Chapter 903: The Intruder

Eventually, after more than three hours, the funeral was over and the king's body was buried behind the town hall. Benjamin instructed his men to clean up the square and ...... himself turned around and disguised, hid in the crowd, and went to trouble those troublemakers.

"Who ordered you to come?"

Koster's remote alley, where he barricaded the fanatics, asked condescendingly.

Several believers all sat on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly. They looked up at Benjamin, gritting their teeth, their expressions alternating between horror and hatred. Someone tried to shout for help, but the sound was sealed in the alley by a film of water, and it could not be heard at all.

In the end, probably tired of shouting, they also realized that they could not escape, so they glared at Benjamin angrily, and finally spoke: "...... You're going to hell. ā€

"Whatever. Benjamin waved his hand, and his ears were calloused, but he didn't care, but continued to ask, "Where did you come from, what orders did you get, and who told you to make trouble at the funeral?"

As he spoke, ice needles emerged from the air, flashing with a cold light aimed at several people.

"You...... What do you mean? We are exercising God's commands!" The fanatic believer did not seem to be too afraid, and said excitedly, "No one directs us, this is our own will! The gods will not allow you demons to continue to plague this world!"

Benjamin frowned.

Is it hard-mouthed? Or is there really no one to instruct it......

In any case, it's better to review it first. Thinking so, he controlled the ice needle and tortured these believers like hell on earth. After about fifteen minutes, the men were hoarse and collapsed to the ground, cramping in every muscle, and no amount of fanatical faith could hold it up.

However, they still said that no one instructed them and that today's move was spontaneous.

ā€œ...... Never mind. ā€

Eventually, Benjamin shook his head and gave up the interrogation. He sent a few soldiers over, carried the fanatic, and threw them out of Koster, never to enter again.

Then he turned and left, and through the scanning of the system, he found the little beggar who was shouting in the city.

"Who taught you that?" Benjamin grabbed him into an abandoned house and began to interrogate, "I don't believe that you, a beggar, would know that the Academy of Magic has studied divine arts, and someone must be behind your back!"

The little beggar was frightened, and hurriedly smiled: "Master Fa, Master...... What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean?"

When Benjamin heard this, he had no choice but to summon a dozen ice needles again, and said with a cold face: "Still pretending to be stupid? If you have the courage to make trouble in the square, why don't you have the courage to admit it now? I advise you to think clearly, it is not comfortable to have so many needles pierced in the past, is it worth it to suffer so much for the people behind you?"

Pointed at the tip of the needle that shimmered with cold light, the little beggar shrank back again. He obviously did not have the willpower of ordinary priests and fanatical believers, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly fell to the ground, crying and recruiting at the same time.

"I ...... Don't kill me, yes, that man taught me...... He gave me ten gold coins, and said, and said, as long as I repeated these words in the square, he ...... He'll give me twenty more. I believed, and the result was ...... And that person was gone......"

Benjamin felt as if he had found something, and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ā€

"I—I don't know him either...... "The little beggar choked up for a moment, and continued, "I met him this morning on that street west of the city, and he felt rich...... He wears a mask, he can't see his face, and he wears a particularly long robe...... My lord, I really don't recognize it!"

After listening, Benjamin's face sank, and he had a bad premonition. Could it be someone from the church? Could the church have somehow gotten past the gates, infiltrated Koster, and hired a little beggar on the side of the road to make trouble at the funeral?

If that's the case, then it's a big problem......

If the priest had looked closely, he would have seen the flaws in the pile of false mages. In the current state of the Black Nightmare Army, they absolutely cannot tolerate the infiltration of spellcasters, and even the princess is under house arrest most of the time, and she can't see anything. Otherwise, once the information is leaked, it will be another catastrophe for them!

"Where did that man go after talking to you?" he immediately asked again.

"I ...... I don't know!," said the little beggar, trembling, "I took the money, and was so excited that I ran straight to the square...... I didn't see where he went. ā€

"What about the rest? What else is there about the height and size?" Benjamin was also a little anxious, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why did you say that you felt that he was very rich?

When the little beggar heard this, he was stunned. Then, frowning and remembering for a while, he suddenly exclaimed, "That...... That's because he wears so many rings on his hands!"

"Rings?"

"Yes, there are on almost every finger, and the gems are big! some are red, some are white...... It's so beautiful with a flash, like magic, I don't dare to look at it more, I feel like my head hurts after looking at it for a long time......"

Hearing this, Benjamin chuckled in his heart.

"That'...... Height and size?"

The beggar thought for a moment and said with a confused face: "Probably...... You're about the same height as an adult, and then ...... That's right, fat and thin are also very similar! It's really indescribably similar to you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Benjamin turned around and left, flying straight out of the house.

That bad premonition has turned into a strong sense of crisis.

The ring that can make ordinary people in a trance can only be matched by a few magic props handed down from ancient times, and then they wear a full hand, and then think of the picture they have seen before...... There is no doubt that Grant has infiltrated Koster.

What did he come to do?

Flying in the air, after hesitating for a few seconds, Benjamin immediately rushed in the direction of the barracks. The number of mages in the Black Nightmare Army has plummeted, and it is absolutely impossible to stop Grant's sneak attack, and it may even directly turn into a massacre......! And even if he didn't have time to sneak attack, just to find out the identities of those fake mages, the situation would have become very bad.

With an unusually anxious mood, Benjamin kept speeding up and hurried all the way to the military camp south of the city.

"It's kind of interesting to say. The system popped up out of time and said, "At first, you couldn't beat him head-on, so you sneaked into people's lair every day to do things." As a result, now, he can't beat you head-on, and then he sneaked to your hometown, which is really ...... Tut-tut......"

Benjamin ignored it.

Half a minute later, he rushed directly to the Black Nightmare camp. Fortunately, the camp looked normal, and the soldiers were doing normal drills and patrols. So, he turned on the water elemental sensing method, covering the entire camp and scouting for possible clues.

The system also joins the detection. After a few seconds, it said, "There are no anomalous traces of light elements in the air, and there are no strange footprints nearby, at least...... For half an hour, Grant didn't come to the place. ā€

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart became even stronger.

"Ben, Lord Benjamin, so you're here!" Suddenly, a soldier ran over, saw Benjamin above the camp, and hurriedly shouted, "No...... Oh no! someone just broke into the town hall and robbed the princess!"
