After running around Ferelden for half a month, Benjamin finally returned to Rayleigh.
The black flags above the houses had yet to be taken down. According to tradition, when a king dies, the whole kingdom mourns his death for a year.
But, the city streets have slowly started to regain their usual hustle and bustle. The church’s puppetry had yet to really make an impact on Rayleigh.
The only jarring part was that priests would suddenly come out of the crowd and grab pedestrians whilst shouting, "God wants to impart to you his will".
Even though a lot of people were not used to it, there was nothing much that they could do. Many mages had already had conflicts with these people, to the point where there have even been street brawls. But ultimately, they could not just kill them; So, the priests continued their preaching.
"Sir, God wants to impart to you his will."
Even Benjamin was stopped as he made his way to the inn to drop off his luggage.
