Chapter 680: Hongmen Banquet

Benjamin's expression didn't change. He glanced at the officials around him, thought for a moment, and said, "If the adults can understand, then it will be better." I wonder if you can help me persuade your colleagues?"

Although the senior adviser seemed to be there to help him speak, in reality, Benjamin could feel the division of labor between red and white faces. These people sang and harmonized, as if they wanted to cooperate and push him away.

Therefore, he instead threw the question to the other party.

Spencer smiled, "It's something I've been trying to do. ”

"Well, then, you must be very supportive of our move to establish a branch in Carretus?" said Benjamin, smiling, "Actually, we're just here to do a business and collect some tuition, and we don't have to go through so much trouble." If your lord nods in agreement, and Your Majesty has no opinion, then we will begin. ”

"This ......"

As a result, the senior consultant was also forced to show a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, that's all for today. The king shook his head, and finally spoke, "Your Excellency, the messenger has come from thousands of miles to Glory, and we should take care of your Excellency. Tonight we will have a dinner in the royal palace with all the ministers in attendance. I'm afraid it's only in the relaxed atmosphere of the banquet that these old stubborns can listen to you a little. ”

Benjamin frowned. However, he seemed to think of something, and in the end he did not object.

"Your Majesty's good intentions, I am very much looking forward to it. ”

Then he turned and left. The senior advisor seemed to want to stop him and let him rest in the palace rooms. But Benjamin, as if he hadn't heard, didn't look back, and walked out of the palace on his own.

And in the heart......

"Has the king been transferred?" he asked in an unusually heavy tone.

"It should ...... No. The system replied, "I didn't say he was transferred before, but it just feels a little weird." His whole person is still the same as before, and all kinds of physiological characteristics can match. ”

"So what the hell is going on? Is the church really coming back?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, his mood is actually quite heavy. The king is not a reliable king, and he knows it in his heart, but after all, it is far away, and Benjamin thinks that even if the church wants to do something, it should start with Ikor and not from the king.

But...... The current situation is indeed very much like some kind of force has made a comeback, secretly controlling Carretus, and wants to make this country that has finally calmed down set off a bloody storm again.

Benjamin couldn't think of anyone other than the church.

He couldn't help but think of Grant.

The church was accustomed to intrigues, but he knew what he knew. But just after such a change of hands, Grant had just taken the position of pope, killed his father with his own hands, and then, without hindrance, he was able to command the priest like the former head of the church, and began to stir up the situation in the world?

Benjamin sighed.

As he walked out, he used the water element to spy inside the palace. It's just that he never found any clues. There was no cross hidden in the king's bedroom, and there were no letters from the church in the vault under the palace. Among the servants who came and went in the corridor, there was not a single guy with abnormal mental power.

Benjamin still hasn't let his guard down.

The church knows his methods, and having eaten so many deflats on his hands, he will certainly be more careful in his work. If they do resurrect, there will probably be no clues left in the palace.

He can only rely on his own intuition, or the intuition of the system, to determine the situation in front of him - think about it, it's really unreliable!

But...... Fortunately, he has strength, so he doesn't have to be afraid.

Let's wait and see what happens. If there were more signs, he wouldn't mind sneaking into the palace and kidnapping the king tonight.

In this way, he went around and around the Glori, and at last Benjamin did not settle down in any place, but found a random restaurant, ordered the cheapest cake there, took out the dry food he had brought, and sat down from noon to evening under the angry gaze of the shopkeeper.

At night, the streets of Grey are as quiet as the deep sea, with only a few people occasionally walking past them.

Benjamin returned to the palace.

"Envoy, you're finally here! I thought you were going back to the academy in a fit of rage. Spencer was still standing in the doorway, greeting Benjamin warmly.

Benjamin always felt that there was something in the other party's words. Therefore, he rejected Spencer's friendly request for a hug and walked straight towards the palace.

Unlike the streets outside, the royal palace is now very lively. Just in the hallway, you can hear the faint sound of music. The servants inside and outside were so busy that they didn't even blink their eyes, and a few of them almost hit Benjamin directly.

"I beg your pardon. After His Majesty returned to the throne, he did not want to be too extravagant and wasteful, so the manpower in the palace was sometimes a little tight. Spencer said with a smile.

"Huh. Benjamin casually said, "It is admirable that my lord, as an adviser, knows all the chores of the palace." ”

Finally, Spencer was so stunned by his words that he couldn't open his mouth for a while, and Benjamin also gained a moment of silence.

Because there are no mages here, he can sense with impunity. It's just that what catches your eye is still a normal banquet scene. The dining room was decorated with flowers, with a whole band playing in the corner, young and beautiful dancers dancing on the stage, and officials holding their glasses flushed and smiling at each other...... There's really nothing wrong with that.

As soon as Benjamin entered the main hall of the banquet, he was surrounded by a crowd of people who were full of wine to greet him.

He could only squeeze out a smile, barely coping with these officials who still had a stinky face with him during the day.

"Your Majesty, where has your majesty gone?" looked around, but Benjamin did not find the king. Therefore, he could only turn his head and ask Spencer.

"Today's dance troupe is from out of town, Your Majesty...... Of course, one of the ladies was invited to enjoy the starry sky with her in the garden. ”

“......”

For some reason, Benjamin thought this was what a real king would do.

"Your Excellency, why don't you relax a little now that you're at the banquet, and you don't want anyone else to think that mages are freaks with gloomy faces, do you?" said Spencer, picking up a glass of wine from a passing waiter's plate and handing it to Benjamin.

Benjamin frowned.

Still, he took the glass, examined it, and prepared to take a sip.

"Don't drink it, there's something wrong with this wine!" However, the system suddenly popped up at this moment and reminded loudly.
