Chapter 840: A Ploy to Leave the Royal Capital
Hearing this, Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly.
To be honest, his mood at the moment is not much better. No matter how many kind words the other party uses, this kind of behavior is no different from the grass on the wall. Even...... If he had been planted in St. Peter's Basilica at that time, Duke Colin and the other nobles would have fallen directly to the side of the church, and might have used this to ask for credit.
- The nobles don't care who wins or loses, they just want the two sides to fight and gain for themselves.
Such a move is understandable, but from Benjamin's point of view, he no longer intends to treat Duke Colin as his own. Maybe Elizabeth didn't know everything about this, maybe she did, but ...... In any case, Benjamin didn't need to talk to Duke Colin about anything.
Since the nobles want to use them, let each other be with each other.
"If you really care about the safety of His Majesty, then send people to make trouble. He spoke slowly, "Now that the church is under lockdown, no one can leave here without knowing it. I can force a breakthrough with Your Majesty, but ...... That would be a complete exposure of my movements. ”
When Duke Colin heard this, he showed a hesitant look.
“...... Your Excellency wants to leave with Your Majesty?"
"yes, or else you have to hide under the nose of the church for the rest of your life?"
"No, no, no, my advice is that Your Majesty had better not leave Haven Lite. Duke Colin immediately advised, "The current situation in the country is chaotic, and it is the best chance to regain power." We are planning a mutiny, most of the nobles have already gathered together, and as long as His Majesty the King participates, we have a great chance of pulling back the control of the Kingdom Army!"
...... Mutiny?
The aristocracy still has this ability and guts?
Benjamin felt a pang of irony in his heart. If they really had the determination to turn against the church, they wouldn't have to rescue the king and report to the church at the same time. Therefore, the credibility of this statement is really open to assessment.
However, Duke Colin's intentions were already obvious.
"Do you want to hand over Your Majesty to you now?" Thinking of this, Benjamin pretended not to understand, and suddenly showed a seemingly innocent look, and asked.
Duke Colin nodded.
"But...... In the process of rescuing, His Majesty suffered a special divine trauma. Benjamin directly turned on the nonsense mode, "Coupled with the evil magic before, I have to use magic to treat him every few hours, otherwise, he probably won't last long." ”
When Duke Colin heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Your Majesty will be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, although he is seriously injured, I have the ability to save him. Benjamin said without changing his face, "It's just that in these months, he must not leave me for more than an hour, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Hearing this, Duke Colin put away his worries, but his face was definitely not very good-looking.
"The mutiny...... thing"
"When are you going to stage a mutiny?" asked Benjamin rhetorically.
"Just a week later. Duke Colin said solemnly, "This kind of thing can't be delayed, if it drags on any longer, the Pope may come back from the Warcraft Mountain Range, and then things will become more troublesome." ”
"That's right...... I'll go back and plan for a while. In a few days, I will give you an accurate answer. ”
With that, Benjamin turned around and prepared to leave the box in the casino. Duke Colin was taken aback by his sudden move, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "How can I contact you?"
Hearing this, Benjamin turned his head, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll contact you if necessary." ”
After that, he bypassed Duke Colin and walked straight out of the door. Casino guests come and go, and soon, he blends into the crowd, throws off all eyeliner, and disappears without a trace.
Duke Colin looked in the direction he had left, stunned for a moment, and looked a little agitated.
About half an hour later.
"What do you think...... Is their plan to mutiny real?" asked Benjamin, walking on the main road of the outer city, towards the system.
"Maybe it is!" the system said casually, "although they certainly don't have the guts, but the mutiny sounds very interesting, so I'll vote for it first." ”
“......”
Benjamin rubbed his temples and began to regret why he had asked the system.
However, it is true that the system says that the nobles may really have this ability, but they cannot have the courage. Duke Colin should have said it to bluff him, or there was something else hidden in the plan. The aristocracy was so desperate to get the king, there must have been another use.
Benjamin couldn't guess and didn't want to.
This time, he did not plan to cooperate with these nobles again, but to come according to his own wishes. The Kingdom of Hori is a stubborn religious country, and it is much more difficult to correct the name of the mage than in other places. Therefore, Benjamin had to hold the king firmly in his hands.
Only by relying on the power of the word "king" can they gain the trust of the people and wash away the dirty water that the church has spilled on them as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the king is in his hands, so the nobles will have to lean more towards him.
And the first step for Benjamin is to take the king out of the royal capital out of everyone's sight, and leave in a direction that no one can guess.
...... Escape from the royal capital?
He nodded thoughtfully, returned to his residence, met with his two siblings, and soon came up with a way to do so without resorting to nobles.
That night.
"That demon wouldn't have escaped a long time ago, but we're still here guarding like fools......"
On the walls of Havenlite, several of the guards had tired faces on their faces and couldn't help but complain.
During this time, they were so busy that they almost didn't even have time to close their eyes, searching house to house during the day, and guarding the city gates at night, always keeping an eye on the movements in the vicinity, which made them feel a lot of resentment in their hearts.
"Don't say it, be quiet, in case the priest hears you, it's good for you!"
"But...... We've searched for days, and the cemetery in the north has been dug up, and if that guy was still in the city, we would have found it a long time ago!"
"Shhh......hh Be quiet, ......"
Several soldiers said in this way, but at this moment, a loud bang sounded from above them, boom, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!
They were so shocked that they almost peed their pants on the spot.
"How, what's going on......"
They looked up tremblingly and into the air, only to see a familiar figure floating over Havenley. Countless streams of water surrounded that person, like a moat guarding the royal capital.
That person faced the holy light barrier of the royal capital, and a fist glowing with blue light appeared in the eyes of the soldiers again. Behind the man, there was a vague blister, and in the blister seemed to contain a middle-aged man.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, the soldiers immediately reacted.
"Quick...... Tell the adults of the church! That demon, that demon has appeared with His Majesty!"
