Chapter 135: Potato Fields and Belated News

"Hmm...... Do you want to ask about the plague in the lockdown city, or the super big water polo from some time ago?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

None of this was something Benjamin wanted to inquire about, but after hearing this, his eyes still lit up.

Fortunately, although these three people live in a remote place, they are not isolated from the world, and they know everything they should know. In this way, Benjamin should be able to get a lot of news from them.

The most afraid is the kind of guy who lives in seclusion, and if he really wants to meet such a person, Benjamin probably won't be able to ask anything.

So, thinking so, he immediately asked, "I know all of that." I want to ask, what happened after the royal capital reopened the city gates?"

But Nina shook her head and said, "This has just happened, how do we know." But Hal will be going to a nearby town this afternoon to buy us needlework and thread, so maybe he'll find out some!"

...... All right.

Benjamin was stunned at first, and then quickly realized that he was in a hurry.

Indeed, it was only yesterday that the church opened the gates of the royal capital, and the common people outside the royal capital, especially those who lived in seclusion, could not have inquired so quickly, even if they were well-informed.

I don't know what happened after he was pushed out of the carriage......

Especially when I think of the words Michelle said to him before pushing him down, there is a sense of déjà vu that is instantly full of flags. "If you can survive, go to XX country to find XXX", this is simply the current standard line of Lingben!

Could it be that Michelle chose self-sacrifice in order to save him and lured away all the pursuers of the church?

But...... And why did Michelle do this?

Benjamin suddenly had a strange feeling.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't think of a result. Therefore, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being, and wait for the three people to say "go to a nearby town to inquire about the news", and then think about the whole incident.

According to the system, the place where the cabin is located is quite remote, and the church will not be able to find it for a while. If he stays here for a few days, there shouldn't be any problem, and it won't affect these three people.

Seriously, being able to be saved, although Benjamin didn't quite understand why they saved him, he was still very grateful in his heart.

"That...... Thank you very much for saving me, and if there is anything needed, I will definitely help. So he said to the three of them.

However, Nina replied, "No, we brought you back in the hope that someone could play with Harry." ”

“...... Harry?"

Could it be that there is a fourth person living here?

Benjamin had a faint suspicion in his mind, but soon the two little girls introduced him to the new friend named "Harry".

At their urging, Benjamin got up and followed them out of the house. Outside the house was a small valley, and further down the valley, Benjamin saw a small field full of potatoes. The field is enclosed by a simple wooden fence with an ugly scarecrow in the center. However, there were several signs of the presence of beasts on the fence surrounding the fields.

And Harry, that scarecrow.

Listening to Nina's introduction, Benjamin quickly understood why these three people wanted to save him.

They just need a coolie.

"Harry is so lonely here every day, can you stay with him?" Nina suddenly pouted, showing a pitiful expression, and said to Benjamin, "Of course, it would be better if you could get rid of the troublemakers when you accompany Harry." ”

“......”

Benjamin was a little overwhelmed.

This year's little ghost, why are they like human spirits?

“...... Okay, I'll help you watch here. In the face of Nina's unusually "earnest" request, he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

There was no way, after all, he was rescued by others, and Benjamin could only admit it, and patiently helped them look at the fields. He also had plans to leave quickly, but if he thought about it carefully, he didn't have much ability to protect himself now, and he didn't know what the situation was outside, so it was better to hide here, at least his safety was guaranteed.

Who knows, now that he is in a hurry to feel that the people of the church will be caught on the other side of Pearl Lake?

At the very least, he'd have to stay here until the big man Hal goes to a nearby town, and then come back and get the news almost done, before he's sure what he's going to do next?

Before that, he could only help the three of them look at the ground for a while.

In this way, after the instructions, Nina led the other two away, and Benjamin sat down cross-legged on the edge of the field, looked around for a while, and then entered the space of consciousness again.

He wasn't really going to be a conscientious security guard. For such a long time, he could take advantage of it and continue the repair work of the crack.

As for the case if a wild beast comes to the field and causes trouble......

It doesn't matter, isn't there still a system?

"Do you know how rare it is to have an AI like me?" the system seemed to feel insulted, and there was nowhere to vent its anger, "And what happened? And you asked me to help you look outside, and a beast appeared and called you? In your eyes, that's all I can do? What do you think of me?"

“...... Chinese Pastoral Dog?" Benjamin replied after a moment's thought.

There was a sound of a mechanical malfunction, and if the system had a physical entity, it would have been smoking at the moment.

In this way, Benjamin "calmed" the system's emotions and let it obediently act as an alarm, while he threw himself into the long restoration project, constantly mobilizing the water element and pouring it into the huge crack in the consciousness space.

In fact, after these days of repair, the crack is already a quarter smaller than it was at the beginning. Benjamin estimates that in about a month or so, the entire consciousness space will be repaired.

One month...... It's been a bit long.

He couldn't hide in this little valley for a month.

Seriously, if the church is still desperately looking for him, let alone a month, Benjamin estimates that in half a month, that gang will be able to find this place, and maybe even less.

He was able to regain his combat strength as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I was really born with a hard life, and I can't be idle if I want to.

In this way, he repaired the cracks while letting the system guard the fields for him. Although there would be creatures such as squirrels and hog badgers running over to steal food, they were small animals and it was not a task to catch up, so Benjamin's restoration progress was not greatly disturbed.

At noon, his sister Sandy came over and brought him something to eat. However, my sister was more shy, so she didn't say anything, threw the two pieces of dry bread to Benjamin's side, turned her head and covered her face, and ran away.

The dry bread was hard and smashed hard into Benjamin's face, almost knocking his nose crooked.

“......”

A little girl who is more than six years old, where does she get such a big hand?

Benjamin took the bread, held it in his hand, and rubbed his face again. He looked at Sandy's back and was speechless for a while, but silently ate the bread.

After a little episode of lunch, Benjamin continued his work, and spent the whole afternoon repairing the cracks. In this way, time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is night. And Hal, the former bandit who went to the town to buy something, has finally returned here.

He brought two pieces of news to Benjamin.

The first one is about the plague that has been going viral in the royal capital recently, and it caused a big incident yesterday.

It is said that more than 30,000 people infected with the plague died at the same time yesterday. At this moment, the people of the entire royal capital were almost stupid, but the reaction of the church was also very fast. They distributed a pension to the families of each of the deceased, saying that the 30,000 people had died honorably in the struggle against the mage, and also stated that the mage who spread the "plague" had been eliminated by them, and that nothing like that would happen again, so that the people of the royal capital did not have to worry.

Therefore, although the royal capital is still not very peaceful, and many people are running out, many people have gotten the money, so the whole incident has not caused much dissatisfaction among the people.

However, Benjamin did not bother to care whether the church was rebelled by the masses.

Thirty thousand people died first, which was enough to shock him. He remembered clearly that when the curse was first placed, Michelle had said that this thing would not die. He didn't believe Michelle's words, but he didn't expect that Michelle could really do such a thing.

Obedient...... This is already an antisocial personality.

Benjamin sighed and palpitated.

When he first heard about this place, he felt that this was enough to shock him. However, he was stunned when he heard that "the mage who spread the plague has been eliminated".
