Although it is not impossible to break through forcefully, it is indeed a bit too arrogant to do so. Therefore, Benjamin finally decided to hide in the woods on one side, meditate slowly by himself, and then let the system observe the movements near Glory.
- He didn't believe that there wasn't even a single person coming in or out of such a big city.
"Why do you need me to keep an eye on it again?" The system was a little dissatisfied.
"Because you're awesome, come on."
“…”
After waiting for more than two hours, finally, when the system suddenly reminded him, Benjamin opened his eyes and found a group of people about to leave Glory.
Under the darkness, soldiers on the top of the city lowered a row of ladders. The group of people who were leaving the city climbed on the ladder one by one and carefully climbed down from the top of the city.
Benjamin looked like "what the hell".
… It’s just a trip out of town, is it necessary
He didn't know what happened inside Glory, which made it seem like the city gate couldn't be opened. The people inside had to use this method if they wanted to.
So as the group moved off down the road, Benjamin followed quietly.
He scanned it with the water element induction method.
After scanning, he found that at least half of the team were priests, and the other half were probably paladins. They carried the certificates of the royal envoys with them. After leaving the city, they separated and rushed in different directions. They probably wanted to serve as envoys to deliver news to various places in Carites.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin followed a short and thin young man who did not know magic.
After following him for a while, he walked to a deserted place and used magic to trap the opponent in a bubble. Suddenly, in the remote path at night, the other party was frightened and struggled desperately, but could not get out at all.
"You... who are you? Do you dare to attack me? I represent His Majesty... "
Benjamin interrupted him impatiently: "That's enough. I just led the real king to occupy Changhe Town, so don't bring up the fake king in the palace to make excuses."
The other party was stunned at that time.
"You...are you that Master Benjamin?"
Benjamin smiled slightly evilly when he heard this.
At this time, the young man seemed to be frightened, struggling in the water in panic: "God... no, don't kill me, I really don't know anything... I am not a member of the church, and I have a cross planted on my body. Everything you hear will be known to Bishop Cameron, don’t kill me..."
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned slightly.
… Listening cross
He also didn't expect that after being away from the Kingdom of Hori for so long, he would encounter again this thing that was used by the church to control the nobles.
In other words, the church already knows what he is doing at this moment
A little troublesome…
However, despite this, Benjamin was still in no hurry to leave here.
"Since you are not a member of the church, then tell me what happened in Glory? Why is the city closed? And what exactly is this messenger you people want to do?"
"I...I can't say, they will know..."
Benjamin tilted his head and said innocently: "Then I have to kill you first."
As he spoke, he condensed an exaggerated ice sword and pointed it at the young man in the blisters.
The young man seems to be timid, has no loyalty to the church, and has not received various anti-interrogation training. Being so frightened, he immediately started shouting in confusion.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I... I said... The gate of Glory will be sealed because there is a rebellion in the city. The people inside are making trouble everywhere, and Bishop Cameron can only use force to suppress it. Let the army of Paladins take over Glory, seal the city gates, arrest many people, and hang many of them."
"Rebellion?" Benjamin was a little surprised, "Why did the rebellion happen?"
"Because... because many people are dissatisfied with His Majesty's lack of response to Icol's invasion, and the rumors of the fake king. And the most important thing is... His Majesty has not shown up for several days."
"Not showing up? Why?"
"This... I don't know either! I am just a messenger. After the rebellion, I was arrested by Bishop Cameron and forced to go to dangerous places to deliver messages. I... I can't help it..."
Hearing this, Benjamin took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
Rebellion... I didn't expect that the situation within Glory would evolve to this point. It seemed that the situation in the church was far from being as good as he imagined.
But the substitute king never appears, which is indeed a doubtful point.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin spoke again: "What dangerous place are you going to deliver a message?"
The other party hesitated for a while and then said: "Go... to the garrison camp in Ikol in the west, and send a message... to Her Majesty the Queen in Ikol."
Benjamin was shocked when he heard this.
"Whether it's with Carites or the church, isn't the Queen's attitude always hostile? Why did you go over to bring her a message? What do you mean?"
"I...I don't know." The young man's expression became more and more desperate as he spoke. "A few days ago, the queen's messenger came and sent a message to Bishop Cameron. The bishop said that he would think about it. This afternoon, they will I caught them and asked me to give a message to Her Majesty the Queen, saying that they agreed to the Queen's conditions and that within two months, the Terra River would be the boundary."
"What are the Queen's terms?"
"Well... I really don't know. I'm only responsible for spreading this sentence to them... Please, just spare me!"
Benjamin shook his head irritably.
Two months... bounded by the Terra River...
He didn't understand what it meant, but... the queen and the church were sending messages, and the church agreed to the queen's conditions. Regardless of the content of the exchange between the two parties, the news was explosive enough for Benjamin's side.
It was obviously a three-party melee, but suddenly it was discovered that the other two parties were secretly connected.
What do they want
Just when Benjamin was frowning and thinking hard, suddenly, the system appeared and reminded him.
"Hey, be careful, there may be a priest coming from a distance."
When Benjamin heard this, he came back to his senses, glanced at the young man in the blisters, and understood. The church's actions were really fast. It took only ten minutes after he caught this man before the pursuers followed the guidance of the listening cross.
There is no other way, let’s withdraw first.
But fortunately, he asked enough breaking news from this person. And given the other party's identity, he couldn't find out more secret things.
So Benjamin looked up and shrugged.
When the other party saw this, he suddenly became uneasy again.
"You...what do you want..."
There was a snap.
The blisters burst, and the confused young man fell back to the ground before he could finish speaking.
"The people from the church are here to pick you up. Just wish yourself well."
Hearing such words, the young man raised his head in shock, only to find that Benjamin had risen into the sky and quickly disappeared into the cloudy night sky.
