Chapter 828: Shock from the Protagonist
The room fell silent again.
The three members of the Mage Inheritance Association were stunned in unison, and the two looked at each other with strange expressions. As for the old lady herself, she squinted her eyes and looked Benjamin up and down, with a rare confusion on her face.
“...... What do you say?"
Her tone sounded very guarded, and she didn't seem to know Benjamin. Benjamin scratched his head at this, and felt that something was not quite right.
Mistaken person?
But...... No matter how it looks or personalities, it's all exactly the same!
Benjamin's brain was already in a state of near-shutdown. The old lady who has been missing for a long time suddenly appeared and became the big mage in the mage inheritance society, which is scary enough. If he was told that he had recognized the wrong person, he would be too embarrassed to stand in this room.
In fact, he is still digesting the fact that "the old lady is a mage" so far.
As a mage, not only is she in Haven Wright, but she also happens to stay under the nose of the church, I don't know how many years, what is the difference between this kind of thing and the Arabian Nights? Even if she is not discovered by the church, watching the church kill other mages every day, won't she have emotions in her heart?
With mixed feelings, at this moment, Benjamin didn't even know whether he should hope to admit the wrong person or not.
And in the end, it was Elizabeth who suddenly opened her mouth to resolve the embarrassment.
“...... The old lady has lost all her memories of the past. She didn't remember being in the royal capital, and she didn't know that she was the head of the Riser family. She only remembered that a few years ago, she had been severely traumatized by her mental power, lost all her ability to cast spells, woke up from the secret stronghold of the Mage Inheritance Society, and was protected by these two mage seniors...... Until now. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he was slightly relieved that he hadn't recognized the wrong person.
It's just that...... This plot is a bit too bizarre.
"Really?" he looked at the other two old mages.
The two nodded, and seemed to gradually understand the current situation. They looked at Benjamin with strange eyes, and one of them said, "So, you're her other grandson?"
“...... Let's just say that. ”
"It's amazing. The old mage had an incredulous expression, "Your Excellency, please forgive us for our rudeness, we didn't expect you to be that Benjamin Riesser. ”
Benjamin laughed bitterly when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.
The old lady sitting in the chair frowned, looked at Benjamin a few more times, and suddenly asked, "Are you my other grandson who can do magic?"
“...... Be. ”
"What kind of magic academy did you build too?"
"Yes, I built it. ”
Suddenly, the old lady patted the table and said slowly, "Hurry up and close it for me." ”
“......”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
Lost relatives who haven't seen each other for many years, after finally meeting, actually said this for the first time, and it's really ...... Very old lady style.
The other two old mages hurriedly stopped the old lady, and one of them came over and persuaded: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, she has lost all her memories, she has a bad temper, and she often talks nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”
Benjamin smiled wryly, "I understand her temper, but ...... What the hell is her amnesia? And the Mage Legacies, of which she is a member mage? She's a mage? ...... Before, no one, including the entire Riser family, seemed to know about it. ”
There are so many questions in his mind that he can't hold back if he doesn't take the opportunity to ask a little.
"I understand your confusion, but...... There's a lot going on in between. The old mage said slowly, "That's right, she is a mage, in fact, she is the most talented mage in the world, she was valued by the seniors of the Mage Inheritance Society as a child, accepted as an apprentice, and reached the peak of magic in her twenties, known as the Soul Flame, no one can match her." ”
“......”
Benjamin had another brain crash.
Soul Flame?
Is it the legendary mage who sealed up part of his strength, then ran to the church alone, and then disappeared without a trace? Is it the megalomania genius who left the bottom of Lake Pearl and directly led to Michelle's death, the birth of the funny system, and almost killed Benjamin?
It's also too ......
At this moment, Benjamin could not find any words to describe his feelings. There was so much information that he felt like he didn't actually know this grandmother.
Not only did he not die after singled out the church, but he also became the mistress of the Rieser family, and it was decades in the royal capital?
She ...... How is that possible?" Benjamin didn't ask deliberately, but the words subconsciously ran out of his mouth.
"We thought it was incredible, but that's who she is. The old mage also smiled wryly, "Originally, the teacher chose her as the next leader of the Mage Inheritance Association, but she didn't want to be at all, ran out without permission, and had a very fierce conflict with the church. ”
In the end, she killed the reigning Pope and all the mages present who surrounded her, but she also lost her mana due to the use of forbidden arts, and she disappeared. We never contacted her, thinking she was dead, until more than a decade later, when she returned to our stronghold again, and we learned about what had happened. ”
"But at that time, she had become the mistress of the Reeser family, and she had always kept her mage identity well hidden, so she didn't plan to return to the Mage Inheritance Society, and only kept in touch with each other occasionally. And then, just a few years ago, she inexplicably appeared in our stronghold, losing her mana and memory, apparently as a result of using forbidden arts. We didn't know what was going on, so we had to protect her until now...... We'll meet with you, and that's about it. ”
On the other side, listening to the whole story, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the expression on his face was no longer describable in surprise.
Is this still human?
He turned to look at the old lady. At this moment, she listened to the old mage finish telling her story, but she only raised her eyebrows, and her face was taken for granted, as if she was thinking about something else.
...... Well, looking at it this way, it really looks like something she can do.
Benjamin didn't know what to say anymore. If the old lady's experience is really so wonderful, then the "great achievements" she has come along the way seem to be nothing.
At least, he hasn't killed a pope in the true sense of the word.
Speaking of the Pope......
Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to think of something again, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "That...... The current Pope, Grant Risse, you should know about him, right?"
