The carriage started slowly, and Benjamin sat in the carriage and opened the envelope and looked at it.

"Please forgive me for communicating with you only in this way. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and there are many words that cannot be said in person......"

"Since the general came to power, the situation in Freden has not been stable. There are rebels everywhere, and it is difficult to completely eradicate them. And in order to maintain the ruling order, the general put most of his manpower on this, and could not spare any other things. Gradually, after a few months, we suddenly noticed some not-so-good signs. ”

"Half a month ago, we caught a guard who might be an undercover agent of the church, and before we could ask anything, the guard died violently in prison, and I still don't know who the murderer is. We suspect that the church is trying to extinguish the dry mouth. However, the guards for prisoners are very strict, and if the church can really kill people without knowing it, it shows that the situation is already a little unoptimistic. ”

"We investigated secretly for a while, and found that the people of the church had taken the opportunity to return to Freden again, and may even have infiltrated the palace. This is a rather serious state of affairs. Your Excellency may still be haunted by our deception, but don't forget that the General betrayed the Church, so it is impossible for the Church to accept him again. Once the priests who are hiding in the shadows gather enough strength, things can get very terrible. ”

"Master Benjamin, we have heard a lot about the feat you accomplished in Carretus, and no one can deny the credit of your Excellency for driving the church out of Freden in the first place. Both the general and I believe that we need your help. No one wants the church to take root again in Freden, and this time, we're going to uproot them. ”

"If you want to believe me, an old man, meet again in private late this night......

After reading the entire letter, Benjamin disposed of the envelope and the stationery, and then fell into deep thought.

The church is making a comeback?

The prime minister said in the letter, after all, there is no evidence, and he is still skeptical. However, he also knew about Freden's turmoil, and it was not unreasonable for the church to take advantage of it.

Come to think of it, after they captured Glori, the priests in Carretus disappeared very quickly. The king investigated very carefully, and in the end only found a few dozen people. As for the rest, it may be transferred to Freden.

Moreover, as soon as this letter came out, the general's overly flattering attitude could be justified. They are in trouble and ask Benjamin for help, but can't they be quiet?

So, after returning to the inn in the carriage, after some careful consideration, Benjamin decided to go to the appointment.

A few hours later, it was late at night, and the streets of Shelly City were getting quieter. Benjamin used the water elemental sensing method to confirm that no one was following him, and quietly left the inn and went to the place agreed in the letter.

"General, Prime Minister, choosing to meet in such a place, the two of you are really ingenious. ”

Standing in the stables near the palace, Benjamin waved his hand, the stench diluted by the water vapor, and looked at the two old men with their noses covered.

"Your Excellency smiled. The Prime Minister smiled, "In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the church, there is nothing wrong with being careful." ”

Benjamin replied, "Rest assured, you two, I have already observed, and there is no one in the vicinity." ”

When dealing with a series of spy tactics such as tracking and eyeliner, the water elemental sensing method is still a fairly useful skill. At least, no one could follow him unnoticed.

"Master Benjamin, no one is staring at us anymore, and we don't have to pretend like we used to. General Stewart also spoke, and said with a serious expression, "As long as you are willing to help us, we will definitely support the Academy of Magic." ”

Benjamin touched his chin and looked a little playful.

"In such a short period of time, the church has recovered in Freeddon, and you are completely helpless? What the hell is going on, you'd better explain it clearly. ”

Don't forget, the entire Freden's army was in the hands of this general, and some mages were enlisted for help. Benjamin didn't think they had anything to do.

There must be some other reason.

"It's because of the rebels in the south. "Most of the rebels have been wiped out by us, but there is still one army left, a few hundred men at first, entrenched on the southern border, and then somehow more and more." They have been hiding in the mountains, and every time they raid our army, they run away after the fight, and they involve a lot of our troops, so we can't spare the manpower to deal with the church for a while. ”

Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

Rebels in the South......

He suddenly remembered that before leading his team into Carretus, he stopped in the border town of Fredon and met a group of rebels who had temporarily occupied the town.

At that time, in order to defuse the scene, Benjamin not only subdued them, but also instructed the half-rebels on how to "revolutionize". Could it be ...... Did those people really survive under the encirclement and suppression, and they became stronger and stronger?

If that's the case, Benjamin has a feeling of wanting to laugh inexplicably.

"In that case, I can help you deal with the rebels, and you can also draw people back and keep the remnants of the church in check. After thinking about it, he said, "This can be regarded as helping you stabilize the situation." ”

"You...... Is it okay?" the general was a little skeptical, "There are quite a few rebels, is it enough for you alone?"

"Don't worry, general, I'll be enough alone. ”

When the two heard this, they exchanged a look. Finally, the general nodded and said, "Well, the famous Master Benjamin, this time we are willing to believe you. But before you leave, you have to help us find out the traitors in the palace, or we will have a hard time here. ”

"Mole...... Do you have any eyebrows?"

The prime minister nodded and said, "Not yet, but clues can be found." And the clue ...... It's on Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Benjamin's heart moved.

Indeed, if he remembers correctly, the people of the church did something to the princess. In a way, they can control the princess and help the church do this and that in the palace. Probably because of this, the comeback of the church happened so quickly.

But correspondingly, if they want to control the princess, they must also contact the princess.

- This is the only clue that can find out the mole.

After thinking about it, Benjamin said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I guess there's no way to recover, right?"

"We don't know, and we don't want to try. The general shook his head, and said something on paper, "Please also understand that if Her Royal Highness the Princess is restored, there will no longer be a place for us in the palace." ”

"But this position doesn't belong to you in the first place. ”

- If Benjamin was still polite before, this sentence seems a little sharp.

Hearing this, the general took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "Yes, I want to be a king, I want my children and grandchildren to be kings for all generations, I don't deny my despicability, and I am ashamed of the glory that the two generations of kings have bestowed on me." Not only that, but I also took advantage of Your Excellency. I apologize if you are still haunted by this. ”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

His words just now were purely to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't expect the general to have such a response.

"Master Benjamin, you've met my grandson too. "He was still a kid and didn't understand how the world worked. But at least for now, he liked Her Royal Highness very much, and although Her Royal Highness was crazy, she also liked to play with him. Beneath this dirty and disgusting political trick, there's at least something clean. ”

Benjamin shook his head.

Pulled out all the grandchildren......

"General, I'm not so careful. He looked a little helpless, and said slowly, "No matter what festivals we had before, in front of the church, I will definitely give priority to dealing with the church." ”

When the general heard this, he showed a relieved expression.

"Thank you, Master Benjamin. ”
