Benjamin was almost out of breath with fright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was evening, and the whole forest was in a silent and dim atmosphere. A little light leaked through the gaps in the leaves, and there were shaking shadows everywhere. However, under this environment, a miserable white face suddenly appeared, and the impact was really a bit big.

Benjamin didn't even think twice about it.

Hundreds of ice blades were summoned and floated above his head. At that moment, he subconsciously used his magic and commanded countless ice blades to hit him!

And only then did he see what was on the other side.

It seems like...... Is it an individual?

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you want? Help, kill someone!"

In the forest not far away, the pale face that looked very gloomy also moved, revealing a panicked expression. He emerged from the shadows and scrambled backwards.

Everything happened in a hurry, and the ice blade came quickly. In the face of this formation, the man had already stumbled and tripped to the ground, and it was obviously impossible to hide anymore.

He could only turn his head and look at the overwhelming ice blades, revealing a look of despair.

"Stop. ”

At this moment, Benjamin came to his senses and clapped his hands gently.

Hundreds of ice blades seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and suddenly stopped in mid-air. The man's pale face was covered with cold sweat, but the scene of blood splashing in the mountains and forests still didn't happen after all.

"Who are you?"

Benjamin asked suspiciously, waving his hand, dispersing the ice blade.

"This ...... Hello, my name is Luke, thank you for your mercy. The man stood up from the ground for a moment, and replied tremblingly.

Benjamin also saw the other party's appearance clearly at this time.

An ordinary person in his thirties, extremely thin, dressed in a black robe, and his face was so pale that he almost had some kind of disease. The other party also had a feeling of sickness all over his body, and he was extremely weak.

However, Benjamin felt a unique spiritual power and elemental movement from the other party.

"Are you a mage?" he asked.

Luke nodded.

Benjamin then asked, "Why are you here? Are you alone? ...... Isn't it the same group of mages who entered the Kampra Mountains a few months ago?"

Luke was stunned, and the overwhelmed number of questions made it a little difficult for him to answer for a while. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "How do you know? After the fall of the Mage Freemasonry, I felt that life in the country was getting worse and worse, so I moved into this mountain with some companions. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's kind of let him find it.

"How many of you are there?" he asked again.

"Not a few, a few hundred. Luke held out his hand and pointed in the direction behind him, "Our lodgings are just north of a hill ahead. My lord...... You're here to visit us?"

There are so many people?

These mages are really strange, hundreds of mages are already a force to be reckoned with, and they can completely fight against the church, and they have to hide in the mountains.

But...... When you think about it, they don't seem to know that the church exists.

These people should have been secretly led by the church, and they felt that it was boring to stay in the crowd, so they ran to the mountains themselves, and they didn't think that this idea was led by some people through public opinion.

But in any case, it is very good news for Benjamin to be able to find mages in the mountains, or to find a large group of mages.

Therefore, Benjamin nodded and said, "Sort of, I still have some companions, can I go and see your residence?"

Luke agreed, saying, "Of course, there are often new mages entering the Candela Mountains during this time and finally joining us. ”

In this way, although the situation of the meeting was a bit unexpected, Benjamin finally found the local mage army of Carretus. So he returned to the camp and told his mages the news.

Everyone was happy to hear the news - they had found a large army, and they didn't have to camp here. Therefore, everyone set out, put away their tents, and followed Luke towards their base in the mountains.

"Why did you decide to come to the Candela Mountains in the first place?" asked Benjamin as he turned to Luke on the way.

"There's no reason for it, it's mainly because there are few people here and there are plenty of materials. Luke replied, "At first, I came in with a dozen people, but later I found out that there were quite a few mages hiding here, and they slowly gathered together to deal with the demonic beasts. Everyone here is a mage, and they live very comfortably, and they don't care what those lowly ordinary people think of us. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

Are all the mages here in this way?

No wonder they want to live in seclusion, it's heartfelt that they don't care about anything in the world. In this way, it seems that it will not be so easy for Benjamin to change their minds and let them leave the mountains to deal with the church.

How to do that......

Thinking like this all the way, about two hours later, after climbing another hill, Benjamin finally arrived at the mage's dwelling in the mountains.

The location of the residence is extremely secluded. They followed Luke through a cave covered with vegetation, made several bends, and walked out of the cave at the end of the cave, where they finally saw a magical village hidden in the heart of the mountain.

Although hidden inside a mountain, the terrain of the village is relatively open, and the houses are scattered and somewhat crudely built. A large opening was made in the upper wall of the mountain, through which outside light passed, and it did not become a complete cavern, with a barely usable natural light source.

Benjamin couldn't help but admire, such a suitable terrain for seclusion, it is simply a natural peach blossom source, I don't know how these people found this.

Obviously, if there was no one to lead the way, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to find this place.

The whole village is not lively, and there are not many people coming and going, probably because these mages don't like to go out either, and most of them stay in the houses. A few mages who were active outside also looked pale, probably because this place was difficult to receive direct sunlight, and it had a gloomy temperament.

"There are a lot of people, and I'm afraid there aren't enough empty houses to live in. Luke said as he led the way, "I'll go and ask the elders later, and see if I can find enough space for you." ”

"It doesn't matter, there is a lot of open space on the edge of the village, and we can camp here. Benjamin replied.

"That's right...... If you don't have an opinion, I won't say anything. Luke nodded, and then said, "By the way, I don't know why you came to visit us in the mountains?"
