Facing the queen's increasingly gloomy tone, the messenger's expression did not change at all.
"Of course I know that I am in danger." He said sternly, "But if I can use my life to make Her Majesty the Queen bear the reputation of cruelty and make people think that the mage is a criminal who wants to kill even the messenger, Then my life is worth it."
Hearing this, the Queen raised her chin: "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not threaten Her Majesty the Queen, but please pay attention, Your Majesty, God is watching your every move."
The queen fell silent.
The whole hall fell into dead silence. She stared at the messenger with a gloomy expression, as if the mages around her thought the queen was going to let them take action. However, after more than ten seconds of silence, the queen suddenly let out a chuckle.
"Interesting..." She showed a sly smile, then suddenly turned her head and spoke to the servant next to her, "Prepare a room for this envoy. He is a guest after all. I get along well with him, so of course I have to stay longer." A few days.”
The servant was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he nodded as usual, turned around and left in a hurry.
The messenger frowned.
"Your Majesty...are you planning to put me under house arrest?"
The Queen snorted coldly and said, "As long as you understand. It is indeed difficult for me to kill you, but it is still a very simple matter to make your life worse than death."
The messenger shook his head: "Why bother? It is Bishop Cameron's decision to reject your request. I am just a messenger. Even if you lock me here for the rest of my life, the bishop will not change his mind."
"Yes, cooperation is no longer possible." The Queen also nodded and said, "But at least, I can make you suffer some pain, and my mages and I will live a happier life."
“…”
The messenger was speechless.
Under the queen's eyes, several guards came up and surrounded the envoy. The envoy's expression seemed a little resistant, but with such a large group of people surrounding him, he had no choice but to resist and could only be led out obediently by the guards.
However, the Queen did not prepare a "room" as she said.
"You brat, go in and stay well!"
In the prison in the hill city, the messenger was pushed into the deepest cell. The dark and humid environment coupled with the straw that smelled like urine all over the floor made the pig house feel much better than here.
As soon as the guards pushed the messenger in, they locked the door and glanced at him with the utmost indifference.
That look seemed to say: "Just wait, this is just the beginning."
The messenger also showed a look of fear at the right time.
The guards shook their heads, turned and left.
The messenger watched the other person's leaving figure until he confirmed that no one around was looking at him. Finally, he put away the fear on his face and showed a look of helplessness.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I'm actually locked up. Aren't you excited about the legendary imprisonment of PLAY?"
At this time, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"You're so excited." The messenger, Benjamin in disguise, shook his head, glanced at the cell he was in, and said with a disgusted expression.
"You deserve it. Who told you to provoke others?" the system said with gloating.
Benjamin couldn't be bothered with it.
Nonsense, of course he is going to provoke! Without provoking the Queen, how could he create ill feelings and further reduce the possibility of a union between the Queen and the Church
Overall, this plan of pretending to be a messenger went smoothly. After showing the documents, the people here immediately believed his identity without even doubting his identity. After a slight disguise, the Queen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, seemed not to recognize Benjamin, the mage whom she had met once at the Crusad Gate.
More importantly, the Queen was still sane and had no intention of killing him. If Benjamin goes too far and the queen really wants to kill him, he will have no choice but to use magic and escape.
And now, he's locked up. Although I don’t quite understand why the Queen cheered up, this is simply the way things go the smoothest!
Thinking this, Benjamin immediately started his work.
- He cast a spell in his mind to summon an ice blade, and began to carve words on the wall.
It took him a few minutes to write down the words he wanted to leave, then he activated his void state and walked directly out of the prison. Outside the prison were the deserted streets of the hill city. Benjamin disguised himself while observing the guards around him, and slowly moved away from the prison area.
After a while, he turned into a young man with black hair. Like the residents of the hill city, he walked on the street as if nothing had happened, and no one recognized him.
However, the situation in the city surprised him a little.
It was obviously a city that had just been conquered, but the residents looked surprisingly calm. Although the streets are not very lively, they definitely don't feel deserted or chilly. People are a little cautious and come and go in an orderly manner.
Benjamin knew that there was basically no resistance in these cities and they all surrendered directly. But just after it was occupied, the security in the city was able to be maintained to this point. There was no looting or chaos. I'm afraid Iker's side put a lot of effort into it.
—The Queen sincerely wants to occupy Carites and govern it as her territory.
Benjamin couldn't help but worry about getting these territories back.
With the king's ability, can he really do this
In the end, he shook his head and put the problem behind him. The church is a big mountain in front of them. They should deal with the church first, and then think about how to take back the territory...
In this way, the plan was successfully completed. Benjamin found an opportunity to sneak out of the hill city and quickly flew away from Ikol's sphere of influence.
at the same time.
In the town hall of the hill city, the queen frowned and looked at a mage guard beside her.
"Why did you keep winking at me just now, not letting me take action against him?" Her voice sounded a little dissatisfied, "If you kill a messenger, just kill him, so what if the church uses him to make an issue? It's not worth mentioning. It’s just a little trick.”
The mage shook his head and said: "No... I can vaguely feel that this person has a very strong spiritual power. He is at least a bishop-level figure. Keeping him here is definitely more valuable than killing him."
The Queen's face changed slightly when she heard this.
"How is it possible at the bishop level? What is the purpose of the church in sending such a person here?"
"I don't know, but Your Majesty is better to be careful. If Your Majesty just insisted on killing him, I'm afraid he will resist and may even hurt Your Majesty!"
The Queen took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"… I see."
She just still couldn't figure it out. If the church really wanted to reject her conditions, it could just send a random envoy. Why would it send a bishop-level figure
And... that person seems a bit too young for the mental power of a bishop, right
After a moment of silence, she suddenly froze and realized something very serious - a bishop-level figure, and the "room" she prepared might not be able to contain him. Suddenly, she called the guard over anxiously and asked about the "messenger".
The guard didn't understand the situation, but he still said: "Your Majesty, nothing happened. We have been guarding the door, and he is in the deepest cell, but he is at peace."
…Are you at peace
At that moment, the queen suddenly had an urge to hit someone.
"Okay, take me over and show me how peaceful he is." She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said in a calm voice.
The guard looked confused, but nodded apprehensively.
About ten minutes later.
"Is this what you call peace of mind?"
I saw that the door in the cell was still locked, but the people inside had disappeared without a trace. And, even more surprising, there was a quote carved into the cell wall.
-Stupid old woman, wait for the judgment of the Holy Light, you will die miserably.
The moment they saw this sentence, the faces of several guards turned pale. They didn't know how the people ran away, but at this moment, they could only lower their heads in panic, not even daring to see the queen's reaction.
As for the Queen herself…
Her expression looked quite calm, and the corners of her mouth were even slightly curved, almost as if she was about to smile. But if you look closely, you can see that there seems to be a vein beating around her only remaining eye.
