This time, Michelle didn't break her promise. An hour later, she returned to the small room as promised.
And Benjamin did not allow himself to continue to be immersed in emotions.
It's not that his mind is so determined, it's just that the constant headache has been tormenting him, making him unable to feel sad. Therefore, after clarifying his situation, he could not bear the torture and quickly returned to the conscious space to start solving the big problem that caused his headache.
It was obvious that if the crack was left alone, it would not go away on its own. As long as it doesn't disappear, Benjamin will continue to have headaches, and it will become extremely difficult to cast spells, basically unable to release magic.
And what's the difference between a mage who can't cast magic and a salted fish
-He has to do something.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin endured his headache, concentrated, and tried to mobilize the water element in his consciousness space. After the giant water balls condensed, the water elements in the space were much less than before, but they still moved under Benjamin's call.
Of course, what followed was an even more severe headache.
Affected by the headache, Benjamin had to stop and rest for a while before re-mobilizing the water elements and letting them gradually gather towards the cracks.
This is what he came up with.
If you want to repair the cracks, you have to get something to patch them. Nuwa had to refine stones to mend the sky. If he wanted to mend the sky in his own consciousness, he had to find his own "five-color stone".
Fortunately, the components in the consciousness space are not that complicated—except for spiritual power, it is the water element. It was his mental power that was damaged, and there was definitely no way to repair it with mental power. In this case, we can only try the water element.
Soon, under Benjamin's guidance, the water element approached the crack, and then dived in.
A cool feeling came from his mind.
Benjamin came back to his senses and found that his headache seemed to have eased a little.
As for the huge crack in front of me, although there is no reaction and the change is very small, which is difficult to see with the naked eye, it seems to have some tendency to heal.
Seeing this, Benjamin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the method of repairing the consciousness space is not complicated, otherwise he would not know what to do.
Within this space of consciousness, the water element is simply a universal elixir that can enhance magic runes, release magic, and repair cracks. At this moment, Benjamin suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't he throw an extra piece of water element crystal directly into the crack? The repair speed must be very fast.
However, this kind of thing can only be a daydream.
He was rescued from the cross with nothing on him. Not to mention the water element crystals, just the magic props and the light element crystals should still be hidden in the corner near the Rise family at this moment. If the church was really investigating, I wonder if they would be discovered.
However, even if the church couldn't find it, he probably wouldn't have the chance to get them back.
Pity…
Benjamin felt extremely painful, and all the accumulation he had accumulated over the past few months was destroyed at this moment. I originally thought I had some foundation, but I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, I would be empty-handed again.
But... at least he saved his life.
He also knew that those were all external things. As long as he is still alive, repairs his consciousness space, and regains his strength, he will have a chance to get better things in the future.
Therefore, he did not feel too discouraged. After thinking about it for a while, he forgot about the matter and began the long work of repairing his consciousness space.
To repair this crack, the demand for water elements is not ordinary!
Therefore, until Michelle came back here after inquiring about the situation outside, Benjamin had been repairing the leaking cracks in the conscious space.
"Your Excellency Riese, have you cried enough? Wipe your tears, we should talk about business." Michelle's unpleasant voice came over, interrupting Benjamin's repair work and calling him back to reality. among.
Benjamin was not angry, opened his eyes, and sat up again from his bed.
After the arduous repair work, the headaches have eased a bit and my spirits have improved a lot. Therefore, he looked at Michelle with renewed curiosity and new doubts in his mind.
Something is wrong.
Why is Michelle here
"Shouldn't you be busy looking for that mage's relics? Why did you return to the royal capital? Also, did you successfully open the treasure house? Is there no trap?" After thinking about it, he asked one after another.
In fact, it is quite strange for Michelle to appear in the royal capital at this moment.
Michelle was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then replied: "There are no traps in the treasure house. I successfully obtained the treasure map and the relics of the 'Soul Flame'. On the day I returned to the capital, I happened to bump into I got on your water polo. Then, the royal capital was blocked by the church and I couldn’t get out, so I simply found you and prepared to cooperate with you to escape from the royal capital together.”
At this point, she paused, looked at Benjamin again, and then said: "However, looking at your current state, the magic backlash is so severe, you should not be able to use any magic. I want you to help me, basically It’s impossible to go up.”
After hearing this, Benjamin felt strange.
Michelle asked him to cooperate. Is it true or false
It wasn’t that Benjamin was too suspicious, but what Michelle said was so strange. Not to mention why Michelle wanted to return to the Royal Capital again, even if the Royal Capital was blocked and Michelle couldn't get out, she wouldn't think of asking Benjamin to cooperate, right
This is not something Michelle would do.
"Since you have seen that I am of no use now, why are you coming back?" Thinking of this, he stared at Michelle's expression, as if trying to find some loopholes in it, "If it is just because the capital is blocked , you can completely hand me over to the church. As long as the church arrests people, martial law will naturally cease to exist."
Benjamin couldn't tolerate such a strange explanation at all.
There must be something fishy here.
Sure enough, everything was not beyond his expectation. As soon as these words came out, Michelle seemed to become mute, closing her mouth and unable to say anything.
Seeing this, Benjamin could only take a deep breath and prepare himself mentally for possible changes.
"Because I want to make a deal with you again." However, just when Benjamin was extremely nervous, suddenly, Michelle's expression changed slightly and she spoke again, "The fact that you can release such magic means that your level has been improved." Far more than me. Even if your strength is reduced due to the backlash of magic, you will become stronger one day in the future. When the time comes, I will ask you to do me a favor."
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned deeply.
… real or fake
He still couldn't accept this new rhetoric.
Could it be that he showed some domineering spirit and used that giant water balloon to impress Michelle so much that he fell to the ground? Michelle thought he had a bright future, so she came over to help him
This is too nonsense!
Just like the familiar feeling in Michelle's words, "I'll save your life first, and then you'll return a favor to me later", no matter how he listened to it, Benjamin felt that there was a trap in the words, waiting for him to jump.
This is not the first day he has met Michelle. How can she be so kind
After thinking about it, Benjamin didn't want to go around any longer. He simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly, saying: "You should also know that I can't believe what you said. Instead of doing this, why don't you tell your true feelings? Tell me the purpose. You don’t have to worry that I will hinder you. Anyway, I don’t have the power to resist at all now, so you don’t have to worry about anything."
Hearing this, Michelle also sneered.
"Yes, you have no power to resist now." She nodded, and suddenly showed a smile that concealed a knife, and said, "You have lost all fighting power, and there are still church soldiers chasing you everywhere. In this situation Your Majesty, you have no other choice but to rely on me. In this case, you can only be obedient. Why do I need to tell you my true purpose? "
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
… you win.
At this moment, he was shocked to find that he seemed to be back in the same situation as at the beginning of the time travel. The only difference between now and then was that he knew what Michelle wanted at the beginning, but now, he didn't even know what Michelle wanted.
