Miles looked a little surprised and immediately asked: "You're not going? Why? Don't you want to see the legendary Valley of the Abandoned Gods?"
"No... I just don't think the Valley of God's Abandonment will be in Havenright."
"The key is not with you? It won't hurt if you try it." Miles's attitude was unexpectedly persistent. "I have heard quite a lot of rumors about the Valley of the Abandoned Gods. After screening, most of them are Some credible clues point to the Kingdom of Hori. There is definitely a reason why the church chose this place as its base."
Benjamin scratched his head when he heard this.
"Are you really so insistent?"
"It's just a try. There's no danger." Miles continued, "Don't you still want to find ways to divert the church's attention? I can also contribute a lot to this kind of thing."
Benjamin looked helpless. But since the other party said so, in the end, he nodded.
Sneaking into Havenright sounds a bit dangerous, but it is such a complicated city after all. As long as they hide themselves well, the church should not find any signs.
Besides...it might as well go back and take a look.
So, after a brief meeting in the cemetery, Benjamin and Miles also left here one after another and set off towards Havenright. Benjamin flies fast and should be able to reach the place before Miles and visit acquaintances in the city.
The Paladins on the road are still patrolling everywhere, but Benjamin has developed a good hiding method - he uses tiny water droplets to create cloud-like thick fog to hide his figure in the sky. Therefore, he can fly without restraint, and no matter how many people look up at the sky, they will not be able to spot him.
One day later, he arrived in the city successfully.
"I am back again."
After sneaking in under the inspection of the city gate defenders, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh while walking in the streets of the outer city. The streets near the North City Gate have not changed much. Even the children begging along the street seem to be familiar faces from before.
Benjamin turned around a few times and then quietly entered the inner city.
The changes in the inner city were even smaller. Everything was the same as when he left. He even felt like he was familiar with the roads. After making several detours and avoiding the priests coming and going on the road, he soon arrived at the gate of the Riise family.
The big house of the Riise family is still there, and they were not deprived of their noble status just because there was a "rebellious mage" in the family. But... I'm afraid most of this is due to Grant, right
-If the church hadn't valued Grant so much, the Reese family might have been wiped out after the water polo in the capital.
The water element induction method was launched, and the scenes in the house gradually emerged, and Benjamin saw many familiar faces. The maids, servants, housekeepers... nothing had changed much. He even saw Jeremy squatting on the stairs of the basement, sorting the potatoes all over the room.
As for the members of the Riese family, they are not in the house at the moment, and they don't know where they are.
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
Times have changed...
"Sir, what's the matter? Why do you stop outside our house?"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, and Benjamin turned around, only to see Claude and several accompanying servants looking at him suspiciously not far away.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "...It's nothing. This is my first time coming to Havenright. I passed by by chance and saw such a beautiful house, so I couldn't help but take a second look. "
He was distracted for a moment and didn't notice that Claude came back at this moment.
Speaking of which, Claude's appearance didn't change much from before, with a straight face as if everyone owed him money. However, Benjamin could feel a sense of exhaustion in his eyes that he had not seen before.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But... it's impossible for him to reveal his identity at this time, which will only bring more trouble to the Reese family, and Claude didn't seem to recognize him. Therefore, he could only find some excuses to excuse himself.
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment." Claude seemed to have no doubts, nodded and said, "I am Claude Reese, this is the house built by our ancestors. If you are interested, you can come in and have a look .”
Benjamin shook his head quickly.
"No need... I have other things to do. I just happened to pass by and take a look so I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he smiled politely, turned around, and hurriedly left here before Claude could recognize anything from his figure or voice.
After walking for a while, he stopped in a remote street and sighed quietly until he walked out of the inner city.
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if you don't need to disguise, your appearance now has changed a lot from before. He may not be able to recognize you." The system suddenly spoke and said in Benjamin's mind.
Benjamin shook his head and said nothing.
In any case, it is enough to confirm that the Riese family is still fine. Although he still didn't know what happened to Mary later, but... Benjamin no longer had any thoughts of revenge.
At this moment, he just wanted to achieve his goal.
Benjamin found a hotel in the outer city and stayed here, patiently waiting for Miles' arrival. Probably affected by the serial deaths of priests, there were often people from the church patrolling the streets, and the atmosphere was tense, but he had been hiding well and had not been discovered.
Two days later, he met Miles who had arrived in the royal capital at the agreed street.
"You walk so slowly..." Benjamin couldn't help but complain.
"I can't fly."
"It's my fault."
“…”
In any case, they came here for the Valley of God’s Abandonment. So, after a brief but friendly exchange, they quickly got down to business.
"I've searched in many places, but there are no clues about the Valley of the Abandoned Gods. Are you sure the information you got is true? The Queen previously thought that the Valley of the Abandoned Gods was under Glori," Benjamin said.
In the past few days, he had walked a lot of streets in the outer city, but the bracelet in his pocket was still silent, and he didn't notice anything strange. The city was a city and bore no resemblance to the valley where the legendary battle took place.
However, Miles smiled slightly.
"I already know where that place is, come with me."
“…”
Didn’t you say you came here to look for it? Why did you turn around and find out again
Benjamin was confused.
However, Miles didn't seem to want to explain, and had already turned around and started walking. He had no choice but to frown and follow behind to see what kind of medicine this guy was selling.
Half an hour later.
"Wait, this direction... the entrance to the Valley of God's Abandonment is at the prison ruins?" As the route gradually became clearer, Benjamin was stunned for a moment, followed behind, and said with a strange expression.
