When A Mage Revolts Chapter 349

The four thieves were very familiar with the terrain of the desert, therefore, they successfully fled. They redeemed the themselves for the trouble that they caused by navigating and prevented them from getting found.

However, Benjamin did not forgive them so easily.

"Who are they?" While they hid under a huge boulder, Benjamin looked at the four of them and said coldly, "What did all of you do, why are such a large group of mages chasing after you?

The four of them replied: "They... ... they are one of the largest mage forces in the desert, they are called the 'Desert Shadow'."

Benjamin frowned: "Why did not you not tell me about it previously?"

"There are a lot of small mage organization across all regions in Ferelden." One of them replied weakly, "Their activities are mostly based around the desert city. We had wanted to tell you about it, but, it was too dizzy in the sky, so we could not tell you about it.

"... So, are you blaming me?"

"No! Please do not kill us! Sorry! It’s our fault! We’re so sorry!"

"..."

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

However, if it was like what the thieves said, they were just a group of mages who entrenched the Desert City, come to think of it, there were just twenty to thirty of them. In fact, there was nothing to be afraid of.

If Benjamin had enough preparation, they won’t be hard to deal with.

Thinking of this, he pointed at the masked women who was fainted on the floor and asked: "Why did she went crazy when she saw all of you? Are they your enemies?

The thieves shook their heads and replied, "No, we are their enemies."

...Oh?

Benjamin had something in his mind.

"Before most people hide themselves in the wilderness of the desert, they used to live in the desert city." The thieves continued to explain, "But... ... the desert city became the Desert Shadow’s territory and they are very arrogant, even the authorities could not do anything about it. They used to start a feud with all the mages that went to the city. Although the hermit mages are living in the wilderness, but, they still need to go to town occasionally to stock up on their resources. Their relationship had always bad, but, after the elder gathered all the hermit mages together, their relationship gotten worst and they almost started a few fights."

"Then all of you ..."

The four of them said bitterly: "This group of people had been our enemies since a long time ago, recently, they particularly hated the elder because they thought that the elder gathered all the secluded mages to go against them. However, the desert was too big and they could not find the elder, so, they were picking on us. Every time we enter the desert city, we had to carefully disguise ourselves or it would be very troublesome if they found us."

Hearing up until here, Benjamin finally nodded his head.

So that was the reason.

Even after living in seclusion, it was still inevitably to avoid drama and friction. Even in such a remote area like the eastern desert, as long as there were people, there will be endless battles, even those who lived in solitude could not avoid it.

What if some people thought that they could live here in seclusion and came all the way here for retirement, how disappointed will they be?

While thinking about that, he adverted his gaze and looked the unconscious masked woman.

"Do you know her?"

The thieves nodded their head.

"She seems to be related to the leader of the gang, her status is quite high," One of them said angrily. "She was to one who threatened to kidnap the elder."

Hearing that, Benjamin was quite happy: "Since I settled her, would your elder be grateful about it?"

They were stunned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This… I think, according to elder’s character, he would not grateful. He would not care even if she was dead or alive."

"... okay," Benjamin was a little disappointed.

He thought that he could use her as leverage to exchange for some designs or recipes. But now it seemed like the masked women was of no use to him.

He should kill her soon.

Moreover, since it dragged on for such a long time, the masked women should have been at her limits, even the healing water balls could hardly save her. He was being merciful by doing so, killing her could be considered as ending her misery.

Look, he was a moral man!

Therefore, he used an ice blade to gently slit her throat, the masked women who was on the verge of dying crooked her neck and passed away.

More importantly, after killing her, Benjamin did not forget search her body.

Unexpectedly, in addition to a few bottles of strength increasing magic potion, he found a weird bracelet in the masked woman's pocket.

Bracelet was silver in color and it was cold to touch, seemed like it was made from some kind of unknown metal, the whole bracelet was radiating mysteriously. Benjamin held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, he felt a faint magic disturbance coming from it.

"This is ... a magic tool?"

本杰明忍不住皱了皱眉.

手环给他的感觉有点奇怪,不像是一般的魔法道具,那股魔力波动也带有一种奇怪的原始感.然而,这种感觉跟那面幻象镜子还不太一样,真要说的话,手环里面蕴含的魔力波动好像还要古老很多.

难不成...是什么古代遗物?

本杰明试着往手环里灌注精神力,最后结果,却像往基佬群里面扔女装一样,什么都没有发生.

怪事.

这玩意要怎么用啊?

"你们知道这是什么东西吗?"他又研究了一会,依然无果,只好又把手环展示给了四个盗贼.

可惜,四个盗贼也摇了摇头.

Benjamin could not help but frowned.

Bracelet to his feeling a bit strange, unlike the magic of the props, that magic fluctuations also with a strange sense of the original. However, this feeling with that side of the illusion of the mirror is not the same, really want to say, bracelet inside the magic fluctuations seem to have a lot of ancient.

What is the ancient relics?

Benjamin tried to perfume the spirit of the brains, the final result, but like the ladies inside the ladies, like nothing, nothing happened.

Strange things.

How can this thing use ah?

"Do you know what this is?" He studied for a while, still no avail, had to show his hand ring to the four thieves.

Unfortunately, four thieves also shook his head.

"Maybe the elder will know about it, he’s an expert in this." One of them suggested.

Hearing that, Benjamin could not think of a better way, so he kept the bracelet and said: "OK, let’s bury the body and immediately bring me to your elder."

Not to forget, that was the purpose of this trip!

The four of them hastily nodded their heads.

Therefore, after burying the masked women, Benjamin followed the four thieves and gradually entered this piece of vast desert. They quickly moved forward, on the way there, they fought five to six magic beasts, and finally, they arrived in their destination one hour later.

—— the elders hiding in the desert.

As though an oasis among the desert, there was a crude but rather spacious house behind a rock riprap. There seemed to be a mysterious energy protecting that place as it was not affected by the swirling sand grit. There were even a few green trees grow safely there, it was lively there.

Seeing that, Benjamin thoughtfully nodded his head.

This should the power of magic tools.

Not much people were able to create such magic tools. Being able to produce magic tools of such quality, he was even more excited to meet the elder.

"Mr. Mage, we are here." One of the thief came over and said.

Benjamin nodded his head, walked toward the door and when he was about to knock on the door.

"Mr. Mage, wait!" The thieves hastily stopped him and weakly reminded, "That ... ... the elder has a weird temper. It’s only one in the afternoon now, he most probably has not woken up yet, so we better not bother him. "

Benjamin was speechless.

"... So, I have to wait until he gets up?"

This situation, why did it feel so familiar?

If he was a very talented person, he won’t mind waiting. As long as he was willing to join his team, it will not be a big deal. But, someone who was living in seclusion in such a place, and based on the description of the four of them, Benjamin subconsciously felt that this Elder will be an extremely troublesome person.

Even if he were to wait for him, he would probably not appreciate it.

Benjamin hesitated for a while and activated the water element sensing technique. He was planning to use it to scan through the inside the house first, then decide whether he should wait or not.

However, a voice suddenly came from the house and interrupted him from peeping.

"There’s nothing here. Since you have come, come on in."

Benjamin was surprised.

... He found out that I was peeping?

When the four thieves on his side heard it, they were pleasantly surprised, they quickly ran over there, and said while running: "Elder, we are back. You woke up early today!"

After being silent for a moment, the voice once again came from the house.

"No, I have not slept."
