Chapter 411: Going to the Appointment
Because of their delicate situation now, Benjamin thought about it for a long time, and asked everyone to continue to hide in the shadows and not show up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoTheir former home in Riley City has been abandoned for a long time, and the doorposts are covered with cobwebs.
Yes, the church has been defeated, but the new one is ...... It doesn't necessarily mean that there is no hostility towards them.
We'll talk about it when everything stabilizes.
In this way, at this small rally, Benjamin reassured everyone and asked them to inquire more about the situation outside, and that was the end of it. He himself, on the other hand, returned to the inn and waited quietly for Mikel's reply.
- Although he doesn't trust Mikel 100%, at least he has a relationship, and the other party's words will be a reference.
Soon, a day later, Mikel's reply arrived.
"Be sure to be on time!"
On the whole piece of paper, there was such a line written on it, and Benjamin was confused. If he hadn't recognized the handwriting, he even suspected that the letter might have been written by someone else.
Be sure to be on time......
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
From this letter, he did not get any valid information. He couldn't see any attitude on Mikel, and he had nowhere to guess about the current situation of Shelly City. The Prime Minister's invitation was just a day later, and he didn't have that much time to hesitate.
After struggling for a long time, Benjamin finally got up and walked out of the room.
He was going to take a trip to the city of Sherdy.
First of all, it doesn't have to be an appointment, but it is definitely a trip to Xuedi City. I heard that the army gathered outside has dispersed, and ordinary people can enter and exit. Benjamin had to go in and see what was going on, and no one could recognize him in disguise.
As for the Prime Minister's invitation, the location was not the royal palace, but a hidden hotel in the city of Sherdy. Therefore, if it is really a tiger's den in Longtan, Benjamin can also predict the danger in advance by using the water element perception method.
So, a day later.
The city of Xuedi had just been subjected to an army assault, and although there was no fighting, it was still much more messy at first glance, with the occasional pedestrian walking by with a cautious look, and the walls were pasted with newspapers that had not been cleaned.
Benjamin walked into it, and he didn't expect that the prosperous king would become what it is now.
The general...... What exactly do you want to do?
After walking around the city, Benjamin didn't get any news because most of the people were hiding at home and didn't go out much. But from this solemn atmosphere, he could also feel that Xuedi City still had not recovered from these changes.
Benjamin felt himself smell the repression of force.
...... Is it because of the queen who is about to be put to death?
After thinking about it, he did not walk towards the meeting place, but came to the outside of Mikel's house. There was no eyeliner around, and there were only guards at the door. So he went to the side corner and sensed inside.
I saw that Mikel was in the bedroom, doing some embarrassing things in bed with two women.
ā......ā
Benjamin covered his eyes and shook his head.
This guy is doing so well?
Writing such a letter, Benjamin thought that the other party was under house arrest or under surveillance. As a result, now that I look at it, there is not a single eyeliner around, and Mikel can do whatever he wants, and he is so comfortable!
So, he walked around to the wall and let the bedroom within his cast range. Then, he threw out a water balloon and smashed it directly on the shaking bed.
Suddenly, a woman's screams rang out from the room.
"Come out quickly, I have something to ask you. He ignored it, flew to the window, and shouted inside.
Then he waited by the wall. Half a minute later, Mikel came over drenched, disheveled, with an expression that looked like he had some kind of psychological shadow.
"Oh my God...... Master Mage, what are you...... Forget it when you're here, can't you knock on the door?"
Benjamin turned his head, looked at the other party coldly, and asked, "You lied to me with that bishop." ā
As a mage who has "protected the country", it is time for him to show some momentum.
Suddenly, Mikel showed an expression of wrongedness.
"Master Mage, you can't blame me for this, I don't know about the Prime Minister and the General. Really, not at all. He quickly explained, "Besides...... And now it's turning out well. The church has been kicked out by the generals, and the bishop has been defeated by you, so why are you angry here?"
"The church has been kicked out? are you sure?"
Mikel was stunned: "What do you mean by that?"
Benjamin shook his head and said in a low voice, "Are you sure that the general is really not a member of the church? The so-called expulsion of the church is just that the church can't bear the pressure of these days, so it takes this opportunity to go underground?"
Hearing this, Mikel stayed for a while and said with a smile: "Master Mage, I don't know a lot of things behind it, but I don't think the general will really be a member of the church." These days, in addition to planning the coronation, he is purging the church of what remains. I've seen some of them with my own eyes, and I can't fake them. ā
Benjamin listened to this answer and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although he did not fully believe this statement, the phenomena he had seen in the past few days did not make it seem like General Stewart was working for the church.
And...... That coronation.
"Does the general want to be king?"
Mikel's expression was a little evasive, but he nodded anyway.
Receiving this answer, Benjamin couldn't help frowning.
How old are they, and even if they become kings, how many years will the throne sit on the throne? He couldn't understand why Stewart did this.
"What do you mean by that letter you gave me, and why did the Prime Minister invite me specifically to Shelly?" he asked again, after a moment's thought.
"The Prime Minister asked me to reply to that letter. Mikel smiled embarrassedly, "Master Mage, don't be angry, the Prime Minister has no ill will towards you, you can just go and meet you." ā
Benjamin lifts his forehead.
Is......
"Forget it, you can't ask for anything. Finally, he said helplessly, "You go back." I've come to you for news, and if anyone asks, it's okay for you to tell them. Anyway, in front of the Prime Minister, you won't keep it a secret for me, will you?"
Mikel laughed and said, "How can it be? What are you talking about......
Benjamin shook his head, turned around, and left Mikel's house.
To be honest, this time, he could clearly feel the other party's different attitude. More and more flattery is because he has been praised by the announcement, is he a protector now? I'm afraid it's not.
Benjamin thinks it may have something to do with the attitude of the general and the prime minister.
Therefore, he decided to meet with the prime minister anyway.
He couldn't keep making decisions in such a fog, he had to meet the old fox for a while.
The agreed place was not far away, and after a while, Benjamin arrived at his destination. The location of the hotel is relatively deserted, and after scanning it with perception, there are indeed no suspicious people. This meeting was not the Hongmen banquet he imagined. In the agreed room, the prime minister was the only one, sitting quietly.
Benjamin didn't hesitate any longer and walked inside.
Came to the room, knocked on the door, and the Prime Minister smiled and opened the door for him.
"Amazing Hero Mage, we finally meet again. Closing the door, the prime minister smiled and touched his beard, and said directly, "I knew that you would definitely come to this appointment." ā
Benjamin's attitude was not very good: "Without further ado, I just want to know what the hell you guys are up to." ā
"Is that so?" the Prime Minister smiled and nodded, "Okay...... However, I should state in advance that I did not lie to you, that General Stewart was indeed on the side of the Church, and that Bishop Victor had always treated him as one of his own. It was only later that he quietly chose another camp. ā
"Which side did he choose?" asked Benjamin.
The Prime Minister replied: "He chose himself." ā
