Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Priest Who Wandered In
With that, Benjamin said goodbye to Michelle and prepared to return to the inn again to get back his due loot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of Benjamin's abrupt farewell, Michelle was a little confused, but she didn't seem to have the intention of staying too long. Therefore, at Benjamin's urging, she also quickly left the prison site.
Of course, before she left, Benjamin hadn't forgotten to ask her about something else.
"Didn't Anne say something under the third tree in the old place before you sent her to die, and she buried all the good things there. Where the hell is that old place of yours?"
This opportunity was just in time, Michelle was in front of him, and he asked the right place so that he wouldn't waste time running around again.
Hearing this, Michelle showed a strange expression and said, "Anne is a traitor, and she can kill her own companion just out of jealousy." What she said before she left was just a lie. Why do you believe that?"
"No matter, I'm idle and have nothing to do, I want to dig, willful. ”
“......”
Despite a big phone call, at Benjamin's insistence, Michelle told Benjamin about the "old place". Benjamin found out that this "old place" was not even among the abandoned strongholds given by the church.
People say that there are three holes for the cunning rabbit, and Michelle is almost thirty holes.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of happiness. Fortunately, before saying goodbye, he asked Michelle more. Otherwise, he probably won't be able to find Anne's relics for the rest of his life.
So, having been given the location of the "old place", he said goodbye to Michelle. Michelle also left in a hurry, if nothing else, she was going to open the treasury of the Reeser family.
Anyway...... Good luck to her. That's the only place Benjamin can help her now.
He had more important things to do.
And just like that, Michelle left. And after Michelle leaves, Benjamin can't wait to open the mechanism of the prison ruins, so that the entrance to the secret passage is revealed again.
He jumped through the entrance and entered the dark passage again.
As for how to get back to the inn, he also had a lot of plans in mind. But in the end, he decided to walk back along the secret passage.
He could also walk back from the streets of the outer city, but it would take more time to do so. And if the people of the church have already come, they will definitely lock down the inn. Benjamin is dressed as a beggar, how can he get in.
It's better to take the secret passage.
Of course, secret passages also have the disadvantages of secret passages. If the people of the church discovered the existence of the secret passage, then Benjamin would have fallen into the trap by walking through it, and he might have encountered it halfway through the secret passage.
But in the secret passage, Benjamin will also have his own advantages.
The secret passage was dark and he couldn't see anything, but he could clearly perceive everything around him through the water elemental sensing method.
With a sensing distance of more than 20 meters, if the church really discovered the secret passage, he could also discover the people of the church before the people of the church saw him. So he didn't have to worry about it.
And, what's more, the secret passage leads directly to the room, which is very convenient. All he had to do was wait for no one in the room, then jump out of the secret passage, touch the body, and run back to the secret passage. The whole process will not take more than a minute, it is not easy to alarm others, and the chances of success are also very high.
Therefore, although he vaguely had a feeling that he was not dying, he did not think that he was dying.
In short, he must have opened the priest's body with his own hands. Otherwise, he would have regretted that he couldn't sleep for the next few nights.
In this way, he was in the dark secret passage, closed his eyes, turned on the water elemental sensing method, and ran all the way in the direction of the inn.
With the continuous use of the water elemental sensing method, Benjamin also became more and more proficient. It was as if the water elements around him had become a part of his body, and the feedback was as fast as his eyes and ears.
He even had the illusion of opening his eyes.
Undoubtedly, this is also the unique ability that the magic runes give him. He also wondered why other spellcasters, no matter how strong their elemental affinities were, didn't seem to have this ability.
"Introduction to Divine Arts" doesn't mention this either. It was written above that after the mental power becomes stronger, people will become sharper than before, and even perceive some things that they could not find before. But Benjamin knew very well that no matter how sharp his spiritual power was, he would never reach the level of the Water Elemental Perception Method.
Is there something that has changed in his consciousness space?
Benjamin thought so, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
The existence of the consciousness space itself is already a mutation.
Seriously, if he had the chance, he would have to get some more advanced books on magic from Grant. It would be of great help to him if he could find more information about "prayer space".
He also enjoys exploring on his own, but who would refuse to be guided by someone who came before him?
He was even more curious about the legendary fourth-generation pope. It is only by relying on the system to constantly replay the spell that he can forcibly break through the confinement of consciousness and open up the space of consciousness. And how did the Pope, who led the Church to its peak, do it?
No wonder it's a legend.
In this way, while hurrying forward in the secret passage, while thinking in his heart, about twenty minutes or so, he returned to the end of the secret passage inn.
There was no need to walk slowly behind the old man, nor did he have to carry an unconscious assassin on his back, so he was much faster than when he came.
He didn't rush to open the door of the secret passage, but stuck to the entrance of the secret passage and carefully sensed it.
The images in the room were also slowly taking shape in Benjamin's mind.
The half-open closet, the empty bed, the three paladins who were shot in the head, the priest who rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth, and his body was still wet...... Everything in the room, no different from before leaving.
Benjamin was suddenly surprised.
Sure enough, the church was busy with too many things, and it didn't take out the manpower to investigate it in the first place.
But surprise is surprise, and Benjamin is not sure that the people from the church really haven't come yet. So out of caution, he still didn't move, waited at the entrance of the secret passage, and decided to wait and see.
Fortunately, he was cautious, because within ten seconds, there was a faint sound of conversation, reaching his ears.
“...... Who would have thought that there was still such a powerful mage hidden in the royal capital. I wonder what His Majesty the Pope and His Holiness the Bishop will think when they come back and see this scene?"
A deep male voice, from small to large, from far to near.
Then, at Benjamin's induction, two men dressed as priests walked into the room while talking.
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
As a result, the church still sent someone, and he was afraid that he would be happy in vain.
But he was not discouraged, and there was still a chance. As long as he observes the movement of these two people, when they are temporarily away from this room, he can take the opportunity to come out and touch the corpse.
Chances, as long as you're patient enough, are always waiting for them.
In this way, he crouched at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
In the room, which was separated by a wooden plank, the conversation between the two priests continued.
"Do you think that His Majesty the Pope has not appeared for eight years, and since the successful communication of divine will, the whole person has become completely different from before. One of the priests spoke suddenly.
