I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Beth nodded. She knew that Bennett didn't trust her, and the trust between the two needed a guarantee. Although Beth had convinced Bennett and had the upper hand in words, the reality was that Beth was still at a disadvantage in terms of hardware.

"Tell me, how do you want to achieve this trust?"

A blue light flashed, and a rune gem appeared in front of Beth. The silver tableware melted and slowly wrapped the gem, forming a rough necklace.

Beth looked at the gem on the necklace and instantly understood what Bennett meant, but she still wanted to disrupt Bennett's train of thought, as a way of venting her dissatisfaction.

"Why are you being so perfunctory when expressing your feelings? Shouldn't you use a ring?"

Bennett checked the runes on it, pushed the necklace in front of Beth, and said directly:

"This is a positioning necklace. You must always wear it until I complete the next deployment. You can never leave it. I will monitor you from time to time."

The first move was a big one. Beth twitched her eyebrows, but couldn't help but yelled at Bennett:

"What if I'm taking a shower while you're spying on me?"

Bennett ignored Beth's words and directly announced his next plan:

"I will place teleportation markers in all cities above the earl level controlled by the church. I know you can sense it, but the basis of our mutual trust is that you must keep it. Once I have left all the markers, you can destroy the necklace."

Beth put a piece of dessert in her mouth, leaned back and slumped on the sofa. Bennett's condition was harsh enough, allowing a natural disaster to teleport freely was equivalent to allowing nuclear bombs to lock onto any of his cities at any time.

"Why don't you just watch me take a bath? I think this is more reliable. What if you go crazy one day? If you watch me take a bath, I will be the only one who dies. If you don't watch, everyone will die."

Sera was probably the only one who didn't care whether Bennett would go crazy or not. Sera had tied herself and Bennett completely together. Others all had this worry to some extent.

But to negotiate, to drive a bargain, Bennett asked:

"Tell me, what do you want? I'm sure you have a way to prevent me from going crazy. Let's talk about the terms."

Beth felt her forehead with the back of her hand and saw the blue sky outside out of the corner of her eye. She did know someone, but she didn't want him to help Bennett.

But now Bennett had no room for bargaining, and Beth was helpless.

"There is a person who can prevent you from going crazy, but he is also a threat to you. It depends on whether you dare to use him."

Bennett understood what Beth meant instantly. To prevent Bennett from going crazy, what could be better than a mortal? Moreover, a mortal is different from a saint. As long as a mortal makes a promise, he must be more reliable than a saint.

But the prerequisite is that Huafan makes the promise first.

"Adam is indeed a good option, but the prerequisite is that he has to really help me."

Beth smiled, stretched out her right hand in front of Bennett, and said directly:

"Have you thought about the ceremony to receive the legacy of Rose Territory?"

Bennett held Beth's four fingers and replied:

"There is no rush for the ceremony. It still depends on when Her Highness the Saint is available."

After shaking up and down, they both let go at the same time.

After everything was settled, Beth completely relaxed. She threw the half-finished snack aside and asked directly:

"Don't you have any fruit? These snacks are all standard and not tasty at all."

"It's good to have something to eat. What good things are you thinking about?"

"I need to borrow your bathroom to take a shower. I won't have the chance to take a shower once I leave this door."

"casual."

Beth stood up and walked straight towards the bathroom. When she reached the entrance of the corridor, Beth said:

"Why don't you ask Sera to come back and help me?"

Bennett was tidying up the tea set in front of him, and didn't even bother to look up:

"Don't even think about it. You won't be able to see Sera until I finish deploying to the church city."

"Sierra is not here, will you peek, will you act like a hooligan?"

"I've finished watching it a long time ago. There's nothing to see. Has the big palm print on your stomach disappeared? You should thank Hannibal. His punch made your left side look a little more developed, unlike your right side. If I hadn't looked closely, I would have thought it was your back. Your back doesn't look good either. It's all bruised. It almost left a psychological shadow on me."

Beth's fists made a crackling sound. She didn't know whether to be ashamed or angry. How could anyone talk like that? It was too much and too infuriating.

It’s just that there’s nothing in front of me, otherwise I would have thrown something.

Beth stormed into the bathroom and the bathroom door was slammed loudly.

Beth waited for a while, but Bennett's mental investigation did not come. She felt a little relieved, but she also felt something was wrong.

When she came out again, Beth had already tied up her armor and put it on her back. She was now wearing a training suit that she wore under her armor.

She looked at the serious Bennett and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't react for a while. She picked up the necklace on the coffee table and put it on her neck.

"Lend me a wizard robe."

"Give."

"Then I'm leaving. When will I leave?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, come and see me here."

"it is good."

Beth came to the gate wearing Bennett's wizard cloak and asked Bennett out of the blue:

"How's the bruise on my back?"

"It's healed now, no marks left."

...The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Beth was surprisingly not angry, she just replied calmly:

"Well, that's good. Can I use this necklace to notify you?"

Bennett was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Just crush it."

"If I inform you one day, you must quickly teleport me to you, and I will keep this necklace."

Beth's situation is very dangerous. After the St. Petersburg incident, not only are the church's top leaders hostile to her, but even some of the church's divine gifts may begin to doubt her. She has to leave a way out for herself.

Bennett looked at the necklace in Beth's hand. Beth could not die. Based on what he had learned so far, Bennett was not sure he could defeat the Dragon King.

"it is good."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Beth left Bennett's haunted castle. She looked back at the crows circling above, wondering if she had made the wrong choice. But many times in life one has to gamble, and she didn't have much choice.

The worst case scenario is death.

Bennett looked at the mirror in front of him, lost in thought for a moment. Compared with Beth, he was nothing special. If they had a disagreement today, they might even come to the point of fighting.

"You really dare to gamble!!"

Bennett closed the door, opened a space crack, and came to the archmage's mage tower.

The wizard put down the scissors in her hand, exhaled slowly, and stopped to think for a moment. Her face was no longer the same smiling face, but there was a little relaxation on her face.

"I'm glad you and Beth were able to come to terms, Bennett."

"Thank you."

"You came here because you have a question, right? Ask it."

After Bennett bowed to the Archmage, he slowly asked:

"What is the general teaching of a wizard to his apprentice? How did you teach Mervyn?"
