Chapter 52: The Sewers of the Outer City
The inner city of Haven Wright. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the depths of St. Peter's Basilica, in a sparsely decorated ashram, the bishop prays with his hands folded and his eyes closed to the frescoes on the walls. It was as if he had turned into a statue, and his mouth was not even half trembling.
Suddenly, a priest walked briskly into the ashram.
"The paladin sent to protect Benjamin Reeser represents that his cross has just been broken and that he is dead. He said to the bishop who was praying.
The bishop opened his closed eyes.
"That degenerate, is that her hand?" he spoke, speaking slowly, but without the slightest hint of inquiry, "after giving us that information, she chose to do it. She's really just trying to distract us?"
The priest was stunned, but there was a look of disapproval on his face.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid she's not just trying to divert our attention, I think, she's not in line with the people of the Silent Academy. ”
Hearing this, the bishop turned his head and looked at the priest, and his calm eyes did not show joy or anger:
"So, the message she sent us using Benjamin Reeser has been verified?"
The priest was watched by the bishop, and at some point, he suddenly felt a burst of nervousness, and even his palms began to sweat. He was about to answer, but somehow, he didn't say anything for a while, so he had to nod his head in affirmation.
The bishop was silent again, as if pondering what to do next.
Seeing this, the priest did not dare to ask any more, and silently wiped the sweat from his palms.
"She wants us to deal with the Silent Academy, and we can't spare the energy to deal with her. After a long silence, the Bishop finally spoke, his voice still tingling with a rare hint of fluctuation, "However, since she has given us the detailed address of the Silent Academy, we can't afford to waste it. The Silent Academy has been arrogant for so long, and it is time for them to feel the power of the Light. ”
The priest wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded yes.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "What about ...... What about Benjamin Reese? Are we going to save him?"
The bishop didn't seem to care, waved his hand, and said, "There is still one last team of 'cleaners' in the royal capital, let them go." Just because we're dealing with the Silent Academy now doesn't mean we can let her do whatever she wants. She is also jealous of us, and she will not act rashly. A team of cleaners can show that we care enough to bring Benjamin Reeser back. ”
Hearing this, the priest nodded again.
After asking all the questions, he seemed relieved, closed his mouth, and left with a sense of relief.
Seeing this, the bishop also turned his gaze back to the "saint" Abel on the mural, not knowing what he was thinking. After being silent for a long time, he still showed a rare hint of human emotion and sighed faintly.
Meanwhile.
In the outer city of Haven Lite, the bloodshed in the tavern continues to ferment.
After killing the Paladin, Scar Man commanded his men and killed the tavern's proprietress and cook. Then, escorting Benjamin and Jeremy, they left the tavern through the back door and fled the scene of the crime as quickly as possible.
Benjamin couldn't help but think, it's a pity that the table in the tavern, the tavern called "Bonnie", will never have a bunny girl dancing anymore.
He didn't worry about his situation, nor did he protest Scarman's "invitation", or even resist in the slightest.
At first, when he called for help from the knight, he was not going to let Scar Man live longer. His left hand stealthily grasped the pistol pinned to his waistband, ready to draw his gun and shoot at any moment.
Soon, however, he changed his mind and even let go of the hand holding the gun.
Because he noticed a person.
About 1.8 meters, his extremely thin man was the assassin who had come to kill him on the night he had just returned to the Rieser family. Mr. Assassin didn't wear a veil mask or anything like that day, so Benjamin recognized his looks.
When he first found out, Benjamin was taken aback.
After going through so many things, he almost forgot about this person. Unexpectedly, today this person appeared in front of him again and became a subordinate of Scar Man. Benjamin had to sigh that fate is really a wonderful thing.
Is it a coincidence? Or did someone do it on purpose?
Whether he intended it or not, Benjamin also wanted to know, who had asked this person to kill him?
Although this question has been forgotten by him for a long time, who knows if it will suddenly appear at a critical moment and deal a fatal blow to Benjamin? Now that he finally has the opportunity to find the answer, Benjamin will naturally not let it go.
So, after the paladin was shot by Scar Man, Benjamin didn't do anything more. The reason is simple, the paladin sent by the church to see him is dead, and he is completely free to use magic. Now that he can use magic, does he need to be afraid of this bandit leader?
Just follow them, or ask the Mr. Assassin a chance.
To be honest, he didn't think Scar Man would really hurt him - Scar Man still had questions for him!
It seems to have changed back to the same situation as when he faced Michelle. He has value in using Michelle, so Michelle will not kill him. He also has value for Scar Man, so Scar Man will not kill him.
This is the second time Benjamin has been kidnapped, and he has long been experienced.
He didn't think he was guilty of the same mistake as a paladin—underestimating the enemy. He had observed the Scar Man very closely, but in fact, the Scar Man was not as vicious as he seemed, on the contrary, this person was very cunning.
He has been pretending to be a pig and a tiger from the beginning, pretending to be brainless. Even though the paladin was already quite cautious, it still couldn't help but swell for a while, revealing some flaws.
Scar Man seized the paladin's most arrogant and lax moment, drew his gun extremely quickly, and almost didn't take aim, and hit the paladin in the heart - another madman with a gun and no insurance.
Moreover, this marksmanship is really no different from opening and hanging.
It's no wonder the paladin planted so suddenly. He simply didn't have time to react.
From the time the two met to the end of the paladin's death, Scar Man's psychological warfare was quite beautiful.
A person with this ability cannot be a reckless person, therefore, the Scar Man will not hurt Benjamin because of impulsiveness. Of course, this cunning will also add a lot of difficulty to Benjamin's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but no matter how cunning the scar man is, it is impossible to imagine that Benjamin can magic, right?
Seriously, does this bandit leader know what magic is?
Again, whoever knows more, who wins. He faced Michelle like this, and Scar Man faced Paladin. He will do the same when he faces the scar man.
Of course, there was another reason why he didn't use magic to resist on the spot.
There were a lot of people at the time, and he could indeed ensure his own safety with magic, but he couldn't guarantee that he would kill everyone present. If you can't kill everyone present, even if only one person escapes, you may leak the truth about Benjamin's magic.
When it came to the church, he had to be careful.
Therefore, after all considerations, he still followed the scar man, made a docile appearance, did not resist, and obediently came to his "home" as the scar man said.
As the most powerful bandit leader in the kingdom, Scar Man's "home" is not worthy of his fame.
His so-called home is actually a sewer.
The sewers in the outer city, the air is foul but extends in all directions, which is perfect for outlaws like him. Scar Man led his men into an abandoned house on a remote street. They moved the dilapidated bed away, and the entrance to the sewer came into view.
Then they jumped down one by one.
Benjamin wasn't afraid, he was even a little curious, so he jumped along.
As for Jeremy......
On the way, Jeremy was too scared, crying, and was knocked unconscious by the scar man's hand, and he was brought over by the shoulder. After entering the sewer, he was thrown to the ground, and after a while, he snored.
Benjamin felt a little funny, and was in no mood to be angry with Jeremy again.
And soon, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Jeremy.
He had to lift all his spirits, mobilize all his brain cells, and carefully deal with the seemingly vicious, but actually cunning Scar Man in front of him.
"Alright, this ...... Master Benjamin, we may now talk about that woman. ”
Scar Man split his men apart and sent them outside to control the wind. And he himself walked up to Benjamin, rubbed his hands, and said so with a sinister smile.
