Benjamin had his own ideas about how to screen these people.
Detachment action is just the beginning. He hopes to train these people's ability to quickly integrate into the team, and in order to ensure balance, he certainly cannot let them choose their own teammates, otherwise the test will be meaningless. Again, it really doesn't matter what these people's magical abilities are at the moment.
Therefore, the test of this probation period will become extremely important.
He would not really recruit 150 people. That would be too big a span, would be very difficult to manage, and would increase expenses dramatically. Therefore, among the ambitious mages in front of him, in the end, Benjamin only planned to keep half of them.
As for the assessment method, he has already thought of it.
"Starting from today, you will be divided into ten groups. You will be registered as ten mercenary regiments in the Mercenary Association, and you will be able to perform tasks freely." His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he said, "You can choose what tasks you want to do. , the proceeds from the mission will also belong to you. After one month, whose mercenary group successfully reaches the second level, even if they pass the probation period, they will officially become one of us."
As soon as this statement came out, many people showed a look of astonishment.
Is there such an assessment method
It's surprising enough that all the income goes to themselves - wouldn't Benjamin lose money by doing this? And to be honest, it is not easy for a fifteen-person mercenary group to reach level two within a month. The number of tasks that need to be completed is a bit challenging.
At least, a mercenary group didn't do this.
These people are all battle mages, so they naturally understand the difficulty of this matter. The improvised team of fifteen people cannot speak of cooperation and tacit understanding, let alone fighting. After exploring the wild for a few days, there may be quarrels among themselves, which is really troublesome.
However, the only thing that is certain is that they all want to pass the test.
Whether they are attracted by the robe exhibition or shocked by the modern concept of interviews, the biggest thing these mages have in common is that they want to become stronger. Only the desire for upward can drive them to leave their comfort zone, take steps, and accept the novel ideas in Benjamin's head.
Therefore, at this moment, what most mages are thinking about is not how crazy this test is, but whether they can get some reliable teammates.
If you want to complete the feat of crossing two levels in a month, you don't necessarily need to be very good teammates, but... they must not be cheated. Otherwise, even if they are very confident in their abilities, they will definitely be cheated miserably.
In this way, under their anxious eyes, Benjamin also handed out his group list. Following this, bursts of ** also came from the crowd.
"It's over, who are these? I don't know anyone in the team, so I'm in trouble now."
"As expected, we were not assigned to the same team. In order to increase the difficulty, they will definitely not let familiar people act together."
"Jack, Tom, Mary...who are they? Come out quickly and get familiar with each other. It's all up to you in the next month."
Looking at the mage team that was gradually becoming chaotic, Benjamin nodded and smiled.
When selecting people, he values a positive attitude the most. And up to now, this attitude has allowed the mages not to raise objections when faced with difficult problems, nor to give up, but to proactively seek solutions. This is the most admirable place.
Of course, he couldn't throw a challenge to these people and then just ignore it.
"This is us using the meditation rules ourselves. It is different from anything you have seen before. It can exercise mental power and elemental affinity at the same time, and it is extremely efficient." He took out the meditation rules adapted from the church and continued, "As long as you pass the test, I'll teach it to you."
Following his words, the mages all showed longing eyes.
Those who can come to Benjamin for interviews are not successful people, most of them are still in their infancy. Their meditation rules are basically entry-level, and they naturally understand how much a good rule can improve them.
However, Benjamin's preparations did not stop there.
"In addition, there is this." He took out a string of cross pendants from his pocket and continued, "This thing comes from the church. It can increase the spiritual power of the wearer. It is my trophy. The fastest team that passes the test, I The person with the best performance will be selected and this necklace will be awarded to him.”
Suddenly, the mage's eyes widened.
Another magic item!
Benjamin's generous move had completely shocked them. With so many good things coming out, how can anyone give them to others without hesitation
This time, their motivation was completely ignited. In a Japanese comic, their eyes would be lit with fire.
"However, you don't have to value it so much. Passing the test is the key." Benjamin added, "This is not a rare thing. In the future, you will have more opportunities to get better ones."
"Really, really?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Benjamin smiled, nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
As a result, the mages were gearing up one by one and eager to try. The difficulty of the entire test seemed to be forgotten by them at this moment.
Are you kidding me? To have such a benefit, I would risk my life to get it!
but…
When the excitement of the crowd subsided, Benjamin glanced at them and his expression slowly became serious.
"To be treated like this, you should understand that my place is different from others."
He had to make some things clear.
With everyone's focused gazes on him, he remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke, with a cold murderous intent revealed: "The troubled times are coming soon."
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke, and there was silence.
"You must have heard about the coup launched by the church in Ikol." Benjamin said, "You may think that the Kingdom of Hori is far away from us, and if we want to fight, we will fight against Ikol. But I can only Let me tell you, the spies of the church have already infiltrated Freeden and may launch an identical coup at any time."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Benjamin ignored their reactions, but instead spoke faster and faster.
"I'm telling you this, not because I want you to fight against the church and save Icol. We are all ordinary people, and we mostly want to live a good life. It is difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility. But I hope that in the change When it comes, we still have the ability to control our own destiny.”
"For this reason, we cannot be like stragglers, fleeing when something unexpected happens, hiding in the mountains like our predecessors, comforting ourselves that we are hermits who have not been born in the world. We have to stand together, stand in a conspicuous corner of this world, and let others People know that we have something to say about this world.”
"I know this may be difficult for you to accept. Those who want to give up can leave now." At this point, Benji closed his eyes, "And those who want to become stronger and want to master People who are responsible for your own destiny, raise your right hand. Not to show me, but to show to yourself whether you still have the courage to do something."
After speaking, throughout the hall, Benjamin closed his eyes, and the only thing that could be heard was silence.
This is probably the loudest silence in the world.
So he opened his eyes and smiled.
"I'm glad you made the right choice."
One hundred and fifty steadfast right hands were seen, like a forest of monuments rising from the ground, quietly raised high above Freden-Riley City, a simple house that had just been bought by Benjamin and used as a stronghold. middle.
