In this way, after dealing with the traces of the battle at the scene, Benjamin and his party quickly left here in a carriage.
The battle just now still caused quite a stir. Fortunately, the location here is far away from Regina, and the surrounding patrol teams are not dense. Otherwise, other soldiers would probably be lured over.
And now, all the witnesses have been solved, and it is impossible for Hawke to inform him and harm himself. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. At the end of the whole incident, it was probably a bunch of inspectors who disappeared for no reason. The Mages Guild was "shocked" and vigorously pursued the investigation, but in the end they just whitewashed various excuses and let it go.
As for Hawke, after seeing Benjamin and the others off again, he waved goodbye and turned around to leave. Only Benjamin and his party were left, riding in a carriage and moving forward.
On the way, Benjamin also worked with the system to re-plan the route. Because of the carriage, they could travel much faster, and they could meditate while driving, which was very convenient. Therefore, Benjamin decided to rely on horse-drawn carriages until he reached near the Fit River, and then let the coachmen leave.
At that time, they would use magic to fly across the river, and they would be very close to Freden.
However, as for the credibility of these drivers...
Thinking of this, Benjamin's lips suddenly curved into a sneer.
Soon, the time came for the first evening after leaving Regina, and the group stopped on their way. They parked the carriage by a woods, got out of the car to get some air, rested for a while, and were ready to have dinner.
"Well... what's your name? Come here, I have something to ask you." Suddenly, Benjamin patted a coachman on the shoulder and whispered to him.
The coachman was stunned for a moment, but when he saw it was Benjamin, he did not dare to object. So, he put down the bread in his hand, with a look of confusion on his face, and followed Benjamin to a few trees not far away.
After ensuring that others did not notice this, Benjamin turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, looked at the coachman coldly, and said, "Why are you here again?"
The driver showed a confused expression and said, "Mr. Master, isn't it your request? I... will drive you here."
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Okay, stop pretending. I was fooled by you once, do you think I will be fooled a second time? Miles, isn't it? Pretending to be a coachman again, what on earth do you want?"
He is not unscrupulous. If he wants four coachmen to travel together, he will definitely observe them carefully. After turning on the water element perception, he soon discovered that the driver who spoke the most "sincerely" at that time was the young man disguised as before.
What a haunting guy.
Benjamin was quite helpless about this. Because he was afraid, he couldn't just show off his face in front of other mages. So in the end, he had no choice but to find an opportunity to show off his cards and see what this guy wanted to do.
Because of Sydney's curse, at least Miles wouldn't do anything to him. But if this guy really hinders his next trip, then Benjamin can only think of some way to get rid of him.
"How did you recognize me?" Finally, Miles stopped acting and asked in disbelief in front of the coachman's face.
"Because your disguise skills are really bad." Of course Benjamin would not tell the truth.
“…”
Probably because his professional ability was questioned, Miles choked and did not speak.
"Why are you following us?" Benjamin asked.
"For the mission." Miles' answer was still the same. "Besides, Sydney still has your curse on her. You just left Regina. What if her curse breaks out one day?"
Benjamin shook his head and said: "As long as I am alive, the curse will not get out of control. I don't want it to happen, so it won't."
Miles frowned: "Why do I think your statement about the curse seems to be made up?"
Benjamin looked indifferent: "Okay, you can try to kill me and see if the woman will die from the curse in the end."
“…”
Miles was speechless again.
Having said this, Benjamin also started to become a little impatient. Continuing to talk, apart from choking the other person with words, seemed to have no real benefit to him.
Therefore, he finally spoke: "What is your purpose? If it is really a task, who issued the task and what is the content of the task?"
"I can't tell you, it's against professional ethics." Miles spread his hands and said, "But you can rest assured that I won't do anything to you. In a few days, my mission will be over. I'll make sure you never see me again."
"You won't do anything bad to us?" Benjamin stared at the other party's face after the disguise, trying to find flaws in his expression.
"No. If I really wanted to do something, with so many opportunities, I would have done it long ago. Why would there be any need to wait until now?" Miles replied very naturally.
"What about the other three coachmen?" Benjamin asked again.
"I don't know, he's probably just a coachman." Miles said helplessly, "I'm not a real coachman, I'm not familiar with them."
Benjamin was silent for a moment, shook his head, and finally was too lazy to ask any more questions, turned around, and left without saying a word.
This guy is too troublesome, I can't kill him, and it's impossible to get rid of him, so just let him continue to play his part. At least under his nose, Benjamin could still observe. If Miles makes any small moves, he will also have an early warning, which is better than the situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are clear.
Moreover, along the way, he can continue to look for opportunities to see if he can completely solve this trouble.
"Hey, are you finished asking your questions? Why did you leave so quickly?" Miles shouted from behind him.
Benjamin turned his head, glanced at the other party, and said: "Dinner time is over, let's get on the road, coachman."
Don't you want to be a coachman? Then let him be enough.
"...I haven't had a bite yet," Miles complained.
"You move slowly and take your time, do you blame me?" Benjamin shrugged, making a seemingly helpless expression, and said confidently.
“…”
Just like that, the short dinner time ended. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Benjamin and his party returned to the carriage. The four coachmen in the car, no matter whether they were full or hungry, could only work hard and wave their whips under the command of Benjamin, carrying more than 20 mages, and continued to the southeast.
