They were a few young people with a long history of work, and the tone of their request was also very sincere. The students communicated with the teacher who led the team, and there was no objection, so they were allowed to join the team.
"We only go as far as Lant City, and we can't escort you all the way. You know that, right?" Laila, who was in charge of leading the team, glanced at them and said calmly.
The traveler was led by a strong man with short hair. Hearing this, he naturally showed a grateful expression and nodded hurriedly with his companions.
"Understood! Understood! We won't interfere with you."
In this way, with a few little tails, the internship team continued on the road. On the way, the students must have been in the academy for a long time. They often talked to travelers and showed off their magic skills from time to time. It was obvious that they had some vanity at work.
Benjamin did not participate, but watched all this silently.
He could understand this mentality. After finally learning magic, he always had the urge to be a hero, but... the identities of those travelers seemed a bit suspicious.
"Are these people Paladins?" He said slowly in his heart, "Although the water element induction method didn't scan anything, but... I always feel that something is wrong."
The system said: "Why? I didn't find any definite clues."
"I don't know, I guess intuitively." Benjamin sighed in his heart and said, "Although their accents and clothes are perfect, but... I feel that they are from Havenlight, and they always give me something... A subtle sense of familiarity.”
After hearing the words, the system was silent for a while, seeming to analyze Benjamin's doubts in its logical way. After about half a minute, it spoke again and gave a negative answer.
"It can't be the Paladins. I just scanned them. Their physical fitness is not up to par."
"… All right."
Benjamin couldn't ask any more questions. He had no clear evidence, just based on his feelings. Maybe he was too suspicious and had that idea in his heart, so he looked like a church member to everyone.
What's more, even if these people are really Paladins, so what
He followed the internship team just to prevent these accidents. "Water's Coming" has cooled down, and he has absolute confidence in himself - before the situation becomes particularly critical, he does not need to take action, he can just observe in secret, and he can also observe the resilience of these students.
In this way, having made up his mind, Benjamin settled down and decided to do whatever he wanted to do, while silently paying attention to every move of these travelers.
"Brother, are you and the Masters together?"
However, Benjamin did not go to them. Instead, they came to talk to Benjamin. The strong man at the head came over and asked with a warm and hospitable look.
Benjamin shook his head.
"You think too highly of me." He said with a smile, "I just went to Carrites to discuss business and came back, and I got separated from my companions. The mages are kind-hearted and are willing to take me for a ride, otherwise I might die. I have to explain it here."
"I see, I don't know where these mages are from? The mages I've met before are unwilling to pay attention to people like us."
"haha, yes… "
Benjamin tried his best to chat to death, and it was difficult for the other party to continue. So in the end, the strong men could only laugh awkwardly, and then returned to their partners.
Benjamin felt even stranger.
Did this guy discover his identity
After years of practice, his camouflage skills have been fully activated for a long time. Even if he gets very close, most people won't notice anything unusual. He was following the team now, not to mention the students, even Laila, who had been following him for so long, didn't recognize him. This is quite certain.
Are you worrying too much? Or does the church have some weird tricks
After driving for a long time with doubts, they encountered some magical beasts. The students skillfully resolved the danger, and the travelers on the side kept applauding them.
However, Benjamin felt that the eyes of these people looked like they were secretly observing the students.
The students' every move when facing the enemy, their proficiency in using magic, the power of magic... This kind of focused observation does not look like a passerby who has no knowledge of magic, but an agent with ulterior motives.
Yes, agent, he actually thought of that word.
These people did not carry weapons and did not seem to be dangerous, but Benjamin felt that they seemed to be collecting students' information and might want to pass it on to a certain force.
An eyeliner from the Kingdom of Hori...
The church seems to have learned a lesson and no longer sends internal personnel such as priests and paladins, but instead uses this kind of specialized intelligence personnel, probably because it wants to obtain more information about the academy.
Realizing this, Benjamin wanted to take action directly and deal with these peeping guys. But... he still had to hold back, information might be leaked anyway. If he takes action, this internship will have no training effect.
He really hoped that the students would quickly discover something was wrong with these people, but unfortunately, they were chatting quite happily.
"That's awesome! Do you know any magic?"
"Of course, I know a total of three primary magics. This one is the continuous fireball. I'm not familiar with it yet. This one is..."
Those "travelers" had been taking pictures of the students' horses, showing their admiration for magic. The students had no resistance to this kind of appearance, and they told him all the news without asking any questions.
Benjamin was speechless.
The vigilance is too low. Fortunately, the few who came are men. If they are women, will they all run away with others
Fortunately, Laila, who was leading the team, seemed to have discovered something was wrong.
Accompanied by a low-pitched spell, several shadows flew out and directly tied up those people. Laila took action as if nothing had happened, and used magic to restrain the people before anyone could react.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Even the students next to him were shocked.
"Teacher, this is..."
"Shh, don't make any sound. I'm interrogating a spy sent by the enemy."
The students froze on the spot, looking at each other.
"Mr. Master, I don't understand what you are talking about?" The few people tied together by the black shadow looked panicked and shouted quickly, "We just wanted to go to Lant City..."
"Nonsense." Laila smiled sarcastically and said, "If you are really from Freden, what is the sword and shield badge you are wearing under your clothes?"
The man was stunned and immediately said: "You must have misunderstood. We have nothing under our clothes. How can we be wearing the royal emblem?"
Laila shrugged and said: "Really? But I don't seem to have said that the sword and shield badge is the badge representing the royal family of the Horli Kingdom, right? You are not from Freden at all. This kind of thing is the talent of the Horli Kingdom. Know."
"No... we... we've been there once before, so we've seen their badge..."
Those people were still trying to defend themselves, but the expressions of the students were different.
"Is he really a spy from the church..."
They looked at the tied people with disbelief in their eyes. The feeling of being deceived obviously also made them feel uncomfortable.
"No! Please believe us, we are really not spies!" The strong man at the head roared again, suddenly looked at Benjamin, and said, "You should ask him. Look at his disguise, he is Huo Huo He is from the kingdom! He is a spy sent from somewhere else!"
The students were stunned again.
When Benjamin saw this, he held his forehead and looked speechless.
