Chapter 425: An Unexpected Reunion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Benjamin used the water element sensing technique the entire time he was following the patrol guards.
If this was a trick to capture and kill mages, then later he would definitely be facing something that could restrain magic. Even though Benjamin thought that his act was so perfect that even the patrol guards could not tell who he really was, but who knows what could happen?
Maybe the order the guards got was to get anyone who enters the division building to the designated area by hook or by crook. And after use whatever methods specifically targeted at mages to get rid of them quietly.
Benjamin didn’t think that he would be gotten rid of, but there was no harm in being a little more careful.
He had a thought that they might not be going to see the governor of the city.
There were still some ways to go before they reached the official residence of the governor, and they will pass a few remote streets. He would wait until there was no one around anymore before attack the guards; once he escapes, he would take all his mages and quickly leave the city of Ampere.
So, Benjamin followed the guards willingly but secretly he was just biding his time.
Maybe by following this route he would gain important information so that he would not go around Carretas like a headless chicken. But the risk was high and if he reached the destination and it was the smiling faces of a few bishops, then he would be in a mess.
"Hey, what are you doing? Keep walking."
As they were passing a quiet street, suddenly Benjamin slowed down. The guards turned to look, faces frowning with confusion.
Benjamin bent down expressionlessly.
"My shoelace is untied."
"..."
The guards looked at each other with disbelieving looks on their faces. The leader shook his head, gesturing to Benjamin to quickly tie his shoelace so that they could move on.
Just as Benjamin was about to grab his opportunity and use magic to sweep away the guards, the System suddenly yelled out and stopped him.
"Hey! Don’t rush into it, there is someone ing."
Benjamin was shocked and even his movements stopped.
What is happening now?
In an instant the water element sensing technique showed him everything and it made him speechless.
There was a group of knights riding in from afar. They were just around the corner and if Benjamin were to make his move now, then he would be discovered by the knights. And the current distance did not allow Benjamin to take the knights down together with the guards. So, he could not make his move anymore.
Shit, why was he so unlucky?
Benjamin felt cheated.
It was so hard for him to get a chance; why did the knight appear now?
He had no choice, the opportunity was slipping away. It didn’t take long for the knights to pass the corner and see Benjamin with the guards. And Benjamin stayed on the ground tying his shoelaces, silently observing the situation unfolding.
"You’re here? Quick, the governor gave an order. Something has happened on the outskirts of town, you have to follow us there now!"
The patrol guards were stunned for a while.
"But, we have not brought the trespasser to the governor."
The lead knight waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don’t bother with that now, this is a critical matter, we don’t have the time to deal with thieves. Follow me quickly!"
As he said this, the knight turned and hurriedly made as though to leave.
The patrol guards looked to each other. The knights were ranked higher than them, and their tone of voice was firm. So, the guards did not dare to linger and quickly marched after the knights.
The knights were fast because they were on horses. If the guards were not quick they would be left behind.
So, in an instant, the street became empty.
Benjamin was stunned.
The patrol guards just threw him here and left him behind.
Before he was still squatting on the ground "tying his shoelace
