Benjamin laughed dumbly.
The moment he saw this sentence, he could even imagine the scene in his mind - Michelle's ghost showed an expression of unbearable anger when he saw this sentence, and might even curse. But in the end, in desperation, she could do nothing but leave angry curse words on the side.
"Son of a bitch..." Benjamin couldn't help but recited this sentence silently again.
To be honest, if he died under the red crystal and became an undead creature, he would probably not be in a better mood than Michelle at that time if he saw this "soul flame" left behind.
This so-called legacy is really a scam.
Fortunately, he has a conscious space, and there is still a gap in the conscious space.
Benjamin shook his head. In the end, he could only put all this behind him and continue to move forward.
No matter what, the words left behind are true. Following this cave, he was able to reach the Valley of the Broken Army in the east of the kingdom. In this way, he can completely escape the pursuit of the church and escape from the kingdom.
Having this is enough, isn't it
In fact, it is indeed a wonder to have such a long underground cave. Benjamin estimated that the entire road might even be several hundred kilometers long, and he didn’t know how long he would have to walk here.
Benjamin couldn't help but think of the series of errands he had asked Jeremy to do before.
Things are changing!
He could somewhat understand why Jeremy would look so desperate and numb every time he had to run errands. After walking along the cave for about two days, his expression was already even more numb than Jeremy's at that time.
To be honest, staying in this dark cave all the time, with no other way of entertainment except playing with the system as a ball every day, can drive people crazy.
He could only walk on the road, stop to rest when he was tired, and repair the cracks in his consciousness space. In this way, he walked for more than half a month. At the end, the dry bread in the basket was moldy, and he had to cherish it and save it. Fortunately, his stomach and intestines were strong and he was not sick. No one could understand this kind of fear.
The only thing worth celebrating is probably that he completed the repair work of his consciousness space during this period of time.
As he walked around, he kept pouring water elements into the cracks, and the explosion had no impact on the cracks. He repaired it all the way, and when he was almost reaching the end of the cave, the cracks became smaller and smaller. Finally, with a faint wave, the crack closed completely and disappeared into the vast darkness of the consciousness space.
At that moment, the headache that had been with Benjamin for more than a month disappeared.
Although he was basically used to that kind of headache, once it disappeared completely, it felt like a virgin who had been single for half his life finally got rid of his virginity. normal.
Finally, you can unleash your magic unbridled again!
Although the exploding rune water still didn't come back, at least he had two other magics. Therefore, he used the Steam Pillar on the spot, supported himself and flew forward, no longer afraid of breaking his legs.
It's been a long time since I felt like using magic heartily.
However, due to the disappearance of the rune water, the other two runes seemed to have been affected to some extent. When the magic was used, the intensity was about 10% or 20% worse than before.
Benjamin was helpless, but there was nothing he could do. The big water polo left him with the sequelae, and he could only slowly return to his cultivation.
He used the ice breaking technique to summon an ice crystal at the original location of the rune water, and then gathered the water elements into the ice crystal, preparing to re-condensate the magical runes of the water ball technique. Fortunately, the process went smoothly this time, and there was no explosion like before.
Before, what he was most worried about was that after the rune water exploded, it would not be able to condense again. Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen. This cultivation method of opening up the space of consciousness is quite flexible.
In this way, he flew and ran, time passed, and the cave finally came to an end.
"Fuck... I saw the sun."
After nearly a month of underground life, Benjamin came to an exit in the mountains. He stepped on the ground again and faced the clear sky, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
If he stayed any longer, he doubted whether he would be driven mad.
It's really...an indescribable feeling.
"In this situation, I think I should read a poem to express my generous heart." The system also spoke in his consciousness, sighing.
"You are just an egg now, and an egg is not qualified to speak." Benjamin said mercilessly, "Don't think that if there are no cracks and there is no way to throw you away, you will have a good life."
“…”
The system shut up in embarrassment.
Just like that, Benjamin left the underground passage and checked the surrounding environment. Everything was correct. So, he walked towards the nearest town.
As for the map of this area, even if the system didn't remind him, he would already know it by heart.
The nearest town here is the Kingdom's easternmost border town, Crewe Town.
It is a small town attached to the Valley of the Broken Arms and the Crusader Gate. Whether it is merchants who want to return from trade or priests who want to go abroad to preach, they will stay here for repairs. Over time, a good economic level has developed here. It can be said that Crewe Town is the only place to go in and out of the kingdom. Everyone who wants to leave or enter the country cannot bypass this place.
It just so happened that Benjamin was also hungry at this moment and needed to be replenished.
He is not worried about the church wanting him. Although the albino disguise has completely faded away, his hair has grown a lot in the past half month after passing through the underground passage. His clothes are ragged, his face is dirty, and there are still dark circles around his eyes. He looks like a savage. No different.
If anyone can still recognize his face, then consider them awesome.
The town of Crewe was only a few kilometers away from the cave's exit. Benjamin first used the water vapor to carry him flying for a while, and then started to use the walking wheel after getting closer, and soon entered the town.
After more than half a month, seeing a human face again became a new thing for Benjamin at this moment.
—As if he had truly become a savage.
As a border town, originally, in Benjamin's imagination, the folk customs here should be very tough. The streets were full of people walking around with long swords, fighting if they disagreed. However, when he actually came here, he discovered that this town gave him a wonderful sense of leisure.
"Brother, would you like a piece of our specialty black bread? Every passenger passing by will buy one for self-defense. It is said that someone even used it to kill a grizzly bear!"
“…”
After getting rid of all the flaws in his words, the young man who came over with a cart to sell things didn't show any strange expression even when he faced the savage-like Benjamin, as if he didn't care about it all.
Benjamin couldn't help but be infected by this cheerfulness and casualness.
"Then... have a piece."
He had a big bag of gold coins that he snatched from Dick. Not to mention one piece, he could buy even a cartload of them. Besides, he was hungry too. No matter how unpalatable the hard, long brown bread is, it is better than moldy dry bread, right
After traveling for so long, it’s time to take a rest.
In this way, Benjamin seemed to have arrived in a tourist town. He ate and drank, prepared some dry food for the next day, changed into new clothes, and disguised himself to make sure that he would not be recognized.
After resting for about half a day, in the evening, he took his luggage, pretended to be a businessman, and set out again, heading towards the Crusad gate on the east side of the town.
He was about to cross the border of Hori Kingdom.
