After completing the formalities and officially releasing the mission, Benjamin left the Mercenary Association.
Suddenly he posted a "find yourself" mission in the Mercenary Association. His idea was actually very simple. When the strange young man appeared before, he claimed to be a mercenary, and the lady felt that she had something to do with the mercenary. Therefore, Benjamin wanted to try to see if he could use this method to lure people out.
The various branches of the Mercenary Association are said to have some strange contact information. Tasks posted in one place can also be received in other places. Therefore, even if the strange young man and "Madam" are in Regina, they can still see this mission.
Benjamin didn't expect the other party to fall into a trap, but for most people, two hundred gold coins was not a small amount. Even if the other party remains unmoved, there will probably be some clues, such as going to the Mercenary Association to inquire about this mission. And these signs can help Benjamin find the other party.
He is not afraid of alerting others. The Mercenary Association keeps employer information absolutely confidential, and no one knows that the person who issued the "Looking for Benjamin" mission is actually Benjamin himself.
In this way, although he spent a lot of money, Benjamin did not feel heartache. After leaving the Mercenary Association, he did not return to the hotel. Instead, he followed the main road and left Jiade City alone and openly.
It was time for him to rush to Regina.
The other mages who had been hiding in various places in the city had already followed the plan, disguised themselves, and left the city in twos and threes. Benjamin was responsible for breaking up the rear and was the last one to start.
In fact, when he looked forward from the road, he could see mages dressed in various identities, some sitting in carriages, and some walking on their own legs. Everyone formed different teams, pretended not to know each other, blended in with the crowd, and headed towards Regina.
Benjamin was also somewhat surprised to find that there were many people on the main road. Among these people, it was almost impossible for them to reveal their identities.
"There are so many people leaving the city, and they are all running to the same place." Faced with this situation, the system suddenly appeared and spoke in Benjamin's mind.
"Although I haven't inquired about this information, the Mages Guild does want to hold some kind of event in the royal capital, and it's not just an excuse to invite me over." Benjamin also smiled and replied in his heart, "Furthermore, Looking at the current situation, that event may be bigger than I imagined."
The main road leading to the capital outside the city of Garter is incomparable to the mass exodus of residents after the "plague" in Havenright, but the flow of people is still considerable. In the crowd of people coming and going, Benjamin also had to activate the water element perception method, otherwise, he would not even be able to find the other mages in the team.
Although there were many people, the order was surprisingly good, as if... This scene of large groups of people rushing together has happened many times.
Therefore, there were basically no conflicts along the way, and Benjamin and his party encountered no accidents. After a day and a half of journey, they finally arrived at Regina, the capital of Ikol.
The dark city walls extend into the distance like mountains, guarding the heart of the country. As the capital of this new country, Regina was not called Regina before. It was just a medium-sized city in the west of the empire. Eight years ago, the princess of the empire proclaimed herself king, established Ikol, and made it the capital. At this point, the princess became queen, and the city was named after the word "queen".
Perhaps because it doesn't have a long history, Regina always looks a little less grand than the royal capital of the Hori Kingdom. But there is no doubt that even at night, when Benjamin walks into this city, he can feel the vitality in it.
Caravans coming and going, smooth roads specially paved for the entry and exit of goods... If Havenright is like a two-faced person with chaos on the outside and solemnity on the inside, then Regina is an ambitious young wealthy businessman who has just obtained He took his first pot of gold and tried to use it to generate greater benefits.
Walking on the streets of Regina, in addition to the busy people, Benjamin also unexpectedly discovered that many merchants had colorful flags hanging at their doors, and some of the trees on the street were decorated with paper flowers. The whole city is filled with a light festive atmosphere.
"Is there any information about the folk customs of Icol? What festivals are they celebrating recently?" Therefore, Benjamin asked in his mind.
"How can I find information for you about something you haven't seen yourself?" The system replied confidently.
That's true...
Hearing this, Benjamin could only shake his head helplessly.
In this way, after entering Regina, the mages were divided into three teams and booked rooms in three relatively close hotels. They first secretly gathered in a room to discuss the next plan to find someone, and then quietly dispersed, pretending not to know each other, and carefully concealing their identities as mage.
Because it was getting late, they planned to wait and see for the night to see what the news was, and then start asking for news tomorrow.
As for Benjamin, he redressed as he did when he went to the Mercenary Association and went to the Mercenary Association branch in Regina. More than a day had passed. He wanted to see if this mission would induce the mouse to reveal himself. 's tail.
However, what he didn't expect was that the answer given to him by the staff of the Mercenary Association was far beyond his imagination.
"Sir, the mission you posted has been completed." The old man at the front desk told him, "You can agree on a time and place to meet with the mercenary. After the meeting, he will report the content of the mission to you. If you are satisfied, You can exchange the mission documents to us, and we will pay the bounty to the mercenary."
After hearing this, Benjamin was almost shocked.
finished
He wanted to use this move to lure out the other party's traces, but what he didn't expect was that not only the other party's traces appeared, but the other party's entire body crashed directly into him!
At that moment, he didn't even know whether he should feel happy or weird.
The secrecy of the Mercenary Association is unquestionable, otherwise they would not have the reputation they have today. Needless to say, the strange young man must not know that this mission is a trap, and there is no possibility that the other party will use his plan to kill Benjamin.
So... the final result is that that guy is probably very greedy for money.
Maybe it was because of the desire for two hundred gold coins, coupled with the extraordinary confidence in his own strength, so the other party didn't think much and took over the task, preparing to make some extra money
Although it's a bit unbelievable, but... it's not unreasonable.
"Well, don't wait, just tonight." After thinking about it, Benjamin said, "Tonight at 11 o'clock in the Aisen Hotel in the south of the city, room 5 on the third floor, you can tell him the news, and I will Wait there."
If possible, he still wanted to get Augustine back as soon as possible, then leave Regina and continue their original trip. He was afraid that if he delayed it for too long, the other party would feel something was wrong and things might get out of hand.
Simply, let the whole accident come to an end tonight.
"Well... I'll take a look, it's okay." The old man took out a strange book, flipped through it, and said, "You are lucky, that mercenary happens to be in the city, we should be able to notify him. He will be there on time. "
Benjamin smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
Just like that, after confirming some details, he turned around and left the Mercenary Association. Looking at the time, it was after nine o'clock and he still had two hours to prepare. And during these two hours, he really had to prepare well.
In the previous confrontation with a strange young man, he failed to gain the upper hand because he did not expect to rely on the special physical ability displayed by the potion. But this time, it was the other party who was unprepared.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but reveal an imperceptible smile.
The guy had welcomed him to Ikol with a rag, and now, for moral reasons, it was time for him to return the favor.
