This time, Benjamin really didn't know what to say.

No wonder Miles is so interested in the legendary holy sword, when a person only has three years left to live, no matter what, he will do everything he can to extend this period.

However...... The rusty broken sword didn't seem to be able to fulfill his wish.

Shaking his head, Benjamin walked over and picked up the broken sword again.

He tried to infuse it with spiritual power, but the spiritual power contained in the sword body was too huge, and the spiritual power was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was engulfed in an instant. And the broken sword itself didn't have any special reaction.

"Perhaps...... This sword can indeed lift the curse, but that is also because the spiritual power contained in it is very strong, and the curse is a special means of spiritual use. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again, "Your case, I don't think it's a curse in the strict sense of the word, and this sword won't be useful. ”

To say it so bluntly is quite impersonal. But...... This is a reality that everyone has to accept.

Miles laughed dryly and said, "Thank you, that sounds so exciting." ”

"Just because this sword is useless doesn't mean that other things are useless. Benjamin sighed and said, "Although I don't know how your constitution is formed, as long as you don't give up, there will always be hope." ”

Miles shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere fell silent, and Benjamin could only walk over, pat the other person on the shoulder, and said nothing more. After all, they're in the Valley of God's Forsaken now, not some tavern where they can chat casually.

When you get out of here, you might be able to go to the old man at the academy who is skilled in pharmacy and see if he can find a cure for Miles. For now, he's going to focus on the present.

From the other corpses, Benjamin found a total of four parchment scrolls, which contained different contents about the runes. He put them away, turned around and walked back again, and patted Miles on the shoulder.

“...... Let's get out of here. ”

Miles now looks less depressed, and can even smile as casually as before. But Benjamin didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of irritating the other party again, so he could only say this.

"Let's go. Miles nodded.

They looked around, found a fork in the road, and hurried out of the basin.

Benjamin also took out the ginkgo leaf.

The Valley of God's Forsaken has become a separate space, with no obvious exit in sight. If they want to return to the original world, they must only rely on this withered yellow leaf.

"How's it going? Did you detect any weak points in space?" asked Benjamin mentally as he searched all the way.

"When did I say I had this kind of ability?" the system said impatiently, "I'm going to ask you to take this leaf and find it slowly, I'm sorry, my ability is limited and I can't rise to such a high level." ”

“......”

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

It's a needle in a haystack!

According to his guess, something must have happened to the Valley of God's Forsaken after the brothers' decisive battle, causing the entire valley to break away from its original world and become a separate and broken space. And such a broken space, there will definitely be an edge of fracture.

All they had to do was walk all the way to the outskirts of the valley, and they should be able to reach the end and leave with the ginkgo leaves.

Of course, all this is really Benjamin's conjecture. It was difficult for him to come up with a definite answer to what was going on in this independent space.

Let's try it first.

After about two hours of driving through the valley, we followed the map and groped our way to the edge. But what he didn't expect was that they actually met another group of people on the road.

"How big is the Valley of God's Forsaken? Why have we walked for so long and still haven't found the Bishop's team? Where the hell have they been teleported?"

Hiding in a narrow path, Benjamin faintly heard this voice coming from next door.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

By induction, he could see two people in the next road. Dressed in black robes and holding a cross in their hands, they carefully moved forward while saying something to each other, apparently priests sent by the Church.

...... There are only two people, and they are separated from the big army?

Benjamin wanted to take action at that time and get rid of this group of people by the way. But then, a faint conversation in the distance made him stop his right hand from sketching the runes.

"Can we really find the Holy Sword here?"

"I don't know, this is the order from above. But the holy sword is a treasure given to us by God, and to lose it alone is already a great sin, and we must get it back. ”

"But I've heard that not all priests approve of the search for the Holy Sword. ”

"Wait...... You don't mean ......"

"Of course it's him. Who else in the whole Church but him can go against the will of the Bishop? He has inherited the power of the Holy Light left by several popes, and I have heard some rumors recently, and he is afraid that he will ...... It's time to be a pope. ”

"How is that possible? His Holiness the Pope is still in retreat, so how can there be any reason to appoint a new pope now?"

"His Holiness the Pope said it was a retreat, but ...... It's been so long, haven't you heard those rumors? It is said that the rumors were released by him, and many people have already fallen to him, and in a short time, the church is afraid that the sky will change. ”

He is a student trained by the bishop himself, if he ascends the throne, the bishop still sits firmly on the high platform, how can he change the sky?"

"No, Father Hans, you are naïve. You have to stand with me in favor of the pope......"

In this way, the two priests whispered to each other as they walked through the valley. Benjamin and Miles crouched in the fork in the road next door, and they didn't make a move until the priest walked a few hundred meters away.

"It's ...... Are you going to have a new pope?"

Benjamin muttered to himself.

He certainly knew who the new pope would be, and who the two priests had been talking about without naming. It's just that he didn't expect Grant to come this far so quickly.

Moreover, the struggle within the church was even worse than he had imagined.

If the previous pope did not die, the situation would certainly not have evolved like this, but ...... Benjamin was still a little stunned, although the pope was old, but when he was burned at the stake, he looked at the pope, and he didn't feel like an old man on the verge of death.

What happened in between?

After thinking about it, Benjamin shook his head.

Even these priests don't know the inside story, and it is estimated that it is difficult for them to understand.

In any case, the infighting in the church is definitely a good thing for them. After leaving the Valley of God's Forsaken, he can continue to cause riots in the kingdom of Hori, and when the queen's birthday comes, he can go to liberate the Mage's Guild.

And in the process, the church should not have much power to deal with them.

Even...... In case something happens to the church because of the papal succession, Benjamin can take the opportunity to start the plan to eradicate the church in advance.

Thinking of this, Benjamin felt that their future suddenly became a lot brighter. The church is not a bucket of iron, it has its own internal cracks, and the so-called overturning of the church is not something that will make people laugh when they say it.

They really ...... There is play.
