Chapter 245 Old People
A few months after signing up, Benjamin received a system notification from "Intersection Point" on his personal terminal.
A brief stream of information informed him that a new plane war was about to begin, and all registered wizards must go to the assembly point within the specified time to prepare to participate in the plane war.
After learning from the lesson of the last plane war, where he had to stay outside for decades longer because of encountering a living plane, Benjamin made many preparations in advance this time.
Before setting off, he spent a lot of time arranging his "Golden Garden", underground laboratory, and the incubation pool in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane in an orderly manner.
Not only did he upgrade all the defensive arrays and store enough energy to last for hundreds of years, he also issued a series of automated instructions to the lava giants that had been hatched before and the black giants that had not fully grown when they were hatched.
In this way, Benjamin ensured that even if he was away for hundreds or even thousands of years, his rear base would be fine without him as the backbone.
After everything was arranged, Benjamin stepped into the teleportation array with confidence.
With the experience from last time, Benjamin went directly to the huge square outside the junction affairs center this time.
There weren't many people gathered in the huge square at this time. Looking around, there were only about a few thousand people scattered around, making it seem a bit empty.
The space teleportation arrays around were as dense as spider webs, and various colored lights were constantly flashing.
Wizards of various shapes and sizes walked out one after another and gathered towards the square.
Benjamin found a relatively sparsely populated corner, leaned against a cold metal pillar, and began to rest with his eyes closed, trying to adjust his mental state.
While sinking into his mind, he once again counted and sorted out the various combat reserves in the space within his body.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but just as Benjamin was categorizing the rows of magic potions, magical instruments, and backup energy pools, he suddenly felt as if a pair of curious and inquiring gazes were constantly being cast at him.
The other party probably had no ill intentions and had no intention of hiding anything. Even with his eyes closed, Benjamin could still feel the other party's gaze very clearly.
Jieming's heart moved, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the gaze.
Not far away, a wizard dressed in alchemical weapons and looking extremely young was looking towards him curiously.
When he saw the other person, Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
Because he felt that the other person seemed somewhat familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed not very familiar.
In fact, it wasn't just this wizard who was staring at him.
Even the other wizards in the other team of seven or eight wizards gave Benjamin a sense of familiarity to some extent.
Noticing the scrutinizing look from Benjamin, the wizard looked even more closely.
After seeing Benjamin's appearance clearly, the wizard who had been staring at him suddenly brightened up his eyes!
Benjamin saw him talking to several of his companions, and then he and the other companions excitedly walked through the crowd and ran straight towards Benjamin.
"Boy! Long time no see!"
Seeing the other party greeting him with a familiar look, Benjamin became a little wary out of his wizard instinct.
However, the wizard didn't care about Benjamin's alert state, and he still had a hearty smile on his face.
Seeing that Benjamin didn't seem to remember him, he couldn't help but remind him, "Why? It's only been a few hundred years. Have you forgotten your senior from school so quickly?"
After being reminded by him, it seemed as if a gate of dusty memories in Ben's mind was instantly opened!
It was then that he realized that he had overlapped the wizard in front of him, whose face seemed to have become much younger, with a figure in his memory!
The face of the man in front of him looked very much like that of the Alchemy Department senior, Wizard Jack, whom he had met at the exhibition stand of the Logistics Department in the Admissions Square when he first entered the school.
At the same time, Benjamin also remembered.
The people around Wizard Jack were actually the graduated seniors from the Logistics Department who were there at the time!
But when they met again, the other person's face looked much younger than the slightly haggard look at that time.
He was not wearing the plain wizard robe he had worn back then, but a set of mechanical exoskeleton armor that was full of a cold sense of technology and flashing with energy.
More importantly, their level is not the same as what Benjamin saw at the beginning.
He could clearly feel that the aura of these people had generally reached the level of a second-level wizard.
"Senior Jack?" Benjamin asked tentatively.
"Hey! Fortunately, you haven't really forgotten me, otherwise we seniors would be so disappointed." Jack grinned.
After receiving a positive answer, Benjamin quickly bowed and greeted Jack and other seniors.
After recognizing the old friend, he couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face.
The two of them were actually not very familiar with each other. Strictly speaking, they had only met once when Benjamin had just entered the wizarding world.
But no matter what, this person was one of the few "acquaintances" that Benjamin had met once in this cold and cruel wizarding world.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, seniors..."
While talking to them, Benjamin calmly looked at the number of people in the team of "seniors" he had reunited with.
He clearly remembered that there were at least a dozen people in this team in the square.
But now, there are much fewer people than when he first started school, and there are even many new faces.
It seems that there have been some losses in the plane wars in recent years.
However, those who survived are much stronger than they were back then!
Even Benjamin was surprised to find that the senior potion master who was only a third-level wizard apprentice and looked the most inconspicuous.
Now, he has become the highest-level person in this team - a genuine third-level wizard!
After seeing that Benjamin really reacted, Jack smiled with relief along with the other wizards in the team.
After all, for wizards who never know when they will meet again, even if they have only met someone once, it is a happy thing worth celebrating if they can meet again in the future.
Jack looked at Benjamin carefully again and couldn't help but sigh:
"I can't believe it! When we first met, you were just an ordinary person who knew nothing about wizards. I never thought that in just a few hundred years, your level would have caught up!"
"My vision is right, you are a genius!" Senior Fu Wenxue said proudly.
"Tsk! You say that to everyone you meet. You have absolutely no taste!"
"You don't accept it?!"
The two people in Jack's team started arguing as usual while chatting, and no one else stepped forward to stop them. There were even many people happily fanning the flames.
The commotion here attracted the attention of many wizards. After all, in wizard civilization, there are not many wizards as active as these.
Benjamin looked at the team with some envy, and then had a brief conversation with Jack. The two shared some of their experiences over the years.
Although the two parties were not very familiar with each other, they had some social relationships.
It is always a pleasure to meet old friends when you are about to go to the battlefield.
As they were about to disperse, they exchanged their contact information with each other.
They also agreed that if any difficult problems arose during this plane war, both sides could seek support from each other.
Jieming knew that this was considered as senior Jack taking care of him. After all, considering the number of people, he was not able to support them alone.
After saying goodbye to Senior Jack and the others, Benjamin waited for a while.
Not long after, Benjamin was surprised to find that the number of wizards in the square had reached an astonishing level.
He made a rough estimate and felt that the number should be over 100,000!
This is a much larger number of wizards than the last time he participated in the Flame Frost Plane War!
At this moment, a huge shadow covered the entire square, blocking out the light from the sky.
All the wizards looked up at the same time.
In between, the artificially simulated sky at the intersection was completely covered by a huge and boundless dark land!
Benjamin knew in his heart that this should be the "ship" plane they would take on this expedition.
Judging from the size and the color of the land, this was not the "ship" he had taken last time to conquer the Flame Frost Plane.
However, Benjamin is no longer the newcomer who knew nothing.
He also learned a lot of information about the "intersection point" by consulting materials.
For example, within the "junction", there is more than one ship plane that serves as a "ferry".
The so-called "ship planes" are essentially those that have completely lost their value for sustainable development due to excessive exploitation of the plane's origin and various core resources.
Finally, it was recycled by wizards and transformed into an abandoned plane into a mobile war fortress through various technologies.
These planes are already on the verge of being scrapped, and using them as tools for navigating the endless chaotic void can be said to be quite cost-effective.
As far as Jemin knows, the three major forces that established the intersection, including the Nolen Workshop, have arranged at least hundreds of such ship planes at the intersection as strategic reserves.
According to the calculation that one or two expeditions are made to the intersection point every year, and that conquering a small or medium-sized plane on average will take between twenty and one hundred years.
With so many "ships", there is no need to worry about a shortage of "transportation".
