Benjamin knew very well that young people like this, especially those who have lived in a closed environment since childhood and have not been exposed to other ideas, are completely different from the priests of the church.
Since the confrontation with the mage, the church's theological theory has developed to a very mature stage. It can be said about anything, and it is difficult to completely defeat a priest verbally. But a small sect like this definitely does not have such a complete theoretical system.
In other words, it was possible for Benjamin to mentally break these two men.
Growing up in a purely religious environment, the two men were not firm in their religious beliefs. They are just influenced by the social environment. They believe and worship together with their parents. Their faith seems to be very pure, but it is also very easy to be shaken. Once they receive more external impacts, they will be easily defeated.
Just like now... Benjamin can't read minds, but looking at the eyes of these two people, you can tell that there are already cracks in their beliefs.
Therefore, he pursued the victory.
"Have you ever thought about where the earth, humans, oceans, spiritual power... these things come from?" Benjamin said slowly, "The gods created everything, but humans tens of millions of years ago didn't know how to explain it. I am also afraid of the unknown, so I make up lies to fool myself.”
"No, no, the goddess... really exists..."
"You keep saying that she exists, where is the evidence?" Benjamin snorted and said, "Have you seen her true form? Have you heard her talking to you? When you were in crisis, she reached out to you. A helping hand?"
"I… "
The two of them opened their mouths, but nothing came out.
Seeing this, Benjamin knew it was time to use his trump card. So, he said to the system in his mind: "Okay, let's release what you just imitated."
The system should be, and then, an extremely weak fluctuation of mental power slowly spread out from Benjamin.
When the two of them sensed this, they were stunned again.
"This is… "
"Your mental power has a special structure. You probably use the goddess's gift to explain it. However, after some research, I adjusted the mental power structure and imitated it easily."
After hearing this, the two men shook their heads involuntarily, with expressions of despair and even confusion on their faces.
"impossible… "
"The facts are right in front of you, why is it impossible? Those are all lies to you."
"No... the elder will not lie to me... my parents are not dead, and the heroic spirits enjoy eternal peace in the deep sea. They... they are all great people..." The girl seemed to have collapsed and murmured to herself.
Suddenly, the young man spoke and interrupted him on the side.
"… no."
The girl turned her head in surprise.
"My parents... did not die fighting sea beasts to defend their homeland." The young man lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "After the funeral that day, I hid in the cave and accidentally heard the elders and others saying... They said that my parents were executed by them because they offended the goddess... "
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Ha... this is really God's will.
Under a complete theocratic rule, all kinds of power and injustice will inevitably breed, but like now, the child burdened with injustice happened to come to him. Benjamin was indeed very lucky this time.
The secret method of overseas sects is destined to be in his hands.
"How could it be? Why didn't you tell me?" The girl was stunned for a long time, then suddenly her eyes widened and she shouted excitedly.
"I... I dare not say it." The young man's voice was still trembling, "If you knew, you would definitely go to the elders. I don't want you to be accused of offending the goddess and die silently. …”
The girl froze on the spot, unable to say a word.
Looking at the excited two people, Benjamin shook his head and spoke slowly.
"Don't you understand yet? The so-called goddess is just a lie used by those people to squeeze you. Why do you still work for them?"
The girl remained motionless, stunned there, as if she couldn't hear anything. The young man lowered his head, as silent as a sculpture.
Seeing this, Benjamin touched his chin.
They may have to give these two some time before they turn the corner and completely betray their beliefs and be willing to tell it all.
It's easy to use force to make them talk, but... how can it be compared to the other party voluntarily confessing and sincerely passing on this completely different magic system here
However, at this moment, the girl's body suddenly began to tremble violently. Her eyes were red, she murmured in pain, and large blue blood vessels suddenly appeared on her skin, and her appearance became extremely terrifying at that moment.
"Sister...sister, what's wrong with you? I..." The young man was startled and asked quickly. But when he was halfway through asking, he started to tremble, and his whole body fell into the same state as the girl.
Benjamin also frowned in surprise.
what's the situation
Are there any side effects from those previous medicines? But...he had obviously eliminated the fatal side effects with therapeutic water balloons.
"There is another kind of medicine in their bodies." The system suddenly said, "Some strange ingredients are now gathered in their brains, eating up their neurons bit by bit. And their brains... I don't know why, There seems to be a feeling of being overloaded, which is completely irresistible.”
Benjamin thought for a while, then immediately spoke in reality, and asked loudly to the two of them: "Did you drink any medicine before you came in here? Tell me quickly! Otherwise you will die!"
"We...we drank the elixir given to us by the elders..."
Benjamin was stunned.
It turned out to be two abandoned children specially sent here. I didn’t expect that intrigues would be so serious in overseas islands.
what to do
Benjamin could only quickly draw the runes and perform elemental command and healing.
Give it a try, no matter what medicine they drink, it affects the body's organs and then affects their mental power. Magical treatment at least has an incredible healing effect on the human body.
Along with the falling rain, the two people's murmur suddenly became louder. They struggled painfully on their chairs, and their hysterical roars were even more shocking than being tortured.
"This is..." Benjamin was stunned.
"No need to stop, your magic has activated their perception." The system said, "The medicine is devouring their brains, but the life force in the magic gives them the ability to resist. They are fighting against that medicine."
"Then... they won't die, right?"
If these two people died, Benjamin really didn't know how to remove the mental fragments from the king's brain.
"I don't know. It depends on how powerful that potion is." The system replied helplessly.
