Benjamin didn't stay in the Master's Masonic Hall for a long time, only more than half an hour in total. He left this secluded library-style building and went home.
On the way, he kept thinking about Tony's last words to him.
"Did I accidentally offend that rich mage?" He couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"Your human thinking is too complex, and I can't understand it." The system said casually, "But rich people's thinking is very strange. Maybe they just don't like you, so don't take it to heart."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
Forget it... Why is he telling the system this
Not as reliable as I thought.
Before he left the gathering of mages, Master Finch did find him and spoke to him with guns and sticks, making him suspicious and asking the mages to take turns to keep vigil every night. But these days, their lives are relatively stable, and no one comes to disturb them. Therefore, he felt that Master Finch might not have much hostility towards him.
Now, he found out he was wrong.
If he hadn't saved Tony's life by chance, he might still not have discovered that he was stabbed in the back.
Tell others to be careful about him... What does this mean
Benjamin felt that he had been friendly enough. He had also explained the wanted order. Why was he like a villain BOSS, secretly planning his own conspiracy, so others should be careful
He now wants to eliminate that sect, and it is all for the common benefit of the mages!
Benjamin thought about it over and over, but still couldn't quite understand the other party's thinking. However, he had already been told so behind his back. He must do something. He couldn't just pretend it didn't happen and just sit there and wait for death.
After thinking about it, he changed his route and headed towards the Mercenary Association.
He wanted to collect more information about Master Finch. Based on his identity as a mage alone, he couldn't figure out the reason why the other party targeted him, but if this rich man had some special identity or purpose behind him, then everything would make sense.
In short, as the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
In this way, after a little disguise in a remote street, he entered the mercenary association and issued a mission to collect scandals about the other party. Whether it was despicable means to suppress opponents in business or strange rumors heard from hearsay, in short, he was going to listen to anything bad about Master Finch.
He didn't believe that there would be no stain behind this potion giant that all the mages praised.
Among these numerous rumors, one seemingly absurd one may lead to real clues.
Just like that, after issuing the mission, he quietly returned home.
Someone may be paying attention to them secretly, so it would be better for them to live a low-key life in the coming days.
It's better to retreat for a while.
Sitting in his room, Benjamin meditated for a while, and finally filled the small bubbles in his consciousness space again. With anticipation, he poked it gently, and the water element turned into raindrops, spraying out again, filling the entire consciousness space in a trickle.
Being in the rain, with his arms open, feeling his mental power growing at such a distinct speed, this gave Benjamin an incomparable sense of satisfaction.
Even the system is like a big yellow rubber ball, jumping happily in the rain.
only…
"Are you a little bigger than when you were at the beginning?" After the water element rain ended, Benjamin suddenly frowned and said as he looked at the funny faces jumping around.
The system stopped and said in an innocent tone: "Is there any?"
Benjamin walked over, picked up the system, and turned it over in his hand. Yes, the system has changed again. After its "birth", it must have benefited a lot from the meditation process, and its mocking face has gained a lot of weight.
The water element rain just now should have been partially absorbed by it.
"You guys, you've got all the benefits. You should also get some new features, right? Or evolve something?" Benjamin rubbed his funny face and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hey, hey, hey... I'm sorry, the signal here is not very good, I can't hear what you are saying."
“…”
Benjamin did not speak, but looked fiercely, and the strength in his hands suddenly increased, from kneading to squeezing and tearing.
Half a minute later.
"I was wrong." The system finally gave in and said obediently, "After I was born, I discovered that I could also absorb the water element and felt that I was slowly getting bigger. However, there was no sign of the new function. The void state could give You last until two seconds.”
It turns out that it can also evolve...
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded and let go of the system.
As soon as the system broke free, it jumped more than ten meters away. Looking at it from a distance, it felt like it had changed from "funny" to "scary".
When Benjamin saw this, he could only smile and shake his head.
The amount of water element absorbed by the system is not too much. He can probably feel that less than one percent of the water element rain is absorbed by it. In this case, let it be absorbed slowly. Who knows how far it can develop in the future
In this way, he left the conscious space, thought for a while, and took out six books from the package.
Absorbing water elements for a long time will still make him tired. He can do something else to change his mood.
Although most people think that this forbidden curse is exchanged from the Masters and Freemasons, it is of no use and can only be used as a collection as a souvenir. However, Benjamin was still interested in taking a look.
The six forbidden spells are: Hell Fire, Icefall, Shadow Uprising, Sky-Cracking Wind, Earthquake, and Volcanic Eruption. They are all typical large-scale explosive spells. When selecting, Benjamin also deliberately chose to be relatively even, ensuring that there was one forbidden spell for each department.
There is no doubt that he picked up the book "Icefall" first.
For a mage, the meaning of the forbidden spell is self-evident. Not only is it extremely powerful, but more often than not, it is also a symbol of the mage's dignity, representing the deterrent power of magic. The Masters and Freemasons can compile a special book for each forbidden spell, which is enough to illustrate the weight of these spells.
Benjamin was curious as to why such an existence had ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
When you open the pages of the book, the first thing that comes into view is the densely packed spells. After thinking for a while, Benjamin did not take a closer look, but turned back one after another. What he didn't expect was that after he flipped through more than a dozen pages, the only content he saw were all spells.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It is indeed a forbidden curse...
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to read through the entire book as quickly as possible before deciding which part to look at in detail.
However, after flipping through it quickly, he found that almost half of the entire book "Ice Descend" was devoted to spells. The spell itself was more than a dozen pages, and then there were various notes on the pronunciation of the spell, where the sentences were broken and where the emphasis was... When he turned to the end, Benjamin felt that what he was reading was not a magic book, but a long and touching foreign language essay. stupid.
Based on this estimate, even a very smooth-talking person would have to spend half an hour to finish reciting the spell, not to mention a series of minor problems such as slips of the tongue, improper ventilation points, swallowing of saliva, etc. that may occur in the middle. . Once you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.
horrible…
Just thinking about it made Benjamin feel a little dizzy.
There really is a reason why the Forbidden Curse can become a Forbidden Curse.
