Chapter 349: Did You Sleep?
After escaping all the way, Benjamin and his party left the border desert city through the path and hid in the vast eastern desert. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The four thieves were quite familiar with the terrain in this area, so they escaped smoothly and did not go the wrong way or be discovered, which made up for the trouble they had provoked.
Benjamin, though, wasn't going to let them go.
"Who are they?" Hiding in the shadow of a boulder, Benjamin looked at the four of them and said coldly, "What the hell have you done, why are you being hunted down by such a large group of mages?"
The four of them looked at each other and replied, "They...... It is the largest mage force in this area of the desert, and it is called 'Shadow of the Desert'. ”
Benjamin frowned, "Why didn't you remind me before?"
"There have always been quite a few small mage organizations in Freden, and there are all kinds of them. The other party replied weakly, "Their range of activities is basically only around Border Desert City. We were meant to say it, but we were all stunned in the sky, and we can't remind you. ”
“...... Is that me?"
"No, don't kill us, I'm sorry, it's all our fault!
“......”
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
However, if it is really as the thieves said, this is just a mage organization entrenched in Border Desert City, and in retrospect, the number of people is only twenty or thirty, in fact, there is really nothing to be afraid of.
If well prepared, Benjamin will not have a hard time dealing with them.
Thinking of this, he pointed to the masked woman who had fainted on the ground, and then asked, "Why does this guy want to kill you as if he is crazy when he sees you?
But the thieves shook their heads and replied, "No, they are enmity with us." ”
...... Oh?
Benjamin's heart moved.
"Many people have stayed in the desert city for a while before living in seclusion in the desert. The thief continued, "But...... Bian Mocheng is their territory, it has always been quite arrogant, and even the officials don't take care of things. Many mages had enmity with them when they lived here temporarily. And living in the desert, although it is a seclusion, but occasionally I have to go to the city to buy something, and then there are more and more frictions. Especially after the elders gradually gathered the reclusive mages, the smell of gunpowder became even heavier, and there were several conflicts. ”
"Then you ......"
The four of them still had a bitter look on their faces: "These people have a feud with us, and they have hated the elders very much recently, thinking that the elders want to unite the reclusive mages and fight against them." But the desert was so big that they couldn't find the place of the elders, so they had to come against us. Every time we enter Bian Mo City, we have to be careful of disguise, and it will be very troublesome if they find out. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin finally nodded abruptly.
That's what happened.
The so-called seclusion, in fact, is still inevitable from worldliness and friction. Even in a remote area like the Eastern Desert, as long as there are people, there must be endless battles, and no matter how high the hermit is, it is difficult to get rid of it.
If someone really thinks that this place can live in seclusion and come to retire, how miserable would it be?
Thinking so, he turned his gaze to the unconscious masked woman again.
"Do you know her?"
The thieves nodded.
"She seems to have some kinship with the leader of the gang, and her status is quite high. One said indignantly, "It was she who threatened to arrest the elders." ”
When Benjamin heard this, he was quite happy: "Then if I kill her, will it be considered a favor to your elders." ”
The man was a little stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This ...... I think that according to the character of the elders, they should not eat this set. Whether she was dead or alive, the elders didn't care much. ”
“...... All right. Benjamin was slightly disappointed.
He originally thought that this would be a little bargaining chip for himself, and he could exchange some design drawings from the elders or something. Now it seems that the masked woman really didn't really do much to him.
Let's get rid of it quickly.
Besides, after holding it for so long, the masked woman's head should have been a mess, and it would be difficult to save the treatment of the water balloon. In doing so, he can be regarded as helping others alleviate their suffering, and it is a merit.
In this way, with a slight slash of the ice blade, the masked woman's neck crooked, and she completely lost her breath.
Experienced, after killing people, Benjamin did not forget to examine the corpse.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, in addition to a few bottles of mana amplification potions, he also found a strange bracelet in the masked woman's pocket.
The bracelet is silver, cold to the touch, and appears to be made of some unknown metal, with an eerie sheen all around. Benjamin took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he could feel a faint wave of magic coming from it.
"It's ...... Magic items?"
Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
The bracelet felt a little strange to him, not like an ordinary magic prop, and the magic fluctuations also had a strange primitive. This feeling is not quite the same as the illusion mirror, if anything, the magic fluctuations contained in the bracelet seem to be much older.
Could it be ...... What are the ancient relics?
Benjamin tried to pour mental power into the bracelet, but nothing happened like throwing women's clothes into the group.
Strange.
How do you use this thing?
"Do you know what this is?" he studied for a while, but to no avail, he showed the bracelet to the four thieves.
Unfortunately, the four thieves also shook their heads.
"Maybe the elder knows, he's very good at this. One person suggested.
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't think of a better way, so he put the bracelet away and said, "Okay, dispose of the corpse, and take me to your elders immediately." ”
Not to mention anything else, this is the biggest purpose of his trip!
The four of them also nodded busily, eager to go back quickly.
In this way, after burying the masked woman, Benjamin followed the four thieves and gradually went deep into this desert with no end in sight. They overcame obstacles along the way, solved the attacks of five or six waves of demonic beasts before and after, and finally, arrived at their destination after an hour.
- The elder's dwelling in the desert.
Like an oasis in the desert, a humble but spacious house stands quietly behind a mess of rocks. It seems that there is a strange force guarding the place, and the flying yellow sand cannot touch a single cent of it. There are even a few large green trees that grow there peacefully and vibrantly.
Seeing this, Benjamin was thoughtful.
This should also be a credit to the magic items.
Being able to produce something of this level, he was looking forward to this elder more and more.
"Master Mage, this is it. One of the thieves came with him and spoke.
Benjamin nodded, stepping away, ready to knock on the door.
"Master Mage, wait......" the thief hurriedly stopped him, weakly reminding, "The elder has a strange temper at times. It's only one o'clock in the afternoon and he probably hasn't gotten up yet, so we'd better not disturb him. ”
Benjamin was speechless.
“...... So I'm going to wait until he gets up?"
Why does this plot feel a little familiar?
If it is really a very talented person, it is not a big deal for him to wait a little longer and let the other party join his team like a three-way house. But being able to live in seclusion in this place, coupled with the various descriptions of the four people, Benjamin subconsciously felt that this person was definitely more difficult than Zhuge Liang.
Even if you wait, people probably won't appreciate it.
After hesitating for a while, Benjamin simply let go of the water elemental perception method, and prepared to use this method to explore the inside and satisfy his curiosity.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the house, interrupting his voyeuristic move.
"Nothing to look at. Since you're here, come in. ”
Benjamin was stunned.
...... Discovered?
Beside him, the four thieves were very happy, and hurriedly ran over, and said as they ran, "Elder, we are back." You woke up so early today!"
There was a moment of silence, and the voice in the room came out again.
"No, I haven't slept yet. ”
