Unexpected Reinforcements

After hiding behind the rock, Benjamin knocked on it gently and said softly, "Come out of there, I’m Benjamin, why are you here?"

Instantly, the two people who were hiding in the rock looked extremely shocked.

They tilted the rock together and wormed out from the gap underneath the rock. Then, both of them stood next to each other and looked at Benjamin up and down with an odd look, they looked at each other again then nodded in the end.

"Yes, it’s really him, not a disguise from the Church."

Benjamin said helplessly, "If I’m a disguise from the Church, you’d both be dead by now, you know?"

"Be careful, it’s not so convenient to hold a conversation here, let's hide further away first," The taller mage turned around and took a glance at the encirclement then said softly.

Although Benjamin was very curious about them being there, they were truly quite close to the encirclement, it would be too dangerous to stay put. It would be better if they talked somewhere further away.
