Benjamin did not rush back to Longhe Town, but stayed for a while between Glory and Hill City.
The church will definitely still send messengers. If the envoy they sent was more eloquent, or the queen was not irritated enough, and the real envoy went over to explain, it might lead to the failure of the entire alienation plan.
Of course Benjamin would not allow this to happen.
Therefore, on a mountain road, he found the messenger sent by the church.
Without saying anything more, Benjamin hid in the dark and killed the messenger with one shot. The messenger might have a listening cross on him, so it was difficult for Benjamin to show up, so he could only use this method.
After that, he walked away and never stayed in this area again.
Killing the messenger will definitely slow down the church's actions for a while. A few days later, the Queen's army attacked near Glory, and the conflict intensified, making it impossible for them to unite.
After doing all this, Benjamin spent another half day and returned to Changhe Town smoothly.
There was still no word from Miles, but Benjamin had given up hope. This guy has always been elusive and never showed up, and there is nothing anyone else can do.
But in Changhe Town, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
"Villages in many places have sent letters expressing their willingness to support His Majesty the King. Carmo and Angus villages... In just a few days, many places have actually surrendered. Some cities have also sent people to investigate the situation. It seems that there are surrenders. intention.”
The ten-member elite mage team has entered Changhe Town, and Tony reported to Benjamin.
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
From this point of view, it seems that the king can recover many places in Carites without any bloodshed!
Of course, they are all corners and corners, but the focus is still on the center and Glory. If they can defeat Glory, it will actually be equivalent to the success of the restoration of the country, and the remaining places in Caretes will be surrendered on their own.
However, they certainly won't do it that easily.
"How's the magic talent thing going?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked again.
"It's pretty good." Tony looked very excited and replied, "His Majesty gave us a large area of the town, and also found all the talents on the list. There are thirty or forty people gathered now, In addition, the group of apprentices have also rushed back one after another, and we now teach almost hundreds of apprentices."
"... It's almost a hundred?" However, Benjamin was not particularly satisfied with this.
After all, he is just an apprentice, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield in a short time. He develops magic trade at this moment because he wants to find those with better talents, quickly train them into mages, and then become the backbone of the fight against the church.
And this kind of excellent talent may only be found in one among dozens of apprentices. Therefore, a hundred people were not enough for them.
"There will be more people coming." Tony said with certainty, "His Majesty also mentioned our matter when he announced it to the whole country. So now, all Carites know that we have magic to learn here. , those who have been inspired by the Free Magic Manifesto will come here."
"hope so… "
Benjamin nodded.
"So, Master Benjamin, we only have these people here, are they enough?" Tony spread his hands again and said, "Joanna had already started complaining yesterday that there were too many apprentices and she couldn't teach them. The army of mages is still on the grassland. Here, it’s time to call them over too, right?”
Benjamin heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "No, let's keep the large army in the grassland, and call a dozen more people to come over to help. Our position in the grassland is already very stable, and we cannot give up casually."
"All right… "
In this way, a lot of detailed information was reported, and Benjamin gradually became familiar with Changhe Town. He followed Tony to the place assigned to them by the king - a residential area in the west of the town. The renovation is still in progress, but the appearance of a mage settlement has begun to take shape. Tony pointed to the largest house here and told Benjamin that it was the residence assigned to Benjamin by the king.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but nodded.
Not bad... at least he is a king who repays his kindness.
In the center of this "mage area", there is a relatively spacious square. It used to be deserted, but after being tidied up, it has now become an excellent place for apprentices to connect with magic.
As soon as Benjamin walked into this square, countless people's eyes focused on him.
"That person... was the mage who summoned the Sky Castle that night! He is really powerful. Can we also learn to that level?"
"He is our leader. He took us all the way from the west to the east of Carites."
"Teacher Benjamin, you are finally back!"
Among these people, there were locals from Changhe Town who had only seen Benjamin fighting the bishop that night, but did not really know Benjamin; there were also apprentices who had followed Benjamin through countless villages. When they saw Benjamin, they immediately showed reverence. The look in their eyes; and the ten mages were obviously a little overwhelmed by the guidance.
Countless people surrounded Benjamin, which made Benjamin a little bit overwhelmed.
"Um...everyone is doing whatever he wants. I just came over to take a look."
Forgetting his previous acquaintances, the new apprentices all looked at him with curious eyes, making him very embarrassed.
"Teacher Benjamin, what kind of magic did you use that night?" a newcomer asked.
"Hmm... It's the ice-breaking technique." Benjamin hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
The ten mages looked helpless, obviously accustomed to Benjamin's "entry-level magic". As for the apprentices, they were a little confused. They might have thought that what they had learned was a fake ice-breaking technique.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone, all magic has potential that can be tapped." Seeing this, Benjamin had no choice but to cough a few times and encourage him, "The important thing is to find the direction that suits you, think more, and study hard. Everyone will be able to change." Strong."
He felt like a class teacher, but... Is there any way? If you want to be the boss, you must learn how to give him chicken soup.
Looking at the expressions of the apprentices, they seemed to be quite yearning, and Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. In that way, these old-fashioned chicken soups are still very effective for these apprentices who have just entered the magic circle.
Therefore, he nodded, said a few words casually, sent everyone back to practice magic, and then sneaked away from the square.
After resting for a while in his new home, he went to the center of the town again to see the king and inform the king of the news he had learned during his trip.
However, what Benjamin did not expect was that as soon as he walked in from the gate, he found the king receiving guests.
"Master Benjamin, you are finally back! Come, come, meet this General Hawke. After hearing my news, he immediately rushed here, preparing to bring his army back to my command."
