"Brother, I want to go back."
This was the first sentence that Benjamin finally heard clearly after gradually approaching these four people.
At first, his idea was to follow them into the dark, then launch a sneak attack, collect their belongings before the gang had the chance to use those weird magic props, and then continue the torture that night.
However, upon hearing this, his mind suddenly changed.
The other party comes from a rather mysterious force. He wanted to know more information. Eavesdropping was indeed more reliable than torture. Maybe he could get some unexpected surprises.
Therefore, he patiently approached carefully and listened carefully.
"How can we just go back like this?" Not far away, the voices of those people still came vaguely, "The props given by the elders have not been used up yet, we can try again."
"But... their exhibition is over, where can we try it?"
"Go find those buyers! Although the people who photographed the robe are kept secret, some people have already shown it off. I have investigated the location of one of them. Tonight, we can go steal the robe. "
"is this okay?"
"What's wrong..."
The conversation between the four continued, and Benjamin also learned the reason why they did not leave.
They haven't given up yet
You are so courageous.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Benjamin also used the water element to conduct a security check-style search on the four people. Then, he immediately discovered that these four people had several strange wooden boards in their pockets.
The wooden board is brown, with some incomprehensible characters and patterns engraved on it. It is not large and looks a bit rough. However, Benjamin could feel an inexplicable fluctuation of magic power from those wooden boards.
It should be the remaining magic items they used.
Benjamin counted that there were six more such boards in total. Although it is not difficult for him, but... to be able to produce such a number of magic props, the power behind them should not be underestimated.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them mentioned Bianmo City several times. Judging from their words, they have lived in seclusion in the eastern desert for a long time, and there seem to be quite a few of them. But except for the "elder", the other people have no sense of existence. They rarely mention it and don't seem to see each other very often.
Such an organization made Benjamin feel confused.
There are people who can make magic props, there are also wizards who are said to be very powerful, and there are third-rate thieves like them... all kinds of characters form a complex collection, hiding in that huge desert, invisible for many years, There aren't even many rumors about them.
From what they said, if Benjamin had not organized this robe exhibition, they would not have shown up, but would have stayed in hiding until the world was destroyed or something.
what is this? The Hermit Alliance
Fredenley really has everyone.
In fact, after listening to it all the way, Benjamin really had no desire to do anything to the four thieves. Only the forces behind them, Benjamin would like to get in touch with them.
If nothing else, just because of his ability to make magic props, he shouldn't be buried in a deserted desert.
In this way, they followed all the way to a hotel in Riley City. These four thieves obviously had no other place to live, so they could only disguise themselves and live carefully in such a remote place.
After the four of them entered the hotel, five minutes later, Benjamin also walked in.
He ignored the shopkeeper at the door and went straight upstairs to the door of the four people's room. He didn't prepare to make a move, but knocked gently on the door.
"Who?" a voice came from inside.
"Cleaner." Benjamin replied naturally.
So, with the sound of footsteps, the people inside walked to the door and opened the door. They didn't even notice anything was wrong until Benjamin walked in with his head lowered and closed the door.
After a few seconds.
"Wait a minute... aren't you a cleaner? Why don't you bring anything?" Finally, someone noticed something was wrong and asked.
Benjamin shook his head, smiled, and said, "You are so blind!"
The four of them were stunned.
Along with Benjamin's words, countless water vapor suddenly appeared, blowing the four unsuspecting people to the ground. As for the wooden boards in their pockets, they were also lifted out by the steam and all delivered to Benjamin's hands.
At that moment, when Benjamin took the wooden board into his hands, he felt a metal-like material. The feel of these things was extremely smooth, not rough at all, as if... what he was holding were several pieces of iron.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
So magical
He wanted to study this thing carefully, but unfortunately, the four people were still in front of him. Therefore, he could only put away the boards and deal with the four panicked thieves first.
He walked over slowly and looked down at the four people.
"Do you recognize it now?"
The four of them got up from the ground and stared at Benjamin with some fear.
"You... you are the vigil mage that night!" They took a few steps back and subconsciously touched their pockets, hoping to use magic items to escape, but their pockets were already empty.
Then, they looked at the window behind them. I saw a thin layer of ice forming on the closed windows. Not only that, the ice continued to spread, and soon, the entire room was sealed, cutting off any possibility of their escape.
"Oops, too bad..."
Then, their expressions became a little bitter.
"We are really destined." Benjamin said with a charming smile, "Do you have any other means to escape from me this time?"
At that moment, the expressions of the four people were a mixture of shock, fear and despair. They were stunned for a moment, but in the end, they could only say angrily: "You...we were all disguised like this, how did you recognize us?"
Benjamin replied: "Yes? I just met you by chance on the street. I saw you passing by me and I recognized you."
“…”
The four of them were silent, with unspeakable expressions on their faces. They seemed to have been so humiliated that they had lost their will to resist, like four wilted bitter gourds.
They lay there paralyzed, not even wanting to move. Probably they also knew that it was impossible for them to escape.
"After you kill me, can you bury me a little bit?" A person was a little desperate and raised his hand and suggested, "It's best not to bury me in Riley City. It's too humid here and I don't like it very much."
Immediately afterwards, another person said: "I'm not as picky as him, so there's no need to bury it. Just burn my body, please."
“…”
What are you thinking about
Benjamin was a little speechless, shook his head and said, "Who said I was going to kill you?"
Suddenly, the four of them were stunned.
"...Aren't you angry that we stole your things?" someone asked cautiously.
"Of course I'm angry." Benjamin nodded and said, "So, you must do one thing for me. Otherwise, I will make your life more uncomfortable than death."
"What's up?"
Benjamin glanced at them and said, "Take me to see your elders."
After hearing this, the expressions of the four people changed again.
"This... let's forget it." One person hesitated for a while, then said with an apologetic smile, "The road is very long and tiring. There is really nothing to see, so it's better to say goodbye."
Hearing this, Benjamin let out a soft hum that could not be heard as joy or anger.
But in the heart.
Sure enough, that elder's actual combat ability is not very good, and the powerful guys in their organization may not be able to contact him for a while. Otherwise, these thieves don't have to be so panicked.
After getting this news out, he felt much more relieved.
