He took the script of an exorcism legend, but became the number one anti-fraud expert.

The black swamp, the mist dissipated.

The soldiers retrieved their shoes, put them on, and resumed their walk back to town.

Benjamin believed that if Victor was willing to pay so much money, the Grandmother Spider's spoils must be worth much more.

But he wouldn't interfere, since businessmen have their own ways of doing business.

1440, plus the scattered spiderlings, brought Victor to a total of 1500 pounds for Benjamin.

Including his previous balance, Benjamin now has a total of £1896 and 8 shillings in his storage ring!

Of course, the transaction was conducted quietly.

Benjamin simply shook hands with Victor, and as soon as he accepted, the heavy pounds were quickly transferred from Victor's storage ring to his own.

While Benjamin was telling everyone to leave, Victor collected the corpses of the grandmother spider and the baby spider.

Furthermore, Victor explained how to remove the demonic markings from the evil spirit.

One method is to drip "digestive fluid" onto the magic pattern, wait for the pattern to react and turn into liquid, and then collect it in a bottle.

The other method was more direct: Benjamin used a dagger to peel the magic runes off along with the skin.

We'll take it out and refine it when we need magic runes later.

"We're in trouble now."

Pete whispered in Benjamin's ear.

"We need holy water. The men are all injured. Although it's not fatal, the corruption and infection from the evil spirits could worsen without holy water."

As he spoke, Pete casually glanced at the bandage on Benjamin's arm, his meaning obvious.

"Thank you for your concern, Pete. You did a great job, and as your partner, I feel very relieved."

Pete abandoned his serious demeanor, rubbed his nose, and remained silent.

Benjamin continued, "Is the monastery determined to cut off the supply of holy water?"

At this point, Pete grinned: "It wasn't originally like that. Even though Avery swindled Robin out of £200 that day, Jeff, that guy, tried to run away because he couldn't afford the £80, and we caught him..."

Benjamin paused, then suddenly remembered Jeff: "And then?"

"Avery originally just intended to teach him a lesson so he'd obediently go back and ask Robin for the money, but..." Pete scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I couldn't help myself and beat him to death."

"Couldn't resist?"

"Yeah, I couldn't resist."

Benjamin didn't continue, but Pete's meaning was clear: he was worried Jeff would cause him trouble, so he used Avery's name to get rid of Jeff.

In order to protect himself, he used the excuse that he "couldn't help himself" to take the blame for accidentally killing someone.

"Listen, Pete, I will find your daughter no matter what. It may sound harsh, but I want to find her alive or dead. Of course, if your daughter is dead, I will make sure that person suffers a fate worse than death."

Pete bit his lip and quickly nodded.

Although to outsiders, Benjamin appears to be younger than Pete, this statement...

An unknown weight suddenly rose within Pete, causing a long-lost smile to appear on his lips.

"As for the holy water..." Benjamin stopped in his tracks, waiting for Victor, who was cloaked, to approach. "Victor, you said you have everything, right?"

"Yes, what do you need?"

"Is there holy water?"

Pete was taken aback, muttering to himself, "He... he's an undead, how could he have holy water..."

"Yes, how much do you want..." After saying that, Victor immediately raised his hand, and three bottles of holy water of different shapes and sizes appeared in his palm.

"This is basic holy water, you can buy it anywhere, it's very cheap, 18 shillings; this bottle is specially made by sorcerers or alchemists, 8 pounds 5 shillings; this bottle..." Victor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some difficulty, "I'll just give you 25 pounds."

Pete's mouth gaped open; he could hardly believe that Victor, an undead being of evil origin, would have holy water on his body.

"25 pounds? What kind of holy water is this?"

"It's holy water, but if you really want to distinguish it, this one is actually drawn from a holy spring. However, if you only want to remove evil marks or infections, I suggest you just buy the basic holy water. Buy five bottles and get one free."

"That's perfect. Give me 20 bottles of basic holy water."

"OK."

As the two clasped hands, Benjamin felt a gentle breeze carrying a slight weight brush against his fingertips the instant the two storage rings drew near.

A short while later, he sensed that 24 bottles of basic holy water had appeared in his storage ring.

Then, with a thought, he sent 18 pounds (equivalent to 360 shillings) over.

"Victor, why do I feel that the items you teleport are so smooth, even with so many bottles of holy water? But when I'm just dealing with currency, it feels a bit laggy."

"Ah~ because Benjamin, your ring is too... ordinary. In this world, there are countless high-end rings. If you want to buy one, I can recommend a few to you."

Are there any products that are both cheap and effective?

"...Benjamin, you get what you pay for. Don't let greed blind you. I don't sell inferior products."

"Okay, give me some advice."

"If you're looking for a ring that won't cause any issues when trading small items and that can be bound to its owner, then £5000 would be the most suitable price for you."

"..."

"Of course, if you only require no lag and don't need to be bound to a master, the cheapest option is £2400."

"Alright, that's enough."

Pete pulled Benjamin aside: "Wait, Benjamin, didn't you say he was from the Hod family? Why do you need to make a deal?"

Benjamin laughed and said, "You don't know, the Hod family has very complicated factions. Even brothers keep clear accounts; that's the rule."

Benjamin doesn't plan to let others know the truth for the time being, since his cooperation with Victor concerns his future, and it's best to be cautious.

"Take these bottles of holy water and give them to the soldiers. Tell them to use them sparingly and not waste them. Consider it extra reward for this operation."

Benjamin handed two bottles to Pete.

Following Benjamin's instructions, Pete told the soldiers that upon receiving the holy water, everyone was completely bewildered.

Where can you find such a good boss who not only provides attendance pay but also takes care of his subordinates' injuries?

"Thank you, Lieutenant!"

"I never expected the Hod family to be so generous. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about Viktor!"

"That's right! As long as Benjamin is a second lieutenant, I'll stay in the guard regiment!"

Benjamin smiled and quickly opened a bottle of holy water to 'disinfect' his injuries.

*Bang!*

However, the moment they opened it, Benjamin froze, Pete was stunned, and John immediately sensed something was wrong.

Looking up, all the soldiers froze in place, as if they had discovered a treasure.

This smell is so strong!

It has an extremely rich and mellow fragrance that instantly evokes beautiful images such as flowers, the sea, mountains, snow, and sunshine.

In short, it's a delightful experience.

Benjamin found it hard to believe, because truly good products don't need explanation; you can tell just by looking at them and smelling them.

"Victor, is this really... a basic form of holy water?"

Victor covered his mouth and nose and nodded: "That's right. In all my years in business, I've never made the silly mistake of taking the wrong goods. This is just ordinary holy water; in some places, you can even get it for free at the altar."

"If you intend to draw the holy water from the sacred spring, I will certainly evacuate several miles first."

Seeing Victor's discomfort, Benjamin was convinced that it was indeed holy water.

"Damn it! What kind of rubbish do those swindlers at the monastery sell? I could pour water into this and it would be better than that holy water!"
