"What's your name and where are you from?"

"Hmm...... No problem, not a mage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you can go over and next. ”

"What's in your bag? Take it out and show me. ”

“......”

The Crusade Gate and the town of Crewe are not far away, and it should be said that they are connected. As long as you walk all the way east in the town of Crewe, you will soon see the huge barrier nearly 70 meters high, like a moat erected above people's heads.

It was also the first time Benjamin had seen such a spectacular building.

Although the high-rise buildings in the previous life were high, they were probably too elaborately crafted, and they didn't feel special when they were in it. Like this Crusade Gate, although it is simple to build, only about seven or eight stories high, it is like a mountain made of endless white wall bricks, with a kind of quaint majesty, even if you just look at it from the side, you have a feeling of insurmountability.

The gate was more than a kilometer wide and hundreds of meters thick, stuck at the entrance to the Valley of the Broken Army. The borders of the kingdom and Ikor are all steep mountains, and there is only one valley that can be crossed. Therefore, the strategic significance of the Valley of the Broken Army is self-evident.

Before coming here, Benjamin had also thought about how to get past the inspection at the gate. Although the kingdom is not completely closed, it is still relatively strict in terms of entry and exit.

Therefore, he also carefully disguised himself to ensure that no one could recognize him as the wanted "Grant".

However, when he arrived, he realized that simply dressing up as another person didn't seem to be enough to cope with the guards' inspection.

After a period of observation, he noticed that the soldiers guarding the gate were holding a strange cross in their hands. Whenever someone wanted to go over, they would put a cross on that person's forehead, and after a while, they would say something like "no problem, not a mage", put the person over, and move on to check the next person.

Benjamin frowned deeply.

There is no doubt that those crosses are the masterpieces of the Church. Judging from the language of the guards' movements, the function of this cross is to detect whether a person is a mage or not.

Trouble......

He hid to the side and watched secretly for a while. The guards are very dedicated to the inspection and do not let go of any fish that slips through the net. Everyone who wants to pass by, if they are not checked for three or five minutes, they will basically not let it go.

Just let them scrutinize it for three or five minutes, and Benjamin could have a chance of being recognized, let alone the strange cross. If the identity of the mage is revealed, then it's still a joke.

It's basically impossible for him to mess around.

What to do?

At first, Benjamin had the idea of breaking through. His current magic strength has also recovered most of it, looking at the thin appearance of those guards, without blessed armor protection, a few pillars of steam are estimated to blow people upside down.

However, he did not know how many people were still inside the gate.

And to be honest, as the border of the kingdom, if the Crussad Gate can be passed through casually, then the country will also be finished.

Therefore, he was going to sneak closer first and probe the situation inside with the water elemental perception method before making a decision.

Looking around, Benjamin pretended to be a wanderer, and walked into a hand-knitting shop closest to the gate. He and the proprietress of the shop motioned for themselves to take a casual look, pretending to be hesitant to choose, but in fact, they began to sense the water elemental and began to sense the inside of the Crusade gate.

As a result, as soon as his senses went around the wall, he spotted a priest-like figure sitting in a room reading a book.

Benjamin frowned.

Judging by the element of light that surrounds the priest and that keen spiritual power, there is no doubt that this is the man of the Church. And more importantly, although the sense is not very clear, he still vaguely feels that the strength of this priest will not be weak.

Knotty.

In this way, it is impossible to break through. Unless he can get rid of his opponent in one fell swoop, he will fall into a fight, and he will only be dead by himself.

Gotta think of something else.

Just as Benjamin was about to continue to extend the perception of the water element, suddenly, the priest sitting in the room seemed to have discovered something. With a puzzled expression, he closed the book and turned his head to look in Benjamin's direction.

It felt like he and Benjamin were looking at each other in the void.

Groove ......

Benjamin was shocked, and quickly put away the water elemental sense.

Discovered?

You know, since he learned the water element induction method, he has never missed the filling. Priests, priests...... He had secretly sensed it, and he had never been noticed anything.

The priest who sits at the gates of Crussard is a little weird.

Benjamin came to his senses and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He pretended to be nonchalant, and hurried out of the weaving shop, and went into a blacksmith's shop nearby.

He didn't know if the priest had discovered his presence, or if he just felt something was wrong. But in any case, he felt that he had better shift his position first.

After waiting a little longer, he noticed that there was no movement on the other side of the gate.

Didn't the priest find him?

After thinking about it, he repeated his old tricks, pretending to be picky, but secretly turned on the perception of the water element again.

The priest had just noticed that something was wrong, and he had only noticed it after Benjamin had been secretly observing it for a while. It can be inferred from this that as long as he snoops for a while, he immediately puts away his spirit, and the other party should not feel anything.

It is estimated that this priest's spiritual power cannot be so sharp.

Fortunately, when he looked over a second time, there was nothing unusual about the priest. Perhaps startled by Benjamin's moment, he didn't continue reading, but stood up, walked to the table, and poured a glass of water.

Seeing this, Benjamin was a little relieved and retracted his perception.

The priest really did not find him.

Also, perceiving distant things through the feedback of the water element is a very subtle method, and it is incredible enough to be perceived. It is estimated that this priest is also haunted by some sixth sense to be able to detect him.

But...... That doesn't seem to help him in his current situation.

He still had to find a way through this door.

"Hey, guest, what the hell are you trying to do?" Suddenly, the rough voice of the shopkeeper blacksmith came to his ears.

"It's okay, I'll just look at ......" Benjamin came back to his senses and shook his head, ready to say a few words to prevaricate the other party's inquiry.

However, as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him.

I saw that I somehow picked up a kitchen knife in my hand. And in front of him, a strange couple was hugging each other, looking at him, trembling with fear.

"No, don't kill us. The husband said with tears in his voice.

...... What the heck?

What happened?

Benjamin's face was full of black question marks.

Fortunately, in this completely disconnected situation, the system still jumped out and explained to him.

Here's how it happened: Originally, he was just pretending to pick and choose here, and his mind was always on the priest over there. However, he seemed to be a little too carried away, and began to wander around the store subconsciously with a kitchen knife, and as a result, accidentally bumped into the couple, he was taken for a robbery.

“......”

Embarrassed.

Double-line operation, sure enough, it is easy to make oolong.

Benjamin put down the kitchen knife, tried to maintain a blank face, and said, "I just got distracted, I'm sorry to scare you." ”

The couple looked at each other, said nothing, and ran away with a look of horror on their hands.

“......”

Is it so scary?

He didn't dare to wander in the blacksmith anymore.

Looking around, the customers seemed to be scared away by his previous actions. There were a few people when he entered, and now when he looked again, only the blacksmith with an angry face was left, staring at him as if he were going to eat him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Benjamin quickly apologized.

The blacksmith looked impatient and said, "Okay, get out of here, don't come to my shop to make trouble in the future." If you do this, will I still be able to do business?"

Benjamin was too embarrassed to say anything more, nodded his head, and prepared to leave. However, just as he turned around and walked to the door of the store, for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Therefore, he involuntarily slowed down.

After thinking about it, it was probably his sixth sense that was starting to haunt him. So, he didn't pay much attention to it, just subconsciously turned on the water elemental perception method while continuing to walk outside.

However, through the perception of the water element, he saw the blacksmith behind him who was still impatient just now, but at this moment, his face changed drastically, revealing a solemn expression. Out of nowhere, he pulled out a stick, which was already raised and was about to fall on Benjamin.
