Haven Right's Uptown, Ross Restaurant, the royal family's cocktail party is still going on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Benjamin and the red-haired girl's forcible chat had not yet reached fifteen minutes.

"His Majesty the Pope?" After listening to the girl's words, Benjamin was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "Are you sure? How could an assassin assassinate His Majesty the Pope?" ”

The girl nodded solemnly and said, "It's true, this is what my aunt's brother-in-law's nephew's ex-girlfriend told me, her father is a priest in the church, and she also overheard her father say this, she must not be wrong." ”

“......”

It took Benjamin a while to sort out the intricate relationship between the characters.

Although it felt weird, but looking at the fanatical look on the girl's face when she spoke, he decided that he should believe this big revelation from a gossip expert.

Pope......

About the Pope, Benjamin also doesn't know much. All he knew was that the Pope was the supreme head of the Church. The current pope is the sixth pope, and it has been forty-five years since he succeeded him. And so far, the pope has not appeared for eight years, and now the work of the church is presided over by the bishop.

As for the reason for the pope's invisibility for eight years, the church said this: His Majesty the Pope is communicating with God's will to try to get God to revoke the punishment of this continent and appear again.

The most faithful believers were naturally convinced of this, but over time the trust of the general public in the Church declined. There are also some rumors among the people that the Pope is actually dead, and that the bishop concealed the news of the Pope's death in order to control the church.

Of course, not many people believe this kind of rumor, and everyone does not dare to talk about it loudly. Once heard by the church, those who say it will be arrested in the purification house in the name of blasphemy against the pope, and will never be released.

That's all Benjamin knows about the Pope. When the girl said the word "Pope", he also asked the system, and the system could not give more information.

So, after confirming the news, Benjamin fell into deep thought.

I didn't expect it......

The big move of the Church is not because of the mage, but because of the pope.

No wonder the Church withdrew even the paladins who protected him. If the Assassin really endangered the Pope, or saw some secrets of the Church, the Church would definitely put everything at hand aside and hunt down the Assassin first.

After thinking about it, he asked again in reality: "However, so much time has passed, and the church is still recruiting paladins. You mean, that assassin, hasn't been caught yet?"

The girl raised her eyebrows, revealing an unfathomable expression on her face, and nodded meaningfully.

“......”

It's good to nod your head, this eldest sister, you have too much drama, what are you doing with this kind of expression. You are not an undercover agent in another country, planning some kind of grand conspiracy to subvert the church.

At this moment, Benjamin also found that the red-haired girl seemed to be a little chatty.

However, if the assassin really hadn't been caught......

This is actually good news for Benjamin. The Church is busy dealing with mages and Assassins from other countries, and the attention paid to him will be greatly reduced. After today, Claude's grounding is over, and Benjamin will be able to move completely freely.

No matter what you do in the future, it will be much more convenient.

Not to mention anything else, as for the possible relics of Annie, Benjamin could have found them himself, and there was no need to hide them.

As long as he is a little more careful, he doesn't have to worry about revealing his mage identity.

As for the existence of the Assassin and the Pope, Benjamin was also curious, but he knew that it would be difficult for him to know more about it. For example, what the Pope was doing, and what the Assassins had done to cause the wrath of the Church, Benjamin could only bury them in his heart.

He'd better stay away.

Just as Benjamin was thinking about what could be done with this news, suddenly, the girl grabbed his arm excitedly and shook it vigorously, interrupting his train of thought.

"Hey, hey, look, that...... It's not ......."

Benjamin frowned and looked at the girl, then in the direction the girl was pointing.

What happened again?

I saw that at the edge of the reception hall, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old aristocratic men who looked a little pretentious surrounded a noblewoman who looked a little dull around the wall.

"How about you, would you like to dance with us on the second floor?" one of the aristocratic men asked with a shake of his hair, as if cool.

"I don't, your dancing is so bad that it will stomp on my feet. The aristocratic woman replied.

“......”

There was a circle of people snickering.

Benjamin was a little speechless. Isn't this just a failed pretending to flirt with a girl? I don't know why the red-haired girl is so excited, this momentum is wasted if she doesn't want to be a Hong Kong reporter.

The nobles present are not very old enough to do such a thing, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

The girl looked a few more times, and suddenly she turned to look at Benjamin again, and showed a strange look.

"Why don't you seem to care?"

Benjamin asked rhetorically, "Why should I have to care?"

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she said with some righteous indignation: "Benjamin Riesser, how can you do this? This is your ex-fiancée, even if the marriage contract is dissolved, you can't pretend that you don't know her, right?"

...... What do you say?

Benjamin was stunned.

He felt like he was missing something again.

What is this person talking about? Why does he recognize every word in her sentence, but he can't understand it when they are connected?

The aristocratic girl who was surrounded by the wall was his ex-fiancée?

However, after thinking about it, Benjamin also sensed that something was wrong.

Looking at the girl's expression, it really doesn't look like a joke, and it doesn't seem like a mistake. But what if she said it was true......

So...... Is there really such a thing as divorce?

"Ahem. Suddenly, the system pretended to clear his throat in his mind, and then said in a heel, "That's ...... You seem to ...... Truly...... It is...... There really is such an ex-fiancée. ”

“......”

Sure enough, there must be a systematic reason behind all the problems.

Benjamin was speechless.

That simplified memory from the system, how many holes did it leave him!

"You can't blame me for this, after all, it's an ex-fiancée. After the marriage was dissolved, the two of you didn't interact much anymore, so I didn't add her to the simplified memory. The system babbles on and on.

Benjamin sighed inwardly.

What else could he say?

Really, he will be killed by the system one day.

"She is the daughter of House Wood, whose name is Elizabeth, and your marriage contract has been betrothed since before you were born. As if to prevent Benjamin from getting angry, the system immediately began to introduce the ex-fiancée, "The relationship between the Wood family and the Reese family is very good, and you and she were conceived at the same time." During your pregnancy, your parents still had high hopes for you, so they gave you a baby kiss. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin shook his head.

The ex-fiancée is the ex-fiancée, they have already brought the word "former", and the past doesn't matter anymore.

He has long been accustomed to systematic intermittent convulsions, and he is too lazy to get angry.

"So, in the end, it's still like this, if you haven't been divorced once, can't you be considered a traverser?" However, he still couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Say, I made an appointment with her on which mountain to duel in a few years?"

He could only rejoice that the divorce had happened before the crossing, and he didn't need to experience it once.

"What are you talking about? They haven't divorced you. However, the system replied in a strange tone, "It was you who threw your engagement ring out of the window in front of all your classmates in a Sunday school class a few years ago and loudly announced that you were breaking off your engagement with her." ”
