When he heard this sentence, Benjamin was shocked. However, he did not make any immediate move or answer. Instead, he maintained a surprised expression on his face. In fact, he turned on the water element sensor and began to carefully scan everything in the entire store.
The room past the corridor, the second floor connected by stairs, the kitchen with the side door open... The store is not big, so except for things that should not be seen, Benjamin inspected the place carefully.
However, he found no one.
He found neither the "lady" who had appeared among the bandits, nor the strange young man who revealed his identity. As for Augustine who was taken away, needless to say, he didn't even find the slightest trace of him. .
This still made him a little disappointed.
It seemed that those two people did not stop at Sydney.
"Hey, why are you dazed? Just tell me if you have anything to say. What do you want from me?" Benjamin probably spent a lot of time exploring the entire store, so Sydney showed an impatient expression and urged.
"I'm sorry." Benjamin came back to his senses, thought for a while, and made up an excuse casually, "Before, a merchant ship on the Fit River was attacked by robbers, and a blond lady on the ship was also kidnapped by the robbers. I was the victim of a robbery. I have been asked to investigate this matter. I heard that you are a friend of that lady. I wonder if you have any news about her? "
Hearing this, Sydney showed a strange expression and did not answer immediately.
When Benjamin saw this, he was also happy.
Do you still need to ask? If the other party didn't know anything, how could he react like this? He found the right person. The person written on the discarded letter was the Sydney in front of him.
You've found the right place.
Of course, while he was happy, Benjamin did not let down his guard. In fact, he has quietly stored magic in his conscious space. If anything happens, he can take action at any time.
While his expression was normal but his heart was tense, Sydney, who was silent, finally spoke.
"Which side are you from? Carites or Frieden?" The indifference in the language disappeared at this moment, and the sudden cold eyes also made Benjamin stunned.
Which side is it from
What does it mean
After hesitating for a moment, Benjamin crossed his arms and replied calmly: "I don't understand what this sentence means. I have never been to the two countries you mentioned."
Hearing this, Sydney was stunned for a moment, with doubt in her expression: "So, you are not here to hunt us down?"
"Why am I chasing you?" Benjamin's rich experience in disguise also made Benjamin's expression look particularly sincere at this moment, "I just want to find that lady and find out what happened at that time, that's all."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. If I'm here to chase you, then I should bring a few more people with me. Why do I appear here alone?"
"That's true..."
Benjamin's innocent and sincere eyes remained for a long time, and finally, the suspicion in Sydney's eyes gradually faded. Although her eyes were still a little confused, it seemed that she had let down her guard against Benjamin.
After probably thinking about it for a while, Sydney finally spoke:
"Regina, who just arrived here, came here to look for me a few days ago. However, I don't know the specific circumstances of the merchant ship's crash."
Benjamin quickly asked: "Then do you know where she is now? Don't worry, I really don't have any ill intentions towards you, I just have some questions I want to ask her."
After hesitating for a while, Sydney nodded and said: "She is still in Regina, but I don't know her specific residence. She will come to me again in two days. At that time, I can ask on your behalf." The situation at that time, but..."
Just when Sydney was about to continue speaking in the middle of her words, suddenly, her left hand quickly pulled out a gun from under the table. She pointed the gun at Benjamin, her expression suddenly changed, and with a sneer, she pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom!
"Do you really think I will be deceived by you?" At the same time, she said.
Ridiculing words, accompanied by harsh gunshots, sounded in this dark and damp "massage" parlor. The distance between Sydney and Benjamin was not that far to begin with. As soon as the gun was taken out, the bullet almost hit the tip of Benjamin's nose as soon as it came out of the barrel.
However, there was no trace of panic on Benjamin's expression.
While the opponent was shooting, a thin film of water appeared in front of him. The bullet hit the water film, making a muffled sound, then bounced away feebly and fell to the ground. It could not even scratch the skin on Benjamin's nose, let alone kill him.
- Bullets that have not been enchanted cannot break even the simplest magic barrier.
Suddenly, the mocking sneer on Sydney's face froze.
Obviously, Benjamin had already prepared for this scene. Sydney's gun hidden under the table had already been discovered by him using the water element induction method. He just kept pretending not to notice it.
"I didn't intend to lie to you." He spread his hands innocently and said, "I'm just too lazy to take action, so I want to try my luck. If you are really stupid, then I will make money. It's a pity, I just ended up just I can take action now.”
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and cast a seemingly smiling look at the other party.
Sydney's hand holding the gun began to tremble slightly.
"You, you are a mage." It could be heard from the voice. Although she had been trying to keep it down, she began to panic, "Freden's mage will still chase me one day. How could I not have thought... "
"I am indeed a mage, but I really have nothing to do with Freden." Benjamin could only shake his head and said, "Although I just told a lot of lies, believe me, this sentence is absolutely true. .”
Unfortunately, the other party obviously would not believe what he said.
After trying to kill Benjamin but failing, the owner of the "massage" shop could only look at the gun in his hand. Suddenly, he turned the gun and pointed it at his temple.
She was ready to commit suicide.
"Just give up, I won't sue you for anything..."
Fortunately, after experiencing the priest's suicide, Benjamin had some experience. Therefore, before Sydney could pull the trigger, he summoned a water ball, and without half a second of pause, he directly hit Sydney.
The poor guy, before he could even finish his declaration before committing suicide, was hit by a water balloon that was taller than a human. He instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground. Her gun also came out of her hands, a small ball of water separated from Benjamin's control, and was confiscated without hesitation.
Then, Benjamin used the ice-breaking technique to condense ice cubes and firmly control the dizzy Sydney.
"I... Oh my god, it's so, so cold." Her voice started to tremble as soon as her limbs were frozen.
Obviously, aside from the sexy title of massage parlor owner, she is just an ordinary person. She does not have the strong physique of a knight, nor the skills blessed by magic potions. She was frozen in the ice like this. After being frozen for a long time, she became Lifelong disability is possible.
However, Benjamin didn't have the slightest idea of pity for her.
"I admire your loyalty to your friends." His tone was so calm that it seemed to be filled with anger. "It's a pity that your friend has to have trouble with my friend. I am not a person without loyalty, so I I won’t let you go.”
After a brief pause, he emphasized his tone, as cold as a professional killer in the movie: "Where is she?"
