"You...... You ......"

The paladin stretched out his hand in disbelief and pointed at the three Benjamins, unable to speak, as if he had seen the sun come out of the west.

"What? is this unrecognizable?" Benjamin smiled kindly, "We have helped you drive away such a large group of demonic beasts, isn't it a bit too much to repay your life-saving benefactor?"

It may be that the stunned mood is too heavy, but the paladins still haven't come back to their senses, and said incoherently: "You...... How can it be...... It's not like you're ...... locked up inside."

Benjamin shook his head.

"Your cell can only restrict us from using telekinesis, but not from using magic, and that's it. As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and dense ice needles emerged, instantly penetrating the few paladins who had no power to resist.

A few more corpses were added to the silent ship.

The surrounding crew members looked at this scene, and everyone was stunned.

I don't know how long it took me to be stunned before one of them came back to his senses and looked at Benjamin with fear: "You...... Are you ......?"

"Don't worry. Benjamin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "All the people left behind in the church have been eliminated by me, you are the last ship I liberated, and no one will force you to sail again." ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned again.

There was silence for a long time, and the slightly older captain spoke cautiously: "...... You're a mage, aren't you?"

"So what?" said Benjamin, shrugging his shoulders and nodding his head without hesitation, "I know you all think that the mage is a servant of the devil, but in the last moment, it was the mage who rescued you from a pack of octopuses. ”

"......"

Benjamin didn't mean to stop, interrupted the other party, and continued: "And who forced you into this dangerous sea without regard for your safety? ”

This came and went, and everyone on the ship was speechless.

It seems like...... What does this mage have a point?

They were shaken in their hearts. They were forcibly drafted and unpaid, and the crew could only console themselves with words of service to God. However, after so many days on the ship, they also began to realize that the priests were not as perfect as they had imagined.

Truth be told, they were disgruntled—especially when the paladins with their eyes above the top walked around the ship.

Therefore, when the legendary evil mage appeared in front of them, they ...... It's not so resistant.

"Master Fa, Master...... What do you want us to do?"

After a moment of internal strife, the captain finally accepted the fact that they now had to obey the mage, and asked hesitantly.

"Let's go back on the boat, we don't need you to do anything. Benjamin had already turned his head in the direction where the group of people in the church had disappeared, and said casually.

"Where are you going......?"

When Benjamin heard this, he turned his head back and said, "You will definitely not be able to return to the Kingdom of Hori, and the church will not let you go." But if you sail the boat to Carretus, it will be difficult for the church to track down your location. ”

"Ka, Carretus?"

"yes. Benjamin turned around, threw out a chart, and said slowly, "This sea area is full of monsters, and it will definitely be more auspicious for you to leave by yourself." However, you can follow the route on the chart and make sure that you are not even in the slightest danger. ”

The captain froze in place, picked up the chart with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it twice, and the crew on the side also rushed to catch up. Eventually, they carefully put the chart away and looked at the three Benjamins with complicated eyes.

“...... Thank you, Master. The captain bowed his head and said

Benjamin didn't react, just urged, "Let's go, get out of here as fast as you can." ”

The captain nodded.

All the crew began to scramble to prepare to set sail, pulling up the anchor and raising the sails...... There is no need for Benjamin to urge him, in fact, no one wants to stay in this strange place.

Soon, the entire fleet docked on the shore was moving away from the archipelago at full speed without the Church's knowledge. Everyone on the boat looked a little dazed, as if they had an incredible dream, and they still couldn't believe what was happening.

"It turns out that the mage is ...... Will there really be good people?"

Standing on the deck, the captain looked in the direction of the island and couldn't help but open his mouth and muttered to himself.

I have been brainwashed by the church for most of my life, and the indestructible faith in my heart is also turned upside down at this moment.

Meanwhile.

Benjamin, on the other side, had already set foot on the island and hurried cautiously towards the location of the settlement. He didn't really want to be a good man, but if the whole fleet was stranded on the island, Benjamin wouldn't have the time to take care of them, what if there was a crew member who went to the church to report it?

In a few moments, the fleet and the crew above were quickly forgotten by Benjamin. He walked into the jungle of the island, and the water elemental sensing method was fully activated, carefully perceiving everything around him.

"It's interesting that the ecology of the species is completely different from that on land, it's almost a completely new system. The system suddenly popped up and sighed in a matter-of-fact manner.

"That's true. Benjamin looked at the rainforest-like vegetation in front of him, nodded, and replied, "But...... Now isn't the time for biological research, don't you think it's weird here?"

"What's strange?"

"In such a big jungle, there is not the slightest trace of animal activity. ”

Benjamin searched around, but couldn't see a single living thing, and the silence in the neighborhood was eerily quiet. If it weren't for the footprints left by the church, he would have thought he was on the wrong track.

The system didn't seem to be interested, and casually said, "Who knows? Maybe this place is normal like this." ”

Benjamin had no choice but to turn his head to look at the two siblings who were following him.

Probably stepping on their homeland with a sense of revenge, their expressions all looked very complicated. In the process of moving forward, the girl sometimes couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the trunk of the tree on the side, looking a little sad.

"Are you nervous about finally taking revenge on the elder who killed your parents?" Benjamin suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the two siblings nodded. However, after hesitating for a moment, the girl couldn't help but speak: "Master Mage...... Are you here to wipe everyone out here?"

Benjamin shook his head.

"I know what you're worried about. He said slowly, "Some people are hopeless, like terminally ill patients, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, we can only completely kill the source." But...... Why do I have to kill those who are saved?"

Cultivating a chanting spell caster from scratch is really a bit slow for the academy. Therefore, Benjamin naturally did not intend to exterminate all the people on the island. He believes that most people are just kept in the dark, fooled by the ruling class here, and not yet to the point of no cure. He also believes that he has the ability to make the people here realize the right life.

— just like he had persuaded his two siblings.

And when the two sisters and brothers heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that while they hated the elders and the entire sect that had killed their parents, this was still their homeland.

The girl took a deep breath and was about to say something of thanks, but at this moment, Benjamin suddenly raised his hand and made a silent gesture, and the whole person became serious.

Her words could only be swallowed back into her stomach.

"Shh......h Did you sense it? Magic fluctuations, coming from far ahead. Benjamin lowered his voice and said slowly, "It can spread so far away, no need to ask, the situation over there must be very intense." ”

The two sisters and brothers couldn't help but be stunned.

"You mean ......"

Benjamin nodded, and continued: "The people of the church and the overseas sect, it should have been just now, and the two groups of people completely fought. ”
