บท 649: Runic Technique

After sending the messengers from the two countries away, Benjamin forced the Queen to write a certificate of appointment, temporarily handing the authority to govern Icor over to the Guild Master. With the Queen’s warrant in hand, they could at least let the administrative system of Icor return to normal.

Guild Master had his hands full because of this, and Benjamin could not be bothered to read the tiny and cramped words on the documents. He had no understanding at all about Icor’s administrative details, and many local officials felt animosity towards him, even. He was clear about that.

—Since he had so many feuds going on, it was very hard for him to be lord over this country.

He could only wait for the Guild Master to take action.

After this series of events, Benjamin had more trust towards this old mage. He was like him in that he had no desire for power, and had more of a sense of responsibility towards the other mages, chasing after a better environment for magic.
