Five days later, the group hurried through the big city and the main road, without any further accidents, and finally came to a small town on the banks of the Fitt River, the town of Serra. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is a small town built on the river, with a small population and a well-developed fishing industry, most of the people make a living from fishing. And as soon as Benjamin stepped inside, he felt the quiet atmosphere of the town.

Unlike the bustling towns we passed by, there were only a few pedestrians on the streets. The people passed by, that is, looked at each other cautiously, and shrunk their faces into their necklines, and hurried away, so that people thought that the town was not plagued.

However, Benjamin didn't bother to care about that.

He still has a lot of things to deal with.

This town is less than a day's journey from the border of Ikor, and there is certainly no way for horse-drawn carriages to cross the river. So Benjamin sent the four wagons and the coachman away, as he had thought before.

As for Miles, he was unexpectedly safe along the way, didn't do anything, and looked like a real coachman. When he arrived in the town of Serra, he left as promised. And after the confirmation of the water element induction method, this guy is really gone, not the kind of trick that pretends to leave and then hides nearby and observes secretly.

Seeing this, Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you want to go for development, I recommend you go to Carites. However, before leaving, Miles suggested to Benjamin, "However, if you are sure that you are going to Fredon, then feel free, when I didn't say it." ”

After saying this, he drove away in the carriage without looking back.

Benjamin was thoughtful. He looked in the direction Miles had left, yes, north, in the same direction as the road to Carretus.

So...... Is the force behind this guy Caritus?

It's really weird.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Benjamin put the question behind him. He had not read the letter that the church had written to King Carretus. For him, Carretus was the wrong answer that had been removed.

In that case, why do you want to do so much?

They rushed to the town of Serra, where they repaired it. It was still afternoon, and they were going to wait until late at night, when no one was looking, and then use magic to fly directly over the river.

By the way, after these days of meditation, many more mages have learned the art of flying, and the number of mages who can fly has exceeded half of the total. Benjamin also felt very relieved, and there was only a small half of the people left, and he was supported by a pillar of steam, and he didn't have to fly so hard.

Just as they were about to go to the inn to rest.

"Teacher Benjamin...... Look at this. ”

On the edge of the inn, suddenly, Frank pointed to something resembling a bulletin board on the street, lowered his voice, and said to Benjamin.

Benjamin looked over and saw countless dense portraits of people pasted on the bulletin board. If you look closely, the portrait is painted with more than 20 people from the mage group, and none of them are missing.

What's the situation?

After a moment's hesitation, Benjamin continued. However, he found out that it was a wanted warrant.

An official wanted warrant from Ikor Official.

“...... The above twenty-three people are undercover mages trained by the enemy country, and they have recently caused chaos in the capital, which is extremely destructive. A national announcement is now issued to raise vigilance, and those who have news will be rewarded with two hundred gold coins. ”

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The entire wanted warrant was signed in the name of the Queen. Needless to say, after these days of circulating news, the queen should have sensed that something was wrong, knowing that Benjamin and his party might have been to the capital, and then ran away under her nose again.

Nine times out of ten, she was angry, so she made up these charges and wanted to arrest them.

Benjamin could only rejoice that they had disguised themselves in advance when they entered the town. Otherwise, they would have been recognized by others now, surrounded and in trouble.

"Don't worry about these things. So, he whispered, "By this time tomorrow, we will be out of the border of Ikor . What they like to say is not with us. ”

Hearing this, Frank also nodded.

and the other mages in the team all informed them, telling them to be careful not to show their true colors, so the whole wanted matter was left behind by Benjamin and no longer worried.

However, when they walked into the hotel, they found that the hotel was empty, and there was not even a figure.

What happened?

Benjamin first inspected the entire inn by using the water elemental sensing method. That's right, whether it's the boss or the tourist, or the aunt in charge of cleaning, there is really no one. It felt like it was haunted.

Combined with the deserted atmosphere of the town, Benjamin finally starts to feel that something is wrong.

"You wait at the door first, and I'll go find someone to ask about the situation. He said to the other mages, and then turned and left the empty inn.

On the street, he stopped a middle-aged woman who was passing by in a hurry and asked, "Excuse me, excuse me, do you know why there is no one in the hotel?"

The woman stopped, looked sad, and said, "That shop...... The owner of that shop had already seen that the situation was not good, and ran away with his wife and children. ”

Benjamin felt even stranger when he heard this, and then asked, "What happened to the town, and why did it happen?"

So the woman sighed and began to talk to Benjamin about the cause and effect. At this time, Benjamin finally realized that the original town of Sierra was not like this. Some time ago, a group of river thieves suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Fit River, which made this place like this.

Probably an exaggeration about the river bandits, the middle-aged woman described them as no different from the legendary demons. Everyone is infinitely powerful, kills people without blinking, drinks human blood and eats human flesh, and rides flying tigers under their feet, every time they appear, the whole town is like hell on earth. If the townspeople can't provide them with enough food, they will kill several families and use their corpses as food.

Benjamin couldn't help but sweat ****** the flying tiger...... Domesticating Warcraft?

This eldest sister's imagination is also a bit rich.

In this way, knowing the situation in the town, in the end, Benjamin waved his hand and said goodbye to the sad woman.

The ransacking of the river pirates has made the town worse, but there is no way to do it. Benjamin was not such a cold-blooded man, but they themselves were all wanted, and how could they have the leisure to help others? Therefore, he had no choice but to turn a blind eye, pretend not to hear, and leave this place tonight.

Seriously, it should be the queen's duty to maintain the peace and contentment of the people and eliminate river pirates, so don't get involved here.

"What's that......" the system suddenly popped up, and said shyly, "If you've been looking for reasons to tell yourself not to mix blindly, from another point of view, it actually means that you really want to mix blindly." ”

“......”

Benjamin couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Of course, just because of the system's words, he won't change his mind. It's just that...... In the end, he found that he seemed to have to get involved out of helplessness.

Because, just when Benjamin was discussing with the other mages about whether the situation was delicate or not, whether to cross the river earlier, the group of river thieves in the woman's mouth suddenly appeared at this point in time.
