Chapter 356: The Controlled King
Benjamin's words blurted out, like a bomb thrown from the ground, blowing up the originally harmonious atmosphere of conversation, and also blowing up the king's stunned expression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"You...... What are you talking about?"
Benjamin shook his head and sighed.
"It's come to this, so why bother doing it again. He put away his contrived gesture and looked at the king quietly, "What has happened during this time? β
He was disappointed.
Obviously preparing to deal with the mage Freemasonry, as a result, only a month or so has passed, and the king has completely fallen to the other side, which is really disappointing.
He even wondered if the king had been transferred. However, after comparing the databases, the system told him with great certainty that this was the current king of Fredon, and unless the world had cloning technology, it could not be fake.
So what else can Benjamin say?
The only thing he was thankful for was that the water elemental told him that there was nothing but Aldrich around, and that there were no other mages, let alone an ambush encirclement.
This still made him a little confused.
Is Aldrich too confident? or ...... What's going on?
While Benjamin was deep in thought, the king became unusually silent when he heard what he had just said. At this moment, he lowered his head with a complicated expression, and the momentum of being a monarch was gone.
Another voice, coming from outside the window, answered Benjamin in the king's place.
"Because, our Majesty has no other choice. β
A gust of wind blows, and the windows open automatically. Aldrich, dressed in pitch-black robes, slowly flew into the room from the outside.
"Master Benjamin, we meet again. He looked at Benjamin with a victorious smile.
"Mage Aldrich. Benjamin also spoke, calmly, "You know what? Actually, there were moments when I wondered if you were really a good person. Unfortunately, Your Excellency still let me down. β
Aldrich shook his head: "Everyone's path is different. You feel like I'm a bad person, I feel like I'm just doing the right thing. β
"Then we don't have much more to say. Benjamin let out a sneer, then turned his gaze to the silent king, and continued, "Your Majesty, are you not going to defend anything?"
It's a matter of waiting for the fight, he just wants to know what the hell is going on.
However, the king did not speak, and only Aldrich asked Benjamin what he said.
"Your Majesty does not need to defend himself. Aldrich spread his hands, like a priest preaching, "He just chose the right side." And you, who were involved a month ago, naively thought you could change something. β
Benjamin replied, "I've changed a lot of things. β
Aldrich smiled contemptuously and said, "Perhaps, but from the moment Her Royal Highness the Princess was taken away by us, the current end has been doomed. β
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned.
...... They did something to the princess?
"Our methods are not what you can imagine. Aldrich confidently continued, "In the time we took the princess, we had already completed the ritual on her. She is still the innocent and lively little girl she used to be, but we can let her do a lot of things for us unconsciously. β
When Benjamin heard this, he looked at the king again: "So, is Your Majesty also controlled by you like this?"
"No, we can only influence these immature children at the moment. Aldrich shook his head and said, "However, we have another way. β
So saying, he suddenly walked up to the king, stretched out his hand, and lifted the hair from the king's forehead. The king looked humiliated, but closed his eyes, did not resist, and let Aldrich fiddle.
Benjamin also looked over with some astonishment.
I saw that the center of the king's forehead seemed to be inlaid with something. If you look closely, it is a small silver cross, and I don't know what means it used, it has sunk deep between the flesh and bones, as if it was born there.
Seeing this scene, Benjamin inexplicably felt a little chilly.
"This is our newly developed magic prop, although it can't control people's behavior, but it can decide people's life and death. Aldrich laughed, "Surprised, but since you're also from Havenley, you must have heard of our abilities." β
...... Coming from Haven Lite?
Hearing this, Benjamin's face changed.
He was recognized?
Aldrich continued: "Benjamin? Grant Reese, who has the most abundant talent bestowed by God, is willing to fall into depravity, choosing to become a mage, and then using his brother's name to swagger outside. You will disappoint God very much. β
Hearing this, Benjamin snorted, bothering to defend his identity.
It's also normal to be recognized. He was the church's most wanted criminal, and his portrait probably also passed into Aldrich's hands.
Aldrich, however, seemed to be opened to the conversation, and suddenly became gushing.
"When I know that you are the one blessed by God, do you know how excited I feel?" he said slowly, with a certain fervor on his face, "I think it must be God's willβthere is no more fallen sinner in the world than you! β
Benjamin sneered, "So what, are you going to kill me?"
"Yes, if I kill you, I will be cleansed from the sins of being a mage. Aldrich nodded and said, "I was going to do it to you again in a month, to prepare all the prayer rituals, and let you die little by little in the light." It's a pity that you don't know what to do, not only did you come to tell Your Majesty, but you also found me hiding outside. You're already alert, so I'm going to kill you right now. β
Hearing this, Benjamin also sneered and shook his head.
No wonder there was no ambush or helper outside, so he didn't plan to kill him on the spot.
He couldn't help but think: if he hadn't broken it just now, maybe Aldrich would really let him get out of here safely, and he would do it when he was ready.
It's a pity......
It would have been a good opportunity to do the trick.
"Do you think you really have what it takes to keep me here?" he said, thinking.
Aldrich laughed a few times.
"Sure enough, he is a proud son of the sky, and his words and deeds reveal genius-like confidence. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I know what storms you have caused in the royal capital, but I also know that that is not your real strength. That's just the power you get in a short period of time by selling your soul to demons. β
...... It turns out that this is how the water polo is explained within the church?
Benjamin shook his head.
"In that case, then you can give it a try. β
