Hearing this, Benjamin's first reaction was, this woman is crazy, right?

What the hell? When he first went out in the morning, the whole Regina was still lively, and the streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere. Although I don't know what kind of festival this is www.biquge.info the Mage Guild is still in full swing, presiding over the operation of the city while the queen is away.

However, only a few hours later, the blonde told him that the Church had staged a coup d'état here and had taken control of the entire capital. How could he possibly accept that?

Therefore, he even began to feel that this was just a story that the other party deliberately made up to bluff him.

"Don't talk so much useless. Thinking so, Benjamin said indifferently, "You let Augustin go, I let go of your friend, everyone gets what they want, and it is necessary to continue like this, it will not benefit anyone." ”

The blonde shook her head and said, "Believe me, I'm not interested in fighting you." It's dangerous out there now, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and I've managed to escape back, and it's impossible to run out and bring that mage of yours with me. ”

Although there were still some doubts in his heart, hearing this, Benjamin also had to start thinking about the possibility that this news would come true.

He suddenly thought of the three priests he had met in the woods.

Originally, he had never guessed the purpose of the three priests disguised as merchants and secretly went to Regina. Now it seems that if what the blonde said was true......

Thinking of this, Benjamin also had to take a deep breath.

Most likely, this is a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time, and suddenly erupted on the occasion of the capture of the Crussard Gate.

"I'm going to verify what you said. Hence Benjamin's words.

After thinking about it for a moment, he turned around and came to Cinderny's side. In the same way as recorded in a magic book he had read a long time ago, he cut his finger and used his own blood as a medium to cast a simplest curse on Cinderne's body.

With a strange spell, Benjamin felt like a needle had been pricked in his brain, and there was a faint tingling pain. Then, the surrounding water elemental fluctuated in a strange way, wrapped in spiritual power, and merged with the blood squeezed out by Benjamin.

Suddenly, the blood droplets flashed slightly, and there was an eerie fluctuation. Then, it dripped onto Cinderney's forehead, melted through the skin of her forehead, and disappeared in an instant.

...... It worked?

At that moment, Benjamin suddenly felt as if there was a small bomb in Cinderney's brain. With just a thought, he could detonate the bomb and make this woman die a miserable death.

Is this what it's like to release a curse?

"You...... What are you doing?" Seeing this scene with her own eyes, the blonde seemed to want to stop it, but she didn't dare to penetrate the ice mist, so she only shouted in surprise and suspicion, "The curse has long been banned by the Mage Guild, and you actually ......"

"So what, I'm not from the Mage's Guild. Benjamin raised an eyebrow and replied with a nonchalant expression.

Although he had learned the curse method from the Silent Academy early on, he had never really practiced it. Now that he has used it for the first time, it still makes him feel good.

Of course, this process full of evil aura also made him feel more like a villain.

There is no way, in the current situation, Augustine is the other party's bargaining chip, and Cinderney is her own bargaining chip. And what if he couldn't keep people frozen in ice and freeze to death? So he had to use the curse, the thing that had tortured him worse than death, as a means of controlling Cinderney.

After the curse was cast, he lifted the ice on Cinderny, causing her to tremble and fall to the ground.

"Cinderie!" the blonde tried to go over and help the man up, but Benjamin was still there, and she could only stand there in a hurry.

"Don't worry, she's fine, it's just that she fainted from freezing for too long. Benjamin glanced at her coldly and said, "I'm going to see what's going on outside, and if you do something in the meantime, I think you understand what will happen to her." ”

The blonde looked resentful, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Benjamin also nodded, and began to walk out. However, he still did not touch the ice mist around him, in case his opponent was excited, he rushed over to fight him.

Soon, he was back at the door.

At the door at this moment, the door has probably been locked by the blonde woman coming in, and the sign of "Sister Massage" that was hung outside before has now been put back. After thinking about it, Benjamin stuck it on the door and began to sense the situation outside using the water element sensing method.

The street outside is quiet.

Benjamin frowned, but he also knew that the street was already relatively remote. If there is indeed a coup d'état in Regina, I am afraid there will be a little time before it will affect this.

Just as he was hesitating to go out and take a look, suddenly, a little far away from the street in his senses, there was a wave of magic fluctuations.

I saw that at the corner of the street in the distance, a middle-aged man appeared.

With a somewhat flustered expression, the middle-aged man chanted a spell and summoned a fireball, as if he wanted to attack someone. However, a group of knights in enchanted armor suddenly appeared, resisting the magic and surrounding the mage. Then, with their fists wrapped in iron armor, they stunned the mage and dragged him away like a cow to the slaughter.

In this way, they appeared and left, and in a short time, the turbulent streets returned to their previous calm.

Behind the thin wooden door, Benjamin sensed this scene and looked cold.

Perhaps he should have been shocked by this, but the first thing that came to his mind was not that the church had actually controlled Regina, but that he felt an extremely complicated emotion.

How so...... He thought that this kind of picture would only happen in the kingdom of Hori.

He also thought that leaving the kingdom was equivalent to leaving the hell of that mage. Although Ikorl is not very friendly to wild mages, after all, it is a land where magic can grow, unlike the kingdom of Hori.

However, it was only now that he realized that there was no difference between here and there. Under the clear sky, there will still be innocent mages who are pushed into the abyss by the cold armor. And he could only hide behind the door and watch silently.

This kind of thing...... It shouldn't happen here.

Actually, it shouldn't happen anywhere.

After a moment of silence and a sigh, Benjamin returned to the front desk. He looked at the blonde woman who helped Cinderie to her room to rest, and suddenly spoke, her voice surprisingly calm:

"Tell me, what the hell is going on out there?"

The blonde turned around, looked at Benjamin, and said, "At the ceremony, the president of the Mage Guild is taking the final step of praying to God. Suddenly, a large group of soldiers appeared, and in the name of the queen, arrested all the mages present, and forcibly took many of those present at the time. As long as they think it looks suspicious, they will arrest them. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin was puzzled: "In the name of the Queen?"

The blonde nodded and said, "The publicity is in the name of the queen, and they also got the queen's token, so those mages don't dare to resist." However, I had just sneaked out of the palace and saw several priests dressed in official attire talking about how to take complete control of Ikor before the queen returned. That's why I know that it was the church that led this coup, but the people of the Mage Guild were still kept in the dark. ”

"The Queen's token, a token that can make all the mages obediently restrained?" Benjamin still felt that something was wrong.

"I found out that they had kidnapped most of the mage's family and friends before they even attacked. "Besides, the situation at that time was that the entire army left behind by Regina was all controlled by the people of the church. It is estimated that the people of the Mage Guild still think that there is some misunderstanding here, so they will be obedient first, thinking that when Her Majesty clarifies the misunderstanding, they will be released, right?"

Hearing this, Benjamin also fell into deep thought.

This was definitely a premeditated coup d'état. Controlling armies, blackmailing mages, impersonating officials...... These things can definitely be done in a day or two, they have to bury enough chess pieces in Ikor's government and army first, and at the same time investigate the details and weaknesses of everyone in the Mage Guild, before they can suddenly attack and control the situation in the entire Regina.

Fear...... The church had been preparing for many years. Even, it is possible that before the empire was divided, they launched this plan.

What a deep move.

After thinking about it, Benjamin spoke again and said, "That...... Do you know how many priests they ambushed in the whole of Regina?"
