Chapter 15 Methods of Excavating Inheritance
Soon, Benjamin left the confessional. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He blended in with the crowd and left St. Peter's Basilica unobtrusively.
This communication with the bishop was very rewarding for him. First, he knew he was cursed. Although this is bad news, it is better than waiting until something happens, and it can barely be regarded as a gain. Secondly, he also has the biggest takeaway of today - Michelle's information.
The bishop nodded, and told Benjamin something about Michelle. Only then did Benjamin know that Michelle had already had a bad record. Since five years ago, she has been active in the royal capital: raiding nobles, stealing treasures, spreading rumors, and promoting heretical ideas...... Not only that, but she survived unharmed for five years under the frantic pursuit of the church, and she did not even fall silent for a long time.
It can be said that the people of the church were played around by her, but they couldn't even touch a single hair of her.
Even now, the Church has not figured out what level of her magic has reached. The bishop thinks that she has reached the realm of a great magician, and no one at the level of a bishop or a great knight can deal with her. Because of this, the church is very jealous of her.
To this, Benjamin just wants to say: you guys are thinking too much.
Although he can't figure out Michelle's strength, how can she be so powerful even if she is afraid of a team of "cleaners" like that?
This empty city plan is really beautifully sung.
Of course, the information given by the bishop, in addition to the long struggle between them and Michelle, was the stronghold they had discovered, which Michelle had used.
By chasing Michelle, the church discovered no less than twenty of her abandoned strongholds.
Now, Benjamin also keeps these strongholds firmly in his heart.
At this moment, he was walking on St. Peter's Street outside the church, thinking about his next plan: he would search for more than 20 strongholds, which was inevitable. But be careful that he must not arouse the suspicion of the church. If his true purpose is discovered by the church, he will only end up in a situation like Michelle.
He didn't want to be put on the church's purification list so early.
Because of the curse, the church used him as bait, and naturally paid special attention to him. And trying to dig up more than 20 strongholds under the nose of the church is tantamount to a pipe dream.
You'll have to find someone to do it for you......
"By the way, didn't you say I had a valet named Jeremy or something. Why haven't I seen him all this time?"
Thinking of this, Benjamin asked into the system.
"Jeremy is not feeling well, didn't you say it when the butler woke you up this morning, do you have any memory?" the system found an opportunity and immediately jumped out and despised Benjamin.
"Really, passerby A, who doesn't even have a name, I can't usually remember what they said. "Benjamin learns to be as cheeky as the system, and he is not ashamed.
The system is speechless.
However, the words of the servants are mentioned......
Speaking of which, Benjamin suddenly realized that in fact, his status in the entire Reeser family was not as low as he imagined.
He also has servants and other things. Although the grandmother's attitude towards him was poor, it was only due to her own personality and had nothing to do with Benjamin. As for the servants, they didn't look down on him because he was born with waste wood or something. Like the passer-by A housekeeper, who is cleaning up the floor and preparing toiletries, the service is service, and the attitude is also respectful that you can't find fault.
This is the professional attitude that a maid should have!
Come to think of it, no matter how wasted he is, he is also a nobleman, not comparable to ordinary servants. The plot of the subordinate pointing at the master and making all kinds of stumbling blocks probably only appears in eighteenth-rate novels.
"Although Benjamin is a wastewood, his life is actually not bad. Thinking of this, Benjamin sighed.
"The poor life of the rich and the poor life of the ordinary people are two different things. "But I still want to remind you that you only have one Jeremy, and your brother has two male servants and one female servant. Your servant earns thirty pounds a year, and each of his servants earns fifty pounds a year. Do you still want to say you're doing well?"
“......”
Benjamin felt like he was being persuaded by the system.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that this life was really unbearable, and the life of not using one hundred and fifty pounds a year to hire servants was simply miserable, without any dignity to live.
I have fallen so fast, and the corrosion of feudalism is really hard to resist.
Comparison is indeed the original sin of mankind.
"Why did you suddenly mention the manservant, are you going to ask him to help you dig up Anne's relics?" the system asked, bringing the topic of derailment back to the normal world.
"You guessed it right. Hearing this, Benjamin nodded.
Hiring another person will only make it more troublesome, so it's better to find a guy you trust.
Although one's own valet may also arouse the suspicion of the church, after all, he is a protective concern, not a suspicious one. The person in the church will only pay all his attention to himself, and will not care so much about the people around him.
And, after he came out of the church, he was also keenly aware that someone was watching him. With a hint of the water elemental, he found that it was a knight on patrol, plus a priest dressed as a passerby.
Two people, this is what the bishop said, "God will always watch over you". In order not to arouse Michelle's alarm, the church's "gaze" is also loose enough. Benjamin was guilty of it, but from another point of view, it was good for his freedom of movement.
If they hide in the house of the Reeser family, for the sake of the nobles, they probably won't even know what they're doing.
Of course, he wasn't going to take too many risks. When the time comes to get the hands on it, he'll play a little trick to get the church to let their guard down even more.
"Based on what you mentioned, this Jeremy should be a trustworthy person. Thinking of this, Benjamin asked the system.
"Credible is credible, but I still think he's not necessarily up to the task. ”
Benjamin was puzzled: "Why?"
The system hesitated for a while, but in the end, it gave this answer: "Because ...... His guts were too small. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
At this moment, a hasty call pulled him back to reality from the dialogue with the system.
In the distance, a panicked figure gradually approached, and soon, he crawled in front of him.
"Master Benjamin, I've found you. ”
Seeing the appearance of this person, Benjamin actually wanted to laugh a little. Thin and short, with a pointed chin and small eyes, he wore a combination of a black jacket and a white shirt that most manservants would wear, but the dirty clothes betrayed him, not at all like the servants of ordinary aristocratic families, decent and spiritual.
It looks like a mouse, but it doesn't look like a mouse, but only like a mouse.
But Benjamin didn't smile, and he didn't show any unusual expression.
Because the system told him in his heart: this was his manservant, Jeremy.
"What's wrong Jeremy, what's wrong?" he asked solemnly.
Jeremy held his knees, gasped for breath, and then said, "I'm sorry young master, I took a leave of absence because I had a bad stomach today, so I didn't do the laundry, and I embarrassed you outside, I ......"
“......”
Actually, Benjamin didn't want to ask this, he just wanted to ask what he was doing in a hurry.
But...... Never mind......
"Then what are you doing with me?" Benjamin had to ask again.
Jeremy hurriedly shook his hands and said, "Ah, no, it's not me looking for you, it's the master." The old lady and the young master Grant have returned from the territory, and the old man is now about to ask you for a question!"
Oh?
When he heard the news, Benjamin was still in his heart. However, for this scene, he has rehearsed it countless times in his heart. So he didn't panic, he was a little nervous, but only a little.
It's time to come, it's always coming.
Although the biological parents seem to be closer, when it comes to estrangement, I am afraid that it is also the deepest between children and parents. Children hardly let their parents know their true selves, and parents hide many aspects of themselves.
This is especially true for the least valued children in the family, especially during the most rebellious adolescence.
Judging from some of the previous life episodes displayed by the system, he and his father are like strangers, and the atmosphere is awkward and dull every time they talk. In the past, Benjamin was silent in front of his parents, and he couldn't beat a fart with eight poles. This level of imitation, even if he doesn't have a golden finger of acting, it's not difficult to do it.
In short, he already has the confidence not to be recognized.
"Got it, I'll go back now. ”
After Benjamin finished speaking, he glanced at the cautious Jeremy, and suddenly said, "By the way, you will do something for me." ”
"Young Master, what's the matter?"
Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there is a carpenter in the east, so you can go and buy me a cross there, be careful." By the way, you are not allowed to ride in a carriage, I don't have that much pocket money for your travel expenses. ”
Jeremy's face drooped suddenly: "Ah...... Young master, it's a long way from there, and I can only buy things back by walking in the middle of the night. ”
Benjamin smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, go slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”
What you want is far, and if it's not far, you won't be allowed to go.
That's Benjamin's little trick: keep sending Jeremy on errands, doing things that don't matter or show his piety. Running like this every day, running more than ten or twenty times, if the people in the church are still willing to distract Jeremy, then they are amazing.
Once the church's attention was completely diverted, he could have Jeremy dig up Anne's relics.
Even if the system is picky, I have to admit that this is a good way.
In this way, Jeremy began the first step of his long march with a bitter face. And Benjamin stopped thinking about it, quickened his pace, and walked towards his home.
His father was going to look for him, and he couldn't go on a walk here.
The house of the Reeser family was originally in the upper town, not far from St. Peter's Basilica. It didn't take long for Benjamin to arrive home. The servant at the door did not say anything, but saluted him, and opened the door for him to enter.
"Sir, they're all in the living room. ”
The servant at the door reminded.
He nodded to the servant and walked into the room to the living room.
However, the moment he stepped into the living room with his right foot, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
The atmosphere is a little scary.
And...... Why...... Will there be so many people in the living room?
The original huge long table didn't look long at all. An imposing middle-aged man sat on the throne with a calm face, it was Benjamin's father. To his left, a row of people sat in turn: a delicately dressed woman with an uneasy face, it was Benjamin's mother, a blonde young man of fifteen or sixteen years old staring at the table in a daze, it was his younger brother, an old lady who rolled her eyes, Benjamin's grandmother, another middle-aged man in gold and silver, Benjamin did not know, another blonde boy, Benjamin still did not know......
There must have been a dozen or so of them, and half of them were people who Benjamin didn't know at all and didn't belong to the Reeser family.
These people all sat there without saying a word, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
Especially when Benjamin appeared, a row of eyes were projected in unison, each like a searchlight in the hands of the police, and it felt like the next second with a warning of "don't move", and the bullet was about to follow.
Obviously, they are all here for themselves.
"What's the situation?"
Benjamin was a little frightened and asked the system in his heart.
"What's the panic, I've seen a lot of this meeting. "The system is very calm. After saying this, the old god paused on the ground for a while, and then threw out a sentence lightly, poisoning Benjamin half to death.
It said, "They are all here to get married." ”
“......”
Benjamin was annoyed. Why did he hoard so many online novels on the computer, poisoning an artificial intelligence that should be smart and cheerful every day, and making it so united, tense, serious and lively.
Despite this, he couldn't help it, and followed the system in his heart:
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor?"
