Benjamin was in the dumps.
The Queen’s voice, in a threatening tone, was unexpectedly heard from the wood piece, making him lose his nerves. More importantly, he was unsure what the situation was like at the academy.
The transmission wood piece in the hands of the Queen, what did this mean?
If she had only captured one or two mages and obtained the wood pieces from them, it would be an acceptable outcome. However, tens of minutes had passed, yet there was not even a shred of news coming from the academy. The issue seemed to have taken a darker turn.
Considering there were so many transmission wood pieces, even if one was somehow snatched away, those guarding the academy would still have been able to communicate the latest news, wouldn’t they?
On that basis, Benjamin ultimately delivered back a somewhat similar message.
"I advise you not to make any move. I have taken over the palace, including the mage guild. I hope you understand the consequences of crossing me."
