Chapter 511: The Messenger of the Message
It's not that you can't break in, but it's a bit too arrogant. As a result, Benjamin eventually decided to hide in the woods on the side, meditate slowly, and then let the system observe the movements around Glory.
- He didn't believe that there was not even a single person in or out of such a big city.
"Why do you want me to keep an eye on it?" the system was a little dissatisfied.
"Because you're great, come on. β
β......β
After waiting for more than two hours, finally, after the system suddenly alerted him, Benjamin opened his eyes and found a team of people who were about to leave Glori.
I saw that in the night, the soldiers at the head of the city lowered a row of soft ladders. The group of people who were about to leave the city climbed the soft ladder in turn and carefully climbed down from the top of the city.
Benjamin had a "what the hell" look on his face.
...... Is it necessary to just get out of town?
He didn't know what was going on inside Glori, and it was as if the gate couldn't be opened, and the people inside had to use this method if they wanted to find out.
So, after the group left along the road, Benjamin quietly followed.
He scanned it with the water elemental method.
After a glance, he found that at least half of the group were priests, and the other half were probably paladins or something. They carried the documents of the royal envoys with them, and after leaving the city, they separated and hurried in different directions, presumably to carry the news to the various places of Carretus as messengers.
After thinking about it, Benjamin followed behind a short, thin young man who couldn't do magic.
After following for a while, he walked to no man's land, and he cast a spell, and a blister trapped the other party in it. Suddenly, in the remote path at night, the other party was shocked and struggled desperately, but he couldn't get out at all.
"You...... Who are you? You dare to do it to me? I am on behalf of Your Majesty's ......."
Benjamin interrupted him impatiently: "Enough. I have just led the real king to occupy Changhe Town, so don't take the fake king in the palace to talk about it. β
The other party was stunned at the time.
"You...... You're that Master Benjamin?"
Benjamin smiled slightly wickedly when he heard this.
At this moment, the young man seemed to be frightened, and struggled in a panic in the blister: "God...... No, don't kill me, I really don't know anything...... I'm not a member of the church, I've been planted with a cross, everything I hear will be known to Bishop Cameron, don't kill me......"
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned imperceptibly.
...... Listening to the cross?
He didn't expect that after leaving the Hori Kingdom for so long, he would encounter this thing that was used by the church to control the nobility again.
In other words, the church already knows what he is doing at the moment?
It's a bit of a hassle......
Still, despite this, Benjamin was in no hurry to get out of here.
"Since you're not from the church, tell me what happened to Glori, why lockdown the city, and what are you people doing as emissaries?"
"I ...... I can't say, they'll know......"
Benjamin tilted his head and said innocently, "Then I'll have to kill you first." β
As he spoke, an exaggerated ice sword was condensed by him and aimed at the young man in the blister.
The youth seemed to be timid, unfaithful to the church, and untrained in counter-interrogation. Frightened by this, he immediately shouted in a daze.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I ...... I say...... Glori's gates were sealed because of a rebellion in the city. The people inside were making trouble everywhere, and Bishop Cameron could only use force to suppress it, allowing the paladin army to take over Glori, seal the city gates, arrest many people, and hang many people. β
"Rebellion?" Benjamin was a little surprised, "why did there happen?"
"Because...... Because many people are dissatisfied with His Majesty's lack of reaction to Ikor's invasion, and the rumors of that false king. And the main thing is...... His Majesty has not been seen for several days. β
"Why?"
"This ...... I was a messenger who was arrested by Bishop Cameron after the rebellion and forced me to go to a dangerous place to spread the message. I...... I can't help it......"
Hearing this, Benjamin took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
Rebellion...... I didn't expect the situation inside Glory to evolve to this point. It seems that the situation in the church is far from as good as he imagined.
But the stand-in king never appeared, which is indeed a suspicion.
After thinking about it, Benjamin spoke again: "What dangerous place are you going to deliver the message?"
The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "Go...... Go to Ikor at the camp of the garrison in the West, and give ...... A message to Her Majesty the Queen of Ikole. β
When Benjamin heard this, he was shocked.
"Isn't the Queen's attitude always hostile, whether with Carretus or with the Church, why did you go over and send her a message? What do you mean?"
"I ...... I don't know. The young man's expression became more and more desperate, "A few days ago, the Queen's messenger came and sent a message to Bishop Cameron. The Bishop said that he had to think about it, and this afternoon they took me and asked me to send a message to Her Majesty, saying that they had agreed to the Queen's terms, that they would have two months' time to be bounded by the Terra River. β
"What are the Queen's conditions?"
"This ...... I really don't know, I'm only responsible for helping them spread this word...... Youβjust spare me!"
Benjamin shook his head a little irritably.
Two months...... Bounded by the Terra River......
He didn't understand what it meant, but ...... The queen and the church were delivering a message, and the church agreed to the queen's conditions. Whatever the content of the exchange between the two sides was, the news was explosive enough for Benjamin's side.
It was obviously a three-way scuffle, but suddenly found that the other two parties were secretly connected.
What do they want?
Just as Benjamin was frowning and pondering, suddenly, the system popped up and reminded him.
"Hey, be careful, there may be a priest in the distance. β
When Benjamin heard this, he came back to his senses, glanced at the young man in the blister, and knew it in his heart. The church's movements were really fast, and it had only been ten minutes since he caught this man, and the pursuers followed the guidance of the cross.
There's no way, let's withdraw first.
But it's okay, from this person, he asked enough explosive news. And with the identity of the other party, he can't know more secret things.
Therefore, Benjamin raised his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing this, the other party suddenly became uneasy again.
"You...... What the hell do you want to ......?"
Smack.
The blisters burst, and the bewildered young man fell back to the ground before he could finish his words.
"The church people have come to pick you up, so please be blessed. β
Hearing this, the young man looked up in astonishment, only to find that Benjamin had risen into the air and quickly disappeared into the cloudy night sky.
