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

After the meeting, the Pope slowly returned to his study. He picked up the letter on the table, which showed Beth's recent whereabouts. She was taking the wizard around, and the main locations were the various earl cities under the church.

The Pope frowned and sat in the soft chair behind the desk, unable to figure out the purpose of Beth and the wizard.

Arrange the letters by time and rewrite them on a small piece of paper.

"Someone, take this letter to the Duke of Giant Wolf."

A female knight outside the door entered the study and took the old man's letter. She did not leave immediately, but paused for a moment and asked hesitantly:

“How long will my service to the Lord end?”

The Pope did not look up, still busy with his work.

"When you stop asking this question, it's over. Complete your mission, and the Lord will watch over you."

"Yes."

In the process of training knights, the church instilled too much in them about loyalty to God, which allowed those who had control over God's words to gain tremendous control.

This control is not only reflected in power, but also in ideas.

No matter how outrageous the request is, as long as the word "God" is involved, it is reasonable for the knights.

……

Bennett was flying with Beth above the forest, and Beth was looking around with a map in her hand.

Bennett looked back at Beth, who hadn't pointed out directions in a long time.

"How's it going? Have you found the lake?"

Beth looked at the map and said to Bennett:

"Fly higher, I need to see farther."

Bennett continued to take off with Beth.

When he felt a slight suffocation, Bennett slowly stopped. The forest below was still endless and there was no lake anywhere.

Beth looked at the scene in front of her and became angry again. There was no lake here at all. The map compiled by Bennett was wrong. She threw the map at Bennett's head and shouted angrily:

"Bennett!!! The map is wrong!!! Can you be reliable for once!!!"

Bennett twitched his eyes, took the map in his hand, and looked at it and compared it with the map below.

"The map is correct."

"Right? Where's the lake? Huh? Where's the lake that's as big as the one on the map?"

Bennett didn't answer, but just carried Beth down. When he got down, Bennett didn't let Beth fall to the ground, but let her fall on the tree branch.

"Yeah, pretty much what I thought."

Beth looked at Bennett in confusion, then looked at the tall trees. These trees were a little strange. There were no messy branches underneath them, as if someone had trimmed them regularly.

"Look at the ground below."

"ground?"

Beth looked down in confusion. It was all green and nothing at all.

She grabbed Bennett by the collar and yelled at him:

"What's there? Isn't it just a common moss field? What's so rare about it..."

Halfway through her words, Beth noticed a bubble popping out of the ground.

"...strange...?"

Beth looked at the smooth ground below and frowned.

"It's not ground underneath, it's swampland. But what does swampland have to do with a lake?"

Bennett nodded, touched the moss-covered tree trunk, and said:

"If we were walking on the ground, this swamp would be a large lake. And when water accumulates in the summer, the water level here would probably rise. If we look from above, it should also be a lake."

Bennett narrowed his eyes and said to Beth:

"You haven't read much."

"How can I have time to read? Do you think everyone has as much free time as you?"

Bennett wanted to say something else, but Beth interrupted him directly:

"Stop talking so much. Sera probably hasn't read many books. Why don't you teach her a lesson? Tell me what to do first."

Bennett felt very itchy when he heard Beth's comments on Sera, but Beth was right. He should solve the main problem first:

"You can't fly out. You have to know that there is a difference in vision between our left and right eyes. When we fly freely, it will cause a slight difference in direction, resulting in..."

"Okay, what should I do? I don't understand your mage's teachings."

Bennett: ...

"In a word, teleport out first, and then we can talk about other things after we get out."

Beth looked at Bennett's serious face, trying to find something different in it, but she was disappointed. Bennett's expression was expressionless.

"Is this the only way?"

"Or you want to."

"Come on then."

……

It was another exciting aerial flight across the bungee jumping machine. This time Beth didn't vomit on Bennett, but vomited to the side.

Bennett watched Beth finish vomiting, and then said to Beth:

"Although Sera is a knight, she is very knowledgeable, unlike you. You only use books as table legs."

The feeling of nausea came again. Beth pulled open Bennett's hood, lifted his collar, and vomited everything into his clothes.

Finally, the two landed at the edge of the forest. Bennett went to deal with Beth's vomit, and Beth lay beside the tree thinking about life.

After a while, Bennett handed the kettle to Beth.

"Here, drink some water and take a break."

Beth took the kettle and sprayed the mouthwash directly at Bennett's feet.

After a while, Beth took out the map, gestured on it a few times, and said directly:

"It will probably take more than half an hour. We will reach the church city. This is the last city."

Bennett nodded:

"Where are the knights you arranged? Once I have marked this city, I will go find Hannibal."

Beth shook her head and said:

"I didn't arrange a knight. The church cannot send this knight."

Bennett sat down opposite Beth, looked her in the eyes and said:

"Who are you going to let out?"

"Let the king come out."

"Your target is Alan?"

"Yes."

"What are the chances of the king making a comeback?"

"With Alan as a backup in the back and the church as a shield in the front, the King's resurgence is inevitable."

Bennett narrowed his eyes. Beth said so, but the king had Allen to back him up. Even without the church as a shield, he would continue to intensify the conflicts in the empire in order to develop himself.

What made the king skip the stage of forbearance was the moment when Bennett asked the king for the dukedom. As long as Bennett became the duke of the church, the church would become the target of the nobles.

"My becoming a duke has put a damper on the plan."

"We hadn't collaborated at the time, and we each got what we needed, so there was no problem."

"Will the king obey?"

"Yes, he can't have no achievements in this war. I guess his original plan was to rely on the Lion Family to gain credit when the war was wiped out. But now I directly said that the king needs to offer a God-given person to the empire, and he has no choice. Anyway, the Lion Family will definitely not give him this God-given person, and they don't want him to get credit for nothing. In the capital, there is only one person who is willing to sacrifice for the kingship and the empire, Allen."

Bennett nodded after listening, took out some food from the scroll, heated it up and handed it to Beth.

"Beth."

"what happened?"

"You don't need any books. Books can't teach you anything useful."

"Do you want to die?"

Bennett sighed slightly. Beth still didn't read enough and couldn't even do simple reading comprehension.
