It took a few hours for Benjamin to get closer to Amber City.

The many hurdles stuck in front of him also made him feel the pressure from the church. According to the news from passers-by on the side, it is said that this area is infested with bandits, so it is blocked by the army, and everyone who enters and exits must go through strict inspection.

Bandits...... It's still an old excuse.

Benjamin shook his head.

It was close to night, but the soldiers still didn't look like they were resting, and they lined up like a border, firmly sealing off the entire area. Benjamin also had to sigh that these people were really dedicated.

As for the priests around......

Because by coming to power in the name of the "state religion", the priest can walk in the public eye openly. However, under Benjamin's induction, most of the priests still hide their identities. Some people even pretend to be caravans, pretending to be ignorant passers-by, and line up at the edge of the checkpoint. Benjamin almost heard them when he inquired about the news, and he couldn't take them off guard.

Do you still need to ask? The priest brigade that surrounded and suppressed them before has now all moved here.

However, judging from the news that Wallis sent to him, the situation inside was relatively chaotic, there were many people blocking the road, and innocent pedestrians who were surrounded were also complaining. The mages are mixed in and are safer for the time being.

Therefore, Benjamin is not in a hurry. He sat down at the edge of the checkpoint and waited patiently for the fake Benjamin to take the king and his apprentice to wreak havoc in the village to the east. The church was disrupted by the disinformation, and they were able to break through.

"What has happened recently? A few days ago, we were blockading the southeast, and now we are sealing this blockade, saying that it is to catch the bandits, but how long has it been since we arrested them, and why haven't they been caught yet?"

"I don't know, Glori's side has been mysterious lately, and I've heard a lot...... That kind of rumor. ”

"Shhhh......h

Benjamin sat on the side and rested, and set up a tent for himself. But beside his tent, several Orions chatted around the campfire, and their words naturally reached Benjamin's ears.

That kind of rumor......

Suddenly, Benjamin's heart moved.

He suddenly stepped out of the tent and spoke to the hunters, "That...... Have you heard that rumor too?"

The hunters turned and looked at him with some wariness.

Benjamin immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm a carpenter, and I won't spread your word everywhere." I was going back to the village to visit my parents, but when I came back, the road became like this, stuck here like you, and I don't know when I will be able to pass. ”

Several hunters looked at each other and looked at Benjamin suspiciously, "Are you from Amber City?"

Benjamin nodded, "Yes, 35 North Street, Targari Carpenter's Shop." You've heard of it, right?"

The hunter looked at Benjamin a few more times, and finally nodded.

- They seem to believe the identity that Benjamin just made up.

Benjamin then asked, "By the way...... The kind of rumor you just talked about can't be the one that has been particularly popular in the village during this time? ”

"Little brother, be quiet. The hunter looked around in horror and said in a low voice.

Benjamin also lowered his voice and continued: "I know, they all said that the news was deliberately released by the bandits, including this blockade inspection. But...... I've heard that this blockade has nothing to do with the bandits. ”

Suddenly, the hunters were also interested.

"And what are they sealing this up for?"

Benjamin said slowly: "Because in Amber City, there is a plague suddenly!"

When the hunters heard this, they were all taken aback: "Plague? How is it possible? If there is really a plague, how can we not hear any news?"

"That's because the army has blocked the news. Benjamin swore that "the plague had just appeared in the city when a few sick people were discovered by the army." Because I was afraid of causing panic, I used the excuse of talking about bandits, but in fact, I just didn't want the plague to spread outside. ”

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true, I have an uncle who was a food officer in the army, and he told me. Now the plague has not yet broken out, and the people in the city do not know, but in another week...... Wait and see!"

Seeing Benjamin's troubled appearance, several hunters couldn't help but look at each other, revealing nervous expressions.

"This ...... If that's true, isn't that a big deal?"

"yes. Benjamin followed the other party's words, and also held his forehead with a distressed expression.

Suddenly, several hunters fell silent, as if thinking about what they would do if there really was a plague outbreak.

Seeing this, Benjamin was silent for a moment, and then asked, "That's it, are you still going back to the city?"

"What if you don't go back?" a hunter sighed, looking worried, "There are still wives and children at home, and I have to bring them out quickly while the plague has not yet broken out!"

When Benjamin heard this, he agreed: "Yes...... My cousin is also in Amber City. My uncle can't reach her, so please let her out!"

When the hunters heard this, they patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said nothing.

The news of the plague was like a bomb, and they were talking happily around the campfire, but now they all fell silent. After a while, they went back to their tents to rest, preparing to get up early tomorrow, line up to pass the checkpoint, and hurry back to the city to bring the people out.

Benjamin also returned to his tent.

Faded away from the bitter expression he played, and he showed a sly smile.

"It's all too easy for these people to believe what others say. The system suddenly spoke in his head, and said in a disgusted tone, "You said there was a plague, and they really believed it?"

Benjamin shook his head and said in his heart: "Like this kind of news, most people would rather believe it than not, after all, you can't make a big mistake if you are careful." ”

The system continued its disdainful tone: "You're proud again." A good place has blown a plague for you. Now, the church will be out of control again. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Thanks for the compliment." ”

When he heard the conversation of the hunters, this thought came to him.

The church brought people over and cordoned off the area for a short period of time, which was obviously very hasty. Many people who want to come out can't get out, and those who want to go in can't get in. Therefore, there will be dissatisfaction in people's hearts.

In general, this dissatisfaction will have little effect, but ...... If Benjamin adds some spice to it, it could turn into a ticking time bomb.

And a plague that does not exist is the best seasoning at this moment.

Originally, the situation in Carretus has been a bit precarious these days. The church used the false king to come up with several abrupt decrees, and the news spread by Benjamin, the credibility of their government was invisibly weakened. Such an extremely sudden blockade must have also caused a lot of confusion in people's minds.

People will think - is it really just to catch the bandits? Isn't there another reason?

Benjamin also only pandered to this idea.

As long as the people in this area believe in the existence of the plague, it is absolutely impossible for the church to seal this area again. What are you kidding, people are deadly, and no one wants to be trapped in it and get sick, so they will definitely run out vigorously. And the church, which everyone has to check for a long time, will kill the people.

They're going to make a riot.

Of course, if you really want to say it, Benjamin is just spreading the fake news to these hunters at the moment. They really want to blow a plague out of nothing, and finally reach the point of riot, they still have a lot of work to do.

Thinking so, Benjamin ducked away, picked up the sound transmission wood piece again, and activated it.

"Aren't you stuck in traffic and mingling with a lot of people who want to leave?" he said slowly, with a hint of malice on the corner of his mouth, "Attention, starting tomorrow, spread a message to the crowd......"
