Chapter 707: Crazy Pursuit

It took about a week or so for Benjamin to reach the mountains on the border of the Kingdom of Hori.

The Church will do whatever it takes to recover the "key". Priests, Paladins, Soldiers...... It's like stabbing a hornet's nest, they sent out an unknown number of people, and the matter was quite big. The church even issued a proclamation saying that someone had stolen their holy relics and vowed to get them back.

Under this pursuit, Benjamin and Dick had to be extremely cautious in their actions.

"I always had the feeling that they might have some way to track our general direction. "It is certainly not an accident that those priests have been gathering around us, and they can't shake them off. ”

"I don't know. "But that leaf has been specially processed, and it wouldn't be strange if they had any means to track it." ”

When Benjamin heard this, he felt that it was not unreasonable.

From a certain point of view, that ginkgo biloba leaf can be regarded as a kind of magic item refined by the church, and it contains faint magic fluctuations inside. They will most likely have the means to track the keys, but they may not be able to pinpoint them.

Therefore, Benjamin used a forbidden blister to wrap the key.

Unexpectedly, the blisters seemed to really cut off that weak connection. The priests flying around in the sky were suddenly much more sparse, and occasionally someone flew by, looking very dazed, looking left and right, obviously unable to determine the direction of the key.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have the opportunity to speed up to the vicinity of the mountains on the border of the kingdom.

"Are you going to climb over the mountain?" I heard...... There are a lot of terrible monsters in the mountains. Looking at the towering peaks on the border, Dick shuddered and asked.

"What's there to worry about, I've been rummaging through it several times. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and was about to fly up with Dick. However, after a glance of the Water Elemental Induction Method, he suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Mountain ...... Wrong.

The mountain range, which was originally inhabited by many demonic beasts, is now as quiet as a desert. It wasn't quite the same as the previous times Benjamin had flipped through here.

"Did you detect anything?" asked Benjamin in his mind before he had time to explain the situation to Dick.

"There are some fresh footprints on the ground, which should have been stepped on in the past few days. "But other than that, I found no trace of the priest." ”

Benjamin touched his chin, thought about it, and fell back to the ground.

The importance of keys to the church is self-evident. Now in Benjamin's hands, those people will surely go crazy to get it back.

Once upon a time, the mountains along the border were long, and it was very inconvenient to set up a defensive line, so Benjamin could come and go as he pleased. But...... If the church is really determined to chase the key back, who knows what they can do?

After thinking for a moment, Benjamin flew along the border for a long time, and he was about to fly from the south to the northernmost point of the Horry Kingdom. However, the mountain was still so clean that it looked like it had just been sacked, and there was not a trace of the demonic beast in sight.

Is it so scary?

Benjamin was a little surprised.

He didn't doubt the great strength of the church, but within a few days, the entire mountain range was completely emptied of demonic beasts, which was already a scene comparable to divine punishment.

Who knows how many monsters there are on the mountain? five million, ten million? How the hell did the church do it?

Incredible......

Originally, he thought that leaving with Dick should be a fairly easy thing, but he didn't expect things to develop to this point. Fortunately, he kept an eye on it, otherwise he would fly directly up the mountain, who knows what battle they will face?

"Here, what's going on? Is there anything on the mountain? We...... Can we still get out?" Dick asked hesitantly, also startled by Benjamin's solemn appearance.

"There's an ambush on the mountain, and we're afraid we'll have to go somewhere. ”

Benjamin didn't know exactly what the church was ambushing, but with such a large amount of money, he felt that as long as he first appeared on the mountain, he might face the bombardment of dozens of Holy Light cannons.

- If the church had been well prepared, even the "coming of water" might not have been able to get Benjamin to benefit from it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to avoid the edge for the time being.

"That'...... Do you want to pass the Crusade Gate?" Dick asked uneasily.

"The whole mountain range is like this, where do you think the defense on the other side of the gate will be lax?" said Benjamin, shaking his head, "at the moment, I suspect that Grant himself is sitting at the gate, waiting for us to force our way through there." ”

"So what to do?"

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Let's try the Scaifer Mountains first." ”

Dick was also stunned.

To the north of the kingdom, the mountain range, known as the "end of the canopy," is notoriously high. It stretches from the Monster Mountains to the west of the kingdom to the endless desert to the east of Freedon. It's like someone has drawn a 38th line on this continent, and no one has ever managed to cross that place, and no one knows what is on the other side of the mountain.

But...... Compared to the unknown ambush from the church, Benjamin felt that a simple mountain was better to deal with.

At least, there weren't many cases of people dying trying to climb the mountain.

"But...... I heard that that place is connected to the divine realm, and it is impossible to climb over it with the power of mortals, and all that can be seen is the endless mountain peak. ”

Benjamin shook his head, too lazy to speak.

In his opinion, no matter which religious title the divine realm is, it actually refers to the elemental plane.

If you can climb over that mountain and enter the elemental plane, then it's powerful. Benjamin doesn't believe in this superstitious statement, no matter how high the mountain is, it will fly out as soon as it flies, and it is impossible for the mountain to extend into outer space, right?

Therefore, he took Dick with him, changed direction, and flew to the north of the kingdom.

The Church apparently didn't expect Benjamin to make such a decision, and as he approached the Scaiver Mountains, there were noticeably fewer priests and paladins nearby. There were a few villages and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, but for Benjamin, these were no obstacles.

"You should be honored to be able to join me in setting a new record in this world. ”

Turning his head and saying this to Dick, who was full of uneasiness, Benjamin waved his hand, and a large cloud of water vapor suddenly emerged, supporting them, and soaring into the sky.
