He didn't know how much he ate before Benjamin stopped. He touched his belly with satisfaction and almost couldn't help but burp here.
I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve eaten a lot today.
No wonder, some people always say that people who are lovelorn tend to gain weight. It turns out that this is the case.
Eh…
etc! What does this have to do with falling out of love
Benjamin scratched his head in confusion. How did he come up with this idea? He is not broken up in love, these are two totally unrelated things.
Forget it... never mind.
After having a big meal, the strange feeling in Benjamin's heart was indeed greatly relieved, so he put the matter behind him and ignored it.
He wiped his mouth with a napkin, walked into the crowd, continued his goal for the evening, and listened with all his ears.
Although he already knew the trends of the church, it wouldn't hurt to hear more about the secrets in these noble circles, wouldn't it
One step, two steps... Benjamin walked aimlessly.
Not long after, he heard something like this:
"Yes, I have also heard that the royal family is actually very dissatisfied with the bishop. During the siege a few days ago, it is said that an actor that Her Royal Highness the Queen liked very much was purified as a mage. Her Royal Highness the Queen is very sad, because of this I even had a quarrel with His Majesty the King."
This was a noble woman who whispered to another noble woman.
Benjamin stopped immediately.
He turned his back, picked up a glass of champagne and pretended to drink it, but in fact he was concentrating and listening carefully to the conversation between the two people.
I only heard another noblewoman say: "How could there be a quarrel? His Majesty the King is such a gentle person, and he can be kind even when facing criminals. How could he quarrel with Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Yes, I didn't believe it when my maid told me. But she has a sister who serves Her Majesty the Queen in the palace, and her sister saw it with her own eyes. She also said that His Majesty the King's angry look is particularly terrifying. , and slapped the Queen."
"OMG!"
"Yes, His Majesty the King is extremely loyal to God. No matter who it is, as long as someone says something bad in front of him, His Majesty the King will be very angry."
"Oh, forget it, don't talk about it, let's go to the second floor and see if anyone will ask us to dance."
"Yeah… "
The two noble women walked away.
Benjamin held the wine glass in his hand, thoughtfully.
The relationship between the royal family and the church has always been quite stable. Only a king who has been crowned by the Pope can be considered a true king. Therefore, the royal family has always been a flattering gesture to the church.
However, the queen quarreled with the king because of the church...
After thinking about it, Benjamin felt that the most critical part of this news was not the news itself, but why the news came out.
The king slapped the queen in private. Even if a maid accidentally saw this kind of thing, would the royal family allow it to spread, or even such a wine party to spread
Benjamin didn't think so.
But now, the news has really come out.
what does that mean
This shows that the royal family spread it out deliberately.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The royal family is showing its loyalty to the church!
But…
Seriously, does the royal family need to do this
Thinking about it from another angle, in order to show their respect for the church, they even sacrificed the reputation of the queen - when did the royal family fall to this point
Has the church begun to distrust the royal family
There is something fishy here.
The royal family must have done something to make the church less trusting of them. And it must be a serious matter, otherwise the royal family would not panic, let alone make such a move.
After thinking about it, Benjamin's guess gradually took shape.
It still has something to do with the mage.
Apart from secretly colluding with the mage, what else can touch the bottom line of the church
If the royal family is really like the Foer family, it has some alliance with the mage. That shows that there are many hidden problems in this seemingly peaceful kingdom, and they are even a bit overwhelming.
interesting…
While thinking this, Benjamin raised his glass and drank the remaining half of the wine.
Looking at the empty wine glass, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.
Does he have such a good drinking capacity
He had been drinking a lot here, but it was surprising enough that he was not drunk at all. You know, in the old world, his drinking capacity was not very good, and he was often the first person to fall down at dinner parties.
but…
I'm not too drunk, but I feel the urge to pee.
Benjamin had no choice but to put those big things aside and solve the more "big" things first.
He grabbed a passing waiter and asked him where there was a toilet. The waiter told him that the toilet here was in the "corridor from the second floor to the rooftop balcony."
When he heard this location, Benjamin was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that Elizabeth said something inexplicable before she left, wasn't it "There are several rooms in the corridor from the second floor to the rooftop balcony. You must not go to the sixth room"
Never... don't go
At that moment, Benjamin's heart suddenly ignited a raging fire of curiosity.
What is in the sixth room in the corridor
She would never say this for no reason.
Benjamin let the waiter leave, and soon he came to the corridor they were talking about. After using the toilet, he came out, walked to the door of the sixth room, and stopped.
The door to the room was closed, and a sign was placed on the door with the word "warehouse" written on it.
But in this small warehouse, I'm afraid, there are more than just ingredients and utensils.
Do you want to take a sneak peek
Benjamin thought so and suddenly smiled to himself.
Being able to ask such a question in his heart actually means that he has made up his mind, so why hesitate here. The curiosity in his chest could not be suppressed for a long time, so he just had to watch.
Even if the system jumps out and yells at him now, he will scold the system back and then open the door in his own way.
Thinking this, Benjamin put his hand on the doorknob and turned it gently.
The door is unlocked.
He took a deep breath and carefully opened a crack in the door without making a sound, and a little light came out from the crack.
Seeing this, Benjamin was even more sure of his suspicion.
How can there be an oil lamp in a warehouse
So, he held his breath, put his eyes to the crack of the door, and looked into the room.
I saw that the warehouse was filled with tables and chairs stacked on top of each other. In the small remaining space next to the mountains of tables and chairs, an aristocratic man of sixteen or seventeen years old was hugging another aristocratic man of sixteen or seventeen years old, and the two were kissing each other.
“…”
Benjamin was stunned for a while, then he rubbed his eyes and looked inside again.
He saw that one of the noble men was his younger brother, Grant Reese.
“…”
“…”
“…”
"???"
Benjamin closed the door quietly.
After closing the door, he left the corridor expressionlessly and without saying a word. He first reached the second floor, and then, with heavy steps, he went down the stairs and reached the first floor.
He ignored the waiter who saluted him and walked straight out of the door of Rose's restaurant.
In three steps and two steps, he got on the carriage that brought him.
The coachman turned his head and asked him: "Master, are you out so early?"
Benjamin looked straight ahead, as if looking into an unknown void, and his voice was calm and solemn:
"Go home, I want to be quiet."
Hearing this, the coachman showed a strange expression. But he still didn't say anything, set up the carriage, and left here.
"F*ck! What did I see? Oh my god, I'm going blind!" At this moment, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly jumped out and shouted in Benjamin's heart, "It's all your fault, why are you so curious? So big, I have to seek death! It’s better now, I’m no longer a pure super invincible artificial intelligence!”
"Shut up!" Benjamin repeated over and over again in his mind, "I have deleted the scene just now from my memory. The warehouse is empty and there is no one. I didn't see anything, and neither did you. , remember? I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything…”
“…”
After a moment of silence, the system suddenly spoke up and said silently: "You know, I will save everything on my hard drive. If you really forget, I can broadcast it again to let you think about it..."
"Get out." Benjamin interrupted immediately and cursed in a desperate tone.
