Although Benjamin didn't ask what he wanted to ask, he still got quite a bit of information from Michelle's words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, the church is hunting him, which means that the church has recognized his identity. Secondly, the Church has sealed off the royal capital, and his current situation is very dangerous, that is, he is still in the royal capital. The whole king is still fine, and he has not been blown up by a water balloon.

Thinking about it this way, this dimly lit small house should be Michelle's secret stronghold in the royal capital.

However, the biggest question in his heart has not been solved.

After he lost consciousness, what happened at the scene of the execution?

"It's better for you to tell me what happened after I fainted. He asked in his mind, to the system.

Michelle just wasn't straightforward enough to speak. If you want to ask things clearly from her, it will definitely take a lot more words, and Benjamin might as well ask the system directly.

――Tell Benjamin what happened when he fainted, isn't that what the system has always been doing?

"Your balloon burst open and turned into a stream of pure water, almost crushing the king. The system dutifully began the narrative as well, "But you fainted after all, there was no one to perform the magic, and the water did not exert its true power and dissipated quickly. The Pope is also not a vegetarian, and he stretched out a big barrier to block it. So in the end, there may be some illegal buildings that you have washed away, but you have not caused any casualties. ”

Speaking of this, the system paused before continuing: "Of course, a period of chaos must be inevitable, many people are either frightened and fainted, or stunned by the water falling from the sky, and the rest of the people are chaotic. ”

However, hearing this, Benjamin actually felt a little disappointed.

That's it, huh?

Well, there were no innocent casualties, which is actually a good thing. However, in this regard, Benjamin actually had a faint feeling of regret, as if the water balloon he had worked so hard to make should be more explosive, not so thunderous and rainy.

...... How did you become so mad?

It's not good, the world is so wonderful, and I'm so grumpy, it's not good.

While Benjamin adjusts his mindset, the narrative of the system continues.

"But don't be too disappointed, there was a flood before the water was dispersed back into the water element. Several aristocrats clung to the planks and clung to the planks for help, just like the scene of the disaster on television. And the church, the pope is so busy with you that he doesn't have time to care about you. Because of this, while the Pope was unable to move his hands due to the disturbance of the current, several people suddenly rushed out of the crowd and saved you from the cross. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Robbing the Dharma?

It's a pity that such a wonderful plot actually made him miss it......

"Did Michelle do it?" he asked in his mind after a moment's thought.

"No, those people have nothing to do with Michelle. Michelle only found you later. However, the system replied, "It was the man hired by Claude who rescued you from the cross and took you away from the scene in the chaos." ”

Benjamin was stunned.

...... Was it Claude who saved him?

Is it the one who is uncomfortable if he doesn't scold him every day, who is dissatisfied with him every day, and who doesn't have a good face, his cheap father - Claude Reese?

Mixed emotions came up all at once, and suddenly, Benjamin didn't know what to say.

It was an answer he hadn't expected at all.

It just so happened that in reality, Michelle also walked to the bedside and threw a letter in his hand.

"I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, look at this letter, your father's letter to you, after reading it you should understand what is going on. "When I took you from those men, they gave me the letter, and I must pass it on to you." ”

Benjamin froze in place, not knowing if it was the news that made him unable to react, or if the headache made him speechless.

However, he quickly came to his senses, took a deep breath, and picked up the letter in his hand. He opened the letter and read it silently with an indescribable feeling.

The letter was so short that it took Benjamin less than five minutes to read it. But after reading it, he sat there and was silent for a long time.

In fact, in this letter, Claude did not mention any related words. He didn't say why he wanted to save Benjamin, nor did he express how surprised he was that Benjamin was a mage. He just said on it: Since you have learned magic, let's study it well, and stop hanging around all day and not doing business. Although magic is not tolerated by the church, it can be regarded as a good thing, and it can develop well even if you hide abroad.

The wording of the letter was rather cold and hard, and it was still the tone that Claude had always taught Benjamin, telling Benjamin to do this and that, and making Benjamin want that and that. Benjamin could have imagined what Claude would have been like when he said these words.

However, in the face of this familiar precept, Benjamin's mood was very different from before.

Actually...... It's really Claude.

While he was framed by Mary and taken away by the Paladins, Claude was still inspecting the territory outside. Therefore, although Benjamin was not angry with Claude, he never expected much from Claude.

Therefore, Benjamin never imagined that it would be Claude who would come out to save him in the end.

Let the most disappointing eldest son die instead of the much-anticipated younger son, even if Claude is dissatisfied with this method, he should accept this result silently......

But Claude didn't.

Claude chose to take a huge risk, preferring to be suspected, investigated, and ...... I also want to save my eldest son, who usually doesn't want to look at him, from the cross of the church.

Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly felt a little tightness in his chest. Complex and indescribable emotions lingered in his heart.

There was silence for a long time, and in the end, he could only clench the letter in his hand and take a deep breath, trying to relieve the emotions in his chest.

"Don't be too upset, it's not that your father doesn't want to show up to see you in person. Michelle, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, and said, "After that day, the church launched an investigation into the entire Rieser family, and your father could not see you in order to avoid suspicion. ”

Benjamin was silent for a while.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth with a blank face and asked, "Do I look sad?"

"It's not sad, it's more guilty. "But, for the sake of your face that is about to cry, yes, you look sad." ”

Benjamin sighed and fell back into bed, staring vacantly at the ceiling.

"Thank you, your words are so comforting. ”

Seeing this, Michelle could only shake his head and said, "I understand your current mood, but the current situation doesn't have much time to make you sad." ”

With that, she walked to the door, held the door, turned to look at Benjamin, and continued: "I'll go out first to inquire about the situation, and I'll be back in an hour, I hope by then, you've adjusted yourself." ”

After saying that, she didn't care whether Benjamin responded or not, opened the door, and left.

Now, in the dimly lit little room, only Benjamin was left. He lay on the bed, suddenly closed his eyes forcefully, and let out a long sigh.
