Chapter 377: Return to the Eastern Desert
After the summary meeting of the "serial assassinations", Benjamin dismissed the group and left the middle of nowhere, walking back to the hotel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He thought about his next plan.
Just by looking at the shadow of a priest on the street, you know that they have forced the mission of the church to be suspended. However, the church will certainly not rest on its laurels, but may take revenge in a more unexpected way. They have to be more careful.
These days, through private contact between mages, he has added several more mages to his ranks. It's just that if you want to fight against the church, this is obviously not enough.
I don't know how the Declaration of Free Magic is spreading among mages......
Just as Benjamin was thinking in his heart, suddenly, the voice of the system came from his heart.
"Hey, eighty meters ahead, there are four acquaintances of yours, do you want to go up and say hello to them?"
Four acquaintances?
Benjamin frowned.
He looked over according to the guidance of the system, and saw that not far from the street in front of him, the four thieves from the Eastern Desert Hermitage Force, who had tried to steal Benjamin's things before, were walking there, looking around, not knowing what they were looking for.
The moment he saw them, Benjamin was a little speechless.
These people...... Why do you come across these four ghosts every time you walk around Riley City?
And shouldn't they have been hiding well, and why did they come to Riley again?
Thinking so, Benjamin walked over and patted the other man on the shoulder.
So, the four of them turned their heads together and looked at him, but because of Benjamin's disguise, they didn't recognize him. Therefore, they just stared dryly, with an expression of "who are you, big brother".
"Follow me. Benjamin whispered to the four.
No way, as a qualified underground party, he can't wash off the camouflage on his face in the street, that doesn't mean shouting to the church "come and arrest me". They'd better find a hidden place.
"Why should I want you to go?" However, the four thieves were not very cooperative, and looked at him with the eyes of a madman.
When Benjamin heard this, he felt heartbroken.
"That...... Do you remember some time ago, I flew you to the Eastern Desert to find the Elders?" he hesitated, lowered his voice, and said, "That's right, it's me. ”
Suddenly, all four of them showed some puzzled eyes.
"Isn't that right...... He doesn't look like this, you want to lie to us. ”
"That's because I've disguised!" Benjamin was about to go crazy, but he could only lower his voice, "aren't you thieves? You can't even see through this? You are a fart thief!"
“......”
In silence for the four, Benjamin finally pulled them into a remote alley. He then washed the camouflage off his face. The four of them looked at him, and their expressions changed from dementia to dumbfounded.
"It's, it's really you. One of the thieves said incredulously, "It's amazing, we didn't even see it." ”
Benjamin was speechless.
It's obvious that your skills are too bad!
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts behind him, his expression returned to seriousness, and said, "Aren't you supposed to be with that wheelchair man?
The other party replied, "It was the elder who asked us to come to you." ”
"Looking for me?" Benjamin frowned, "what is he looking for me for?"
Is there a situation?
That time I talked to the man in the wheelchair, and the other party directly broke the word that Aldrich was an undercover agent of the church. This time he came to him again, could there be any unexpected person who was actually a spy of the church?
Seriously, if this kind of plot happens a few times, he will be a little overwhelmed.
"We don't know. The thief shook his head, and said, "But he said something very important, so we must find you." ”
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded helplessly.
Since there is something important, let's take a trip.
Besides, aren't there still a lot of reclusive mages on the other side? These days, the changes in the church must have affected them as well, and maybe some of them will be dissatisfied with the church and willing to defect to Benjamin.
And the bracelet that is said to be the key to the Valley of God's Forsaken. At that time, Benjamin gave his things to the wheelchair man for safekeeping because he was in a critical situation and didn't know what would happen next. And now, the situation is gradually stabilizing, and it is time for him to get his things back.
Well...... Now that I think about it, there are quite a few things that have fallen out there that have not been resolved.
In this way, Benjamin went back to the inn to pack his things, left a secret message for the other mages, and set off again with the four thieves.
"Where did you move after I left?"
Flying in the air, Benjamin asked.
"We didn't transfer. The thief replied, "Originally, the elders were afraid that the church would chase them into the desert, so they wanted to hide in a different place." It didn't take long for the mess to arrive, about the death of the king and the fact that the church was allowed to preach...... And the triangular ghosts of these days. When the elders heard about it, they said that someone had already sucked the attention of the church away, and we didn't need to change places. ”
Benjamin smiled helplessly when he heard this.
So much has really happened in this month. The situation has become so fast, and it is indeed better to stay where you are safe.
It's just that...... They don't seem to know that Benjamin did all these things?
If they knew, they didn't know what the change would be.
"By the way, you have put a curse on us!" Suddenly, the thief spoke again, and said angrily, "You said that our intestines would rot in a month, but the elders told us that the curse has no such effect, and you are lying to us!"
Benjamin shrugged his shoulders nondeniably.
"At that time, it was just for you to lead the way. There's nothing wrong with it now, I'll untie it up for you later. ”
When the four of them heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy smile.
In this way, since the other party's residence has not changed, Benjamin has been there once, and the system naturally remembers it firmly. A day later, they arrived again at Freedon's Eastern Desert, a small oasis house in the middle of the desert.
Coming down from the sky, as is customary, Benjamin woke the four thieves from their coma with a healing water balloon, and then left them alone and walked into the house.
Between the neatly arranged shelves, he saw the wheelchair man again.
"Long time no see. Benjamin said hello.
The wheelchair man looked at him, but sighed, and said, "What the hell have you done? ”
Benjamin was a little confused.
What are you doing? As soon as we met, I would ask questions that would be as if Benjamin had done something wrong.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
"Is that why you came all the way to get me?" he shook his head, "and you don't know what I've done, how do you know if I'm right or wrong?"
"Of course I know what you've done. The wheelchair man immediately retorted, "You killed the king, and you spread rumors in Freden to lead the people to think that Aldrich was the murderer." You have also killed more than two dozen priests in the city in a row, and you may well have completely angered the church. ”
As he spoke, he paused, and suddenly pulled a pamphlet from the nearby shelf and threw it at Benjamin.
"And you made this thing. ”
Benjamin frowned, took the booklet, and looked at it.
It's the Freedom of Magic Declaration.
