Maybe it was because it has been a long time since Benjamin disguised himself as a beggar, when the mages turned their heads, they could not recognize Benjamin.
"I’m sorry, we are also very poor, we have no money to give you."
Hearing this, Benjamin impatiently shook his head. He wiped the dirt off his face and looked at the five people again, and said with a soft voice: "It’s me, Benjamin, do you really not recognize me?"
Immediately, the five of them recognized Benjamin, a few of them were so surprised they quickly covered their mouths, almost yelling out loud.
Benjamin could only quickly gesture for them to be quiet, to not be so excited.
"Tea… Teacher Benjamin." Joanna said in a low voice, "why are you here also? Did those guards bring you in? They say they are capturing mages under the command of the queen, what is going on?"
Instead Benjamin replied: "I’m here to look for you, where are the others? Where did they go?"
