Chapter 669: Asking the Truth

The expressions of the six people were obviously very confused. Suddenly caught in prison, poisoned by unknown people, and at this moment, they wake up in a completely unfamiliar mountain area, probably similar to the feeling that the whole person has crossed over.

Benjamin, who was standing not far away, was probably the only existence they were familiar with at the moment.

“...... Young master, young master?"

Benjamin has erased his disguise and revealed himself for what he is. Several servants sat up from the ground and stared at him for a long time. Eventually, Jeremy recognized him and shrank in fright.

Benjamin smiled and nodded.

The other servants were also taken aback, looking at each other with hesitant expressions.

"Yes, which young master is it?"

Benjamin walked up to them, crouched down and comforted, "It's me, Benjamin, the young master who was almost burned to death in the square. Now it's Grant who is the Pope, and it's him who is involved with men, not me. I don't know if you know the inside story, but ...... You're safe. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, stunned in place, and speechless for a long time.

Jeremy stared at Benjamin's face even more blankly, and when he came back to his senses, he looked left and right, and only after a while did he show a look of surprise.

"Strange, strange......" his whole body trembled, "I, after I said that thing, the young master never gave me a good look again, nor did he talk to me, it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ......"

As he spoke, he wiped his tears and couldn't go on, which made Benjamin very embarrassed.

None of these people even realized that Grant and his identity were reversed?

"Don't cry, I'm fine, you guys survived. Benjamin shook his head, shoved Jeremy's shoulder, and comforted him in embarrassment.

Probably because of the strong feelings of the rest of his life, the other servants not only did not help him clean up the scene, but hugged and cried with Jeremy. Seeing this, Benjamin could only stand up and shook his head helplessly.

“...... Young master, sir, he's dead...... Everybody's dead......"

Benjamin sighed.

Well, it's not just the aftermath of the catastrophe, the Rieser family died a tragic and sudden death, they didn't have time to grieve before they were arrested in prison and then poisoned. Now, they are finally in a safe environment, and they really need to vent their emotions.

In fact, thinking of what happened to Claude, Benjamin's heart became heavy again at the moment.

- The servants have said so, and his death is true.

Despite all the mental preparation along the way, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath. Claude may not be a good father, he is domineering, stubborn, and unwilling to listen to others. But in any case, he really wants his two sons to be well.

He always felt that Claude deserved a better ending.

Benjamin waited aside, waiting for the servants to recover from their grief, and he himself collected some heavy heart. He wanted to find out why the Reese family had been destroyed, which was why he had traveled all the way here.

"Do you know who is behind it?"

He asked, looking at the servants.

When the servants heard this, they looked at him with some hesitation.

"Master Benjamin...... Did you really become a mage?"

Benjamin nodded and said, "I'll tell you about these things later." Now you just have to tell me, what exactly did Duke Claude die?"

When the servants heard this, they looked at each other for a while, as if they knew the situation. But for some reason, their expressions were extremely hesitant, and some did not dare to speak.

Like Jeremy, he seemed to think of something, and his whole body was trembling with fright, obviously unable to answer the question.

"It's safe here, you can do whatever you want. Benjamin had no choice but to continue to comfort, "I got you out of prison, you almost died in it, what else is there to worry about?"

In the end, the cook, who was almost fifty years old, closed her eyes and couldn't bear to say, "Yes...... It's His Majesty the Pope. ”

"Pope, you mean Grant?"

“...... Yes. The cook nodded, and said in a mournful voice, "That night, His Majesty the Pope, for some reason, came back to the house and was still talking to the master in the study. He hadn't been back for a long time and we were all surprised. But unexpectedly, they talked and talked...... And there was a conflict. ”

Benjamin's face sank.

"Grant and Claude clashed?"

"Yes, the roar of the master came from the study, and everyone was startled. Immediately after that, there were some strange noises in the study, and when we were all wondering whether to go in and play a round, all of a sudden, the whole room fell silent. ”

“...... And then what?"

Then His Majesty the Pope came out of it. He...... He looked so agitated and flushed that he called all of us to the hall, and as a result, he locked the door behind him and locked us all to the ground. When we thought something might be wrong, groups of paladins came over......"

In this way, after listening to the whole story, Benjamin was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up and shook his head.

"Young Master?"

Jeremy looked at Benjamin's appearance, suddenly felt fear, and asked hesitantly.

“...... It's okay. Benjamin turned around and shook his head, "I just didn't expect it to be Grant who did this." He...... actually killed his father. ”

What's going on?

With a long sigh, Benjamin took six people and began to fly towards the border. Either way, he had to settle the six of them first, and the Kingdom of Horry was clearly no longer a place for them.

Flying in the air, Benjamin tried his best to make the servants understand why the mage was not a demon, and the servants relayed to him little by little the changes that had taken place in the Thor family.

It turned out that in the process of Grant inheriting his identity, the whole person became silent and barely had contact with anyone. Therefore, even Jeremy can only meet at meal time, and does not recognize that he is no longer the real "Benjamin".

And the atmosphere of the whole family also plummeted. Claude drove his wife directly to the country, never to see him again, and the old lady disappeared again, leaving two people, and every family meal was like a silent torment. Gradually, Grant stopped living in the Reeser family.

After that, the church made up an excuse that "Grant" had turned his back on God's blessing, and this blessing was transferred to "Benjamin", who had been a waste of firewood, and suddenly showed an amazing talent for magic. So, Grant, as "Benjamin", once again rightfully entered the church.

Although the servants thought it was a little strange, how could they dare to doubt the words of the church?

In this way, as time went on, Grant became more and more estranged from the Rieser family. The servant also said that Grant would sometimes come back to eat together, but each time there was either no communication or an argument over some inexplicable matter. In short, the Reeser family is like walking into a swamp, and there is no longer a trace of life.

Can...... Even so, Why did Grant kill?

Benjamin never understood.

Therefore, the idea that maybe we could cooperate in the past was completely extinguished at this moment.

He didn't want to use words like fate to describe it, but he knew that there was bound to be a battle between him and Grant, whether it was for personal emotion or for the thousands of mages standing behind him. This may not be their fate, but it has become the ultimate choice of this era.
