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

A smile appeared on Beth's face.

She was right.

The wings behind him were not retracted. Instead, one of the wings slowly spread out and turned into willow branches, slowly extending towards Bennett.

This is the Saint's Tree of Power, which Beth uses to seize the will of others.

But this branch can not only seize the will, but also retain the opponent's will and transmit one's own thoughts.

However, the connections of the Tree of Power are interconnected.

If Beth does not seize the other party's will, the other party can, in turn, seize Beth's will.

Power is merciless. If one person has power, then if another person is stronger than him, he can dominate the other person.

This is Beth's second gamble.

Bennett frowned and looked at the branch handed to him by Beth. He didn't know what the meaning of this branch was.

He looked at Beth, a woman who was only an outline in his eyes, and nodded slowly.

Do you want me to trust her?

Bennett recalled the battle between Beth and Hannibal, when Beth used branches to connect the gods' gifts, and those gods' gifts immediately became Beth's puppets.

Later, in the battle between Beth and Hannibal, Beth also used these golden branches to try to connect to Allen.

Bennett immediately understood that this branch might have the ability to forcibly seize one's will.

But the advent of Beth's will also means that the two can communicate at the level of consciousness.

She had something to say to herself.

Bennett thought for a moment, locked onto the spell book with his mental power, turned to one of the pages and showed it to Beth.

The above is a design drawing of a formation, designed by Bennett himself.

Countless runes formed a heart pattern.

That was the heart modification used on Allen, which not only strengthened the knight's power, but also allowed Bennett to completely control Allen's life.

As long as Bennett has a thought, or if Bennett loses consciousness and dies, these runes will kill the other party immediately.

Beth sighed inwardly, he was so cautious now.

"can."

Beth nodded slightly.

Bennett couldn't hear what Beth said, but he saw Beth nod.

Now he was even more confused, why had it come to this?

But he showed no mercy, instead he activated the Calamity Rune, locked onto the surrounding atoms with his mental power, and began to transform Beth.

A little golden light floated in the air. Beth closed her eyes. The scene of Alan's transformation was still in front of her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She was waiting for the torture-like transformation.

But after waiting for a long time, Beth was still not disemboweled.

She opened her eyes in confusion, only to see specks of golden light entering her chest.

When Bennett transformed Allen, he did not have the abilities he has now.

Now he can directly see the atomic combination in Beth's heart, without having to violently open the transformer.

Runes were branded into Beth's heart.

Beth also felt the changes in her heart. After all, having so many foreign objects would definitely affect the normal beating of the heart.

Beth felt a little relieved. She was not afraid of torture, but wouldn't it be better not to experience it?

Bennett focused his attention and quickly engraved the rune on Beth's heart.

Bennett didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the last rune was branded.

finished.

Beth also felt the magic working in her heart, and she was much luckier than Alan.

Bennett looked at the golden branch in front of him. When he was transforming Beth, the golden branch had been floating here without any intention of retreating.

Now that Beth's life was in his hands, Bennett had no more scruples and reached for the branch.

"Bennett, you bastard."

Bennett was stunned for a moment. No way, you went through all this trouble just to come here and curse?

"What do you want to say?"

Bennett sank into his own spiritual sea and instantly felt Beth's sea of ​​thoughts.

Without hesitation, he extended his consciousness directly.

"After reading it, don't remember anything you shouldn't remember."

Beth's heart was filled with complicated emotions. Bennett's entry into her consciousness meant he entered the core of her memory.

Everything about her will be presented to Bennett without reservation.

Bennett obviously realized this, and took a step forward and then stepped back, but then he heard Beth say:

"You've already come in, and you still want to run away? Am I playing house with you?"

Bennett sighed in his heart. Indeed, Beth had done this much, and it would be unkind of him to just keep doing it perfunctorily.

With a sank thought, Bennett went directly into Beth's memory.

What first appeared was the fragmented memory of a little girl.

Those were memories of begging on the streets. She had been beaten, chased by dogs, robbed by other beggars, sold to the Rose Mansion, and escaped on her own.

Until the little girl met the church.

He was gifted with extraordinary talent and was sent to serve under a god to train as a knight.

But Beth was born rebellious. Her childhood experiences made her eccentric and incompatible with the church until she met Adam.

Life with Adam was not good. Beth had to do farm work, didn't have enough to eat, had a chapped face and cracked hands. She felt wronged and collapsed, but she managed to get through it.

What followed was an encounter on another continent. In Beth's memory, Bennett saw his future enemy for the first time, the Fire Lord who was taller than a mountain.

Back on the mainland, Beth said goodbye to Adam.

During her trip to the royal capital, all Beth saw were the desires of the nobles, the degeneration of beliefs, and the corruption of parliament.

After everything she had been through, five years later, Beth re-entered the church she had left.

One night God-given, the second night saints.

No one knew what Beth had been through. The golden tree of power unfolded, and the church had one more saint.

She wrote down the guidelines for the Kingdom of God on earth, and in order to implement the plan quickly, she delegated power to the bishop.

However, those bishops could not protect themselves, and some of them introduced indulgences. Driven by interests, the kingdom of God on earth developed faster.

Beth felt sad in her heart, but when she thought of those terrible enemies, she could only make herself tough.

With this expansion, the church's strength grew by leaps and bounds, quickly accumulating hundreds of God-given knights.

The oldest family on this continent, Giant Wolf, Lion, Rose...

Beth single-handedly raised the church to the same level as the thousand-year-old family in just a hundred years.

After that, the world changed drastically and I met Bennett.

The memory ends.

Bennett was silent.

He exited Beth's sea of ​​consciousness and looked at Beth in the real world.

In the floating atomic dust, the blonde woman was hung in mid-air by chains, with a miserable smile on her face.

Her golden pupils sparkled, and Beth looked at Bennett with a slight breath.

"You saw me."

Bennett nodded.

Beth's smile showed a hint of joy.

Bennett

"I'll put you down."

The magic chains dissipated, and with a wave of Bennett's hand, all the wounds on Beth's body healed without any sequelae.

Bennett directly changed the molecules of the air and then filled it into Beth's body.

Beth watched her wound heal with curiosity, marveling at the miraculous ability of Bennett.

"Is every Scourge Mage as strong as you?"

Bennett held out his hand and said:

"I'm afraid I'm the only one who has that ability, Beth, it's nice to see you again."

He didn't know why he could suddenly see Beth, but he felt okay when he saw a familiar person in the gray atomic dust.
