Chapter 85: Cutting off the Dust
In short, pouring the qualification transformation potion is not a difficult job. In many cases, puppets or artificial creatures are directly arranged to carry out the work.
However, one of Benjamin's advantages is that he listens to advice. After confirming that Instructor Clark had no ill intentions, he did not have much resistance and set off immediately after accepting the task.
He was driving the spreading equipment provided by the academy, a small streamlined airship with a built-in automatic spreading device and energy detection system.
He flew smoothly to the designated area according to the coordinates provided by his instructor.
As the airship slowly descended, he saw a small team on the ground coming to greet them, led by a regional lord dressed in gorgeous clothes.
When he saw the lord's face clearly, Benjamin was slightly stunned and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He knew this lord!
Because the two had met several times before, and it was the lord in front of him who sent him to Nolen College!
The area he was responsible for was actually his hometown in this world!
"...Hey! Although he looks a little expressionless, the instructor is actually a good person." After a moment of silence, Benjamin couldn't help but grin.
It was not until this moment that Benjamin truly understood the intention of Mentor Clark in assigning him this task.
A year later he would take part in the tests of hundreds of academies organized by the Noren Workshop.
Although the specific reasons and purposes are unclear, judging from the fact that the Noren Workshop suddenly proposed to conduct a test and required the high-level wizards and apprentices to return, those who passed the test may have other arrangements.
Although he has always been very humble, Benjamin would never underestimate himself. He is not sure whether he can get the first place in that test, but there is no problem in passing the test.
Judging from the strength of the Noren Workshop's actions, if it passes the test, it is highly likely that it will never return to Noren Plane No. 13, and it is even possible that it will not come back even during the rest period.
Even if he could come back later, it would probably be a long time later, and Benjamin's parents were just ordinary people, and they would probably have passed away by then.
Therefore, Mentor Clark assigned him such a task, in a seemingly official manner, giving him the opportunity to see his family for the last time before leaving this dimension.
Although this mentor is serious, he inadvertently reveals his humane care.
However, after knowing this fact, Benjamin found that his emotions were unexpectedly calm.
Without rushing home, Benjamin first handed over the mission permit to the local lord in a businesslike manner, and was then taken to the laboratory by the lord for an academic exchange.
It was not until four or five days after taking on the task that Benjamin said goodbye to the lord and followed the sowing progress to the area where his hometown was located.
He took advantage of the interval between spreading the potion and, under the pretext of needing to replenish energy, landed the airship on the edge of the town not far from his home, and then went to visit his parents.
The meeting with his family was even more dull than Benjamin had expected.
Pushing open the familiar wooden door, I saw that my parents still looked a little older, but they were still in good health.
When they saw Benjamin's return, a hint of surprise and joy appeared on their faces, but the joy was not too enthusiastic.
After all, the entire plane is under the deliberate control of wizards, and in order to "optimize the population", the residents work very hard to give birth to offspring.
Even for ordinary farmers, with sufficient food and an excellent medical system, it is common for a family to have five or six children.
Small business families like Benjamin's parents have more resources and can raise more children.
At least before Benjamin left, there were already seven or eight brothers and sisters in the family.
By the time he returned, the number had soared to more than a dozen.
So when Benjamin opened the door, what caught his eye were children of all ages playing in the yard.
For Benjamin, a child who left home a few years ago, in the eyes of his parents, he is just one of many children, a child who "left home to make a living".
They were relieved that he was able to "make it big", but there was not much sadness of parting or excitement of reunion, and there was even an indescribable sense of strangeness.
And Benjamin himself has long possessed the consciousness of an adult, and having experienced the baptism of the extraordinary world, he has long since detached himself from his attachment to ordinary family affection.
Deep down, he naturally felt grateful to the two parents who raised him, but he did not feel too sad about their separation.
Although I had anticipated whether I would feel sad before coming here, those feelings disappeared after meeting him.
Although it is regrettable, I am not too sad - it is like in a previous life, a friend who I have been playing with for a long time suddenly lost contact with me, and then I suddenly remembered him one day.
As for his parents, ever since he was taken away by the lord to enter the academy, Benjamin's family has suddenly received a lot of subsidies from "noble people" - this is the subsidy and invisible care for wizard apprentices.
Thanks to these subsidies, Benjamin's father has transformed from a small businessman to one of the leading businessmen in the town.
He came from a wealthy family, lived a comfortable life, and even had a few more "lovers".
So overall, the family members didn't have much to say about Benjamin's sudden return. Instead, several young lovers that his father had just found in the past two years showed worry in their eyes.
At the current stage of Noren 13, supernatural powers are kept strictly confidential to ordinary people.
They just thought that Benjamin was favored by the nobles and became the lord's retainer (or even a plaything), so they had a natural awe of these "nobles".
Seeing that Benjamin did not bring any followers or carriage with him this time, they were worried that Benjamin might have angered the lord and been expelled, or that he had escaped secretly.
No matter which one it is, their family will not have such a good life in the future.
So not long after he entered the room and sat down, Benjamin received a report from local officials on the communicator, which made him laugh and cry: a lover had reported Benjamin's whereabouts.
It was not until this moment that Benjamin truly realized that the two sides were no longer from the same world.
For this reason, Benjamin did not stay at home for long. He simply chatted with his parents and brothers and sisters about family matters and left them some gold coins.
Then he returned to the airship and continued to complete the remaining drug spreading tasks.
When the airship drew an arc in the sky and evenly sprinkled the diluted aptitude transformation potion on the ground, Benjamin's heart was calm and complicated.
He knew that this land would move towards a completely different future step by step under the transformation of wizard civilization.
In any case, Jermyn is also very grateful to his mentor Clark for giving him this opportunity.
He has been drifting away from this mundane home. His path lies deep in the starry sky, on the other side of the extraordinary.
