Chapter 461: Targeted Investigation

Benjamin rushed to Glori. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The location where the five people lost contact was north of Amber City, not far from Glori, and on the way there, you could take the Water Elemental Perception Method to investigate all the way. What's more, in Glori, he has access to the king to find out what is going on in the church.

-- Did the church catch its own mages? What happened to them? The king, though he didn't necessarily know about these things, could always hear some news.

If there is a trap, he can at least be prepared.

Time was pressing, and Benjamin was in a hurry. He didn't know what was going on, maybe if he was a minute late, those five would be engulfed in the scorching light and turned into ashes. Therefore, he could only use his fastest speed and try his best to rush forward.

Eventually, just before the sun went down, Benjamin arrived at Glory.

"What's your name, where did you come from, who are you, why did you go into the city? Wait, I'll check if yours are disguised...... Alright, don't complain, this is the latest command above. ”

As soon as he approached the city gate, he heard such a passage from afar.

Suddenly, Benjamin's heart sank.

What happened?

He hid in the shadow of the trees at dusk and secretly observed the soldiers guarding the city gates, only to find that the entire inspection of entering and leaving the city gates was almost ten times stricter than before!

Now, every time a person enters, the soldiers have to ask them about their family background, and most importantly, they have to pull the person's nose to confirm whether the other person's appearance is real or fake.

Benjamin was stunned.

There is no doubt that this move was directed at him. The bishop must have studied his actions and realized that Benjamin might be very proficient in disguise, which is why he came up with the details of this cross-examination.

But...... Why did the church seal off the city gates?

After thinking about it, Benjamin came to the main road and asked a passer-by to ask about the situation. And in the process, he learned that since this morning, all the cities of Caritus have already started such an inventory.

As for the reason, the bulletin said that there was a gang of criminal, extremely vicious bandits who were roaming the territory of Carretus at the moment. In order to ensure the safety of the residents, the royal family decided to temporarily implement this system of checks until calm was restored in the country.

Benjamin shook his head in his heart when he heard this.

Mobster......

If you use such a word, you don't need to think about it to know that it must be Benjamin and his gang.

Judging from what he heard, the church brought out the group of paladins and priests who had been defeated by him and said that they were a group of ordinary soldiers, but they were attacked by bandits and almost all of them were wiped out. Therefore, they had a reason to arrest Benjamin and his party throughout the country.

However, although it was used as a reason, Benjamin did not regret killing that team. Reason, as long as the church wants to find this kind of thing, it will still have it after all.

The more important thing at the moment is what happened to those five people.

Along the way, Benjamin didn't find any clues. When he passed through Amber City, there was no trace of the five men outside the city, as if the world had evaporated.

Therefore, Benjamin is even more convinced that something must have happened to these five people!

What to do?

He needed to go into the city and get in touch with the king, but the gate was ...... He's afraid he won't be able to get in.

Just when Benjamin was at a loss......

"When you were working as a tutor for the rich merchants, I basically copied their ledgers and recorded their routes. The system suddenly spoke up at this moment, and said slowly, "If nothing else, Mr. Hal will pass through here with his caravan, enter Glory, and stay for half a day." ”

Benjamin was stunned.

Caravan......

"Yes, you're kind of useful!" Soon, Benjamin came back to his senses, smiled excitedly, and praised the system in his heart.

“...... Oh. "The system seems to be a little unhappy, so he replied.

Benjamin didn't care, though. After confirming the caravan's route, he left the gates of Grory and waited on the main road west of the capital. More than ten minutes passed, and he finally waited for the life-saving caravan.

"Mr. Hal, please stay. ”

Benjamin, wrapped in his robe, stopped the carriage in which the wealthy merchant Hal was riding.

"Who are you and why are you ......," Hal said with a pair of eyes peeking out of the window, a little confused. However, in the middle of his sentence, Benjamin showed a smile from his robe, and Howl's words stopped.

"Long time no see, I don't know how your child's homework is. Benjamin said with a smile.

“...... It's you. Hal's face was a little solemn, and he looked around for a moment to make sure no one else noticed the scene before he continued, "You're a dangerous person now, and you're in a place like this, aren't you?"

Benjamin's portrait and name were affixed to the wanted warrant for "bandit leader". Hal knew that Benjamin was not a bandit, but he must have become very cautious accordingly.

However, there is such a layer of friendship, and Hal will not shake his head and ignore people.

"Without further ado, I have a favor for your Excellency. Benjamin lowered his voice and said.

Hal frowned, "What? You want to go into the city? I can't help it. Now the inspection in every city is very strict, even if you are mixed in with the goods, you will be detected. ”

Benjamin shook his head, pulled out a letter, and handed it to the other party.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm not going into the city. As long as you bring this letter into Glory and give it to the waiter at Delores' restaurant, it will be all over and you will not be implicated. ”

"This ......," Hal hesitated, not taking the letter.

Seeing this, Benjamin approached the other party and whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Hal, seeing that wanted notice, you should also understand that the church has taken control of the royal family. Someday, they will come to the front of the stage and start hunting down the mages in the world. And by that time, what will happen to your child, I think you should understand. ”

If you want to have the power of magic, you have to take responsibility for it. Benjamin tutored them for no profit, just for today's hand!

Hal narrowed his eyes and stared at Benjamin, probably thinking that he was being threatened, and his gaze was a little unkind.

"Don't look at me like that, Mr. Hal, we're all in the same boat. Benjamin smiled.

“...... I understand. After a moment of silence, Hal took the letter and put it away, "I'll do you a favor, but you'll have to teach my son all the elementary spells." ”

"No problem. Benjamin smiled as he took out a copy of the "Elementary Spell Encyclopedia" from his bosom and handed it directly to the other party.

Hal was stunned.

He didn't seem to expect Benjamin to give back now, and to give it so happily.

Benjamin continued, "Don't take this as something great, it's just elementary magic, the power that a mage can have is much more powerful than you think. ”

Hearing this, Hal took a deep breath, and as a result, he stopped talking and nodded.

Benjamin turned and left, watching Howl's caravan continue on its way, soon entering Glory. As night wore on, he stood in a wooded area outside the city, patiently waiting for the man who had delivered him the news, as time went on.

Finally, after waiting for about an hour, a familiar figure finally appeared in the water elemental's senses.
