Three days later.
In Freeden's capital city - Sheidi City, Benjamin dressed up as an ordinary person and walked into the city.
It was late afternoon and the capital city was as peaceful as usual. On the neat streets, pedestrians and vendors were coming and going, and soldiers were patrolling in an orderly manner, as if nothing had happened.
Looking at such a scene, Benjamin could only pray in his heart, hoping that nothing really happened.
Before coming here, he also went back to Riley City.
Everything was calm in Riley City, and the probation period assessment for one hundred and fifty people was still in progress. However, Benjamin knew very well that there was no time for them to slowly assess here.
Therefore, he held a meeting with the elder mages.
In the secret meeting, although Benjamin did not tell them everything, he had expressed the critical nature of the current situation. Everyone was a little confused and didn't know what happened, but just as they had always done - they chose to believe Benjamin.
"Teacher Benjamin's judgment will never be wrong!" Joanna said.
So, under Benjamin's instructions, they quietly contacted the mages on probation, asking them to gradually stop their activities and organize them in another way. As for themselves, they suddenly made themselves low-key in Riley City, as if they were invisible.
On the day Benjamin set off for Snowy City, they packed up their things, got together as a group, and hurriedly left Riley City in full view of everyone. Then they disguised themselves and hid back.
"During this period, you should clear out the house, hide carefully, and wait for news when I come back." This was the order Benjamin gave them.
When he went to Xuedi City, he had a premonition that he would encounter some changes, and it might even be dangerous. But the situation was such that he had to go. Therefore, he left this hand in advance. If an accident happens, it can be regarded as leaving a way for myself and these mages to survive.
-No matter what, Benjamin never fights an unprepared battle.
After giving all these instructions, he quietly left Riley City and flew all the way to Xuedi City.
In this quiet afternoon, Benjamin went straight to the headquarters of the Master Freemasonry.
The general building of a city library was no different from the last time he came here. Even the housekeeper who looked after the door had not changed. Only this time, Benjamin did not walk in again. Instead, like a real passerby, he passed by the wall with a calm expression while using the water element to explore the world inside the wall.
After being discovered by the bald mage last time, he was much more careful this time.
In this way, after checking one empty room after another filled with books, Benjamin finally found a place similar to a warehouse in the corridor classified as a "forbidden area".
There are two mages sitting in the warehouse.
Afraid of arousing alarm, Benjamin glanced at it twice before looking at other things in the warehouse. This warehouse is relatively empty, and the items stored are relatively simple, mostly a material called silver leaf grass.
Seeing this, Benjamin took a deep breath.
Can’t be wrong…
He still remembered what Master Finch told him.
It is a kind of material that is friendly to the Holy Light. The church has great demand for it, but no one on the mage side needs it. Master Finch also said that there have been spies from the church in Fredenne who buy large amounts of silver leaf grass and then smuggle it to the Kingdom of Hori.
Benjamin didn't expect that he would verify the wheelchair man's words so quickly.
The Master Masons are really doing a good job for the Church.
"Hey, super invincible artificial intelligence, can you read lips?" Suddenly, Benjamin asked in his heart.
In the warehouse, the two mages were immersed in writing something just now, but now they have raised their heads and started talking. After what he had just felt, Benjamin felt that these two people had average mental strength and could not detect Benjamin, so he came up with the idea of eavesdropping.
He wondered what the two men were talking about.
"Do you think I am Doraemon? I can conjure anything for you?" the system replied unceremoniously.
"Didn't you compile a face database before? The language system is actually the same." Benjamin did not give up, saying, "I can scan their mouth shape, oral cavity, and tongue... Through these things, I can communicate with you It shouldn’t be difficult for you to compare the previous databases and then identify a sentence.”
The system was silent for a while, and then spoke reluctantly: "... Let me give it a try."
At this moment, the two people in the room had stopped communicating. However, after the observation just now, those pictures have been stored in the system's database through the water element, and can be recalled and watched repeatedly, so it doesn't matter.
Benjamin waited for the system's analysis results and continued walking along the road.
He was still exploring more rooms within the walls.
Probably his perception has entered the scope of the "forbidden area", and the things he sees gradually become worth pondering. There was a room full of assassins, and I didn’t know who it was for. In another room, several mages were discussing issues, and there were many names of Minister Freden written on the paper...
From the outside, the Master Masonic Lodge appears to be a laid-back place away from the rest of the world. Looking from the inside, this group of people was extremely busy, preparing something, and the whole building smelled like a storm was about to come.
Seeing this, Benjamin felt a little lucky in his heart.
If he hadn't been arguing with the man in the wheelchair for a long time over the magic props, he might not have even been alert at this moment, let alone come here to peep.
He really escaped with his life.
However, gradually, Benjamin did not dare to peek anymore.
He has already discovered several powerful mages. If he stays for a few seconds longer, those people may become alert. And Benjamin also knows very well that he must not let them find out, otherwise he will alert the snake in the grass, who knows what will happen next
The rebellion of the Masters and Freemasons has been confirmed, and the most important thing now is to meet the king.
- It's time for him to tell the king all this!
Therefore, at the next intersection, Benjamin turned around and walked towards the palace.
"The results are out." Walking on the road approaching the palace, the system finally spoke and said, "But... it may not be accurate. You can understand it by looking at it."
Immediately, it relayed the conversation between the two mages in the warehouse to Benjamin.
"Why do we have to hoard so many silver-leaf grasses? This thing seems to be of no use."
"According to the instructions from above, it is said that there are a lot of Holy Light-type monsters recently, and there is a huge demand for Holy Light resistance potions, so I purchased these. Don't ask me, I don't know."
"Hey, do you think the atmosphere here has been weird lately?"
"Shh... stop talking. What if someone hears you? Let's get to work quickly."
"All right… "
The dialogues were quite short, and the system polished them so that they would not be as inaccurate as Google Translate. However, after listening, Benjamin fell into deep thought.
Although there is little content, judging from their attitudes, most of the mages in the Master Freemasonry probably don't know who they are serving.
In other words, they are still kept in the dark.
That...if they realized they were serving the church...
Benjamin suddenly felt that he might have found some ideas to deal with the Master Freemasonry.
