As soon as these words came out, everyone in the basement stared blankly at the captive mage, as if even they were dumbfounded.
"... Pretending?"
Benjamin couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook the prisoner's shoulder, feeling that the prisoner hadn't fully woken up yet and was unconscious before he said such words.
Unfortunately, no matter how he shook him, the prisoner still looked dazed, and even Benjamin and the old man didn't recognize him.
"Who are you? Where are you? Wait...who am I?"
Benjamin was speechless and held his forehead.
Well, if you drink the potion, you won't die, but it will give you amnesia. You said that if this mage loses his memory and can't even remember the previous spells, how is he any different from ordinary people
Headache…
The old man also frowned, pulled the prisoner's eyelids and checked for a while, and then said: "The potion's effectiveness should be neutralized by my potion. The queen can no longer control him."
Benjamin shook his head and said, "So what? He's just a fool. Even if the queen can control it, it's meaningless."
"No... I think the problem should be that the two medicines had some impact on his spirit when they neutralized each other, so this happened." The old man thought for a while and then said, "However, Regarding this situation... I still need to study it further."
"Can you improve the potion?" Benjamin asked immediately.
It doesn't matter what the principle is. It's basically impossible to put a potion into use that triggers signals when you drink it. Even if he tried his best to get all the mages in Icol to drink it, he would only end up with a group of ordinary people who had no ability to take care of themselves.
The church knows it and can laugh out loud in its dreams.
Therefore, they must develop a new antidote.
"No, the potion cannot be modified. Its ingredients are very complex. If you slightly weaken its irritation, it will not be able to have the desired effect." The old man gave a negative answer.
Benjamin's head hurt even more.
This means... His intention to rely on cracking the magic potion to cause the Mages Guild in Icol to collapse on its own and the Queen to betray her relatives is basically impossible to achieve
Then they may have a lot more tough battles to fight.
Fortunately, the old man added another sentence: "But... I don't think this amnesia is permanent. I'll think of something, maybe he can recover."
Benjamin frowned: "How long will it take to recover?"
The mages of Ikol suffered collective amnesia for a month, which was also the time for something big to happen.
But the old man spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
Benjamin was helpless, so he waved his hand and said, "Whatever... you go and get to work. I'm going back. Call me when you succeed."
After saying that, he shook his head, turned around and left here.
There was nothing he could do if he stayed here any longer. It would only make his mood worse. He might as well go out and see the academy. At least, everything in the academy is thriving, unlike the research here which is stumbling.
As time went by, students began to study in the Potions Department. Therefore, when Benjamin walked out, he met several students holding bottles and cans. They greeted Benjamin with some fear, probably because they were frightened by Benjamin's "Water Coming" before, and they haven't recovered yet.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly, walked out, and walked towards the teaching building.
After examination, it was clear that a group of good candidates had appeared among the students, and the people from the Mercenary Association had noticed this. They even sent people over to urge Benjamin to quickly start "internships" for students and perform tasks for them.
It seems a bit early, but which powerful mage doesn't grow up slowly in battle? Benjamin didn’t want to create a bunch of greenhouse flowers. Therefore, he also believes that the practical test should begin.
He will go to Wallis to arrange these things now.
"Now in the academy, there are a total of fifty-one students with a level that can begin to perform tasks." Benjamin put the list compiled by the system on the table and said slowly, "You can ask them what their wishes are, and then they will Form a team or something. By the way... everyone must be led by a teacher to fight Warcraft for the first time. You can also arrange this."
Wallis looked at the list and was a little surprised, but still nodded.
"What about the classes they missed?"
Benjamin shrugged and said, "Let's make arrangements. These are basically people from the top classes and can be arranged uniformly. Besides, you can come back to make up for missed classes. Practical experience is still very important."
Wallis nodded and asked no more questions.
Benjamin also touched his chin.
Although he didn't say it out loud, he was prepared to follow the first batch of students out secretly. There are still many people with ulterior motives, especially the first batch of students. There must be many eyes watching, and it will be troublesome if something unexpected happens.
He returned to his residence and meditated quietly for a few days. A few days later, this group of students set off for the nearest Mercenary Association branch. So Benjamin followed and watched all this from a distance.
After spending this time in the academy, he could finally breathe some air, and he felt refreshed.
"The dean must be too worried. He even sent a teacher to protect us. It's not like I've never traveled far. When I entered school, I came here by myself."
"Yeah... We have all learned a lot of low-level magic. It's just a mercenary mission. What's so difficult?"
Pretending to be a hunter who was traveling along the way, Benjamin vaguely heard the discussion among the students and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He could feel the desire of these students to prove themselves. However, what would they think if they knew that even the dean himself was following him here
There is no way, the dozens of most talented students should be more precious.
They had just entered Freeden at this moment, and were still two days away from their nearest city. The mountain road was rugged, and they were currently attacked by two groups of monsters, but fortunately they were relatively weak. Under the command of the teacher, the students successfully defeated those guys.
Because he had to pretend to be a passing hunter, Benjamin had to pretend to be frightened when the monster attacked. At that time, several students came over specifically to protect him from being killed by the monsters.
"It's okay, these monsters are very weak, just hide behind us."
At that time, the student patted his chest and said this, as if he was powerful and safe. Benjamin also couldn't laugh or cry.
However, this also shows from the side that the students' minds are relatively simple.
Benjamin couldn't help but wonder, should he add a course to teach these students how to deceive and how to prevent being deceived? It's not good to be too kind in college.
However, I thought about it again. He had learned about ideological and moral character for so many years. After learning, he should be bad or bad. It seemed that this kind of thing couldn't be taught in a class, so he had to give up in the end.
Leaving the mountains and entering the plains, Benjamin also left the team as a hunter, and then disguised himself as a middle-aged businessman and joined them again. The students were still unaware and kindly said that they were very powerful mages and could protect him along the way.
Benjamin could only squeeze out a reluctant gratitude and nodded.
"Are you mages? Great! I... we seem to be on the way, can you take me with you?"
At this time, several travelers on the roadside seemed to have heard their conversation, and walked towards them with expectant expressions.
