"There must be some kind of illusion in this ruin that allows people to see what they want." Pan Da continued, "I've read several ancient books about the Moon God Clan before, but I always felt that the other things here were not related to the Moon God Clan. How could there be such a book out of nowhere? In the end, I checked it with my magic and found out that I was fooled."
Roddy and Pan Da did not know that they were comparing their acting skills. Roddy immediately expressed his amazement after listening, but he did not show any intention to join the "Moon God Clan". Instead, he said, "The Moon God Sterian is really more powerful than the other gods! Heh, even I, a non-believer, am a little surprised. But I … am too talkative. If I believe in religion, I'm afraid I will always say something inappropriate. Forget it. "
After chatting for a while, the attitude between the two forces was not as stiff as before. At this time, Pan Da asked, "Charlie, has anyone said that you look like —"
"Like the Prime Minister, right?"
Roddy answered without changing his expression. Then he stood up, straightened his hat, cleared his throat, and tried to pretend to speak in a northern accent. "Today, I would like to thank all the members of the Dragons for participating in this meeting! The peace of the Kingdom of Karen and even the whole world will depend on our joint efforts in the future! That — "
Before he could finish his words, Iscar threw a stone at him. "Are you addicted to pretending? If only you could be as quiet as Prime Minister Roddy. Can't you just stay quiet for a while? "
Roddy caught the stone and instantly changed back to his original wretched look. He no longer straightened his back, and his expression became slippery. "If it wasn't for 'Age of Karen', I really wouldn't know that I look so similar to the Prime Minister. Not to mention, there were several times when I went to the tavern to eat, but they didn't accept my money! Haha, I won't be a mercenary in the future. I'm afraid I won't starve to death even if I go to this place to eat and drink! "
"If you talk so much nonsense, I'll fire you when we get back."
Kardashian suddenly interrupted. Roddy smiled awkwardly and retreated to the side. "Yes, yes, you're right. I won't say anymore. Cough."
Roddy deliberately acted as "Roddy", which made Pan Da feel relieved. After all, he had never seen what the real Prime Minister looked like. The picture in the newspaper was definitely different from the real person. But no matter how he thought about it, how could a dignified Prime Minister give up his position of power and come here to explore the ruins with a wretched face?
Although the mercenaries in this team were a little strange, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious about them.
Just as they were talking, a "clang" sound came from not far away. Everyone quickly got up and realized that the members of the first group were running back covered in dust. Rubens was at the back, and he was covered in dirt. "Pfft, pfft, pfft. Damn it, I almost fell on him!"
It turned out that when they were digging, the part above them suddenly collapsed. If it weren't for Rubens's timely reminder, the others would have been crushed to death.
Such a situation made everyone look at each other. Pan Da turned to look at Kardashian. "Leader Kardashian, in this situation … Why don't all the spellcasters keep an eye on them and do our best to protect them from digging?"
"Sure."
Kardashian agreed and exchanged a secret look with Roddy and Rubens.
Pan Da didn't know that this was actually part of Roddy's plan. They disguised themselves as mercenaries and were trapped here. Their main purpose was to carefully understand what was going on with this "Moon God Clan."
Originally, the ruins were bound to collapse, but Black Dragon Herrlöw Rubens just lifted his hand and the so-called disaster was easily resolved. As for the "small-scale collapse" at this time, it was him who had deliberately caused it …
Three mages and two priests came to the front of the team. Rubens and the others patted the soil away. Because the place was narrow, only four people could dig at a time. The other five spellcasters began to use their own spells and divine spells to help carry the soil.
The elementalists' method was to use "Magician's Hand" plus elemental reinforcement to prevent the structure from collapsing after digging. Pan Da chanted a prayer. With the casting of divine spells, several people who were digging were instantly shrouded in silver light …
Rubens raised his head in surprise. "What is this? I feel like I've become much stronger. "
Essien easily lifted a huge rock that weighed more than a hundred kilograms with both hands. The two ordinary mercenaries next to him also learned from him, and their efficiency suddenly increased a lot. Roddy looked on curiously. "Hey! Is it really that amazing? "
"You'll know when you move it!"
Rubens replied impatiently. Listening to their conversation, Pan Da had already dispelled all doubts in his heart. He just treated them as ordinary mercenaries. For this reason, he focused all his energy on "how to get out".
It was obviously not enough to cast divine spells on the mercenaries. Pan Da estimated the time. Under the most ideal situation, they could only advance about ten meters in a day.
From here to the entrance of the cave was at least thirty meters, and no one knew what the situation outside the cave was. If the canyon was filled up, then their chances of survival were very slim. Because there was not enough food, everyone could only survive for three to five days before starving to death.
Such a deduction was very cruel, but it was indeed the most likely reality. It was just that Pan Da did not dare to say it casually … The morale of the team was still high, and there were no sharp conflicts between the two sides. The longer this situation could be maintained, the better. If there was an internal conflict because of some small matter, then perhaps the last bit of hope would be shattered.
Pan Da thought for a long time, and only came back to his senses when Kardashian called him. "Leader Pan Da, it should be night now. Let's organize the team for dinner."
"Oh, okay."
After the first team took turns, the second team began to dig. Iscar stepped forward and stretched his arms, and began to pick up the pickaxe. Rubens wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a water bag, and poured it into his mouth. In the end, after drinking two mouthfuls, it was snatched away by Roddy. "Drink less!"
Rubens looked like he was about to lose his temper. Kardashian glanced at him. "Charlie is right. Save it."
"Yes, leader."
He replied in a low voice, and then became silent.
Pan Da stepped forward to smooth things over. "My team has brought more water. If necessary, you can allocate a few water bags. Now that everyone is facing a difficult situation, we need to work together to get out, right? "
Regarding this show of goodwill, Kardashian naturally had to show some gratitude with a smile. Roddy squatted at the side, eating jerky with his hat askew. He was trying to curry favor with Natha. But the latter's face was stiff, and it seemed like she did not want to talk to him. On the side, Essien retracted his hands into his sleeves, and leaned against the collapsed stone slab to take a nap. His face was full of sweat and dirt.
This was probably just a "grassroots" mercenary group. If it was not for Julia, a high-level mage, they probably would not even have the ability to enter this place.
They did not have any hostility, and it was obvious that they had not experienced many battles. They looked very young, but this kind of people would probably not be alive after three years.
Pan Da evaluated the strength of this group of mercenaries in his mind, and began to eat his food without worry. He ate quickly. Glancing at the members of the second group who were still digging, Pan Da said, "I'll go and pray first. It's night now, and I hope that the Moon God can hear my prayers."
The Mages did not object. After all, these few mages had shown their strength before. Pan Da confirmed his position in the cave, knelt towards the western wall, and began to softly recite a prayer. Everyone went back to eating and drinking, and it seemed like no one cared what the two priests were chanting. But of course, they did not know that Roddy and the others narrowed their eyes, carefully reading the High Elves' prayer.
