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

The king's request undoubtedly put the church on the fire.

Now coupled with the tragedy of St. Petersburg, the church has completely become the enemy of the nobles, who will resist at all costs and even launch a full-scale attack on the church.

In order to provide Bennett with gems, the church's divine gift has basically lost its combat effectiveness. What should we do?

Beth returned to the dock and planned to make a deal with Bennett using the gems.

At the dock, Beth came to the cargo ship and found that there was no knight of the church on it. She realized something was wrong and rushed into the cabin to check the situation of the gems.

There were no gems left. There were only a few unconscious knights sleeping peacefully in the cabin.

Beth did not blame these knights. How could they possibly have any means of counterattack against a Scourge Mage?

Beth came to the bow and sat down gently.

That year, she sat in this position when she boarded the ship back to the mainland. She was desperate and pessimistic at the time, and it was her teacher who encouraged her.

The wind at the dock is not as refreshing as the wind in the ocean, and Beth is no longer the little girl who needs encouragement.

She tied her hair up again, returned to her cabin, changed into a clean set of armor, and put the rose sword at her waist.

There are very few top combat forces in the human race, including Adam, Beth, Meteor Master, and Bennett. Meteor Master has no desires and it seems that the destruction of mankind has nothing to do with her. Beth is unsure of her temperament and does not dare to make any demands on her.

But Bennett is not a man without desires. If he has ideas, he must be prepared to be used. Now, Bennett is the only one who can help Beth.

Beth put on her helmet and took out a package from under the bed. Since conversation failed, taking action was a good option. It was difficult to kill a wizard, but it was easy to kill a divine gift.

……

The ghost castle is already gloomy today. After Sera came here, she originally planned to clean it up, but Denise's arrival interrupted everything. The little princess liked the little animals in it, so the kind-hearted Sera let some weeds go.

Of course, the gloomy environment also prevented Bennett, Sera and others from a lot of trouble, such as invitations to noble parties, peepers on Sera, and curious ladies who were interested in the mage.

However, being friendly to the owner of the castle often means being unfriendly to the guests, especially those who are insecure and want to take risks.

Beth, a guest who was going to take a risk, did not come here for the purpose of friendly cooperation. She looked here with malicious intent, and the castle felt very oppressive.

The weather was very good today, with no clouds in the sky, but there were a lot of crows flying over the castle. These crows kept circling and flying, forming a dark cloud that blocked the light of the castle.

In such weather, the castle remains gloomy. Those thorns, those vines, those ivy, they will never be colorful, and will always be the seeds connecting the darkness.

Beth, in armor, stands in front of Bennett's castle.

Why are you so nervous? Beth suddenly asked herself, why did she dare to charge at a wizard when she tied Beth up?

The first time she truly faced a calamity-level monster was the Balrog two weeks ago. If the knight had not arrived in time, and if the knights of Rose Territory had not given her support, she might not have been able to kill the Balrog.

But in the end, killing the Balrog came at a heavy price.

Scourge mages are at the same level as the Fire Demons. Maybe they don’t have the Fire Demons’ immortality, but mages are far more terrifying than the Fire Demons in terms of destructive power.

Bennett was a rookie at the beginning and had no special skills. Now, he has been studying with Master Meteorite in the royal capital for several months and can no longer be described as a rookie.

Gripping the sword tightly in her hand, Beth looked towards the wizard tower in the distance. It was very tall and lonely.

Maybe it would be better to ask Master Meteorite for help?

Haha, I'm afraid she is the least trustworthy.

What is coming must come. Beth took a deep breath, stepped forward over the vines, and knocked on the castle door.

There was almost no pause, and as soon as Beth finished knocking, the door was opened directly.

With its black and red colors and dim lights, this place looks like a vampire camp and there is never a warm feeling.

What kind of person would like such a hall?

The moment Beth stepped into the castle, she inadvertently thought that these things that she had not cared about before were now affecting her all the time.

In the center of the hall, a wizard was writing something. He still looked like a ghost, as if he would die suddenly at any time.

"Saint Beth, please take a seat."

Beth held the sword at her waist, put the package aside, and sat in front of Bennett. No one entertained her today. There were only some snacks on the table, and the wizard in front of her was preparing black tea.

"Where's Sera? Why didn't I see Sera today?"

Bennett poured water into the teapot, put in the tea leaves, and began to use the rune to heat and boil the tea.

"When you showed up at the castle gate, I sent Sera away."

Beth suddenly felt a toothache, and now it was difficult to take care of the child.

"That's very good."

The atmosphere fell into silence, and Bennett continued to fiddle with the black tea until the steam in the pot brought out the aroma of the tea leaves. Bennett added some honey to the pot, poured out two cups, and handed one to Beth.

Beth took the teacup, took a sip, put it down and asked slowly:

"Is it theft to take something without telling the owner?"

Bennett used runes to cool the tea, and then said slowly:

"Those things were originally given to me by you on the condition that Hannibal be dealt with. What, is there a problem with me taking them away?"

"Hasn't anyone taught you manners? You should at least say hello to me."

"So it's convenient for you to add conditions?"

Beth looked into Bennett's eyes. His face was haggard and his eye sockets were sunken. His gray eyes looked even more sinister on such a face.

"How do you say this?"

Bennett turned the teacup in his hand and said slowly:

"The St. Petersburg Massacre, Beth, you are in a hurry to add conditions just to solve the mess in the church, and you have set your sights on me."

Beth's thoughts were guessed, but she was not angry at all. The situation was very unfavorable to her, but it was only temporary.

"You guessed it, very clever, the mages all have good brains, but Bennett, you are just a little clever."

Bennett stopped turning the teacup, looked into Beth's eyes, and said slowly:

"It's interesting. You are the one who is at a disadvantage, Beth, but you call me a fool. Tell me, what do you mean?"

Beth placed the package on the coffee table, slowly pulled aside the cloak, and presented the contents to Bennett.

"Get to know this thing."

"The Heart of the Fire Demon, a good thing. You want to use this as a condition? Don't think too much, Beth. Even if this thing has become extinct, it is still impossible for me to fall into the quagmire of the North."

“This thing is not extinct.”

"what?"

"I hunted this two weeks ago, and I'm not going to make any conditions for it. This is for Sera."
