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

In the bathroom, Beth covered her mouth, her facial features wrinkled together.

“Does it have to be in the mouth?”

Bennett nodded:

"What else can I use if I don't use my mouth? Time is running out, hurry up."

Beth opened her mouth helplessly.

Bennett stretched out his finger, and runes emerged from the air, leaving layer upon layer of rune formations on Beth's tongue.

Finally, there was a flash of blue light, and the runes fell silent on Beth's tongue.

"Okay, in a moment, as long as you move your tongue, the food in front of your lips will be automatically transported away. With the illusion spell, they will think you really ate the food."

Beth opened her mouth and moved her tongue, her eyes lighting up.

"It felt like there was something in my mouth. It was difficult to move my tongue, and I felt tingling and numb. It was very strange."

Bennett said he didn't understand what these vicious words were.

The two men came out of the bathroom together. The guard outside the door smiled mysteriously, and when he looked at Bennett, there was an inexplicable confidence in him.

Bennett frowned, and someone shortened an inch.

When they returned to the living room, the guard was already waiting there and said to the two of them:

"The appetizers are ready,"

Bennett and Beth looked at each other, and they followed the guards into the dining room.

This meal was not a banquet, but a meeting between Beth and the Pope's accomplices, so there were no grand appetizers, soups, appetizers or desserts.

The appetizers only included some fresh fruits and sausages.

Each one is a rare treasure.

These fruits alone are not simple. They are golden grapes unique to the south and are produced at the border between the human empire and the elven territory.

It will rot seven days after being picked, so you have to run horses day and night within seven days to transport it here.

The northern ice fruit is produced in the northernmost part of the empire. On the snow-capped mountains, if the temperature is above 10° for more than three hours, the fruit will turn into a pool of mud.

To transport an ice fruit, one would either use a cartload of ice, wrap the fruit in it, and deliver it day and night.

Or there are several Holy Blade Knights who use their magic power to keep the fruit warm day and night.

The one keeping the fruit warm now is a female Holy Blade.

"It is not easy to be born as a holy sword, but in the capital, most of them become slaves."

Beth sighed.

The Holy Blade seemed not to have heard it and just smiled faintly.

Beth sighed again and said nothing more.

Bennett looked at the female Saber, a ball of atoms, and couldn't understand her.

Alas, from then on, some people looked at beauty as if they were looking at bones, while Bennett looked at beauty as if he were looking at an electron microscope.

However, Bennett remembered the female knight. At that time, Bennett wanted to find a teacher for Aimee. He thought that she was a mercenary and probably didn't have much money.

As a result, when he went to the door, the man was dressed in fine clothes and pretended to be so cool that Bennett was scared away.

Now think about it carefully, mercenaries are ruthless and their equipment deteriorates quickly, so where would they get so much money to buy such a good set of armor?

Alas, they all come from the same place.

Soon the knights came in one after another. They glared at Beth, but she didn't react at all. Bennett couldn't even see their expressions.

The atmosphere was dull and weird. They picked up the fruits on the table and started eating. It was obvious that these fruits were non-toxic.

Beth felt the rune on her tongue, picked up a fruit, put it to her lips, and moved her tongue, and the fruit disappeared.

But to outsiders, it seemed that Beth actually ate all the fruits in one bite.

They looked at Beth in shock, wondering how a person's mouth could open so wide.

Bennett coughed twice, transmitting to Beth what he saw.

Beth's mouth twitched and she closed the rune on her tongue. Anyway, these fruits were not poisonous and she was not afraid of being seen.

Opening the sensory sharing with Bennett, Beth tasted the fruit while taking note of everyone at the party.

Beth's feelings were conveyed to Bennett, who marveled at these precious delicacies.

Bennett has eaten northern ice fruit.

In winter, these precious fruits would be delivered to the lord's house. Although the ice fruit was still very expensive at that time, the lord would occasionally buy some to try.

But the golden grapes from the south are something Bennett has never tasted. This kind of thing is extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive, and in the eyes of the lord, every one of them is an extreme sin.

Before coming to the royal capital, Bennett thought that life in the lord's mansion was luxurious enough.

But after arriving at the royal capital, it is still the people under the emperor's feet who know how to have fun.

Bennett couldn't taste anything, so naturally he didn't make any move to eat. It was only when Beth handed Bennett a fruit that Bennett remembered that the show was not over yet.

Bennett took the fruit handed to him by Beth and took a bite. Under the perception of his mental power, the fruit turned into atomic dust as soon as it entered his mouth. The useful parts remained, while the useless parts dissipated directly with the air.

When the people across the table saw Bennett start eating, they also showed relaxed expressions on their faces.

After all, they were planning to take action soon. If the wizard didn't eat, there would be no point in their fight.

After a while, the Pope came over with a wizard.

Bennett looked up at the two of them. There was nothing to say about the Pope being a mass of atoms.

But the person next to the Pope is very interesting.

This is also an atomic body, but its atoms are very strange, emitting a black breath all the time, just like a bonfire extinguished by water.

Bennett kicks Beth with his leg.

Beth turned her head to glance at Bennett and rubbed his calf with her leg.

Bennett: “…”

"cough."

Bennett covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly. Beth frowned and looked over, and Bennett rubbed his eyes with his hands again.

Beth finally understood. Thinking about her previous actions, her face turned red, she turned her eyes to Bennett, and started sharing senses with Bennett.

With the help of Beth's sensory sharing, Bennett finally saw the situation on the other side.

Black glowing eyes, a mad mage.

Bennett sighed. There was no need to think too much about it. The source of those soul poisons was probably quite cruel.

The Pope first looked at Beth and introduced her:

"Your Highness, this is Master Hogel, who specializes in soul research."

Beth nodded, without standing up or looking at the mage. He was not a Scourge mage, so she didn't care too much.

Hogel looked at Beth, his tongue stirring constantly, with greed in his eyes.

Bennett couldn't see Hogel's expression. In his eyes, Hogel was just a little darker than the table in front of him, and there was nothing special about him.

Hogel's soul had turned completely black and had been completely contaminated by magic. He no longer looked like a human being, and Bennett could not tell his emotions.

Pope then introduced Hogle to Bennett:

"Master Lieyang, Hogel often mentions you and has always longed to see you in person."

Bennett nodded, and under Beth's surprised gaze, he stood up and shook hands with Hogel.

Hogel didn't expect Bennett to do this. There was excitement in his eyes, but after the excitement, he was excited about what he was going to do.

Such a person will also die in my hands.

"I……"

Bennett shook hands and sat back in his seat, looking at the rune that had entered Hogel's soul, and said:

"Nothing, please sit down."

The moment he looked into Hogle's eyes, Bennett sentenced him to death.
