Benjamin also immediately returned to the Magic Academy.
He did not immediately start preparing for the Horli Kingdom. Instead, he came to the Rune Research Institute and found the person in charge, Master Abby, in the corridor and asked about the recent situation.
"The project we recently studied is the mental power enhancement array - based on the new runes you brought before." Master Abby pushed up his glasses, opened the record board in his hand, and said, "The progress is not fast, but half The results should be available in a few months.”
Benjamin nodded first, affirming the results of their work, and then asked: "During the process of studying the runes, did you feel any abnormality in the flow of elements around you?"
Master Abby frowned: "Why... Dean, why do you ask that?"
"Because I recently learned about the news that using runes on a large scale may be dangerous and may even cause elemental disasters. I would like to ask your opinion on this."
Hearing this, Master Abby lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Currently... there are no signs of elemental disasters. However, every time we try to arrange the rune formation, there will be some slight disturbances in the elements within a dozen meters. Disorder. We thought it was normal, so we didn’t pay special attention to it.”
Is this really possible...
Benjamin nodded immediately and said: "Then you will also allocate a certain amount of energy to study this phenomenon in the future, and strive to minimize the degree of elemental disorder at all times."
"We understand."
Master Abby nodded, turned a new page on the record board, and recorded it as a new project.
In this way, after dealing with the rune problem, Benjamin felt a lot more relaxed. If prevention is started from the very beginning, he believes that in the end, the runes will not lead to disaster as the mage inheritance warns.
He returned to the dean's office and gave orders to the people in the dark department of the college to carefully investigate the church's movements in the Kingdom of Horli. Sneaking into St. Peter's Cathedral is not an easy task. Even if Grant really leaves for some reason, they must be fully prepared.
And... just the benefits they can get out of it.
"You two, do you know what kind of telepathy skills the overseas sect members used on the king after they attacked Havenright?" He found the two siblings and asked.
The two siblings looked at each other, and the girl replied: "This... can only be confirmed if you see it with your own eyes."
Benjamin continued to ask: "If you really have the opportunity to confirm it with your own eyes, after confirming it, how confident are you that you can use it to control the king?"
—The king was possessed by telekinesis and was unable to maintain normal activities. This was the fundamental reason why the church placed him under house arrest. But now that the overseas sect has been destroyed and all the books have fallen into Benjamin's hands, the only people in the world who can use telekinesis are the people from their academy.
They might even use this opportunity to take control of the King of the Hori Kingdom.
This is the reason why Benjamin still agreed to Elizabeth despite feeling huge risks - controlling the symbol of royal power in the Kingdom of Horli is definitely a huge blow to the church.
Even those nobles probably could not have expected this scene...
"We should be able to." The young man replied, "There are only a few telekinesis techniques that can affect people's minds for a long time. They are all recorded in books, and we have learned them all."
Benjamin nodded when he heard this.
It seems that the things harvested from overseas sects have been put to many uses.
"Then... you go back and pack your things and follow me tomorrow."
The two siblings were a little surprised after hearing this, but they roughly understood the situation and didn't ask any more questions. They turned around and went back to prepare. Benjamin also took advantage of the little time left to work overtime to finish the affairs of the college.
The next day, he took the two of them and set off together.
"Go to a small town like Pearl Lake and give this letter to the tavern owner there. My father will meet you there to discuss specific matters." Outside the college, Elizabeth was also very happy that Benjamin was willing to join and gave the meeting information The token was handed over to him.
Benjamin nodded.
Elizabeth suggested that they get through the gate with the help of the Wood family, but Benjamin apparently thought that another method was safer, so he took his two siblings and set off on their own.
By walking into the abyss, he could even help the boy catch a ghost.
"There seems to be a very scary aura on the other side of the rift, and it's still staring at us." However, when they entered the abyss, the two siblings, who were extremely mentally sensitive, suddenly felt terrified and looked towards the world of the undead. go.
Benjamin naturally felt it too—the bone dragon was still there guarding him.
Facing the epic undead whose life span is almost eternal, he can guarantee that even if he steps slightly towards the abyss, the gray dragon's breath will immediately spurt out and burn him until nothing is left.
I'm afraid it won't be possible to visit the world of the dead in a short time.
"Don't worry about it, let's go our own way."
Therefore, Benjamin just used the soundproof ice ball to lead the two of them along the abyss and quickly entered the territory of Horli Kingdom. During this period, he also helped the young man catch a ghost, and the young man chose to keep the ghost in a sparrow. While on the road, he tamed another ghost sparrow.
"I thought you would bring out a ghost tiger or a ghost wolf." Benjamin was a little regretful about this. He was mainly curious about whether servants domesticated from different animals would have different abilities.
"...I just want to get one just like my sister."
When Benjamin heard this, he shrugged and said nothing.
There are other people studying telekinesis in the academy. Anyway, there are so many of them, it is impossible for everyone to choose birds. There will be many opportunities for experiments in the future.
In this way, they successfully entered the Hori Kingdom. Benjamin didn't stay too long on the road. News came from the secret department of the academy that Grant seemed to be really absent. They must hurry up and not wait until Grant came back from the Warcraft Mountains before taking action.
Finally, after spending a total of two days on the road, they arrived at the village on the shores of Pearl Lake.
"There are so few people here..."
After disguising himself, Benjamin stepped here again after many years and couldn't help but sigh. He still remembered that the last time he came here, a "plague" broke out in Havenlet, and a large number of civilians took refuge here, making the whole village look like a Spring Festival train station.
And at the bottom of Pearl Lake, there is the soul flame buried... or the old lady's remains that have been emptied out.
"After you finish your business, come here slowly to reminisce about the past." The system appeared and complained mercilessly.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
He first observed the situation and made sure there was nothing wrong before walking into the tavern that Elizabeth told him about. It was early in the morning, and the tavern was empty with no customers, so he walked to the front and handed the letter directly to the boss.
"Arrange for us to meet him."
The boss was a taciturn and strong man. After taking the letter, he looked at it for a few times, then opened the back door of the tavern and led them into the secret room at the end of the corridor.
In the room, waiting was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was wearing simple clothes and a mask on his face. When he saw Benjamin walking in, he took off the mask, revealing a face that Benjamin didn't recognize but the system recognized.
"That's him, Duke Colling Wood, the master of the Wood family." The system explained, "When you and Elizabeth were still engaged, their family often came to your home as guests, but after that... you naturally had no chance to see them. It’s his turn.”
Benjamin nodded and walked over.
"Duke Colin, I am Benjamin Reese, the dean of the Magic Academy. These two are my servants. It is an honor to see you here."
Colin smiled quite friendly and shook hands with Benjamin. He has a natural good-natured look and seems to be easy to talk to.
"Dean Benjamin, who would have thought that we would meet again under such circumstances?" He laughed and said, "I hugged you when you were just a few months old!"
“…”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
