Benjamin followed the man in the suit to the backstage of the theater.
The backstage was huge, but in contrast to the people coming and going, it didn't look spacious at all. Guys in all kinds of strange clothes passed by here: a young man in an evening dress and a high hat, a girl in a short skirt with big curly hair, a clown who was as fat as a ball... There was also a person who had a knife on his head. The wig was passed by, and the blood-stained violin was held in his hand.
It's also an extremely noisy place. There were people who looked like managers, people who looked like actors, people who made props, people who made makeup, people who made music... Countless people gathered together in piles, and they didn't know what they were talking about. In short, on the eve of the performance, the atmosphere backstage was as intense as a war.
Benjamin was quite happy about this.
In such a noisy place, if he felt something was wrong, he could sneak away at any time, so there was nothing to worry about.
However, once there are more people, it may not be so easy for Benjamin to find the owner of the robe fragment.
He roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people in the backstage. Finding one person among hundreds of people is not an easy task.
"Here, this is Mr. Henry. All you have to do is cooperate with him." Soon, the man in a suit brought Benjamin to a young man with a tall hat and said.
Mr. Henry looked like a arrogant magician, nodded and said nothing.
Benjamin didn't react at all. He was too busy observing the people around him to react.
Seeing this, Magician Henry frowned.
"Is this okay? It is indeed very real to find a beggar to play the beggar, but will it be too real? I feel that this child does not have the ability to cooperate with me to complete the magic, and a professional actor would be a better choice. "
The man in the suit smiled bitterly and replied: "Mr. Henry, there is no way. Only your performance needs a beggar, but these actors in the capital are all big names, who wants to play a little beggar? You don't know the temperament of these actors They are all very big, and it really can’t be compared to just someone from the circus outside. Mr. Henry, you’d better make do with it.”
After hearing this, Henry snorted dissatisfied and muttered something like "It's better to just pull someone from the circus", but didn't ask for anything more.
However, at the same time, Benjamin, whose mind was not here, suddenly felt a slight movement from the elements.
oh
He couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he discovered the clues so easily.
The elements are changing. This must be the mage's fault.
However, how does he confirm whether a person is a mage
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Benjamin suddenly let go of his elemental induction. Without anyone noticing, he began to use the water element perception method to feel everything around him.
The essence of magic is to communicate with elements. There must be something unusual about the elements around the mage. Benjamin thought so.
I saw that in the blue water element world, the entire backstage seemed extremely lively. Most water elementals are normal, floating aimlessly in the air. But around some people, the water element will surround them and operate in an unnatural way - including the magician Henry in front of him.
…Henry the Magician
This result made Benjamin stunned for a moment, and he was a little unable to react.
Are these people all mages
Counting, there are nearly forty people like this in the background.
Damn...
Benjamin could hardly believe his eyes.
Did he see it wrong
In order to confirm that his opening method was not wrong, he even took back the water element induction method, and then let it out again to feel the changes of the water element in the background again.
The result is still the same.
Realizing this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a breath.
… It’s a big win.
He had expected that the mage was hidden in this theater. But what he never expected was that this theater would actually be the mage's den!
The Foer family...are awesome.
Benjamin also knew that some nobles would secretly raise a few mages in their territories. However, raising thirty or forty of them together in the royal capital, and putting them on stage for performances, this must be so fucking courageous!
Benjamin was immersed in deep shock and could not extricate himself.
While he was absent-minded, the man in the suit and Henry had also completed the handover. The man in the suit left, and Henry took Benjamin to the other end of the backstage.
They came to a big box.
"As long as you hide in this box, someone will come and put the box on the stage. When I knock on the box three times, you push the box away and walk out. Remember, the expression on your face must be blank, you know? ?”
Benjamin barely recovered and nodded.
Knowing that these people were all mages, he didn't know how to face this "magician" Henry.
Magician... is indeed a good concealment of identity. Even if a magic trick is used in public, the ignorant onlookers will only think it is a wonderful magic trick, and maybe they will applaud.
Benjamin complained a few words in his heart. However, he found that even complaining could not eliminate the absurdity in his heart. The disbelief still lingers in my mind.
More than thirty mages!
Are all the mages in the capital here
Just like that, while sighing, under Henry's command, he also hid in the box.
The box was closed, and everything was dark. Benjamin subconsciously used the water element induction method again. Maybe he still couldn't believe it all, so he turned his attention to others again and confirmed it again. Yes, the water elements around these thirty or so people all had abnormal movements. Not only that, Benjamin could also vaguely feel that the mental power of these people was sharper than ordinary people.
So... they are really all mages.
However, this time, he made a new attempt.
Under the influence of the water element, he returned his gaze to himself. Unexpectedly, through the induction of elements, Benjamin discovered that there was nothing abnormal about the water element around him.
this…
Interesting.
Is it because of the consciousness space? He took a completely different path from other mages, hence this difference.
After thinking about it carefully, Benjamin quickly understood the truth.
Ordinary mages practice magic by constantly tempering their mental power and elemental affinity. And when the elemental affinity is strengthened, the elements around them will naturally undergo some changes.
Not only that, when they perform magic, they also use the surrounding elements. Therefore, this phenomenon is also their preparation for performing magic.
Benjamin is different. His elemental affinity is not good, and he relies on magic characters, so the surrounding elements will not be affected. And his magic relies on the water element stored in the consciousness space, which has nothing to do with reality.
Indeed... an interesting difference.
Thinking about it this way, using the consciousness space to learn magic can infinitely amplify the power of a magic. I am afraid it is also for this reason.
No matter how dense the elements in reality are, they cannot exceed a certain level. Therefore, relying on the elements to cast spells in reality, the magical power of ordinary mages has its limits. In the consciousness space, as long as the magic characters are strong enough, it doesn't matter how dense the elements are, so there is no limit to the power of casting spells using the consciousness space.
I see.
After understanding this, Benjamin felt that his understanding of magic became a little clearer.
Therefore, even though he was hiding in the box where he couldn't see anything, he was still in a happy mood.
Eh…
etc.
Something doesn't seem right.
