Chapter 396: Hail Falls from the Sky
Benjamin couldn't put an eye on the city of Xuedi, so he couldn't know what was going on in the palace, so he had to send some people to go over and investigate carefully. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, the next morning, the investigators set out on the front foot, and the news of Shelly City came back on the back foot.
"My lord, last night...... It was as if the palace had almost been buried. ”
Benjamin was stunned.
"What's going on? ”
The other party replied, "Just last night, the sky in Xuedi City changed dramatically. It was a very dry day, but suddenly a large cloud appeared above the palace. Immediately after that, hail began to fall in the sky. ”
...... Hail?
Benjamin was dumbfounded.
It's still autumn, and normally there will be no hail. Combined with last night's experience, he inevitably linked hail to his ice-breaking skills.
Could it be that you made it yourself?
"And after that?" he asked, after a moment's thought.
"Actually, nothing major happened, and when the hail began to fall in the sky, everyone had already taken refuge indoors, and no one was hurt. However, the hail was extremely large, and it was strangely concentrated in the palace, and there was nothing to do across the street. So in the end, the ice near the palace was piled up half a meter high. After that, the people in the palace were blocked inside, and they couldn't get out, and they cleaned up all night, and now they can barely get in and out. ”
“...... Terrible. ”
Benjamin was dumbfounded, and finally could only hold back this sentence.
To be honest, after hearing this suspicion, he began to suspect that he didn't do it himself. He knew the power of ice crushing, and although he could summon a large block of ice, he set off a hailstorm and almost buried the palace...... He didn't think he could do it.
"That'...... Is there an explanation from the palace, or is there any rumor about how the hailstones came about?" he asked again.
"The people in the palace were still busy clearing the ice and didn't have time to explain. However, there are some rumors that a huge amount of elemental movement occurred near the palace just before the hailstorm appeared, so some people think it is related to the mage. But I heard that because there are no magic fluctuations, some people think that this is some kind of elemental disaster...... Anyway, there is nothing to say now, and there is no conclusion. ”
Benjamin took a deep breath.
Elemental Anomaly ...... No mana fluctuations......
How do you sound like you still can't get rid of yourself?
Thinking back to last night's experience, he swung his fist in the pure blue world, only to touch the bishop with a gust of wind. And when he cast a spell in the pure blue world, it is likely that it caused an anomaly similar to the Elemental Scourge in that area.
It's kind of amazing......
He felt that the pure blue world was like a mirror. Some things pass through it, weakened to the point of not being visible, and some things pass through it, but are magnified without limit.
At that moment, Benjamin wanted to go back to the consciousness space, pull the system to break it into three, and then enter the pure blue world again, and experiment with how this strange amplification effect occurs - from the current situation, this thing is a little difficult to control, but if it can really be effectively controlled, it is simply a nuclear-level killer move!
It's a pity that even if he can tear the system into a few pieces, it doesn't seem to be a split of it, and there is no way to enter the pure blue world.
Therefore, even if Benjamin's mood at the moment is curious, there is no way to practice.
However, he was not too disappointed. There will always be a split, but it is only a matter of time before it is divided. And the ice crushing technique he used, although it didn't do anything to the bishop, at least it caused a great deal of trouble to the church.
And...... Hail from the sky is not necessarily a point that can be exploited.
"Pass on the order, we have a new plan. Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't the church very fond of talking about God's will? ”
In this way, a new round of rumor tasks was issued.
While the church was still plagued by hail and had no time to make an announcement, Benjamin hurriedly issued an order for the mages to once again infiltrate taverns around the country and spread rumors that the hail vision happened because the church was a fake!
The royal family's trust in the false church caused the wrath of God, so hail was rained as a warning. If we don't kick out the church, God will bring more disasters and even make Fredon miserable!
This kind of rumor spreads, although the church can clarify something, but among the general public, it can still have a great influence. The general public may not care much about the struggle between the mage and the church, but if it comes to this, maybe someone will be brainwashed and really believe in this article, and they will also come to oppose the church along with this.
In short, what Benjamin wanted was to make the church's reputation in Freden worse and worse.
So, the order was given, and the mages sprang into action quickly, and began to quietly spread rumors throughout Freden. However, the church's response has not been slow. After the hail was cleared, they issued an announcement announcing that it was a terrorist attack by a mage, in which they blamed the evil nature of magic.
Although they did not point out which mage did it, nor did they say what they wanted, but between the words, there was already a deep hostility.
At the moment of seeing the announcement, Benjamin also realized that the conflict between the church and the mage had been further intensified.
Gradually, Freden seemed to enter the calm before the storm. Beneath the flats, there is an undercurrent. All sorts of rhetoric are circulating in the country, and people don't even know what to believe.
The only thing they knew was that the church and the mages might be about to fight.
The church doesn't do anything other than clean up the newspapers and clarify the dazzle, but everyone knows that they certainly won't do nothing. From serial assassinations to newspapers and hail, the mage's side was silent for the time being, and there was no new movement.
And in the midst of such a solemn calm, Benjamin finally met with the official rebels represented by the prime minister in a small town.
"This ...... It's the famous Venerable Benjamin, isn't it? I am very touched by the actions of Your Excellency to be able to fight for Freden at such a moment. ”
A smiling old man walked up, shook Benjamin's hand, and spoke unhurriedly.
"This is Prime Minister Pace, right? I admire your spirit to take the risk and make your own contribution to the rebellion against the Church. Benjamin smiled. He knows the origin of the other party, and this kind of mutual sycophancy procedure is difficult to avoid.
"No, we are just going with the flow, and we are still heroes of a great era like Your Excellency, which is even more admirable. ”
The Prime Minister said this, and Mikel followed behind the Prime Minister, nodding repeatedly at Benjamin.
"Prime Minister, since you're here, I won't say much about that. Seeing this, Benjamin quickly cut off this endless touting and said, "I heard that you have now gathered a group of people among the officials who want to rebel against the church?"
The Prime Minister nodded: "Yes." ”
Benjamin heard this, and continued: "So...... What are you going to do to get the church out of Freden?"
