Benjamin was a little surprised.

"You...... Lifted that curse?"

Looking at Miles' current appearance, he seems to be quite energetic, and he is not as depressed and depressed as he was in the Kingdom of Horry. So, Benjamin subconsciously asked.

Hearing this, Miles snorted and shook his head: "Don't mention it." ”

...... All right.

Benjamin had no choice but to swallow the doubts in his heart and change the subject: "Why are you here all of a sudden?

"No...... I got a message from the Kingdom of Horry that should be of interest to you. Miles rolled over, jumped in from the balcony, and said, "The church has just ended a civil strife, and some nobles have had their homes raided, and even many priests have died because of it. Now everyone in the Kingdom of Hori is in danger. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't expect that not long after his intelligence agent entered the Horry Kingdom, Miles brought what he wanted. Shouldn't I ask Miles to train the people in the Academy's dark department?

"How much do you know? Tell me about it. ”

Myers replied: "The church was temporarily divided into two factions. The faction, led by Grant Reese, had offended the wrath of God by spreading the news that the Pope was dead and that the bishop of St. Peter's Basilica was hiding the news for his own selfish purposes. So they killed that bishop and then wanted to elect Grant as the new pope. ”

Groove ...... So fast?

Benjamin gasped.

He knew that there was a power struggle within the church, and he knew that Grant was on the cues of ascending to power. But what he never expected was that Grant's movements would be so fast.

You know, that guy is a year younger than Benjamin!

If you wait a few more years, with Grant's status, it is natural to ascend to the position of pope. Therefore, such a civil strife certainly seemed to Benjamin not just to be pope, but ...... There must be other untold contradictions.

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.

He still remembered what Grant was like. It's really hard to imagine that that innocent teenager, who is keen on simulated war games, can kill the teacher who taught him without hesitation, and set off a bloody storm within the church.

“...... Did he succeed?" asked Benjamin, coming back to his senses.

Miles nodded.

After about half a month of civil strife, the power of the church has been basically absorbed by him. He was originally the only candidate for the next pope, and now that the news of the pope's death has leaked out, the other bishops, no matter how reluctant they are, can only support his coronation. ”

"So...... He's pope now?"

"Not really. I don't know the details, but they probably need some time to prepare. Judging by some of the information I overheard, they will have a coronation ceremony next month. ”

Coronation next month......

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he had a very strange feeling in his heart

This is...... Fate?

He didn't actually believe in it. The legend that happened thousands of years ago repeats itself today...... It's as if God has arranged everything. Moreover, becoming a "God's chosen one" sounds a bit narcissistic, like a plot that can only be found in twentieth-century TV dramas.

However, when events follow the vein and the wheels come to their intended positions, Benjamin has to admit that all of them are too similar.

Grant is about to become pope, and he is at the pinnacle of mages. Everything was just as the legend goes, and the two went to the opposite position between magic and magic. Only this time, Benjamin is determined to put an end to this antagonism.

Will history repeat itself?

Benjamin felt heavy, as if some kind of will had orchestrated everything, and they were just pawns on someone else's chessboard.

But...... In any case, their situation is not the same as that of the legendary Abel Cain. Legend has it that the two were brothers in blood and soul, and now, on a spiritual level, Grant is not Benjamin's own brother.

His brief time with Grant at the Reeser family did not foster much affection. Therefore, even if it eventually comes to the point of fratricide, it will not be bloody for him.

“...... Can you deliver a letter for me?" said Benjamin suddenly.

"What letter?"

"Think of it as ...... "Letter from the family?" said Benjamin, shrugging his shoulders, "since Grant is about to become pope, perhaps, it will be a good thing for us." ”

Although the church and the mage have been enemies for generations, there is still a relationship between Grant and him. Write a letter to the past, try to get in touch, maybe things will turn around.

Reconciliation is certainly difficult, but ...... It doesn't hurt to try.

"You want me to deliver a letter to the cathedral?" Miles looked surprised.

Benjamin nodded, and asked, "Is it so hard to send a letter?" ”

"That's because they weren't prepared at the time. Miles immediately shook his head in refusal, "I'm not sure, but they should have some sort of anti-infiltration magic item." You must just want to get the letter to Grant, right?, but as soon as I sneak in, I'm sure many priests will be alarmed, and the letter will be made public. ”

Benjamin thought for a moment, and then said, "Then you help me send it to the Reese family, and they should pass the letter to Grant." ”

"This ......"

"It's not for you to work in vain, I'll give you money. ”

"Okay. ”

And just like that, the short conversation ended. It was almost time for Benjamin to go back to the meeting, and Miles jumped out of the balcony fence and quickly disappeared into the night.

As the council continued to communicate, the president went on and on, but Benjamin lowered his head, took out his paper and pen and began to consider what to write. This letter even had the potential to completely change the situation between several countries, and he naturally had to think about it carefully.

In fact, when he picked up the pen, he realized that he really knew very little about Grant.

Why did Grant cause civil strife at this time, what did he think of the mage, was his faith strong, and how strong was he?

Benjamin felt like he was writing a letter to a stranger.

The feeling of not being able to put pen to paper really made him hesitate. However, for the sake of the mage's future, he also took the plunge and wrote some kind words in the letter, and then wrote his thoughts on magic and magic.

- Magic and magic are the same thing.

Finally, he took another look at the situation of the Rieser family, and with a friendly signal, he ended the letter. He didn't expect a single letter to evoke Grant's brotherhood or anything like that, but at the very least, it would make Grant understand that they didn't have to be enemies.

After the meeting, the mages left the council's mansion in Regina. Benjamin also handed the letter to Miles, and then returned to the academy with his mage. The opening ceremony of the new semester is about to start again, and he has to go back and prepare.

However, while preparing, he also ran to the Potions Department, ready to help Miles ask if there was any possibility that the constitution could be lifted. Miles may not accept this kind of help, but ...... Whatever?

"Senior, have you heard of the Abyss Trial?"
