Chapter 22: The Devil Has Really Arrived
Although summoning a larger water balloon doesn't seem like a big deal. The pen and fun www.biquge.info can neither be used to attack the enemy, nor can it be used to protect oneself, let alone lift the curse that Michelle has placed on himself.
But the meaning behind the water polo is far greater than the water polo itself.
It showed Benjamin a path, a path that would lead to the powerful.
Although he didn't know how to learn new magic or perceive other types of elements, he was now convinced of his talent for magic, and he was gradually building up a sense of confidence in his heart.
In the face of magic, he finally didn't have a black eye!
"What's all the fuss, isn't it just letting the magic runes absorb the elements and grow. Is it hard to think of such a thing?"
"You've been getting worse and worse lately. Benjamin couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice.
"I was wrong, you were so genius. "The system learns at the speed of light.
“......”
Benjamin really didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Getting back to the point, he finally came back to his senses from his magic cultivation and returned to realistic considerations. He looked up and glanced at the closed iron door.
He had been in this basement for quite some time: the first rest, then Mary's visit, and then more than ten hours of studying magic...... If his calculation had not been wrong, it would have been early the next morning.
But he stayed in the basement, day and night, and he wasn't too sure.
When the hell will Claude get out of his breath and let him out?
His manservant, Jeremy, should have returned long ago with the mission he had ordered. Although Benjamin couldn't remember what he had Jeremy do, he had to keep Jeremy running errands, distract the church, and get Anne's inheritance as soon as possible.
Time is not urgent, but it is not abundant. Michelle's curse is like a ticking time bomb, who knows when it will explode. He was only afraid that the danger would come again, but he did not yet have the strength to compete with Michelle.
But...... It's useless to be anxious now.
His father's intentions were impossible to guess, and he didn't know how far Mary could persuade outside, and anything could happen in the world outside the door. Thinking of this, he sighed, and had to try his best to relax his mind and stop being in such a hurry.
No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't get through the wall and through the door to get out of this small basement.
Therefore, he relaxed instead.
He stared at the ceiling for a moment, recovering the energy he had expended on his "meditation". By the way, Benjamin has just decided to call the cultivation method of absorbing the water element into the character "meditation".
It sounds a bit old-fashioned, but the name is easy to remember. Benjamin thought so, and besides, he wasn't writing a novel, so why be so imaginative, and a cool and crazy name wouldn't make his "meditation" more efficient.
After a few minutes of stillness, he began to have nothing to do again. He's a little bit hungry, but not very hungry, he's a little bit sleepy, but not very sleepy either.
After thinking about it, he decided to continue "meditating".
He lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and pretended to be sleeping, lest anyone come in and think it was wrong. And in his heart, he had already sunk into the consciousness space again, and began to urge the water element again and again, enhancing the blue triangular rune in the center......
The process of meditation was quite slow, and he was not happy with it, but he could not find a way to improve it.
However, this meditation was not as long as the last time, and he did not integrate all the water elements in the consciousness space.
Because, when he was halfway through, he was suddenly interrupted by others.
It was the first time he had been called out in the space of consciousness.
It doesn't feel very good, it's a bit like being woken up not long after falling asleep, my head is a little dizzy, groggy, and my heart is a little unhappy. The call lingered in his ears, and he had to wake up from his stupor.
"Young Master, Young Master, it's time to wake up! Young Master!"
Benjamin opened his eyes and was startled at the sight of a large face in front of him.
After subconsciously stepping away from it, he reacted.
It was Jeremy, his valet.
Not only Jeremy, but there is another person standing in the basement at this moment. Benjamin's mother, Mary, was also standing at the door, looking at Benjamin with a soft smile. Behind her, the iron door that had been closed was wide open, and the basement, which had been dim, was much brighter.
Benjamin was stunned and quickly came back to his senses.
He can finally get out.
But he was not in a hurry, but looked outside the door, and when he saw that there was no one, he asked, "Father, didn't he come?
He deliberately used a more humble tone, making it look like he was afraid of Claude.
"Something seems to have happened to the fiefdom to the south, your father is gone, and he won't be back for about a week. Mary smiled and replied, "But before he leaves, let us let you out." So don't worry, your father won't be angry anymore. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
And not just because you can get out of the basement. Claude's departure is also good news for him. Although the fear on his face was only faked, in his heart, he also felt that Claude was troublesome and didn't want to face him very much.
"Thank you, Mother, I can't stay here any longer. Benjamin stood up and continued to look at Mary with a pitiful look.
"It's okay, we can leave. Mary smiled, turned to Jeremy, and ordered, "Take the young master back to the room." It's not too early, you bring something from the kitchen for the young master to eat, and then serve the young master to wash up and prepare for bed. ”
Jeremy hurriedly replied, "Yes, ma'am." ”
Accompanied by the two, Benjamin left the basement. Looking at the dark sky outside, he realized that it was already the next night.
He had spent a day and a night in this small basement. It can be seen that in the process of meditation, his sense of time is indeed quite dull.
Walking through the stairs and long hallways of the Reeser family, he was led back to his bedroom by Jeremy. And Mary, after saying goodnight to Benjamin, turned around and left, and went back to her room to rest.
"Young master, you wait first, I'll go find the cook to get you something to eat. ”
After entering the room, Jeremy said this to Benjamin and turned to leave.
Benjamin wanted to stop him and ask him how he had been told. But thinking that he would be back soon, Benjamin was not in a hurry.
After a long period of meditation, he was a little impatient at the moment. Tiredness came like a tidal wave, and he just wanted to fall into the soft and comfortable bed, and let him fall apart and sleep until he was old.
So he walked over to the bed, collapsed on his big bed, and rolled around stretching.
"Ah, I'll never get up again!" he shouted lazily.
"Really?" the system asked.
“...... Fake, I would like to, but reality does not allow it, the conditions are too difficult. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Benjamin sighed and replied.
Hearing this, the system was silent for a while, and suddenly the conversation changed and said in a low voice: "So, I thought you found something under your pillow?"
Benjamin stopped rolling.
"What's that?"
Hearing the seriousness of the system's words, his tone became serious.
"You ask me, you open it and take a look!" If the system had a face, then this sentence should have been said with a roll of eyes.
Benjamin was not verbose, and immediately opened his pillow. I saw that on Bai Huahua's bed sheet, there was a letter from Bai Huahua. The envelope was in good condition and there was no sign of anyone having opened it.
Seeing this scene, Benjamin seemed to think of something, and his heart sank on the spot.
"God forbid, don't let me be a crow's mouth. ”
With apprehension, he took a deep breath, picked up the letter, and glanced at it cursoryly. However, the worst happened. I saw the nightmarish name written on the back of the white envelope, with a black pen:
Michelle.
Benjamin felt a darkness in front of him.
In a fluke mentality, he also carefully read back and forth twice to confirm that he did not misread the name because of the scribbled notes. The result is still disappointing, the word, is "Michelle", yes, the real "Michelle".
Is this retribution?
Being able to deliver the letter to the pillow in his bedroom unknowingly under the watchful eye of the church, Michelle's method was indeed somewhat unexpected. And for Benjamin, this is not good news.
After repeatedly confirming with the system that he didn't know the other person named "Michelle", he kind of regretted the story he had written for the bishop.
"What should come is always coming. The system's tone suddenly became warm and friendly, "Whether it's a letter, a greeting card, or a text message, the voice of the dreamer will not stop." Deliver your yesterday, record your today, achieve your tomorrow, so that your dreams will not become slim because of the long distance. ”
“......”
Although he was a little speechless, after listening to the system's messy words, Benjamin's mood was not so nervous.
After calming down, he realizes that he is no longer a hostage in the hands of Michelle, who has long lost the power to kill him. With the support of the church, he can take the initiative.
When he was kidnapped, Michelle couldn't fight him. Now that he's free, there's nothing to fear.
No matter what Michelle says in this letter, no matter what traps await him, he just needs to deal with it calmly. Anyway, isn't there still someone from the church? He could have handed over the letter to the church and let the church handle it. The most powerful force in the entire continent can be regarded as his backing at this moment.
It's not that he believes in the church that much, he just knows that the church won't let a nobleman do this right under their noses.
Just give the letter to the church!
Thinking so, Benjamin no longer hesitated, raised his hand and opened the envelope conveniently.
Surprisingly, however, the first page and the first line of the letter were like a thunderbolt that completely disrupted all of Benjamin's plans. It reads:
"You are very talented in magic, and in ten days, I will come and teach you magic. ”
After a brief moment of astonishment, Benjamin realized that he had lost the option of giving his letter to the church.
He saw the intent behind the words.
In a short sentence, Michelle cut off Benjamin's possibility of turning to the church for help. He could not have given the letter to the Bishop, who would have discovered his magic on the spot if he had seen it. He will die faster than anything else. Therefore, the malice from this evil witch, he can only bear it alone.
Michelle seems to have a mind reader, and he can guess his mind clearly.
This was the most uncomfortable for him.
At this moment, Benjamin found that his situation did not change for the better. No, it should be said that it is worse. At least Michelle didn't know he could use magic before, and he relied on this to lead Michelle's army so that he could escape back to the Reeser family. But now, Michelle has taken advantage of this and started to counter him.
Does Michelle really teach him magic?
Maybe, maybe not. But whether she teaches it or not, Benjamin's life is still firmly in Michelle's hands. Unless the curse is lifted, he can only bow down to this woman.
Just a moment, cold sweat soaked Benjamin's shirt.
The game of death has started again.
The game of death never ends.
