When Jeremy said this, Benjamin was facing away from him, looking at the food brought on the table, and hesitating about what to eat next.
Fortunately, his back was turned to Jeremy, otherwise, Jeremy would have seen the sudden change in the expression on his face at that moment.
He just stood there, stiff for a while, and soon returned to normal. He picked up a glass of milk, raised his head, drank it all in one gulp, then turned around and shrugged seemingly helplessly.
"Is there any way? Every time something happens, merchants will start to increase prices and stock up on goods. It's always like this, I'm used to it."
He was chatting about the merchants of the royal capital, with an indifferent expression on his face. However, in his heart, he suppressed his uneasiness and maintained his composure on the surface.
Very important letters were stolen...
Who is this talking about? You can figure it out with your toes.
The church is looking for him.
At this moment of realization, Benjamin almost choked for breath.
Things really got serious.
In fact, from the moment he read the letter to King Carites, he had already realized that something was wrong. At that time, he felt a little regretful as to why he had stolen the letter and gotten himself involved in such a troublesome matter. But there was no use regretting it, so he had no choice but to destroy the letter and pretend he didn't know anything.
He also guessed how the church would react to this, but he really didn't expect that the church actually issued a wanted notice and sent out paladins to start strictly checking people entering and leaving the royal capital.
It seemed that the church took this matter more seriously than he thought.
Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't reveal too many flaws while doing this whole thing. The church should not have doubted him, otherwise when he woke up, he would not be facing Jeremy, but the judgment of the Holy Light.
Thinking like this, he slowly relaxed, glanced at Jeremy again, and then asked seemingly casually: "But... an assassin from an enemy country actually sneaked into the royal capital. What does he look like? It's written on the wanted list. ?"
However, Jeremy's words shocked him again.
"It's written. It says that the assassin is proficient in the art of disguise. He likes to pretend to be a beggar. He is thin and small, and his hair is dirty brown."
“…”
Benjamin turned around again, pretending to pick food, turned his back to Jeremy, took a deep breath, and then turned back with a piece of bread as if nothing had happened.
After doing all this, he recovered slightly from the shock.
what's the situation
Damn... the church actually discovered him
Strictly speaking, the church didn't really discover him, but... how did it do it? How did the church know that it was a beggar who killed the pastor and took the letter
Benjamin was almost scared into a cold sweat.
The only one who knows that a beggar killed the pastor is the "Silver Fox" boss. Could it be that... the "Silver Fox" boss was arrested and the church read his memory, so that's why they issued this wanted notice
No, then wouldn't he be in danger now
"Is this the only description?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked again, "With these alone, who can identify the assassin?"
He had to confirm how much information the church had. He wanted to use this information to determine how likely it was that the church associated the beggar with Benjamin Reese.
Therefore, he really has to ask more questions.
"There's nothing we can do. There are only so many wanted people. If we could have known better, we should have caught him long ago." Jeremy shook his head and said, "Just because I don't know what that beggar looks like, there are so many on the street. The beggars have all been arrested by the church. Master, the streets in the outer city are so many times cleaner now than they were yesterday!"
Hearing this, Benjamin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The church has started arresting people randomly, which shows that they have found very little information.
From this point of view, the "Silver Fox" boss should not have been caught. Otherwise, he had been with the old man for so long, and the church could not have read his memory and gotten only this little information, and it would not have been able to change his hair from golden brown to brown.
Of course, he owes his hair color to a roll in a mud puddle. At first glance, it is indeed easy to mistake it for brown.
At first glance…
Suddenly, Benjamin thought about how the church got the key information of "beggar".
When he walked into the "Silver Fox" old man's hotel, there were many pedestrians on the street; there were also many guests in the hotel at that time, but they were later driven away by the Paladin. The church must have started the investigation from the hotel, and found some passers-by and guests who fled in a hurry. Perhaps a few of these people accidentally glanced at Benjamin, who was dressed as a beggar, when they left.
The church read their memories and came to the conclusion that the beggar who walked into the hotel and squatted on the side with his head lowered was the culprit who killed the pastor.
I didn’t expect that the church would be pretty good at investigating the case.
As for the suspicion of the "Silver Fox" boss... he is quite famous in the outer city. The church should be able to investigate and find out that he cannot be a mage. Therefore, they did not list the "Silver Fox" boss as the murderer.
Just like that, after thinking about the whole incident clearly, Benjamin didn't feel so uneasy anymore.
It's really surprising that the church can find so many things, but there's only so much they can find. As long as they can't catch the "Silver Fox" boss, Benjamin doesn't have to worry too much.
It is basically impossible to recognize Benjamin from the vague impressions of those passers-by.
Of course, if the church could work backwards and search the memories of all the passers-by along the way, it might be able to draw a map of Benjamin's route, and even find the organ man who had a few words with Benjamin at Bonnie's Tavern. But unfortunately, not every street in the outer city has pedestrians, and not every pedestrian has the leisure to pay attention to the beggars on the road.
Trying to use this method to find Benjamin's pigtails was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He was completely relieved.
call…
It's true that things are getting serious, but as long as he keeps a low profile during this period, there won't be any problems. The church is so busy. It has to deal with nobles, attack mages, and unite with Carites. This state of strict investigation should not be maintained for long.
To be honest, he began to feel that since the pope's reappearance, the church's hand had been stretched a little too far. Strong is strong, but no matter how strong you are, you still have to eat one bite at a time.
With such a big ambition, aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to death
Just like that, Benjamin thought as he finished his meal under Jeremy's service. After asking Jeremy a few casual questions about the situation outside, he sent Jeremy away and closed the door again.
Claude also said not to run out recently. The church is also in the spotlight, so just stay in the room and continue practicing magic.
Therefore, he lay back on his bed and prepared to continue practicing magic.
Not long after he got up, he ate something and then lay back down. In the eyes of outsiders, my life must be decadent and corrupt.
Benjamin couldn't help but think this as he entered the conscious space.
However, he was too lazy to care what others thought.
The third magic character is about to take shape. Can't he keep an eye on such an important moment
