Benjamin was a little surprised.
No way? He had just checked an article using the induction method and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it before he was ready to drink it. Besides, the method of poisoning wine is too direct.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Spencer was so close that it was not convenient for him to ask the system directly in his mind, nor did he intend to break up with him directly. Therefore, he chose to hand the drink back.
"Forget it... adults, let's drink. Alcohol is not good for your mental strength. The dean has already banned us mages from drinking anymore. Although I want to enjoy it, it's really not allowed."
Spencer heard this and nodded: "That's it."
He took the wine glass, looked at Benjamin with a smile, and drank it in one gulp without hesitation. However, after drinking a whole glass of wine, he didn't look abnormal, except that his cheeks were a little red.
Seeing this, Benjamin smiled calmly.
"Can you tell me where the toilet is? Sorry, I have to excuse you first."
Spencer pointed in a direction, and Benjamin turned and left. And the moment he turned around, he showed a helpless look and questioned the system in his heart.
"…What are you doing?"
"There is indeed something strange in that wine." The system said lazily, "Of course, it's not the poison you think it is, but in addition to the natural ingredients such as alcohol, there is also a very weak spiritual power in that glass."
Benjamin was puzzled and asked: "Can spiritual power still be preserved in ordinary drinks?"
"It's definitely impossible under normal circumstances, that's why I said this wine is weird."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
In any case, it was a good thing that the reminder given to him by the system prevented him from drinking that weird glass of wine. But now, he has no idea what the banquet is about. What is certain is that the enemy he is facing now has some methods that he has never seen before.
Potion? curse? Or is it a new invention of the church? There are indeed many weird things in this world. Thinking about it, Benjamin felt a little guilty.
what to do
After much thought, he felt that he still had to go to the king. The senior consultant always had a smile on his face, and Benjamin could not find any flaws in him.
Weaving around among the crowd, he quietly left the main hall of the banquet and came to the garden of the palace. The garden was also part of the banquet venue. A dozen dancers were jumping up and down on the stage in the middle, and there were also a circle of lustful guys surrounding it.
And the figure of the king was also prominently in the first row.
"Your Majesty, after finally returning to the throne, it is not a good thing to indulge in pleasure like before." Benjamin slowly came to the king and whispered.
Hearing this, the king turned his head and laughed a few times: "What's wrong? Sir Messenger, since it's a banquet, of course you have to relax! Look at that girl over there..."
Benjamin sighed helplessly.
Whether looking at the system's analysis or with his own eyes, this man is indeed a king. However, he could also feel that this king was different from before, as if he had taken the wrong medicine and was high.
… etc.
Benjamin suddenly thought of the wine Spencer had just handed him.
Although it is not a poison, perhaps the spiritual power in the wine can have some influence on people, causing a drastic change in temperament, or a certain point in the character being suddenly amplified. At least, this explanation can be used to explain the strange behavior of the king in front of him.
Because of this, Spencer could drink it without any scruples, and the guy was probably already in trouble.
"Sir Messenger, are you satisfied with the performance in the garden?"
Just as Benjamin was thinking about what to do next, suddenly, a faint voice floated over from behind him, almost shocking him into a cold sweat.
He turned around and saw Spencer appearing behind him again at some point.
"You..." Benjamin was about to say something. However, he suddenly realized that the people around him did not react at all to Spencer's appearance. Even the king, who was quite close to them, was staring at the dancer on the stage intently at this moment, as if his senior adviser had not come at all.
It's like... these people and myself are in two completely different worlds. That world was full of color, and the bustle and bustle continued. But on Benjamin's side, only he and the elusive Spencer were left, and the two of them turned into black and white in the picture.
Weird.
At that moment, Benjamin suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
"Who are you? Did the church send you here?" Therefore, he couldn't care less and spoke directly. And just as he expected, the king next to him didn't hear him at all.
Only Spencer responded.
"Which church?"
Benjamin shook his head and said coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid here. You have tampered with the entire Glory. Do you think I can't find out?"
After hearing this, Spencer nodded thoughtfully and said, "Although you won't say it, I guess that the church you are talking about should be the Holy Light Church in the west of the earth?"
"if not?"
"Okay, that's it. I have to introduce myself again." The other party smiled and said, "I come from the distant Southern Islands, and I am a priest who serves the goddess. Master Benjamin, it is an honor to meet you. "
When he first heard this, Benjamin was a little stunned.
…Southern Islands
Since he entered this world, he has never heard of similar place names.
He already knew the topography of this continent - no matter which direction you looked at, going south, you would see an endless ocean. Natural disasters are rampant at sea, and monsters are infested. People here rarely try to go deep into the ocean. No one knows what is there.
Therefore, Benjamin could not help but feel very surprised by a guy who claimed to be from the Southern Islands.
"... Did you come from the sea?"
He took a few steps back, alert, and asked.
"You can think so." Spencer said with a smile, "Master Benjamin, you don't have to be surprised. We have been migrating to the land since hundreds of years ago. The living conditions at sea are harsh, and we have to leave our homes. Facts Go up, if you have ever noticed, in some fishing villages near the sea, we have already spread the glory of the goddess."
However, his words did not make Benjamin relax his vigilance, but directly opened the water element field. Countless ice crystals surround him, ready to attack at any time.
"Another guy who wants to preach." Benjamin stared at the other person and said coldly, "Get out of Carites. The church has already ruined this place enough, and it's not your turn to intervene."
