When Benjamin first heard this sentence, his brain did not react immediately.
… What did you say
You can say such outrageous things. Are you confused or confused? Thinking that just saying some scary things will make Benjamin shrink back in fear and give him the bracelet
"Interesting." Therefore, Benjamin showed a sneer and looked at the other party, with a hint of murderous intent exuding, "Tell me, I am alive and well, how can I be a dead person?"
The man in the wheelchair also stared at him quietly.
"...Forget it, maybe it's fate that makes you come here." Suddenly, he took a deep breath and his expression became more tired, "I don't know where you learned how to make magic props. Maybe, this Your ability has brought you a lot of gains. But soon, you will get into trouble that you can't even imagine, and in the end, even your own life will be involved."
"What do you mean?"
The man in the wheelchair shook his head and said: "For hundreds of years, the magic props industry has been declining and weakening... Do you think this is really just a situation that slowly evolved in nature, without any inside story?"
Benjamin frowned: "You mean..."
He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"It's all done by the Masters and Freemasons." The man in the wheelchair touched his abandoned legs and said slowly, "No... It should be said that the church instigated them to do this. From a long time ago, the empire was not divided, and the Masters and Freemasons They were doing this when the society didn’t even exist.”
Hearing this, Benjamin was stunned.
"...Are you serious?"
"I won't use such words to deceive people, at least to deceive a mage." The man in the wheelchair let out a few mocking and bitter smiles and said, "How do you think my legs were broken? I Why should you hide in this barren place all your life and not dare to take a step outside?"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Benjamin, his hands trembling slightly. His tired and nonchalant eyes revealed a deep despair at this moment.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If what this guy says is true...
At that moment, Benjamin didn’t even dare to think about it anymore.
"How do you know?" He calmed down a little and then asked, "If you were hunted down by the Masters and Freemasons because of magic props, it only proves that those magicians had a conspiracy. Why are you so sure? , is the church instigating this matter?"
"Don't you find it strange? Magical props suddenly declined, but in the church, so-called magical props suddenly emerged and developed at an unimaginable speed." The man in the wheelchair narrowed his eyes and replied, "You ask me Why do you know? Because I was once one of those people."
Taking a deep breath, he continued: "The church has trained me since I was a child, allowing me to lurk among mages, collect books and drawings about magic props, and imprison mages who know this technology. I have done countless such things with my own hands. , of course knows how it all happened.”
Damn...
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
Even if he didn't believe it after all the words were said, he had to start seriously considering the possibility of this matter.
In fact, he knew before that the church had spies in various countries, and he also knew that the Master Freemasonry had its own little conspiracy. But from beginning to end, he never connected the two things. He always felt that if the Masters and Freemasons wanted to cause trouble, they would not get together with the church and betray their overall position.
But now it seems that he is still not pessimistic enough.
Not only that, he was simply too optimistic.
Away from the Kingdom of Hori, Benjamin thought he was far away from the church. Even if there were more problems to face, at least they had nothing to do with the church—he didn't have to worry about the giant monster far to the west completely destroying everything he owned with a wave of his hand.
That’s right, no matter how powerful the church is, it’s still a country away, so how can it still reach out? How could a well-established Freemason and Masters Order be controlled by the church
However, now, everything seems to be moving in that impossible direction.
The Mages and Freemasons... it's really possible that they are controlled by the church.
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself first." Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
"What are you so anxious about? They won't do it so quickly." The man in the wheelchair stopped him and said, "You are very famous now. With such a ostentatious goal, they will wait for the limelight to pass, and then use some local forces. , turn you into a lost dog, and then take your life, leaving you to rot alone in a corner where no one is paying attention."
Hearing this, Benjamin stopped and turned his head.
"Has no one ever managed to survive?"
The man in the wheelchair shook his head and said: "Except for me, all the mages they targeted are dead. You can also see what I look like now. Is there any difference between me and death?"
Benjamin took a deep breath.
The other party was right, he couldn't be anxious, it would be over if he was anxious. After the initial shock, he should calm down and think about his current countermeasures.
Behind the Freemasonry is the Church, and it won't be long before they start targeting Benjamin. The current situation, although the situation in Riley City is calm and his development momentum is good, all this seems to be just an illusion.
"When might they attack me?" he asked again.
"In half a month." The wheelchair man's tone sounded very sad. "You may be able to hide in advance, but you should still have many friends. Those people will not let anything slip through the net, and you can't bring them with you." Hiding with a large group of people."
When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a mountain of pressure, which suddenly pressed on his chest, making him unable to breathe.
"So, give me the bracelet." The wheelchair man continued, "After you leave, I will also leave the Eastern Desert immediately and find another hiding place. You can hide by yourself, or you can save yourself He died at his hands, but things like bracelets can no longer fall into the hands of the church.”
Benjamin immediately rejected it: "You think too much, I will not die at the hands of the church."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I've already done it once." Benjamin replied coldly, "Do you think I don't understand the church? I can use a big water balloon to smash Havenright into a muddy pond, and I occupy it with a mere twenty people The Crusader Gate. If no one has survived unscathed before, then... keep your eyes peeled, I'll be the first."
At this moment, the wheelchair man couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"You...you are actually..."
He looked at Benjamin with astonishment on his face, as if he had seen some incredible monster.
