After a few days, Benjamin brought the mages to the mountains in the northwest of Carretas.
In these few days, the ebb and flow in the nation had changed. To find Benjamin, the Church had even, by using the king’s authority, announced an arrest warrant, turning Benjamin and all the mages under him who had shown themselves into fugitives. Of course, their excuse was very simple— having secret communications with the Kingdom of Helius, intentionally subverting the government. It was a blatant copy of the arrest warrant issued in Icor.
Right then, their portraits and names were practically hung in every town in Carretas. An arrest warrant of such importance had never been seen before by the people.
However, the arrest warrant did not relate Benjamin to ‘The Free Mage’. It was possible that doing this would reveal their intentions too much, and the Church also did not want to help Benjamin advertise for free.
