"Brother Soldier, you can't do things like this." Suddenly being tricked, Benjamin said with a helpless expression.
"Sorry, that's the rule, and we can't accommodate it." The soldier replied coldly.
"Then give me my money back." Benjamin immediately said with a straight face.
"What money? Why didn't I know?" Probably because their faces were covered by helmets, these soldiers became more and more shameless when they spoke.
Benjamin was so angry that he almost took action.
To be honest, if you weren't afraid of exposing your identity, it would be a piece of cake to get rid of these three soldiers, even the magic power fluctuates. But if the three soldiers disappeared innocently, the official would definitely investigate, and Benjamin had to endure the impulse in his heart.
The bribe of a few gold coins was, to be honest, quite generous. In this way, he still wanted to play "black and white". Benjamin really didn't know what these three soldiers wanted to do.
"Okay, just take a trip. I'd like to talk to your immediate boss." So, he narrowed his eyes, put on an old Jianghu look that was not afraid of anything, and said, "I'm not either I don’t know anyone, but if the people above know that you took my money, I’ll see if you can survive in Ikol.”
He knew very well that it was best not to meet the official people, so as not to reveal his flaws. But at this time, no matter what you lose, you can't lose your momentum. What matters is who is more powerful.
As long as he puts on an appearance of "there is someone above me", the other party may not dare to touch him.
The soldiers' reaction was as Benjamin expected. After hearing this, the three of them were silent, seeming to be thinking about something. For a moment, no one in the entire room spoke.
Seeing this, Benjamin crossed his hands and stared at the three soldiers coldly, trying to put more pressure on them.
"...This gentleman." Finally, a soldier spoke and said, "Okay, since you want to see our immediate superior, then we will take you to see him and let him talk to you."
“…”
What kind of attitude is this
Benjamin suddenly felt that something was not right.
Would ordinary soldiers really say such things without any scruples
Thinking like this, Benjamin couldn't help but activate the water element perception method and sense the three guys hiding behind the armor. However, what surprised him was that he actually felt elemental changes and fluctuations in mental power from these three people.
-These three people are not searching soldiers, they are mages.
This was scary enough, but what was even weirder was that the face of one of the people seemed a bit familiar to Benjamin inexplicably.
Where...where have you seen it
"In Hank Town." The system popped up and reminded, "Do you remember? It was the man sent by the Mages Guild to invite you, named Hawke. He was knocked unconscious by you, tied up, and locked up in a hotel room. that."
Hearing this, Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
Mages Guild…
Being reminded by the system, all the details at that time were suddenly recalled. At that time, it was this guy who said he hoped Benjamin could come to Regina, but the note in his pocket said not to let Benjamin come to Regina, which made Benjamin confused.
And now, this guy dressed up as a soldier and came to him again!
What does he want to do
"No, I won't go." Therefore, Benjamin suddenly took a few steps back, distanced himself from the three of them, and said, "I doubt your identity. You are not soldiers at all. Please leave my room immediately, otherwise don't blame me. You are welcome."
Three mages came to the door sneakily, most likely related to the Mages Guild. If he really followed the orders of the Mages Guild, it means that Benjamin's hidden identity has now been exposed.
Trouble...
For a while, Benjamin couldn’t think of any good solution. Who knows what the purpose of the Mages Guild's tireless search for him is? Should he kill these three and escape from Regina
But, can he escape
"Sir, it seems you recognized me." At this moment, Hawke suddenly took off his helmet, revealing his true face, and said with a smile, "Before you left Hank Town, you really gave me I left a big gift."
Seeing this, Benjamin could only take a deep breath and regain his composure.
there is always a solution to a problem. In this situation, he can only see what the other party wants to do, and then take action.
"Sorry, I'm not used to accepting strange invitations, especially when the other party's true purpose is unclear." Benjamin said while casting a spell in his mind and summoning a small water ball.
He held the compressed water ball and looked at the other party, with a faint murderous intent in his indifferent eyes.
"If that's the case, we're sorry. But in the end, you still came to Regina, didn't you?" In this regard, Hawke still had no intention of taking action and said calmly.
"I came to Regina for my own purpose and it has nothing to do with you." Benjamin replied.
"Maybe..." Hawke shook his head and said, "Sir, please believe that we have no ill intentions. We came here disguised as soldiers just to avoid the eyes and ears of certain people. As long as you follow us to the Mages Guild , you understand everything. Including your companions who were left in Hank Town are now also guests in our guild, and the news has not been exposed."
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
Did Augustine really fall into their hands
To be honest, Benjamin would rather make a deal with Miles and let him bring Augustine over, and then a group of mages like them would find a way to leave Regina and run as far away as possible.
However, the Mages Guild came to visit at this time. Therefore, the situation becomes quite difficult.
Can he really get involved with this huge, mysterious and complex organization
"I'll go with you..." Thinking this, Benjamin shook his head and said, "After I go, can I come back? Let's not beat around the bush here. I'll also read the note in your pocket. Now, what is your real purpose? Maybe I can’t fight against the entire Mage Guild, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with the three of you.”
As he spoke, he shook the compressed water balloon in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Hawke immediately spread his hands, indicating that he had no intention of taking action, and said: "Please believe me, our purpose is actually just to hope that you leave Ikol as soon as possible."
…Leave Ikol
Benjamin mused.
It seemed that the words on that note were true, and the Mages Guild did not want him to enter Regina at all. I said those words at first just to scare Benjamin away.
"Don't worry, we won't stay here any longer." So, he replied calmly, "Give Augustine back to me, and we will leave when the surrounding warning is lifted."
However, Hawke shook his head and said with some urgency: "No, you don't understand. Her Majesty the Queen will return to the palace tomorrow, and you must leave Regina before tonight. Otherwise, the news will be revealed to other mages in the guild Report it to us, and you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.”
Benjamin frowned: "What do you mean?"
Just when Hawke opened his mouth to answer, suddenly, an old voice came from behind Benjamin:
"Forget it, let me talk to him."
Benjamin turned around in shock. I saw that in the corner of the originally empty room, a strange old man suddenly appeared.
The old man was wearing a black mage robe, but his hair was spotless white, and his beard was almost hanging to the ground like a waterfall. He had his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes, and looking at Benjamin with a half-smiling expression.
Benjamin almost broke into a cold sweat from the fright.
It’s so evil…
When did he come into the room? Why don't I feel anything
While Benjamin was surprised, the three mages dressed as soldiers also stepped forward. The other two men took off their helmets, and together with Hawke, they looked at the old man and bowed respectfully.
"President." They said in unison.
