Chapter 607: Captive
After the elemental turbulence is gone,.。 But Benjamin brought them all into the water elemental realm in time, and then built a tall wall of ice, signaling the other party not to think about anything they shouldn't have.
Therefore, they had to start answering questions obediently.
"Theater thing...... It was an accident that someone snitched the church, so Lord Aix had to sacrifice some of his people in order for more people to survive. ”
Benjamin raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
To be honest, although he was there at the time, it was a long time ago. Maybe the Fuer family also secretly trained another group of mages, but it was just ...... Why did they come to Freden and attack the students of the academy?
It can't be that Ax has a grudge until now, so he's going to seek revenge on Benjamin, right?
"Since you're not from the Church, why are you intercepting my students?" he stared at the other coldly, his eyes hinting murderous, as if he was not happy and was about to throw these mages into the elemental turbulence.
“...... It's what Aix-sama means. The middle-aged mage hesitated for a moment and replied, "The church has begun to secretly suppress the aristocratic forces of the Hori Kingdom again, and several families have been arrested and sent to the purification center for various reasons. Lord Aix was upset, so he ...... I want to get in touch with foreign mages and leave a way back for myself. ”
Benjamin let out a disdainful sneer.
"If you want to get in touch with us, why don't you just go to the academy to find me, but kidnap my students?" he said slowly, "What is that old fox scheming about, do you think he can really fool me?"
Although he didn't understand what was going on inside the Hori Kingdom right now, he wasn't stupid enough to do that. The lies made up by the middle-aged mage in a panic were too careless.
"You ......"
The middle-aged mage was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I have to invite you to our academy as a guest." It's just that...... I don't know what Ax will think about the dozens of mages that he has cultivated with great difficulty. ”
When the middle-aged mage heard this, he exchanged a look with his companion on the side, and finally said, "Actually...... We don't know what the adults want to do. We just got the order to bring this group of students back. ”
Benjamin frowned.
Whether this was true or not, he couldn't tell for a while, but even if it was true, he didn't intend to just let these mages go. Are you kidding? If it weren't for Benjamin following the team, the first batch of top students that had been trained with great difficulty would have disappeared at this moment!
Therefore, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, please come with me. Don't worry, if Ax really values you, I think he'll come forward and not let you die like the mages in the theater. ”
"You ......"
Benjamin interrupted him, and continued, "How is it? Do you want me to beat you half to death, or do you follow me?"
To be honest, his attitude at the moment is really a bit arrogant.
However, those mages looked at each other with expressions of helplessness. They are also well aware of their situation, and there is no other way out except to obediently follow Benjamin.
Therefore, they fell silent and said no more.
Seeing this, Benjamin also nodded.
"Don't worry, the problem has been solved. He turned to the students and said, "You stay here for a while, and I'll ask the academy for help." In about half a day, the mages from the academy will be here to help me escort these mages back. You continue your internship. ”
When the students heard this, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but they could only nod their heads.
Benjamin turned back again, glancing at the mages.
"I hope you will be smart and don't think about things that you shouldn't have. I'm watching you all the time. ”
In this way, Benjamin and his party temporarily set up camp in this place. Those dozens of mages who claimed to be from the Kingdom of Hori were gathered, and the system kept an eye on them at any time, as for the remaining ordinary people...... In fact, by now, they are almost dead.
Of the few who were alive, Benjamin interrogated them a little, but he didn't know anything.
However, it can be confirmed that these people are all from the Kingdom of Hori and are inextricably linked to the Fuer family.
Benjamin still finds it a little incredible.
With the living environment inside the Hori Kingdom, the Fuer family was able to cultivate so many mages, and the strongest of them had even reached the point where they could quickly chant high-level magic...... Is it possible for the church to sit idly by and watch this happen?
Or is there something unknown going on in the kingdom?
At the thought of the Kingdom of Hori, Benjamin also felt a little headache. Before he left, the kingdom had been plagued by open and secret strife between the nobility and the church. Although he felt that the nobles had always been below, their kraft candy abilities were also somewhat unexpected.
Able to transport so many mages through the Crusade Gate...... What kind of means is this?
Could it be that Aix's money is already so large that some priests can betray the faith, not even care about the hatred of the mage, and secretly help the nobles behind their backs?
It's weird......
Benjamin used the sound transmission wood chip to send a message, and about half a day later, more than a dozen mages from the academy flew in the sky. After they landed, they exchanged information with Benjamin, and then used the forbidden chains they had brought with them to shackle the mages of the Fur family and led them out of here.
And Benjamin ...... He himself must not be able to follow these students anymore.
His identity has been exposed, and if he continues, the internship will not have the slightest effect on exercise. Therefore, he can only return to the academy together and let Layla take these students to the Mercenary Association.
They were also almost out of the desolate area. When they get to a crowded place, there shouldn't be any bad guys jumping out to surround them again.
In this way, a group of people took the captives, and it took about a few days to return to the Academy of Magic.
Benjamin locked them up in several other spare basements.
"Do I need to write a letter to Aix, or he may not know that I have invited you to the Academy. In the basement, Benjamin looked at the middle-aged mage and said.
“...... Possibly. ”
"Well, I need his contact details. Benjamin said slowly, "You should have some secret contact between you, tell me about it, I need to bypass the church's surveillance and tell him the news." ”
