Water and Fire Twins Magician

Chapter 183 Investigation

Of course, their harmless image can only be used to deceive competitors from the other two camps.

The students of Teikyo Academy knew that Fei'er was a water magician who should not be underestimated. Fei'er had no intention of hiding this fact, otherwise, before the trial began, the water wall technique that cut off the icicles might have to be used in a different way.

The magician's lack of melee combat ability is made up by the two super spare tires, the Lira brothers.

This group won first place in last year's frozen abyss excavation, and was just one step away from completing the trial. Although they were not very noticeable at the time, no one paid much attention to their actual performance, but based on the fact that they won first place by overwhelming Sacred Heart Academy, their strength must be not too bad.

The reason why Gandalf looked at Faile differently was that she could disguise different levels of strength in front of different people.

Even with Gandalf's keen eyesight, if he had not seen her shine as "Coffee", it would be hard for him to imagine that her current delicate and helpless young lady was just an act.

"This girl must have been born in a wealthy family." Gandalf speculated, "It's not difficult to pretend to be stupid and slow, but the difficult part is that she chose to play the role of a young lady, and she did it well. Only by receiving strict etiquette training since childhood can one exude such a convincing and elegant aura in every gesture. A magic apprentice pretending to be a lady without being out of place, so in this case, she is indeed very similar to you, haha."

As for Rob, he was a showman by nature, and now he could do it easily, but he just increased the range of his already exaggerated and gorgeous movements. Although he didn't have the acting skills of Faye and Jacques, under their protection, no one would doubt Rob as long as his acting skills were acceptable.

The real test was for the Lira brothers. With their straightforward and all-out personalities, it was difficult for them to retain their strength. But they obeyed Faye's orders. Since it was her request, the brothers did not say anything. They just kept their heads down picking up the fragments, occasionally throwing one or two punches but deliberately throwing them off target, and spent more time observing whether there were any suspicious people in the other two camps.

After two days, the Lira brothers had an understanding of the trial-takers from the two camps.

"The public camp is a bit strange." Fili said, "It seems that half of the trial participants belong to the same group."

"It's not surprising. In the past, there have been chambers of commerce that hired mercenaries to dig for treasure. After all, the treasures produced here have a certain value in the market." Fei'er said.

"Ha, mercenaries, they could be from the Laputa Mercenaries." Gandalf said, "But the treasures in this frozen abyss are not valuable, and I'm not sure how many of our people will appear here."

But Fili continued, "I know they could be mercenaries, but that group of people seems so disciplined. They act in unison and cooperate well. They seem even more disciplined than the Imperial Army guarding here."

This suspicious team was not far from Jacques and his men, and was within their sight. They were lined up in a row, digging, transporting, and sorting in a meticulous and orderly manner, just like the assembly line work in a factory. The consistency and tacit understanding of this action were indeed not something that ordinary people could achieve with just a few words of discussion.

"Have they done anything unusual?"

Fili shook his head. "Not yet. I didn't even see any of them talking. Everyone was concentrating on digging the ice core."

"Are they also targeting the raw water?" Fei'er thought while biting her lower lip.

"That doesn't seem likely. They are only digging along the outer edge of the ice core, digging the easier parts. They don't seem to have any intention of digging deeper. And they are digging very slowly. At this speed, they will definitely not be able to dig the core before the end of the trial."

"This group of people might affect the situation. We have to think carefully about their possible intentions..." Fei'er and the others continued to discuss.

And Jacques was whispering to Gandalf.

"It looks like he is definitely not from the mercenary group. Boy, have you thought of something?" Gandalf asked.

"I feel like I've seen their expressions, especially their eyes, somewhere before... I think of the Church of Light, but I don't have any evidence for now," said Jacques.

"Do you think they are fanatics of the Church of Light? But they don't seem to be. Fanatics always look like they are bathed in holy light, but they are not."

"Although I don't know what a fanatic is, isn't it possible for someone to fake the state you described? Since one can pretend to be bathed in holy light, why can't one pretend not to be bathed in holy light?"

The one who Jacques mentioned, disguised as being bathed in holy light, was naturally the extraordinary man who became a cardinal by transforming into an undead lich.

"Do you suspect that the fat guy is the mastermind behind this group of people? With his power and financial resources, there's no need for him to compete with you for such a small thing."

"That's true..." Jacques nodded.

"But your guess does make sense. Even if it's not Paul, we can't rule out other people from the Church of Light. But in a novice trial field like this, their threat is not necessarily greater than that of the people from the Sacred Heart Academy."

When he came to his senses, Jacques found that Fei'er and the others were no longer discussing this group of suspicious people.
