I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

The tool Helen is somewhat resentful.

But the only one who listens to Bennett the most is Helen.

After handing the necklace to Helen, Bennett finally came to Aimee's side, gently held Aimee's hand and said:

"I left the necklaces to you and Sera. Remember to contact me if you have any questions."

Aimee said nothing, but nodded.

Bennett glanced at Helen, and Helen looked away from Bennett proudly.

Isn't the key still up to me?

Beth had been waiting impatiently and urged:

"That's enough. We've been bored for a few days. Isn't that enough?"

Aimee also pushed Bennett away and said:

"Remember not to let anyone look down on Iris. Bring your clothes and show your family crest."

"understood."

Bennett took the clothes handed to him by Sera, and Sera kissed Bennett on the forehead.

Beth's face twitched. Being tall is a big deal.

Carrying the clothes, Bennett took a last look at the people in the room, still feeling worried.

"Let's make some final preparations."

With a thought, Bennett's mental power instantly locked onto all the servants and knights in the castle.

Almost at the same time, all these people stood still.

Pinning these people's souls in place, Bennett cut open their memories, stripped away their emotions, and finally crushed their wills.

"Protect Aimee."

This was the last voice Bennett left in their minds.

Mervyn's soul research, this spell can forcibly modify a person's will and implant thoughts in their minds.

But the price is quite huge. The sanity of these people will only last for ten days at most. After ten days, they will collectively collapse, both flesh and blood and spirit.

Beth had obviously noticed something, and she looked at Bennett in surprise:

"you……"

Bennett did not explain, but unfolded the rune array on the ground and smiled at the people in the room.

The blue rune flashed, and Bennett and Beth disappeared from the room.

When Aimee saw Bennett leave, she looked at Helen and said:

"Bring the things here."

Helen didn't move, clearly not following Aimee's orders.

Aimee looked at Sera again and said:

"Sera, go get it."

Sera leaned against the window and didn't move.

Aimee shook her head, leaned her head back on the recliner, and sighed.

"Sure enough, when he comes, no one listens to me."

She looked at the iris emblem on the wall and recalled the snowstorm that night.

The dead mother, father, brother, and sister who was forced to leave the territory.

On one side is the honor and responsibility of the nobility, and on the other side is the resistance and concern of the people around her. Aimee is extremely conflicted and can only sigh in the end:

"Bennett, don't let all this go to waste."

……

In a flash, Bennett and Beth had arrived at the Mage Tower.

The archmage still stood under the painting of the giant dragon, taking care of her sand mandala.

"You're back? How's it going?"

The great wizard did not use mental power to conduct his communication, but spoke directly.

Bennett nodded. He didn't hear it, but he could now distinguish the syllables of the sound through the vibration of atoms.

The changes brought about by the Scourge Rune are not only changes in the world, but also Bennett's memory, analytical ability, and thinking speed.

In Bennett's eyes, the world has become nothing but data, but he can now understand this data.

"how do you feel?"

The Archmage spoke directly again, and this time, she used a man's voice.

Of course Bennett couldn't tell that it was a man's voice, but he could understand what the wizard meant.

"It feels amazing. Everything has become a transmission of data, especially language. The emotions in language in the past have now become a kind of data fluctuation within a range."

The archmage nodded. This was a normal feeling. This was how every Scourge Mage felt about the world.

She waved her hand gently, and a piece of parchment flew up from the ground and came in front of Bennett.

"This is the king's invitation. This afternoon, the giant wolf, the church, and the king will be attending. Remember to go. I won't go. Please let me know."

Bennett took the invitation letter in front of him and said:

"Ok."

"We still have a while, do you want to eat something?"

Bennett glanced at Beth, who shrugged her shoulders to indicate that she didn't care.

"Alright."

The great wizard took out the kitchen utensils with great interest and said happily:

"Denise is not here today, so I can try out my new dish."

Bennett's face froze. He didn't care. If Beth didn't share his five senses, he wouldn't be able to taste the food at all.

But Beth...

"Ahem, Archmage, I remember I have something else to do. Why don't Beth and I leave first?"

The Archmage was about to put away the kitchen utensils with a look of disappointment, but Beth said:

"What could it be? We'll tell you later."

Bennett looked at Beth with a puzzled look and asked, "Have I annoyed you these days?"

Beth's face showed no expression.

You bastard, you've been playing crazy with Sera these days and asked me to take care of Aimee. Do you know how difficult your wife is to serve?

If she wasn't pregnant, I would have given her...

I am filled with resentment, and I, the saint, will perish together with you in this natural disaster.

Thinking of this, Beth started sensory sharing on the spot.

Bennett knew that Beth was trying to make fun of him, and he had to get back at her somehow.

So Bennett's mental power reached out to Beth.

Beth thought Bennett would say something nice, so she didn't refuse.

"Your suggestion on which one to make bigger is very useful."

Beth: “…”

Beth's face twisted together for a moment, but quickly unfolded, revealing a murderous smile, and glanced at Bennett.

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

"Master, I have a big appetite. Please cook a few more dishes so I can taste them."

Wow, this is the first time I see such an active experimenter.

The great wizard became interested on the spot and decided to do a few more experiments today so that he could teach Denise later.

"Okay, today we'll have a smaller portion and more variety."

……

Two hours later, Beth and Bennett walked out of the Mage Tower with dejected faces.

The Archmage, like Bennett, couldn't taste anything.

But she liked cooking for Denise, so she often asked people to be her experimenters.

Since Bennett came, the experimenter has been Bennett alone.

Originally, Bennett thought that since he had lost his sense of taste, he would no longer have to worry about this person.

I didn't expect that Beth would stab me in the back.

"Are you happy now?"

Bennett said weakly that the great wizard's dishes, if good, were top-notch enjoyment, but if bad, they were soul-destroying purgatory.

Beth smiled grimly and said:

"You are not feeling well today, so I am feeling good today."

She looked at Bennett, wanting to see him make a fool of himself, but suddenly she felt someone hugging her shoulders.

"Why, a few nobles messed up our Saint?"

Beth looked at Bennett blankly. After a long while, Beth said angrily:

"You are the one being disturbed? Go away."

Generally speaking, Beth is not actually afraid of the nobles.

But today I thought of Aimee, that scary giant wolf... No, it's Iris.

Beth couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in her heart.

Bennett had long noticed that Beth was not in good condition. Combined with Aimee's training of Beth in the past few days, he knew the reason immediately.

“Aimee is special. Lord Stark, Aimee’s father, is an extremely powerful figure. Not all nobles have such a powerful father and teacher.

Not everyone has Aimee’s talent.”

Think about it carefully, how old was Bennett when he met Aimee? She acted pitiful, performed, used psychological tactics, loved to study, and worked hard enough...

She is a natural aristocrat.
