His... power
Benjamin couldn't help but frown, feeling something was strange.
Since when does he have an existence that can be called a "power" under his command
"I... don't understand what you mean." After thinking about it, he said cautiously, "If you want to join a mercenary group, I also need to test your abilities before making a decision."
Tony shook his head and said, "No, what you own is not just a mercenary group, right? We also heard that you have the ability to produce potions yourself, and have already made long-term cooperation agreements with some shops in the city. Agreement, and also has its own material cultivation field. Maybe you haven’t realized it yet, but this is already the prototype of a mage force.”
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled and said, "You're flattered."
Yes, this does feel a bit powerful, but to be honest, he doesn't want the outside world to think that he has the ambition to develop power. Otherwise, he will definitely be suppressed by some other forces.
A group of mages from out of town settled in Riley City to make a living together - at least for now, that's how Benjamin defined their group.
Moreover, if he really wants to admit new people to join, he has to be very careful in this process. Otherwise, if some people with ulterior motives sneak in, their fragile little seedling will probably be destroyed in this complex big city.
"Why do you want to join us?" So he asked.
"Sir Benjamin, maybe you don't understand why we do this, but the Master Freemasonry is indeed not a place for development." Tony looked at him and said with extra sincerity, "But you are different, you are not Freden Local people have a fighting spirit that is different from other people. Maybe some people like to live one day at a time, but we are not that old yet, and we still hope that we can do something."
Benjamin nodded when he heard this.
He also had to admit that this declaration of "making a difference" was quite admirable.
However, ideals alone are not enough.
"Introduce yourselves." He suddenly felt like an interviewer, and with a hidden smile, he said slowly, "What can you provide me?"
This request is still very reasonable, and none of the three people have objections.
Tony spoke first and said: "Although I have been doing book sorting and research work, I am still a battle mage. My specialty is water magic. I can even use advanced magic under extreme conditions. Therefore, I am I also feel great respect for your level when I witness the battle in your ruins.”
… Advanced magic.
Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although because these three people were chased by zombie cows and fled, he somewhat underestimated their level. However, being able to use advanced magic is a watershed moment.
Thinking this, he shifted his gaze to the other two people.
Finally, the two men stopped letting Tony speak for them and spoke for themselves.
"I'm Leto, um... Although I'm not very good at fighting, and I don't have any talent in making potions. However, I have been studying the theory of potions, and I have invented a formula myself, which should be of great help to you. "
A theoretical talent? Benjamin nodded expressionlessly.
"What about you?" He looked at the other person.
"Hello, my name is Lingda, and I am also a battle mage. My expertise is in the fire and wind systems. Although I may not be as good as Tony, I think my strength is pretty good. You can rest assured."
A confident player
Benjamin shrugged incredulously.
In fact, no matter what their abilities are, in his opinion, they can be cultivated slowly. What is more important is whether they can integrate into this group and find their own place. Otherwise, no matter how capable they are, they will not be able to stay.
As for the three people in front of me...
After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, let me arrange a position for you first. If you two think you can fight, you can work with a mercenary group for a while and feel the atmosphere of the group. As for you, you can first Join our pharmacy mages here and work with them for a period of time. We can maintain this state for a month, and you can also feel whether it is suitable for you. We will make a formal decision after one month, what do you think?"
There is a three-month probationary period when looking for a job. He makes a decision in one month. Isn’t that efficient enough
However, probably because they had not been exposed to this mode before, the three of them looked a little confused and looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Seeing this, Benjamin immediately added: "Of course, for the tasks you participated in or the potions produced this month, I will also give you a portion of the money according to your credit, so that you will not work in vain. As for how much you should be divided If not, then it depends on your ability.”
The mages in the team now have a relatively good relationship with each other, and they are still being taken care of by Benjamin. The spell books are provided unconditionally, so there is no need to talk about money. But if we really want new people to come in, they will definitely not be able to cooperate according to this model. Standardizing the system and raising wages will be an inevitable trend.
Benjamin didn't have much experience in this area, so he had to learn from what he had seen and take it step by step.
On the other side, when they heard that they were being paid, the three of them still nodded despite not quite understanding the entire internship system.
In this way, the meeting ended, and Benjamin took them to see the leaders of the mercenary group and potions respectively, and gave them detailed instructions.
When they heard that they had a new partner, they didn't think about it as much as Benjamin did. Both of them were very happy. With more mages willing to participate in mercenary missions, the types of missions available will also be expanded. The Potion Mages are even happier - they only relied on a book to get started, and they know some recipes, but they haven't learned the theoretical knowledge of potions yet!
Of course, as for the residence of these three people, Benjamin has no plans to let them live in it for the time being. Therefore, they all still live in their original residences.
But they are not dissatisfied. On the contrary, they don't seem to want to live in it. In fact, most of the mage forces do not include food and accommodation. Most mages long for freedom, and it is indeed rare to find someone like Benjamin who spends all day together.
So, after arranging these things, Benjamin sent the three of them out of the door with a smile.
He stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know why, but it feels like “Benjamin Magic Co., Ltd.” has been officially registered.
"Teacher, will there be more and more people here in the future?" Wallis came over, looked at the backs of the three of them, and suddenly spoke.
"Maybe." Benjamin smiled, "What? Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? If there are really more people, will everyone feel that this formerly warm haven has suddenly changed?"
"You think too much, everyone is very adaptable." Wallis shook his head, patted Benjamin on the shoulder, and said, "Don't forget how we got here. No matter what decision you make, Everyone will support you."
"Thank you." Benjamin smiled.
He has never been a leader, and he doesn't know if he has the ability to be an organizer. At this point, he seems to be finally getting better, but he often feels uneasy. He will worry about whether every decision he makes is right or wrong, worried that one mistake will cause him to fall from the clouds to the bottom.
But... With this passage and these people, he probably has more courage, which can support him to make several decisions without hesitation.
No matter if they are right or wrong.
