This time, Benjamin really didn’t know what to say.
No wonder Miles is so obsessed with the legendary holy sword. When a person only has three years left to live, he will do everything possible to extend this period no matter what.
However... that rusty broken sword seemed unable to fulfill his wish.
Shaking his head, Benjamin walked over and picked up the broken sword again.
He tried to pour spiritual power into it, but the spiritual power contained in the sword was too huge. The spiritual power was swallowed instantly like a mud cow entering the sea. The Broken Sword itself had no special reaction.
"Perhaps... this sword can indeed lift the curse, but that is also because the spiritual power contained in it is very strong, and the curse is a special method of spiritual application." After thinking about it, he spoke again, "In your case, I Guess it's not strictly a curse, and the sword won't be useful."
To say it so bluntly is quite unkind. But... this is a reality that everyone has to accept.
After hearing this, Miles laughed a few times and said, "Thank you, that sounds really exciting."
"This sword is useless, but it doesn't mean that other things are useless." Benjamin sighed and said, "Although I don't know the principles behind the formation of your physique, but as long as you don't give up, there will always be hope. .”
Miles shook his head and said no more.
The atmosphere fell into silence, and Benjamin could only walk over, pat the other party's shoulder, and say nothing more. After all, they were now in the Valley of God's Abandonment, not a tavern where they could chat casually.
After leaving here, maybe you can go to the old man in the college who is good at pharmacy to see if he can find any way to cure Miles. For now, he should focus on the present.
From other corpses, Benjamin found a total of four parchment scrolls, which recorded different contents about runes. He put these things away, turned around and walked back again, patting Miles on the shoulder.
"... Let's get out of here first."
Miles doesn't look so depressed now, and he can even show the same careless smile as before. But Benjamin no longer dared to talk nonsense, for fear of irritating the other party again, so he could only say this.
"Let's go." Miles nodded.
They looked around, found a fork in the road, and hurriedly left the basin.
Benjamin also took out the ginkgo leaf.
The Valley of God's Abandonment has become an independent space, and there is no obvious exit. If they want to return to the original world, they must rely on this withered yellow leaf.
"How's it going? Have you detected any weak points in the space?" Benjamin asked in his mind as he searched all the way.
"When did I say that I have this kind of function?" the system said impatiently, "I need you to take this leaf and look for it slowly. I'm sorry, my function is limited and I cannot rise to such a high level."
“…”
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
This is looking for a needle in a haystack!
According to his conjecture, something must have happened in the Valley of God's Abandonment after the brothers' decisive battle, causing the entire valley to separate from the original world and become an independent broken space. And such a broken space will definitely have a breaking edge.
As long as they walked all the way to the outermost part of the valley, they should be able to reach the end and then use the ginkgo leaves to leave.
Of course, all this is really Benjamin’s conjecture. It was difficult for him to come up with a definite answer as to what was going on in this independent space.
Give it a try first.
After about two hours of driving in the valley, we followed the map and explored the edge. But what he didn't expect was that they encountered another group of people on the road.
"How big is the Valley of the Abandoned Gods? Why have we walked for so long and still haven't found the Bishop's team? Where were they teleported to?"
Hiding in a narrow alley, Benjamin vaguely heard such a sound coming from next door.
Suddenly, something moved in his heart.
Through induction, he could see two people appearing on the road next door. Wearing black robes and holding a cross in their hands, they were walking forward carefully while talking to each other. They were obviously priests sent by the church.
... There were only two people, and they got separated from the large group
Benjamin wanted to take action at that time and get rid of this group of people. But then, the faint conversation in the distance made him stop drawing the runes with his right hand.
"Can we really find the Holy Sword here?"
"I don't know. This is an order from above. But the Holy Sword is a treasure given to us by God. Just losing it is already a great sin. We must get it back."
"But I heard that not all priests agree with the search for the Holy Sword."
"Wait... you don't mean..."
"Of course it is him. Apart from him, who else in the entire church can go against the wishes of the bishop? He has inherited the power of the Holy Light left by several popes. I have heard some rumors recently. I am afraid that he... wants to be... The Pope.”
"How is that possible? The Pope is still in retreat. How can there be any reason to establish a new Pope now?"
"The Pope said he was in retreat, but... it's been so long, haven't you heard the rumors? It is said that he was the one who spread the rumors. Many people have already turned to him. Soon, the church will probably change. Oh my god."
"The sky will change? It won't happen, right? He is a student trained by the bishop himself. If he takes the throne, the bishop will still sit on the high platform. How can the sky change?"
"No, Father Hans, your ideas are too naive. On the matter of supporting the Pope, you have to stand with me..."
In this way, the two priests gradually walked through the valley while communicating in low voices. Benjamin and Miles squatted in the side road next door, and they still didn't take action until the priest walked a few hundred meters away.
"Is this... going to establish a new pope?"
Benjamin muttered.
He certainly knew who the candidate for the new pope was, and who the two priests had been talking about but did not name. But he didn't expect that Grant would reach this point so quickly.
Moreover, the internal strife within the church was greater than he imagined.
If the previous pope had not died, the situation would definitely not have turned out like this, but... was the previous pope really dead? Benjamin was still a little stunned. Although the Pope was older, he and the Pope looked at each other during the burning, and he didn't feel like a dying old man.
What happened in the middle
After thinking for a while, Benjamin shook his head.
Even these priests don't know the inside story, so it's probably difficult for me to understand.
Regardless, infighting in the church is definitely a good thing for them. After leaving the Valley of the Gods Abandoned, he can continue to cause chaos in the Kingdom of Hori, and when the Queen's birthday comes, he can liberate the Mage Guild.
In this process, the church should not be able to spare much power to deal with them.
Even...if anything happens to the church due to the Pope's succession, Benjamin can take advantage of the opportunity and start a plan to eradicate the church in advance.
Thinking of this, Benjamin felt that their prospects suddenly became much brighter. The church is not an iron barrel, it also has its own cracks within it, and the so-called overturning of the church is not some wild talk that will make people laugh.
They really... have fun.
