"You seem to have been talking for a long time, doesn't the old lady plan to stay?" said Elizabeth, who walked in, glanced around the room, and asked casually.

"She hates the Academy of Magic so much, of course she doesn't want to stay here. Benjamin looked helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "Okay, the matter of the Mage Inheritance Society is over, it's time to talk about the affairs of the Hori Kingdom." You must have made a special trip to visit the academy not just to show me the way, right?"

"Of course. ”

Elizabeth nodded. Then, she took a map out of her pocket, placed it on the table, and slowly spread it out. Benjamin looked over suspiciously, only to see that the building on it seemed familiar.

"It's ......"

"The complete interior structure of St. Peter's Basilica. Elizabeth said slowly, "Maybe you have other channels and think this thing is not unusual, but for the nobles in the country, it takes a lot of effort to get hold of this thing." ”

A little surprise flashed in Benjamin's eyes.

St. Peter's Basilica......

It was the church's lair, and although he had spied on it once before with the omniscient perspective of the elemental plane, he hadn't thought about what he was going to do. But now the Wood family threw the map in his face, which was quite interesting.

What the hell is going on over there in the Kingdom of Hori?

After glancing at the map a few more times, suddenly, he pointed to one of the rooms with a red cross on it, frowned and asked, "What does this cross mean?"

Elizabeth said: "That's where the church used to put the king under house arrest. ”

Benjamin was slightly stunned.

A conjecture that seemed to him to be even a little ridiculous suddenly flooded into his mind.

"You ...... Isn't it going to infiltrate St. Peter's Basilica and rescue the king who has been cast by telekinesis?"

"This is the wish of the vast majority of nobles in the country at this moment. Elizabeth lowered her head, looked at the map and said, "You should also know that since the overseas cult attacked the royal capital, the church has declared to the public that His Majesty has fallen into evil magic and must recuperate, and everything will be handled by Her Royal Highness the Queen on her behalf." And just in the last few days, the knights of our family have stumbled upon the fact that the Church is quietly searching for commoners who resemble the king. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin snorted unexpectedly and said, "The church wants to get a stand-in?"

"That's it. Elizabeth nodded, and continued, "The news has spread among the aristocratic circles, and no one can accept this practice of the church, and even within the church, there are signs of discord again. ”

"Then it is impossible to rush into St. Peter's Basilica and rescue the king, right?" said Benjamin, helplessly.

In Haven Lite alone, there is a huge barrier of holy light, not to mention the inside of the church. What has been discovered before is that there are traces of holy light hidden everywhere inside, and since ancient times, there has been no good end for those who infiltrate it, and only Miles can escape with his whole body.

As for Miles now, Benjamin certainly can't count on him to help.

Not to mention Grant, who sits in it.

At this moment, with the help of the water elemental elves, Benjamin was confident that he could fight Grant head-on, and even suppress him, but he was not arrogant enough to think that they could rush to each other's home.

These nobles...... What are you thinking?

"Maybe it was really hard to do that before. "But just a week ago, the Pope suddenly announced that he was going to retreat to the Divine Will, and he never appeared again, leaving the affairs of the Church to a few bishops for the time being." The family found out that he seemed to have gone to the depths of the Warcraft Mountain Range to the west alone. ”

"Monster Mountains, what is he going to do there?"

"Nobody knows. Elizabeth shook her head, "But ...... At least he shouldn't be there for a month, that's our only chance. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

He felt the whole thing was weird.

It's not that he doesn't trust the Wood family and Elizabeth, after all, they have worked together once before, and they have given accurate information about the church's expedition to overseas sects. It's just that, thinking of what happened to the Fur family, he really doesn't think that these nobles have the ability to directly oppose the church.

They want to break into St. Peter's Basilica to save the king, which is no different from tearing his face head-on, right?

Moreover, why did Grant leave the royal capital and suddenly run to the Demon Beast Mountain Range alone? Except for the ruins of the Silent Academy, there should be nothing in it.

Benjamin suddenly smelled something wasn't quite right.

It's ...... Either there's a secret, or there's a conspiracy.

"What's in the Monster Mountain Range, you should be familiar with that area, right?" he asked suddenly.

"I ...... My teacher once said that if you look through the Monster Mountains and go deeper, there is a vast valley plain, where magic was first born. Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Many years ago, he said that humans migrated from there, but these are just legends, and no one knows whether they are true or false. ”

"So...... Do you think Grant is on his way to find the secret of the origin?"

"I didn't say that. Elizabeth immediately shook her head and said, "I understand what you are suspicious of, but after the successive failures of the expedition to Ikor and the overseas cults, the church no longer has the strength to deal with the nobles at home. The story of the Fur family is unlikely to be repeated, and the church needs the support of the nobles, even if it is a false support, they must take advantage of it to stabilize the situation. ”

Benjamin frowned, "You really don't think it's a trap for the church?"

"They don't have the capital to do that. The prestige of the church is much less than before, and continuing to clean up the interior will only bring down the kingdom of Hori, and the church will collapse with it. ”

“...... All right. ”

Benjamin couldn't find any loopholes for a while, and in the end, he nodded.

In fact, after careful consideration, he found that it would not be without benefit to the church if it continued to fight among them. Even if it was a trap, Grant didn't really leave the royal capital, turned around and came back and killed all the people who opposed him, but ...... And then what?

Most of the power he can mobilize will also be killed by himself.

At this point, Benjamin believed that the nobles were already determined to break the boat. They may not have an army in their hands, but they have money, land, and prestige among the people. If the church did not want a mass exodus of merchants, skyrocketing prices, widespread famine, and misery of the people, they could not do anything to the remaining nobles.

"Give me the map, I need to plan this. Finally, Benjamin picked up the map on his desk and said.

Elizabeth nodded as well.

"I'll wait in the town of Akademi, and when you decide, you may need to make a trip to the kingdom of Hori. My father wants to see you. With that, she opened the door and walked out.
