Chapter 425: An Unexpected Reunion
While following the soldiers, Benjamin turned on the water elemental perception method the entire time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If this is a reasonable trap to hunt a mage, then next, he will definitely face some beings who can restrain magic. Although Benjamin thought he was in perfect disguise, the soldiers did not see his identity, but ...... Who knows?
Perhaps, the soldiers were given an order that no matter who entered the branch, they would arrest or deceive them, just get them to a specific place, and then come up with some special means to deal with the mage, and kill them silently.
Benjamin certainly didn't think he'd be killed, but ...... It's always a good idea to be careful.
However, what he was thinking about was not actually seeing the city lord.
There is still some distance from here to the castle lord's residence, and there are always some remote streets in between. When there is no one around, he can kill the soldiers, get out of them, and then leave Amber City with his mages as soon as possible.
Therefore, Benjamin's willingness to follow the soldiers was actually only a stopgap measure.
He might be able to get a lot of useful information from wandering around Carretus like a headless fly. But the risk of doing so is too high, and when he arrives at the place, he sees several bishops smiling around him, and he can only type GG in laughter.
"Hey, what are you doing? ”
As they passed through one of the deserted streets, Benjamin suddenly stopped. The captain of the soldiers couldn't help but turn his head and asked with a frown.
Benjamin leaned over with a blank face.
"My shoelaces are loose. ”
“......”
The soldiers looked speechless and speechless. The captain shook his head, presumably motioning for Benjamin to hurry up and move on.
However, just when Benjamin took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and was about to use magic to take these soldiers away in waves, suddenly, the system hurriedly spoke up and stopped his move.
"Hey, don't worry, someone's coming. ”
Benjamin was stunned, and his movements were sluggish.
What's wrong with it?
Soon, the picture was fed back by the water element, and his heart was speechless for a while.
In the distance, another group of knights came running. They are at the corner of the street at the moment, and if Benjamin makes a move now, he will inevitably be discovered by the team of knights, and at this distance, he can't solve it with the team of knights. Therefore, he had no way to make a move.
Damn it...... You're so unlucky?
Benjamin felt like a bad guy.
Finally found an opportunity, why did you say that this group of knights came so coincidentally?
There is no way, the opportunity is gone. After a while, the group of knights turned the corner and saw the group of soldiers holding Benjamin in their arms. And Benjamin could only honestly squat on the ground to tie his shoelaces and wait and see what happened.
"Are you here? Hurry, the city lord has an order, there is something outside the city, you will follow us out of the city immediately!"
The captain of the soldier was stunned.
"But...... We haven't taken the trespassers to the lord yet. ”
The knight at the head waved his hand impatiently and urged: "You guys don't care, now the order from above is urgent, and I don't have time to pay attention to these petty thieves." Follow me!"
So saying, the knights turned around, and seemed to be in a real hurry, and were about to leave.
The soldiers looked at each other. However, the status of this group of knights is much higher than theirs, and their tone sounds very tough. Therefore, they did not dare to procrastinate, and they took steps one after another, and ran after the knight.
- The knight was already on horseback, and he was very fast. If they don't keep up, they will definitely be thrown off.
So, in the blink of an eye, this remote street was empty.
Benjamin was a little confused.
The soldier threw him right here.
Just now, he was still squatting on the ground to "tie his shoes", thinking about how to kill all the knights and soldiers together. As a result, the knight's words directly urged the soldiers to run away with them, and Benjamin didn't even have a chance to make a move.
This...... What's going on?
Benjamin felt ridiculous.
Before, the soldiers were adamant about taking him away, so well, he followed. Halfway through, the soldiers left him here again, and ran away with a whoosh. What's going on, is it playing tricks?
He stood up, thinking about whether he should sneak over to see what was going on outside the city, when suddenly a voice came from behind him, startling Benjamin.
"You don't have to be curious, there's nothing going on outside the city. I'm just trying to lure these people away. ”
Groove ......
Stunned, Benjamin turned around.
I saw that a young mercenary in leather armor and somewhat familiar eyes was standing not far from this remote street at this moment, holding his arms with his hands and looking at him with an expression that he had not woken up.
“...... Miles. After a moment of silence, Benjamin took a deep breath and said slowly, "Can you tell me what the is going on?"
Miles shrugged his shoulders and replied, "That's a long story. Time is pressing, I'm going to take you to meet someone now, and I'll explain it to you slowly on the way. ”
So saying, he turned around, and like the knights, he was about to go out.
"Hey...... Wait!" shouted Benjamin, "what is this? Who are you going to take me to? Why is time running out? And how did you find me?"
He's not going to run away like those soldiers, when he's been urged.
A series of events happened a little too quickly.
With all kinds of doubts, Benjamin even felt that everything in front of him had a sense of illusion. Because of this, he began to wonder if he was dreaming, or if the Miles in front of him was pretended to be someone else.
Therefore, before the other party could answer, Benjamin suddenly made a move, and an ice arrow was thrown straight over.
Syllable!
The moment before the ice arrow touched the opponent, it suddenly shattered on its own, as if it was disturbed by some force field, turned into a water element, and fled away from the opponent.
“......”
Miles had a deflated look on his face.
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
It's me.
"Don't mind, I'm just verifying if you're someone else pretending. So, he spread his hands and said with a blank face.
"Whatever. Miles was speechless, "Now that you've verified it, we'd better hurry up." ”
"It's not...... Are you going to take the guy I met far away? I still have a lot of followers here, and it's impossible to just leave. Benjamin, however, was still confused and did not leave.
"At your speed, it's not going to be too far. Miles urged, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon after I'm done, and I'll make sure there are no accidents along the way." As for the question you ran into the Mage Freemasonic branch to verify, it will also be answered after meeting that person. ”
Damn it...... It's the same as not saying.
"You've got to at least tell me where that guy is, right?" said Benjamin.
Truth be told, Miles was really 100% trustworthy even though he had provided him with a little help? Taking a step back, even if the other party is really helping him, Benjamin doesn't like to be led by the nose.
-- What is the mystery of God, how can he win the trust of others if he does not say anything?
Miles, however, spoke, and replied, "At the palace." ”
