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

The great wizard's words interrupted Bennett from his thoughts.

Bennett turned and left the room. The moment he closed the door, it suddenly rubbed against the ground, making a long sound.

It's friction.

Meteorites fall from the sky, come into contact with the air, and generate friction, heat, and flames.

Bennett understood and said with a smile:

"I originally thought that the Archmage was best at gravity, but I didn't expect that he could even simulate the movement between molecules. This must be an advanced application of friction."

The Archmage smiled and said:

“Natural Scourges are never born from one rune. Only by digging deep into the power of runes can we gain stronger power.

Don't think about those crooked ways. The power of a mage is ultimately the analysis of the world."

It turns out the root cause is here.

Bennett smiled bitterly. The great wizard was probably afraid that he would carry out some kind of technological reform and waste his accumulated magic power.

"Master, rest assured. I will still focus on exploring and accumulating runes. After all, I have the experience of countless predecessors."

Bennett has now inherited the accumulation of the Royal Capital Mage Tower, as well as Mervyn's research on flesh and blood magic and storm runes.

This energy alone is enough to push Bennett to an unprecedented height.

It is obviously unrealistic to explore any new path for mages now.

After hearing this, the great wizard nodded and said:

"You just understand."

Then the Archmage sighed again and said:

"I'm not saying that I don't want you to innovate. The emergence of new ways to become a mage is definitely a good thing for humanity, but if you want to give up your current success right away, you're going too far."

Bennett saluted the Archmage and said a proverb from his past life:

“Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we see farther.”

"That makes sense. This sentence is very interesting."

The great wizard smiled and placed his hands in front of him. A rune array reappeared on his palms, which were the runes used for reconnaissance just now.

"The shoulders of giants. Interesting, but also a compliment. It doesn't work for me."

Then the conversation changed:

"Don't say it's useless. Let's hurry up and investigate. If we can finish investigating the castle tonight, it's already fast enough."

After saying that, the Archmage turned around and began to scan the wall.

She recovered very quickly, her eyes were full of seriousness, and Bennett also showed the rune formation. He was no longer a scout, he was an apprentice now.

The two men searched the castle inch by inch. During this time, the great wizard taught Bennett without any reservation.

How to deal with complex rune arrays, how to cut off the connection between runes, how to judge which runes are useful and which runes are just a trick...

Bennett learned quickly under the guidance of the great wizard himself.

"Do you still have your storage scroll?" the archmage suddenly asked.

Bennett took out the scroll from his arms and said:

"This is an empty one, big enough to hold a castle."

The Archmage nodded and looked at the mechanical rune in front of him:

"Dig it up, I still want to see what this thing is."

Bennett nodded, dug out the brick and refilled the gap.

The archmage put the rune into the scroll and continued to investigate with Bennett.

It was not until the morning that the two finally finished checking the entire castle.

"I'll check the whole thing again. You should also remember this formation. Although it's not as detailed as the rune just now, it can still come in handy in special times."

The Archmage tapped the ground with his heels, and runes began to swirl around the Archmage.

Bennett wrote down each rune and deduced the functions of these runes in his mind.

This time, the wizard did not make things difficult for Bennett. Instead, he made the runes appear one by one to make it easier for Bennett to remember them.

Finally, the runes in the air combined in the air to form a ball-like formation.

The archmage injected magic power into the rune array, and the rune array suddenly burst out with light. The light was able to pass through the walls, and even if the archmage stood still, it could instantly illuminate the entire castle.

The maids were in a panic. Such a strange sight was obviously beyond their understanding. They pushed and shoved, chattered, and rushed out of the castle in a panic, shouting that the castle was haunted.

The God-given Knights obviously knew about the Scourge Mage. Although those who stayed in the castle were all knights who had lost their faith, they still touched their swords and began to search the castle.

Bennett was watching the changes in the runes and had no time to care about these people.

Fortunately, when the archmage's spell ended, the knights still hadn't seen the two people.

"You all go back, I'm investigating the castle."

Bennett blasted the sound directly to the entire castle.

The knights heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Bennett's voice, and then returned to their rooms.

Sera had almost raised the knife, but Aimee held Sera down before Bennett could speak, so Sera didn't make any noise.

The archmage put away his spell, glanced at Bennett, his mouth twitching slightly. What do you mean by "check the castle"?

"I've checked it out. Try this spell and feel it for yourself."

Bennett nodded and immediately started to use the rune array. He didn't need anyone to teach him, and of course he didn't need to slow down deliberately.

In just a moment, the light filled the entire castle again.

This time it didn't cause much of a stir.

Seeing that the light was harmless, the maids also entered the castle one after another.

Driven by curiosity, they began to pretend to check the corridors and rooms, hoping to show up in front of the Master Mage.

The knights put away their weapons and continued to do what they were supposed to do.

They were all very relaxed, with no sense of tension as if a battle was imminent. I wonder if it was because they had no fear of death, or because Aimee didn't tell them when the battle would begin.

Bennett put away the rune array, which was very interesting.

As the light is emitted, the runes illuminated by the light will appear in the mage's mind in the form of rectangular coordinates.

Bennett calculated the coordinates of these runes, most of which were left by the archmage. These were some of the methods left by the archmage in the castle.

It can also be considered as a preparation for tomorrow's battle.

The remaining individual runes are the runes that have not been checked.

"There are also some spells that have been hidden with runes. Such spells cannot be checked, but we have done enough now, so there is no need to continue checking.

Even if the remaining runes are hidden deep enough, their number is too small to form a system.

Now the most important thing is the runes outside."

Bennett nodded. The great wizard was right. After all, the rune formation was won by the number of runes.

Bennett went back to Aimee's room, left some food in the room, and then went outside the castle with the archmage.

It’s the same rune array from before.

This bright light caused great panic among the city's residents, but neither of them cared.

After probably ruling out the surrounding runes, it was already night.
