Chapter 225: Bribing Soldiers

In this way, from the old man's mouth, Benjamin felt that he had taken a lesson in "how nonsense can legends be". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Among those rumors, Miles is extraordinary and good at disguise, which is still consistent with Benjamin's impression. Therefore, there is no description of his true appearance in the rumors. Most people think that he is forty years old, some say that he is sixty or seventy years old, and some even think that he is actually a woman.

When he heard this, Benjamin began to feel a little.

Among those rumors, Miles has only become famous in recent years. He made his fortune in Carrets and became famous in Fredon. As for his origins, everyone said that he was an outsider, who traveled through the desert of Rus' to the east of the two countries, and came from a mysterious country further east that no one knew about.

As for the process of his fame, after becoming a mercenary, he completed countless "impossible" tasks. Dig deep into the Dead Forest to gather materials, assassinate a very famous and powerful mage, and escort secret letters across the borders of several countries...... The tasks of the Mercenary Association are all kept secret, but there are still a lot of news circulating, I don't know if it's true or not, but when these messages all point to the same person, people will naturally turn their attention to people.

And in the process, what slaughters the dragon, in fact, is actually the real master of the Mercenary Society, not a human but another creature...... These very nonsense rumors also came out, and Benjamin was a little helpless to hear it.

It's not that he hasn't seen him before, how can he say it so powerful?

With the magical Demon Immunity physique and amazing skills, it is definitely a breeze to ask that guy to assassinate a few mages. But other rumors that are a bit of a conspiracy theory must be blind rhythm.

In fact, judging from what the old man said, Miles is very famous in the mercenary world, but there is very little credible information. No one mentioned that he was magically immune, or which side he might belong to. The only unanimous news is that Miles never drinks potions.

Hearing this, Benjamin was still a little surprised.

Is this guy really a mutant?

Without the blessing of external forces, it is difficult to imagine that an ordinary human can have that level of physical ability. However, when he thought about it, he had that strange ability to fight against magic, and Benjamin didn't think it was strange for a moment.

In short, Benjamin can only try to think on the bright side, hoping that there is no bigger conspiracy behind this.

After learning about Miles's information, finally, he talked to the "Silver Fox" boss about the task of finding someone. The situation had changed, so he still spoke, asking the old man to go to the Mage's Guild to inquire about the news and see if Augustine had really been taken away by them.

The old man didn't seem to be able to cope with the Mage's Guild either, but in the end, he nodded in agreement, saying that he would do his best.

"By the way......" Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to think of something, and before the old man left, he asked again, "How is your son's injury now, is there anything I can help with?"

Hearing this, the old man turned around, smiled, and said, "At last month's funeral, do you want to go and sweep the tomb?"

“...... Condolences. ”

The old man did not look sad, but smiled casually: "That's all, is there anything else? I'll come back to you again when there's news. ”

Benjamin shook his head and replied, "That's all, I'm sorry for you." ”

"When you collect money, you always have to work. The old man waved his hand and left.

Seeing this, Benjamin sighed and left the place as well, returning to his room. He saw that the time was about the same, meditated for a while, washed up, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

For the next few days, Benjamin and his party hid in the hotel, closed doors, patiently waiting for the situation in Regina to change. There were no fewer soldiers interrogating in the streets, but some rumors of the incident in the square that day slowly spread out.

The streets and alleys are saying that on that day, in the square, a beggar-like person descended from the sky and killed all the rebel soldiers around the square. Then, the man led everyone in the square and heroically rescued all the mages who were in prison. However, when Her Majesty wanted to award him the medal, the man disappeared into the crowd and did not know where he had gone.

The people of Regina called that man "the one who came from heaven".

In the corridor of the hotel, when he heard this rumor, Benjamin also had a feeling of crying and laughing.

Descend from the sky and rescue the mage...... These people are really rich in imagination, blowing a rabble into a heroic revolutionary army, and attributing all the credit to the queen. But also, the people who formed that team were all people, and after the people scattered and went home, they naturally had to blow themselves a little harder, and by the way, they would blow Benjamin.

Besides, the name "Skyfaller" sounds a little better than "Water Balloon Demon". After all, he was still wearing beggar's clothes at the time, and others didn't call him Jigong, so thank God.

Therefore, although there seems to be nothing to be proud of, Benjamin still has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Of course, when rumors are spread, he will be a little more vigilant when he is secretly proud. The rumors must have reached the Queen's ears, and now she is just busy chasing the undercover agent, but after this busy period, the Queen will definitely pursue this matter. At that time, Benjamin was flying in the air, and many people had seen his appearance, and he did not dare to guarantee that he would not be recognized.

You'd better be careful.

It is also because of this that the mages have not even dared to hold a small meeting these days, for fear of revealing anything. The dual-cultivation meditation method that I had studied before could not be used because it would emit magic fluctuations, so I had to meditate separately, restrain my movements, and wait patiently at the inn.

Benjamin is also waiting. He's waiting for news from the Silver Fox boss, or if Miles finds Augustin and prepares to trade with him. In short, he will not take the initiative again for the time being.

It's just that he didn't wait for news, but he waited for an unexpected visitor.

Knock knock!

Four days later, in the afternoon, a sharp knock on the door interrupted Benjamin's meditation. He opened his eyes, showed a somewhat puzzled expression, hesitated for a while, did not open the door, but asked first:

"Who?"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and a voice came: "We are ordered by Her Majesty the Queen to search for any undercover agents from enemy countries here." Please open the door, as long as there is no problem, we will not embarrass you. ”

...... Oh?

Benjamin couldn't help but be a little lucky. Fortunately, when he went out to eat just now, he disguised himself a little, otherwise, he would have been worried about whether he would be recognized when he went to see the soldiers here in his original appearance.

Thinking so, he still stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood three soldiers in thick armor, even wearing helmets, their faces invisible. Suddenly, Benjamin had an extra mind. Still, he greeted them with a smile and didn't show anything out of the ordinary.

"Brother soldier, just look, I have absolutely no problems here!"

Hearing this, the three soldiers also nodded. Two of the soldiers entered the room and began to search around, while the other confronted Benjamin and began some routine cross-examination.

"Where are you from?"

Benjamin replied naturally, "I am a merchant from the Kingdom of Hori, and I have come here to do business. ”

The origin of the Hori Kingdom is still a little sensitive at the moment, but he is not easy to hide. If a soldier hears a flaw in his accent, he is more likely to be suspicious.

A lie must be true and false, mixed together, so that people will not be able to see through it.

Sure enough, as Benjamin expected, the soldier did not suspect it, and stopped asking a few simple questions. The two soldiers also searched the room, Benjamin had some magic-related things, but this was quite normal for Ikor, and it was unlikely that he was an undercover agent of the church.

He didn't want anyone else to see these things, but he didn't have room with him, so where could he hide?

"Are you still a mage?" the soldier asked, somewhat surprised.

Benjamin shook his head and said, "Goods." I know that the sale of magic books is very strict in Ikor, but I would like to ask a few people to be a little more accommodating. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a few gold coins and put them in the soldier's hand.

Having been disguised as a merchant for so long, he has become quite familiar with the methods of ordinary merchants - this trick works. He also knew Ikor's market, the price of a few gold coins, enough.

Seeing this, the soldier silently put away the gold coins and nodded, as if acquiescing to this.

However, just when Benjamin thought that the three soldiers were about to leave, the soldier who had just put away the gold coins suddenly turned his face and said very seriously: "If you sell magic books, you must confiscate the goods and then pay a fine of one hundred gold coins." Sir, I have to ask you to come with us. ”

“......”

Benjamin looked confused.
