Finally, in a remote town, Benjamin escaped with the two mages, and it was confirmed that they had escaped the pursuers and were completely safe.
"This is it." The tall mage whispered, "This is the meeting place we agreed with Elizabeth."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly and said, "So... this whole plan was created by your mage mercenary group and Miles?"
He was not surprised that Elizabeth would appear here. These people are all in the same group. If they can come up with such a rescue plan, many people must have participated.
It's just... He really didn't expect that these people would come to save him.
How did these people meet
It felt like... He originally thought he was a person from two different worlds and would never know him, but when he turned around, he found that this person had liked that person's circle of friends.
After disguising themselves, they walked into the town and soon arrived at the meeting point. On the second floor of the dilapidated hotel, Benjamin pushed open the room and saw Elizabeth and Miles waiting in the room. Miles was leaning against the window in a daze, while Elizabeth was sitting in a chair meditating.
As soon as the three of them entered the room, they turned their heads, opened their eyes, and looked over together.
"You guys are so slow. I've been waiting here for more than four hours." Miles shrugged and complained casually.
Benjamin shook his head.
In order to avoid being searched by the church, they tried to reduce the frequency of magic use. They often relied on carriages to travel, and of course they couldn't get up quickly.
However, seeing that this guy saved him once, he didn't say anything.
"When did you meet? Also, how did you know that I would be surrounded by the church?" Benjamin asked the doubts that had always existed in his heart.
"We... have known each other for a long time." Elizabeth and Miles exchanged a look and said, "His father is a knight and has always served our family. We have met many times when we were children. "
Miles added on the side: "I told you before, you won't forget it, right?"
“…”
After being reminded like this, Benjamin remembered that Miles had actually told him about this when he met Miles in a cemetery.
"In addition, about why we came to rescue you." Miles continued, "When you were discussing things with the leaders of several other countries, I overheard your plan. At that time, I felt that it might be possible Something might happen, so I ran to discuss it with the lady.”
Elizabeth nodded and said: "After we found out, a few people smuggled into the Kingdom of Hori. If the church sets a trap, like now, we can help you rescue it."
“…”
In fact, it stands to reason that Benjamin should be quite moved now. But... Miles eavesdropped on their most confidential military meeting and said it so openly, which really left him speechless.
To be honest, if Miles was willing to take action, Benjamin would not have to rob the food team himself, and he would not be in the dilemma of being surrounded by the church's army.
These people are really...
Moreover, it now seems that Miles has been missing during this period and is most likely mixed up with Elizabeth's mage mercenary group.
"How did you get into the kingdom?" In the end, Benjamin was too lazy to care about those things anymore and asked instead.
The blockade of Horli Kingdom has obviously become more and more strict. Elizabeth and several mages were stuck before, but now they can come and go freely? Is it so powerful
"Mr. Wood helped us sneak in through the gate." Miles explained, "After Miss went abroad, she spent some time and finally got in touch with the Wood family. The situation here is constantly changing. After several nobles died one after another, the Wood family gained the trust of the church and took the opportunity to absorb the properties of many other families, becoming one of the most powerful families in the kingdom."
Hearing this, Benjamin looked a little surprised.
The Wood family?…
To be honest, since the fall of the Foer family, Benjamin thought that the nobles of the Horli Kingdom were dead. But he didn't expect that this kind of family that usually kept a low profile seemed to quietly take the lead.
"It's nothing, it's just some connections my parents made at the church." Elizabeth seemed a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "But... it's a bit troublesome. Now that the situation has become like this, if we want to sneak out through the gate again, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It’s not that easy anymore.”
"Are we going to be trapped here again?" Suddenly, the short mage showed an uneasy look.
"Of course not." Benjamin smiled and said, "You are here to save me. Of course I have to take you out of here safe and sound."
"Do you have any idea?"
Benjamin nodded without hesitation.
"That's good..." Elizabeth nodded, and then said with a look of regret, "But in this case, we seem to be even again. Originally, I planned to use the kindness of saving you from the encirclement this time to exchange it from you. Order something.”
"What do you want to change?" Benjamin frowned.
"The Law of Rune Meditation."
Benjamin was stunned.
After rummaging through his backpack, he finally pulled out a pamphlet and threw it to Elizabeth. The branch has not officially opened yet, and the rules of rune meditation are indeed the secrets of the magic academy, which are very precious to outside mages like them.
However, to Benjamin, this was just a roll of scratch paper that could be printed with two copper coins.
"Actually, you can just write to the college directly. There is no need to go through so much trouble." He said casually, "These things are really nothing. They are all piled up there. I can even send you a big box."
"Thank you." Elizabeth held the booklet in her hand and nodded gratefully.
Benjamin scratched his head.
In fact, with their current friendship, he could definitely ask Elizabeth and the others to join the magic academy. And following that, Miles will definitely join the academy and become a big help to them.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of the “break-off” of the engagement, but the two of them are always a little embarrassed now. Elizabeth also seems to be more willing to work alone, and she feels reluctant to owe Benjamin anything.
In this way, in the end, Benjamin did not say the invitation out loud, and changed the subject in the name of haha. After resting for a while, they quickly set off from this small town, bypassing the church's raids on the road, and left the Hori Kingdom's border from the "Scaife Mountains".
When they saw the world of ghosts and the undead under the abyss, several people also showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
"They may not be able to swallow my life force. I want to go out and give it a try."
Under the abyss, looking at the ghosts floating around, Miles stood in a big box and suddenly stuck his head out and said this.
—The big box was held by a soundproof ice ball, separated by a certain distance. Only in this way can Benjamin's magic be able to hold Miles.
"No." Benjamin refused without hesitation.
Miles thought for a moment and then said: "I think... I think the curse planted by the 'Abyss Trial' has something to do with this place. I really should go out and give it a try."
