While it's fun to watch people bicker with each other, Benjamin isn't here for the show.
If you want to completely eradicate that sect, it will definitely have to be officially carried out by Freeden. In this matter, Benjamin could wait patiently and wait for the Masters and Freemasons to contact the authorities, but he could also take action himself and take more initiative in this matter.
He was forced to rely on those soldiers on the street, and finally, after being kicked down, he was caught by the soldiers and taken to the basement as he wished.
To be fair, when he first came here and looked at the requisitioned house, Benjamin was a little suspicious of the knight commander he was about to meet. He doesn't know what Frieden's political situation is. What if the Knight Commander of Lance is a fat-headed guy who just comes here to show off and doesn't care about anything at all? What should he do
Moreover, it is not that easy to win the trust of the other party with just one word.
Just like this, sitting in the basement, patiently waiting for the interrogation to come, but what Benjamin did not expect was that the knight commander in charge of the investigation did not show up, but the official named Mikel came faster than anyone else.
"Let me state in advance that those soldiers are not my subordinates. I am very sorry for their rude behavior." Mikel even brought a bottle of wine over and said with a smile, "Come, tell me, what are you doing with these soldiers?" Whatever injustice you have suffered, I will definitely help you seek justice and hold their incompetent boss accountable."
Benjamin was a little confused, but he still said: "No, these soldiers did not bully me. I came here voluntarily."
“…”
The smile on Mikel's face was a little stiff.
When Benjamin saw this, although he didn't know what was going on, he also realized that the person in front of him had a certain identity.
Since he has an identity, it is possible that he can help him in some ways. Therefore, Benjamin could not let the current good conversation atmosphere freeze.
"Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I am a mage." He stood up and said with a smile.
The fact that Freden's mage can live so proudly shows that the mage has a good status here. The other party is probably a government official or something like that, but when facing a mage, he should show a certain amount of respect.
"It turns out it's a mage, I'm rude." Mikel was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly. After a while, he slapped his knee, filled the wine glass with a smile, and said, "I am the inspector sent by your Majesty. Officer, you can call me Mikel."
Benjamin also took on the aristocratic social attitude and drank a drink with the other party.
"I heard that a very powerful mage Benjamin came out of Wright City recently. Is he your Excellency?" After taking a sip of wine, Mikel put down his glass and asked suddenly.
Benjamin was a little surprised.
News in Riley City spread so fast, and he didn't do much. He won ten consecutive victories at the mages' gathering, and his reputation spread to the ears of government officials? This is already a bit amazing. Or... is this Lord Mikel better informed than others
"There are many powerful mages under the border. I dare not say how powerful I am. I just want to praise you a lot from other mages."
"Your Excellency, Master, is joking..."
Originally, Benjamin planned to get down to business and talk about that sect. But Mikel held up his wine glass and started to have a relationship with him with a smile. Suddenly, Benjamin realized that this was probably the unique social rhetoric of officials. He has shown his identity, and accordingly he has to act like this with them, otherwise he will be considered as ignorant of etiquette.
Therefore, there was no other way, Benjamin could only accompany the other party to drink and play haha.
This social occasion didn't last long, and finally, the Knight Commander Lance who was actually responsible for the investigation appeared. However, before Benjamin could be happy, the other party got into a fight with Mikel after a disagreement, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Benjamin was helpless and had no choice but to stand up and alleviate the embarrassing situation.
"I'm sorry, what is this..." Knight Commander Lance frowned, as if he was a little confused about the situation.
Before Benjamin could answer, Mikel spoke first.
"This is Master Benjamin, a rookie in Riley City. He won ten consecutive victories at a wizard gathering. Recently, he also created a wizard mercenary group." He looked at Lance with a smile on his face. He said, "However, with your slow information network, you probably haven't heard anything yet."
Lance took a deep breath and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Benjamin and said, "Mr. Master, I don't know how my men offended you. I'm very sorry."
Benjamin shook his head and said: "They did not offend me. In fact, I asked them to bring me here, so they took some extraordinary measures. I am also very sorry for this."
Lance was even more confused: "Why are you doing this?"
Benjamin smiled and said: "I heard that the Lord Knight is investigating the attack some time ago. It just so happens that I have some very important clues here. I want to tell you, and I will definitely help you solve this case."
Suddenly, Lance's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Benjamin nodded.
"Then tell me quickly." Lance said eagerly. After speaking, he glanced at Mikel beside him and sneered, "Mr. Mikel, not everyone is as idle as you. I see. Really? I have to complete the work entrusted to me by His Majesty, so please go somewhere else and have nothing to do."
Mikel narrowed his eyes and said: "Master Knight, my job is to supervise your actions on behalf of His Majesty. Now that I finally have a clue, I have to listen carefully. Otherwise, you will miss something and the case will not be solved." , then it will be said that I did nothing."
"You are joking. Your Excellency is busy with business, so you should go back to your home to live happily."
"No, of course I have to be there to share some of the Lord Knight's workload."
“…”
Benjamin held his forehead.
These two people... why are they quarreling like elementary school students
"Mr. Master, you brought the news, so what do you think?" Just when the two were in a stalemate, Mikel suddenly turned his head and asked Benjamin the question.
Benjamin felt a little dizzy for a while.
Should one person listen or two people listen? Why is such a simple question so complicated? It's better now. It's like standing in line. Whichever side you stand on will offend the other side.
After thinking about it, Benjamin had no choice but to speak: "It doesn't matter if Lord Mikel stays. If one more person hears it, there will be more strength. The Lord Knight will probably not mind."
Mikel looks petty at first glance, and it’s not easy to offend such a person. At the same time, Lance must have a good temper because he can lead such a group of soldiers, and he should not be angry about this kind of thing.
What's more, he also hopes to have more power to deal with that sect.
"Sure enough, the mage understands the truth. Unlike some knights, who practice sword practice and make their brains go crazy, and their words can't make sense. Lord Knight, don't you think so?" Mikel got a satisfactory answer and immediately felt proud. Said proudly.
"There is an advantage in practicing swordsmanship, so as not to be like some officials, whose swords become soft after entering the brothel and cannot be pulled out of the sheath." Lance replied coldly.
“…”
Benjamin felt so tired.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, he was so frightened that he spoke quickly, interrupted their heated conversation, and said loudly: "Listen to me, that sect that was attacked by gangsters. As far as I know, they probably want to rebel! "
