When Aldrich heard this, he showed a somewhat playful look, and the elements around him fluctuated, as if he was about to take action.
However, Benjamin shot faster than him.
With a gentle spell, the overwhelming ice blades emerged. Benjamin waved his hand, and the ice blades began to spin around the room, like a sudden ice storm, heading straight towards the enemy.
- He didn't know how strong Aldrich was, so he didn't dare to hold back when he took action, even the king on one side was covered.
Unfortunately, Aldrich just shook his head calmly.
His lips moved, and without even hearing a sound, a wave of magic power came out. Then, two magic shields appeared in front of him and the king respectively, protecting them.
The ice blade hit the shield, causing ice chips to fly and roar continuously. However, the shield remained intact, showing no signs of wavering.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
Needless to say, when the assassins attacked the king on the day of the dinner, this guy was definitely paddling and pretending. Looking at the current level, how could the assassin at that time escape
It's a bit tricky...
"Grant, is it worth it for you to give up your belief in God for such a mediocre magic talent?" Aldrich said with a calm posture. While resisting the attack, he did not forget to taunt him.
When Benjamin heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Really? Try this again!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around, opened his legs, and the water vapor surrounded him and accelerated. Covered by the newly lifted ice chips, he headed straight for the window behind the other party!
The change was so fast that even Aldrich was stunned.
"Want to run?" However, he quickly reacted. A rapid spell was heard, and then countless earth elements condensed and sealed the window directly, making it impossible for Benjamin to escape through the window.
"Hmph, do you really think I can let you escape?" He said with a sneer after sealing the only exit.
At this moment, Benjamin and Aldrich were extremely close because they wanted to escape. If Benjamin spits, he can probably spit in the other person's face.
Of course, Benjamin didn't do that.
He seemed to have failed in escaping, but suddenly turned his head and smiled at Aldrich, who was close at hand.
"Idiot, you've been fooled."
In a short moment, and with the push of water vapor, he turned sideways and leaned towards the king standing beside him.
The king has not yet recovered from the initial ice blade storm. At this moment, he was protected by a shield, but his face was full of astonishment, and he could only watch helplessly as Benjamin approached.
"You, what are you going to do..."
He was just halfway through saying this when he saw Benjamin clenching his left hand into a fist and smiling at him, with five glistening ice needles sandwiched between his fingers.
As soon as he finished saying these subconscious words, the fist with the ice needle flew over.
Ding!
Unexpectedly, the sound of the fist colliding with the shield was so clear and crisp, like a gentle tap on a porcelain cup. However, the magic shield that had been intact just now was directly penetrated by this punch, and a big hole was made very suddenly. Subsequently, the entire shield was shattered into pieces and dissipated without a trace.
At the same time, Benjamin's punching hand suddenly opened up, scattered the ice needles, and suddenly grabbed the king's shoulder.
The king was shocked.
"No one is allowed to move, otherwise, I will kill him!" The moment he came into contact with the king, Benjamin spoke without hesitation and threatened.
Suddenly, behind Benjamin, Aldrich, who was chanting a spell, stopped.
"Stop! Do you know what you are doing?" He looked a little embarrassed and warned seriously.
Benjamin laughed and said, "Of course I know."
Along with his words, a sharp ice dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He held the dagger, and without anyone else reacting, he stabbed the king's thigh hard!
The king screamed, blood splattered everywhere, and he almost fell to the ground.
However, Benjamin had already retreated and came behind the king. He supported the king with one hand, and held the ice dagger in the other hand, placed it on the king's neck, and used the king to block him in front of him, facing Aldrich, who was still confused at this moment.
—In just a few seconds, Benjamin completed this series of actions. Aldrich didn't even have time to complete a spell.
"you… "
"There is nothing I dare not do, so you'd better not act rashly." Benjamin interrupted the other party and said in a cold tone.
In fact, as soon as the confrontation happened, he gave up the idea of fighting Aldrich.
After all, he is the president of the Master Freemasonry, and after years of accumulation, he has considerable strength. It is a very unwise choice for Benjamin to fight with him.
Not to mention, they are still in the palace at the moment, and someone will definitely come over if they fight for a long time.
Just like this moment, the servant guarding the door had knocked on the door and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty... did something happen inside? Do you want me to call someone?"
Suddenly, several people in the room looked towards the door.
"Tell him it's okay or I'll kill you," Benjamin whispered into the king's ear.
When the king heard this, he could only take a deep breath, force himself to calm down, and shouted to the door: "It's okay, you can just stay outside."
After receiving such an answer, even if the servant had doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to shut up, obediently stay outside the door, and stop talking.
Sensing this scene, Benjamin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at Aldrich again.
"Mage Aldrich, this is your best puppet to control Freden. I believe you don't want the noble king to die here and be buried with me, a lowly mage, right?"
Although the king was already controlled by the church, it was precisely because of this that he became extremely important to the church. Promulgating decrees, lifting bans on churches, restricting mages... various steps require the help of royal power to complete. Even if the church could find a substitute, it would be difficult to convince outside ministers and people.
The king of Frieden is their most important means of occupying Frieden!
Therefore, holding the king hostage became Benjamin's best choice at the moment.
—If he kills the king, the conspiracy that the church has planned in Freden for so many years will naturally be in vain. How could Aldrich allow this to happen if he was so loyal to the church
Therefore, Aldrich could only issue some weak accusations, but could do nothing.
"Are you crazy? The Holy Light has bathed you since childhood, but you behave like this. What is the difference between you and the rough bandits in the mountains?"
Benjamin smiled and said, "Everyone is not a good person, so stop scolding us here."
As he spoke, he held the king hostage and moved to the window in small steps.
"Open the window, otherwise, I don't know what will happen." Then he put away his smile and stared at the other party warily.
