"W-Who is it?"
At that moment, the two turned around in panic. The young man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and the wire in his hand broke directly in the door lock.
However, the only thing they could see was the water gushing towards them. In such a short period of time, they could not react at all. They were instantly submerged by the water splash summoned by Benjamin, and suddenly lost their balance.
"Well… "
The girl struggled, trying to use her mental power to resist the impact of the water flow. However, soon, the water flow turned into sky-high waves, almost covering the entire palace corridor, and hit them head-on!
With the turbulent excitement of the water, the two of them bumped back and forth between the wall and the ground several times. Eventually, they fell to the wet ground, bruised and unconscious.
Benjamin also slowly stood up from the wall.
"It's okay, Your Majesty." He dispersed the water and shouted into the room, "I have subdued both of them."
After a while, the king gingerly opened the door and walked out.
"Are you really okay?" He glanced at the two siblings who were almost washed away by the water, and shook his head, "What kind of ghost sect can even send such a young child out as an assassin."
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate them. Their strength seems to be no weaker than Spencer's."
When the king heard this, he was frightened again and hurriedly hid in the room, fearing that the two people would still have some consciousness left. When Benjamin saw this, he shook his head, swept the two siblings with water steam, and took them to a remote room in the palace.
He was going to interrogate these two people.
However, the situation when interrogating people from overseas sects is different from interrogating ordinary mages.
Although he easily subdued the two men, that was because he had the perfect timing for a sneak attack and the other party had no chance to resist. But once the interrogation begins, these people do not need to recite spells to cast spells, and their movements are also very hidden. It may be difficult for Benjamin to restrain them for a long time.
"Is there any way to block their spell-casting ability?" Therefore, he did not rush to wake them up, but asked in his heart.
"It's difficult." The system said slowly, "The existing methods of banning magic are all about blocking elements and rarely interfering with other people's mental power. However, you can try using magic potions."
"Potion?"
"I remember it was recorded in "Introduction to Potions" that a side effect of failed mental potions is that they can significantly reduce the mental power of others. You can feed them a few more bottles, and they should be able to use any method in a short time. Can’t use it anymore.”
“…”
Is there such an operation
Benjamin looked at the two siblings again, and after much deliberation, he felt that there was no other way but to do this. Of course, no one would carry around a potion that failed to be refined, but... he could make it on the spot.
It was a failure anyway, and it was just right for a layman like him to do it.
So, he asked the servants in the palace to buy him some materials, and it took Benjamin about half an hour to come up with the finished product. During this period, the two of them woke up several times and were knocked unconscious by several water bombs from Benjamin, without any accidents.
Finally, he forced the two of them to take the black failure potion, and Benjamin used healing water balloons to alleviate the side effects of the potion, preventing them from dying directly. A few minutes later, the two slowly woke up.
"This...where is this?"
The boy opened his eyes first, but found himself in a dark room, with pain all over his body. What's even more frightening is that he has an inexplicable feeling of exhaustion, his mind is empty, and it seems that even thinking has become a little difficult.
In front of him, the personal guard who was sleeping on the side at the time was looking down at them with a devilish smile.
At that time, the young man shivered involuntarily.
"It's really hard work..." Benjamin looked at them, shook his head, and said, "Okay, now that you have been arrested, tell the secrets of your sect honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"You, you are..."
The girl also woke up. She looked at Benjamin doubtfully and stayed for a while, then suddenly she was excited and showed a horrified look in her eyes.
"I'm Master Benjamin. You should have heard of my name." Benjamin tilted his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, your priest was accidentally killed by me before, but don't worry, this time, I'm sure I won’t miss it again.”
Suddenly, the two of them stood still.
How, how could this happen...
The girl came to her senses and began to struggle desperately. However, they were tightly tied with ropes and tried to cast spells, but they felt pain like needles in their brains and couldn't cast anything. They couldn't help but become even more panicked.
"What did you do to us?"
"Poison." Benjamin said coldly, "Don't even think about using that weird spell. Your current mental power is weaker than ordinary people."
"What? How come there is such a medicine..."
The two of them showed desperate expressions again.
"Have you shouted enough? If so, tell me how to get rid of the mental power in the king's mind." Benjamin waved his hand, and dozens of tiny ice needles emerged in the air, "Otherwise, have you seen these needles? I will let you have a good lesson in the mage’s methods.”
Both froze at that moment.
Their faces were pale and they were shaking... It was obvious that at their age, they had never seen such a battle. However, perhaps it was the faith in their hearts that kept them from giving in.
"You...you kill us! The goddess is above, she will avenge us!"
"Really?" Benjamin snorted coldly, "It's interesting. If your goddess is really so omnipotent, why did you fall into my hands?"
"That's because... That's because the goddess has other plans for all this!" The girl gritted her teeth and said, "She guided us here, and it was she who gave us the power to transcend nature..."
Benjamin interrupted her and said casually: "She didn't lead you here, it was me who led you here. I deliberately relaxed the security of the palace, and the power you have, I can just give you a bottle of medicine Just take it away.”
"You... you are not allowed to slander the goddess! It is the goddess who created the world, created everything here, and also gave us spiritual power to protect ourselves! You have no right to say such things!"
"Really? But why do I, a pagan, also have the spiritual power given by the goddess?" Benjamin sneered and shook his head, "Is it the goddess's fault, or is all this just a lie made up by others to deceive you?"
"You...you're talking nonsense..."
Obviously, these two people are not like those priests who have experienced many battles. Although they also have faith, their will is far less firm. Benjamin only said a few words, and they didn't know how to resist.
"Have you ever thought about it, you are so devout to the goddess, but you can only stay on the island in the sea, enduring shipwrecks and attacks by monsters all day long, and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to move ashore. And people like us have no faith in our hearts. A guy like this can sit on a vast continent and fertile soil and live a life without worries about food and clothing?"
"This... the goddess has her own plans."
"But she has never arranged anything good for you." Benjamin shook his head and said in a pitiful tone, "If that's the case, why do you still believe her?"
At that moment, he saw shake on the faces of the two men.
