As soon as Dick left the room, Benjamin contacted the intelligence base set up by the academy's dark department in the Kingdom of Hori, asking them to launch an investigation as quickly as possible and collect relevant information.
Two days later, the results of the investigation were fed back to Benjamin through sound-transmitting wood chips.
"It is difficult for us to investigate the intelligence within the church, but as for businessmen, there are indeed many businessmen who are dissatisfied with the church in the Kingdom of Hori. In fact, there were some conflicts before, and now they are suddenly amplified, but so far, most of them The businessmen all chose to swallow their anger, not knowing whether they were planning to avoid the spotlight or had other plans."
Benjamin nodded as he listened to his subordinate's report.
So far it seemed that Dick had not lied to him. Most businessmen have always been at odds with the teachings of the church, and the church has always had only one attitude towards any class that may emerge in the Kingdom of Hori. It is normal for conflicts to arise at this time.
So... is he really going to take action
Although there was no way to know the information about the church, after thinking about it, he felt that this matter really had no harm to him. It's just a statement. The church is their mortal enemy. Even if they are so angry that they directly send troops to attack the academy, that is not a bad thing.
So, after some careful consideration, Benjamin gave a positive answer.
Dick left the college happily, and they quickly drafted the statement. The words were extremely sarcastic, reducing the church to nothing, and then encouraged the merchants of Horli Kingdom to seek refuge abroad. After finishing writing, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh, any priest who saw this thing for the first time would be pissed to death.
Then, he used the academy's influence in various countries to send the statement to various countries, and had people from the dark department of the academy secretly bring it to the Kingdom of Hori.
If given the chance, he would actually like to put up "small advertisements" all over the streets in Horli Kingdom. However, at the moment, they cannot afford to be so high-profile, so these statements will only be circulated within the merchants, and at the same time, they will also be "accidentally" known to the church.
The church is bound to be offended.
As for the reaction after that, we can only wait and see what happens.
After doing this, Benjamin's life returned to peace. Things in the Hori Kingdom will have to wait for a while to ferment, and the Foer family will send him news, so he doesn't have to worry.
He could only continue his daily college life patiently.
Receiving visitors, inspecting various places... The world outside is changing, but the academy is still peaceful and prosperous. The magic props department has begun to produce rune bucklers, and the potion department has gradually developed good production capabilities, and has established long-term and stable sales relationships with various surrounding forces.
Within a few days, the payment from the Foer family also arrived. In addition to gold coins, Benjamin also obtained a large number of elemental crystals. The effect of his use of this thing is now minimal, so he set these elemental crystals as rewards for this semester's final exam.
-For scholarships, the system must be gradually established.
However, Benjamin also unexpectedly discovered a stable source of the number of element crystals.
"This thing... can really produce elemental crystals?"
Previously, when he was dealing with priests from overseas sects in Glory, in the end, the priest's soul was inexplicably sucked away by the rune, and the entire rune became a stable and uncontrollable aggregator of elements. Benjamin couldn't keep it in Freden forever, so when he returned to the academy, he brought it back with him.
He handed the runes to the rune research team for research, but he did not expect that these people would come up with the results so quickly.
"This is a very miraculous reaction. We don't understand the underlying principle at all." A mage introduced to him, "However, this spontaneous aggregation of elements is very pure. If not used, it will It may cause disorder in the surrounding elements. Therefore, we arranged a friendly rune formation around it and found this result."
"…amazing."
In this spacious research room, Benjamin could not help but be a little amazed when looking at the scene in front of him.
Not far ahead, blue runes were suspended in the air, exuding a mysterious halo. Around the runes, circles of characters were carved on the floor and projected in mid-air, with some blue and white haloes emerging, even giving a subtle sci-fi feel. The elements that were attracted wandered among the carvings, and sometimes lights of various colors flashed.
In Benjamin's hand, a piece of water element crystal produced by this formation was also stuffed.
"Its production of crystals is not very fast. It takes about a week for a water element crystal to appear. In fact, it is even slower. I don't know why." The mage next to him explained.
Benjamin played with the crystal in his hand and nodded.
—After all, the original runes were drawn by him with water elements. Now all series of crystals can be produced, which is already quite good news.
It can produce element crystals. If this news is released to the outside world, I don't know how much fluctuation it will cause. Benjamin couldn't help but think of telekinesis and overseas sects.
Can runes react like this continue to be copied
If he could, if he released the news, a bunch of people outside would rush to fight the overseas sect, and Benjamin wouldn't even need to do it himself.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he still asked the people in the research team to keep this matter confidential.
In a short period of time, they would definitely not be able to find another mentally powerful telepathic caster, so they would not be able to replicate the scene at that time. In fact, if the matter is confirmed, Benjamin feels that it will definitely lead to all kinds of terrible bloody powers.
Specializing in training people to learn telekinesis, and after they have mastered it to a certain level, they can kill it and get this kind of rune... This kind of thing, Benjamin thinks, is a bit too morbid.
In short, no matter how many, now they have a stable source of element crystals, which is a good thing, they can just enjoy it secretly. In future college examinations, they can also steadily provide elemental crystals as rewards, which will undoubtedly be beneficial to the development of the college.
Benjamin sealed the laboratory. Only he and a few insiders of the research team had the key, and no one else was allowed in. Then, he simply moved the research team to another building and left the area where the crystal production array was hidden to prevent others from approaching.
Afterwards, he quietly waited for the development of things in the Horli Kingdom.
In fact, after making the statement, some businessmen from the Horli Kingdom began to cross the border and come to the academy to visit him. Of course, he could only express his welcome and help these businessmen introduce other business giants from various countries. He had to do a full play, and he had to convince the church that he really wanted to win over these businessmen.
Invisibly, Benjamin found that he seemed to have slowly established a strange business network in various countries.
When those merchants came to seek refuge with him, he would often sell them some excess potions and magic props at a cheap price and let them sell them outside. Gradually, more and more such retail investors accumulated, as if some strange business sect had formed. Everyone seemed to have a relationship with the Magic Academy, which led to businessmen from outside the Kingdom of Horli also starting to run to the academy.
"Dean, I also want to apply for sales channels for some college products. Is it possible?"
"Now that the academic business faction has just begun to develop in various countries, I suggest that, Mr. Dean, you should unite more powerful businessmen like us. Dominating all countries is just a matter of waving your hand."
When he first heard the term "academic business school", Benjamin was a little confused.
When did he come up with this thing
There was no way, the original intention of the whole thing was just to anger the church, and he didn't expect that the Horli merchants he supported would cause such a disturbance. Of course, there is no need to think about dominating other countries. Those are just big words blown by others.
However, as the college gets on the right track and there are more and more products, how to sell them is indeed a matter worth considering.
Part of the sales rights have been sold to sponsors such as Master Finch a long time ago, but... the academy has great potential, and they still have many products in their hands, and they have not let anyone sell them as agents for the time being.
At that moment, Benjamin suddenly felt that the "academic business school" seemed to be a good idea.
