The church has probably put more than 30 eyeliners in Changhe Town, except for those who are out of public, the rest of the people have been found by Benjamin and eliminated one by one.

The whole process is still very easy, with his current strength, these small fish and shrimp are not his opponents at all. It only took about half an hour for Changhe Town to be quietly cleaned up by him.

The rest of the people were in a public place like a tavern, and Benjamin couldn't do it, so he had to let them go.

And when he passed by a hotel, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

"What is the situation with the goods? Although the war has not yet reached this side, it will not be long before prices will rise wildly. Harold: They're all hoarding, and we can't be slower than them......"

Entering the hallway of the inn and listening to the faint sound coming from the room, Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Through the water element sensing method, he could see that the rich merchant Hal in the room,

- Benjamin worked as a magical tutor for him a few times. The time he was unable to enter Glory, it was the merchant who helped him bring the letter to the king, who had not yet fled.

Benjamin couldn't help but remember that he had previously united the merchant class of Carrets by teaching magic. Unfortunately, one thing after another, and the connection between him and these merchants was also severed.

But now...... The king was soon to discover his base, and it was a good time to reconnect with the wealthy merchants.

The king will need their help.

So he stopped at the door of that room and knocked on it.

"Who?"

A vigilant voice came from inside the room.

"An old friend. Benjamin replied with a smile, "I didn't come here with any malice, I just wanted to care about your young master's learning progress." What did he learn from the book I left him last time?"

There was silence in the room.

Benjamin was not in a hurry, just waited patiently.

In a moment, the door suddenly opened, and a butler-like man hurried out of the room with his head bowed. Inside the room, the wealthy merchant Hal poured a glass of champagne and smiled a friendly smile at Benjamin.

Seeing this, Benjamin nodded, walked into the room, and closed the door.

"Sure enough, it's been a long time. The wealthy merchant Hal also spoke at this time, his attitude was a little unexpectedly good, "Master Benjamin, I have heard a lot about your great deeds during this time. ”

...... Oh?

Benjamin's heart moved, he quietly took the champagne, and said with a smile: "You have won the prize." ”

The two clinked glasses lightly and took a sip of wine. Hal immediately asked, "Master Benjamin, I won't make so many detours. Is it true that His Majesty escaped from Glory and hid with you somewhere in Caritus?"

Benjamin nodded.

"Where is His Majesty, is he still alive?" asked Hal again.

"Of course. ”

Hal seemed relieved when he heard this. He took a few more sips and said, "Master Benjamin, when is Your Majesty going to return to the royal capital?"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think His Majesty will return to the royal capital?"

"Because he is Your Majesty. Hal put down his wine and looked serious, "As the blood of the royal family, as long as he lives for one day, he will do everything he can to return to the throne." ”

"Interesting...... Benjamin smiled, "why are you suddenly so concerned about the well-being of His Majesty? ”

"That's different. Hal immediately shook his head, "It was His Majesty who sat on the throne at that time, and now it is another person who sits on the throne." That's a big difference. ”

Benjamin was a little surprised when he heard this

Forget about the previous granary steward, he didn't expect that this businessman would actually be a staunch supporter of royal orthodoxy. This doesn't match his class position!

Benjamin wanted to enlist the support of these businessmen, yes, but ...... The contrast in the other party's attitude is so great that he can't help but have some doubts.

"So, Your Excellency intends to support His Majesty's return to the throne?" he asked slowly, narrowing his eyes.

Hal nodded.

"Why?"

Hal smiled again, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression, and said, "To tell you the truth, the situation in Carretus is getting worse and worse for those of us who do business. ”

"How come?" Thinking of what he had just heard outside the door, Benjamin couldn't help but say, "Now that there is a war and prices are skyrocketing, isn't it a good time to get rich?"

"yes, it was a good time. Hal explained, "But because of the order from Glori, we can't even grasp the moment. The ban on entering and leaving the city has been in place for too long, and every entry and exit has to be strictly checked, and my caravan has been delayed for no time. I'm not alone, but all the merchants of Carretus have lost a lot of money, and I'm looking forward to the day when the ban will be lifted once and for all. ”

Benjamin nodded thoughtfully and said, "So...... Or is it because the church is getting in the way of your money?"

"It's not just that we won't be allowed to make money. Hal was very dissatisfied, "Although the ban is only a strict inspection of entry and exit, but the virtue of the soldiers in those places, Your Excellency should also be clear. As soon as they see that we are a caravan and have money, every time we pass by, how can they give up without knocking a penny?

Benjamin was stunned.

The gates of the city were kept strictly guarded, just to prevent Benjamin and them from getting in. But now, Benjamin did not enter the city at all, and the merchants were disgruntled by the order.

But...... The church apparently didn't care what the local businessmen thought.

It's really pushing people to their side.

"I see. Benjamin took another sip and said, "That's the church." They don't leave Carretus for a day, and everyone doesn't have a good day. ”

"That's the truth. Hal also nodded, and said slowly, "Master Benjamin, how long will Your Majesty hide? Only Your Majesty can end this situation in front of us, although we can't do anything, but we can still do it." ”

When Benjamin heard this, he finally smiled.

He didn't expect that the support of the merchant would come so easily before entering the door. He came in with the intention of a lobbyist, but the other party was so active that he didn't need to speak.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the appeal of royal power was even greater than he had imagined. In the past, he ran around and got only a fraction of the support, but now, with the king's name here, people will automatically come and help you.

...... There was a faint sense of helplessness.

If he knew it would be so easy, he wouldn't have to make so much effort.

"Master Benjamin, you have an answer. Seeing that Benjamin didn't speak for a long time, Hal asked a little nervously, "When will Your Majesty come back?"

Benjamin came back to his senses and smiled.

At this moment, there was a cacophony of people in the street outside the hotel window.

Hal turned his head in amazement and looked out the window. I saw that the originally peaceful night of the town suddenly became extremely noisy, and there seemed to be a fire flashing in the distant streets, and there were faint shouts of killing.

Shouting for killing......

As if thinking of something, Hal turned his head and looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin still had a calm smile.

"What's the hurry, isn't your majesty coming back?" he said.
