Standing in front of Dick, asking for gold coins and food, Benjamin, pretending to be a strange visitor, was actually a little distressed at this moment.
His initial idea was simple.
The Foer family was as rich as any country in the world. Except for the church, no one in the entire kingdom was richer than them. As the eldest son of the Foer family, Dick appeared in this small village for unknown reasons, but in terms of wealth, he was definitely one of the best.
Therefore, when Benjamin discovered Dick, the solution to the ration problem naturally fell on Dick.
After experiencing the encirclement and suppression of mages in the theater, Benjamin also roughly deduced the secret of the Foer family - they are definitely connected with the Silent Academy.
Although he didn't know if the contact was broken now, whether they still had secret communication or not, Benjamin could use this to get some benefits from Dick.
Ax had begun to train Dick as his successor very early, so Benjamin believed that Dick would know something about the Silent Academy. Maybe he didn't know much, but it would be better if he didn't know much. It would be easier for Benjamin to fool Dick.
So, he claimed to be from the Silent Academy and came to visit Dick. And everything went as he thought. When Dick saw him, he didn't recognize his appearance, and when he heard the words "Silent Academy", he showed a panicked expression.
Well, very good, the situation is very optimistic, the plan is going very well...
However, somewhat to his surprise, Dick seemed frightened by him.
Before he could ask for food, Dick opened his mouth in a panic, and like a faucet that couldn't be closed, all kinds of strange and messy things popped out of his mouth one after another. When he first heard it, he felt a little surprised, but gradually it became a little baffling.
How could he possibly hear any useful information from this guy who was throwing hammers and sticks here and there
Therefore, he could only interrupt Dick unbearably.
But unfortunately, after being interrupted like this, Dick seemed to have recovered from the initial shock and gradually began to think calmly. This didn't look good for Benjamin, so he quickly put on a fierce look and started asking Dick for money for the food.
but…
"Your robbery was too unprofessional. Have you watched TVB for so many years in vain?" The system couldn't help but come out and complain to Benjamin.
Benjamin couldn't help it, there was a first time for everything. If he had known better, before leaving the valley, he would have consulted the professional Hal about the knowledge and skills of robbery.
"You... who are you?" Dick didn't seem that stupid. After seeing Benjamin's performance, he finally began to have doubts.
"I'm from the Silent Academy." After thinking about it, Benjamin had no choice but to endure the old wounds in his mental power and recited an ice-breaking spell.
Accompanied by a sharp pain in his head and the gentle vibration of the rune ice, several tiny pieces of ice emerged from his hand, and flew towards Dick like a few darts.
He was not aiming at Dick, so the broken ice just passed by Dick, slicing off a strand of hair and hitting the wall behind him, making several crisp sounds.
this…
Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
He was planning to use magic to scare Dick, but he almost scared himself.
The first time he used magic after the crack appeared, even if he didn't use even 30% of his previous strength, it already made his head hurt so much. Not only that, but what's even more confusing is that the power of this ice-breaking technique is surprisingly weak.
The mental damage was more serious than he imagined...
No, he can no longer use magic until the crack is completely repaired.
"Don't kill me, I... I'll give you everything!" Fortunately, Dick was obviously frightened by this, and did not notice Benjamin's strangeness. Instead, he leaned half-paralyzed on the chair and said in a trembling voice Thread said so.
"Give me food and gold coins, and I guarantee that you will never see me again." Benjamin endured his headache, put away all his expressions, and made an unpredictable look without sadness or joy.
"Don't kill me. There's a lot of food in the warehouse next door. Gold coins... I have gold coins here. I'll give them to you, I'll give them all to you!"
As he spoke, Dick took out a large bag of gold coins from his pocket and threw it tremblingly at Benjamin.
You can tell from the size of the purse and the heavy sound when it hits the ground that this is definitely a pretty generous sum of money. How rich must Dick's family be when they carry such a large sum of money with them
At least, the Reese family is incomparable to them.
Thinking like this, Benjamin knelt down and picked up the bulging money bag.
Just as he lowered his head to hold the money, Dick, who was half slumped in the chair, suddenly changed his expression and pulled out a gun from under the chair. He shut the safety as fast as he could and pulled the trigger on Benjamin.
really…
Benjamin squatted there without moving.
The bullet flew past his left hand and hit an unknown place. And he shrugged helplessly, put away his wallet, raised his head, and looked at Dick with a stunned expression.
"Next time you make a surprise attack like this, remember to aim more accurately."
Perhaps Dick was too nervous. When he was drawing the gun, Benjamin heard the noise and realized the counter-killing thoughts in Dick's heart.
But to be honest, for a dude with extremely poor psychological quality like Dick, using a gun to defend himself is really not a good choice. Benjamin felt that even if he squatted here and let Dick finish a box of bullets, Dick might not be able to hit him.
Not everyone can have a shooting interface.
Because of this, he didn't even dodge. He was afraid that he would be hit by a bullet due to his quick dodge, god-level positioning, and fancy catching of bullets. How embarrassing that would be.
"No, it's not good..." However, seeing that he had missed the shot, Dick threw the gun aside in panic, staggered back a few steps, and almost tripped over the chamber pot at his feet.
His eyes did not fall on Benjamin, but behind him.
Seeing this, Benjamin quickly turned his head with a puzzled expression.
Behind him on his left hand side, against the wall, was a cabinet with an oil lamp. The cabinet was hit by Dick's shot. It was shaken, the oil lamp knocked over, and the flames fell on the wooden cabinet. The top of the cabinet gradually burned.
… I rub it.
It's a big deal now.
Seeing this scene, Benjamin's instinctive reaction was to use water polo to put out the fire, but he quickly thought that the rune water had exploded long ago and he couldn't use water polo. So he turned back and set his sights on Dick again.
Dick looked panicked—for once, he wasn't faking it.
After thinking about it, before the servant came over, Benjamin ran over and punched Dick hard in the face when Dick had no ability to resist.
"You, what are you doing..." Dick was stunned by the punch, and there was even a cry in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to knock you out, but I didn't seem to have the strength." Benjamin scratched his head and punched Dick again as he spoke.
However, Dick let out a cry of pain again, but he was still very conscious.
"Why haven't you fainted yet?" Benjamin rubbed his fists and complained ferociously.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know why I haven't fainted yet..." Dick replied with a painful and helpless expression after hearing this.
"trouble… "
Seeing this, Benjamin did not punch him a third time, but turned back and glanced at the burning cabinet.
The fire did not become smaller, but gradually spread to the wall, and the surrounding air became slightly distorted due to the scorching temperature. There is no doubt that if effective measures are not taken to extinguish the fire, the raging flames will surround the entire room.
It’s really tricky…
In the distance, the servants' exclamations could be heard.
"Wait... I, I recognize you." Suddenly, Dick seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "Oh my god, are you... Benjamin? Or Grant? How... what's going on? Who are you and why? Has it become like this?"
Hearing this, Benjamin laughed twice in disbelief.
It seems that even if you are close, you can still be recognized.
He didn't answer, but ran straight to the window of the room and kicked open the closed window. With the sound of shattering glass, Dick was startled again.
Benjamin climbed up, climbed out through the window, and escaped from the room.
"Hey, do you want to stay in and be burned to death?" After climbing out of the window skillfully, Benjamin turned around, looked at Dick who didn't know what to do in the room, and shouted, "The door is already on fire. It’s hard for you to escape from there.”
Hearing this, Dick also came back to his senses. He glanced in a panic at the door that had been spread by the fire, then at Benjamin outside the window, and reluctantly glanced at the chamber pot at his feet. Finally, he ran towards the window and hurriedly climbed up.
Although his movements were a bit awkward, Dick managed to get out through the window after several efforts.
Bang!
As soon as he climbed out of the window, Benjamin swept under his legs. Dick was caught off guard and tripped to the ground, covering his face with mud.
"This is to prevent you from exposing my traces." Benjamin shook his head helplessly and said.
After saying that, before Dick could react, he turned around and ran towards the north. After a while, he ran away and disappeared from Dick's sight without a trace.
"You... you son of a bitch!" Dick finally came back to his senses. He spit out the weed that he had poured into his mouth, looked at the direction where Benjamin disappeared, and cursed angrily.
In the window, the growing firelight reflected his back as he barely got up from the ground.
