"Hercules, move aside so it'll be easier to get out later."

"Hera~"

At the very top center of the hall, two figures were lying there furtively.

A drone is positioned on a protruding part of the opposite rock wall, providing a panoramic view of the area.

That's right, this is the location we found. The drone will keep monitoring, and being in the middle ensures that we can take action from anywhere.

"3D Dragon, Unit 2, sneak in."

It took us more than twenty minutes to get in and here, so we need to hurry.

The drone flew smoothly into the cell, skimming over the top, and landed in place awaiting instructions.

"Run behind me and make some noise... Be ready to dodge at any time."

For the sake of the plan, Xiong Meng needed to come in and see if communication was possible. If it was, things would be convenient; if not…

That could be very risky.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Under the control of 3D Dragon, the drone successfully flew behind them, which may be because the other party kept covering their face.

By briefly activating the flight sound, the other party's attention was successfully attracted.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Damos looked at the drone with surprise and confusion, while Xiong Meng, who was about to speak, was suddenly stunned.

Because the drone was transmitting Mandarin, and it was very standard Mandarin!

This is absolutely outrageous.

"If we're friends, keep your voices down!"

Seeing that Damos was about to speak again, Xiong Meng quickly spoke first.

"Oh, so you're friends."

Damos was startled when he heard the sound, and instinctively used his body to block it, making the sound a little softer.

You actually believed that...?

"I'm about to tell you something very important, and you must remember it."

Looking into those pure eyes, Xiong Meng felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Arceus will come to take the Life Jewel in a while. A red-haired guy will hypnotize you to deceive him, and then use a pre-prepared trap to deal with Arceus."

"Redhead? It must be Qixin... Why would he do this?!"

After hearing the iron bird's speech, Damos was stunned for a moment before realizing what it meant, and then he was somewhat incredulous.

"No, how could Arceus be fooled? He's that strong."

This is something that could bring prosperity to a country with just a few stones; it's unrealistic to just casually get rid of it.

"What if you were the one inviting them in? And please watch the video!"

Before Damos could even think, Drone No. 2 projected the trap that had just been recorded.

"......."

After reading it, Damos fell silent.

"I should have realized this long ago. All that talk about safety and experimentation is just an excuse. Qixin has been preparing for this all along..."

Even without seeing the future, the facts are already there, and then there's the thought of why I'm locked up.

"Don't be sad yet. Time is running out. Let me tell you about the plan."

Xiong Meng was also a little scared when he saw Damos's painful appearance. "Brother, don't turn evil."

What will happen to those elves then? He can't possibly deal with them one by one.

"Don't worry, I'm fine..."

Just as Xiong Meng was getting worried, Damos waved his hand, indicating that he should continue.

He didn't want to believe what an iron bird said, but he couldn't gamble either, plus everything was connected.

It's all for the precious jade of life...

"I don't have the key, so just pretend nothing happened. After you're hypnotized, I'll wake you up, and then you should immediately calm down the attacking monster."

"So, Arceus will be harmed?! Couldn't this have been resolved beforehand?!"

Upon hearing this, he became anxious; how could he allow Arceus to get hurt?

"If I had that kind of power, it wouldn't be Iron Bird coming to you."

Xiong Meng calmly made a sarcastic remark, while inwardly feeling utterly speechless.

Doesn't he want to simply push through? His strength is there, and it's all his fault.

He was truly impressed that a leader with such high prestige and reputation could have his base raided by a red-haired man.

"I'm sorry... I will proceed according to plan when the time comes."

Damos realized he was getting a little anxious, so he said something and sat down.

Feeling depressed and angry.

"Don't worry, if all goes well, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Leaving a message behind, the drone returned along the same route and saw the curious gaze of the old gatekeeper at the entrance.

"·····"

After a tense standoff of more than ten seconds, the old man slowly sat back down.

"Sigh, I'm getting old, my eyesight isn't good anymore."

Xiong Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and 3D Dragon quickly controlled the drone to fly away, finding a new location to continue monitoring the area.

After the drone left, the old man looked up and relaxed a bit.

"Lord Damos... Lord Kishin..."

He heard everything we were talking about and knew everything.

No wonder Lord Damos sometimes acts strangely, especially lately, he's been here a lot.

He also knew why he was here: because everyone else was going home, but he had no family.

"That's not right... Lord Damos... Lord Kishin isn't bad..."

We have seen what you two have done. Lord Qixin is just worried... worried that we will go back to the days of not having enough to eat or wear...

As she spoke, tears welled up and streamed down her face.

As an old man who had experienced everything, he could understand Lord Qixin's thoughts.

Everything is for the people...

"I know, but what isn't ours isn't ours, and we can't betray our friends' trust."

If Qixin really does that, I will personally pull him back!

The old man turned around in surprise, and what he saw was a familiar expression, as if he were seeing Lord Damos from the very beginning.

Confident, cheerful, and reassuring.

"...Even so, I don't have the key here."

The old man's words almost made Damos lose his composure.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you have to trust my friend!"

Where it couldn't be seen, her two hands were clenched tightly.

My friend, if it's true, then everything depends on you.

Xiong Meng, who keeps staring: an elderly man on the subway.jpg

These two must be crazy; one is so carelessly exposed, and the other is practically unguarded.

What an excellent matchmaking mechanism!

"Forget it, I can revive anyway, and someone else will take care of it afterward. At worst, I won't get the reward."

Despite Xiong Meng's constant vigilance, his thinking has never changed.

Having a system is fine, not having one isn't a big problem either, we won't starve anyway.

He's already arrived in the world of spirits, and he's content. He'll leave the rest to fate.

·······

After waiting for more than ten minutes, footsteps were heard not far away, and Red-haired Qixin walked in with two elves.

A large, floating, blue bell with various patterns; a bronze bell.

The four-legged, steel, red behemoth, Shreklann.

"Lord Damos, Arceus is coming. I hope you can speak to him and ask to borrow the Life Stone for a while longer."

Qixin held a cane in his right hand, the head of which was made of metal in the shape of flower petals.

The precious gem of life is inside.

"How long do you need to borrow it?"

Damos's question startled Chisin, who thought he had finally understood and excitedly replied.

"Just a few more decades... no, a few hundred years would be enough!"

"We can build very well without the Jewel of Life."

Damos's calm voice came again, this time he raised his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Qi Xin's excited expression froze, and his disappointed eyes struck him to the core.

"It seems Lord Damos still hasn't figured it out. The bronze bell! Hypnosis!"
