Chapter 112: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
Benjamin had envisioned many churches capturing him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It could be that he was sitting in his room meditating when the bishop suddenly descended from the sky and a holy light came to his face, or it could be that he was wandering through the streets of the outer city and suddenly a large crowd of people rushed out and arrested him on the spot......
He was well aware of how dangerous his mage status would be. The church could see through him at any time, so he was actually mentally prepared for such a thing as tearing his face with the church.
-- He can't keep cultivating like this under the nose of the church.
However, he never imagined that he would be arrested by the church for this reason.
From beginning to end, the church did not find out that he was a mage, but at this moment, because of Mary's cry, he was taken by everyone as Grant, imprisoned, and inexplicably carried this black cauldron.
How could he have expected that?
This...... Who the would have thought?
Disasters are flying, and disasters are unjustified.
Originally, Mary's sudden change of face was enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect that Grant's secret of Jiji was also discovered by Ax, and it was not too early or too late, and it was reported to the bishop at this time.
So the bishop himself came with men.
What else could he do?
After Ax said that, Benjamin immediately began to defend himself loudly, wanting to clarify his identity. But it was clear that Mary, who was holding him and crying, seemed a little more convincing, and no one believed him.
In the entire Rieser family, no one can prove his innocence. Claude was still in the territory, and the old lady went out to have tea with someone, and Grant estimated that Mary had hidden somewhere, but the servants were all separated...... See, everything happened to be so coincidental.
This is not an accident, this is a conspiracy that has been designed for a long time.
A plot that Mary had planned long ago to sacrifice Benjamin and protect Grant.
In this way, Benjamin was surrounded by countless paladins, and the bishop stood aside, eyeing him fiercely. Under that powerful spiritual oppression, he could only be restrained.
If he dared to resist, he would probably be killed on the spot.
Even, Benjamin doubted that there was a shadow of the church behind this conspiracy.
Grant's matter was exposed, it was Aix's secret, there was no news outside, and only the church could know this in advance. Without the church's advance guidance, Mary would not have preconceived the idea of calling Benjamin Grant before people came in.
Maybe...... It was originally the church's intention to let Benjamin die instead of Grant.
is also said that Grant is the proud son of the church and has an outstanding talent for divine arts, of course the church wants to cultivate him and protect him, how can he let Grant die in the process of growth.
So, they had to let Benjamin die.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but let out a sneer.
He looked up and glanced at his surroundings. Dim light, damp to moldy air, cold ground, lifeless environment...... The only thing that was visible was one iron baring after another, enclosing him.
After the paladin took him, he was thrown directly into the purification of the Church.
It is said to be a purification center, but it is actually a religious prison. However, because of the history of a mage's prison robbery, the iron railing of this place has been specially refined and has the effect of banning demons. Benjamin also sensed it himself, and the magical elements around the iron railing would be subject to a strange disturbance, which was difficult to control. It's really impossible to use magic here.
Legend has it that after the purification was built, there was never a single successful mage escaping from prison. For this reason, it is also known as the "entrance to hell", saying that once you enter here, you will not be far from hell.
No one who has entered the purification center has survived.
Of course, for Benjamin, this is not something he needs to think about. Aix also said that tomorrow at noon he would be tied to the cross and burned alive. No matter how famous the purification center is, it can't frighten him.
He...... Are you really going to die?
Benjamin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
"Ge...... Grant?"
Suddenly, a call came from the cell next door. Benjamin opened his eyes and looked over, and by the faint light he saw a boy of his age standing up in the next cell, holding the iron railing, looking at him with a puzzled look.
...... Grant's concubine?
Benjamin glanced at him indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and ignored the other party.
In this case, he also has nothing to say.
"Wait, you...... You're not Grant!No, who are you?Why are you pretending to be Grant?" Soon, the teenager in the next cell looked at Benjamin again and exclaimed.
Hearing this, Benjamin laughed a few times with a slight mockery, and he didn't even have the idea of glancing at it again.
Congratulations, you will receive a special gift from the church, a burner at the stake.
Who would have thought that Grant was the star of the entire royal capital, the object of love or hatred of countless people. But in the end, only this teenager can tell at a glance who the real Grant is.
What an ironic scene.
"Hey, come on! You've caught the wrong person, this isn't Grant!" Unexpectedly, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then he started shouting again, the voice was so loud that it could be described as heartbreaking, "Hey! What about you! I want to see Count Aix! This is not the real Grant, this is the substitute ghost found by the Reeser family! Don't believe this impostor, you go and get the real Grant!"
“......”
Although no one paid any attention to him, Benjamin listened from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He thought that the boy recognized Benjamin because he liked Grant. But now it seems to him that what this young man really wants is Grant's death!
Hatred because of love? martyrdom? Do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day?
I'm afraid not......
If that's the case, then there's no need for him to shout "Lord Aix".
"Stop shouting, no one will pay attention to you. After thinking about it, Benjamin opened his mouth and stopped the young man, "I ask you, what do you have to do with Aix Fur?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately said viciously: "Who are you, who allowed you to call Count Aix by his name?"
Really......
Hearing this, Benjamin sneered, shook his head, and said, "It seems that you must have a lot of respect for Ax Fur, otherwise, you would not be willing to sacrifice yourself to help Aix set this trap." ”
This whole thing is not as simple as it seems.
The young man suddenly became a little flustered: "What, what kind of trap, I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"What kind of trap, do you need me to remind you?" Benjamin, who was not in a good mood, spoke in a more sarcastic tone, "It's your plan to seduce Grant, and then act as a witness yourself, and Aix will tell the bishop to tell the bishop and ruin Grant completely." ”
