Speaking of which, the entire gathering of mages lasted quite a long time.
By now, it's already past ten o'clock in the evening, but these people are still having fun. Moreover, looking at the venue, there are still many people fighting, probably wanting to get more spells, or to compete for the top prize of half price for half a year.
Although some people left the venue early, the crowd outside the venue did not disperse at this moment.
Benjamin stood there, still doing Tai Chi with the mage beside him. However, he only came up with so many answers. Most of the mages knew that they couldn't get anything out of the questions, so they had no choice but to give up and retreat.
Of course, it was much calmer on the surface, but privately, the topic about Benjamin was continued by them, and it might even continue for a long time.
Benjamin also learned from other mages how rare this ten-game winning streak was in so many gatherings in their history.
Although in the end, those who won the prizes in each rally had double-digit victories, but those were the results obtained after many battles - when you encounter someone who feels difficult to fight, you give up and quickly start the next battle. . Although Master Finch has not released any statistics, generally speaking, five consecutive wins and six consecutive wins are their record.
Therefore, a ten-game winning streak came out of nowhere, and ten consecutive victories at such a speed, it almost shocked their jaws to the point of being dislocated.
Some people also doubted whether it was cheating, but the loser was there, and there were several well-known mages in the circle. How could they help an outsider cheat
Therefore, these people would be uncharacteristically interested in Benjamin.
"You are really an amazing mage. I have benefited a lot from these words."
Finally, after dealing with the last mage who came to talk to him, Benjamin waved goodbye to him and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It's not good to be unknown, but becoming famous overnight is really not an easy job!
The mage who came to talk to me was always difficult to deal with. He couldn't tell the truth and could only do Tai Chi. In order to expand his influence, he has to leave a good impression on these people, and he cannot lose face just because he is impatient. After these ten minutes, Benjamin felt much more tired than the ten consecutive victories.
Then he ran to ask the servant in charge of statistics. The servant told him expressionlessly that he was currently the mage who had won the most, but the people behind him were almost catching up.
Suddenly, Benjamin hesitated whether to compete for the first place.
To be honest, he achieved most of his goals today. I changed a lot of spells and gained a good reputation. And more importantly, he doesn't have much mental strength anymore. If he continues to fight, he may fall into a rather embarrassing state, which will damage the fame bonus that this ten-game winning streak has brought to him.
Although half-price potions for half a year are good, he learned from other mages that in order to prevent malicious reselling, there is still a quantity limit on this purchase. Therefore, Benjamin cannot make money on this offer.
If that's the case, why is he still working so hard
It's better to exit safely while he still has enough mental strength to protect himself, and don't let anyone find out about his weakness.
Just like this, the more he thought about it, the more Benjamin felt that he should stop and there was no need to fight for the first place.
When preparing to leave here quietly...
"Mage Benjamin, you are really amazing. Riley City has not had such a powerful mage for a long time." A voice came from behind him.
Benjamin turned around and saw Master Finch standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, Master Finch. I still want to thank you for creating the opportunity for everyone to communicate with each other." He was not surprised, but smiled and replied.
After all, he broke a record, and it was normal for the owner of the villa to be alarmed by him.
Finch shook his head and said, "It's different. Your magic is completely different from others. Compared with you, other people's magic is just a wheel, but your magic is a living horse."
After being flattered inexplicably again, Benjamin felt his cheeks were a little tired, but he still kept smiling and continued his social rhetoric, saying: "Thank you for the compliment."
Finch smiled and then asked: "You seemed to have said before that you came to Riley City recently. What about before? I am very curious, where did such a powerful mage come from? "
Benjamin still said the same thing: "Some of my companions and I are from Icol and were unwilling to join the Mages Guild, so our life there was not going well, so we came here."
Finch nodded and suddenly lowered his voice: "So... you secretly crossed the border without telling the Mages Guild?"
Suddenly, Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
What is supposed to come will always come, and Frieden's news is not so secluded. It is so secluded that no one knows about the wanted criminals in Ikol.
However, his expression did not change and he still maintained a friendly smile.
"To be honest, we do have some issues with the people of the Mages Guild." He also lowered his voice and said, "In Icol, the Mages Guild is so powerful that it can cover the sky with one hand. Facing mages who dare to resist them, they will use any means , slander is just the simplest kind."
Even if Finch knew that they were wanted in Ikol, it wouldn't be a big deal.
On Frieden's side, the reputation of the Mages Guild is not much better.
Hearing this, Finch sighed and said: "Don't worry, I understand what Ikol's situation is and I won't spread the news. Besides, they are them and we are us. Even if you kill people and set fire over there , it has nothing to do with us. As long as you do not harm our compatriots, our country still welcomes you."
After listening to these somewhat subtle words, Benjamin did not show any signs of strangeness, but nodded gratefully.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Finch glanced at him again. Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared and he said calmly: "You are a very promising mage. I hope you will cherish your talent and make your own contribution to magic in the future. Don’t let this go to waste.”
Benjamin smiled: "That's natural."
Finch nodded, like a face-changing game, his calm face smiled again, and said casually in a very familiar tone: "What? Are you leaving? Why don't you fight for the first place? Don't underestimate me. The potion shop offers a half-price discount that many mercenaries can only dream of."
Benjamin shook his head and said: "My mental energy is exhausted, I'm a little tired, I can't fight for it anymore."
After hearing this, Finch showed a somewhat regretful expression, patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said: "Young man, come on, the future of magic lies on the shoulders of you people. Consider your choices carefully and don't make the wrong decision. , one day, you will stand in a higher position than us."
Benjamin smiled naturally, waved, and said goodbye to Master Finch.
"Thank you for your advice, I will go back first."
After saying that, he turned around, left the backyard under the guidance of the servant, received the fifty gold coins, walked through the corridor, and finally left the villa on the outskirts of Riley alone.
In the quiet night, Benjamin flew into the air, the brilliant party was slowly pulled away behind him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared in the howling wind.
