Chapter 423: The Stalking Thief

Eventually, with enough seeds of enlightenment left in this grassland, Benjamin and the others finally walked out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Beyond the steppes are wide flatlands and towns. They quickly entered a small town called Hunter Town and took up residence in a hotel. Killing all the way out of the grassland, killing an unknown number of wolves, is hard enough for them. Now back to the ordinary human town, you have to take a good breath.

And the town in front of me is much more normal and civilized than the people and things encountered in the grassland.

- Except for the fact that there is basically no trace of the mage.

With so many Warcraft materials in their hands, Benjamin and the others must want to get rid of it. However, after searching, he found that there was not even a single trace of a mage in the entire town, let alone a potions shop.

...... Desolation like this?

Benjamin was also surprised. Immediately after the rest, he sent his mages out to find out the news. They ran to a tavern or something, knocking on the side of the people they met by chance. Eventually, they came to the conclusion that most of the people in the small town knew about magic and had heard of mages, but they were all telling the rumors.

"I know! My dad used to tell me a lot about magic, but I'm so old that I haven't seen a single mage, and I don't know if it's someone else's story. ”

In the tavern, a slightly drunken man patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said this to him.

Benjamin was slightly embarrassed.

I wonder how the other party would feel if they realized that the person sitting across from him now was a mage, or a famous mage?

However, after frequent questioning, they were gradually able to determine that it was not so common that people here had never heard of a mage. But for this town, the mages have not appeared for too long, so long that they have begun to forget and doubt.

The more Benjamin thought about it, the more he felt that this state of affairs was quite weird.

Where have the mages gone?

After some discussion with the other mages, Benjamin decided not to stop here and look more in the center of the country to see if he could find some clues about the mages.

There won't be a branch of the Mage Freemasonry in such a small town, so ...... There should be one in a big city, right?

Also, when Benjamin was making a newspaper before, he was looking for Carretus's newspaper. At that time, the other party's attitude was very normal, and he didn't make a fuss when he saw the mage. If Benjamin really doesn't have a clue, he can ask them.

On the other hand, Benjamin had to rediscover some income for them.

In the current situation, these mages followed him out of his homeland and obeyed all his orders, and he had to raise more than a hundred people like an army. Benjamin still has money, and he has four figures of gold coins left in the vault, but he can't keep eating Ben.

To put it bluntly, he had to find a place to settle down, like Riley City, as their first stronghold in Carretus.

For various reasons, they did not stay in the town for long, and after buying some supplies, they left again and headed for the heart of Caritus. Benjamin no longer wanted to avoid anything, and directly set the destination as the capital of the country - Grory.

The Mage Freemasons must have had a branch there, and the previous newspaper office was very close, not to mention the existence of the Mercenary Guild, which would allow Benjamin to reopen a few new incomes and allow him to find Miles' traces.

As for what may have been the territory of the Church already...... They just need to be careful, when the water elemental induction method is swept away, it is impossible to find nothing.

However, a few days after leaving Hunter Town, things started to go wrong again.

"Be careful, there's someone following you. ”

In the pitch black wilderness, they camped in the wilderness. Benjamin was still resting in the tent when the system suddenly spoke, reminding in a rare serious tone.

Benjamin was stunned.

He immediately turned on the water elemental perception method and probed outside the team, and soon, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

A couple of guys sneaked up behind the group.

Truth be told, after they entered the town, they still disguised their identities. A team of 100 people is still quite eye-catching, and he himself knows very well that he still uses the identity of a caravan. In order to leak the rumors, they have never used magic in front of people.

But...... They still seem to be being targeted.

Through the water elemental sensing method, Benjamin can confirm that there are three people on the other side, non-spellcasters, with several bottles of potions on their bodies, and they look a bit like thieves. They don't have any tokens on them that can identify them, so Benjamin doesn't know who they are.

After observing for a while, the three men did not seem to have any inclination to make a move, and seemed to have been sent someone to keep an eye on them.

Benjamin couldn't help frowning.

At that moment, he really wanted to take action directly and arrest these three people back for a good interrogation. It's just that thinking of the possibility of startling the snake, he still resisted this impulse.

Since I'm here to keep an eye on it, there will definitely be a time to deliver the news. He just had to wait until then.

Therefore, he pretended not to find anything, and slept in the tent, instructing the system to keep an eye on the movements of the three men.

The next day, there were no overt surprises. The mages set off as usual, and the three sneaky fellows followed their group, cautiously touching forward.

Soon, one of them pulled out a piece of paper and began to write letters.

Benjamin's heart moved.

Here it comes.

He immediately went over there.

On the head of the letter, he clearly sensed the title - His Majesty the King.

Groove ......

At that moment, Benjamin's mood was a little stunned. How long have they been in Carretus, and now they have been noticed by the king? and the king and the church here are in the same group, doesn't that mean ...... The church is aware of their existence!

Oops.

At that moment, a strong sense of crisis emerged, and Benjamin's mood instantly became tense.

"It's just too slow. At that moment, he was walking on the road, suddenly showed an impatient look, and said, "Now that there is no one around, let's use the flying one." ”

The surrounding mages turned their heads when they heard this. They didn't know why Benjamin said this suddenly, but they seemed to prefer flying to a carriage.

Therefore, although the mages were a little confused, they were quite happy and did not object.

They stopped, unloaded the wagon, chanted a mantra, and finally, lifted the wagon with their belongings...... The three unresponsive assassins were left far behind.

The speed of the flight is still very fast, and everything behind them is thrown farther and farther away by them.

It took about half an hour to fly.

"Just in the back, someone followed us, it was King Caritus' men. There was no one else around, and Benjamin didn't need to pretend anymore, and said with a solemn face, "The church may have discovered our presence. ”

Hearing this, all the mages were stunned.

"No......" Wallis was a little incredulous, "and we hid very carefully after we left the prairie. Unless word has spread on the prairie, they shouldn't be alert. ”

"yes. Benjamin nodded.

He didn't understand what was going on.

From the time the news reached the king, the king pondered, consulted with the church, and finally sent someone to follow them, which took at least ten or twenty days to react. It had been less than twenty days since they had entered Carretus, how could the other party react?

Unless...... They had known for a long time that Benjamin was coming to Carretus.
