In a special cell on the church ship.
"This thing... is very strange. It can actually interfere with the release of our mental power. Even if the elders come, I'm afraid they won't be able to use telekinesis here."
The young man stretched out his hand and slowly touched the special silver railing that locked them up, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Stop talking, be careful. The walls have ears." Benjamin, who was locked in the next room, immediately spoke and warned in a low voice. Upon hearing this, the boy and girl quickly withdrew their curious gazes, huddled in the corner of the cell, and settled down obediently.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded.
He also retreated into the corner and said nothing, but couldn't help but rub his face covered in oil paint. In order to pretend to be a young man from an overseas sect, he spent a lot of effort to prevent the priests from recognizing him.
But... now that the first step of the plan has been successfully completed, it is worth the discomfort on his face.
Half an hour ago, after those dozen giant octopuses attacked the fleet together, Benjamin suddenly felt something was not good - if all the church members were suddenly wiped out here, who would deal with the overseas sects? Your own plan to make a profit may also come to nothing.
Fortunately, after a brief period of confusion, the two siblings suddenly noticed something was wrong with those giant octopus beasts.
"No... not a sea king, just an ordinary thousand-legged sea beast." At that time, the young man frowned and said, "Moreover, I can feel the breath of telekinesis from inside their bodies, as if someone ordered them to appear here."
At that moment, Benjamin immediately realized something was wrong.
"Overseas sects control them to intercept and kill churches?"
However, the girl shook her head and said: "I don't think so. The telekinesis on them... is not enough to completely control their behavior, but it is like some kind of madness. Thousand-legged sea beasts rarely act in groups, and they don't They like to run out of the deep sea. Maybe someone deliberately cast a spell and made them crazy, so they suddenly appeared and attacked the passing fleet."
After Benjamin heard this, he thought for a moment and finally figured out why the overseas sect did this.
Those people... maybe felt a little guilty after attacking the church, so they cast random spells in the nearby sea area to make the area very dangerous to prevent the church from coming to take revenge on them.
Also quite cowardly.
However, Benjamin felt a lot more relieved after discovering the problem. After confirming with the two siblings that they could eliminate this madness, he touched his chin, and a plan to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger gradually took shape in his mind.
—Instead of letting the church run into obstacles everywhere in this sea, why not directly tell them the location of overseas sects
In this way, they quickly disguised themselves and asked the two siblings to use telekinesis to control a passing turtle-shaped monster, finally pretending to be patrollers of an overseas sect. Anyway, the church knows very little about overseas sects, so no matter how they act, there is no chance that the secret will be revealed.
Then, everything developed just as Benjamin planned. After the madness technique was lifted, the giant octopuses suddenly fell into a weak state and dived back into the deep sea one after another. The three disguised Benjamins also appeared on stage and successfully deceived the eyes of the church. They pretended to have fallen into the trap and were "closed" by them. stand up.
Recalling the bishop's expression just now, Benjamin couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
He may still feel proud of having deceived him into a position in an overseas sect, but he didn't expect that the series of warnings, greed, deception, and fear made by the three people... were actually just staged for him. And like now, the special cell that disturbed Benjamin's mental power that the bishop put him in had no effect on Benjamin at all.
—Benjamin could easily escape if he wanted to.
But of course he won't go out. He stayed in the cell well, and he didn't even have to expend the mental energy to fly with others. What was he doing out there
The fun will really begin when the fleet docks.
Just like that, the three of them huddled quietly in the corner of the cell without saying a word. After that, people from the church came over several times and asked them about the situation of overseas sects, but they only gave vague answers without revealing any flaws.
About three days later.
"… arrive."
Benjamin closed his eyes and used the water element to sense the scene outside. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes at this moment and said silently in his heart.
The overseas sect is located in a small archipelago with an overall area of no more than one hundred square kilometers. No one knows why islands appear on this bare sea, and no one knows why these islands can give birth to completely different civilizations. It is said that the people on the island escaped from the land many years ago, but more relevant records have long been lost in the long river of history and cannot be verified.
The fleet docked at a remote shoal. Using the route provided by Benjamin, they did not disturb anyone from overseas sects along the way. They quietly dropped the anchor, and the priests flew off the ship one after another and landed on the island.
Standing on the beach, they looked into the distance and could see the dense jungle on the island and the slowly rising smoke in the distance. In the early morning, the entire island was still very quiet, which gave them the opportunity to slowly approach the settlement.
"Let's go, be quiet. We must deal with the altar on the island as much as possible before being discovered by those pagans." The bishop turned his head and ordered.
Benjamin relayed the general topography and living conditions of the island to the bishop. Therefore, the bishop seemed confident at this moment, as if he had already planned the entire plan to destroy the place.
Everyone in the church nodded after hearing this, and then took steps cautiously.
Soon, the team of hundreds of people disappeared from the sight of the crew.
"... Well, tell me, what is there on this island that can make so many adults from the church rush over? I always feel that it is a bit bad for us to continue to stay here."
Seeing them walking away, the crew finally couldn't help but start whispering.
"Who knows? Do you remember that group of monsters a few days ago? When I think about it now, my legs are still shaking."
"Yeah, why are we so unlucky to be drafted..."
However, they had just said a few words when a dry coughing sound came from behind them, like a song in the middle of the night, which scared them to the point of trembling.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what are you talking about! Pay attention to your words and deeds!"
Several crew members turned around, and the few paladins who were left on the ship were standing there, glaring at them with evil eyes.
Immediately, they quickly lowered their heads with a flattering look.
"No, no, no... Sir Knight, you have misunderstood. We are worried about the priests and pray in our hearts, hoping that they can return safely..."
"Hmph! Do you think we are deaf? Everyone, please be honest, otherwise, such a big ship can still be driven without a few of you."
The crew members were stunned for a while after being scolded, but they did not dare to refute, they only dared to lower their heads and accept the punishment obediently. But just as the paladin was getting ready to train, an unexpected voice came over everyone's heads, interrupting the eloquent paladin.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Such a big ship can still be driven without a few of you Paladins."
Everyone was stunned.
This, this is...
They subconsciously raised their heads and looked upward.
I saw that the three "foreigners" who had just been put into the cell by the bishop a few days ago were now floating steadily above everyone's heads. The leader showed a careless smile and looked at the paladins with a hint of contempt.
Several paladins stood stunned on the spot.
