When A Mage Revolts

Chapter 704: failed action

Views:

Under the dark night sky, Benjamin flew in the direction of the Kingdom of Hori.

Ever since he knew what the Foer family's trump card was, he had always had a bad feeling in his heart. To be honest, he didn't know whether this trick would work on Grant, but... if something went wrong, it might lead to a very bad situation.

Besides, this method of replacing an old lover is really a bit dirty.

However, despite what he thought, he had no intention of stopping the Foer family. Therefore, he could only sit back and wait for the final result of this plan.

However, a few days later, the Foer family sent him a secret letter again.

"The plan went well, except for a small accident. The priest who was originally responsible for adding poison to Grant's diet was exposed and had to commit suicide to save others, so we made some changes to the plan. Currently, the killer is very Effective, in five days, Grant will be led to the mountains north of the royal capital, where we are ready to directly kill the Son of Sin."

"In order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, we need your help. If possible, please rush to the agreed location marked in the letter as soon as possible. We need your strong strength as a guarantee."

At that time, after reading this letter, Benjamin's mood was quite subtle.

The undercover priests were exposed, but the Foer family actually planned to carry out the plan, and in the end chose such a tough and brutal method to kill Grant directly - this is a bit too stubborn, right

Benjamin was not optimistic at all. He felt that if he continued to work hard like this, something might happen.

But it is obvious that when the Foer family has reached this point, it is basically difficult to turn back. Those businessmen and priests who were gathered together by them... If he did not proceed with the plan, he would not be able to give an explanation to these people, and his own situation would become very dangerous.

As time goes by, clues will be revealed. When Grant suspects the Foer family, their fate will definitely be much worse than that of the Reese family.

Therefore, they can only give it a try.

Benjamin could understand what they were doing, but the risks were too great and he didn't really want to get involved. However, in order to please him, the Foer family also attached a condition at the end of the secret letter that was difficult to refuse.

"After the Silent Academy was eradicated, there were only a few sporadic groups of mages left in the kingdom. Their contact methods were so secret that even the church could not investigate them. If you are willing to come and help us, we will send these to you. I’ll tell you the contact information of nearly a thousand mages in total.”

After reading this, Benjamin squinted his eyes, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to Horli Kingdom.

The local mage organization in the kingdom is indeed a group of beings that must be won over. I think that in the beginning, he was able to set off an upsurge against the church in Freden, and he also relied on the abilities of many local mages. It would be very important to them if they could get in touch with these thousand people.

As for the allies of the Foer family... to be honest, it is necessary for them to exist before the church is completely eradicated.

Benjamin went there this time, thinking that if they failed, he might be able to save people and not let this hard-won ally die too miserably.

In any case, he was curious about what kind of strength Grant had achieved. And this trip to the appointment might be able to answer the questions in his mind.

After all kinds of considerations, he finally decided to set off.

The distance from the academy to the agreed place is very long, and even if Benjamin flies, it will take him three or four days. He could only set off in a hurry, and he had to get to the place before things started.

Three days later.

"There shouldn't be anything weird here, right?" Landing near a remote mountain village, Benjamin disguised himself, walked into the village, and arrived at the agreed-upon hotel.

"No abnormalities have been found so far." The system said impatiently, "Why are you so suspicious? It's not like you can't see it yourself. How can you scan it with the induction method?"

"But occasionally there are things that can trick the elements, so it doesn't hurt to be careful."

Benjamin shook his head and said in his heart as he walked into the room agreed in the letter. He also sensed it before pushing the door open. Dick was rubbing his hands and walking around nervously inside.

So, he said hello first.

"We met again, how was it? Did the plan go smoothly?"

Dick was shocked, as if he were startled by the sudden sound of thunder on a rainy day. However, when he looked up and saw Benjamin, he looked relieved.

"You... you're finally here."

Benjamin nodded.

He felt that Dick's expression seemed a little too nervous. However, the other party's psychological quality was already poor. In this case, it was not surprising to be a little nervous, so he didn't think much about it.

"How are things going?" he asked.

Dick took a deep breath and did not answer the question, but said: "... Come with me, I will take you there right away."

Benjamin said nothing and nodded.

Time was indeed a bit tight, so he followed Dick and quickly left the hotel and rushed out of the village. The mountain village is hundreds of kilometers away from Havenright. It would take at least several hours for them to fly there, so naturally they couldn't waste time.

However, after leaving the village, the direction Dick chose seemed a bit strange.

"Hey... where are you going? That's not Havenright over there." Benjamin frowned, "Come here, I'll use magic to fly you there. It can save a lot of time."

When Dick heard this, he turned around without saying a word, showing a strange and guilty look.

At that moment, Benjamin also began to feel that something was wrong.

"you… "

Just when he was about to ask something, his expression suddenly changed. In the sky about a few hundred meters away, the water element gave him bad news - a group of people were flying towards this side.

The picture appeared in my mind...it was the priest.

Not only that, but on the ground in the same direction, many cleaning men on horseback also emerged from the horizon. Under the dim moonlight, those figures were like tidal waves, rushing towards them quickly.

Suddenly, Benjamin stared at Dick with surprised and suspicious eyes.

"Tell me what happened."

The water element realm was opened, and he floated in mid-air, with sharp ice blades emerging and surrounding him. A shuddering coldness slowly emerged from his eyes.

Dick also raised his head and looked at him tremblingly.

"me… "

"You betrayed us?" Benjamin asked coldly.

Dick was too nervous to speak, but he still shook his head vigorously, and occasionally glanced at the large group of Cleaners emerging to the west, looking desperate and frightened.

"Then you're talking! What happened?" The bad premonition in Benjamin's heart became more intense, and he immediately raised his voice and asked sharply.

Dick was shaken by fright, but he seemed to be more awake, and said in a trembling voice: "My... plan was exposed. My father is dead, they are all dead... The Foer family... is also dead."
