When Benjamin heard this, he smiled and said, "I will come all the way. Of course I have something to do."
He was not going to explain it to these people in detail. After all, they have no idea about the situation abroad, and they don't know about the existence of Icol, the Mages Guild, the Magic Academy, etc., and it is very troublesome to explain them.
Although he was a little curious about how Elizabeth became a mage, and how the tall and the short escaped from the destruction of the Silent Academy, but... we will talk about it later.
Now that there is this opportunity, it is better to take them abroad first.
Soon, these mages called other companions in the town over, and more than a dozen mages gathered in a deserted corner. Those people looked at Benjamin with curious and expectant eyes, and Benjamin led them quietly out of Crewe Town and to the foot of a nearby mountain.
"S-Senior, can you really take us over the mountain?" Someone still seemed not sure, saying, "I don't know how to fly yet. If I encounter a large number of griffins, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. come out… "
Benjamin smiled slightly, chanted a spell, opened the water element field, and then lifted everyone up with water vapor.
"Don't worry. When you encounter a large group of griffins, you might as well worry about whether your backpack is big enough to hold enough Warcraft materials."
"Warcraft materials? Then... what's the use?"
Benjamin shook his head helplessly and said, "You will understand after we get out."
With these mages, he just planned to fly over the mountain. However, after flying for a while, he sensed some suspicious guys in the mountain road ahead and suddenly stopped.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Benjamin put away his smile, looked seriously, and glanced around the dozen mages.
"There is an ambush from the church ahead. They know what you are going to do. Among you... there are people from the church."
Through the water element induction method, he could clearly sense that there were nearly a hundred priests lying in ambush at the corner of the mountain road far ahead. The priests formed a circle and were waiting quietly for them to approach.
Benjamin was a little surprised when he discovered this scene. After all, Elizabeth had said before that she was very accurate in identifying people and had already identified the church's undercover agents.
The result... Now it seems that it is not accurate enough.
"Did anyone snitch?"
Listening to Benjamin's words, all the mages were shocked.
They looked wary, and the atmosphere of excitement and anticipation suddenly became subtle. The whole scene was like a snowy mountain murder case, and then a certain detective pointed his finger and said: "The murderer is among us!"
These mages looked at each other around their companions with nervous expressions, as if they were trying to find the traitor among them.
Benjamin also frowned.
There was an ambush from the church ahead, which meant that someone must have tipped off, but now everyone has been scanned several times by him using the water element induction method, but no sign of any undercover agent was found.
… Hidden so deeply
"No. Ever since you said you would take us over the mountain, we have been gathering here, and no one has left." Elizabeth thought for a while, but then said, "Even if there is an undercover agent hiding among us. , and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to inform the church."
As soon as this statement came out, the others were stunned again.
Okay, it seems like this is really the case...
Benjamin touched his chin and thought carefully. Indeed, the church's tools for communicating with each other are not that subtle. If someone passes on a message, he should not be unaware of it.
And from the town of Crewe to the foot of the mountain, no one with knowledge left.
"Wait a minute, it can't be... It's not you who is lying to us, right?"
In this atmosphere of mutual suspicion, the short mage was stunned, suddenly looked at Benjamin, and said this, as if even Benjamin became suspicious in his eyes.
Benjamin shook his head: "If I want to do this to you, I will just throw you down from here. Do you have the ability to resist?"
Don't forget, they are still being held up by the water vapor summoned from the water elemental realm.
"Oh... It seems to be true..."
The short mage scratched his head and said as if he had a sudden realization.
However, the immediate problem remains unresolved.
"I think that since we have stayed in the town for so long, if someone really snitched, they would have been arrested by the church." Another mage said hesitantly, "Everyone should still be trustworthy. Could it be the church?" Have you heard about it elsewhere?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth also nodded, obviously she still believed in her ability to read people.
Benjamin thought for a while, and just as he was about to say something, he sensed that the group of ambush priests in the distance began to move - they quietly moved towards this side.
Suddenly, Benjamin's heart moved.
The distance between them and the priest is still quite far, and there are various obstacles in between. Unless the priests also learned the water element induction method, they would not have known that a group of mages had stopped here.
So...where do you get the news about these guys
"Don't discuss this now, be careful, those guys are coming." Seeing that the priests were coming over soon, Benjamin said.
The few mages who were still arguing stopped again, showing expressions of astonishment.
"How many people are there... on the other side?"
Benjamin shrugged and said, "About seventy or eighty priests."
Suddenly, all the mages looked panicked.
"Hurry, run quickly! Senior, we don't want to die here yet!"
Benjamin smiled and said nothing more.
After the priest started moving, their speed was quite fast. After a while, they emerged from the corner of the mountain road, flew into the air, formed a wide encirclement, and surrounded the mages.
These mages looked at a loss. They were led by Benjamin to fly in the sky. They had no ability to move, and they could not escape in a hurry before the priest surrounded them.
"It's over, it's over..."
Even Elizabeth, who seemed the calmest, became a little nervous looking at these priests.
"Senior, why don't you take us and run away quickly? It's better now. We managed to escape from the first siege, but in the end we will be killed by you!" The tall mage wiped his face and said desperately said.
The priests also stared at the mages in the circle, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Stay well in Crewe Town, you can live for a while longer. If you are so anxious to leave, we can only fulfill your punishment in place of God's will."
Of all the people, Benjamin was probably the only one whose expression was calmer.
"...Can I ask, how did you discover us?" He looked at the priests and suddenly spoke, seemingly casually.
