When he saw this sentence, countless thoughts flashed through Benjamin's mind.
To be honest, the story of first becoming Mrs. Yazhai and then inexplicably becoming the bandit leader sounds a bit bizarre. Benjamin couldn't help but think in the direction of conspiracy theories - at such a perfect time, he led the bandits and Benjamin A group of people "encountered" by chance. The lady was not prepared, and Benjamin didn't believe it.
But what is her purpose
Benjamin couldn't think clearly anyway. Could it be that... Augustine had some personal dispute with her, so she kidnapped him
However, there is no use thinking about it now.
Benjamin could only lower his head, look at the letter in his hand, and fell into deep thought. In the dim light, this crumpled letter draft that had been altered countless times had become his only clue at the moment.
There was no doubt that he had to get Augustine back. These people trust him. They believe that Benjamin can guide them to a bright future, and Benjamin does not want to betray their trust. He left the Kingdom of Hori with this group of mages, but without these mages, he would still be stuck in Crewe Town, unable to move.
He couldn't let anything happen to them, not even just one of them.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly smiled to himself.
He didn't know why, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of a movie "No One Left Behind" that he had watched when he was a child. He felt as if he was that teacher. He met these people by chance and only knew each other for a month or two. He somehow became their leader, but he suddenly felt strong in his heart.
—He wants to take these half-baked mages out of Ikol and find them a place where they can live freely.
It's not that he is noble or great, it's just that he feels responsible.
"It is said that human beings are creatures that are easily moved by themselves. Today I have seen it." The system appeared out of nowhere and said in a slightly mocking tone.
"If you can't even move yourself, what courage will you have to continue working? Retire as soon as possible." Benjamin shrugged and replied in his heart.
"... Whatever you want." The system said casually.
Benjamin didn't pay attention to the system anymore, but held the piece of paper, closed his eyes and thought about it. Soon, he made his next decision.
"You guys deal with these bandits, and then continue on the road, continue walking along the previous route, and reach the place we originally agreed on." He suddenly turned around and said to the mages, "Don't worry about me, I'm very good I'll meet you soon."
"Mr. Benjamin...are you going to find Augustine alone?" Wallis asked hesitantly.
Benjamin nodded.
"I'm going too! You can't leave us here. I've learned how to fly, and I won't hold you back!" Joanna immediately ran out and shouted.
Following this, many mages also became excited. Augustine was originally their companion, and they had known each other for much longer than Benjamin. When he disappeared like this, they certainly couldn't stand by and watch. One or two of them shouted that they must follow to find Augustine.
Although Benjamin was very moved, he also felt a little headache.
Judging from the contents of the letter, it is very likely that this lady took Augustine to the capital city of Regina. Besides, even if she didn't go, Benjamin would still have to find the person named "Sydney" to see if there were any clues. Therefore, he had to go to Regina.
However, judging from the various behaviors of the church and the Mages Guild, something might happen near the capital. Therefore, Benjamin still felt that it would be more convenient to go alone.
Taking a large group of people with him, if something happens again, how can he protect so many people
"No, you will really hold me back." Therefore, he said.
Faced with this situation, he originally wanted to say some tragic and sensational words to highlight his heroic spirit. As a result, he found that he didn't seem to be very good at this thing. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the meaning changed a bit.
It seems... a bit hurtful to one's self-esteem
At the same time, after hearing this, all the mages looked at Benjamin and fell silent.
Just when Benjamin was hesitant to make up some lies to comfort everyone, suddenly, Laila spoke up and said confidently: "Yes, we are really too weak. Teacher Benjamin, can you bear to let us go on our own? ?What if someone on our side is captured again after you leave? If you don’t take us to find Augustin, we will definitely die in the next wave of Warcraft attacks. In that case , we won’t let you go even if we become ghosts!”
“…”
Benjamin was shocked by this shameless spirit.
… What else could he say
It's him who worries too much.
After spending so long with this group of people, what on earth was wrong with his mind to make him think that what he just said hurt their self-esteem? This group of people is completely unbeatable within their own logic.
It’s over. The atmosphere that had just created a little bit of self-impression was completely ruined.
"Do you really have to go?" Benjamin asked helplessly.
Under the dim moonlight, more than 20 mages smiled like pigs who are not afraid of boiling water. They looked at Benjamin and nodded in unison like chickens pecking at rice.
Benjamin couldn't help but be amused by this scene.
"Then... okay." After shaking his head, Benjamin couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's save Augustine from that lady's hands together!"
Suddenly, all the mages cheered.
When Benjamin saw this, he could only silently push away Frank, who jumped over to hug him, and showed a helpless smile.
Although what Mage Laila said was a bit exaggerated, she did have her point. No one can predict what dangers there will be on the next route. If Benjamin left like this, if something unexpected happened, he would definitely not be able to handle it while he was far away in Regina.
In this case, it is better for everyone to stay together and solve any problems together. No matter how chaotic the capital is, we will all die together.
Hmm... This mentality is really optimistic!
In this way, the next action was determined, and Benjamin and his party did not hesitate. Augustine and the "lady" disappeared not long ago, so after solving the remaining bandits, they immediately set off, flying if they could fly, and running if they couldn't fly. First, they searched the area to see if they could see it. See if you can find any trace of the other party.
However, after searching around here for a long time, they found nothing. Let alone people, there is not even a trace of magic release. It was as if Augustine was taken away without any resistance, and the "madam" left so fast that they couldn't catch up even with their flying skills.
They searched for probably most of the night, but they had no choice but to stop and set up camp again. They had no choice but to rest for a night. The next day, they continued to search in the direction of the capital.
The next day after changing their route, while walking and searching, they inevitably walked onto the main road and met other pedestrians. Therefore, they began to deliberately hide their identities and dress up as merchants. Led by Wallis, who was originally a merchant, they disguised the materials harvested from the monsters as goods and continued to move toward the northeast.
Unfortunately, no matter whether they asked passers-by or searched for magic fluctuations, they never found any clues.
In this way, they passed through several small villages like a dragonfly, and seven days later, they arrived at a city called Jiade. In this city closest to Regina, they finally found traces of the "lady".
