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

After seeing Helen off, the great wizard said:

"It's useless to leave. Don't sleep tonight. First eliminate the preparations of the nearby mages. I will take care of you for one night, and you can do it by yourself tomorrow."

Bennett was of course happy to receive hands-on instruction.

"Okay, let's check the castle first."

The great wizard had the same idea, so he nodded, waved his hand, and a rune array appeared in his palm.

"Come and take a look at this rune array."

Aimee and Sera also looked over there, and saw runes flying in the palms of their hands, spinning around the center.

The blue light flashed, and the rune flew very fast, far beyond the ability of the two to catch it.

Bennett had long noticed the flow of the archmage's magic power, and the moment the rune array appeared, Bennett was capturing the runes inside.

The Archmage wanted to play a trick on Bennett. After the rune array had been running for a week, he simply put it away and said:

"Come and try it."

Aimee and Sera were both shocked. The rune array only took a very short time to run for a week, and the archmage wanted to reduce Bennett's prestige, so he sped up the operation of the rune array.

Aimee understood what the great wizard meant. She must have thought that Bennett had done something in the capital that made the great wizard hold a grudge against him, so he deliberately tried to humiliate Bennett today.

Sera didn't care that much. She just thought of it as a test from the great wizard to Bennett. After all, he was not a real teacher and would not necessarily teach him wholeheartedly.

Bennett lowered his head and pondered for a while, then opened his hands and a rune array appeared.

At first, the rune array was running very slowly, but soon, the rune array was flying very fast in the palm of the hand. Although not as skillful as that of the great wizard, it was still quite handy.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

The Archmage snorted coldly and said:

"You're welcome. If it weren't for Denise, I wouldn't bother with you."

After saying that, he glanced at Aimee and Sera.

Aimee glanced at Bennett. She knew that Denise was the king's princess and also a disciple of the archmage. It seemed that the reason for the archmage's unhappiness had been found.

Sera didn't care much. She had met Denise in the royal capital, although Bennett wanted Denise to give up at that time.

But she felt that Denise might not be someone who would give up so easily.

"I've long heard that the great master's disciple is also a natural born mage, but I don't know when I can see him in person."

Aimee stood aside, half flattering and half asking for information.

The Archmage snorted coldly and said:

"Once you have established yourself in Razlan, she will come over on her own."

Aimee had a clue in her mind and looked at Bennett with resentment. Beth was definitely not going to escape, and now there was another princess, which was really good enough.

After thinking for a while, he asked the great wizard:

"Do you need me to prepare a mage tower for the archmage's apprentice?"

The great wizard glanced at Ai Mei, who was full of calculations. He felt very uncomfortable with the noble's temptation and said unhappily:

"Then let her and Bennett use one."

Ai Mei smiled and said:

"That's good. It saves the money for a wizard tower."

When the great wizard heard this, he immediately felt unhappy.

"What would a Scourge Mage be like without a Mage Tower?"

As soon as the words came out, the great wizard reacted and said, hasn't this made everything clear?

Damn it, I was provoked by the nobles.

After glaring at Ai Mei, the great wizard still did not get angry. He just sighed in his heart, thinking that his disciple would have to endure how much humiliation he would have to endure when facing such a person every day in the future.

"I'm here to save you this time too. You should be nicer to Denise."

Aimee had a good sense of proportion, she used flattery, testing, and showing her confidence, and finally she had to give the great wizard a guarantee.

"Master, rest assured. I will not neglect a natural disaster wizard."

Aimee also knew what to say, so she naturally wouldn't continue to tangle with the archmage.

She glanced at Bennett again.

So, in the end I still have to save face.

Bennett thanked him with his eyes, and the tense conversation ended here. It would not be good for anyone to anger the wizard.

"Master, let's check the castle first. The rune array just now was used to check the runes."

The archmage nodded. She was not surprised that Bennett could guess the usage of the rune array.

If one can remember the rune array after just one look, he must be familiar with the runes contained therein.

The Archmage looked at Bennett again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said:

"Yes, it seems that you really studied the notes I gave you."

Bennett bowed to the Archmage and said:

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

The Archmage said nothing more and left the room.

During the conversation just now, the room had already been scouted by the Archmage, and there was nothing in the room that required attention.

"You two should get some good sleep tonight. I'm here with you tonight."

Bennett said hello to Aimee and Sera, and then followed the archmage out of the room.

Aimee saw Bennett leave the room, fiddled with the pillow, and then lay down.

"Go to sleep. It's a quiet night tonight."

Sera glanced out the window and closed the curtains. When Bennett was not around, they basically didn't dare to sleep too deeply. There would be another battle the day after tomorrow, so they had to replenish their energy in the next two days.

He stood up and placed the knife beside the bed, then fell asleep next to Aimee.

……

Outside the room, the Archmage carved runes on the wall. Seeing Bennett coming out, he said:

"You come and hide these runes."

Bennett looked at the runes. Most of them were runes to prevent mental attacks. It should be a rune formation, but only a part of it was engraved here.

He stretched out his hand, and all the carved runes had disappeared into the wall.

The Archmage stretched out his hand, and the rune array appeared. The blue light of the runes illuminated the castle corridor and the Archmage's fair face:

"Activate this rune array, and the nearby runes will respond to each other, like this."

The archmage injected magic power into the rune array. The blue light shone onto the wall and runes emerged from the wall.

The Archmage looked at the emerging runes and both of them changed their expressions.

The runes that appeared on the wall were left by four people in total.

Bennett pointed to a rune and said:

"I made this. It's a defensive rune array."

The archmage took a look at Bennett's runes. The rune imprints were very beautiful and neat. They were not the work of a master, but they were also considered to be skilled.

But she was in no mood to praise Bennett right now.

The three great wizards knew the runes of the four people on the wall and could tell their meaning at a glance.

But the last one...

The Archmage looked at Bennett, his expression somewhat grim, and said:

"Is this the rune you carved?"

Bennett's expression was equally grim.

That rune was very different from normal runes. It didn't look like a rune, but more like a mechanical gear.

"I didn't carve it. I've never even seen such a rune."
