Soon, the one hundred and fifty mages in the hall set off boldly like soldiers on an expedition.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that he is quite talented in MLM brainwashing!
"Teacher Benjamin. What you just told them is that the spies of the church are lurking in Freden and may launch a coup at any time... Is it true?" However, at this time, Joanna came over and joined other mages from the old team. , looked at Benjamin nervously.
Hearing this, Benjamin also returned to his serious expression.
He nodded.
There is no need to hide this kind of thing. After all, the church is the eternal enemy of the mage. Even if this news spreads from the mouths of those probationary mages, he feels that it is appropriate - and it is a great good thing.
The mages of Freden live so leisurely that they forget that true peace has never come. If Benjamin's move could alert them, even if he would be resented by those church spies in the future, or even be retaliated for, he would still feel it was worth it.
Besides, as long as it’s a mage, is there any church that doesn’t hold a grudge
Those people were so insignificant in Freden that no trace could be found, and Benjamin wished they would come and cause trouble for him!
"Our family must stop them!" After receiving a positive answer, the mages said this one after another.
"They are well hidden. Don't rush to find them. Just be more careful." Benjamin shook his head and reassured them, "Don't worry, they will show their flaws one day. When the time comes, we will let them know." They feel the fear of magic."
After hearing this, although everyone was unwilling to do so, they still nodded and resisted the desire to go find the spies immediately.
They still have things to do.
Although it was impossible for them to supervise the entire assessment process of one hundred and fifty employees, at least someone from the Mercenary Association had to keep an eye on it. They have to understand the process from establishing a mercenary group to completing tasks to leveling up, otherwise someone may cheat.
Just like now, they have to hurry up and follow.
As the invigilator, Benjamin led people to the Mercenary Association, supervised the mages, and completed the registration of ten zero-level mercenary groups. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. From this moment on, the one-month assessment period officially began to count.
In the following days, five mercenaries, led by Edmund, will take turns to stay at the Mercenary Association. They will disguise themselves, eavesdrop on the side, and record the completion process of these mages.
—They will ensure the fairness of the assessment, so Benjamin and other elders don’t have to worry.
The elder mages should do whatever they want, such as the production of magic props, which are very important things and should not be delayed. Therefore, Benjamin also found two more mages who were not good at fighting and asked them to help the boss lady make magic props to improve the production efficiency of the troublemaker.
As for Benjamin himself…
Finally, briefly freed from recruiting, he was able to investigate the four thieves and the mysterious elder that night.
This matter has been left alone for long enough.
"Do you know where this type of flint is produced more often?"
In a shop in Riley City, Benjamin put that night's flint on the counter, followed it with two gold coins, and asked.
When the shopkeeper saw the gold coin, he immediately showed a flattering smile, picked up the flint and looked at it carefully.
"No one is really using flint and steel in the city now." He looked at it carefully and said slowly, "There are several production areas in the country, but because no one wants them, they have gradually stopped producing them. . Your piece of flint... doesn't look that old, it should have been produced recently."
Benjamin quickly asked: "So, you know where this thing is produced?"
The store manager nodded.
"I'm not sure, but the only place in the country where this thing still exists is Border Desert City in the east. As for foreign countries, I'm not very sure."
… oh
Benjamin's heart moved.
He remembered clearly that Mage Finch had told him before that there might be some strange people who knew how to make magic props hidden in the desert of East Freeden. And now, the store manager said that this kind of flint is only produced in Border Desert City in the east.
As soon as the two clues overlap, the credibility immediately becomes very high.
In his mind, the system also popped up at the right time to explain to him the general situation around Bianmo City.
To the east of Freden is the endless desert, and no one knows what is on the other side of the desert. In the transition zone between the two, the eastern desert of Frieden is formed. As for Border City, it is considered the central city in the desert. Most people will pass by that place if they have something to do.
Do you want to go there
Even if we fly at the fastest speed, it will take two or three days to get from Riley City to the Eastern Desert, let alone conducting investigations there. The situation is more complicated now, and Benjamin is a little worried about whether there will be any problems here in Riley City.
"Thank you for your message. These two gold coins are yours."
Just like that, thinking about his next action, Benjamin thanked the store manager and turned to leave.
He was walking on his way home.
"Am I being a little overprotective of the mages in the team?" Suddenly, he said in his heart, "They are all adults with hands and feet, their magic skills are pretty good now, and there are a few people who can handle things. As long as it's not a particularly serious situation, they should be able to handle it."
"...You have already figured it out so clearly, why are you asking me?" The system was helpless.
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
That's true.
Then... just go to Bianmo City
"Wait a minute!" However, the system suddenly spoke, almost startling Benjamin, and said, "The people passing by on your left just now are the four assassins that night. They can't be wrong."
… What
Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Fortunately, he resisted and did not look back. Instead, he used the water element induction method to reach back. Behind him, he saw four seemingly ordinary passers-by, talking to each other about something and passing by with normal expressions. They seemed to be just ordinary passers-by on the streets of Riley City.
However, Benjamin often disguises himself and already has considerable experience. Coupled with the insight of the water element, he finally confirmed the identities of these four people.
It's really them!
Suddenly, Benjamin was filled with doubts.
Why are they still here
That night, these four people relied on weird magic props to escape out of thin air and saved their lives. Shouldn't they escape from Riley City quickly? Why are you now pretending to be a passerby and walking on the street without scruple
It's weird...
However, putting aside the doubts about the whole thing, this is good news for Benjamin.
The problem of traveling far away is solved, and the person is right in front of you. As long as they don't let them run away again, there's no need to go back to the Eastern Desert.
Therefore, Benjamin gave a sly smile. He used the water element induction method to lock onto the four people and quietly walked around a side road. He turned around on the path, turned around, and quietly followed the four people at a certain distance.
