After running out of the village, the guard captain began to realize something was wrong about two minutes later.
"Wait, you... I don't think I've seen you before. Are you from our village? Or from the island next door?" He asked subconsciously while running behind.
However, what they didn't realize was that the surrounding temperature had begun to drop unconsciously...
At the same time, the boy who was beaten until he could not move, and the girl who was in despair, seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and a trace of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
This, this is...
The guard who reported the news suddenly stopped. The back of the uniformed leader in front of them suddenly seemed very strange to the eyes of the guards. A strange feeling emerged from their hearts, but when they realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Huh... In a daze, it seemed like a cold wind was blowing.
Then, no one saw clearly what happened, and several lifelike ice sculptures appeared in the forest. Except for the two siblings, everyone present was spared.
The girl cried at that moment.
"Ben, Master Benjamin... you are finally here!"
Benjamin, who was disguised as a guard, also turned around, took off his raincoat, showed a comforting smile, and said softly: "Sorry, I'm late."
After discovering that the two siblings were captured, he followed the guards for a long time and had this rescue plan in his mind.
- Along the way, he had not seen any priests, let alone elders, so Benjamin felt that it would be difficult for others to see through his disguise. But correspondingly, he still couldn't figure out the situation on the entire island. Therefore, he didn't want to expose himself casually, so he didn't take action directly in the village.
He first hid himself, took a detour, and found two lone guards near the village. After killing the guards, he stole a coir raincoat-like uniform and deceived the people by lying about military information.
To be honest, the whole process was easier than he imagined. The social hierarchy on the island is extremely clear, and these guards have a strong sense of obedience in their bones. In addition, they rarely had contact with the outside world. As soon as Benjamin reported the "elder's order", the whole group panicked.
Therefore, Benjamin was able to successfully rescue the two sisters.
He had many questions in his mind, but looking at the two men covered in bruises, he couldn't bear it. He quickly tapped his fingertips and drew a series of characters. The water element condensed into dense raindrops and fell on the two siblings, finally healing their scarred bodies.
Two delicate ice blades also flew out of his hands, cutting off the ropes in the hands of the two siblings.
"Thank you, thank you, Sir..." The girl broke free and tore off the wooden ring on her head. Her tears mixed with the rain and she said in a trembling voice.
The young man also gradually recovered under the treatment, got up from the ground, and knelt deeply in front of Benjamin.
"You are from the Magic Academy. Of course I have to protect you." Benjamin smiled slightly and said casually, "Okay... tell me what happened."
After hearing this, the two nodded, and while receiving treatment, they described in detail the things about the illusion and how they were captured. After hearing this, Benjamin touched his chin and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, other issues can be put aside for the time being. The most important thing is where the church members and the priests and elders of overseas sects have gone.
According to the description of the two siblings, the elder had to interrupt their interrogation halfway because they had to deal with the invasion of the church.
Did the people of the church really collide with the power of overseas sects
However, Benjamin was still a little confused. Those priests and paladins don't know how to read, so how can they not be affected by the illusion? Moreover, aren't they going to attack the altar? It was calm on the other side of the altar, with no sign of the church at all.
In this case, he could actually go back and take advantage of the overseas sect's internal defense vacuum to directly occupy the village or even the altar. But... he had other plans.
He had to find the place where the two sides were fighting.
"How is your recovery? Can you still move?" Thinking of this, Benjamin turned to look at the two siblings and asked, "We have to find the location of the two groups as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the two siblings took a deep breath and nodded in unison.
"By the way... Lord Benjamin, can I call my ancestral spirit here?" The girl thought for a while and suddenly asked.
-The so-called ancestral spirit in her mouth is naturally the ghost bird.
Because the ghost bird was too conspicuous, before they were "captured" by the church, the girl gave it an order not to get too close and could only follow it from a distance. When the two siblings were captured, the girl knew that it was useless to attract the ghost bird, so she simply let it fly farther.
"Of course, you can call it over." Benjamin naturally had no reason to refuse.
He opened the soundproof ice ball to protect himself, and led the two siblings towards the scope of the illusion again. According to the two siblings, this kind of illusion usually does not exist. Ordinary villagers can usually come and go freely after getting permission without being affected.
As for why an illusion that is very similar to the ghost principle suddenly appeared today, maybe... this is one of the methods of overseas sects to defend themselves against enemies.
"There is the aura of the ancestral spirit in this illusion, and I dare not compete with it." The young man suddenly said, "I heard that every time the tribe is in danger, the ancestral spirit will protect everyone in its own way. .”
Benjamin nodded after hearing this: "I know there is such a thing, but... I thought that the way those ghosts were protected was to combine with some magical beasts, like the ghost bird, to have strong actual combat power, rather than to arrange a This weird illusory formation.”
"This...maybe both."
"All right."
Benjamin could only shake his head helplessly.
The methods of overseas sects are really endlessly weird. He found that a force like this that had accumulated for who knows how many years, no matter how small the scale, would retain some very peculiar things.
This made him even a little worried about the church.
At this moment, they just walked into the dense forest from before. They couldn't search aimlessly, and the two siblings were quite familiar with the island's terrain. Therefore, they began to lead Benjamin towards the chasm to the north.
According to them, there is an extinct volcano to the north of the village that has never erupted, and the place where the ancestors sleep is very close to it. The two siblings said that if the entire overseas sect activates the state of response to the enemy, there is a high possibility of choosing that place as the location to respond to the enemy.
As for the church... Benjamin hasn't thought it through yet. If people in the church fall into hallucinations, will they still be able to defend themselves against the enemy? Those priests and elders should have killed them in three strikes, five strikes, and five strikes, divided by two, right
However, let’s go and take a look first.
"Be careful, there are some vague magic waves coming from ahead." Suddenly, the system appeared in Benjamin's mind and reminded him in a low voice.
Benjamin couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Did you really find the right place
Leaving the jungle, they entered a somewhat rugged mountainous area. Although there are no trees as obstacles, the rugged terrain here seems to have experienced some terrible natural disaster. The crisscrossed rock walls still provide basic conditions for their hiding.
Looking towards the direction of the extinct volcano that the two siblings mentioned, Benjamin suddenly saw a blurry flashing light.
