The two siblings looked at each other and said hesitantly: "But... the scene you just described is indeed very similar to the appearance of ancestral spirits written in a book. Their souls will be attached to some beasts, and then they will have the ability to control elements. The ability is very powerful.”
Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
As for the "very powerful" part, he didn't care about it for now. The other parts were quite similar. This seems to be a special method developed by overseas sects, which allows ghosts to exert different effects.
So... what's the difference between their method and Benjamin's approach
With this in mind, he suddenly spoke and asked slightly provocatively: "If I let you do whatever you want with this ghost, can you develop this method of 'taming the ancestral spirit'?"
"This... we can't do it."
"Let's give it a try. Anyway, with the methods of mages like us, this kind of spiritual body is very scarce, and it is probably difficult to research anything." Benjamin advised, "You have received the most orthodox training in telekinesis, you must You can find something from this."
After hearing this, the two siblings turned their heads to look at the ghost in the glass cover, and finally chose to nod.
Benjamin also turned around and left with satisfaction.
He gave the two men the right to enter and leave the undead research building freely, and also introduced matters related to telekinesis to others in the building. So far, telekinesis, like the undead, is a secret hidden in the academy, and only a few people know it. However, Benjamin estimated that the matter of the undead would be exposed earlier than the telekinesis.
-Anyway, even if the undead are exposed, the church cannot rely on the power there, so it doesn't matter.
In this way, the college temporarily settled down. Research on various projects is progressing hand in hand, but there has not been much breakthrough yet. After the old man extracted the residue with the smell of death from the wreckage, he was unable to decipher anything from the residue.
We still have to wait until the holidays are over, when the mages in the academy are free, and Benjamin can go to the world of the dead again.
In addition, the establishment of the academic business school has also begun to take shape. The first batch of franchised merchants have completed the construction of their stores, and have opened more than ten chain stores in various parts of the three countries. We are still waiting to see the response, but now, the college can earn hundreds of more gold coins every day.
Benjamin thought that the days before the end of the semester would end with dealing with these chores, but he did not expect that half a month later, an unexpected visitor would appear in the dean's room.
"Dean Benjamin, I have admired your name for a long time."
Looking at his peaceful face after his robe was lifted, and the cross he wore on his chest, there was no doubt that this man was a priest.
Benjamin sat on the chair and stared at the other party playfully.
"The priest who came to the territory of my magic academy, you are quite courageous." He said slowly, "Who asked you to come, Grant? Or did you decide to abandon your so-called faith and become a mage specializing in light elements? ?”
The priest lowered his head and said without changing his expression: "His Majesty the Pope sent me here."
"Oh? Why did he send you here? Did he think that if I killed one more priest, God would punish me, so he sent you to sacrifice yourself?"
"Dean, you are joking." The priest did not pay attention to the sarcasm and threats in Benjamin's words, but continued, "A few days ago, we lost something very important. I guess it is probably in your hands. So I had to come over and ask.”
When Benjamin heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
…that key.
Realizing this, he was already quite surprised at the moment.
How could such a huge church be forced to this point? The key was so important to them that they wanted to stop people at the border but failed to stop them. In the end, they actually sent a priest to beg for mercy in a low voice.
Benjamin even wanted to laugh a little.
"What is it? Your church can't take good care of its own things, so why come here and ask me?" But on his face, he put on a blank and innocent look as he asked.
"Really?" The priest took a deep breath and seemed a little offended by Benjamin's words. "The people who went on a killing spree in the Horli Kingdom half a month ago and killed hundreds of us priests and paladins, and Who could it be?"
Benjamin spread his hands and expressed surprise: "Really? It's amazing... But I really don't know. If you find that person, please let me know. At least give that hero tens of thousands of gold coins." To express the gratitude from my heart.”
"you… "
The priest was speechless for a moment. It seemed that the messenger's professional ability was not very good.
Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head.
"Okay, get out." He opened his palms, and a few snowflakes continued to gather and disperse in his palms. "Since you were polite when you came in and didn't bring any magic items with you, I'll keep you here. A life. Please don’t do anything extreme when you leave, otherwise..."
Having said this, he smiled and did not continue. The snowflakes in his palm have turned into an exquisite ice and snow dagger, waving symbolically in mid-air.
"No, that thing is very important to us, and I will not leave it." The priest said with a serious expression, "It has no effect on you, as long as you are willing to hand it back, we can pay a certain price. "
"The price?" Benjamin sneered and said, "Are you still worthy of your faith? Mages are all the incarnations of the devil, and you are making a deal with the devil now!"
"You don't have to worry about this, just give it back to us."
Benjamin shook his head and said, "What price are you willing to pay?"
"A total of one hundred crystals of various elements." The priest raised his chin and said slowly, "Plus the evacuation of the spies we have arranged in various countries, is this price enough?"
Benjamin rolled his eyes inwardly.
"Who are you sending this thing away?" He didn't bother to pretend anymore and said, "Do you think I really don't know what that leaf means? The door to another world, the inheritance of the church, the depth of St. Peter's Basilica The secrets of... save it, I know a lot more than you think."
Sure enough, after he told the key information, the priest also had a look of astonishment on his face.
"You...where did you know that?"
Benjamin deadpanned, "From places you would never expect."
“…”
The priest clenched his fists and said nothing for a while. It was probably because the conditions he initially proposed did not match the value of the key, and he could not propose a better condition, which put him in a very embarrassing situation.
Seeing this, Benjamin was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Interesting loyalty... You should know that your Pope killed his father with his own hands, right?"
