Chapter 352: The Truth Behind It
When Benjamin first heard this, his brain didn't react at first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
...... What do you say?
Such outrageous words can be said, is it in a hurry or is it unclear in the brain, thinking that just saying something scary can make Benjamin afraid to back down and give the bracelet away?
"Interesting. Therefore, Benjamin instead showed a sneer, looked at the other party, and exuded a killing intent, "You can tell me, I live well, how can I be a dead person?"
The man in the wheelchair also watched him quietly.
ā...... Forget it, you can get here, maybe it's fate. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and his expression became even more tired, "I don't know where you learned how to make magic items, maybe this ability has already brought you a lot of gains." But soon, you'll get into trouble you can't even imagine, and in the end, you'll even risk your own life. ā
"What do you mean?"
The wheelchair man shook his head and said, "For hundreds of years, the magic props industry has been declining and weakening...... Do you think this is really just a state that slowly evolves in a natural state, without any internal context?"
Benjamin frowned: "You mean ......"
He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"It's all done by the Mage Freemasons. The wheelchair man touched his discarded legs and said slowly, "No...... It should be said that the church instructed them to do this. They have been doing this since a long time ago, when the empire was not divided and the mage Freemasons did not exist. ā
Hearing this, Benjamin was stunned.
ā...... Are you serious?"
"I'm not going to lie to people with such words, at least, to a mage. The wheelchair man let out a few mocking and bitter laughs, and said, "How do you think my legs are broken? Why should I hide in this hellish place for the rest of my life and dare not take a step outside?"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Benjamin, his hands trembling slightly. In his tired and indifferent eyes, there was a deep despair at the moment.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If what this guy says is true......
At that moment, Benjamin didn't even dare to think about it.
"How do you know?" he calmed down a bit, then asked, "If you were hunted down by the Mage Freemasons because of the magic items, it only proves that the mages had a conspiracy." How can you be sure that the church is behind this?"
"Don't you think it's strange that magic items have suddenly declined, and on the side of the church, the so-called magic items have sprung up and are developing at an unimaginable speed. The man in the wheelchair narrowed his eyes and replied, "You ask me why I know? ā
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "The Church has raised me to lurk among mages to collect books and drawings about magic items, and to imprison those who know this technique. I've done countless of these things with my own hands, and of course I know all of them. ā
Groove ......
Benjamin looked stunned.
Having said that, he just didn't believe it anymore, and he had to start seriously considering the possibility of this matter.
In fact, he knew before that the church had spies in all countries, and he also knew that the mage Freemasonry had its own little conspiracy. But from beginning to end, he didn't connect the two things. He always felt that no matter how much the Mage Freemasons tried to do things, they couldn't get together with the church.
But now it seems that he is not pessimistic enough.
Not only that, but I am simply overly optimistic.
Far from the kingdom of Hori, Benjamin thought he was far from the church. Even if there were more problems to face, at least, none of them had anything to do with the church - he didn't have to worry about the behemoth far west destroying everything he had with a wave of his hand.
That is, no matter how powerful the church is, how can it still be able to stretch out its hand in a country? How can a good mage Freemason, with a high status, be controlled by the church?
Now, however, it seems that everything is moving in that impossible direction.
Mage Freemasonry ...... It's really possible to be controlled by the church.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to miss first. Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
"What are you in a hurry, they won't do it so quickly. The wheelchair man stopped him and said, "You're very famous now." With such a swaggering target, they will wait for the limelight to pass, and then use some local forces to make you a lost dog first, and then take your life, leaving you to rot alone in an unnoticed corner. ā
Hearing this, Benjamin stopped and turned his head.
"Hasn't anyone ever survived?"
The wheelchair man shook his head and said, "Except for me, all the mages they targeted are dead. You can also look at what I look like now, is there any difference between death and death?"
Benjamin took a deep breath.
The other party is right, he can't be in a hurry, it's over in a hurry. After the initial shock, it was time for him to calm down and think about the immediate countermeasures.
Behind the mage Freemasonry is the church, and it won't be long before they start doing things to Benjamin. In the current situation, although the wind and waves in Riley City are calm and he is developing well, all this seems to be just an illusion.
"When do they usually do it to me?" he asked again.
"Half a month later. The wheelchair man's tone sounded sad, "You may be able to hide in advance, but you should have quite a few friends." Those people won't let go of anything, and you can't hide with a large group of people. ā
When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a mountain of pressure, which suddenly pressed on his chest, pressing him out of breath.
"So, give me the bracelet. The wheelchair man continued, "After you leave, I will also leave the Eastern Desert and find another place to hide. You can hide on your own, or you can die to save your men, but the bracelet can no longer fall into the hands of the church. ā
Benjamin immediately vetoed: "You think too much, I won't die at the hands of the church." ā
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I've done it once. Benjamin replied coldly, "Do you think I don't know the church? I can smash Haven Lite into a muddy pool with a big water balloon, and I will occupy the Cruzard gate with twenty men." If no one had survived unscathed under them, keep your eyes open, I would have been the first. ā
At this moment, the wheelchair man's eyes couldn't help but widen. He looked at Benjamin as if he had seen something incredible.
