Chapter 603: The thief shouts to catch the thief
It was a few dusty young men, and the tone of the request was very sincere. The students communicated with the lead teacher and there was no objection, so they let them into the team.
"We only go to Rand City, and it is impossible to escort you all the way. You know, right?" said Leila, who was leading the team, as she glanced at them.
The traveler took the lead with a sturdy man with short hair, and when he heard this, he naturally showed a grateful expression, and nodded busily with his companions.
"Yes, yes, we won't interfere with you. ”
In this way, with a few small tails, the team of interns continued on the road. On the way, the students probably stayed in the academy for a long time, often talking to travelers, and occasionally showing off their magic, apparently with some vanity.
Benjamin didn't get involved, but watched it all in silence.
He can understand this mentality, he finally learned magic, and he always has the urge to be a hero, but he ...... The identities of those travelers seemed a little suspicious.
"These people are paladins, right?" he said slowly in his heart, "Although the water elemental sensing method didn't scan anything, it ...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”
The system said, "Why? I didn't find any definite clues. ”
"I don't know, intuitively. Benjamin sighed inwardly and said, "Although they have perfect accents and clothes, ...... I felt like they were Havenlite people, and they always gave me a subtle sense of familiarity. ”
Hearing this, the system was silent for a moment, as if analyzing Benjamin's doubts in its logical way. After about half a minute, it spoke again and gave a negative answer.
"It can't be a paladin's, I've just scanned it, and they're not physically qualified. ”
“...... All right. ”
Benjamin didn't want to ask any more. He also has no clear evidence, just pure feelings. Maybe he was too suspicious and had that thought in his heart, so he looked like a church member.
What's more, even if these people are really paladins, so what?
He followed the internship team to prevent these accidents. "Water Fall" had cooled down, and he had absolute confidence in himself - he didn't need to make a move before the situation became particularly critical, he could just observe it secretly, and he could also observe how resilient these students were.
In this way, having made up his mind, Benjamin also settled down, what should he do, and silently paid attention to the every move of these travelers by the way.
"This big brother, are you with the mage masters?"
However, instead of going to them, Benjamin came to talk to him. The strong man at the head walked over and asked with a hospitable look.
Benjamin shook his head.
"You're looking too highly of me, too. "I just went to Carretus to talk about business and came back, and I got separated from my companions." Master Mage is kind and willing to take me on a ride, otherwise I may have to give my life here. ”
"I see, I don't know what the origin of these mages is? Mages like the ones I've seen before don't want to pay attention to people like us. ”
"Oh, yes......"
Benjamin tried hard to keep the conversation to death, and it was difficult for the other party to continue. So in the end, the strong man could only snort in embarrassment, and then returned to their partner.
Benjamin thought it was even stranger.
Did this guy find out who he was?
After years of practice, his camouflage skills have long been full, and even if he is very close, ordinary people can't find anything abnormal. He was now with the team, not to mention the students, and even Leila, who had been with him for so long, didn't recognize him. That's pretty certain.
Is it because you are too careful, or is there some strange way for the church to do it?
After a long day of driving with doubts, they encountered some magical beasts again. The students skillfully defused the danger, and the travelers from the side applauded them incessantly.
It's just that Benjamin feels that the eyes of these people are very similar to secretly observing the students.
The student's every move when facing the enemy, the proficiency of the magic, and the power of the magic...... This kind of attentive observation is not like some passerby who knows nothing about magic, but an agent with ulterior motives.
That's right, agent, he actually came up with the word.
The men were unarmed and did not seem to be dangerous, but Benjamin felt as if they were collecting information from the students, possibly passing it on to a certain force.
Eyeliner from the Kingdom of Hori......
The Church seems to have learned wisely, and instead of sending insiders such as Priests and Paladins, they will use such specialized intelligence agents, probably to obtain more information about the Academy.
Realizing this, Benjamin wanted to take a direct shot and take these voyeuristic guys as a solution. But...... He still has to hold back, information is such a thing, no matter what, it may be leaked. If he makes a move, this internship will not have any training effect.
He hoped that the students would quickly find out that something was wrong with them, but unfortunately, they had a good chat.
"That's amazing! Do you still have any magic?"
"Of course, I know a total of three primary magic, this is a beaded fireball, I am not familiar with it, this is ......"
The "travelers" had been photographing the students' horses, revealing a look of great worship of magic. And the students had no resistance to this kind of appearance, and they didn't need to ask more, they told him any news.
Benjamin was speechless.
The vigilance is too bad, and the few who have lost are men, if they are women, do they all have to run away with others?
Luckily, Leila, who led the team, seemed to notice something was wrong.
With a whispering incantation, several shadows flew out and tied them up directly - Lyra struck out as if nothing had happened, and before anyone could react, she used magic to restrain them.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose?"
Even the students on the side were taken aback.
"Teacher, this is ......"
"Shhhh ”
The students froze in place, staring at each other.
"Master, Master, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Bound together by the black shadows, those people showed panicked expressions and hurriedly shouted, "We just want to go to Lante City on the way......"
"Nonsense. Leila smiled sarcastically and said, "If you're really from Freden, what's the matter with the sword and shield badge you wear under your clothes?"
The man was stunned, and immediately said, "You must have misunderstood, we don't have anything under our clothes, how can we wear the royal family's badge?"
Leila shrugged her shoulders and said, "But I don't seem to have said that the sword and shield badge is the coat of arms representing the royal family of the Horry Kingdom, right? You are not from Freden at all, this kind of thing is only known to the people of the Horry Kingdom." ”
"No...... We...... We were there once so saw their badge......"
The people were still trying to argue, but the students' expressions were different.
"Is it really a spy of the church......
They looked at the bound men with a look of disbelief in their eyes. The feeling of being deceived by others obviously made them very uncomfortable.
"No, believe us, we're really not spies!" the strong man at the head roared again, suddenly looked at Benjamin, and said, "You should ask him." Look at his disguise, he is a man from the Kingdom of Hori! He is a spy sent from elsewhere!"
The students were stunned again.
Seeing this, Benjamin held his forehead and was speechless.
