benjamin to stop him.
Therefore, after he died, Benjamin shook his head helplessly, and finally put the matter aside, squatted down and began to touch the body.
—No matter how many crosses these priests explode, there will always be something useful left.
Finally, from the magical skills of these three priests, Benjamin found a total of seven usable magic props, all of which were crosses that strengthened mental power and helped restore mental power. He put these things away, and even if he didn't use them, he would give them to other mages who would definitely need them.
The only pity is that he didn't find any more strange letters.
In this way, after harvesting the loot, Benjamin quickly left the area. The smell of blood had slowly dissipated. In order to avoid being besieged by the monsters and causing trouble, it was better for him to leave first.
Besides, he still has a mission.
After leaving the area, Benjamin devoted all his energy to finding the dark snake. After all, it is a completely transparent creature, so it is very troublesome to find it. But fortunately, Benjamin has the water element sensing method, so it is not that difficult to find it.
It took him more than three hours and nearly half of the entire forest before he finally discovered this magical monster in a tree hole. The Dark Snake's combat power was not particularly strong, so Benjamin just made a piece of ice, froze it inside, and put it into his package.
Just like that, there was nothing else to do in this forest, so Benjamin turned around and left here.
In the quiet night, he flew all the way to Hank Town, ready to hand over his things, and got the two books from the old man in exchange. It just so happened that he could read them on his bed before going to bed tonight.
However, just when he was about to arrive at Hank Town, a small accident suddenly happened.
In mid-air, he met Frank, another mage in the mage team.
"Sir Benjamin, what a coincidence, I was just about to go to the woods to find you!"
Benjamin was a little confused and said, "Why are you looking for me? What happened in the town?"
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Frank shook his head and said, "It's just that two mages suddenly came to the hotel, saying that they were from some kind of mages' guild and that they wanted to meet you."
Mages Guild
Benjamin felt a little confused.
It's not a strange thing for the Mages Guild to know his location, but... why are they looking for Benjamin? Entrusted by the Queen to win them over by force? It's not necessary. They have long been far away from the military camp. With just two mages, it is impossible to force them to do anything.
Thinking back to the old man's description of the Mages' Guild and the secrets about the Mages' Guild told by the strange young man, Benjamin felt even more strange.
However, people were coming to visit, and he couldn't just say no and just disappear. Therefore, Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and see them right away."
In fact, he was a little curious. As a large mage organization in Icol, the so-called Mage Guild, what exactly will the people in it look like
With this in mind, Benjamin flew back to Hank Town with Frank.
However, what people didn't expect was that before the two of them entered the hotel door, they saw many people gathered around the hotel door, and various noisy sounds came out, as if they were watching a good show.
Confused, the two of them took a closer look and found that there were many familiar faces in the crowd. The boss's wife, Wallis, Augustine... the mages who had escaped from Crewe Town all swarmed into this group of people.
There was also an open space surrounded by the heavy crowd. There were two people standing in the open space, one was Joanna, the mage in the team, and the other was not a familiar face.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
"what happened?"
Frank looked at this scene and shook his head in confusion, saying, "I don't know... I was fine when I first went out. Why did everyone suddenly run out?"
Benjamin had no choice but to push through the crowd and walk in. He walked to Joanna's side in the open space in the center of the crowd, patted her on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing? What happened?"
When Joanna heard this, she turned around in surprise: "Teacher Benjamin, are you finally back?"
Benjamin nodded without knowing why.
What are you doing? Can someone explain to him what's going on now
At the same time, the stranger standing across the open space, after hearing this, also turned his eyes to Benjamin, showing a somewhat surprised look.
"Are you that Lord Benjamin?" I heard him ask.
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded, but he was even more confused.
"Can someone tell me what's going on now?" He looked around. In addition to the mages in the team, there were also many passers-by who were looking at him with curiosity, and he seemed a little bit... Speechless.
Finally, Joanna reacted, showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and explained everything to Benjamin in a low voice. It turned out that the stranger standing opposite her was a mage from the Mages Guild. He and another person said they would come to see Benjamin, but Benjamin was not there, so they had to wait in the hotel, but ended up chatting with other mages.
Having just escaped from the kingdom, the mages were still very curious about the outside world. As they chatted, they ended up talking about the difference in magic between the two sides. Suddenly, the mages' curiosity became even more intense, and there was a faint feeling of dissatisfaction.
It just so happened that the Mages Guild came with two adventure mages. In this way, they made an appointment at the door of the hotel, wanting to compare their skills together and see if the magic outside the kingdom had developed to a level they could not imagine.
Thus, there was this scene in front of Benjamin.
After listening to the whole process, Benjamin felt quite helpless. Fortunately, the atmosphere at the scene was quite harmonious. It was probably just a casual exchange of combat skills, which should also be helpful to the mages in the group.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he did not object.
"Okay... Then come on, fight hard, and don't embarrass us."
Benjamin had no expectations for the outcome. He still knows very well how much these mages weigh. They had just come into contact with the law of meditation not long ago. How could they be opponents when facing mages trained by other mages' guilds
Just think of it as exercise.
However…
"Teacher Benjamin, since you are here, I can't appear. It's you who should take the initiative!" Joanna looked happy, "You are the most powerful person among us, and you have to represent our Horli Kingdom. All the mages in the world should compete with them!"
