Chapter 706: The Secret Door and the Key

In the night sky of the Kingdom of Horry, Benjamin and Dick are crossing a large area of territory in front of them at a rapid speed, heading straight for the towering mountains along the border

Halfway through the flight, Benjamin suddenly turned his head and glanced at the air behind him.

“...... Annoying flies. ”

He beckoned, and Dick suddenly began to descend rapidly. Below was a dense jungle, and they hid in the bushes and quickly hid their figures. A few minutes later, a group of priests flew through the sky. They stayed above the jungle, looked around for a moment, and flew away towards the east.

Benjamin secretly observed all this, with a solemn expression.

"This is the first group of priests we've met in three hours?" he turned his head to look at Dick with a frightened expression on his face, "What other secrets do you have, and why do they keep chasing them so closely?"

The process of escaping the kingdom with Dick was much more bumpy than he had imagined.

Less than half an hour after the first flight, they encountered the pursuers of the church. At that time, Benjamin intended to quickly eliminate the group, but before he could do so, the pursuers began to flee, using various methods to delay time...... And they didn't delay for a few minutes, and wave after wave of shadows of the pursuers emerged from the sky.

At that moment, Benjamin realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of killing all these people, and instead took Dick, changed direction, found a gap and quickly shook off the pursuers, and moved more carefully.

He knew very well that as a result of this constant delay, in the end, these people would definitely be dragged until Grant arrived.

Benjamin knew that there would inevitably be a battle between them, but it was by no means in this situation - the priest pounced on him like mosquitoes in groups, trying his best to drain Benjamin's mental power, how could Benjamin deal with Grant wholeheartedly?

He could only avoid the eyes and ears of these people in a low-key manner and quietly hide out.

It's just that he also began to feel doubtful.

The church must want the lives of everyone in the Fur family, but do they need to go to such great lengths? Dick is just a dumb kid and has no power to cause any trouble to the church like Aix. There was no need for the people of the church to go after him with such great effort.

Of course, it's possible that these people are coming for Benjamin. So many priests and cleansers fell in an instant, and the church must have guessed who came. But...... Benjamin still felt that there was something else hidden.

This whole set of Tuogu and Ax tried their best to get Dick out...... Benjamin felt that there might be some other reasons for not just preserving the bloodline.

Hence the question he now had about Dick.

"W-What's the secret? I don't know. Dick was stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense to me here. Benjamin didn't have a smile on his face, "If you dare to lie to me, I'll throw you out and see what the priests outside will do to you." ”

"Don't......"

Dick was sweating profusely on his forehead, not knowing if he was frightened by the priests or by Benjamin.

"Do you say or don't you say?" Benjamin's eyes became colder, "In order to hunt you down, the church has dispatched thousands of priests. Don't think you can fool me. ”

Dick lowered his head when he heard this, his hands trembling. Under the pressure of killing intent, in the end, he gave an answer that Benjamin did not expect.

"Yes...... Key. ”

"What key?"

"In St. Peter's Basilica, the key to a secret door. Dick took a deep breath and said, "Before everything was exposed, my father secretly stole it out of the church. He didn't tell anyone about it, and neither did his allies who planned to plot against the Pope together. If it hadn't happened so suddenly, I might not have known it. ”

Benjamin was still puzzled.

"Secret door, what secret door?"

Dick shook his head, "I don't know...... Father he just told me that in that door was the greatest secret of the Church, the source of all power, the staircase to the divine realm. ”

Benjamin couldn't figure out what the secret door meant, and why Ax had gone to the trouble of stealing the key from the church.

However, this does not prevent who the key belongs to now.

"Give me the key. He said coldly.

"No...... I can't give it to you. ”

"If you don't give it to me, I'll throw you out of here, let the priests whest your tendons and skin you, and then trap your soul in the flames for all eternity. ”

Dick's face was full of despair.

"That'...... All right. ”

Eventually, he reached into his pocket and found a strange piece of broken porcelain.

Benjamin frowned.

The porcelain shards looked ordinary, dusty, like someone had broken a plate and picked up from the shards all over the floor, not to mention any resemblance to the "key".

He took the broken porcelain piece and sensed it, but unexpectedly found a strange leaf inside the porcelain piece.

Therefore, he directly broke the porcelain pieces. Then, a bright green fan-shaped blade emerged from it. Benjamin pinched its petiole and raised it to his eyes, realizing that it was a ginkgo biloba.

In other words, it's a leaf of a tree of space.

"Wait......" The system suddenly spoke up at this moment, and said with great interest, "This thing should be almost a thousand years old, and it still maintains the activity and vitality of the cells, this thing is very interesting." ”

Benjamin was taken aback.

A thousand years?

To be honest, the key to the secret door was ginkgo biloba, which was quite surprising to him. However, even after the specimen processing, the leaf on his own body has long since withered, and this leaf has been as good as new for a thousand years.

It dawned on Benjamin that this might not be a simple ginkgo leaf.

If you look closely, there seems to be something red flowing in the tender green veins, as if the back of the leaf is crawling with blood vessels, and its blood is slowly flowing.

And, in this...... There are faint mana fluctuations.

"Do you understand this?" asked Benjamin lovingly, after observing it for a moment.

"I don't know. The system said, "Its prototype should be ordinary ginkgo leaves, but after some special processing, it ...... It seems to have an incredible power. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In this world, ginkgo biloba is endowed with a kind of space-traveling power, which he has also experienced firsthand. However, if you need to use the power of ginkgo biloba, or the ginkgo biloba that has been specially treated, what is the situation with the so-called secret door?

Could it be that behind the door is another time and space?

Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to think of something.

He remembered that in the elemental plane, the system used an omniscient perspective to spy on the secrets of the church, but said that there was a room that it could not snoop into anyway. At the time, Benjamin speculated that the room might have something to do with the elemental plane.

And now...... Could it be the so-called secret door?

Benjamin couldn't believe that St. Peter's Basilica might have built a door that led directly to the elemental plane. Every time he entered the pure blue world before, he had entered it in a spiritual form, and his physical body walked directly into it...... This is dimensionally repulsive, right?

Moreover, connecting the elemental plane with the real world is an unimaginable thing.

"Are you satisfied......, Lord Dean? Are you going to throw me to those priests?"

Benjamin was still thinking, but Dick hesitated and called him back to reality. He came back to his senses, glanced at Dick, who was shivering, and sensed something outside.

In the sky, this group of priests has already left.

Never mind...... He can't figure out these things now, so let's think about it slowly later.

"Your life has been saved. So Benjamin put away the fresh, old leaf, came out of the bushes, and said, "Let's go, we must flee to safety as soon as possible." ”

Dick was stunned, nodded vigorously, and hurriedly followed.
