Lance looked at Benjamin, was silent for a while, and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely seek justice for you in this matter of assassination."
Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
He doesn't need to seek justice, and it's not like he can't get it back. What he needed was evidence—evidence that would lead those men to the gallows.
However, judging from Lance's tone, he probably won't gain anything in this regard.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Therefore, he forced a smile and said, "You'd better just tell me, that guy... refuses to speak?"
After hearing this, Lance sighed and said, "Yeah, I don't know what happened to him. After he woke up, he kept yelling in his own language, as if he was crazy. No matter what I did Ask him, but he won’t answer.”
really…
Benjamin nodded heavily.
It's normal. He relied on clichés to get those things out of the man in black's mouth. But now, the man in black is probably a bit mentally broken, and it is definitely impossible to think of any more clichés.
Therefore, that guy cannot exist as conclusive evidence.
"Don't worry, we will definitely send him to the gallows." Lance saw this and continued, "But unfortunately, he can't provide us with any clues. We can't punish the entire sect for this."
Benjamin snorted coldly and said, "Because you have no evidence."
Lance and Mikel, for the rare occasion, did not quarrel, but nodded together.
So seeing this scene, Benjamin suddenly took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said: "What if... I can provide you with conclusive evidence?"
At that moment, he felt that his voice was so calm that it felt a little hot.
Lance replied: "If you can really prove the alienation of that sect, I will personally send them to the gallows."
Suddenly, Benjamin stood up from the chair.
"Okay, since you want evidence, I'll show it to you." He walked to the door, turned his head, his eyes as sharp as an owl at night, "Come with me, I will take you to see something different."
After saying that, he didn't care about other people's reactions, opened the door, turned around and left.
"you… "
Lance and Mikel both stood up but did not move. Benjamin's action was so sudden that they didn't react at all and could only look at each other in confusion with the few soldiers present.
However, perhaps because of Benjamin's sudden firm tone, after hesitating for a while, Lance gritted his teeth, commanded his soldiers, followed Benjamin, and walked out.
"This... Mr. Benjamin, wait for me!" Mikel frowned. Seeing that everyone else was starting to move, he had no choice but to hurriedly take steps and follow.
In this way, a total of more than twenty people sparsely poured out of the house one after another, making the soldiers guarding the door a little confused.
"Why are you going?"
The soldier walking at the end turned back and shrugged helplessly: "I don't know either."
The guard guard's expression became even more confused.
He wanted to ask something else, but unfortunately, the group of people walked very fast, and they were already far away before he raised his hand. Therefore, he could only stand there, tilting his head, showing a confused expression.
And in the streets of Riley City at night.
Benjamin walked at the front, walking very fast, without any sign of looking back to explain. This group of people followed behind, but they could only become more and more confused as they followed, looking at each other in confusion.
"Where is this mage going?" a soldier whispered.
"Forget it, let's take a look." Lance shook his head and said.
They didn't have any clues, so besides patrolling the streets, what else could they do
To be honest, after a case dragged on for so long, he was already a little tired of working on it. The appearance of this mage named Benjamin gave him a glimmer of hope of success.
Although in his opinion, this hope is so slim that it is really pitiful.
When he first received Benjamin's testimony, Lance was quite happy, thinking that the situation could finally be solved. But soon, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, the ambiguous words of the Master Freemason came out.
"Well... there is indeed some such news. But our purpose has always been this. We don't want to interfere with too many things outside, so we can't testify for you. Mr. Knight Commander, I'm sorry. I hope your investigation goes well and everything can be released as soon as possible. The truth comes out.”
When he first heard this reply, Lance wanted to curse.
He felt that the reason he didn't stand up on the spot and turn the table over to the other side's face was because he had been tortured too much by Mikel and had developed his mentality.
He doesn't have much contact with the Masters and Freemasons, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. The influence of the Master Freemasonry is far greater than most people imagine. How can they not interfere with outside affairs? In the past few years, many of Frieden's political affairs have been traced back to the Masters and Freemasons. His Majesty the King has even been in contact with them, yet he is still asking not to interfere in outside affairs
Because of this, Lance was furious. But what can he do? It's not like I can only say thank you with a smile and leave obediently, but there is nothing I can do.
He felt very unwilling.
Obviously everyone already knew the truth, but because there was no important evidence, everything fell short.
Probably because of this, when Benjamin spoke for no reason just now, he gritted his teeth, bit the bullet, and led others to follow him.
Even if it's just a momentary mood...
Then feel good about it!
Anyway, he didn't want to stay in that hellish place anymore.
In this way, they followed Benjamin and walked for more than ten minutes, gradually deviating from the center of Riley City. However, Benjamin still walked in front without saying a word and had no intention of going there, which made them feel a little strange.
If we continue walking, we will have to leave the city, right
"Mr. Master, where are we going?" Lance couldn't help but asked.
As Benjamin walked, he turned back and smiled: "Don't worry, the place you are going to may be a bit remote, but as long as you hide well, the evidence will come naturally."
Lance was confused.
However, the other party looked quite normal and didn't seem crazy. Therefore, he decided to be patient and follow them to the end to see where the other party wanted to take them.
Half an hour later.
The outskirts of Riley City are an extremely remote place, surrounded by abandoned houses. It seems that because of the rumors of being haunted, no one even likes to pass by here. It is extremely deserted.
The cool evening wind blew by, making a whistling sound.
"Ben, Mr. Benjamin, there are some bad rumors about this place. I wonder if you have heard of it? Do we really want to stop here?" Mikel looked around, with a little uneasiness in his eyes.
Benjamin nodded.
"You find a place to hide here. In half an hour, I will bring you the evidence you want."
Mikel was even more puzzled: "Why are you here? Mr. Benjamin, if you really want to have some special plan, you can just change the place. You said... you said here... "
However, Lance suddenly interrupted him and said: "Mr. Mikel is timid. He has to go to the brothel at noon on a sunny day. Mr. Master, you'd better understand a little bit."
"You... who is cowardly?" Mickel suddenly became angry, "I didn't know who he was at the beginning, but he didn't even dare to clear the valley of the abyss. How can he say that others are cowardly?"
"Really? I don't know who that person is? No one should know, right?" Lance raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Anyway, everyone has seen with their own eyes that it is Mr. Mikel who even some folk rumors I’m afraid, I’m really a bit timid.”
After hearing this, Mikel was silent for a long time, seeming to accept his fate. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will wait here for half an hour. Mr. Benjamin, I hope you will not disappoint us."
Benjamin smiled: "Of course not."
After saying that, Benjamin turned his head and left in a hurry.
Upon seeing this, Mikel hid in the group of soldiers, called a few soldiers, and asked them to gather around him. This probably made him feel safer.
Lance snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.
He was curious about what kind of evidence Benjamin would present to them.
Although they didn't know why they were hiding, they followed Benjamin's instructions and hid in a nearby abandoned house, waiting patiently for half an hour to pass.
"Tell me, isn't this a trap? That boy wants to harm us?" Suddenly, Mikel spoke with some worry.
Lance shook his head helplessly and said, "Didn't you trust him before? Every time we meet, your face almost bursts from laughter. Why are you worried now?"
Mikel snorted coldly and said: "What do you know? This is a normal social gesture. Who is like you? You are as stupid as a fool every day. No wonder you can't get ahead in your life."
When Lance heard this, he said "cut" impatiently and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. Seeing this, Mikel did not continue to speak. Instead, he huddled under the protection of the soldiers and looked quietly at the dark sky outside through the window.
Half an hour is still a bit difficult for those of them hiding here.
Fortunately, Benjamin came faster than half an hour.
"He's here..." Mikel looked out the window, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost shouted.
"Shh, don't make a sound!" Lance quickly grabbed him and signaled in a low voice.
With curiosity in mind, the two of them looked outside together. I saw Benjamin flying all the way in the dark night sky in the distance, very fast, and flew over in a swish, as if he was fleeing.
…escape
Suddenly, Lance felt something was wrong.
After Benjamin flew to this area, he stopped flying forward and turned around. At this time, Lance looked through the window and saw another familiar figure flying over in the distance.
That is…
Lance had some uncertain thoughts in his mind.
However, as he watched the figure flying closer and closer, he couldn't recall it for a while.
Who is that
"It's... that old Asi from the monastery." Mikel suddenly spoke as if he heard his voice, his eyes were stunned, and his usually sinister voice sounded unexpectedly weak.
