The next day, Benjamin and his party left the town under the welcome of the rebels.
From hostility to courtesy, it only took Benjamin fifteen minutes to turn the rebels' attitude upside down. After that, the group of people also followed his suggestion, imprisoned the prisoners, temporarily blocked the town, forced the mayor to deliver false news to them, and prepared for an ambush... The leader of the rebel army even begged Benjamin and told him a story hours on "How to overthrow a regime."
To be honest, Benjamin was also helpless.
He is not a revolutionary mentor, and this kind of thing cannot be learned by just studying. Therefore, he could only rely on the contents of some historical and political books to get rid of the opponent.
However, the whole process was quite smooth. The rebels were as excited as they had discovered the New World, and even the imprisoned mayor was grateful to Benjamin. After all, if Benjamin didn't show up, he would be hacked to death.
As for the general population of the town, they had no idea what was going on. The only thing they saw was that just before the mayor was about to be killed, a mage took action like a god, controlled all the rebels, and spoke to them for more than ten minutes. Then, the mayor was saved, and the rebels only temporarily sealed off the town, not even asking for food.
Because of this, they thought Benjamin was a good guy!
It’s just that whether they are good people or bad people, these things have little to do with Benjamin and the others. Early the next morning, they quickly left the town and continued towards Carrites.
- This place is very close to the border. They took off their disguises and flew directly. In half a day, they crossed directly from the border.
Probably because the current situation in Frieden is relatively chaotic, some of the border defenders have been mobilized. Hundreds of mages flew over so brazenly that the soldiers below were so frightened that they didn't even dare to shout, let alone stop them.
In this way, they entered Carites, and the process was smoother than they imagined.
After that, they flew for a long time, until the sky became dusk, and Benjamin and his group entered a grassland. Here they landed, set up camp, and prepared to spend the night.
"Where is the closest city to here?"
As soon as the tent was set up, Benjamin asked the system.
"If we want to talk about cities, it seems that they can only exist after flying for another day and leaving this grassland." The system replied, "However, there seem to be many people living in this grassland, but they all live in a nomadic way. , so you may not encounter it.”
When Benjamin heard this, he shrugged helplessly.
Before entering Carites, he naturally also purchased local maps and some introductory books. However, the amount of information these things can bring him is still not much. Carites is still a completely unfamiliar country.
They need to get familiar with it quickly.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin ran out of the tent and found Tony.
"Don't the Mages and Freemasons also have a branch here? Do you know what happened to the branch here after Aldrich died?"
Tony shook his head and said: "I left the Freemasonry a long time ago, and I don't know what happened next. But... I heard before that the influence of the Freemasonry here is very weak, whether it is the royal family or the Mages, almost all of them, ignore the existence of Mages and Freemasons.”
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
This is quite normal. Regardless of the ecclesiastical background of the Freemasonry, on the surface, the entire Mage Freemasonry is an organization that is more Friedan-oriented. Carrites can be considered generous if he allows it to exist.
He believed that after Aldrich was exposed, the Carrites branch should have also caused quite a shock. However, Benjamin is still not sure whether the Freemasonry here is completely controlled by the church, or is something else going on
Also, to what extent has the church developed here? Is it in the diffusion stage, or can it already start killing mages secretly
Benjamin still knew nothing about these things.
He had to figure it out quickly.
"Do you have any familiar mage friends here? It's best to be well-informed." So Benjamin asked again.
However, Tony still shook his head.
"After the empire split, the mages of Carites rarely had contact with us. There is no special Warcraft material here, so we generally don't go here."
Benjamin sighed after hearing this.
Although he was a little reluctant, in this case, he could only find a way to contact the legendary mercenary Miles.
He and the mercenary were not friends, but at least he suggested that he come to Carites. At that time, Benjamin refused due to various reasons, but now that he has really come to Carrites, it is appropriate for Miles to fulfill his duty as a landlord.
Although... he is still not sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.
But other than that, Benjamin had no other options.
In this way, he returned to his tent, prepared to meditate for a while and then went to sleep. He would continue on his way tomorrow morning.
"Teacher Benjamin, there seems to be something going on outside..."
However, he had just meditated for a while when Frank suddenly opened the tent door and said this suddenly.
Benjamin opened his eyes helplessly.
… What are you doing
Something else
He had nothing to say.
How come there are so many situations, going here and there, here and there, it's really hard to stop. Can't they be allowed to enter the town safely and integrate into the local mage circle
"...Tell me, what happened again?" He put his hand on his forehead and said weakly.
"A group of people suddenly appeared outside. They seemed to have something to say to us." Frank seemed a little confused and said, "I don't know what the situation is, but they all seem to be locals."
native
Benjamin frowned.
A herdsman on the prairie? But... if we meet by chance, just pass by, why would we still have something to say
"Let me go and take a look." Benjamin nodded and said with doubts.
He followed Frank out of the tent.
I saw a small group of strangers on horses appearing not far to the south. There were not many of them, maybe twenty or thirty people, some old and some young. They were carrying broken luggage, and everyone looked very embarrassed. They didn't look like they were herding cattle, but they looked like they were fleeing.
The group of people stopped there, looking over here with expectant eyes, as if they wanted to get closer, but had to keep a distance.
Benjamin saw this and walked over.
"Who are you?"
The other person looked a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, they all dismounted, and the tall man at the head said: "Who... We are not people. We have always lived in this area. We are not bad people."
… That’s the local indigenous people.
"Do you have something to tell us?" Benjamin didn't pay attention, but continued to ask.
The other party nodded, glanced at Benjamin's tent again, looked a little panicked, and said, "Oh... didn't you bring a bodyguard? Now... there's going to be trouble now."
"What's the trouble?" Benjamin became even more confused.
How does it feel... Is there anything they should know
The man's expression looked a bit exaggerated and he said, "Aren't you from here? The beast tide is coming, and anyone who can't stop it will be eaten by the beasts!"
