Regina at night, it's nearly eleven o'clock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Benjamin waited in the agreed room.

He was well prepared to deal with the mysterious young man. There are a large number of ice cubes and water balls stored in the consciousness space, which can be summoned at any time to unleash powerful attacks. Several of the most powerful mages in the team are also disguised as servants at this moment, following Benjamin's side, carrying all kinds of magic items stolen from the church, ready to strike at any time.

What's more, the other party has powerful potions, and Benjamin also has them.

In addition to the mana amplification potion he won from Richard, Benjamin also bought a similar potion in the store in Gard City, which can increase people's mental power and elemental affinity for a short time. It's just an entry-level effect, but after trying it out, it feels pretty good.

It was the power of potions that made Benjamin dare to set this trap and lure the strange young man out. Otherwise, the opponent's strength is confusing, and he will not dare to make a move at will.

In this way, little by little, with the passage of time, soon, eleven o'clock arrived.

Benjamin looked at the closed door.

Before you know it, everyone in the room is breathing very lightly, and no one moves, afraid that making a little noise will make the upcoming opponent smell danger.

"What if no one comes in the end?" the system suddenly spoke, almost startling Benjamin, who was concentrating.

"If he doesn't come, I can go to the Mercenary Association to complain about him. Taking a deep breath, Benjamin regained his composure and said, "The association has a set of tasks with a bounty of more than 100 yuan, and if the mercenary disappears, the association is obliged to provide the employer with certain personal information about the mercenary. With his information, we can naturally follow the vine and rescue Augustine. ”

The system suddenly said: "There is still such a hand, it's really enough for a chicken thief." ”

"Thanks for the compliment. Benjamin smiled inwardly.

He had already invested a lot of money, so he might not have any other preparations? The strange young man realized in advance that something was wrong and disappeared again, and he did not imagine this situation.

In short, he was fully prepared and just waiting for his opponent to take the bait.

Just as Benjamin and the system were talking in their minds, suddenly, there were two very soft knocks on the door of the room, which had not moved.

Suddenly, Benjamin came to his senses.

Glaring at the mages behind him, he nodded and stood up. He rubbed his cheeks and let himself smile warm, natural. Then he walked to the door, grabbed the handle, and turned it slightly.

There was a click, and the door opened.

After a brief silence, an exclamation full of question marks came from the quiet room.

“...... How are you?"

Benjamin looked at the familiar face outside the door, and couldn't help but widen his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

I saw that the man outside the door lifted the hat of his cloak, revealing a wrinkled old man's face, which was not half similar to the strange young man before, but was another person who was more familiar to Benjamin.

- The person who knocked on the door and came in was the boss of the "Silver Fox" he had met in the royal capital before.

"This little brother...... Have we met?" the old man obviously hadn't recognized Benjamin yet, and he could only say with a puzzled look in his eyes when faced with this situation.

Hearing this, Benjamin came back to his senses, but could only sigh in disbelief.

Daddy......

I thought that I had succeeded in attracting people, and I was ready to take down my opponent. Outcome...... As a result, the ambush he had carefully prepared was wasted in such a completely unexpected way.

Who the would have thought of such a thing?

In order to avoid the search of the church, the boss of the "Silver Fox" should have left the royal capital very early, which Benjamin knew. However, even if he knew, he would not have imagined that the old man would actually come to Ikor and Regina, and he would have taken over the task that Benjamin had released!

What is this?

Can...... Is there such a fate in this world?

"It's called bad fate. "The system came out very appropriately to make amends.

Benjamin wanted to cry without tears.

Because everyone else was still looking at him with a confused expression, he had no choice but to wipe off the disguise on his face and return to his original appearance. He shook his head and turned to the old man with the "Silver Fox" and smiled wryly.

"Long time no see. His tone sounded a little helpless, "I...... I really didn't expect that you actually came to Regina and happened to take over my mission. ”

Looking at Benjamin's true face, the old man's eyes were puzzled at first, and then slowly turned into eccentric, as if he felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while.

But soon, he recognized Benjamin, and because of this, his stunned face seemed to see a piece of gold-shaped feces falling from the sky.

"You...... You're the silly boy who likes to pretend to be a beggar. The old man's long-squinted eyes were also wide at this moment, "Aren't you in Haven Lite, why did you come here?"

Hearing this, Benjamin could only smile helplessly.

"This is the ...... That's a long story. ”

Behind him, several mages disguised as servants looked at each other. They still held the magic potion in their hands, as if they were still waiting for the battle to begin, but they could only open their mouths wide and show a blank expression.

Faced with this situation, Benjamin can only admit it. He let a few mages leave, then closed the door and explained the whole incident to the "Silver Fox" boss. From beginning to end, from Haven Wright to Regina, what happened during this time was all recounted by him.

Of course, out of various considerations, he did not directly indicate that he was the one who smashed the big water balloon in the royal capital, but vaguely blurred the series of plots of escaping from the kingdom, so as not to make the old man think too much.

Even so, though, the whole story is a bit complicated. It took Benjamin about fifteen minutes to explain it all.

"What do you mean...... When you posted that task, you didn't really want to do that task, but you wanted to lure out the people who took your friends?"

Benjamin smiled wryly and nodded.

Seeing this, the old man hesitated for a while, but still stretched out his hand, patted Benjamin on the shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry to ruin your plan." But...... Since settling in Ikor, I have basically taken over the task of finding people. Your bounty is so large, I don't know it's you, I'll definitely take it, and you don't blame me. ”

Benjamin couldn't say anything, only sighed bitterly again.

Indeed, he can't blame others for this kind of thing.

It's just that...... I was happy again.

After recovering his mood for a while, suddenly, as if thinking of something, Benjamin's expression changed and he said, "You...... Still helping people out of trouble?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, although I haven't been here for a long time, there are a few old guys in the mercenary association, who used to be mercenaries of the kingdom and later fled here. I have a good relationship with them, and I rely on a few old friends, and I am fairly well-informed. ”

Suddenly, Benjamin's eyes lit up again.

"In that case, can you help me find someone?"
