"I can tell you about that woman, but in exchange, you have to call one of your men over. I have some questions to ask him." Benjamin asked the scarred man.
Scar Man's men were all sent outside, and now there were only two of them in the sewer. Benjamin could use magic to kill the scarred man at this moment, and no one would notice.
But he still didn't do it.
If he kills the scarred man, he will have some trouble finding the assassin. Rather than using force so quickly, it is better to discuss the terms with the other party first. Anyway, Mr. Assassin is Scar Man's subordinate, and it is very convenient for Scar Man to call him over.
After he finished asking the questions, Scar Man sent Mr. Assassin away. At that time, Benjamin could take action. After he kills the scarred man, he can escape as long as he finds another exit from the sewer. The men outside probably don't even know what happened.
There was no way, there were too many people, Benjamin couldn't kill them all, and doing so would be a bit bloody and prone to accidents.
This was the plan Benjamin came up with on the way here. This plan is relatively complete. The only difficulty is how to convince the scarred man.
He would definitely not agree to Benjamin's proposal so easily.
"Exchange? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me? I've even killed the Paladin, why do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
As he said that, the scarred man took out his pistol without any explanation and put it against Benjamin's forehead. His index finger was on the trigger, and with just one click, Benjamin would be headshot.
If this was the first time that Benjamin was pointed at a gun, he might be confused, but unfortunately, this is not the first time for him.
Faced with this situation, although he was still a little nervous, his thinking was still very clear. It was impossible for Scar Man to kill him. The other party did this just to scare him.
Hasn't he been scared enough times since time travel
"Kill me and you will never know where Michelle is." He looked directly into the other person's eyes and said this with an extremely firm tone.
The scarred man did not move, and the muzzle of the gun was still pointed at Benjamin's forehead. Benjamin even felt the coldness of the muzzle and the hidden heat inside the gun body. For a second or two, he thought the other party was about to shoot.
The confrontation lasted about half a minute.
The scarred man suddenly let out a cold snort and put the gun back.
Although he had expected this scene, Benjamin still breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and the mark left by the muzzle of the gun.
Is there any way, even if you think clearly in your mind, wouldn't you feel frightened if a gun is pressed against your forehead
Just when Benjamin thought the scarred man would speak, he suddenly grabbed Benjamin's hands, restrained Benjamin with a movement similar to a grapple, and then began to search Benjamin's body.
Benjamin was a little surprised, but not surprised.
With the scarred man's cunning, he would definitely become suspicious when he saw how bold he was.
Soon, the gun specially equipped for the Paladin that Benjamin was carrying was found by the scarred man.
The scarred man held the gun, let go of Benjamin, and laughed.
"Let me tell you, there must be something fishy about a noble kid who can remain so calm when pointed at by a gun." He looked at the gun in his hand, then stuffed it into his waistband, "I'm looking down on him. Forget you, if I hadn't been more careful, I would have capsized in the gutter today."
Benjamin looked at the scarred man angrily.
Damn it, don't stick my gun in your ass, I'm too dirty.
But the scarred man obviously misunderstood Benjamin's anger, and he smiled even more proudly.
"How is it? Master Benjamin, now, do you still want to negotiate terms with me?"
Benjamin snorted disdainfully and said, "Of course we have to talk. If you don't call your subordinate over, I won't tell you anything even if I die."
The scarred man finally showed an unexpected expression.
He came closer, looked at Benjamin a few more times, and made a sound of surprise. He walked from left to right, then from right to left, looked at Benjamin for a long time, and suddenly, he laughed.
He said: "I have never seen such a courageous nobleman. It's interesting. Okay, just ask a few questions. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of that woman, I can ask you hundreds of questions! Who do you want to see? Call him over."
His attitude also changed very quickly. He looked fierce just now, but suddenly he showed a heroic attitude.
Benjamin didn't care about the scarred man's sudden change. He was very happy when he got a satisfactory answer.
The biggest difficulty is solved.
Everything went smoothly as he planned, and the scarred man agreed much more easily than he imagined. Next, there is no possibility of any accidents.
Perhaps the Scar Man agreed so easily because he began to think Benjamin was suspicious and wanted to test Benjamin. But, no matter what, let him test it. Is it possible that he can still test the identity of the mage
To put it bluntly, Benjamin can kill the opponent instantly at any time, and he is confident.
"It's the tall, thin guy with freckles on his face, wearing tattered linen clothes. I saw him in the tavern." He replied.
Hearing this, the scarred man nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to your conditions, and you must remember to fulfill your promise." After saying that, he turned around, walked to the entrance of the sewer, and said He shouted loudly outside.
"Where is the bamboo pole? Call him over here!"
After a while, a response came from the top: "Boss, which bamboo pole is this?"
The man with the scar looked impatient and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The new bamboo pole, it's not the old bamboo pole, it's the new one who came a few days ago! Let him come down, I have something to ask him!"
There was no sound from above, so Scar Man and Benjamin had no choice but to be patient and wait for a while. Finally, the voice came down from above again:
"Boss, Hsinchugan said he had an urgent need to urinate, so he ran to pee, but he had been peeing for a long time, and no one could find him. The mouse said he was too tender. He probably just got scared and ran away."
“…”
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
What the hell
Benjamin once again felt the deep malice coming from this world.
"Did that person also recognize me, so he ran away before I could find him?" Surrounded by a sense of cheating that he couldn't express, he harbored deep resentment towards him. asked the system.
"Probably not. The way that person looked at you before, it really didn't look like he recognized you." The system replied, "But looking at the way he walked all the way here, he really looked like Urgent need to pee.”
Benjamin was silent for a moment, and said somewhat speechlessly: "So you mean, he really went out to pee, and then he really got lost and can't come back?"
The system said nonchalantly: "Maybe, with his character, it wouldn't be surprising to do such a thing."
“…”
What should I do? What the system said seemed to make sense. Benjamin felt like he couldn’t find any reason to refute it.
well…
Play with yarn.
Why did this person disappear just as I was about to ask him? Are you really that unlucky
He worked hard to get here, carefully crafted a plan, and fought with wits and courage to convince the scarred man, but in the end, he fell into an "urgent need"
Benjamin looked helpless.
As for the scarred man, after hearing the answer from his men, his expression did not change. He just shouted to the outside casually: "I know, it's none of your business, go ahead and do what you have to do!"
After shouting to his men, he walked back to Benjamin, spread his hands in a pretended helplessness, and said: "You heard it too, it's not that I didn't help you, he ran away on his own, what can I do? You can't It’s my fault.”
Benjamin had no choice but to ask about the plan of the person behind the assassin, and it ended in failure—and it failed in such a completely unexpected way.
But he didn't give up.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Then you must at least tell me the news about this bamboo pole. When did he come, where did he come from, where does he usually move around, and what is his name. If you don't even have these, Don’t even think about me telling you where Michelle is.”
Hearing this, the scarred man's face darkened.
"Your demands are a bit too much. Do you really think I have to rely on you to find that woman? Do you really think I dare not kill you?" As he said this, he looked like he was about to touch a gun again.
"Of course, no one knows where she is except me." Benjamin answered confidently.
He was not inflated, but he knew very well how superb Michelle's hiding skills were. Even if the church wants to find Michelle, it has to rely on Benjamin, let alone this bandit leader.
Judging from his appearance, he must have been looking for Michelle for several months, but he couldn't even touch a hair. In this case, Benjamin was the only clue he could find. How could he attack Benjamin
Not only is he confident because of his strength, but he is also confident that he has no blind spots in all directions.
It seems a bit bloated, no, no, no, keep your mentality and respond to the enemy with caution.
"Damn, you little brat, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me." Sure enough, the scarred man withdrew his hand to draw the gun, grabbed Benjamin's collar with one hand, lifted him up, and began to curse.
What else can this reaction mean
It shows that Scar Man really has nothing to do with Benjamin, so he can only curse a few curse words, but can't do anything.
Seeing this, Benjamin became a little curious. What kind of sworn hatred did Scar Man and Michelle have that made him search for Michelle so persistently
Out of caution, he began to try to analyze the scarred man's psychology.
Hatred shouldn't have such great power, it can only be...interest.
Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the scarred man's close, violent eyes.
No, these are not a pair of violent eyes. The emotions hidden in these eyes are helplessness, unwillingness, and ambition... He is the most powerful robber in the kingdom, but his mountaintop was destroyed by the church, and all his men died. Only he escaped. He shouldn't hate Michel, he should hate the church, but he has no ability to fight against the church unless...
An idea popped into Benjamin's mind.
An unfounded, yet extremely convincing conclusion.
He wants to learn magic.
Scar Man is looking for Michelle not because he has any grudge against Michelle, but because he wants to become a mage through Michelle and gain more power.
Just as Benjamin was coming up with this conclusion, the scarred man was also looking at Benjamin, perhaps also trying to figure out Benjamin's psychology. He looked at Benjamin's unchanging expression, and suddenly, with his brows knotted, he said:
"Are you a mage?"
