"Forget it, let's not mention it." Finally, Benjamin shook his head and said, "I have a question for you."
Soldiers are coming to block it, water is coming to cover it, and no one can predict what move the church will make in the end. Being worried about this all day long will only mess up your own position. It would be better to follow the original plan and develop well, and wait until the church shows its weakness in Freden, and then it will not be too late to deal with them.
In short, they don't even have a clue, so they should focus on the problem at hand.
"You ask." Finch nodded and said, "The president is also very optimistic about you. Maybe one day, you can change this powerless situation, and I will help you as much as possible."
Benjamin heard this, thought about it for a while, and said, "Are there any other forces that can make magic props in Freden?"
He had to think about the four assassins.
"Power? Other than you?" Finch frowned and said, "I don't think there is such a power. Maybe my information is not well-informed enough, but... If there really is such a group of people, they should have come together long ago. Soaring into the sky, just like your exhibition today."
That's it...
Sure enough, if you want to find someone, you still have to rely on yourself
Benjamin couldn't hold back and asked again: "What about the people who can make magic props? I shouldn't be the only one in Freden, right?"
Master Finch thought for a while and said: "I have not investigated these things, but I heard that in the desert of the eastern border of Freden, there are some mages living there in seclusion and mastering some lost skills. Perhaps among them, There are people who know how to make magic items.”
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
The desert in the east...
Although he doesn't have time to make a trip, if he can't find any clues on the flint and steel, he will still hire some people to go to that place to find out on his behalf.
"Thank you." Therefore, Benjamin nodded and said.
"This is the only thing I can do." Finch sighed and said, "Because of His Majesty's suspicion, I can't recruit any armed forces. There are too many eyes staring at me, and I can't provide you with much. Financial support, at most I can tell you some news that I know."
After hearing this, Benjamin was a little surprised.
They have turned enemies into friends, and of course he is counting on whether he can get some help from this richest man. As a result, he discovered that Master Finch was helpless and couldn't do anything to help him.
But, think about it. Master Finch is extremely wealthy and has a record of helping other countries. In this case, even if the king is a fool, he cannot let the other party develop casually. Master Finch is still his richest man, which is a sign of mercy from the current king.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly felt a little helpless again.
His development was funded by the king, and he also sided with the king in the conflicts between the Masters and Freemasons. But now, he has reconciled with Master Finch, but the other party is restricted everywhere because of the king. This is really a sad and realistic thing.
Being involved in a political struggle, he will probably have to face this kind of thing sooner or later.
Thinking about it now, could it be that the trust the king showed in Benjamin... was partly due to the bad relationship between him and Master Finch at the time. After this news reached the king's ears, the king thought that he could train Benjamin and suppress Master Finch while fighting against the Master Freemasonry
It’s really a helpless reality.
In this way, after agreeing not to tell anyone about the meeting, he sued Master Finch. Under the desolate moonlight, the two of them left the abandoned house separately and returned to their respective places as if nothing had happened.
Lying on his bed, Benjamin looked at the ceiling and thought about the situation in front of him without saying a word.
Tonight, he saw many things clearly.
The seemingly calm Frieden is as complicated as a tangled thread beneath the water. The king, Aldrich, the "elders", the spies of the church, Master Finch... Unconsciously, too many forces were intertwined in his life, making him very anxious.
At this moment, lying in bed, he even had a sense of illusion, as if when he woke up tomorrow morning, everything he owned would disappear without a trace like a mirage.
tomorrow…
Where will he be tomorrow
Thinking about it, suddenly, he shook his head and laughed to himself.
Tomorrow, he will sit in the living room and bully all the mages in Riley City as he pleases like the most arrogant interviewer in the world. What else is there to be unhappy about
This afternoon, he had already asked people to spread the news about the recruitment. Tomorrow is their new life.
When he wakes up tomorrow, the mages from Riley City will be like the common people grabbing salt, all over his threshold. They will grow and become a force that no one can ignore. Benjamin would step onto the stage and become famous all over the world, and everyone would chant his name with as much enthusiasm as if they were facing a king.
No matter how chaotic the situation is, he still has his own way to go.
It's not his turn to be confused yet.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
He looked at the moonlight outside the window and smiled. Afterwards, he entered the consciousness space to meditate for a while, then fell asleep peacefully, waiting for a busier tomorrow.
The night passed.
In the early morning in Riley City, the sun shines as brightly as a bowl of sweet soy milk freshly baked from the oven.
"Did you bring your resume? No? Then please fill in this form first. Why, it's so troublesome? Oh, you also saw that there are too many people today, all to save some time. It's okay, we Prepare the pen, write your personal information on it, and you will be able to meet Master Benjamin later!"
"Hello, please introduce yourself first. What's wrong? Don't know what to say? Your name, age, hobbies... anything you think can represent you. We are recruiting professional magic talents. I hope to get a feel for your personality and your ability to work as a team. Of course, more importantly, what you can offer our team.”
"What work experience do you have? Well... I mean, have you ever been in a mercenary group? What kind of tasks have you handled? Don't be nervous, we just want to get to know you more deeply. You have experienced the most dangerous... Can you share with me what the battle is?”
"If we decide to admit you, there will be a one-month trial period first. You can also feel it for yourself. It's a two-way choice! After you become a full-time employee, in addition to your monthly salary, we will also have very good benefits and promotion mechanisms. In addition to the robes you are looking forward to, we will also provide specialized meditation rules, spells, and magic theory books, conduct regular magic training, and hold exchange meetings within the group to promote the common growth of everyone's level."
"What? It sounds a little unfree? It's not what you think. We will not force you to do anything. If you are unwilling to participate in the activities, at most you will only lose those benefits. Outside of the mission, you are completely free Action. This is the same as those of the mage mercenary groups outside."
"Okay, your interview is over, and we will notify you of the results within a week. Thank you for your participation, and I wish you a happy life..."
At the end of the day, the mages walked into the door of this house with different thoughts, but in the end, they all walked out with the same expression.
"Simon, how are you? Do they want you?" Mage Sean, who was waiting outside the door, asked quickly when he saw his friend coming out.
"I... I don't know either." Mage Simon seemed to have not recovered yet. He stayed for a moment and replied in a daze.
"Don't know? How could you not know?" Sean was a little confused.
Simon took a deep breath and stood there thinking for a while. He seemed to have experienced a huge shock and needed time to organize his words.
"What? They don't want you?" Seeing this, Sean tentatively spoke, as if he wanted to comfort the other person.
However, at this time, Simon's eyes suddenly became unbelievably firm.
"This... this is a once-in-a-lifetime position. I don't know if they want me. But... I believe that I have shown my comprehensive strength, which just meets their team needs." His tone became inexplicably passionate, "I With professional magic skills, rich working experience, and good ability to withstand stress... this position is definitely for me!"
Sean was confused when he heard this.
… What on earth is he talking about
Just like that, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Simon walked like a professional magician, and under Sean's stunned gaze, he slowly left here together with other mages.
