Chapter 177: Farewell to the Gate
Hearing this, the queen raised her eyebrows, revealing a somewhat surprised expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Probably surprised by Benjamin's overly calm reaction, she pondered for a moment before she spoke: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, what kind of people are the mages who can take down the gate of Crusade?"
Another one who likes to do tai chi when he talks.
Benjamin felt a little helpless in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but nodded and said, "Your Majesty has seen it now, so ...... It's not too early, we still have to hurry, and we really don't want to delay any longer. β
Actually, Benjamin was still a little anxious.
Who knows how long the group of mages will be able to hold each other back at the door of the bishop, and if the bishop escapes, or Ikor and Ikor's mage brigade returns, then Benjamin and their situation will be in trouble again.
Therefore, they must stay away from the gate as soon as possible.
When the queen heard this, she suddenly smiled enthusiastically and said, "Yes, the time is indeed not early. Well, then, it would be better for you to stay in our camp for the night, and then set out tomorrow, lest you have to walk at night. β
As soon as this proposal came out, Benjamin chuckled in his heart.
If before, he had expected the Queen's "kindness", now he has completely understood that the Queen does not want them to leave like this. Whatever the purpose, she intended to leave Benjamin and his party here.
The queen spoke in a good voice, but in fact it was just to delay time. Now, Ikor's mages haven't come back yet, and the power on the queen's side is not strong enough, but once those mages come back, Benjamin will be unable to help himself if he wants to leave and stay.
So, he didn't bother to go around in circles here anymore.
"Your Majesty, don't wait for your mage to return, we must leave tonight. As he spoke, he glanced at the mages who were blocking in front of him, "Do you think these people can stop the mages who occupied the Crusade gate?"
Subsequently, the more than twenty mages who followed him also cooperated to show a mysterious and cold appearance.
ββThank you very much for their performances.
Benjamin didn't know how strong the queen's mages were, but correspondingly, the queen didn't know how strong they were. Therefore, he had no choice but to sing an empty city plan and use bluff to intimidate the other party.
In fact, when he said this, he didn't feel nervous at all, probably because he had acted too much in front of the bishop of the royal capital, told countless lies, and practiced it. Besides, if you really want to talk about it, this queen gives people a sense of oppression that is not as good as that of the bishop of the royal capital.
"Yes, there's something to talk about, interesting people. Directly scolded by Benjamin, the queen did not attack, but let out a light chuckle without emotion, and continued, "Then I won't beat around the bush, I appreciate your strength and wisdom, I hope you can join my team of mages and serve Ikor." β
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned, and the mages behind him also looked at each other, revealing strange expressions.
"What's the matter? Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to be my subordinate. Seeing this, the queen seemed to feel that there was a play, and immediately added, "In my mage team, you are very free. If you decide to study or meditate behind closed doors, I will not bother you and can help you with something. And the only thing you need to do is to pick one of my many needs each year. β
...... Are you sure?
As the Queen said this, Benjamin stole a glance at her mage. Although there was nothing flawed in the appearance of those mages, Benjamin always felt that they did not seem so reluctant.
Therefore, in the face of the queen's seemingly beautiful promise, Benjamin was not interested.
"Thank you for your kindness, so be it, we'll pass through Ikor afterwards anyway, so let us think about it on the way, think about it, and give you an answer when we have a chance. He gave a polite reply of refusal.
Suddenly, the queen's face became less amiable.
"Are you really going to leave now?"
Benjamin nodded.
The queen narrowed her only left eye and stared at Benjamin, a faint murderous intent shining from her eyes, and Benjamin stared at her with a frank gaze - the queen could see that Benjamin was the one in charge of the group, so she never spoke to the others.
In this way, the scene was deadlocked for more than ten seconds.
As if to appreciate Benjamin's soft and hard attitude, after this stalemate, the queen's expression suddenly changed, and she looked away, quickly shifting her target.
She's ready to try to recruit the rest of the mage squad.
"He doesn't want to stay, so what about you, little girl, my palace has a lot of diamond jewels and beautiful clothes, and if you join me, I will give them all to you. The third female found a girl behind Benjamin who was a little dazed. So, she smiled again, spoke, and said.
"Diamond jewelry, gorgeous clothes, what do I want that thing for?" Hearing this, Joanna's expression became even more confused, "Your Majesty, your pursuit is too superficial. I am a person who wants to be a great magician, how can I be fooled by such a small thing? Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you must govern the country well, and you can't just think about beautiful clothes and jewelry all day long. β
β......β
At that moment, the queen's expression looked like she was about to curse.
Seeing this, Benjamin also shook his head helplessly, turned around, looked at the group of wandering mages gathered from Crewe Town, and asked, "Everyone...... Does anyone want to stay?"
Everyone laughed and shook their heads, but the smile revealed an unusually determined look.
"I'm used to being a casual person, and I'm not used to working for others, so I'm sorry, Your Majesty, and I'm going with you. β
"I want to follow Mr. Benjamin. β
"We are all grateful for Her Majesty's kindness, but we have no intention of parting, so we can only disappoint Her Majesty. β
β......β
Although the title of "teacher" popped up again, it still gave Benjamin goosebumps like last time, but when he looked at more than 20 pairs of smiling eyes with light one by one, Benjamin was inexplicably moved in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that these mages he had met had regarded him as his own familyβthough they probably hadn't thought so.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He eased his emotions and turned to stand at the front of their small team of mages, smiling fearlessly at the condescending queen again.
"Your Majesty, you have seen it too. His tone was calm and his gaze was calm, "None of us will stay." So now, we're leaving. If these mages under your command are still in our way, then we will have no choice but to be polite. β
As he spoke, more than twenty mages looked at the few mages who were blocking the road.
Several mages originally had a calm face, but they were stared at by these more than twenty suspicious eyes, and they didn't know why, but their faces showed a little panic.
"Her Majesty the Queen......"
Hearing this, the queen took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said slowly, "Let them go." β
"Okay...... several mages hurriedly moved out of the way.
In this way, perhaps because she couldn't figure out the strength of Benjamin and his party, the queen finally chose to let go. Benjamin also smiled and nodded, and then, leading the more than twenty mages behind him, walked forward together, away from the Crusade Gate, and gradually, disappeared into the lonely night.
The entire camp of Ikor and the mages who guarded the queen also fell into a dead silence.
Half a day.
"Your Majesty, we ......"
The queen suddenly spoke up and interrupted the other party. Her eyes were hollow, as if she was looking at something in the void: "Don't worry, they will always pass by Regina." If there is anything to say, let's save it for a good conversation at that time. β
Hearing this, the surrounding mages showed strange looks. They looked at the queen, who seemed to be a little distracted, and no one dared to speak.
The night of twelve o'clock was still not quiet, and the battle for the Crussard gate had not yet been decided. The soldiers in the aisle walked forward like ants, and the magic on the top of the door exploded like fireworks.
