e shop where Benjamin had a bowl of beef.noodle was affected; it was no longer open for business.
It looks pretty pathetic, but Benjamin had no choice - his aim was not sympathizing them, but to rid them forever. He walked the streets while he sensed the surrounding, indoors and outdoors, using the Water Elements. However, when he walked past one door and another, he realized that these people with a small round hat were living quite heartily. They were only living behind closed doors and keeping it down low, but aside from that, the beef and mutton that they sacrificed at the praying mantle of their homes did not even decrease in amount.
Benjamin frowned at this. He has warned the Mage Freemasonry but 4 days have passed since then, did the mages or the military not do anything to solve this problem?
Now, this is beyond strange…..
Just as he was deliberating whether anything happened in between these events, some soldiers suddenly walked over and stopped Benjamin in his tracks.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Benjamin was stunned stupid by the interrogating tone of the soldier.
Wait…..
As if he was struck by a thought, he did not answer the question, but instead asked them, "Uh, I’m sorry, but are you the soldiers that were tasked to investigate the area due to the previous attack that happened here?"
The soldiers exchanged glances, their expressions odd.
"Hey! I’m asking you a question here, why are you asking us another question instead of answering?" A soldier barked as he scowled fiercely, "Who exactly are you? What purpose do you have in coming here? Answer quickly, or we’ll arrest you like a criminal!"
Sadly, Benjamin looked delighted than he was afraid after he heard the soldier’s threats.
"You’re really the people who were sent to investigate this matter!" He tugged at the arm of the soldier as he continued excitedly, "Who’s your officer in command? I want to see him. I have a very important message to tell him."
The soldiers stood dumbly in place.
"You….. you….."
"Who’s your officer in command? Who’s in charge of this?" Benjamin demanded.
"It’s…. It’s Sir Lance, the Head of Knights."
"Bring me to him."
"You…. No, what are you planning to do?" The soldiers finally snapped back into reality as they stared at Benjamin in disbelief, "Why do we need to listen to your commands? Who the heck are you to demand a meeting with the Head of Knights at your whims?"
Benjamin was troubled after he heard that. How could he ensure that the official authorities in Ferelden would not let the cult off the hook without meeting those in the upper part of the organization?
After some thoughts, he declared, "How about this. You feel that I’m very suspicious, right? Here, arrest me for an interrogation; I have so many inside information about this, and as long as your officer is here, I will be willing to tell him everything. Quick, arrest me!"
"..." The few soldiers felt like they were dreaming.
"Have you gone insane?"
"No, I haven’t. See, I’m so suspicious, why are you not arresting me yet?"
"He’s crazy…." The soldiers shook their heads and turned to leave, their faces as long as horses.
"Hey, don’t leave!
"Don’t come near us! We’ll arrest you if you do!"
"Arrest me then!"
"A madman! Quick, let’s go, don’t bother him any longer."
Benjamin had no choice. He chased them and shot his leg out to kick a soldier hard on his bottom. He exerted a huge force on his assault that the soldier shouted and lost his balance, falling face first onto the floor.
"..." The other soldiers turned to face Benjamin. They looked as if they became insane.
"What sins have they committed in their past lives for them to meet such a crazy man like you in this lifetime?" The System suddenly sighed, its voice filled with sympathy.
Benjamin ignored it. In the real world, he shrugged and said helplessly to the soldiers, "I’m terribly sorry, and I hope I did not hurt you bad. But….. At least you now have a legitimate reason to arrest me, right?"
