Yes, Benjamin is planning to carry out popular magic education in Border Desert City.
Magic is a skill that requires talent, but in this era, becoming a mage requires not only talent, but also opportunity. Being appreciated by the teacher, or accidentally coming into contact with magic knowledge, exploring on your own, and slowly embarking on this path - this random and inefficient way seems to be the only way to become a mage at the moment.
In this case, even if a person is very talented, but he always lives on the edge of the bottom, has no access to the spell, and relies only on self-enlightenment, his talent may never be discovered.
Therefore, Benjamin believes that this model can no longer keep up with current productivity and should be changed.
He wants the knowledge of magic to flow into the people and into the hands of every ordinary person. He wants to lift the mystery of the mage, completely change the pattern of the entire mage world, and let more people be exposed to this possibility.
Bianmo City is his first pilot city.
Of course, in addition to this, he also wants to train more mages, expand his team, and strengthen his own power. He wasn't just doing a good deed, it was a very practical act.
In the entire Bianmo City, the only thing he really cared about was actually this matter.
"This place is good. It used to be the stronghold of Desert Shadow. After reorganization, it is very suitable for use as a school for universal education."
Outside the city lord's official residence, in front of the largest house in the entire Bianmo City, Benjamin said this while taking the few mages who would stay to manage Bianmo City while visiting.
"Sir... you mean, school?"
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course it is not the kind of school that you think only nobles and wealthy businessmen would go to. In fact, your concept of school is too outdated. Regardless of rich or poor, the school should be for everyone. A place where everyone can come in.”
The mages who were following him were stunned for a moment.
Benjamin continued: "However, we don't have the energy to run a real school now. If you don't understand, you don't have to think too much. Just use this place as a base to distribute basic magic knowledge to the people. .”
If he really wanted to build a school in this situation, he would be thinking too much. After all, this is still Frieden's territory. If the commotion is too big and the higher-ups are alerted, the church has every legitimate reason to instruct the army to come over to "suppress the bandits" and regain the border city, but there is nothing they can do.
After hearing this, the mages also nodded and had no more questions.
In this way, things here were arranged, and Benjamin did not stay too long in Border Desert City. Early the next morning, he took the remaining mages and left here, heading straight to Riley City.
The mages who had been living in seclusion for many years felt a little excited about returning to Freden. Along the way, they kept asking questions, and Benjamin had no choice but to answer them one by one, just as he told them about Freden's current situation. And when they heard the whole story of the "Triangle Ghost" serial assassinations, they couldn't help but gear up, wishing they could participate in it.
"Sir, when can we participate in the battle against the church?" Someone felt itchy and couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you anxious? You will fight when the time comes." Benjamin smiled helplessly, "Right now, we don't have the ability to confront the church head-on."
This trip to the desert brought him a lot of gains. The addition of the reclusive mage, the Border Desert City, and some trophies from the "Shadow of the Desert"... However, to be honest, what is more important is that he suddenly realized that the "Declaration of Free Magic" created among Freden's mages Influence.
It has fully achieved the provocative power Benjamin expected.
Just in the Eastern Desert, it made this group of mages willing to follow him. So, what about other places in Freeden? How many mages, after reading this, have surging passion in their hearts, hoping to drive the church out of here
After sowing, it’s time to harvest.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but speed up his flight towards Riley City.
In this way, one day later, they successfully arrived at their destination.
Entering Riley City, everything has not changed much from when Benjamin left. The withdrawn missionary priests have not yet been released. Without those annoying figures, the streets look very quiet. The church doesn't seem to be taking any action.
Still, Benjamin was careful.
Before entering the city, he had some bad lessons with these mages as part of the underground party. Disguise, disguise, code connection... Although he has no foundation in this aspect, after so many practical exercises, he has also achieved a very high level in this aspect.
So, after disguising themselves, the mages divided into several groups and entered the city. Benjamin asked them to move freely first and get familiar with the city's environment. As for himself, he left a code for tonight's meeting at the alley, then returned to the hotel and fell asleep.
-Being the boss is really tiring.
Finally, the time entered night.
"These are mages from the Eastern Desert. After reading the "Declaration of Free Magic", they decided to join us. Although there are not many people, after a while, a larger group of people will come. Let's get to know each other first. .”
It was another remote abandoned house. Benjamin called all the mages under his command together and introduced it like this.
Upon hearing this, the mages looked at each other curiously and slowly began to introduce themselves.
The whole process of getting to know each other took more than an hour, but Benjamin was in no rush. This matter is quite important. There are not many of them, so they need to work together in the coming days.
Watching the crowd gradually quieten down, Benjamin cleared his throat and spoke again.
"Everyone knows that our goal is to fight against the church. Although there are more people now, it is still not enough. The church has thousands of priests stationed in Freden, not to mention the paladins and so on. I said it. We definitely can’t handle it alone, so we have to recruit people.”
After hearing this, Wallis said: "In fact, after contacting me these days, the mages in Riley City are quite supportive of our actions. But... they may still be a little distrustful, so they just support it. They Don’t dare to really join us and go against the church and the official Freeden people.”
Benjamin also nodded.
This is indeed a difficult problem to solve.
The desert mages are willing to join in droves, and part of the reason is Morris. They trusted Morris, and Benjamin convinced Morris, so they followed him so simply. But Freden's other mages obviously weren't so relaxed.
-They do not live in seclusion in the desert, but have their own reputation and status, and their own social roles, so they have to become conservative in doing things.
In fact, it would be nice if they were willing to support the "Declaration of Free Magic" and not come out to cause trouble like the monopoly leaders of "Desert Shadow"! Benjamin estimated that this was due to Master Finch.
"It's normal. Not everyone has the courage to stand up. It's enough that they are willing to support us." Therefore, he said, "However, we still have to try to recruit as many mages as possible."
Frank was a little confused: "What should we do? Shall we go to another job fair?"
Benjamin shook his head.
"It is already difficult for Riley City to recruit new people. We have to look across the country." He showed a smile and said slowly, "Just relying on a "Declaration of Free Magic" is not enough to promote it. We need to create a national Newspapers, and by the way, set up secret bases in various cities to attract more people to join us."
