Benjamin and his party walked in the wasteland on the border between the kingdoms of Ikor and Hori. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not very appropriate to say it's leaving. If they really only relied on their legs to make their way forward, it would be a bit too slow for their group - who knows if someone will catch up from behind, not to mention that they are mages, and there is no need to walk on foot like ordinary people.

After moving away from Ikor's camp, they decided to fly to get there. It's just that there aren't many mages in the team who have learned the art of flying, only seven or eight in total, and what about the rest?

-- Then Benjamin will have to hold it up alone.

With his current level of magic, with the powerful thrust of water vapor, he could barely blow the rest of the people up. It's just that this way of "flying" is a bit reluctant. So, the whole process was that those few mages who could fly were on the side, watching the remaining dozen or so people rolling in the air, their hair flailing, and even a few of them had already frothed at the mouth, and their minds were a little unclear.

“...... Luckily, we learned how to fly before we could. The flying mage looked at this scene, also showed a frightened expression, and whispered.

In this way, after flying for more than half an hour, Benjamin also had to stop and rest because of the consumption of mental power. The others fell to the ground and showed varying degrees of vomiting, indicating that we should walk on our legs.

Benjamin was also helpless about this.

Holding up more than a dozen people to fly in the sky is already a very reluctant thing. At the same time, he really can't maintain the balance of these more than ten people.

Luckily, the whole wasteland wasn't too big, and they were far away from the gate, so there was no problem with the rest of the way.

It was also quite late at this moment, so Benjamin and his party stopped on the spot, set up camp, and prepared to rest for the night, and then continue their journey tomorrow.

And the route they took was planned before they left the gate.

Wallis was a businessman and did business with people from many other countries. Therefore, they got their hands on Ikor's map early, so that they would not leave the kingdom and have to walk around.

Passing through the wasteland, they will soon reach a place called Hanktown, where they will settle down for a few days. Later, they would ask more about the mage's survival in Ikor and the other two countries, and then decide on the next trip.

But as far as Benjamin is concerned, he would rather go to Fredon.

It's not that he trusts Michelle's judgment, it's just that he knows that Michelle's hatred for the church must be unquestionable. She must have had her reason for letting Benjamin go to Fredon to find her teacher before she "died".

And, from what little information he had heard, Freden seemed to be the most liberal of the three.

In these three countries, Karites was already secretly dealing with the Church, and it was only a matter of time before the mages of that country would suffer. He has also seen this queen of Ikol, and the desire to control is a little too strong, and it will be difficult to stay in her country with peace of mind. Therefore, only Freden has a better image in his mind.

So, Benjamin wants to go to Fredon for many reasons. However, he also has to take into account what others on the team think. In case the gang accidentally falls in love with Ikor along the way, or wants to settle here for some other reason, Benjamin will have to take their opinions into account, won't he?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The lives of more than 20 people are equivalent to being handed over to him, and he has to be more cautious.

Just as Benjamin was lying in his tent, thinking about his next plan, suddenly, a call interrupted his thoughts.

"Your Excellency Benjamin. ”

Benjamin came to his senses, stood up, and stepped out of the tent they had set up improvise. I saw that the person who called him was Augustin, who was standing outside the tent at the moment, followed by an unfamiliar face.

"What's the matter? Who is this man?" asked Benjamin.

Augustin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know very well either. He said that he had been separated from his companions, had lost his way in the wilderness, could not find his way, and had met us by chance and wanted to ask if we could take him with him. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin showed a somewhat surprised expression and looked the stranger up and down a few more times.

It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with some old clothes, the kind of clothes worn by a merchant's servant, and he looked tired, as if he had lost his way.

After thinking about it, Benjamin nodded and said, "Then stay, isn't there an extra tent over there?" I'll take you there, you can rest there." ”

Augustine seemed a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. The strange young man immediately smiled gratefully and bowed to Benjamin several times.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Then, Benjamin took the young man and found the tent in the middle of nowhere.

The tent was a little crowded, and Benjamin walked in first, and the young man followed on his heels. However, as soon as the young man entered the tent, he suddenly felt his hands numb and almost fell to the ground.

"Great, sir?"

At that moment, Benjamin's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed the young man's arm hard. Without hearing the slightest incantation, two clouds of ice suddenly appeared, freezing the young man's hands. The cold that penetrated deep into his bone marrow also spread, making his whole body unable to exert his strength at that moment.

After a few struggles, the young man suddenly fell to the ground and could not stand up.

Seeing this, Benjamin let go of his hand, looked at the young man with a flustered face condescendingly, and said, "Say, the queen sent you here, what is her purpose?"

The moment these words blurted out, the expression on the young man's face seemed to freeze.

"My lord, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Still loading.

Benjamin let out a cold snort, and once again used the technique of mindfulness spell casting, condensing an ice needle in his hand. He pointed the ice at the young man's throat and said indifferently, "Now, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

The youth's expression changed again.

He suddenly became very calm, his eyes met Benjamin without a trace of emotion, and the atmosphere in the whole tent became a little tense.

A moment of silence.

"Got it, you get rid of that thing first, it's ...... It made me shiver from the cold. ”

When he said this, the young man seemed to have torn off a layer of disguise in his personality, and his whole temperament and demeanor changed.

Benjamin was not half surprised.

In fact, when he saw the strange young man for the first time, he didn't really recognize the other party. But soon, the system pops up to remind him that this person has actually appeared in the camp of Ikor outside the gate before, and also brings up the picture from that time and shows it to Benjamin.

It was a rather vague picture, and in the picture, the young man was also hiding in the crowd, flashing by, very imperceptible. Because of this, Benjamin didn't really pay attention to this person, but glanced at it and didn't leave an impression.

This is no small matter.

The people in Ikor camp came running to follow them, and ...... Is this guy's intention really just to stalk? Seeing that he is so skillfully disguised, what is the purpose of the queen sending him over?

So Benjamin decided to torture the guy properly. However, he didn't want to alarm most of the mages who had already rested, and confirmed that the young man was just an ordinary person by using the water elemental induction method. Therefore, as if he had not found anything, he first brought the young man to the tent, and then made a sudden attack and restrained the fellow.

"Tell me what the Queen's purpose is, or I won't take it away. As he spoke, he continued to probe the ice needle in his hand, almost piercing the opponent's neck and freezing the ill-intentioned young man into an ice sculpture.
