Chapter 201: No one is missing
When he saw this sentence, countless thoughts flashed through Benjamin's mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
To be honest, the story of becoming the lady of the village first, and then becoming the leader of the robbers for some reason, sounds a little bizarre, and Benjamin can't help but think in the direction of conspiracy theories - at such a good time, leading the robbers to "meet" with Benjamin and his party, this lady was not prepared in advance, and Benjamin did not believe it.
But what is her purpose?
Benjamin couldn't figure it out anyway. Could it be ...... What personal entangled did Augustine have with her, so she took him captive?
But now it's useless to think about it.
Benjamin could only bow his head, look at the letter in his hand, and fall into deep thought. In the dim light, this crumpled draft of letterhead, which had been altered countless times, had become his only clue at the moment.
There was no doubt that he had to get Augustine back. These people trusted him, they believed that Benjamin could guide them to a bright future, and Benjamin did not want to live up to their trust. He left the kingdom of Horry with this group of mages, but without these mages, he would also be stuck in Kru Town, unable to move.
He couldn't let them have an accident, not even just one.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
I don't know why, at this moment, he suddenly thought of a movie he watched when he was a child, "No One is Missing". He felt as if he was the teacher, and he had only known these people for a month or two, and he had inexplicably become their leader, but his heart suddenly became strong.
- He's going to take these half-mages out of Ikor and give them a place where they can live freely.
It's not that he's noble and great, it's just that he feels responsible.
"It is said that human beings are creatures that are easily moved by themselves, and today can be regarded as an insight. The system popped up uninterestingly, and said in a slightly mocking tone.
"If you can't even move yourself, what courage do you have to continue to do it? Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied inwardly.
ā...... Whatever you want. The system said casually.
Benjamin didn't pay any more attention to the system, but pinched the piece of paper, closed his eyes and thought about it. Soon, he had the next decision.
"Deal with these bandits, and then continue on the road, continuing along the previous route to the place we have agreed upon. He suddenly turned to the mages and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll join you soon." ā
"Mr. Benjamin...... Are you going to find Augustine alone?" Wallis asked, a little hesitant.
Benjamin nodded.
"I'm going too! You can't leave us here. I've learned how to fly, and I'm sure I'm not going to hold back!" Joanna immediately ran out and shouted.
Subsequently, many mages also became excited. Augustine was originally their companion, and they had known each other for much longer than Benjamin, so they certainly couldn't stand by and watch when they disappeared, one by two yelling that they must follow to find Augustin back.
Although Benjamin was very moved, he also felt a little headache.
Judging from the contents of the letter, it is very likely that this lady took Augustine to the capital city of Regina. Besides, even if she hadn't went, Benjamin would have to go to the man named "Cinderney" to see if there were any clues. Therefore, this place in Regina, he must go.
However, judging from the various behaviors of the church and the Mage Guild, there may be an accident near the capital, so Benjamin still feels that it is more convenient to go alone.
Take a large group of people to go, in case something happens again, so many people, where can he protect it?
"No, you're really going to hold me back. So, he said.
Faced with this situation, he originally wanted to come up with some tragic and sensational words to highlight his lonely heroic spirit. As a result, he found that he didn't seem to be very good at it, and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the meaning changed a little.
It seems like...... A little hurtful to your self-esteem?
At the same time, hearing this, all the mages looked at Benjamin and fell silent.
Just when Benjamin was hesitating to make up some nonsense and comfort everyone, suddenly Leila opened her mouth and said confidently, "Yes, we are too weak. Teacher Benjamin, can you bear to let us go on our own way? What if someone from our side is captured after you leave? If you don't take us to Augustine, we will definitely die in the next wave of monster attacks, in that case, we will not let you go even if we are ghosts!"
ā......ā
Benjamin was shocked by this shameless spirit.
...... What else could he say?
It's that he's overthinking.
After getting along with this group of people for so long, what kind of tendon did he make in his brain that he thought that his words just now hurt their self-esteem? This group of people is completely undefeatable within his own logic.
It's over, and a little self-moving atmosphere has just been brewed, and it's all ruined.
"Do you really have to go?" asked Benjamin, somewhat helplessly.
In the dim moonlight, more than twenty mages showed a smile that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, looked at Benjamin, and nodded in unison like a chicken pecking rice.
Benjamin couldn't help but be amused by this scene.
"That'...... All right. Shaking his head, in the end, Benjamin couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth and said, "Together, let's save Augustine from that lady's hands!"
Suddenly, all the mages let out a burst of cheers.
Seeing this, Benjamin could only silently push away Frank, who jumped over and wanted to hug, and showed a somewhat helpless smile.
Although what Mage Leila said was a bit exaggerated, there was indeed a reason for her. No one can predict what dangers will lie on the next route. If Benjamin left like this, if something unexpected happened, he would definitely not be able to cope with it when he was far away in Regina.
In this case, it is better for everyone to stay together and solve any problems together. No matter how chaotic the capital is, if you want to die, you will die together.
Well...... This kind of mentality is really optimistic!
In this way, the next action was determined, and Benjamin and his party did not hesitate. Augustin and the "lady" had not long since they disappeared, so after dealing with the remaining robbers, they immediately set off, flying and flying, and searched the vicinity to see if they could find each other's traces.
However, after searching around here for a long time, they found nothing. Not to mention people, there is not even a trace of the release of magic. It was as if Augustine had been taken away without any resistance, and the "lady" had left so fast that they could not catch up with them even if they used flying skills.
After searching for most of the night, they were tired, so they could only stop first, set up camp again, rest for the night, and the next day, continue to look in the direction of the capital.
On the second day of changing routes, they inevitably walked onto the main road and encountered other pedestrians. Because of this, they began to deliberately hide their identities and dress up as merchants, led by Wallis, who was originally a merchant, and disguised the materials they harvested from the monster as goods, and continued to move in the northeast direction.
It's a pity that they haven't found any clues, whether it's asking passers-by or chasing magic fluctuations.
In this way, the dragonflies passed by several small villages, and seven days later, they came to a city called Gard. In the city closest to Regina, they finally heard about the "lady".
