In fact, after learning that the Wood family was in good condition, Benjamin made plans to leave directly. The fact that Elizabeth's parents can go to the cemetery to "sweep her grave" means that they are doing well and there should be no problems.
But... there are too many people in the church outside now, and it is difficult for him to continue causing trouble, and there is nothing else to do. Therefore, he decided to go over and take a look, and this help should be sincere.
The cemetery in Horli Kingdom was built by the church, and nobles and some distinguished people were buried in it. Benjamin left the village and flew north for more than ten minutes before arriving at the nearest cemetery. Judging from what the guards said, the Woods could only "sweep Elizabeth's grave" here.
Landing at the entrance of the cemetery, Benjamin was just about to sense the scene inside. At this moment, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar came out.
"... Count, Madam, no matter what, I'm glad to see you today. Please be careful on the road."
Benjamin frowned.
This voice…
"It's indeed Miles." Sensing his doubts, the system with accurate database and analysis capabilities also spoke, saying with certainty in Benjamin's heart.
… what's the situation
Benjamin felt a little confused.
He was just here to help Elizabeth see how her parents were doing, so why did he bump into Miles in a place like a cemetery? Wasn't Miles still wanted by the church before? Why is he still staying in Horli Kingdom and greeting Mr. and Mrs. Wood in the cemetery
Have these two parties... known each other before
He even felt a little incredible.
While Benjamin was puzzled, the Woods walked out of the cemetery gate. They seemed to be in good spirits, and there was no sense of malaise caused by the loss of a child.
After walking out of the gate, they glanced at Benjamin casually, and then slowly left the cemetery, escorted by many other people.
Benjamin’s eyes no longer followed them.
"…Miles."
He walked into the cemetery, which was very deserted. Among the numerous tombstones, only Miles' figure remained. Therefore, Benjamin doesn’t have to worry about being exposed.
He just wanted to know what was going on.
"You...are Benjamin?"
Miles also turned around and squinted his eyes for a long time to observe, his behavior changing again and again, until finally he recognized Benjamin under his disguise.
Benjamin nodded and immediately asked: "What are you doing here? Isn't it time to leave the Horli Kingdom long ago? And... why do you know people from the Wood family?"
Miles was stunned for a while, then came to his senses: "You have so many questions."
"... It's your whereabouts that are too weird."
Miles shook his head helplessly, suddenly turned around, pointed to a tombstone next to him, shrugged, and said, "What else can you do in the cemetery? Of course you come to pay homage to the dead."
Benjamin looked towards the tombstone.
Tomb of Miles Gall.
“…”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment, and it took him a while to recover. Then, he said with a speechless expression: "You live a good life, why do you want to build a tombstone for yourself?"
"I didn't set this up." Miles snorted and said, "My father set it up for me."
Benjamin was stunned.
He finally realized that Miles' current state seemed different from before.
"In addition, as to why I know people from the Wood family... I was born in the Kingdom of Hori." He lowered his head and surprisingly continued, "My father was once a soldier who worked for the Wood family. Knight. So when I was a kid, I knew the Woods."
Benjamin's expression became more surprised.
He didn't expect that this legendary mercenary was actually from the Horli Kingdom. He never expected that Miles, who had always been mysterious and mysterious, would suddenly become talkative in this unknown cemetery.
This guy…
However, after saying this, Miles looked at his tombstone and suddenly stopped talking.
"Then...how did you become like this?" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more silent, Benjamin had no choice but to speak and use awkward chat to resolve the embarrassment in front of him.
Hearing this, Miles frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Because... maybe this is what others want me to be."
“…”
Benjamin was suddenly at a loss for words and didn't know how to continue.
It seemed that he had accidentally triggered a strange side mission, but he had just taken two steps and the mission was already stuck. He didn't know how to continue.
Fortunately, Miles seems to realize this as well.
"Forget it... Why am I telling you this?" He shook his head, showed an absent-minded expression again, and changed the topic, "These days, those priests who keep dying in the church should be your work. Right? Is this why you came all the way here?"
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Miles the deal between him and the Foer family. When he heard about "diverting the church's attention," Miles immediately showed great interest.
"Interesting..." He touched his chin and suddenly said, "I have a proposal. I wonder if you are interested?"
"What proposal?"
"Go to Havenright, and the church's attention will be completely attracted to you."
When Benjamin heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said, "Isn't this too much fun? Unlike you, I am not immune to all magic attacks. The capital is the church's headquarters. If I dare to do it there, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape.”
Although the ten minutes of "Waterfall" are very invincible, they are not really completely invincible. Besides, there are only ten minutes. If the church spends the lives of thousands of priests to fill these ten minutes, what will it do next
He wouldn't do something so reckless.
Miles said, "No... I'm not asking you to attack St. Peter's Cathedral. You are also from Havenright, so you should know that there are many secrets hidden in that city, right?"
"what do you mean?"
"The Secret of the Valley of God's Abandonment."
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Miles continued: "This time I sneaked into St. Peter's Basilica and found some very interesting things. Judging from some ancient documents stored there, plus... some information I knew before, the Valley of God's Abandonment is very Probably in Havenright.”
“…”
Benjamin didn't know what to say.
Yes, he also wore the bracelet called the "key" on his body. Yes, there are thousands of rumors about the Valley of God's Abandonment. But, the Valley of God’s Abandonment is in Havenright? Doesn't this sound a bit ridiculous
The geographical location of Havenright is an extremely regular plain. Tens of thousands of years of crustal movement will not turn the valley into a plain, right? Moreover, Havenright can be said to be the political, economic and cultural center of the Kingdom of Hori. How could the royal family build the capital in such an unlucky place many years ago
So Benjamin shook his head.
