Chapter 119: The Strange Monk
In another room, Benjamin, after listening to the minister's detailed account of the present situation, frowned, and muttered, "Then do as you say." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. When the minister had finished speaking, he withdrew.
After the minister withdrew, Benjamin could be regarded as thinking about this matter completely clearly, "his father" passed the throne to him because his brother was too ambitious, once he inherited the throne, he would not be willing to be lonely, and he would definitely go around to fight and fight in the north and south, so that the whole country would fall into the quagmire of war and make the people miserable. And it is precisely because of this that his brother has encircled most of the courtiers and is ready to overthrow him.
This so-called invasion of foreign enemies, in fact, is his own self-talking, as a prince and many generals are his disciples, so he can control the vast majority of the troops, and now he can only deploy the only 50,000 or so people who can guard the imperial city, and his brother can control it is not at all a level, but he can't do anything, almost all the courtiers will not face him, he has always been just a mediocre prince in the eyes of everyone, except for his background, there is no place to take.
But what everyone doesn't know is that he is not as unbearable as everyone thinks, but if he didn't show this unmotivated and waiting for death all day long, I'm afraid he would have been killed by his brother a long time ago. In desperation, he secretly formed a force, but now it seems that it is far from enough, his brother has almost made it clear that he wants to depose himself, and Benjamin has to face it.
According to what Mei Lan Zhuju said before, in addition to the 50,000 or so Wangcheng garrisons on the surface, there is also a civilian organization in secret, most of which are mainly swordsmen, and the number is only about 20,000 or 30,000 people, although these 20,000 or 30,000 people are very strong, but in the face of the regular army, after all, it is just a rabble, at most it can only be a small-scale sneak attack and other battles that cannot be put on the table.
Thinking of this, Benjamin was also a little distressed, hell the trial, let yourself understand what is responsible, now even if you know, what can you do, in the face of an army of almost 300,000, no matter how responsible you are, it will not help, can you rely on this sense of responsibility to influence your brother to stop fighting? This even Benjamin himself can't believe it. For now, I can only talk to my brother first, as I have discussed with the previous minister, and I hope that I can remember the brotherhood. But Benjamin didn't hold out any hope for this, and his focus at the moment was not on the ownership of the throne, but on what he should do to complete this hellish trial......
As night fell, Benjamin walked out of the palace alone, and the city was peaceful, and the voices that came from the huts from time to time were full of happiness and contentment...... Benjamin walked along the streets and alleys of the imperial city in this way, and felt that the previous emperor, who was his "father", was really a benevolent monarch. According to Benjamin's understanding, the country's national strength is strong enough to annex two or three small surrounding countries, but since the emperor ascended the throne, he only paid attention to whether the people's lives were rich or not, and never considered launching wars to invade other countries.
Benjamin felt that all this seemed to be what he longed for, if his brother could do the same, the throne might not fall on his head, it was precisely because the emperor saw his brother's ambition, this ambition would shake the foundation of the whole country, even if he could dominate the world, but it would lose the support of the people, and the final result would be that the whole country was slowly destroyed.
Benjamin, however, found that he saw not only the future of the country, but also the plane. If this continent is constantly at war and the people are displaced, the energy of this plane will gradually be lost, because the continuous war will not only consume manpower and national strength, but also the creatures on the entire continent will be implicated, and the final result will be the desolation of the plane. Benjamin suddenly felt a little strange, why he thought of these things, as if he had a sense of déjà vu. Thinking like this, Benjamin unconsciously returned to the main entrance of the palace, but seemed to be very hesitant and did not enter, so he stood there and thought......
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Benjamin turned and walked out of the Imperial City. Not long after leaving the Imperial City, he came to a fork in the road, and Benjamin didn't know why, and he realized that he should choose the right road. After walking for a short time, we came to the end of the road, and at the end of the road was a temple, but it looked a little dilapidated.
Benjamin hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and soon a monk who was over the age of ten came out, but the moment he saw Benjamin, he was a little surprised at first, but soon he looked very happy, and his eyes actually showed that kind of look of getting what he wanted, which made Benjamin very surprised, and when he was about to open his mouth to ask, the monk took the lead and said:
"You're finally here. ”
"Huh?" said Benjamin, puzzled, and a little surprised, "why do you say that?"
"Hehe, please come in with me. The old monk smiled slightly, did not answer Benjamin's question, and turned and walked inside, not paying the slightest attention to whether Benjamin had followed.
Although Benjamin was a little surprised, he didn't hesitate too much, just paused for a moment and immediately followed the old monk into the temple.
"You don't have to worry, I know you're not from this world. As soon as the old monk opened his mouth, Benjamin was startled, and the old monk seemed to be very satisfied with Benjamin's expression, and nodded with a smile, "I am not from this world." ”
"Did you just bring me in to tell me about it?" asked Benjamin, though curious, but still restrained himself.
"I want you to take me out of here. The old monk also confessed and directly stated his purpose.
"Shall I take you away?" Benjamin smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I don't even know how to leave." ”
"It's different," the old monk shook his head and said, "I am different from you, you have your own soul, and you are very powerful. But I don't have a soul, I'm just a machine spirit, I was brought here by a strong man, but he was never able to fully control it, and finally left the artifact in this world and left by himself, and over time, the artifact absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and finally gave birth to me, I have the memory of that artifact, but I can't leave here with my own ability. Speaking of this, the old monk showed a very sad expression.
"Oh?" Benjamin didn't expect the old monk in front of him to be a machine spirit, no wonder he had a very strange feeling when he first saw him, but he didn't care about it at the time, but now he finally knows what it is, it turns out that he has no soul. With this in mind, Benjamin then asked, "How do you think I can help you?"
"If you can master my essence, you can take me away. ”
"Mastering your body, you mean the artifact?" asked Benjamin.
"Hmm. ”
"The strong man you mentioned before brought you here across the plane, and he didn't fully control it, let alone me. Benjamin pouted.
"This is different, although he is powerful, but he is not a god, he will never be able to control it without the injection of divine power, and you are different, I can detect traces of the existence of gods from you, so when you first appeared, I knew that I had finally waited for this moment to come. The old monk looked very excited, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"I ......" Benjamin didn't know how to answer, although he lost that part of his memory, he still knew that he had a god, and if it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have come to this damn place.
"You don't have to worry about it at all," the old monk saw Benjamin's hesitation, and hurriedly said: "The divine imprint of my body has already dissipated, you can completely control it by just using the power of your divine origin to mark it, and you can still use this artifact, I think this is not a bad thing for you." ”
"But the problem is that I can't use my own power right now. Benjamin said with some depression.
"Ah, why?" the old monk asked, looking at Benjamin with obvious suspicion after hearing Benjamin's words.
Benjamin frowned, but he was thinking about whether he could tell this old monk these things, after all, he was just listening to this old monk talk to himself, but he didn't know the specific situation.
"Alas~" The old monk seemed to see Benjamin's hesitation, sighed softly, but did not hurry to say anything, but folded his hands and said something silently in his mouth, then Benjamin felt that the whole temple seemed to be suddenly cut off from the outside world, and then there was a silver-white dazzling light in front of him, which stabbed Benjamin almost couldn't open his eyes.
After a few moments, the silver light faded, and Benjamin saw a skull appear in the middle of the light, but this skull seemed to be made of crystal, pure and transparent without a trace of impurities, and in the middle of the top of the skull there was a golden-red bump the size of the tip of a thumb. But what struck Benjamin find a little weird was that the skull didn't look like it had that creepy horror, but rather a longing for reverence.
At this time, the old monk's voice came out of the skull: "This is my artifact body, a complete god skull refined, my vague memory is that the predecessor of this god should be the existence of the main god level......"
