A week later.
"Teacher Benjamin, the execution is over." At noon that day, Augustine opened the door and said to Benjamin, "Even the sect that was attacked that day doesn't know what they committed, but look at the official documents issued by the government , they have all been wiped out."
Benjamin came back from his meditation, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Augustine smiled and said, "What's the point? But why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?"
Benjamin stood up and replied casually: "It's okay. We live here anyway. We can't know everything about the big things happening in the city."
"Same." Augustine nodded, said hello to Benjamin, closed the door, and left the room.
Benjamin walked to the window, looked at the city street scene outside the window, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It can be regarded as getting rid of that group of people.
A week ago, he finally defeated the old man with all his efforts, ending the battle that night. As officials of Frieden, Lance and Mikel witnessed such a scene with their own eyes. Naturally, there is no need to discuss the danger of this sect.
—They cannot allow such a sect to exist in Freeden.
Therefore, that night, the two of them hid the news, rushed back to Frieden's capital overnight, and reported everything to the king. After the news was conveyed, the king finally issued an order to put the sect on the banned list. Those people's stronghold in Riley City was directly surrounded by the army early the next morning.
Most of the sectarians in the streets still don't know what happened, and only a few core members want to abscond. But the army came so quickly that they didn't have time to run far, and they were all captured in the end, leaving no hidden danger.
Of course, Benjamin does not need to worry about these finishing tasks.
After killing the old man, Mikel and Lance thanked him profusely and said they would tell His Majesty the King of Benjamin's achievements. So, when the army came to Riley City, the king's reward also came.
Although one thousand gold coins is not a big number, for Benjamin at this moment, it is already a lottery-like gain.
Besides, Benjamin wasn’t in it for the money. The sect that was inextricably linked to the other world was destroyed in its infancy and had no impact on this world. For him, this was enough.
Maybe, he has already saved the entire world's mages invisibly.
Of course, there was still a lot that Benjamin wanted to know about the sect itself, especially the "inner world" the old man called it.
He asked Lance and Mikel to do this. But unfortunately, in the entire sect, only the old man knew the relevant content - the old man was killed by him personally, and all the books and materials within their sect were destroyed by their own people during the arrest.
There was nothing Benjamin could do about it.
In his hand, there were parchment, green stones and crystals, zombie cow eyes, and other things. There should be records of how to use them within the sect, but now, there is nothing.
These harvests from the underground ruins, Benjamin can probably only seal them away forever.
After all, it was a restless thing, and he also thought about whether to bury it somewhere inaccessible. However, he couldn't help but think of the story in those novels about some evil thing that was sealed away, only to be found by a stupid man thousands of years later and reappear to cause trouble to the world.
He didn't want to become some eternal sinner. Therefore, he found a time to return to the wasteland outside Riley City, opened the underground ruins again, and then threw the parchment in together with the remaining miscellaneous things.
He stayed at the entrance until the entrance to the ruins was completely closed, then he felt relieved and was sure that the connection between that world and this world had been completely severed by him.
Afterwards, he left contentedly. Everything about the "Kahura'an" sect has completely disappeared—at least, in this world.
The big worry in my heart was finally solved.
However, it has only been a week now, and the impact of the sect's demise is still fermenting in Frieden, or in other words, Riley City.
The most obvious thing is that Benjamin found that he seemed to have become more famous.
In the official document released by the government, although Benjamin's name was not mentioned, it used an unusually generous space to thank a mage who had greatly helped, for being "wit, courageous, and powerful" and for being a "new star mage in the future"...
In short, in order to describe Benjamin's help to them, all kinds of exaggerated and praising words were piled on top of it as if it was free of charge, and it filled half a page.
Benjamin didn't dare to read more of the official document.
He is thin-skinned and would be embarrassed.
"By the way, Teacher Benjamin." Suddenly, Augustine came back again and reappeared, saying, "I also copied that official document as you asked. You said before that you would use it to cover the whole place. The house, like a... 'poster'? What is that?"
"...Forget it." Benjamin turned his face away silently and whispered.
"Okay." Augustine didn't know why, but he closed the door and left again.
In short, such an official document, in addition to causing someone's vanity to become extremely inflated, also caused a lot of influence in the entire Riley City, especially in the circle of mages here.
The mages here are quite proud. When they see someone being praised like this, they will naturally want to find out who the mage in the official document is, and the official has no intention of hiding it. As a result, Benjamin's name spread once again and became a popular word among the mages.
From the initial ten consecutive victories as a mage to the current announcement of praise throughout the city, Benjamin's reputation has begun to spread among the mages in Riley City.
In the past few days, many people have even started to visit me.
Most people wanted to see how powerful this wizard Benjamin was, how many arms and legs he had grown, and some even showed a tendency to join "a" mercenary group.
Benjamin specially organized a room for this purpose and used it as his reception room. But even so, after a few days, he was still exhausted. Just the wine used to entertain the guests consumed more than half of the barrel, which shows how many people visited him.
Of course, his sudden rise in fame is a good thing for him. However, just like those mages who want to join "a" mercenary group, the visitors are all out of curiosity or fishing in troubled waters. Therefore, while Benjamin felt happy, he still calmed down and faced every visiting mage with a normal attitude.
Maybe in the future, some of these people will become his companions, but now, don't count on it.
Let’s finish dealing with these people now.
Right now, he had just received a mage visitor. And this afternoon, he had three more mage visitors to meet. His schedule was full, so he didn't have time to do anything else these days.
This troubled him enough.
but…
In a sense, he also has a rather special "visitor" to deal with.
Thinking of this, Benjamin's expression returned to seriousness. He turned around, opened the desk drawer, took out a piece of white paper embroidered with patterns, and stared at it silently.
When the bounty of one thousand gold coins came, this thing also came with it. At that time, Mikel held it in his hands and handed it to Benjamin with a smile on his face.
Benjamin only glanced at it, and his expression became a little subtle.
This is a dinner invitation from King Frieden.
