Finally, the funeral lasted for more than three hours, and the king's body was buried behind the city hall. Benjamin ordered his men to clean up the square, while he... turned around and disguised himself, hid in the crowd, and went to find trouble for the troublemakers.
"Who ordered you to come?"
In the remote alley of Coster, he blocked the fanatical believers here and asked condescendingly.
Several believers all collapsed on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly. They looked up at Benjamin, gritting their teeth, their expressions constantly switching between fear and hatred. Someone tried to shout for help, but the sound was blocked by a film of water in the alley and could not be heard at all.
Finally, probably tired of shouting, they also realized that they could not escape, so they glared at Benjamin and finally said: "...you will go to hell."
"Whatever." Benjamin waved his hand. His ears almost grew calluses after hearing such words. He didn't care, but continued to question, "Where did you come from? What orders did you receive? Who asked you to be there? The one who caused trouble at the funeral?"
As he spoke, ice needles emerged from the air, shining coldly and aiming at several people.
"You... what do you mean? We are exercising God's orders!" The fanatical believers did not seem too afraid and spoke excitedly, "No one instructs us, this is our own will! God will not allow you demons to continue to cause harm. Of this world!”
Benjamin frowned.
Hard-spoken? Or is there really no one to instruct...
In any case, it’s better to review it first. With this in mind, he controlled the ice needle and tortured these believers like hell on earth. About fifteen minutes later, those people shouted until their voices were hoarse, and they fell to the ground exhausted. Every muscle was cramping, and no matter how fervent their faith was, it was impossible to sustain them.
However, they still said that no one instigated it and that today's action was spontaneous.
"… never mind."
In the end, Benjamin could only shake his head and gave up the interrogation. He asked several soldiers to come over, carry the fanatics, and throw them out of Coster, never allowing them to enter again.
After that, he turned around and left, and through the system's scanning, he found the little beggar shouting in the city.
"Who taught you those words?" Benjamin took him into an abandoned house and began to interrogate him. "I don't believe that you, a beggar, would know that the magic academy has studied magic. There must be someone there. Instigating you behind your back!"
The little beggar was so frightened that he trembled and said with a smile: "F-Master... what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean?"
Hearing this, Benjamin had no choice but to summon a dozen ice needles again, and said with a cold face: "You are still pretending to be stupid? You have the guts to cause trouble in the square, why don't you have the guts to admit it now? I advise you to think clearly, so many needles are stuck in it It’s uncomfortable, is it worth suffering so much for the people behind you?”
Aimed at the glistening needle, the little beggar shrank back again. He obviously did not have the willpower of ordinary priests and fanatical believers. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly fell to the ground, crying and crying at the same time.
"I... don't kill me. It was that person who taught me what to say... He gave me ten gold coins and said that as long as I repeat these words in the square, he... he will give me another twenty gold coins. . I believed it, but... it turned out that person also disappeared... "
Benjamin felt as if he had discovered something, and quickly asked: "Who is it? Be clear."
"I, I don't know him either..." the little beggar choked, and continued, "I met him on the street in the west of the city this morning. He looked very rich... He was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see it. His face, and he’s wearing a particularly long robe... Sir, I really can’t recognize him!”
After listening, Benjamin's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling. Is it someone from the church? Maybe the church people used some means to get past the city gate inspection, sneak into Coster, and then hire a little roadside beggar to cause trouble at the funeral
If this is the case, it will be a big trouble...
If the priest looked particularly closely, he could see the flaws in those fake mages. In the current state of the Black Nightmare Army, they absolutely cannot tolerate spellcasters and spies sneaking in. Even the princess is under house arrest most of the time and cannot see anything. Otherwise, once the information is leaked, it will be another disaster for them!
"Where did that person go after I finished talking to you?" he asked immediately.
"I... I don't know!" the little beggar said tremblingly, "I took the money and I was so excited that I ran directly towards the square... I didn't see where he went."
"What about other things? Is there any other information? Height and body shape?" Benjamin was also a little anxious. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Why did you say you felt he was rich just now? Where did you feel it? Not the whole person. Are they all wrapped in robes?"
The little beggar was stunned when he heard this. Then, he frowned and recalled for a while, and suddenly shouted: "That... that's because he wears so many rings on his hands!"
"ring?"
"Yes! There are them on almost every finger. The gems are huge! Some are red, some are white... They are so beautiful when they sparkle, as if they are magical. I don't dare to look at them too much. I feel like I have been looking at them for a long time. My head will feel a dull pain..."
Hearing this, Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
"So...height and build?"
The beggar thought for a while and said with a troubled look on his face: "Probably...about the same height as you, sir, and...that's right! They are both fat and thin! They are really similar to you in an indescribable way!"
Before he finished speaking, Benjamin turned around and left, flying directly out of the house.
That bad premonition has turned into a strong sense of crisis.
Only a few magic props handed down from ancient times can match the ring that can make ordinary people feel trance-like. Then he wore it all over his hands, and then thought of the scenes he had seen before... There is no doubt that Grant has infiltrated Kos. special.
What is he here for
Flying in the air, hesitating for a few seconds, Benjamin immediately rushed towards the military camp. The number of mages in the Black Nightmare Army has dropped sharply. It is absolutely impossible to stop Grant's sneak attack, and it may even directly turn into a massacre! And... And even if he didn't have time to make a sneak attack and just discovered the identities of those fake mages, the situation would become very bad.
With an extremely anxious mood, Benjamin kept accelerating and rushed towards the military camp in the south of the city.
"It's quite interesting to say." The system appeared at an inappropriate time and said, "In the beginning, you couldn't beat him head-on, so you sneaked into his lair every day to do things. But now, he can't beat you head-on. Then he sneaked into your hometown, really... tsk tsk tsk... "
Benjamin ignored it.
Half a minute later, he rushed directly to the Black Nightmare Army camp. Fortunately, the camp looked normal, and the soldiers were conducting normal drills and patrols. So, he activated the water element induction method and covered the entire camp, detecting possible clues.
The system also adds detection. A few seconds later, it said: "There are no traces of abnormal light elements in the air, and there are no strange footprints nearby. At least... Grant has not been to this place in half an hour."
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart became more intense.
"Ben, Lord Benjamin! So you are here!" Suddenly, a soldier ran over and saw Benjamin above the camp. He quickly shouted, "No... It's not good! Someone just broke into the city hall and kidnapped the princess. !”
