Chapter 615: A New Batch of Mages
Such a scene made Benjamin extremely puzzled. So, after thinking about it for a while, he walked into the tavern alone and approached the mages disguised as civilians.
"Don't those two plan to come yesterday?"
"yes, they said there was no hope of staying here, so it was better to find a way out of the place. ”
Vaguely, Benjamin heard them talking. If you don't know who they are, you probably won't see anything in these words. But Benjamin immediately realized that the mages were also struggling with how to get through the gates.
Like the mages he had met, these people seemed to have formed some kind of secret association, discussing how to get through the gate every day.
I just don't know if their knot will be a trap for the church again
After all, he is also a mage, and there are old acquaintances in it, and Benjamin can't sit idly by, but it's not good for him to expose his identity here. So, thinking about it, he walked over and patted the short mage on the shoulder.
Suddenly, several mages turned their heads together and stared at Benjamin vigilantly.
"What's the matter?"
The short mage asked with a fierce look. Elizabeth also showed a puzzled look on the side, obviously, after such a long time, Benjamin was more well disguised, and they didn't recognize anyone.
Seeing this, Benjamin did not speak, but spread his palm and handed a small note.
The short mage took the note, looked at Benjamin twice, and handed it to Elizabeth next to her. Elizabeth opened it, her eyes changed slightly, and she immediately whispered to Benjamin, "Come with us." ”
Benjamin nodded.
The note was so small that he had no place to write his identity and origin, and there was only one word "mage" on it. However, he didn't expect that a small note would make Elizabeth believe him so quickly.
The tavern was full of people, and none of the mages said much. Elizabeth seemed to be their invisible leader, and everyone followed her and quietly left from here.
Benjamin followed her, walking around and around, until he finally came to a remote and uninhabited corner of the town.
"You're a mage too?"
After arriving here, several mages stopped and turned around. The short mage looked at him with a wink, and there seemed to be deep suspicion in his eyes.
For some reason, Benjamin felt a little like laughing.
"I Am"
However, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by an unexpected voice: "Hey, what are you doing there sneaking around, are you trying to steal?"
A few people turned around and saw a few soldier-like people standing on the corner of the street, frowning and looking over this way.
However, when they saw those soldiers, the two mages, one tall and one short, not only did not be afraid, but walked over with a big grin, greeting those soldiers with a smile, and looked like brothers.
"It's us, big brother, don't you remember us?"
And the soldiers seemed to recognize them.
"It's you boy, what are you doing here?" said one of the soldiers with a smile, "Do you still have the wine from last time?
"No, no, no, where did we get so much wine from the nobles? Big brother, you want my life."
The two mages and the soldiers exchanged pleasantries on the street corner for a while, and the soldiers laughed at their silliness. After a while, the soldier tapped them on the shoulder and turned away, ignoring their sneaky creatures hiding in the corner.
Watching all this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling impressed.
Is this a trap for the church? Or do the two brothers really have this kind of ability?
"Thomson and Jared have a good relationship with the Gatekeepers, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to hide in the town for so long. Elizabeth suddenly spoke at this moment, as if to explain the scene to Benjamin, "Maybe someone has such a talent that makes others unguarded." ”
When Benjamin heard this, he turned his head and looked at Elizabeth with some strange looks.
"You don't doubt me?"...
Elizabeth was silent for a moment before replying, "I can feel that you don't look like a member of the church. I may not have any other strengths, but I'm still very accurate in seeing people. ”
The two mages also walked back at this moment, giggling and laughing, and said, "Yes, she is very good at seeing people! There was a mage sent by the church who wanted to blend in with us, but she saw through it. She can see everything!"
Benjamin frowned when he heard this.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered that at that party, the room number where Grant was working with someone was reported to him by Elizabeth before leaving.
Is it accurate to see people?
However, the other party didn't seem to recognize him.
"Are you gathered here and trying to find a way to get through the gate?" thought this, Benjamin simply did not rush to reveal his identity, but asked.
Elizabeth nodded and said, "Yes, the gates are very tightly guarded, and it will be difficult for any mage to pass through their detection. I'll tell you the truth, we've been stuck here for months. ”
"And how many mages are there in the town now?"
"Not much. Seeing that there was no hope of leaving, many people stayed for a few days, and then left Kru Town one after another, and in the end, only a dozen or so mages remained. Elizabeth replied, "After all, this is also a very dangerous place, and the Church is extremely strict in its inspections. In the past, there were many mages specially trained by the church who wanted to blend in with us, and we finally killed them. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin glanced at several mages he hadn't seen before, and nodded thoughtfully.
This group of mages is quite mindful, and it seems that they don't have the eyes and ears to infiltrate the church like before. In other words, the church does not yet know the location of these mages.
Luckily, you don't have to worry about traps or information leaks.
"In that case, let's call all the other people here. Benjamin spoke, seemingly casually, "I can take you out of the kingdom of Hori." ”
“”
For a moment, the others present stared blankly at Benjamin, and the whole corner was silent.
"Are you serious?" was stunned for a moment before a mage on the side came back to his senses and asked with a strange expression.
Benjamin felt a wave of helplessness welling up in his heart.
"Of course it's true. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just came in from abroad today, so I can easily take you all out." ”
"Country, Abroad"
Suddenly, several mages looked dumbfounded.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but think of what he used to be. Before leaving the gate, he seemed to be similar to these mages, facing the unknown outside world with a longing and excited look, right?
In such a closed environment, it must be very difficult for a mage to come this far
"How did you get here?" asked Elizabeth.
"Flying from the side of the mountain. Benjamin thought for a moment and took out a few griffin feathers from his bag, "Although there are many magical beasts on the mountain, as long as you are strong enough, you don't need to be afraid of these beasts without intelligence. They are much easier to deal with than the people in the church. ”
When several mages heard this, they stared at the few shimmering feathers, and their jaws were almost closed.
They've all been in Crewe for so long, and they must know something about the nearby mountains. They knew how terrible the griffons on the mountain were, and how strong they needed to break through alone.
That's why their expressions became even more shocked.
"Senior, senior, you can actually break through from the mountain, can you accept me as a student?" asked one of the mages in a shudder.
Benjamin smiled: "No." ”
“”
In the midst of the adoring gaze, Elizabeth suddenly seemed to think of something, and stared at Benjamin with a strange look. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Then since you are a mage abroad and have been well abroad, why did you come to the hell of the Hori Kingdom?"
