The room fell into still silence again.
The three members of the Mage Heritage Association were stunned in unison. The two looked at each other with strange expressions. As for the old lady herself, she narrowed her eyes and looked Benjamin up and down, with a rare look of confusion on her face.
"… What did you say?"
Her tone sounded very guarded, as if she didn't know Benjamin. Benjamin scratched his head when he saw this, and felt that something was not quite right.
got the wrong person
But... how is that possible? Regardless of appearance or personality, they are obviously exactly the same!
Benjamin's brain was already in a state of panic. The old lady who had been missing for a long time suddenly appeared and became the boss mage in some kind of mage inheritance society. This was scary enough. If he were told that he recognized the wrong person, the room would be too embarrassed to stand.
In fact, he is still digesting the fact that "the old lady is a mage" so far.
—As a mage, not only is he in Havenright, but he is also just under the nose of the church for who knows how many years. What is the difference between this kind of thing and a fantasy? Even if she is not discovered by the church, wouldn't she feel emotional as she watches the church kill other mages every day
With mixed emotions, at this moment, Benjamin didn't even know whether he should hope to admit the wrong person or not.
In the end, it was Elizabeth who suddenly spoke up to resolve the embarrassment.
"... The old lady lost all her past memories. She did not remember that she had stayed in the royal capital, nor did she know that she was the head of the Rise family. She only remembered that a few years ago, she suffered severe mental trauma and lost All spell-casting abilities woke up from the secret stronghold of the Mage Heritage Association, and were protected by these two senior mages... until now."
When Benjamin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He did not admit the wrong person.
It's just... this plot is a bit too bizarre.
"Is this really true?" He looked at the other two old mages.
The two nodded and seemed to gradually understand the current situation. They looked at Benjamin with strange eyes, and one of them said, "So, you are her other grandson?"
"... so to speak."
"It's amazing." The old mage showed an incredible expression. "Your Excellency, dean, please forgive us for being rude. We didn't expect that you turned out to be that Benjamin Reese."
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say.
The old lady sitting on the chair frowned, looked at Benjamin a few more times, and suddenly asked: "Are you my other magic grandson?"
"… yes."
"That magic academy was also built by you?"
"Yes, I built it."
Suddenly, the old lady patted the table and said slowly: "Turn it off quickly."
“…”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
This was the first thing a lost relative who hadn't seen for many years said after finally seeing each other. It was really... very like an old lady.
The other two old mages hurriedly stopped the old lady. One of them came over and advised: "Don't be angry, Dean. She has lost all her memory and has a bad temper. She often talks nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
Benjamin smiled bitterly: "I understand her temper, but... what happened to her amnesia? There is also the Mage Heritage Association, of which she is a member mage? She is a mage? This... before, including the entire Rise No one in the family seems to understand this."
- There are so many questions in his mind that he can't hold it in without taking the opportunity to ask some questions.
"I understand your confusion, but... too many things did happen." The old mage said slowly, "Yes, she is a mage. In fact, she is the most talented mage in the world. As a child, She was valued by the seniors of the Mage Heritage Association and was accepted as an apprentice. She reached the pinnacle of magic when she was in her twenties and was known as the 'Soul Flame'. No one can match her."
“…”
Benjamin's brain crashed again.
Soul flame
Is that the legendary mage who sealed away part of his strength, then went to challenge the church, and then disappeared without a trace? Is it the arrogant genius who left the remains at the bottom of Pearl Lake, which directly led to Michelle's death, the birth of the funny system, and almost killed Benjamin
This is too...
At this moment, Benjamin could not find any words to describe his mood. Too much information came flooding in, and he felt like he didn't actually know this grandma.
Not only did he not die after challenging the church, but he also became the mistress of the Riese family. How many decades had passed in the royal capital? Really, even Qidian novels would not dare to write like this.
"She... how is it possible?" Benjamin didn't ask deliberately, but the words came out of his mouth subconsciously.
"We also find it incredible, but this is her." The old mage also smiled bitterly, "Originally, the teacher selected her as the next leader of the mage inheritance association, but she didn't want to be the leader at all, ran out without authorization, and even had a fight with the church. Very violent conflict."
"In the end, she killed the reigning Pope and all the mages who were surrounding her. However, she also lost all her magic power due to using forbidden magic and disappeared. We never contacted her and thought she was dead until more than ten years ago. Years later, she returned to our base and we learned what had happened."
"But at that time, she had become the mistress of the Rise family and had been hiding her identity as a mage very well, so she did not plan to return to the Mage Heritage Association. She only had occasional contact with each other. And after that, it would be a few years. Before, she appeared inexplicably in our stronghold, losing her mana and memory, obviously the result of using forbidden magic. We didn't know what happened, so we had to protect her until now... We met with Your Excellency, what happened That’s about it.”
On the opposite side, after hearing the whole story, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the expression on his face could no longer be described as surprise.
Is that human being
He turned to look at the old lady. At this moment, she listened to the old mage tell her story, but she just raised her eyebrows, with a matter-of-fact look on her face, as if she was thinking about something else.
... Well, looking at it this way, it really seems like something she can do.
Benjamin didn't know what to say. If the old lady's experience is really that exciting, then the "great achievements" she has made along the way seem to be nothing.
At least, he hasn't killed a pope in a real sense.
Speaking of the Pope…
Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to have thought of something again, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "Then... the current Pope, Grant Reese, you should also know about him, right?"
