Chapter 195: The Mage's Note
Hawke opened the door and ushered Benjamin into the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He said with some surprise: "Your Excellency, have you finally changed your mind? Actually, our president is not what you think, he is a very humble person, and he will never embarrass you......"
Benjamin interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but our itinerary has been decided, and we will leave for Carretus tomorrow, and we really don't have time to pass through the capital." ”
Hearing this, Hawke's expression looked a little helpless.
"Your Excellency Benjamin, you have left the country illegally. Tell me this now, aren't you afraid that I'll report it to the guild and send someone to arrest you all?" he said with a wry smile.
Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I just said it casually, and I didn't really do it." Is it illegal to say it?"
“......”
Several of the mages behind Benjamin were covering their mouths and snickering. As for Hawke, he didn't seem to want to speak.
However, after all, as a lobbyist of the Mage Guild, he took a deep breath, regained his calm and friendly attitude, faced Benjamin, and spoke again: "In that case, Your Excellency Benjamin, what is the matter with you coming to me?"
Benjamin shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... Didn't Master Richard faint during the competition yesterday? After all, I was stunned, and I was a little worried, so I came to pay a visit. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a few mages behind him, and continued, "They are my friends, they used to be doctors, and they are also interested in healing magic after becoming mages, so I brought them here to see if they can help." ”
Hearing this, Hawke glanced at the sturdy mages behind Benjamin a few times, and seemed a little suspicious. However, he probably thought that it was all inconsequential trifle, and after thinking about it, he turned around, pulled back the partition of the room, and showed the bed to Benjamin and the others.
"Richard hasn't woken up since yesterday, and the water of life doesn't look like it's working. Hawke said with some concern, "He just kept lying there, and I don't know why." ”
Hearing this, Benjamin was a little taken aback.
Isn't it, the power of a big water balloon is so terrifying? Can he smash people to faint for a day and a night, and I don't know when I will wake up?
He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with this Richard's body.
But......
It's really a good opportunity, and it feels a little bit beautiful.
Of the two mages from the Mage Guild, one had lost consciousness and was lying unconscious on the bed. In this way, it will be easier for them to deal with another mage.
Just as Hawke turned to look at Richard, Benjamin winked at the man behind him. Immediately, the mage behind him also showed a look of understanding.
So, Benjamin walked up and patted Hawke on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, so I'll let them see if Master Richard is sick, maybe they can do it. He seemed to be kind enough to comfort.
Just as Hawke's attention was drawn to Benjamin, the strongest mage, the old blacksmith, came towards them. He first pretended to see Richard, and then, taking advantage of Hawke's unpreparedness, he grabbed him by the head and slammed it against the wall next to him.
Boom!
Benjamin couldn't help but furrow.
I saw that the originally white wall was also stained with blood at this moment. Hawke's face still maintained an unresponsive expression, and his limbs twitched slightly, like a frog trampled on his stomach, but he couldn't make any sound.
"He's not going to be killed by you, is he?" asked Benjamin.
Hearing this, the old blacksmith wiped the blood that Hawke was knocked out, put his hand under the other party's nose to probe his breath, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, you're not dead, you're still angry." ”
Benjamin walked over and confirmed that Hawke was indeed not in danger of life, but he was knocked unconscious by this blow, and at most he had a concussion, but it was not life-threatening. So, he was relieved.
The whole process of stuning Hawke was extremely smooth, but Benjamin and his party were all mages, and no matter how vigilant the other party was, it was impossible to think of such a simple and crude attack.
Besides, Benjamin did a good job of being kind and distracting at the beginning.
"Alright, tie him up. Thinking of this, he came back to his senses and said this.
Several other mages stepped forward in response, took out the rope and cloth that had been prepared long ago, and tied Hawke firmly and tightly tied him, even gagged his mouth, so that he would not have the opportunity to recite the incantation when he awoke.
- That's right, that's how Benjamin handled it.
He was going to knock both mages unconscious and tie them up and lock them in this room. By the time the owner of the inn felt that something was wrong and came to check on them and let the two of them out, Benjamin and his party had already run away, and it was difficult for the other party to find their traces. As a result, it is impossible for the Ikor officials to know where they will break through from the border, and there is no way to guard against it.
"Y-What are you doing?"
However, while the mages were busy tying up Hawke, Richard, who was still unconscious on the bed just now, suddenly sat up and looked at Benjamin and his party with a look of horror.
At that moment, Benjamin also felt quite terrifying.
"Haven't you fainted all the time?" he said, confused. However, soon, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "No, I know, it turns out that you have been pretending to be dizzy all along?"
Hearing this, Richard's expression suddenly became embarrassed.
"Who, who is pretending to be dizzy? Why should I pretend to be dizzy? I, I am ......" He hesitated, as if trying to explain why he suddenly woke up, but at that moment, he seemed to become a stammer, and after a long time, he couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Benjamin sighed and glanced at the old blacksmith again.
The old blacksmith understood, walked over, repeated his old tricks, and grabbed Richard's head and slammed it against the wall. Richard was probably too busy explaining why he was pretending to be unconscious, so he didn't put up the slightest resistance, and let the old blacksmith do something to him.
So, with another muffled sound, the whole room fell silent, and Richard, who was stammering and chattering, could no longer explain why he was pretending to be faint.
"These Mage Guild guys are weird. The other mage sighed.
Benjamin couldn't help but nod in agreement.
What the hell is pretending to be stunned?
How old are you, just because you lost a competition, as for it? It's like the kind of elementary school student who lies in bed and pretends to be sick because he doesn't want to go to school.
It made Benjie happy to understand, and thought that his water polo technique had evolved some special function.
In this way, they dealt with the two guys sent by the Mage Guild in an unusually violent and simple way. Although the smooth process is mainly due to the defenselessness of the other party, directing several strong mages to kidnap people, Benjamin still inexplicably feels like a boss of the underworld.
It's a pity that there are no sunglasses in this world, otherwise he would have gotten one.
For humanitarian reasons, after the search, Benjamin did not snatch everything from the two mages - in fact, he only took a crumpled note from Hawke's body.
After that, they left the room.
It's night, and the small team of mages is ready. In this way, they took their luggage, left the money on the pillow in the room, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to quietly leave the inn and leave Hanktown.
Once again, they hurried through the night, all the way east, intending to bypass Regina and find a way to reach the border between Ikor and Fredon, and fly quietly past.
I walked for more than four hours.
At this moment, they were far away from Hanktown, at the foot of an inaccessible mountain. Because of the tiring journey, coupled with the fact that it is a relatively famous Warcraft activity area in Ikor territory, they decided to set up camp here, rest for the night, and then continue their journey tomorrow.
In the cramped, dimly lit tent, Benjamin looked down and took out the note again.
-- The note that had been found in Hawke's pocket before leaving Hanktown, and which Benjamin had held in his hand countless times, rummaged through, and looked at again and again.
On the crumpled paper, there was an unusually clear line of words:
"Scare away the Water Balloon Demon and don't let him near the capital. ”
