"Hmm... Do you want to ask about the lockdown and the plague? Or are you talking about the super water balloon some time ago?" After hearing this, my sister Nina thought for a while and replied.
These were not things that Benjamin wanted to inquire about, but after hearing this, his eyes still lit up.
Fortunately, although these three people live in a remote place, they are not isolated from the world, and they know everything they need to know. From this point of view, Benjamin should be able to get a lot of information from them.
What he fears most is the kind of guy who lives in seclusion. If he really encounters such a person, Benjamin may not be able to ask anything.
Therefore, thinking like this, he immediately asked: "I know all that. What I want to ask is, what happened after the royal capital reopened the city gate?"
But Nina shook her head and said: "This just happened, how do we know. But Hal will go to a nearby town to buy needles and thread for us this afternoon. Maybe he can find out something!"
… All right.
Benjamin was stunned at first, and then quickly realized that he was impatient.
Indeed, it was only yesterday that the church opened the gates of the royal capital. The common people outside the royal capital, especially those who live in seclusion, no matter how well-informed they are, they cannot find out clearly so quickly. Bar.
I don’t know what happened after he was pushed off the carriage...
Especially when thinking about what Michelle said to him before pushing him down, it felt like a moment of déjà vu that was full of FLAG. "If you can survive, go to XX country to find XXX", this is simply a standard line in the current era!
Could it be that in order to save him, Michelle chose self-sacrifice and lured away the church’s pursuers
But...why would Michelle do this
Benjamin suddenly had a strange feeling.
After much deliberation, he still couldn't come up with a result. Therefore, he decided to put this matter aside for the time being and wait for the three people to "go to a nearby town to inquire about the news" before thinking about the ins and outs of the entire incident.
According to the system's description, the cabin is located in a remote place, and the church will not be able to find it for a while. If he stays here for a few days, there should be no problem, and it won't affect these three people.
To be honest, even though Benjamin didn't quite understand why they saved him, he was still very grateful to be saved.
"Well... thank you very much for saving me. If you need anything, I will definitely help." Therefore, he said to the three of them.
However, Nina replied: "No, we brought you back just because we wanted someone to play with Harry."
"...Harry?"
Is it possible that there is a fourth person living here
Benjamin had a slight doubt in his heart, but soon, the two little girls introduced the new friend named "Harry" to him.
At their urging, Benjamin got up and followed them out of the house. Outside the house was a small valley, and walking deeper into the valley, Benjamin saw a small field full of potatoes. The field was surrounded by a simple wooden fence, with an ugly scarecrow stuck in the center. However, the fence surrounding the field was damaged in several places, and there seemed to be traces of the presence of beasts.
And Harry is the scarecrow.
Listening to Nina's introduction, Benjamin quickly understood why these three people wanted to save him.
They just need a coolie.
"Harry stays here alone every day. He's so lonely. Can you stay with him?" Nina suddenly pouted with a pitiful expression and said to Benjamin, "Of course, stay with Harry." It would be better if we could also drive away those bad guys who are causing trouble."
“…”
Benjamin was a little overwhelmed.
Why do the little brats these days look like human beings
"...Okay, I'll help you look over here." Faced with Nina's unusually "sincere" request, he thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
There was nothing he could do. After all, he was saved by others, so Benjamin could only admit defeat and patiently help them look at the fields. He also planned to leave quickly, but thinking about it carefully, he had no ability to protect himself now, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so he might as well hide here, at least his safety would be guaranteed.
Who knows if he will be caught by the church people as he rushes to Pearl Lake
At least, he had to stay here until the big man Hal went to a nearby town and came back to get almost all the news before he could determine what he should do next
Before that, he could only help these three people look at the ground for a while.
In this way, after giving instructions, Nina led the other two people away, while Benjamin sat cross-legged on the edge of the field, looked around for a while, and then entered the consciousness space again.
He doesn't really intend to be a conscientious security guard. He could use this long period of time to continue repairing the cracks.
As for what happens if wild animals come to cause trouble in the fields...
It doesn’t matter, isn’t there still a system
"Do you know how rare it is to have an artificial intelligence like me?" The system seemed to feel insulted, and its anger had nowhere to vent. "What's the result? In the end, you asked me to help you look outside, and a wild beast appeared. Just call you? In your eyes, this is all I’m worth? What do you think I am?”
"...Chinese Pastoral Dog?" Benjamin answered after thinking for a while.
There was a sound of mechanical failure. If the system had an entity, it would be smoking at this moment.
In this way, Benjamin "pacified" the system's emotions and let it act as an alarm obediently. He devoted himself to the long repair project, constantly mobilizing the water element and pouring it into the huge cracks in the consciousness space.
In fact, after these days of repairs, the crack has become a quarter smaller than it was at the beginning. Benjamin estimated that in about a month, the entire consciousness space will be repaired.
A month... is a bit long.
He couldn't hide in this small valley for a month.
To be honest, if the church is still trying its best to find him, let alone a month, Benjamin estimates that the group of people will be able to find this place in half a month, or even shorter.
He had to regain his fighting strength as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I was born to work hard, and I can't take any time off even if I want to.
In this way, while repairing the cracks, he let the system guard the fields for him. Although there will be guys such as squirrels and pig badgers running over to steal food, they are all small animals and it is not difficult to catch them. Therefore, Benjamin's restoration progress has not been greatly disturbed.
At noon, his sister Sandy came over and brought him some food. But the younger sister was shy and didn't say anything. She threw two pieces of dry bread towards Benjamin, turned around and ran away covering her face.
The dry bread was very hard and hit Benjamin's face hard, almost breaking his nose.
“…”
How could a six-year-old girl have such strong hands
Benjamin caught the bread, held it in his hand, and rubbed his face again. He looked at Sandy's running back, was speechless for a while, and then ate the bread silently.
After the small interlude at lunch, Benjamin continued his work without saying anything else. He spent the entire afternoon repairing the cracks. In this way, time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye. And Hal, the former bandit who went to town to buy things, finally returned here.
He brought two pieces of news for Benjamin.
The first article talks about the plague that has been spreading wildly in the royal capital recently, and caused a big incident yesterday.
It is said that more than 30,000 people infected with the plague died at the same time yesterday. At this moment, everyone in the royal capital was almost frightened, but the church's response was also very quick. They distributed pensions to the families of each deceased, saying that these 30,000 people had died gloriously in the struggle against the mage. They also stated that the mage who spread the "plague" had been eliminated by them, and there would be no more When similar things happen, the people of the royal capital don't have to worry.
Therefore, although the capital was still not very peaceful and many people were running out, many people got the money anyway. Therefore, the whole incident did not cause much dissatisfaction among the people.
However, Benjamin didn't bother to check whether the church was rebelled by the masses.
First, thirty thousand people died, which was enough to shock him. He remembered clearly that when the curse was first placed, Michelle said that this thing would not kill anyone. It wasn't that he believed Michelle's words, but he didn't expect that Michelle could actually do such a thing.
Darling... This is already considered an antisocial personality.
Benjamin sighed and felt lingering fear.
When he first heard about this place, he thought this was enough to shock him. However, immediately after hearing "the mages who spread the plague have been eliminated", he was still stunned.
