The identity of the mage is a major lifeblood of Benjamin and must not be exposed. Scar Man could guess that Benjamin was a mage so easily, which made Benjamin feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that he accidentally exposed some flaw
He thought it was better to ask so that he could take precautions in the future. Otherwise, if he accidentally exposed the same flaw in front of the bishop, he would be killed on the spot.
So he asked the question.
However, what the scarred man spat out from his fighting teeth was this answer:
"I... I didn't realize you were a mage. I... just felt a little suspicious. I casually... said something casually... to test you. I didn't expect... I didn't expect you were really, really a mage."
“…”
Damn it, I'm overthinking it again.
Benjamin felt a little disappointed after receiving such an answer. But from another perspective, this just shows that he has no flaws, right
He felt a little more relieved.
After solving this problem, he asked the next question: "Your subordinate, that Xin Zhugan, tell me everything you know about him."
The scarred man shivered for a long time, but said: "I... I don't know where he came from. These men... these men are all my friends... a bunch of people gathered together for me. How can I have time... to figure it out?" Everyone’s details…”
Benjamin was even more disappointed.
He didn't expect that this notorious robber would be such a clueless guy.
Forget it, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything here.
In this case, there is no point in staying here. It is better to silence the scarred man first and then leave this place quickly. If he was interested, he could look for the assassin nearby, but if he wasn't interested, he would just take Jeremy home.
He's wasted enough time on this matter.
So, Benjamin turned off the safety of the gun and prepared to kill the scarred man with one shot.
"Don't! Don't... Master Mage! Don't kill me... My men will rush in when they hear the gunfire... They will definitely find out your identity... Don't kill me!" The scarred man immediately panicked. His hands and feet were frozen, but he still crawled to Benjamin's feet and begged.
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right. If the gunfire attracts other people, it will be very troublesome."
Besides, if he thought about it carefully, there was no need for him to waste bullets.
The damage caused by the ice needle to the scarred man was very terrible, and his body had suffered irreversible frostbite. Although he can still speak and struggle now, he will gradually die due to muscle atrophy after a while.
There was no way he could ask for help from his men. He used to shout to talk to his men, but now he can hardly speak, let alone shout? His men couldn't hear it. It is estimated that after a while, he will not even be able to speak.
To put it bluntly, he is already a dead man, and it makes no difference whether he shoots or not.
Thinking like this, Benjamin put away the gun instead.
What Benjamin can realize, the scarred man has personally experienced, so he is naturally more aware of it. Seeing that Benjamin was tending to leave him here, he immediately begged again: "Master Mage, you... please help me, okay? I... I can be a cow or a horse for you, I can do things for you... I … I also know a lot of things, a lot of things about mages…”
Benjamin ignored him and walked to Jeremy, preparing to drag the fainted Jeremy out of here.
"Don't go! Magic... Master Mage! Save me! Only your magic... Spell can save me, I... I know where there are elemental crystals, as long as... As long as you save me, I will tell you right away... Master Mage... "
Suddenly, Benjamin stopped.
He changed his decision to leave Scar Man here again.
He turned around and returned to the scarred man, looking at him wordlessly.
"Master Mage, it's true... that woman also got to know her because of the elemental crystals. I... I know where the elemental crystals are. As long as you save me, I will take you there right away!" Seeing this, the scarred male statue stranded on the The fish on the beach finally saw the waves, and the light of hope appeared in their eyes again.
Benjamin didn't speak. He looked at the scarred man and seemed to be thinking.
The scarred man became even more excited. He repeated similar words just now, desperately begging Benjamin, and his will to survive was clearly reflected in him at this moment.
But Benjamin didn't seem to be listening.
He thought for a while and finally started to move. He bent down and began to search the scarred man's body. A dagger, a small bag of gold coins, a gun, a few boxes of bullets, a map... He searched out all the scarred man's things, keeping the ones that were useful and throwing away the ones that were useless.
Then, he chanted a spell and summoned a healing water ball in his hand.
"Thank you! Thank you, Master Mage!" The scarred man immediately cheered up. Looking at him like that, it seemed that if he hadn't been frozen, he would have wanted to worship Benjamin.
The water ball was photographed on Scar Man, and then Benjamin immediately summoned another water ball.
The scarred man's injuries were serious and could not be solved by a few water balloons. Fortunately, Benjamin's strength has greatly increased, and the healing water polo he summons every time is also very large, so he is not helpless in the face of such injuries.
After more than twenty therapeutic water balloon shots, the scarred man finally fully recovered from his injury.
He got up from the ground and moved his limbs in surprise. His body was as flexible as ever, and there wasn't even a trace of frostbite visible.
"Master Mage, your magic is so amazing..." He said while looking up at Benjamin.
However, what he saw was a black muzzle.
boom!
Benjamin held the gun that Scar Man used to kill the Paladin, pulled the trigger, and hit it right between the eyebrows.
With an expression of horror, despair and disbelief, the scarred man fell down, blood slowly overflowing from the bullet hole on his forehead. His eyes were so stunned, as if he would not understand even until his death why Benjamin suddenly changed his mind and shot him after spending so much effort to treat him.
In fact, Benjamin did not change his mind.
From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Scar Man go.
This is a guy who is full of evil, even if he is killed a thousand times, Benjamin will not pity him in the least. He also didn't believe in the "element crystal" that Scar Man said. This man was ambitious and cunning, and would never surrender sincerely. Believing him is tantamount to putting yourself on the edge of a knife.
He will cure the scarred man first and then kill him, just for one reason:
Let the scarred man not look like he died at the hands of a mage.
Today's trip to the outer city had caused quite a stir, and even the paladin sent by the church to protect him was dead. Once the church finds out, it will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. As one of the protagonists of the incident, Benjamin must make up a convincing story in order to still look innocent.
His story is this: After the Paladin was killed by Scar Man, he and Jeremy were both taken away by Scar Man. Scar Man took him to the sewer and interrogated him about Michelle. When Scar Man was not paying attention, he shot Scar Man to death.
Although this story sounds a bit bizarre, it is not unreasonable.
In order to fit the story that Benjamin made up, the scarred man must die from a gunshot, and there must be no suspicious traces of frostbite on his body - that's why Benjamin had to work so hard to completely cure the scarred man without leaving any traces.
So, there was the scene just now.
He had no choice but to be extremely cautious when walking in the city where the church had the most influence.
After killing Scar Man, Benjamin didn't have time to commemorate the first time he killed someone with his own hands, so he picked up Jeremy and ran away. The sound of gunfire will definitely alert Scar Man's men. Benjamin doesn't know if they will come down to check the situation, but Benjamin doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
In short, you cannot stay in the land of right and wrong for long.
Fortunately, after these days of military training, his physical strength has improved a lot, otherwise he would not be able to carry the fainted Jeremy, let alone escape.
However…
He had just picked up Jeremy when suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Benjamin Reese, was it you who used magic in this place just now?"
Benjamin turned around in shock and saw a group of knights standing at the entrance of the sewer, looking at him from a distance.
There are fourteen of them in total, wearing gorgeous and solemn armor, which shines brightly even in a place like the sewer. They lined up neatly, holding golden swords in their hands. The leader's sword was pointed at Benjamin's throat.
Benjamin's breathing was stagnant, his heart almost stopped beating, and all the blood in his body seemed to be rushing to his head.
It's over.
It's the "cleaner".
