Chapter 346: The Price of Not Killing
"Big brother, I want to go back. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
These were the first words that Benjamin finally heard as he drew closer to the four men.
At first, the idea was to follow them into the shadows, then sneak up and collect their belongings before they had a chance to use the strange magic items, and then continue the torture that night.
However, hearing this, his thoughts suddenly changed again.
The other party comes from a rather mysterious force. He wanted more information, eavesdropping was indeed a little more reliable than torture, and maybe he could get some unexpected surprise.
"How can we just go back like this?" Not far away, the voices of those people still came vaguely, "The props given by the elder haven't run out yet, we can try again." ”
"But...... People's exhibitions are over, where are we going to try?"
"Go to those buyers! Although the people who photographed the robes were kept secret, some people had already shown them off. I've investigated the location of one of them. Tonight, we can go and steal the robes. ”
"Is that good?"
"What's ...... bad"
The conversation between the four continues, and Benjamin learns why they didn't leave.
They haven't given up yet?
It's bold enough.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Benjamin also used the water element to induce a security check-style body search for the four people. Then, he immediately noticed that the four of them had several strange planks in their pockets.
The wooden board is brown, with some unintelligible characters engraved on it to conform to the pattern, and it is not large in size and looks a little rough. However, Benjamin could feel an inexplicable fluctuation of magic power from those wooden planks.
It was supposed to be the rest of the magic items they used.
Benjamin counted, and there were six more such planks. Although it was not tricky for him, it ...... To be able to make this amount of magic props, the power behind them should not be underestimated.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them mentioned Bian Mocheng several times. Judging by their words, they have lived in seclusion in the Eastern Desert for a long time, and there seem to be quite a few of them. But except for the "elder", the others didn't have much presence, they rarely mentioned it, and they didn't seem to see each other much.
Such a form of organization also made Benjamin feel very puzzled.
There are people who can make magic items, there are mages who are said to be very strong, and there are third-rate thieves like them...... All kinds of characters, forming a huge and complex organization, hide in the vast desert, hidden for many years, and there are not even many rumors about them.
Listening to what they said, if Benjamin hadn't made this exhibition of robes, they wouldn't have shown up, but would have been hiding until the world was destroyed or something.
What is this?
There's really everyone in Freden.
In fact, after listening all the way, Benjamin really didn't have much desire to do anything about these four thieves. As for the forces behind them, Benjamin would like to make contact with them.
If nothing else, depending on the ability to make magic props, Benjamin doesn't want to be buried in a desert where no one is around.
So, following all the way, they came to an inn in Riley City. The four thieves obviously had nowhere else to live, so they had to disguise themselves and live carefully in such a remote place.
After they entered the inn, another five minutes later, Benjamin also walked in.
He ignored the shopkeeper at the door, went straight upstairs, came to the door of the room of the four people, and knocked lightly on the door without being ready to move.
"Who?" the voice came from inside.
"Cleaned. Benjamin replied naturally.
So, with the sound of footsteps, the man inside walked to the door and opened the door. They didn't even notice anything wrong until Benjamin walked in with his head down and closed the door.
A few seconds later.
"Wait...... Aren't you cleaning?, why didn't you bring anything?" Finally, someone noticed that something was wrong and asked.
Benjamin shook his head, smiled, and said, "You guys are so blind!"
All four of them were stunned.
Along with Benjamin's words, countless water vapors also appeared at once, blowing the unsuspecting four people to the ground. As for the planks in their pockets, they were also carried out by the water vapor and delivered to Benjamin's hands.
Immediately after that, the wooden board was in the hands, but Benjamin felt a metal-like material, which was extremely smooth to the touch, and there was no roughness at all, as if it was ...... In his hands were several pieces of iron.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
So amazing?
He wanted to study this thing properly, but unfortunately, those four people were still in front of him. Therefore, he could only put the planks away and deal with the four panicked thieves first.
He walked over slowly, looking at the four of them condescendingly.
"Do you recognize it now?"
The four got up from the ground and glared at Benjamin with some fear.
"You...... You're the night watchman that night!" they took a few steps back, subconsciously reaching for their pockets, trying to escape with magic items, but their pockets were already empty.
Then they looked out the window behind them. I saw a thin layer of ice on the closed window. The ice continued to spread, and soon, the entire room was cordoned off, cutting off any possibility of their escape.
"Oops, awful......"
Then their expressions became bitter.
Benjamin smiled and said, "See you again." Is there any other way for you to escape from me this time?"
The expressions of the four of them were mixed with shock, fear and despair, and they were stunned for a moment, and in the end, they could only speak with some indignation: "You...... We're all disguised like this, how did you recognize us?"
Benjamin replied, "Yes, I just met you by chance on the street, and I saw you passing by me, and I recognized you." ”
“......”
The four of them were silent, with indescribable expressions on their faces. At that moment, they seemed to have been greatly insulted, and even lost the will to resist, and they collapsed there one after another, like four wilting bitter melons.
Probably they also knew that it was impossible for them to escape.
"After killing me, can you bury me a little?" suggested one of them, somewhat desperately, "it's better not to bury it in Riley City, it's too damp here for me to dislike." ”
Another said, "I don't want to bury it, just burn my body, please." ”
“......”
What do you think?
Benjamin was a little speechless, shook his head, and said, "Who said I was going to kill you?"
Suddenly, the four of them were stunned.
“...... Aren't you angry that we stole your stuff?" asked one man cautiously.
"Of course I'm angry. Benjamin nodded and said, "So, you have to do something for me." Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death. ”
"What's the matter?"
Benjamin glanced at them and said, "Take me to your elders." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the four changed again.
"This ...... Forget it. One person hesitated for a while, then said with a smile, "It's a long way on the road, and it's tiring, there's really nothing to see, so don't see it." ”
Benjamin let out a soft grunt that couldn't be heard with joy.
But in the heart.
Sure enough, that elder's actual combat ability was not very good. Otherwise, these thieves wouldn't have to panic so much.
