After the summary meeting of the "Serial Assassination Incident" ended, Benjamin dismissed everyone and left from a remote street on his way back to the hotel.
He was thinking about his next plan.
Just looking at the street, there is no trace of a priest, and you know that the church's missionary plan has been forced to suspend. However, the church will definitely not give up. Instead, it may take revenge in even more unexpected ways. They have to be more careful.
These days, through private contacts between mages, several more mages have been added to his team. However, if you want to fight against the church, these people are obviously not enough.
I don’t know how popular the "Declaration of Free Magic" is among mages...
Just as Benjamin was thinking about it, suddenly, the voice of the system came from his heart.
"Hey, there are four acquaintances of yours eighty meters ahead. Do you want to go up and say hello to them?"
Four acquaintances
Benjamin frowned.
He looked over according to the system's guidance and saw that not far from the street ahead, the four thieves who came from the reclusive forces in the desert in the east and had tried to steal Benjamin's things before were walking there, looking around, looking for something unknown. What.
The moment he saw them, Benjamin was speechless.
These people... Why do I encounter these four ghosts every time I walk around Riley City
Besides, shouldn't they hide well? Why did you come to Riley City again
Thinking this, Benjamin walked over and patted the other party on the shoulder.
So, the four of them turned their heads together and looked at him, but because of Benjamin's disguise, they did not recognize him. Therefore, they just stared with an expression of "Brother, who are you?"
"Follow me." Benjamin whispered to the four of them.
There is no way, as a qualified underground party member, he cannot wash off the disguise on his face in the street. That is not the same as loudly telling the church, "Come and arrest me." They'd better find a hidden place to talk.
"Why do I want you to go?" However, the four thieves were not very cooperative and looked at him as if they were crazy.
When Benjamin heard this, he felt sincerely tired.
"Um... do you remember that some time ago, I took you to fly to the eastern desert to find the elder?" After hesitating, he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, it's me."
Immediately, all four people showed some doubtful looks.
"No... He doesn't look like this. You want to lie to us."
"That's because I've disguised myself!" Benjamin was about to go crazy, but he could only lower his voice, "Aren't you thieves? Can't you even see through this? You're just a bunch of thieves!"
“…”
Under the silence of the four of them, Benjamin finally pulled them into a remote and deserted alley. Then he washed the disguise off his face. The four people looked at him, their expressions changing from dementia to dumbfounded.
"It's really, really you." One thief said in disbelief, "It's amazing, we didn't even notice it at all."
Benjamin was speechless.
It's obviously because your skills are too bad!
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts behind him, his expression returned to seriousness, and said: "Shouldn't you be with that wheelchair man? Why are you here?"
The other party replied: "The elder asked us to come to you."
"Looking for me?" Benjamin frowned, "Why is he looking for me?"
Is there a situation
When I was talking to the man in the wheelchair, he immediately revealed that Aldridge was an undercover agent of the church. This time he came to see him again. Could it be that there was another unexpected person who was actually a spy of the church
To be honest, if this kind of plot happens again and again, he will be a little bit too much.
"We don't know either." The thief shook his head and said, "However, he said it is a very important thing, so we must find you."
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded helplessly.
Since there is something important, let’s go for a trip.
Besides, aren't there many reclusive mages on the other side? In these days, the changes in the church should have affected them. Maybe some of them would be dissatisfied with the church and be willing to defect to Benjamin.
There is also the bracelet that is said to be the key to the Valley of God’s Abandonment. At that time, Benjamin was in a critical situation and didn't know what would happen next, so he gave the things to the wheelchair man for safekeeping. But now, the situation is gradually stabilizing, and it's time for him to get his things back.
Hmm... Thinking about it now, there are quite a lot of things that remain unresolved.
In this way, Benjamin returned to the hotel to pack his things, left a code for the other mages, and set off again with the four thieves.
"Where did you move to after I left?"
Flying in the air, Benjamin asked.
"We didn't move." The thief replied, "Originally, the elders were afraid that the church people would chase them into the desert, so they wanted to hide in another place. But it didn't take long for the messy news to come over that the king had died. , the church is allowed to preach... and there are the triangle ghosts these days. After the elders heard about it, they said that someone has sucked all the church’s attention away, and we don’t need to change places.”
Benjamin smiled helplessly when he heard this.
So much has happened in this month. The situation has changed so quickly, and it is really better to stay where you are and be safe if you move in a panic.
It's just... they don't seem to know that Benjamin did all these things
If they knew it, their attitude would change.
"By the way, you also put a curse on us!" Suddenly, the thief spoke again, extremely angry, "You said that our intestines would rot in a month, but the elders told us that the curse has no such effect at all. , you are lying to us!"
Benjamin shrugged incredulously.
"At that time, I just wanted you to lead the way. There is no problem now. I will untie it for you later."
When the four of them heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
In this way, since the other party's address has not changed and Benjamin has been there once, the system will naturally remember it firmly. One day later, they arrived at Frieden's eastern desert again, the small oasis house in the desert.
Coming down from the sky, as usual, Benjamin used healing water balloons to wake up the four thieves from their coma, then ignored them and walked into the house.
Among the neatly arranged shelves, he saw the man in the wheelchair again.
"Long time no see." Benjamin greeted.
The man in the wheelchair looked at him, but sighed and said, "What have you done? If I had known this, I would never have told you the true face behind the Master Freemasonry."
Benjamin was a little confused.
What are you doing? As soon as they met, he started questioning him all over the place, making it look like Benjamin had done something wrong.
He doesn't think he did anything wrong.
"Is this why you traveled thousands of miles to find me?" He shook his head and said, "You don't know what I have done. How do you know whether I am right or wrong?"
"Of course I know what you did." The man in the wheelchair immediately retorted, "You killed the king and spread rumors in Freden, leading the people to think that Aldrich was the murderer. You also killed more than twenty people in the city. The head priest has probably completely angered the church."
As he spoke, he paused, suddenly pulled out a pamphlet from the shelf next to him, and threw it at Benjamin.
"Besides, you created this thing."
Benjamin frowned, took the booklet, and took a look.
It's the "Declaration of Free Magic."
