Chapter 228: Leaving Regina
After listening to this story, Benjamin felt a little infiltrated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If what the president said was true, and the queen used this strange way to capture the entire Mage Guild in her hands, then Regina at this moment was really a dangerous place for them.
If the queen knew that Benjamin was here, she would have to forcibly "solicit" them.
It's just that......
"Are you telling me this in the hope that I can help you?" asked Benjamin, suddenly.
Hearing this, the old man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You can't help us." Her Majesty sits on a powerful army and is protected by more than thirty elite mercenaries around the clock. She never met with the mage alone, and she never showed any flaws. Aside from the three mages in front of you, I don't even know which mages in the guild are the ones who will report to the queen at any time, and which ones are the neutrals who are alone. ”
...... So hard to deal with?
Benjamin couldn't help but feel a pang of horror either.
Clearly, from tricking the mage's trust to using potions to control the mage, the queen was clearly prepared. By the time the mages realized that something was wrong, they had already missed the opportunity to resist, and they couldn't even find a trusted companion by their side, let alone unite to rebel against the Queen.
In other words, what the queen uses to control mages is not a potion, but a system that makes mages suspicious and restrained each other.
"However, you should know that the last person to use your method of cultivation was the fourth generation of the Pope. At the same time, the old man continued, "I don't know what you will become in the future, but I don't want you to be in this quagmire as well. You must get out of Regina by tomorrow and get out of Ikor as soon as possible and go somewhere else. ”
Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Should I trust you?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "You can only trust us, there is no other choice." If I really want to do something to you, I can do it now, and I still need to talk to you about it?"
Hearing this, Benjamin could only nod his head, unable to refute.
If the old man really has any other intentions, he can't resist, is he?
Moreover, their original plan was to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Whether the story told to him by the president is true or not, it is enough to be able to get Augustine back and get out of the city without a hitch.
"Okay, tonight, I'll take everyone to the agreed place. Therefore, he said, "Thank you very much for your help, and we will definitely leave Ikor as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, the old man finally nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm not trying to help you, I'm just trying to give magic a little hope. ”
As if hearing a little guilt from this sentence, Benjamin was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Maybe...... One day, we will be back. ”
Any mage has the right to live freely.
The old man didn't seem to take it seriously, smiled, and waved his hand casually. Then, with the three mages disguised as soldiers, he quietly left the inn room.
Benjamin looked at their departing backs and pondered for a moment. He re-digested what had happened today, and after confirming that his choice should be fine, he gathered all the other mages and told them the news.
In order to save time, he didn't elaborate on the whole story of the Mage Guild being controlled by the queen, but just told everyone that the time to leave had come, so everyone should quickly pack up their things and prepare to go.
As for the mages, they were all very happy to hear the news. After all, hiding in a hotel all day long, even meditating for a while, this kind of life is definitely not a good time.
Benjamin went to the Mercenary Association while packing up his things, and left a message for the boss of the "Silver Fox", so as not to let him work in vain. As for the curse left in the massage parlor, Benjamin didn't bother to care, just keep it for now, maybe when it will happen in the future, maybe it can play an unexpected role.
In this way, all the aftermath work was done, and the time came to night. Benjamin and his party quietly left the inn, avoiding the patrolling soldiers on the streets, and came to the west gate of Regina.
Sure enough, at a hidden corner of the street, the group spotted four carriages.
Through the water elemental sensing method, they confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the carriage and that there would be no ambush or anything, so they walked over.
"You're finally here. On the carriage, Hawke stepped down and whispered, "Alright, let's get in the carriage." We have guild-issued documents here, and no one is going to stop us. ”
The mages exchanged glances, nodded, and sat into the carriage.
In the carriage, they also saw Augustine, who had not been seen for a long time. This unlucky middle-aged uncle was knocked unconscious and thrown in Hank Town, and when he saw Benjamin and his party at this moment, he was also as excited as a family reunion.
Benjamin recounted to him what had happened these days. Unexpectedly, he showed a regretful expression and complained: "It's a pity that such an exciting thing happened, and you didn't call me." ”
“......”
These people are really hopeless.
Soon, the carriage started, turned around the corner, and came to the gate of the city. Hawke stepped forward with an envelope-like object and spoke with the soldiers guarding the door for a moment. Without much delay, the soldiers opened the door and let them leave Regina.
Seeing this scene, Benjamin's heart was also a lot more settled.
Out of the city, the four carriages first made their way at a gallop, then changed directions, gradually deviating from the main road, bypassing the Regina, and beginning to move eastward.
"On this route, the checkpoints are the fewest to be checked. Hawke explained, "I can only send you out of the guard circle on the east side of the capital, out of this area, and the rest of the way is up to you." ”
Benjamin smiled and nodded, "I know what to do." ”
It was about a little more than ten days to travel from Regina to the border with Ikor . If nothing else, they only need to find an opportunity to fly directly across the border, and the queen will be out of reach.
On the road, they will also be more careful to ensure that there is no more accident of encountering robbers on the road and then suddenly disappearing their own people.
In this way, as they marched through the night, they met the guards that the queen used to check on the undercover agents, but with the Mage's Guild papers in hand, the guards did not stop them, but respectfully let them go.
Soon, half an hour later, they were far away from Regina, almost out of the specially guarded circle.
"It's almost time, I can give you a short ride. Hawke said as he took something out of his bag and handed it to Benjamin, "These are the maps of Fredon and Carretus, and I don't know where you're going, so I'll give them to you." And this, this is a book that records the local customs, you can also read it when you have time, and learn more about those two countries. ”
Seeing this, Benjamin was pleasantly surprised to accept what the other party handed over.
"Thank you. He said with great gratitude.
"It's just a gesture, and it's not a valuable thing. Hawke shook his head and replied nonchalantly.
However, just as Benjamin put the map and book in his bag, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"Who? Get out of the car, and we're on the Queen's orders to check on the people out of town. ”
Hearing this, Hawke showed a somewhat strange expression. However, he still took the guild documents that had been invincible before, got out of the car, and prepared to deal with this may be the final level.
However......
"Hawke, why are you here?Who are the people in the car, and are there any new missions to perform??, I haven't heard of it?" Among the guards who checked it, the one at the head seemed to be a mage as well. He recognized Hawke and asked in a subtle puzzled tone.
