Chapter 902: Endless troublemakers
In the quiet square, the voice sounded so clear that it fell on everyone's ears.
Everyone was stunned.
Benjamin frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. However, at the edge of the square, he only saw the crowd rubbing shoulders, but he did not see anyone standing up. And the group of people also looked left and right, looking for who was talking just now.
"Who is questioning the cause of His Majesty's death? If there is evidence, come out and speak, don't hide. ”
So, as he spoke, he asked about the system in his heart.
The system immediately brought up the picture just now, and to some surprise, in the picture, the person who spoke was a little beggar dressed in tatters. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he hid in the crowd, and when he had opened his mouth, he would bend down and hide to the side, and then beg as if nothing had happened.
...... Hired by the church?
Benjamin's eyes narrowed. This guy is obviously just making trouble, just shouting, and he doesn't plan to do anything more. But the trouble is that with so many people watching, he can't catch the little beggar and confront him in court, right?
He just asked the system to remember the other party's appearance and prepare to settle the account later.
At this moment, everyone in the square looked at each other, and no one stood up to say anything, but it was obvious that what he had just said still aroused some suspicion. The magic academy also uses magic to prove the murderer with wound marks...... There is a real possibility of falsification.
Seeing this, Benjamin thought about it and spoke again:
"Since there are still people who have doubts, then I will explain it more clearly. He pointed to the small hole in the king's chest and said slowly, "Your Majesty died because of the hole in the heart, but in an instant, the hole less than a centimeter, the entire wound was scorched, which is not something ordinary people can do." In fact, even many bishops can't use this kind of magic spell, and only one person in the whole world has this ability. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and the water element condensed and compressed in his palm, and then gradually lengthened, forming an extremely thin water filament.
He showed the silk for everyone to see.
"At that time, the Pope condensed the Holy Light into this form, and then attacked His Majesty. He explained, "The gentleman who doesn't want to show his face, yes, the Academy of Magic has always studied priests, and there are many mages who can command the Light, but ...... If you want to condense such a filament and assassinate Your Majesty, that person's magic level must be the same as my magic level. ”
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Unfortunately, our academy does not yet have such a genius, otherwise the Pope would have died at our hands that night. ”
Everyone in the square looked at the king's corpse, and then looked at the water in Benjamin's hand twice, and their expressions were a little curious. Most people don't know much about magic, but they know one thing - the dean of the Academy of Magic is the most powerful mage, and the Pope is the most powerful priest, these two people are on the same level, and no one else can compare with them.
And according to Benjamin, this kind of wound can only be done by people of their level.
It is impossible for the water to scorch the wound, so, by analogy, there is only one person left in the whole world.
Although many people are still a little confused in their hearts, they don't understand those magic, elements, and the like...... But judging from Benjamin's extremely affirmative tone, and the sneaky disappearance of the person who shouted before, they are still more inclined to the statement of the Black Nightmare Army-
It was the Pope who killed His Majesty!
Some lamented, some were angry, some were puzzled, but after detailed explanations and proofs, at least, these people present had confirmed this fact in their hearts. At that moment, the church they had in mind was completely dead, leaving only an empty shell of treacherous hypocrisy and cruelty.
However......
"Demons, deceitful ones!, you will go to hell!" another voice sounded from the edge of the square, and this time, the owner of the voice finally chose to appear.
It was a group of men, men and women, all embroidered with huge crosses on their clothes, and their eyes showed fanatical emotion. Somewhat similar to the anti-church demonstrations that preceded them, they kept shouting and holding huge signs, except that they ...... The content of their slogans is very different from the parade, and most of them are curses and insults to the mage.
Seeing this, Benjamin wasn't even angry, just shook his head speechlessly.
A single funeral can make so many moths......
However, if you really want to talk about it, this should be the first official gathering of an anti-church nature in the Kingdom of Hori? No matter how loud the previous demonstrations were, they were also civil, underground, and contrary to the mainstream discourse. And when the mage finally stands on the official podium, there will always be some old antiques who feel like they have been slapped in the face, let alone these fanatics.
"You can see what kind of people the supporters of the church are. Benjamin didn't take this seriously at all, and said coldly, "This is Your Majesty's funeral, a place for us to mourn the dead, and you accomplices of the church are not welcome." Guards, get them out. ”
The soldiers on either side nodded, and walked towards the fanatics to chase the yelling people away.
However, these fanatics are obviously not so easy to drive away. They scuffled with the soldiers for a while, and suddenly, the middle-aged man in the middle of them shouted loudly: "This demon is lying! He is only for his own selfish desires! He wants to usurp the throne! He wants to be the king! Her majesty is the daughter of the former king, and she is the only orthodox member of the royal family! Don't believe him!"
When Benjamin heard this, he finally became a little impatient.
"I want to be the king?Who forced Her Royal Highness to death, and also kidnapped Her Royal Highness the Princess, and forcibly let her succeed to the throne when she was less than four years old, so that he could control the power of the country himself?" he let out a cold snort and said without hesitation, "Besides...... Since it has been mentioned here, then I will tell you that the queen forcibly adopted by the church has been rescued from our control!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the mage behind him. The mage nodded, and turned to walk towards the town hall.
And everyone in the square was in an uproar.
"Your Majesty...... Your Highness is here too?"
Even the few fanatical believers who were making trouble were stunned, and stood on the spot, looking at Benjamin with a stunned expression.
Half a minute later, the mage flew out of the town hall with the princess in his arms, and slowly landed on the high platform, standing with Benjamin. Benjamin took the princess, held it in his arms, and showed it to everyone present. At that moment, everyone in the square looked at the princess's immature face and was shocked.
Benjamin put down the princess and reported the names of the six sacrificed nobles.
“...... Together with the Duke of Colin, these six lords rescued Her Royal Highness the princess from the palace at a time of crisis, and sent them all the way to me. And it was on that occasion that the church blew up Lake Pearl, and six adults died and were buried alive by the church. All this, the knights of their family can testify!"
The square fell silent, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. A few fanatics were like ducks choked by the neck, squeezing their throats, but they couldn't make a sound.
