The moment he saw that hand, Benjamin was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that he's timid, it's just that he's in the environment he's in - an underground city that I don't know how many years I've been buried, not a single living person, quiet as a cemetery, a group of statues walking around here, and a mountain of bones outside...... What's even more terrifying is that it's full of that kind of horror movie-style green light, and the whole picture is eerie to the extreme.

Even if you are a brave person, in this case, being put up from behind by a hand will scare your balls to shrink.

After the initial scare, Benjamin subconsciously used his magic and prepared to fight back.

However, what he didn't expect was that the hand on his shoulder suddenly made a sound, and with it, Benjamin, who was about to fight back, was stunned.

All right...... It wasn't the sound of the hand, it was just that the voice came from behind him, giving him the illusion that the hand was talking. Actually, it was the man behind him who spoke.

"Your Excellency, don't be impulsive, we have no ill intentions. ”

Benjamin dodged and hurriedly distanced himself from the unknown guy behind him. Then, cautiously, he turned around and looked to the other side.

I saw that there were three humans standing in place.

Not statues, not ghosts, just three living humans. Although it was reflected in the eerie green light, Benjamin could also tell that it was three young men, two men and one woman, all standing there, looking at Benjamin with a strange look.

“......”

The scene was a little awkward.

"Who are you?" asked Benjamin, taking a deep breath and regaining his serious expression.

Even if it's not a strange creature, it's a very strange thing for a few people to suddenly appear here. His cowardice was seen by others, and he was not yet ready to let his guard down.

"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. The three of them looked at each other, and the one at the head stepped forward and said, "My name is Tony, and we are from the Mage Freemasonry. Excuse me, did you find the ruins here?"

...... Mage Freemasonry?

Suddenly, Benjamin's heart moved.

He put away a slight defensive posture, but did not approach the three of them, and said, "Why are the people of the Mage Freemasonry here?"

Tony hesitated for a moment and replied, "We received news that there was an elemental anomaly in the south of Riley City, so we came to investigate, and as a result, we found that a large hole appeared in the mountain. We entered along the entrance of the cave, found this ruin, and finally, met you, Your Excellency. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but think of the skyrocketing green light that erupted from here when the cave entrance was opened.

It's not that far from Riley City, and if someone is alarmed and comes to it, it's normal. It's just that...... He was still amazed that the Mage Freemasons had sent someone over.

He didn't expect that his first contact with the Mage Freemasons would be in such a situation.

"Do you have anything to prove your identity?" he asked, though, after thinking about it.

The three nodded, took a badge from their coat pocket, and showed it to Benjamin.

Benjamin had heard of the insignia of the Mage Freemasonry, looked at it twice, and confirmed the identities of the three of them as mages through the water elemental induction method. So, in the end, he was relieved of his suspicions.

"Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I'm a mage who has only recently settled in Riley City. He said.

The three of them smiled politely and nodded to Benjamin.

"I've heard of Your Excellency, the one who shines at the gathering of the Venched Mages, and I didn't expect to see you here. Tony smiled and said, "This ruin must have been discovered by Your Excellency." Your Excellency is truly remarkable. ”

Although he was slapped on the back, Benjamin's mood was still not good, so he could only smile reluctantly and nodded.

He had a faint feeling that he was not very happy.

The parchment was dripped out of his blood, and he opened the hole. Although there is no ownership, it is like digging treasure in the middle of digging, and a few people suddenly appeared, saying that they were people sent by the organization, interrupting his exploration, and asking questions, it is normal for him to have a sense of crisis.

In case these three people ask and ask, and then suddenly say, "All handed over to the state", then Benjamin is definitely going to beat people.

"I wonder when you found out about this?" Tony continued.

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Just today, a few hours ago. ”

"And what did you find here?" asked Tony.

Look, here it is.

Benjamin looked as usual and said, "I didn't find anything. I didn't dare touch the moving statues, and after going all the way here, I only saw these stone slabs. I don't understand what is written on it, I don't know what the hell is going on here. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then added very naturally: "Have you found anything?"

Tony shook his head, and instead looked at the slate in Benjamin's hand.

"Can you show us the slate you are holding? Maybe we have information here that can help you decipher it. ”

Benjamin glanced at the slate, hid his displeasure, and handed it to the other party with a smile.

In any case, he really couldn't understand the things on the slate except for the triangle. The slate was an ordinary slate with no special effects, as he had confirmed. Entering the pure blue world has nothing to do with the slate, which is why he is willing to hand it over to the other party so simply.

Besides, he also wondered if the Mage Freemasons could really crack the contents.

"I'll see, this is ......" Tony took the slate and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

"How? Can you decipher the text?"

After a moment of silence, Tony shook his head and said, "This seems to be a very old text, and all the records have never seen anything like this. I...... It may have to be given to someone higher in the hierarchy to be able to recognize it. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin showed a dissatisfied look.

"This place was discovered by me, and this slate was also found by me. The Mage Freemasons have always respected the property of every mage, so how can they casually take things out of someone else's hands?"

Seeing this, Tony immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry to misunderstand you, we didn't want to infringe on your interests." ”

Benjamin said coldly: "But what you are doing now is infringing on my interests." No matter how rare this tablet is, I don't think you will return it to me once you ask for it. ”

Slate is really not a useful thing, and the content on it is remembered by the system. It's just that if these people want to take the slate away, Benjamin doesn't say something, it must be unreasonable.

He doesn't take a tough stance now, and when it comes to the problem of the entire underground city, it will be too late for him to be tough.

"How so? Your Excellency has definitely misunderstood us. Tony waved his hand in embarrassment and said, "Well, let's exchange two forbidden spells for this slate." How's that going? This deal is sincere enough, isn't it? Please don't be angry. ”

Benjamin sneered in his heart.

At the Mason assembly, he heard quite a few things about the Masonic Fellowship. They have a lot of forbidden spells there, but most of them are impossible to use. This guy is now proposing this condition, obviously bullying Benjamin outsiders, thinking that he doesn't know, and wants to use these things to scold him.

Therefore, don't look at Tony's attitude seems to be very good, behind this guy's smiling face, the scheming is definitely hidden.

"Two forbidden spells......" However, Benjamin did not attack on the spot, but followed the other party's words and said, "Such a precious stone slab, at least five forbidden spells, otherwise, I will not exchange it for you." ”

They all want to take advantage of each other, so he will take advantage of each other. If one day he gets lucky, and whoever of his subordinates learns a forbidden spell, then he won't make a lot of money.

In short, he felt that it was impossible for him to get more benefits from the slate, and the influence of the Mage Freemasons was so great, he couldn't directly tear his face with them.

"Five Forbidden Spells, ......"

Tony looked embarrassed, and his two companions also acted in accordance with his expressions. Probably those bargaining tricks, Benjamin has nothing to fear. Eventually, in five minutes, he used this stone tablet to swap six forbidden spells into his hand.

The way the Mage Freemasons recorded forbidden spells was that a book was written for each forbidden spell. After the deal was negotiated, Tony took out six books, handed them directly to Benjamin, and said with a heartache expression: "These are the six forbidden spells, we have always respected every mage, please don't be angry." ”

Benjamin nodded, and took the six books as if he didn't know that the forbidden spell couldn't be used, and secretly rejoiced.
