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

It took a long time for Bennett to wake up from his meditation.

Beth had already put away her sword, and Bennett breathed a sigh of relief.

After collecting the runes underground, Bennett looked at Allen, who was still in a coma.

"What are you going to do if he dies like this?"

Beth sat under a tree, waiting for Bennett to bring out the food and the tent.

Bennett's mental power swept over Allen, and seeing his aura gradually rising, he said:

"It's not me who should decide what to do, but you. If Alan dies, the spell in his heart will be activated immediately.

That is my Scourge, that spell can't kill me, but you will die here."

"It is said that the magic of mages comes from the massacre of humans. From the moment they were born, they were destined to have a crazy ending. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this is true."

Beth herself was by no means a soft-hearted person, but after seeing how Bennett had transformed Allen, she still felt a chill down her spine.

The strength of a Scourge Mage is related to their knowledge, but no matter how strong they are, there is a limit.

Beth never thought that she would be killed by the wizard. At her level, she was no longer affected by any natural disasters.

But the shrunken mana gem and Bennett's control over flesh and blood magic were beyond her understanding.

Beth had never seen the legendary dragon king.

But even if she faced the strongest fire demon, she was not as threatened as the gem.

Only Adam and Hannibal could give her this feeling.

Bennett took the food out of the scroll, and then took out three tents from the scroll, and said:

"As long as Sera is still alive, I think my madness can be delayed a little bit."

He heated up the food in his hand and handed it to Beth.

When Beth heard Sera's name, she felt complicated. She took the food and couldn't help but said:

"I used to think you were unworthy of Sera, but now I'm a little jealous of Sera. With a wizard like her, what can't be accomplished in this world?"

Bennett smiled. If he could do whatever he wanted with the power, he would not be far from being infected by magic and becoming crazy.

"Luckily it's Sera. If it were you, I'd probably go crazy tomorrow."

"Ha ha ha ha."

They both burst into laughter.

Beth put the rose sword at her waist behind her back. Fortunately, there was Sera. Beth didn't trust Bennett very much, but she had full confidence in Sera.

In the heart of the red-haired knight, there burned a fire like the rising sun. With her around, Bennett would never follow the path of the old wizard and Mervyn.

……

It has been several months since Beth left the royal capital.

Beth's departure did not affect the operation of the church. On the contrary, a lot of big moves were made after Beth left.

The largest of these is the new cathedral in the royal capital.

The king looked at the church next to the palace and thought of the letter the Pope had sent him. He no longer felt depressed.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Prince."

If Beth were here, she would be surprised to find that all the people she had arranged to be around the king were gone.

The king took the letter and waved to the visitor, signaling him to go down.

The man bowed and left the room, facing the king.

The knights of the royal capital were the accumulation of hundreds of years of humankind, and they had all died in Hannibal's last war in the royal capital.

The knights in the royal capital are not all the knights in the king's service.

In order to reassure the nobles, the king even gave up all his soldiers.

Over the years since the Lion Kingdom was founded, the Lion family has never given up the power in their hands, but this power has been transferred from the king to the family.

The king took the letter from the prince and a smile appeared on his face.

After checking the wax seal on the envelope, the king opened the letter. After such a great defeat, he thought his family had given up on him.

Now it seems that the family feels that he still has some value.

The content of the letter was simple. The family would not give up the throne so easily, but the king had to pay a price for his failure.

cost?

The king sneered in his heart. The lion was so greedy and even though he was seriously injured, he was still unwilling to leave the first place stage.

He picked up the quill and agreed to the full price of the family without any hesitation.

"Come here, deliver the letter to the prince."

A man entered the king's office, took the letter, and left the palace.

As soon as this person left, someone else came in.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report from the Grand Duke of the North and the Grand Duke of Rose."

The king took the battle report and did not let the man leave. Instead, he opened the letter in front of the man.

After taking a look at the battle report, the king had an idea of ​​what was going on.

The battle report records the generals who led the troops and the progress of their expedition.

This is not a battle report at all, it is a signal to divide the spoils of war. These generals are all confidants of the two grand dukes, and what they want is the expansion orders from these generals.

In front of the man, the king wrote a reply and made a promise in the letter. He did not seal the letter with wax, but gave it directly to the man.

The man took the letter, turned and left the room without any respect for the king.

This man was pushed up by Giant Wolf and Rose together, and he is not the king's man.

The North and the Rose already knew that Bennett would take care of Hannibal, and they now felt that they could do whatever they wanted in this kingdom.

The king hopes that they will do so. Only when they turn their attention to the Lion Family, to each other, and to the church, will he have a chance to rise again.

At this moment, someone pushed the door of the king's room again.

"Your Majesty, that person wishes to see you tonight."

The king looked at the person who came. He was a man dressed in church clothes, wearing a solemn red robe on the outside and a precious golden shirt made by elves on the inside.

The king immediately stepped forward and welcomed the visitor into the room, whispering:

"The Cardinal has come in person. His Holiness the Pope is indeed willing to befriend the Lion."

The bishop smiled and said:

"The child has already been chosen for the king. The Pope has chosen it himself. We are just waiting for the king to verify it."

The king sneered in his heart, handed the church blueprint on the table to the visitor, and said:

"The second underground floor is the location I chose."

The bishop looked at the blueprints, his face expressionless, but he was ecstatic in his heart, and he quickly said to the king:

"Your Majesty cares about the true bishop, and the church will always remember the king's kindness."

If the king believed this, he would have really seen a ghost.

“The true bishop has always been the kingdom’s most loyal friend, and anyone who divides the church should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.”

"Hahahaha, the church will definitely assist the king, stabilize the empire, and help your majesty expand the territory."

The king was perfunctory in his response to the cardinal, but in his heart he was full of contempt for the Pope.

Church, lion, wolf, rose, unless you sit on the throne, you will never be able to understand the mind of a king.

At night, the king secretly set out from the palace and entered a rather quiet villa in the royal capital.

Red wine, delicious food, and a fanatical female knight of the church.

Anyone who comes here would not dare to imagine that this is where the Pope lives in secret.

……

On the other side, Beth suddenly woke up in the tent. She tightly covered her chest, which was not very fleshy, and her eyes were full of fear after a nightmare.

She took off the necklace from her neck, which Bennett had given her, saying that it would save her life if necessary.

Holding the necklace tightly, Beth walked out of the tent and went to the fire. Bennett was looking through the old wizard's notes in front of the fire.
