Seeing that everyone had eaten almost enough, the king put down his knife and fork and said in a concluding manner: "Thank you very much for being able to attend today, we have enjoyed a very pleasant dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlso, Master Benjamin, welcome to Freden. Believe me, choosing to settle in this country would be the right choice. ”

Benjamin nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality." ”

Except for the initial emotional card, the king did not show any hope that Benjamin would help him. Therefore, he ate this meal quite easily.

Moreover, he has met such people, and when he returns to Riley City, life will definitely be much better.

- In any case, he was also the one who had dinner with the king, and if Mage Finch tried to slander him maliciously, he would have to weigh it behind his back.

And so the king and queen got up from their chairs and walked out first. The other guests waited until they had left, and then they were led out of the dining room by the servants. Benjamin was also invited to stay in the palace guest rooms for one night and leave the next day.

- Although he didn't feel much about staying in the palace, after all, it was the king's invitation, and he couldn't refuse it, so he agreed.

However, just as the king had turned around.

The lights in the entire dining room went out suddenly. Candles on the table, oil lamps around it...... In short, everything that can emit light seems to have been stopped by something at this moment.

The restaurant was plunged into darkness.

Everyone was taken aback.

"What's going on?"

"That's not right...... There are mana fluctuations. ”

"Quick! Protect Your Majesty!"

In the blink of an eye, the people in the restaurant fell into a panic, all kinds of screams came from their ears, and there was a lot of commotion, and it was impossible to hear who was saying what at all.

Benjamin was also surprised. However, he immediately came back to his senses, and in the darkness, he turned on the water elemental perception method.

As if wearing blue night vision glasses, everything in the entire restaurant is clearly in front of his eyes. The servants in a hurry, the candles and lamps that were all extinguished, the king who had his queen to the wall, and the generals who groped in the dark......

And, the weirdest thing is that Aldrich on the side immediately summoned a flame to illuminate the place, but the flame could not emit any light.

Through the water element, Benjamin could feel the presence of the flames, but he could not see a trace of light with the naked eye.

This is...... Turn off the lights?

Suddenly, he realized that this was probably a long-planned attack.

In the midst of this chaos, suddenly, a guy dressed in black, rushed in from the entrance connecting the kitchen, holding a dagger in his hand, and instantly approached the king and queen by the wall.

Seeing this, Benjamin didn't care so much, and shouted loudly: "Be careful! There are assassins!"

It's like a spell.

Throughout the restaurant, the chaotic sounds paused for a moment, and the faces of the people showed even more panicked expressions. The king by the wall did not panic, drew his sword, and protected the queen behind him.

However, the masked assassin did not back down after being called out by Benjamin, but instead accelerated his actions.

Benjamin gasped.

Looking at that kind of speed, it is definitely not something that ordinary humans can achieve, and it must be a potion knock. In the darkness, he was like a gust of wind, and the water element was almost unable to catch it, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the king by the wall.

Thankfully, while he was close to the king, Benjamin was still able to do something.

Accompanied by the surging of the water element, a blister was summoned by Benjamin, enveloping the king and queen inside and protecting them. At the same time, Aldrich did not know how to find the king's position and summoned a layer of wind shield to protect him.

Under two layers of protection, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

He could even feel sympathy for the Assassins.

Assassinating the king in front of two mages, Benjamin won't say anything, and the other is the president of the mage Freemasonry, which pig brain came up with this plan?

However, just when Benjamin thought he would be fine, the Assassin brandished his dagger and stabbed at the double protection of the wind shield and the blister.

I don't know how he can distinguish things in the dark, and I don't know what the dagger in his hand is, but when the double protection is attacked, it is directly broken by the assassin in less than two seconds!

Benjamin was taken aback.

Although it was only a shield they hastily made, it ...... It's not that brittle, is it?

He had no choice but to recite the incantation again, summoning a large cloud of water vapor that directly set off a violent wind throughout the restaurant. In the midst of the raging winds, the Assassin was disturbed, and plates and forks flew at him, as well as a leftover turkey skeleton that was directly snapped into his face, so that he could no longer attack the king.

As for Aldrich, it seems that he can only locate the king and cannot determine the location of the assassin, so he does not make rash moves, but keeps using shield magic to protect the king.

"Please don't panic, stay where you are, don't move!" he shouted.

Disturbed by Benjamin again, countless shields reappeared in front of him, and finally, the assassin seemed to have given up on his plan to assassinate the king, turned around, and suddenly ran outside in the direction of the wind.

Seeing this, Benjamin immediately changed the direction of the water vapor flow and tried to keep the Assassin in place.

However, the Assassin's speed was still too fast, and as soon as Benjamin changed the direction of the wind, he had already fled to the door and disappeared with a swish.

"He's running through the south door, I'm going to chase him!" immediately shouted Benjamin.

"No, don't chase it!" Aldrich said suddenly, "It is important to protect Your Majesty, and you must not chase it out." I've activated the palace alarm, and the guards outside will deal with him. ”

Can the pro-guards outside deal with this guy?

Benjamin almost retorted.

However, taking a deep breath, he calmed down and did not act rashly. It is possible that this is the only person who can see things, and he must not leave the place where the king is casually.

What's more, it doesn't matter if that person runs away. In the time being, he had used the water elemental to penetrate the mask and allow the system to remember what the assassin looked like. Even if he escapes from the palace, he will only face a national arrest.

Not to mention, the man who cast his magic to plunge this place into darkness hadn't even appeared.

Therefore, he still maintained the water elemental sensing method, enveloping the entire restaurant to make sure that there were no suspicious people here.

After a few moments, the magic that had shrouded the restaurant finally disappeared, and the messy scene was represented. There was food all over the floor, tables and chairs that were staggering...... At this moment, the restaurant is no longer elegant and gorgeous.

“...... It's over?"

The king looked around for a moment, maintaining a look of horror, took a deep breath, and put away his sword.

"What a help from two mages. He came back to his senses, looked at Benjamin and Aldrich, and said, "If it weren't for you, I might be dead by now." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Aldrich nodded, a smile finally coming back to his face.

Benjamin, on the other hand, was silent for a while, then suddenly looked in the direction of the kitchen and slowly spoke: "That assassin ...... He rushed out of the kitchen. He must have been hiding in the kitchen before. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

The king's eyes narrowed, and the eloquent temperament slowly vanished, replaced by a sense of solitary indifference, green eyes like wild beasts watching his territory.

He slowly looked into the dining room, a servant who seemed to be dressed as a chef.

The atmosphere was tense.

Just when Benjamin thought he was about to say something, suddenly the outside door was opened again, and a somewhat familiar maid hurried in.

She threw herself before the king and queen, trembling and sobbing and raising her head.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, she's gone!"
