In the end, Benjamin burned the village in the heart of the mountain, sealed the two entrances and exits, and left with his mages and more than a dozen newly rescued people.
The Gate of Annihilation has been solved and world peace has been maintained, and they don't want to stay any longer. Let this evil place be buried forever.
As for Benjamin and the others' original purpose of entering the mountain - to find the power of the reclusive Master Carrites, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
"We don't know the situation in other places, but in the past few months, there should be thousands of mages who have entered the Kandela Mountains." The rescued wizard said, "There is a legend that has been circulating in this area. , there is a magician’s paradise hidden in the Kandla Mountains. If you find it, you can retreat to the world of the sages. We all regarded that village as a legendary paradise, but in the end, only a few of us were left to be eaten."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
… Retreat to the world of the sages
To a certain extent, this legend is not a lie.
He entered the Kandela Mountains hoping to lead an army of mages out from here. Who would have thought that in the end, only a dozen exhausted survivors were brought out
The only good thing is that except for the cup, they didn't lose anything, and they also gained some unexpected gains.
"Have you sorted out the soul information of the two elders?" Thinking of this, Benjamin also urged in his heart.
Need I say more? What the system read from the pattern of the holy flame was not just the mental imprints of the two elders—their memories, just like Benjamin's previous memories, were also read by the system.
And the memories of those two elders were of great use to them.
"Why are you so anxious? Do you really think this thing is easy to use?" the system said impatiently, "The mental powers of the two elders were entangled for some reason, and then they were swallowed by the wolf. As a result, even the The memories of the alpha wolf were integrated into it. In the end, when those soul messages were conveyed through the holy flame, there were already a lot of damage."
"...It's still damaged? Does that mean it's difficult to read all their memories?" Benjamin was immediately disappointed.
The system replied: "Reading the mage's memory is originally impossible. I don't even know why the Holy Flame transmitted this information, let alone why I can decipher it. If you can read a little bit, you will be satisfied. Bar."
When Benjamin heard this, he had no choice but to nod.
Hope to get something useful.
There is nothing recorded in the village books. The special methods of the cannibal mage must only be hidden in the memories of the two elders. Although their methods are very evil and may have some harsh requirements, such as cannibalism, etc., but... there will always be something less evil, right
This is an ancient and unfamiliar magic system, and Benjamin believes that he will definitely gain a lot from it.
"Master Mage, where are so many of you going?"
The dozen or so rescued mages, following Benjamin and the others, began to walk toward the outskirts of the mountains, and they couldn't help but feel doubts. They finally found Benjamin and asked him this question.
Benjamin replied: "It's almost time. It's time for us to return to the town of Carites and continue fighting the church."
More than a dozen people looked at each other, confused: "...church?"
It seems that they still don't know anything about the situation.
Benjamin had to give them a rough explanation of the situation. The king secretly surrendered to the church, and the church began to assassinate the mages to create public opinion... This series of secrets that ordinary people did not know were thrown in the faces of the mages casually by Benjamin.
After listening, these mages also looked shocked.
"The church... there is an Iker in the middle. How could they reach out to Carites?"
Benjamin was also speechless. Where did this blind confidence come from
"Have you ever been to Hori Kingdom?"
The mages shook their heads.
"Then have you met anyone from the church?" Benjamin asked again.
The mages still shook their heads.
Benjamin sighed helplessly. The answer is already obvious. In the perception of the local mages of Carites, the church is just a concept. There is such a thing in the far west, but it does not exist in their real life.
What else could he say
Born in sorrow, died in happiness.
Therefore, as a mage from Horli Kingdom, Benjamin had to slowly educate them about the church-related situation. Although there were only a dozen people, they were all basic mages, and he still wanted to be included in his team. After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!
In the process, they gradually walked out of the Kandela Mountains.
Four days later.
On the outskirts of the mountains, there was a deserted grove. Benjamin announced the new plan, and his mages separated and left, as before, to the dozens of city strongholds they were responsible for to make the next move.
Benjamin also took people back to Amber City.
After being away for more than a week, Carrites seems to have not changed much compared to before. But there is no doubt that the influence of the new version of the "Declaration of Free Magic" has spread throughout the country.
Therefore, the first thing they had to do was to investigate the situation and see how many new local mages had been born in this week.
In addition, Benjamin had to rush through the secret letters from the king - they were almost piling up.
Sitting in the hotel, he first asked the system, and the system told him that the sorting was not completed yet and asked him to wait patiently. Benjamin had no choice but to put the matter behind him, opened the king's secret letters, and read them carefully one by one.
The content of the secret letter is roughly the church's actions these days. Obviously, Benjamin's nationwide street singing at that time made the bishop angry. They asked for help from the Kingdom of Hori and transferred a group of priests and paladins. At the same time, their spies hidden among the people are also desperately investigating the whereabouts of Benjamin and his party.
Unfortunately, at that time, Benjamin and the others were still fighting to the death with the cannibal mage in the mountains, so naturally they gained nothing.
Faced with the "Declaration of Free Magic" that continues to spread among the people, the church has also taken new measures. In addition to confiscating the book, even if you keep that book at home, you will be convicted of a very serious crime and sent directly to the gallows, without any room for argument.
When he first saw this place, Benjamin was shocked.
Damn it... so cruel
It is said that the "Declaration of Free Magic" has been distributed to thousands of households. If the church does this in the name of the king, isn't it afraid of causing a large-scale backlash
Later, the king explained it again in a secret letter.
Benjamin finally understood that the church was not trying to send tens of thousands of people to the gallows. All they want is a sword hanging over people's heads that may fall at any time.
Although the decree was promulgated, they did not implement it thoroughly. Instead, they caught one or two examples in each city and hanged them in public to scare the monkeys. As for the remaining people who were harboring the "Declaration of Free Magic", they made it look like they were going to arrest them, but they didn't arrest them on a large scale. Influential people don't care too much. Ordinary people look at luck. Whoever gets caught is unlucky.
