Chapter 552: The Hidden Spy

That night, the royal palace of the city of Sherdy.

"Your Highness Princess, Your Highness Princess, don't run, I'll help you get the cat back." If the general sees you running around the palace, he'll be angry again!"

Two figures, one in front and one behind, hurried through the silent corridor. The servant in the back shouted with a hurried expression on his face, trying to keep his voice down.

When the night guard heard this, he only yawned and shook his head helplessly, whispering something like "here again".

In fact, such a scene has been around for a long time. At first, they would go over to help stop the princess and send her back to her room. Gradually, however, they found that as long as they kept the door and did not let the princess run out of the palace, the princess would eventually be taken back by the servants, so they did not bother to move again.

It's not their job, so why meddle?

The guard yawned and continued to patrol.

And the two chasing figures, one in front of the other, also faded away, and the sound of hurried footsteps disappeared into the empty corridor.

Half a minute later.

"Shh......h Get a good night's sleep. ”

In the remote treasury of the palace, the servants chased the princess all the way here. Suddenly, a mysterious man wrapped in black came out of the corner and patted the servant on the shoulder from behind. I don't know what happened, but the servant suddenly shook his body, and fell limply to the ground, unconscious.

And the princess stopped running, stopping beside the man in black.

The man in black touched the princess's head.

"Well, the next time you come, don't let him make such a loud noise. In case it alarmed the rest of the palace, someone would be upset. ”

The princess looked at the man in black, her eyes glazed over, and nodded.

The man in black looked around, probably thinking that there was no one else around, so he said to the princess, "All right, now give me something." ”

The princess nodded blankly, took a ball of paper from her pocket, and handed it to the man in black.

However, the men in black eagerly took the paper ball, and just as they were about to unfold it, a voice came from another room behind them.

"The guards of the palace are really too lax......"

The man in black was stunned. Probably realizing that something was wrong, after a short pause, he grabbed the note, turned around and ran. However, he had barely taken two steps when he was suddenly blown up by a hot and humid wind, and he hung upside down in mid-air, unable to escape.

The figures of Benjamin and the general also walked out of the other room.

"Amazing, worthy of Master Benjamin, it only took one night to catch the spy of the church. The general looked at the man in black hanging upside down in mid-air and nodded.

"It's just a matter of luck. Benjamin said nonchalantly, "It's because he can't bear it, and he has to contact tonight." If he doesn't act, I won't necessarily be able to catch this guy's tail. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, the man in black was just struggling in mid-air in a panic. It's just that the invisible water vapor surrounds him, so that he has nowhere to draw on his strength, and it is even more impossible to break free from it.

"Let go of me! I ...... You're not going to end well. Probably knowing that there was no hope of breaking free, the man in black suddenly stopped struggling and shouted at the two of them.

Benjamin shook his head and let out a sneer.

"Don't waste your efforts. He stared at the man in black and spoke slowly, "Did you deliberately shout so loudly to remind your accomplices in the palace and let them hide quickly? ”

When the man in black heard this, he was stunned.

The general walked over and pulled his mask off with all his might.

"Is that you?"

Looking at the true face of the man in black, the general frowned, seeming to be a little disappointed. Benjamin looked twice, and saw that the man seemed to be one of the palace guards, whom he had met when he had entered the palace during the day.

In order to quell the rebellion, General Stewart has been expanding his army since he came to power, recruiting many new soldiers, which can be regarded as the easiest way for the church to infiltrate the palace.

He controlled the vapor and shook the mole and shook the note off the note in his hand. The general walked over, picked up the note, and unfolded it, the contents of which happened to be the treaty that Benjamin had just signed with them today.

- The church controls the princess, and writes down some of the contents of the treaty on a note, intending to use this undercover guard to pass it on.

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

There is actually nothing particularly secret in the treaty, except for some details related to the magic academy that are not very well known, and these details are recorded on the note. Now the church has suddenly started collecting these things, and I'm afraid it's going to make trouble.

A strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

"What does the church do when it collects information about the Academy of Magic?"

The mole let out a cold snort, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

The general punched the man in black in the stomach and asked viciously: "Stinky boy, how many accomplices do you still have in the palace, explain them all, otherwise I will make your life worse than death!"

The traitor was beaten and curled up, trembling slightly in mid-air, but still did not speak. Seeing this, the general threw a few more punches, and the mole was beaten to the point that his face was covered with blood, and a few teeth flew out.

However, after a moment of silence, he only let out a burst of laughter, and then said in a low voice, "Go to hell." ”

The general clenched his blood-stained fist again.

"General Stewart, you can't do this, let me come. Benjamin finally couldn't drive anymore, and took a few steps forward, "Give me half an hour, and I'll promise him to say everything." ”

The general was stunned, but nodded anyway.

So, Benjamin took the traitor into the empty room next to him, closed the door, and the general waited at the door. As time passed, no sound came out of the room, and General Stewart couldn't help but look puzzled.

He walked over and wanted to knock on the door to ask about the situation, but he held back when he thought of what the prime minister had said.

This young mage ...... The potential in him is terrifying. The general also understands that the general trend of the world in the future may be held by this person, and if he can use this opportunity to release his previous suspicions, it will only be good for them, and there will be no harm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept his voice down like before.

Thinking of his grandson, the general took a deep breath, nodded, stood by the door, and waited patiently.

After about forty minutes......

"I'm sorry, this guy has a hard mouth, and I used a little more time. The door suddenly opened, and Benjamin came out of it and handed a piece of paper to the general, "However, the list of traitors in the entire palace has been asked for you." ”

The general took the piece of paper and looked into the room in amazement.

I saw that the traitor fell to the ground, his body intact, but his face was ...... Pale as if he had just crawled out of a grave, the general felt a chill in his heart.

What kind of means is this?

He didn't dare to think about it, shook his head, and still looked at the letter that Benjamin handed him. Six names were written on the letterhead, and if you looked closely, they all seemed to be palace guards, five of whom had only been recruited recently, and one of whom had existed before.

Putting the list away, General Stewart nodded at Benjamin as well.

"Thank you for your help, I think the main trouble has been solved. ”
