Half a minute later, Benjamin changed out of his clothes, his face was smeared with blood and dirt, and he rushed out from the corner like a civilian who had just escaped.
He ran straight towards the church.
"Help, help..."
Benjamin shouted in panic, and on the other side of the church, the paladin guarding the front seemed to be used to it. Several of them stepped forward together, stretched out their hands, and skillfully stopped Benjamin.
"Don't worry, our church is blessed by the gods. The enemy has not reached here yet. You are safe now." The priest in charge also came to comfort him and quickly began to confirm the information, "Young man, what is your name? It's Rhine Are you a local in the city? Live on that street?"
Benjamin took a few big breaths, and then thought about his identity excuse during the breathing time.
"My, my name is Miles, I'm the merchant from Liam. I came here to deliver the wood, but... it turned out..." As he spoke, there was a cry in his tone, "It's my goods! Father!" Sir, what should I do? Please help me. The goods have been thrown away at the hotel. Can you help me get them back..."
"Young man, don't panic, God has His own arrangements for everything." The priest spoke quickly, interrupting his possible request.
Before Benjamin became chatty, he turned his head and tried his best to wink. The two paladins understood this and took Benjamin's arms, saying to him: "It's okay. It's safe for you to stay here. The enemy will be beaten away by us soon." While closing the Holy Light Barrier, they dragged him in into the pile of refugees at the door of the church.
However, Benjamin grabbed the Paladin's arm tightly and was not thrown away by them.
"No... Lord Paladin, don't throw me together with these beggars. It's not safe here... I, I have money! Can you let me into the church? I can give you a large amount of funding to repair the church..." He attached to the Holy Spirit The knight said in a panic.
"you… "
The paladin frowned, Benjamin's voice was not quiet, and everyone else around him heard it. Suddenly, everyone turned their heads and glared at Benjamin dissatisfied.
The priest in charge suddenly followed him.
"Sir, the church hall is prepared for those who have been blessed by the Holy Light, but not everyone can enter." He whispered to Benjamin, "Only those who are devout to God can be qualified."
"God, Father, you must let me in..." Benjamin suddenly took out a bag of gold coins and stuffed it into the priest's hand, like a guy who was in a hurry and sought medical treatment.
The priest weighed the money bag, accepted it silently, and then nodded towards the paladin.
Immediately, the Paladin put down Benjamin. Wearing armor, they squeezed through the crowd, leaving a small path, and then used hands instead of carrying things to help Benjamin in with great courtesy.
And when Benjamin entered the church hall, with a bang, the paladin closed the door, blocking countless angry eyes from outside.
"so many people… "
Benjamin was put down by the paladins. He first patted the dust on himself, then glanced at the hall, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
There are no fewer people in the hall than outside, but the difference is that the people here don't look so embarrassed. They sat on the chairs where they usually listened to sermons. They looked calm and neatly dressed. There were even servants beside them. The hall was relatively quiet, and everyone was just chatting in low voices, as if there was no ongoing war outside.
When Benjamin came in, they only glanced casually and then looked away.
"Hurry up. Once you've had enough fun, get down to business. The church's support may arrive at Rhine City at any time." The system urged him in his heart.
Benjamin also nodded.
There didn't seem to be many people in charge of order in the church hall, so he simply walked straight towards the basement. Some people on the side glanced at Benjamin unexpectedly, but soon they turned back and went about their own business.
And Benjamin left the hall through the back door so easily, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of the basement.
"Who are you… "
Several paladins were guarding the basement door, looking at Benjamin with some confusion.
"I am your uncle." Benjamin smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, several ice arrows flew out, sieving the paladins guarding the door.
From then on, he no longer covered up, and directly blasted open the basement door with a ball of water vapor, flew in, and then snatched down the only oil painting in the room.
He briefly glanced at the oil painting, which is the most common religious theme and depicts the decisive battle between two brothers in the Valley of God's Abandonment. But Morris said that there was a design for St. Peter's Basilica hidden in this painting, and that should be it.
The exclamation of the priest in charge was faintly heard from behind.
Benjamin smiled coldly and turned around. When he opened the water element field, he would inevitably emit some magic power fluctuations. At this time, several figures quickly appeared in the corridor outside the basement.
He didn't dodge or dodge, he went straight to meet him.
"You... you're not..."
Soon, the priest in charge appeared in front of Benjamin with several paladins. The moment they saw Benjamin clearly, they were all stunned. The young man floating in the air and surrounded by the water was completely different from before.
"Sorry, I didn't want to alarm too many people, so I had to do this little trick." Benjamin shrugged and said innocently.
"You... who are you?" The priest in charge managed to calm down, and with a flash of runes in his eyes, he first summoned a holy light barrier, and then asked sharply.
"I can tell you, but before that, please give me the money back."
As he spoke, Benjamin clapped his hands. The priest in charge could not see what was happening at all. However, the holy light barrier he had just summoned was broken. Then, the money bag in his coat pocket flew out automatically, as if being held by something, and flew away from him quickly. go.
With a swish, the money bag fell into Benjamin's hands.
The priest's eyes widened in disbelief, and the paladins panicked.
"Evil..." As if they thought of something, their expressions changed in unison, and they immediately turned around and wanted to run away. Unfortunately, several ice bushes suddenly appeared on the floor, pinning them all into sieves.
"In the end what happened?"
At this moment, the crowd outside the church also looked inside blankly. They didn't know what was going on, but half a minute ago, the priest and the paladin suddenly ran in, leaving them confused for a while.
What happened inside
However, just when they didn't know what to do, there was a sudden loud bang, and in full view, a hole was blasted out of the roof of the church.
Benjamin flew out and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone was stunned.
The next second, the church suddenly shook violently. Dense cracks grew out of nowhere and quickly climbed up the white walls, soon covering the entire church.
People were stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.
"The church is going to collapse! Run!"
The people gathered around the door of the church dispersed in a hurry, and the celebrities in the church hall were like falling into a pig's nest. They were scrambling one by one and trying their best to get out.
About half a minute later.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and in the Rhine City, a huge ruin appeared in the church block where the war had not yet spread.
