In the early morning, Royal Capital Eloria City woke up from his deep sleep.
Benjamin put on a simple set of mercenary uniforms and walked out of the mansion alone.
The sun penetrates the mist, casting golden light spots on the rows of houses. The sounds of children playing, the cries of vendors, and the clatter of horse hooves interweave into a piece of music full of vitality.
Looking at the vibrant scene in front of him, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh, "Oh... finally I don't have to be stupid over there anymore..."
Benjamin has not been having a good time these days. Under the deliberate guidance of the three mission leaders, basically every day's negotiations end in quarrels.
Occasionally, if you are unlucky, it will develop into a group fight.
The group of Dwarf seemed drunk when they were negotiating. When it came to fighting, they were even more enthusiastic than Orc.
Benjamin was affected several times even when he was sitting in the auditorium. At first, he did not do much to take care of his own image, but later he couldn't bear it anymore and greeted everyone with fists, which made his nose and face swollen.
Come to think of it, this actually works quite well.
At the end, even King Ottorek III couldn't stand it. He felt that if Benjamin continued to fight like this, there would be no one in the entire envoy who could represent him, so he hurriedly stopped his work of observing.
This also made Benjamin relieved.
So today, Benjamin has time to take a good stroll around the royal city.
Walking on the street, Benjamin couldn't help but think about the three leaders of the foreign envoys.
"It's really strange. What is the purpose of these three people? To prevent the union between several civilizations? No, no one should be so stupid."
Yes, although it seems that the negotiations are not going well now, everyone including Benjamin knows that humans will eventually reconcile with Orc, and it is only a matter of time before the various races reunite.
As we all know, under normal circumstances, the relationship between countries is actually related to interests, and personal emotions will hardly affect it.
The same is true even in another world, but compared to normal interest relationships, Eloria Plane has another additional factor that affects the relationship between countries: gods.
Strictly speaking, the will of the gods can also be included in the national interest, and it has a very high priority.
With the will of the gods pressing on it, it is inevitable for these countries to reunite.
The most important thing is that both the Eloria Plane indigenous gods and wizards actually hope to promote Coalition.
After all, the best way to weaken Plane Origin is to massacre the creatures born in this plane. Only the indigenous united origins of Eloria Plane can continue to fight wars, so that the wizards can achieve their goals more efficiently.
Even the brief retreat of the wizards' previous offensive was just to give the Eloria Plane natives some relief and not let them get too nervous and give up on themselves.
It's just that I didn't expect that the nobles of this world were so short-sighted. After only a short period of slowing down the offensive, they started to make small moves behind them, which eventually led to the collapse of the Eloria Plane Aboriginal Alliance.
Therefore, Benjamin cannot understand the thoughts of the three leaders of the mission. Regardless of whether they are apostles of the gods or spies disguised as wizards, they should try their best to promote this Coalition.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what those guys want to do, as long as it doesn't affect my own actions."
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these problems, Benjamin began to take his real actions today.
On the surface, he was taking a leisurely stroll, but in fact, his senses were fully opened, feeling every inch of Royal Capital's pulse.
As a Foundation Establishment monk, he can clearly perceive the Mortal Aura that permeates this huge city.
The Mortal Aura here was larger and more complicated than the Golden Port period, almost to the point where he was a little overwhelmed.
The joy of the people, the greed of traders, the loyalty of guards, the arrogance of nobles, the despair of beggars... all kinds of emotions, like trickles, merged into the Talisman Seal in his Dantian, making it shine even brighter.
He could feel that his absorption speed of Mortal Aura had been improved unprecedentedly in this city.
"Is this the power of the hinterland of civilization?" Benjamin thought to himself.
The Mortal Aura here is too abundant, even so abundant that it makes him feel overwhelmed.
Benjamin Suddenly his brows jumped.
Randomly turn into a secluded alley. There are few pedestrians here and only a few ordinary houses.
At the end of the alley, next to an ancient stone well, a few dead trees wrapped with vines looked particularly eerie.
Benjamin walked to the edge of the well and looked down at the well wall seemingly casually. In fact, his mental power spread instantly and went deep underground.
He noticed something unusual.
Beneath the well wall, hidden under the mottled moss and soil, several subtle energy fluctuations spread out like ripples.
Those are not Eloria Plane common sacred runes or mortal demons Magic Array. Their structures are unique and contain some kind of Power System that transcends this world.
"This is... the trace of the rune Magic Array?" Benjamin was shocked, but his face remained calm.
These runes were arranged to be extremely hidden, and if it weren't for his superb Runology knowledge and keen perception, it would be impossible to detect them.
He observed it again calmly, doubts filling his mind.
"It can basically be confirmed that this should be the rune system of Wizard Civilization, and it is definitely not something of Eloria Plane."
The energy of these runes is weak and should be just an inconspicuous node of the large Magic Array.
Without alerting anyone, he quietly left the alley and continued his "wandering".
However, with the previous discovery, he began to deliberately extend his perception to every corner of Royal Capital, paying special attention to those seemingly inconspicuous places with weak energy changes.
While he was thinking, there was a commotion in the street ahead.
"He is Lord Sage's apprentice!"
"Master Reis! Master Reis is here!"
Benjamin looked up and saw a group of residents surrounding a man with a thin face wearing a scholar's robe.
The other party was greeting the surrounding residents with a smile, with a humble and elegant smile on his face.
"Sir Reis, I heard that you were at the palace yesterday to advise His Majesty. Thank you for your hard work!" A middle-aged woman handed him a basket of fresh fruits with a grateful smile.
Reis took it gently and said softly, "This is my duty as a citizen of the kingdom. You don't have to be polite."
In the crowd, a ragged child fell down accidentally and scratched his knee, and was crying loudly.
Reis Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and squatted down.
He stretched out his hand, and a faint soft light came from his fingertips and gently fell on the child's wound.
The child's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the pain disappeared, and the child's tears turned into laughter.
"Okay, little one, be careful next time." Reis gently stroked the child's head, and his sincere care made the people around him praise him even more.
"Master Reis is so kind!"
"With Master Sage and Master Reis here, our kingdom will definitely win!"
"Yes, he can give His Majesty the best advice every time. With Master Reis, we have hope!"
Benjamin stood not far away, taking in all this and silently evaluating it in his heart:
"Tsk tsk... This method of winning people's hearts is too old, and the performances of those around me are too stiff, unqualified, and totally unqualified!"
"But...Sage?"
The so-called Sage is a relatively special existence named Eloria Plane.
The other party is not only powerful, but also extremely intelligent and charming.
It is no exaggeration to say that when the wizards invaded, the first Eloria Plane Coalition was caused by Sage alone.
The origin of Sage is quite clear, and people have even turned his life into an opera.
All I can say is that he is indeed a very capable Native, not a wizard spy.
But there is something strange about this Sage guy.
He recalled the information he heard about Reis at the banquet: this Sage disciple could always make "visionary" suggestions at critical moments, guiding the king and ministers to make decisions. Some even said that he could predict the future and point the direction for the kingdom.
But other than that, there is almost no other relevant information. I only know that not long ago, Sage suddenly announced that he had an apprentice, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, Benjamin was even more confused.
It's not that he was a crude means of winning people's hearts. It was normal for high-level figures. What really surprised Benjamin was that he sensed a slight sense of threat from the other party.
"What the hell, this world secretly updated its version when I didn't know it? Why can any strength threaten me? Shouldn't I be a genius?"
Seeing that the other party did not notice him, Benjamin slowly withdrew from the crowd and walked towards the other direction of the market.
Soon, he found similar traces of runes again under an abandoned warehouse in another ancient market.
Then there is a remote temple backyard, next to a Forgetting drainage channel... These runes are scattered scattered throughout Royal Capital, and they seem to have some kind of connection with each other, pointing to a vague center.
Benjamin's brain was working rapidly, and he began to draw a rough outline of these scattered rune points in his mind.
Magic Array composed of these runes is large in scale and interrelated, and its purpose seems to be for some kind of large-scale energy transmission or conversion.
Night fell again, and Benjamin returned to his mansion.
He walked into the secret room shrouded in illusion and looked at the Royal Capital underground rune network sketch that had been roughly drawn on the table, with a deep light shining in his eyes.
Relying on his own knowledge, Benjamin quickly judged that their arrangement seemed to be guiding or gathering some kind of energy, and the direction was vaguely pointing to the area where Royal Capital believed most - the church area.
