"What are you going to do?"

Suddenly surrounded by soldiers, Miles was naturally a little surprised. However, he still pretended to be weak and asked in a panic.

"We don't welcome the messenger of Carretus here, get out. The captain-like soldier came out, glared at Miles with a fierce look, and said, "If you don't leave, we'll let you die in the wilderness like the messengers who came before." ”

“......”

Miles glanced over the blockade, stood for a moment, and finally turned silently, and obediently led his horse away under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

He didn't choose to clash with those soldiers, and after leaving, he had no choice but to go into the tunnels to find Benjamin.

"What? they kicked you out?" said Benjamin, who had seen everything with the water elemental induction method, and said with a smile when he saw Miles coming down helplessly.

"They won't let me in, or they'll say they're going to kill me. Miles shook his head and said, "I'm sure I can't get into a confrontation with these people in person, and I'm coming to you." ”

"Can't you sneak in yourself?" asked Benjamin.

"Yes, but it's troublesome. Anyway, you have to dig the tunnel, and it won't be a trouble to take me one. ”

“...... Whatever. ”

Benjamin shook his head and summoned more automatic ice drills, digging forward at a very fast speed.

However, Miles' attempt just now at least tested the attitude of these soldiers - hostility, full of hostility. All the messengers sent before were killed, and the new envoys came again, and they didn't even mean to meet each other.

What happened here after the negotiations?

Magic has a spiritual nature, and it can dig holes with great force, without Benjamin's command at all. Therefore, he could free up his mind and keep turning on the water elemental sensing method, scanning back and forth from above.

Soldiers' tents, storehouses for stockpiling weapons, marching chariots and horses...... After the blockade, every part of the area occupied by Ikor was carefully examined by him. So far, however, he has found nothing.

The occupied area was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter, and soldiers came and went as if they were ready to fight.

But...... After watching it for so long, Benjamin didn't even see the shadow of the mage.

Benjamin's mood was a little delicate.

Maybe their position is still relatively marginal, and it's normal not to see the mage. But...... Thinking of some possibilities, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and continue to look forward.

After about an hour, they cut through the blockade directly from the ground and dug into a relatively remote location. So, Benjamin took control of the ice drill bit, reversed direction, and dug out of the ground again without anyone noticing.

"Whew...... It's hard to be underground. Miles stepped out of the hole and stood by the bunkers of some trees to look around.

Benjamin dissipated the ice drill bit and flew straight out of the tunnel.

"Don't look, there's no one around here, and we're not going to be found. He said.

Hearing this, Miles nodded, and said, "Since we're in, we can split up." I'm trying to sneak into the city and see if I can steal some information. You're ...... Just look for it. ”

“...... I can go to the garrison camp in Ikor and have a look. ”

Anyway, the blockade has been crossed, and it is indeed more efficient to act separately. Miles's infiltration can definitely only be infiltrated alone, and Benjamin has a water elemental sensing method, so it is better to go directly to the camp where the queen may be located to directly induce it.

In short, they are not only going to investigate the Queen's life and death, but also to understand what caused the accident on the day of the negotiation. If someone else is doing it, they have to find some clues.

"Don't lose contact this time. ”

With that, Benjamin handed Miles another piece of sound wood. The two covered up the tunnel, looked at each other, nodded, and turned in different directions.

"Is it true that there is no magic fluctuation in this area?" said Benjamin inwardly as he walked in the direction of the possible camp.

I can't see half a mage...... This phenomenon really worried him.

"Not at all. "I'll be blunt," replied, "the queen may be dead, along with the mage with Ikor." Otherwise, as long as there is mage activity nearby, there will be a small amount of mana fluctuations that can be detected. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but rub his temples.

If that's the case, then they'll have to do it quickly. Ikor's strength plummeted, and it was a matter of minutes before he was swallowed up by the Church. Quickly retaking the territory of Carretus and preparing for another situation of oppression by the Church will be their main task next.

But...... The matter has not been confirmed, hopefully the system has made a mistake.

Benjamin turned on the water elemental perception method, and after searching for more than two hours in this area, he finally found the garrison camp of Ikor's large army.

The guards outside the camp were quite strict, and he couldn't get close, so he could only sense it from the perimeter. However, just as he was approaching, a soldier on horseback had just left the camp with a hurried expression.

Seeing this, Benjamin's heart moved, and he secretly scanned this person.

Unexpectedly, he found a letter from this soldier.

The letter was short, not so much a letter as a short message, a note, or something like that. And on this small piece of paper, the words recorded also made Benjamin's heart cold.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away, seal the border as soon as possible, and stabilize the situation in the country before the Kingdom of Hori knows about it. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Actually...... It's really dead.

That's a big deal!

It's no wonder that Ikor wants to keep all the news shut down and not contact with the outside world at all - they are afraid that if the news gets out, the whole of Ikor will be destroyed in an instant.

And the "elder" in my heart should be the president of the Mage Guild.

Benjamin had met with him before, and they were able to leave Ikor without any problems, and the president had helped them a lot. Within the Mage Guild, the guild leader seems to be the only mage who hasn't drunk potions, so he's probably the only person in Ikor who can step up and preside over the situation in this situation.

It's just that...... The president had been at odds with the queen before, and it was because of the old love and the lives of the mages Ikor, that he did not conflict with the queen.

Now that the queen is dead, how will the president of the Mage Guild choose?

At this moment, Benjamin suddenly realized that he had to find a way to contact the president!

He immediately took out the sound-transmitting wood chip.

"Maurice, find a way to contact the Vinci mage in Riley City. He is an old acquaintance with the head of the Mage Guild of Ikor. Now that the queen of Ikor has died, this president is the only person in Ikor who can preside over the overall situation. You quickly contact this person, and say that there is an old mage named Benjamin, and he wants to meet Jean. ”

With a faint fluctuation of magic power, the news quietly spread into the distance through the wood chip in Benjamin's hand.

He took a deep breath.

This news may determine the fate of several countries in the future.

The president had no contact with him before, and it was only through the tortuous channel of Mage Finch that he could reconnect. In this case, Benjamin had to contact the president of the Mage's Guild.

The president is not hostile to them, perhaps...... This connection can bring them an amazing reward.
