Chapter Twenty-Five: The War Begins

Although it was curfew time, Benjamin was escorted by the knight and returned to the Reeser family without any problems. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Bypassing the servants of the vigil, he quietly returned to his bedroom, and no one noticed his movements. He closed the door, lay down on the bed, took out the cross, and played with it with great delight.

It is a silver cross with a small style and exquisite workmanship. Benjamin pressed it to his brow, and he could feel a breath of holiness emanating from the inside of the cross.

This is the power of magic.

The common people of the Kingdom of Horry are much more familiar with magic than magic. Every town has churches and priests, and almost everyone has seen priests use divine magic.

According to the Church, magic is the power that God has given to humans to fight against demons.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, demons roamed this world, famine, plague, war...... Suffering is constantly tempted by demons. People live in dire straits, and even a peaceful life becomes a luxury.

Later, a pair of brothers appeared, the elder brother was named Cain, and the younger brother was called Abel. No one knows where they came from, but they are determined to save humanity and put an end to this era of demonic rule. After failing again and again, Cain pretended to sacrifice to the demons and gained great power. In the end, he used his growing power to drive away the demons in turn and restore the peace and tranquility of this world.

However, the good times were short-lived. Under the influence of demonic powers, Cain's temperament changed dramatically, becoming more and more brutal and cunning, just like the demons he drove away. He began to enslave people, wage war, and kill innocents, and the human world, which had not been quiet for a long time, fell into chaos again.

Abel saw all these changes. After another war, he stood in the lavish palace built by his brother and suddenly began to pray in front of Cain. Cain was furious and put Abel in prison and crucified to the great cross. Seven days later, Able was gone, and when he reappeared before Cain, he already had the power of magic.

No one knows what Abel went through in the middle. And what everyone knows is that Abel, who wields power, and Cain started a great battle.

In the end, Abel defeated Cain.

As he was about to purify Cain with the light in his hands, Cain burst into tears. It was as if he had changed back to the same Cain he had been, weeping bitterly at Abel and telling him about his brother's past. Abel was touched and inadvertently exposed his back to Cain. Cain took the opportunity to attack and burned Abel to ashes with evil flames.

Just as Cain was triumphant, a divine light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped Cain. God's voice came from the sky, questioning Cain about Abel's whereabouts. Cain denied it, claiming that he knew nothing. God despised Cain's lies and wanted to punish Cain by stripping him of his power and exile for life. Enraged, Cain refused to accept God's punishment and sealed the world with a curse with the blood of his body. Since then, neither gods nor demons have ever appeared here, and this world has become a "god-forsaken land".

Cain died of weakness after casting a curse, and his blood drifted through the world, passing on the demonic powers. The polluted human world is once again at war, with people with demonic powers tearing each other apart, and ordinary people can only survive in the cracks.

Until one day, a teenager stood in the place where Abel was burned to ashes, and prayed with his hands folded. A holy light rose from the palm of his hand and bloomed like fireworks in the night sky, falling into the eyes of thousands of people looking up at the sky. Since then, mankind has also possessed the power of magic, and the praying boy has become the first pope of the church.

He dug a blade out of the dirt where Abel had died. When his hand first touched the blade of the sword, a sentence echoed in his heart:

"The light envelops the world. ”

The blade became a sacred relic of the Church, enshrined in the deepest part of St. Peter's Basilica, and that phrase became the oracle of the first article, which has been sung from generation to generation.

The above is the origin of the Church about magic and magic.

When the system first retold the story to Benjamin, Benjamin had to admit that the myths of this world had many similarities with his original world. The two very similar characters like Cain and Abel have long gone beyond the category of "if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence".

He couldn't help but wonder, what is the connection between the two worlds?

But at the moment, he couldn't think of an answer.

This world is not the same as his original world. There is magic and magic here, and there is no limit to human power, and the so-called gods are likely to be just extremely powerful human beings.

Therefore, the myths of this world are much more likely to have actually happened than in previous worlds - not necessarily the church version. Benjamin believed that if the mage had told the story, the plot might have been very different.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

If this myth is derived from something that actually happened, then it can be regarded as the origin of the essence of this world. With his current strength, it is too early to explore this - he has only been in this world for less than seven days, and he is also going to heaven.

Wash and sleep.

Benjamin felt sleepiness hit him. So he put away the cross, washed hastily, put out the oil lamp at the bedside, climbed into bed, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Maybe it was because he hadn't slept for a long time, but this time he slept deeply. By the time he woke up, it was almost noon the next day.

He was woken up.

"Benjamin, wake up, you're leaving! Wake up!"

Benjamin opened his sleepy eyes, and the whole person was in a daze.

"Get up quickly, don't sleep, we're going to be late!" The noisy voice still echoed in his ears, but the word "late" awakened the memory before the time travel, and made him sober up a lot.

Late...... What's late?

Damn was startled, I thought there was a class in the morning.

Benjamin rubbed his eyes and tried to look, only to see a young man of his age and very similar in appearance, standing by his bed, shaking his shoulders vigorously with his hands.

It was his younger brother, Grant Reese.

"Dry ...... Why?"

Benjamin black man question mark, bewildered.

According to the previous introduction of the system, Grant has a good relationship with him, and he is not looked down on because he is a scrap. But for Benjamin at the moment, he hasn't really communicated with Grant. The current situation was completely unexpected.

In addition, he was shouting "late" and "departure...... What does that mean?

"You've forgotten that, we're going to fight them today, don't be slow, we're all going to be late!" Grant urged without thinking.

Start, go to war?

Benjamin's eyes widened and his mouth wide open, staring at Grant in a daze. However, Grant's expression looked serious and solemn, even a little fanatical, not at all like a joke.

“......”

Benjamin was stunned for a moment, then fell asleep.

I must be dreaming.

Dream and dream, please don't disturb my sleep, this bed is expensive.

"Hey, you're still sleeping, get up!" Grant didn't disappear like a dream, but shook Benjamin's shoulder harder, shaking Benjamin's stomach so hard that he almost vomited.

Benjamin sat up from the bed again and opened his eyes.

"I'm not dreaming?" he asked.

"It's not. Grant replied.

“......”

Benjamin didn't know what to say, he wasn't very good.

He felt that since he came into this world, he had been waking up in the wrong position. was kidnapped by a witch again, and met a sleepwalking fool in the middle of the night. This time it's even more outrageous, he wakes up and is going to war, how long has he been asleep?

...... Why the hell is going to war?

"Stop grinding, get up! Get up, get up, get up......"

"I'm up! Don't shake it, I'm going to throw up!"

Under Grant's frantic urging, Benjamin, although he didn't know what the situation was, could only get up from the bed and be rushed to wash and change his clothes like a duck. He was still dizzy, and before he could say a word, he was dragged by Grant and ran out of the door of the house.

In the process, the servants they met had no expression on their faces, and they didn't look surprised.

Gradually recovering from the state of bewilderment, Benjamin had no choice but to ask the system:

"What the hell is going on?"

The system came out slowly, and replied lazily: "It's not a big deal, it's just a small activity for the children of the nobility." ”

Obviously, Benjamin will not be satisfied with this answer.

He asked, "Can you explain what is the small activity of the children of the nobles? Also, what is the situation of going to war, we are going to fight with other children of the nobles?"

"Hmm......" the system seemed to think for a moment, and said, "You can understand it that way." ”

"It's the same as not saying it. Benjamin's grievances continue to escalate.

"Don't think too much about it, it's not a big deal, trust me. "The system looks like the old god is there, "What are you anxious about now, it's very troublesome to explain." Anyway, when you get to the place, you will naturally know what is going on. ”

...... Is the system really worth trusting?

Benjamin couldn't help but scold.

The original system was just unreliable, and now there is another problem: laziness.

Needless to say, he couldn't ask anything from the system. Looking at Grant, who was dragging himself wildly, it was obvious that he was not in a state of being able to communicate. As a result, Benjamin had to resign himself to his fate and wait to see where Grant was going to take him.

On the streets of Havenley's inner city, two teenagers hurried by, leaving behind a loveless face.

Grant was not far from where he was going, and after a short run, they stopped.

They were still in the inner city, but the place was relatively remote and not much people passed by. In front of me is an abandoned castle, which looks a little old. Although it was not large, Benjamin was quite surprised by the castle that appeared in the city.

I saw that at the gate of the castle, there were about a dozen people standing, and if you looked closely, all of them were teenagers, and they were all dressed like nobles, which confirmed the "children of the nobility" that the system said.

Benjamin, however, was still confused, unaware of the current situation.

"What, why are you so slow?" said one of the group, seeing Benjamin and the others.

"Isn't it that you're not late, what are you anxious about? Grant immediately retorted.

The man didn't care, and turned his head again and said, "Okay, okay, let's start, it's still the old rule, everyone disperses first, and start acting in ten minutes." With his words, the group began to walk towards the castle.

What are you going to do......

While still a little confusing, Benjamin noticed that Dick Fur happened to be among them.

When he saw Dick, Dick just turned his head and looked at him. When the two looked at each other, Dick glared at Benjamin viciously, making a threatening gesture and a "you're dead" look.

Benjamin was speechless for a while.

Why is this person again?
