Chapter 45 Embarrassment in the Well

That night, residents around the battle area thought there was a small earthquake, and then cracks appeared on the building that looked like a prison or a fortress.

"What?!" Luos was shocked when he was rummaging through boxes and stealing several documents upstairs.

"Will the battle below reach this level? Or-"

The whole building was in chaos. Luos did not reflexively rush to where his teammates were. Instead, he quickly rushed to the window, jumped from the third floor with a diving leap, and landed steadily with extremely superb physical skills.

.

People who ran into the courtyard due to the shock saw a man falling to the ground with a "whoop" and almost pulled out their weapons without thinking.

Looking at the unknown appearance and the timing, it looks like an intruder, but don't move around until you know what's going on. In short, as a mercenary, you should be on guard first. This is how it feels.

Luos was not polite about this, and he disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"clank!"

No one saw where he went, because they were all killed instantly by two small daggers.

Luos distinguished the figures around him, avoided everyone's sight, and returned to the entrance to the basement, but he couldn't get in because the back had collapsed.

The fact that it could collapse to this extent without greatly affecting the building itself may indicate that it was originally set up this way when it encountered problems.

"Everyone, make sure everything is okay." Luos prayed in his heart and began to retreat.

Depending on the mission situation - for example, when taking the initiative to fight against a large group and invade the opponent's stronghold, not all members will be responsible for fighting. If something goes wrong with the team responsible for fighting, the members who are not fighting and staying away from the battlefield must retreat safely.

.

In a very inconspicuous well behind the courtyard, a stone on one side of the well's inner wall was suddenly knocked off by a tree root protruding from inside, and several little goblins emerged from it.

Luna: "Lalva, even if you want it to 'self-destruct' to remove the unnatural traces, exploding and burying it is too much."

Larva: "Aha, I was responsible for the explosion, but I really didn't expect that there would actually be a self-destruct mechanism buried on the spot, and it was activated because of the accidental explosion caused by the fire in the inner room."

"Hmph." Crownpiss took the tree roots back into her body, "If I hadn't been here, wouldn't everyone have been buried alive?"

"If none of us had come, not a single troublesome thing would have happened." Star said with a smile.

"Ugh——" Crounpis otzed.

Indeed, if only this team came, they should be able to solve the problem smoothly. All the problems were caused by the goblins, and the majority of the problems caused by Crounpith.

"It's okay. In fact, I know earth magic. Even without Pisi, I can move some ground away. Even if Pisi can't help, it'll be fine." Larva seemed to comfort him.

"Come on, is this a sarcasm?" Crounpis said awkwardly.

"However, human beings are really amazing. They are fine so far. They all found out that they are coming out. Although I set up some roadblocks..." Sunny, the last one to climb out, said.

"Star, go up and take a look. If there's no problem, we'll leave." Clawnpith urged.

Perception is very useful, but visual confirmation is also very important. I don’t want to cause any more trouble.

"Yes, yes." Star casually flew up, took a look, lowered his head and whispered softly, "That guerrilla is paying attention to this area. Wow, he is extremely vigilant at this time? Although he has not been discovered yet -

Activate [Total Agnosticization] and leave."

"But how do you explain this hole?" Luna noticed the details and asked.

"Let them guess for themselves. A lot of the bosses of the mercenary group have died. It wouldn't be surprising if any of the remaining people don't know about the hidden secret passage. Thanks to Pisi's ability, the cave wall doesn't look like it was made by magic."

Yes, this can be considered an unexpected benefit." Larva replied softly.

"Okay then, let's go, activate [Expanded Magic Effect Range·Completely Unknowable]. Well...this wall is so slippery, Star, come and give me a hand."

Crounpisi, who was down there, couldn't hold on to the wall of the well, so she waved her arms and shouted softly upwards.

"Pisi, you came here yourself."

"I'm calling you because I can't climb up! Are you asking us to stack Arhats? Are you asking me to summon part of my body here?"

"Can't you just use your own vines? Pisi won't forget it, right?"

"...Of course I haven't forgotten it, I just didn't think of it!" Crounpisi angrily summoned vines to pull her up.

The other goblins also "climbed" up one by one.

"It was such a close call, I almost got crushed by that uncle's heel." Sunny, who was the last one to start "climbing", wiped away the non-existent sweat.

"By the way, the warriors and priests are quite burly, and the hole is so small, how can they come out... wow?!"

There was a sudden explosion behind Sunny, and she was so "scared" that she quickly climbed up with other goblins along the vines on her hands and knees, and soon hit Luna's butt in front of her.

"You are so messy? Use martial arts to blow up the entrance of the cave?! What should I do if it collapses? Hey, Luna, hurry up!"

"It can't be faster."

"Our level is probably more than twice that of those inferior creatures. Why is it so slow?"

"But you can't do things you haven't done before! Who dug the well? This hole is too narrow even for us! Which one is blocking the top?"

"...I." Crounpis blushed.

"Pissy, I'm sorry, is it easy to control this kind of vine?"

"How do you want me to control the vines to 'sway naturally' without outsiders noticing anything wrong?" Cronpis blamed.

"Hey! They're catching up! That elf is so powerful. If he catches up, he'll reach my calf! Hurry up!" Sunny yelled in fright.

Anyway, [complete agnosticism] is still there, it doesn’t matter.

"No! The guerrilla has already arrived at the wellhead! Can we just knock them all unconscious and use spiritual magic to deal with them?" Larva shouted.

"Can't Larva's 'wings' be used to fly? Take us with you!"

"It's impossible to spread the 'big wings' in such a narrow place!"

"Are you going to kill me?" Star said happily, "The guerrillas have arrived at the mouth of the well!"

"Star, you can fly too, take me with you!" Clawnpis shouted.

"No, no," Star, who was squatting next to Luos who just ran over, shook his hand, "If this kind of thing can't be solved, how will everyone live in the future?"

"Although it makes sense, I feel like you're laughing at us, Star? It's obviously just luck that you got the flying magic." Luna pouted to express her displeasure.
