Chapter 55: The Uninvited Guest
The identity of the mage is one of Benjamin's lifeblood, and it must not be revealed. The fact www.biquge.info that Scar Man was able to guess that Benjamin was a mage so easily made Benjamin feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that he inadvertently revealed some flaws?
He felt that he still had to ask for it, and it would be better to take precautions in the future. Otherwise, if he accidentally showed the same flaw in front of the bishop, then he would not be finished on the spot.
So, he asked the question.
However, what Scar Man spat out from his fighting teeth was this:
"I ...... I didn't find out that you were a Dharma or a mage, I ...... I just felt a little suspicious and casually ...... I said a word casually...... I came to test you, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect you to be really, really a mage. ”
“......”
Damn, I'm thinking too much about myself again.
Benjamin was a little disappointed to get such an answer. But from another point of view, this just shows that he has no flaws, right?
He was still a little relieved.
After solving this problem, he asked the next question: "Your subordinate, that new bamboo pole, tell me everything you know about him." ”
The man with the scar trembled for a long time, but said, "I...... I don't know where he came from, these men...... These are my friends...... How can I do it to help me gather a bunch of people at random...... Find out the details of each person......"
Benjamin was even more disappointed.
He didn't expect that this famous robber was such a guy who didn't know anything.
Forget it, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything here.
In that case, there's no point in staying here, so let's kill the scar man first, and then leave this place quickly. If he was interested, he could still look for the assassin around here, but when he wasn't interested, he took Jeremy home.
He's wasted enough time on it.
So, Benjamin turned off the gun's insurance and prepared to take out the scar man with one shot.
"Don't! don't...... Don't kill me, Master Mage...... When I hear a gunshot, my men rush in...... They're sure to find out who you are...... Don't kill me!" the scar man immediately panicked. His hands and feet were frozen, but he crawled to Benjamin's feet and pleaded.
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
"Again, if the gunfire draws everyone else, it will be troublesome. ”
Besides, if you think about it, he doesn't need to waste bullets.
The damage Bing inflicted on Scar Man was terrifying, and his body was already suffering irreparably frostbite. Don't look at the fact that he can still talk and struggle, after a while, he should gradually die due to muscle atrophy.
He couldn't call his men for help. In the past, he used to shout to his subordinates, but now he is reluctant to speak, let alone shouting, his subordinates can't hear it. It is estimated that after a while, he will not even be able to speak.
To put it bluntly, he is already a dead man, and it doesn't really make a difference whether he shoots or not.
Thinking so, Benjamin put the gun away instead.
What Benjamin can realize, Scar Man feels personally, and is naturally more aware of it. When he saw that Benjamin was in a tendency to leave him here, he immediately pleaded again: "Master Mage, you ...... Can you help me......? I can be a cow and a horse for you, and I can do things for you...... I...... I also know a lot of things, a lot of things about mages......"
Benjamin ignored him, and he walked over to Jeremy, ready to drag the fainted Jeremy out of here.
"Don't go......! Master Master, save me! only your Dharma ...... Spells can save me, I ...... I know where there are elemental crystals, as long as ...... As long as you save me, I'll tell you right away...... Master Mage......"
Suddenly, Benjamin stopped.
Once again, he reversed his decision to leave Scar Man here.
He turned around and returned to Scarman, looking at him wordlessly.
"Master Mage, really...... That woman is also because of the elemental crystal, I ...... I just got to know her...... I know where there are elemental crystals, as long as you save me, I will take you there immediately!" Seeing this, the scar man was like a fish stranded on the beach, and finally saw the waves, and the light of hope appeared in his eyes again.
Benjamin didn't speak, he looked at the scar man, as if thinking.
The scar man was even more excited. He repeated the words like the one he had just said, desperately begging Benjamin, and the will to survive was now vividly reflected in him.
Benjamin didn't seem to be listening, though.
He thought about it for a while, and finally, he moved. He leaned down and began to search Scarman's body. A dagger, a small bag of gold, a gun, boxes of bullets, a map...... He searched all of Scarman's belongings, took them usefully, and threw them away if they didn't.
Then, he recited the incantation and summoned the healing water balloon in his hand.
"Thank you, thank you, Master Mage!" Scar Man immediately perked up. Looking at him like that, it seemed that if he hadn't been frozen, he would have liked to bow down to Benjamin.
The water balloon was slapped at Scar's body, and then, Benjamin immediately summoned another water balloon.
The injuries on Scar's body are serious, and they are not a problem that can be solved by a few treatments of water balloons. Fortunately, Benjamin's strength has increased greatly, and the healing water balloon he summons every time is also very large, and he is not powerless in the face of such an injury.
After more than 20 healing water balloons, Scar Man's injuries finally fully recovered.
He got up from the ground and moved his limbs in surprise. His body was as nimble as before, and he couldn't even show any signs of frostbite.
"Your magic, Master, is amazing......" he said, looking up at Benjamin.
What he saw, however, was the muzzle of a black hole.
Bang!
Benjamin held the gun with which Scar Man had killed the paladin, pulled the trigger, and hit him right in the middle of the eyebrow.
With a look of horror, despair, and disbelief, Scar Man collapsed, blood slowly spilling from the bullet hole in his forehead. His eyes were so stunned, as if even to death he didn't understand why Benjamin, after spending so much effort to treat him, suddenly changed his mind and shot him.
Actually, Benjamin hasn't changed his mind.
From the beginning, he didn't intend to let Scar Man go.
This is a guy full of evil, kill him a thousand times, and Benjamin will not pity him for half a point. He also doesn't believe in the "elemental crystallization" that Scar Man says, this person is ambitious, very cunning, and will never surrender sincerely. Believing in him is tantamount to sending yourself to the knife.
He would heal the scar man first and then kill him, just for one reason:
Make Scar Man not like he died at the hands of a mage.
Today's trip to the outer city, things have already made a lot of trouble, and even the paladins sent by the church to protect him have died. When the church finds out, it will certainly investigate the matter thoroughly. And Benjamin, as one of the protagonists of the event, had to make up a convincing story in order to still look innocent.
Here's his story: After the paladin was killed by Scarman, both he and Jeremy were taken away by Scarman. Scar Man takes him to the sewers and interrogates him about Michelle, and he kills Scar Man with a single shot while Scar Man is not looking.
The story may sound a bit bizarre, but it's not unreasonable.
In order to fit the story made up by Benjamin, the scar man must die from a gunshot, and there must be no suspicious frostbite marks on his body - that's why Benjamin has to go to such great lengths to cure the scar man completely, leaving no trace at all.
So, there was the scene just now.
There was no way, walking in the city where the church was most powerful, he had to be extremely cautious.
After killing Scar Man, Benjamin doesn't have time to commemorate his first murder with his own hands, and he is about to slip away after carrying Jeremy on his back. The gunshots would have alarmed Scar's men, and Benjamin didn't know if they would come down to check on the situation, but Benjamin didn't want to cause any more trouble.
In short, the land of right and wrong cannot be left for a long time.
Fortunately, after these days of military training, his physical strength has improved a lot, otherwise he would really not be able to carry Jeremy who fainted, let alone escape.
However......
He had just picked Jeremy on his back when suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Benjamin Reese, the one who just used magic in this place, is that you?"
Benjamin turned around in astonishment, only to see a group of knights standing at the entrance to the sewers, looking at him from afar.
There were fourteen of them, dressed in ornate and solemn armor, which shone even in places like the sewers. They lined up in a neat line, holding golden swords in their hands, the one at the head, his sword pointed at Benjamin's throat.
Benjamin's breath was stagnant, his heart almost stopped, and the blood all over his body seemed to rush to his head.
Finished.
It's the "cleaner".
