"I shouldn't have taken the wrong path, right?"

Benjamin came to a town that looked unusually lively, stopped, and couldn't help but ask the system in his mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, through what Halda had heard, he had learned that the church did not seem to be vigorously pursuing him. So, after spending a few more days in that valley and helping Nina and them look at the potato fields a little longer, Benjamin was ready to leave.

Time is precious, and he doesn't dare to stay too long.

Of course, his mental power has not recovered from the trauma, and he is still prone to danger when he rushes on the road. So, as he was about to leave, Benjamin asked Hal where he could get a gun nearby.

Magic is temporarily unusable, but he still has a one-handed shooting interface.

Hal was pleasantly surprised by his answer. He told Benjamin that there was a small hidden cave at the foot of Mount North, and that the leader of the bandits of Mount Nors had hidden a lot of guns and bullets in it because he was very fond of guns. After the siege of the church, the other robbers died, and those things were left in the cave.

As for Howl, he didn't shoot at all, and he didn't seem very interested in these things, so he told Benjamin the details of the location of the cave.

The location of the valley was not far from North Mountain, and Benjamin probably spent half a day going around the cave. Unexpectedly, he really found several guns and a lot of bullets for him.

Not much, but enough.

Benjamin, who was back in combat, was very grateful. After getting the gun, he went to the forest at the other end of the valley, unfolded the shooting interface, shot several deer, and even killed a bear, and gave it to the three of them as a thank you gift.

The three of them were naturally very happy to receive the gifts. Still, when they knew that Benjamin had decided to leave immediately, they looked sad.

At parting, they even came to the mouth of the valley to see Benjamin off together.

"Are you really leaving?" After a few days of getting along, Sandy gradually became less shy, and said with a flat mouth, "Your marksmanship is so good, if you can stay, everyone will never go hungry." ”

Benjamin smiled, crouched down, and replied, "But I have more important things to accomplish than no longer being hungry." ”

Hearing this, Sandy nodded as if she didn't understand.

She didn't say anything more, but hid behind Nina and secretly wiped her tears.

"Don't be upset, maybe...... Maybe we'll see each other again in the future. Seeing this, Benjamin was a little at a loss, so he could only find a way to comfort him.

Nina touched Sandy's head, turned around, and gave Benjamin a blank look.

"Why are you still grinding and chirping here? If you want to go, hurry up, the wind at the mouth of the valley is very strong, what if we catch a cold again? You are so much older than us, why are you still so ignorant?"

“......”

In this way, Benjamin was driven out of the valley.

He took a deep breath, collected his mood, and began to make his way in the direction of Pearl Lake.

The underground passage from Lake Pearl to the Valley of the Broken Army, Michelle told him the location in detail, and he also made the system remember it. As long as he passes through this passage, he will soon be able to reach the borders of the Kingdom of Hori and flee abroad.

What is abroad, Benjamin is not clear. But what he does know is that the magic in the kingdom is already a barren.

Whether or not the Church has given up on pursuing him, the Church is still the Church, and the Mage is always the Mage. If he stays in the kingdom, he can only hide all day long, like those mages in the Silent Academy. Unless he was strong enough to overthrow the church on his own, there was no point in him staying.

But when it comes to foreign countries, the situation is completely different.

At least, outside of the kingdom of Hori, magic is not forbidden. No matter how powerful the church is, it is difficult to influence the world outside the kingdom. Benjamin will be treated with the respect he deserves as long as he shows himself as a mage.

In fact, if you really want to fight against the church, you can only do it outside the Kingdom. Like in the old world, wasn't the slogan "drive out the Tartars and restore China" also put forward in Honolulu, Hawaii?

Moreover, he still remembers the last words Michelle said to him before he "died": "If you can survive, go to Freden and find a man named Morris." He was my teacher. ”

It's not that he wants to inherit Michelle's legacy, it's just that he is really curious about Michelle's teacher.

can lead a paladin to the path of a mage, can teach a student like Michelle, what kind of person will this Morris be?

Benjamin felt that if he did escape abroad, it would be necessary to meet this man.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can really leave the Kingdom of Hori smoothly. If he encounters any accidents on the road and makes a small mistake, then these plans can only be completely nullified.

Just like now, after about five days of trekking, Benjamin followed the instructions of the system, killed several attacking wolves in the middle, and finally made it to the village near Lake Pearl.

However, looking at the "village" in front of him, Benjamin felt strange.

There are too many people in this village, right?

Houses of different heights, crowds of people coming and going, the streets are full of shouts, and the brick and stone roads are almost crowded. Moreover, looking at the various faces in the crowd, there are many of them who are very rich when they look at them, and they are no longer at the level of "village".

Therefore, he looked at the system and asked the first sentence.

The system replied with great certainty: "This is the optimal route obtained by the collection and integration of thousands of map data, the automatic positioning of artificial intelligence, and the precise calculation of the system program, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes." After this village, it is Lake Pearl. ”

“...... All right. ”

Since the system says so, it must be true.

In fact, this small village called "Pearl" is a relatively prosperous village in the kingdom, with many scenic spots, and the tourism industry has also slightly driven the economic development here. However, the current situation, Benjamin guesses, may also be due to the outbreak of the "plague" in the royal capital.

Many people who escaped from the royal capital have fled here to take refuge, which is why so many people have been killed.

Thinking of this, Benjamin looked up at the sky and frowned.

It's late afternoon, it's getting dark, and if you want to cross the village and continue on your way, there is still a good chance of being attacked by wild beasts. Besides, the little dry food that Nina had given him when he set off had already been exhausted, and when he came here, he actually had no food reserves.

What if there was nothing in the underground passage, just a long road, what would he do? If it was just to drink water, he could still make some crushed ice to quench his thirst with a headache, but he couldn't conjure up something out of thin air.

We'll have to find a way to resupply it.

It is unlikely that he will be recognized, the effect of the herb that Michelle gave him before has not completely faded, and coupled with the bumpy exertion of the road, his hair is like a chicken nest. Benjamin's current appearance, although it is not like the original albinism, is also very different from the original aristocratic young master.

No one should have recognized him—not Benjamin Reese, nor the albinist who had escaped the royal capital.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Benjamin walked into the crowd and walked towards a bakery that didn't seem to have so many people.

His original intention was to use the wolf skins from the wolves he had killed on the road, and ask if he could get some dry bread or something. However, when he was in the store and took out the tattered wolf skins, the clerk quickly showed a disgusted expression.

"You're the worst hunter I've ever seen. ”

In the end, Benjamin exchanged four wolf skins for only half a small piece of dry bread, and was invited out of the bakery. In this way, he stood at the door of the crowded shop, looking at the bread that was not as big as the palm of his hand, and he also felt like crying without tears.

Who would have thought that they would also be stumped by food one day?

Just as he was agonizing about what to do, suddenly, he heard a familiar voice in the crowd.

“...... I want to go back to the royal capital. Didn't you say that the plague was over, and why did my father insist on letting me stay in this hellish place?"

After checking with the system, Benjamin was sure that the voice was Dick Fowl.

He's actually coming over here?

In fact, during the plague incident, it was mainly the commoners who ran out of the royal capital, and the nobles knew a lot of news, so they were basically unmoved. As the great nobles of the royal capital, why did the Fuer family come here to take refuge?

But......

Benjamin seemed to think of something suddenly, lowered his head, and showed a malicious smile.
