Benjamin walked through the crowd, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to what everyone around him was talking about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The steaks here are well cooked, but I've heard that there's an old restaurant in the west of town where the steaks are the best and the prices are cheaper than here. ”

"You say, why is that Bonnie's tavern out of town closed?"

"Beautiful lady, please stay. Excuse me, have we met somewhere?"

“......”

Listening to these complicated conversations, Benjamin almost felt like he had started an English listening test. That's right, Mr. Jack, Ms. Nancy doesn't want to eat with you tomorrow afternoon, so I'm going to pick C for this question.

The more he heard, the more disappointed he felt.

It's all unnutritious conversations, and the lives of these young aristocrats are simply boring to a certain extent. He didn't listen to the recent movements of the church.

But he wasn't discouraged yet. The party had just begun, and everyone hadn't taken a few sips of wine, and they still had scruples when they spoke. Don't rush, just wait until they drink it.

Benjamin also picked up a piece of soft bread from the table and took a few bites, and it tasted good.

"Grant, long time no see, I didn't expect you to be here. ”

Suddenly, I don't know who patted Benjamin on the shoulder from behind and said this.

Benjamin turned around in amazement, only to see a girl with long ginger hair standing behind him, wearing a small white gown, looking at him with a smile.

“......”

Benjamin swallowed the bread in his mouth with a blank face, and then said, "I'm not Grant, I'm Benjamin." ”

The girl's smiling face disappeared in an instant, revealing an expression of "the old lady doesn't want to pay attention to you", and she almost rolled her eyes.

However, probably out of politeness, after this series of wonderful face changes, she smiled reluctantly, regained her ladylike posture, and said to Benjamin, "I'm sorry, I was rude." ”

Benjamin looked indifferent: "It's okay. ”

After saying that, he ignored the other party, took the bread in his hand, and nibbled on it.

Seriously, being mistaken for someone, especially when accosted by someone else, is not a pleasant experience. Therefore, he can't be blamed for being too cold.

However, to his surprise, the red-haired girl didn't turn away.

"That...... Have you recently ...... It is...... How's your health?"

I only heard her rambling and stumbling, but she held back such a sentence for a long time.

Benjamin looked at her in surprise.

"Didn't you recognize the wrong person?

The red-haired girl pursed her lips helplessly, suddenly lowered her voice, and said, "What's the solution, my two sisters also mistook you." I made a bet with them that I would be able to strike up a conversation with Grant for at least half an hour. It's come to this point, just go back like this, they must think that admitting their mistakes is an excuse, and it's strange that they don't laugh to death!"

“......”

You city people really know how to play.

Benjamin was speechless. He also has something to do here, and he doesn't have time to play a game of "who is the most attractive little princess" with these girls.

He didn't have much interest in the girl either. Everyone is coming for Grant, so why should he be amorous.

"Is it possible that I still have to play with you here for half an hour?" he said.

"It doesn't take half an hour, fifteen minutes is enough. However, the red-haired girl's tone was unusually firm, "I bet my handbag with them, and it only takes more than fifteen minutes to be a draw." In half an hour, they had to give me their most precious coat and shoes. ”

After speaking, she paused slightly, then her tone changed, and she added viciously: "I want to snatch my beloved horse death limited edition handbag, but there is no door!"

“......”

Benjamin didn't really bother with her.

But this girl obviously did not give up so easily, or rather, her love for handbags had surpassed everything, enough to make her cheeky and launch an active "offensive" against Benjamin.

"That...... Benjamin, I know you, aren't you Grant's brother, you're famous in the royal capital. I heard that...... I heard that you were kidnapped some time ago, isn't it? That's interesting, can you tell me about it?"

Benjamin sighed.

This girl's ability to find words without words is also rotten to a certain extent.

However, the feeling of being mistaken for Grant gradually subsided, and he suddenly realized that he didn't need to be so resistant to this girl.

Asking from someone for news is not asking for news, anyway, this girl wants to use him to keep her handbag, and he can also use this girl to find out what the church is doing during this time.

So, before the red-haired girl could ask something like "Is your liver okay?" or something like that, Benjamin spoke:

"Have you ever heard that some time ago, the church has been transferring paladins from all over the kingdom to the royal capital?"

The girl was stunned, and then, with a relieved expression, said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Benjamin. I also go to church regularly, but I don't know much about the transfer of paladins. ”

"Well, goodbye then. ”

"Don't, don't! I ...... I've heard it, I've heard it. ”

Benjamin finally smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that without a little pressure, these young masters and young ladies would not say anything.

The girl's face showed an indignant expression, she glared at Benjamin a little helplessly, and said, "You said that you are not good to talk about, you have to talk about the church." If my mother knew that I was talking about the church with people outside, she would have grounded me again. ”

"Is freedom or handbags important?"

"Of course it's the bag important. The girl said categorically, "You talk, talk about whatever you want, even if you want to talk about my mother's affair with that general, I'll talk to you!"

“......”

I'm sorry, I'm afraid that knowing too much about this kind of thing will lead to corns.

Benjamin shook his head and said, "Whoever wants to talk about that, let's talk about the church." ”

Hearing this, the girl frowned and said, "Why do you like to talk about the church so much? I have heard that you have no talent for magic and cannot enter the church." ”

"Who said I was going to church. After thinking about it, Benjamin made up a reasonable excuse, "The main thing is that I heard a little bit about the church mobilizing paladins before, and I'm a little worried about whether it's going to be a war." In that case, we also have to prepare in advance. ”

On this point, he still has to be a little more careful. You can't think he's suspicious of going around asking for news about the church.

Hearing this, the girl sighed, and was finally willing to speak, saying what Benjamin wanted to hear:

"Well, I've actually heard that, too. That action to encircle and suppress the mage, the church began to act on the same day. I have an uncle who is a paladin who was still having afternoon tea at our house that day and left at a moment's notice. Originally, we thought that the encirclement of the mage would be over, but after all this time, I still haven't seen my uncle, and I don't know what happened to him now. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder.

The reason for Michelle's non-appearance was found. The church's long-term recruitment of paladins has not yet ended, so Michelle is still in the ranks of paladins and can't get out, so there is no news at all.

Fortunately, Benjamin really almost thought that Michelle had died in some gutter.

However, one problem is solved, and another problem arises.

The church has been gathering paladins for so long, what do they want to do?

"I've heard that there is an organization of mages in the kingdom, and the church wants to exterminate them all, so it's been gathering people. Thinking of this, Benjamin said tentatively again.

The girl shook her head.

"No, that's not what I know. Her expression suddenly became serious, and she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the reason why the paladins were gathered was because other countries sent assassins and almost assassinated His Majesty the Pope!"
