In the following days, Benjamin was busy visiting Masters everywhere.
Riley City is considered the center of mercenary activities, and has naturally become the base camp of battle mages, with a large number of mages gathered around it. Benjamin knew very well that for potion mages, robe-type magic props were unattractive. The only customers they can capture are mages who want to improve their combat effectiveness.
A few days ago, a lot of mages came to visit Benjamin every day, which completely opened up his connections in Riley City. Now, it's Benjamin's turn to visit them.
However, he did not send cloaks everywhere. Don't blame Benjamin for being snobbish, he can't bear the gift of too much. Therefore, except for a few well-known mages, others only conducted introductory publicity.
In the end, the feedback from this method of publicity was pretty good.
"Yesterday, my friend from the Masters and Freemasonry Club came to me and wanted to ask me for three invitations." Tony also came to him specifically and asked expectantly, "We are considered insiders, so... we can enter directly, right?"
Benjamin smiled: "What? You also want to participate in the exhibition?"
Tony nodded: "Yes, many people want an invitation now. Those few friends who know that I have joined your force now come to me every day, wanting to know if those robes are really that powerful."
Hearing this, Benjamin was also a little surprised.
These mages are a bit enthusiastic about magic props. Even with a little publicity, they are already so popular. If he had known this, Benjamin would have made a lot of money instead of using the invitation letter model and charging ticket money instead.
it's a pity…
However, as more people wanted to come, the venue requirements would also become higher - he certainly couldn't let a large group of mages crowd into a small house, and the number of drinks and snacks would also have to increase.
It can only be said that fortunately "Seven Days of Hell" made him a lot of extra money.
"Okay, those three invitations are indispensable for you." Finally, Benjamin replied, "Although the three of you are still in the internship period, if you want to participate, then follow along."
After receiving such an answer, Tony left with satisfaction.
As for Benjamin, he went to Wallis again to discuss a series of trivial issues such as expanding the venue. Drawing invitations, determining the guest list, discussing the style of tables and chairs... countless details have come up. It is not an easy task to organize such an event.
Benjamin initially thought that one month of preparation time was enough. Looking at it now, it’s only been a fucking month? This is killing someone's life!
Preparations for the exhibition quickly entered a feverish stage.
They rented a large empty house in the north of Riley City for three hundred gold coins. Decoration, decoration... In order to make this place look more upscale, Benjamin hired a lot of people, and all his mages also participated, and everyone was extremely busy. They laid down expensive rented carpets, carefully designed the placement of tables, chairs and lamps, and prepared emergency measures in the event of an accident... Later, Benjamin even slept directly on the floor in this house, and rested when he was tired. Get up and do it again.
Benjamin felt like he was working hard.
He also wrote to Aldrich of Sheddy, inviting him to come and see it. Although they were ready to go against him, they did not fall out. If Benjamin could use the other party's power to expand the influence of the exhibition to the capital, that would be a beautiful thing.
In short, in such a busy process, the days passed quickly and fulfillingly, without any accidents. Gradually, the time is approaching the day when the exhibition will be officially opened.
The entire venue was finally prepared the day before the start.
"Even with the critical eyes of a noble, this venue is acceptable, right?" Standing at the entrance of the hall, looking at everything in front of him, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
The originally dark walls were newly painted, as white as the vast snow. The smell of decoration has been almost eliminated by the steam column, and with some perfume, the air is filled with a light aroma, fresh but not cloying.
In the hall, finely made tables and chairs were lined up, and the eighty-three prepared robes were placed on them and covered with glass covers. The light yellow light is projected from the crystal lamp above, making those robes more elegant and expensive.
In front of each glass cover is a beautiful card with a brief introduction and initial price of each robe. Benjamin planned to sell these robes through secret selling. Whoever liked the robe would write down the number, write down a price, and hand it over to the front desk. After counting, the highest bidder will get the robe.
In the center of the hall, dinner plates and wine glasses have been placed on a large round table, waiting for the fresh food and wine ordered tomorrow to be delivered.
The entire house has two floors. The hall on the second floor is decorated similarly to the first floor. It houses the other half of the robes for sale and provides more space for the mages watching the exhibition.
"The layout is quite good." Wallis stood aside and said with some worry, "However, there are too few people patrolling. If there are a lot of people here, and someone fishes in troubled waters and steals the exhibits, I'm afraid it will happen. Can’t find it.”
Benjamin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will watch."
There is no need to worry about security. For him, the water element in the entire house is his security. He is already prepared to activate his perception throughout the whole process tomorrow, covering every corner of the exhibition. Sneaky people don't stand a chance.
"Then...will there be many new companions after tomorrow?" Joanna suddenly ran over and asked.
Benjamin nodded and said, "I hope so."
"If there are new companions, can you let me be their leader?" Joanna laughed twice and asked expectantly, "The two new people are quite interesting, I will help them compete. Many times, they never beat me."
Listening to Joanna's triumphant words, Benjamin could only helplessly shake his head.
"Let's wait until someone comes."
No matter what happens, it will all happen later. At the moment, the only thing he hopes for is that tomorrow's exhibition can end smoothly without any surprises.
For him, tomorrow is really an important day.
Just like that, when night came, the other mages went back to rest, and Benjamin also laid down on the floor here. In the long night, the system will become his best alarm. Some time ago, a thief who wanted to come in and steal something was discovered.
"Today is the last night, I'll leave it to you." Benjamin covered himself with the quilt and said in his heart.
"Oh, it's really troublesome." The system still acted like a boss, "Okay, okay, I know you can't do it without me. Go to sleep now, do you think you can find any system in the world that is more useful than me?"
Benjamin was too lazy to complain, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
…
I don’t know how long it took.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Don't make any noise, I'm sleeping...
"Why are you sleeping? Get up quickly!"
Well…
Under the repeated calls of that voice, Benjamin finally regained consciousness from his daze.
"What happened?" He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and asked in his mind.
"There are people coming outside." The system's voice sounded particularly serious, "Several people."
