Chapter 67: Letter of Allegiance

Ekz stood up in a tattered apprentice robe, and before he could figure out the situation around him, he heard someone say he wanted to kill him. How arrogant! He forced himself to look at the person approaching.

Ivan trotted closer, and he saw Ekz's current appearance clearly.

His body became bloated, and his neck and arms were cracked and had snake scales that were initially mixed with keratin. The python head behind his shoulder was one-third stronger. The python head blocked the front at the critical moment just now, and the hissing sound it made was weak.

Ivan held the sword in one hand and the spell material he picked out from the medicinal materials in the other hand. He chose to act directly without saying a word.

‘Vine entanglement’

With the last half of the spell, he threw the spell material to the right position in front.

A black vine quickly stretched out and wrapped around Ekz like a chain.

At the same time, Ekz also cast the spell "Thunder Whisker", which made the long sword in his hand entangled with shining lightning. The long sword was slightly deformed in the previous interception, but it did not affect its sharpness.

The long sword slashed at the vines that were entangled.

The lightning cut through the darkness.

The black vines were broken into two sections.

Toins' evaluation of the vine entanglement was that it was highly plastic. Ivan remembered and carried forward this point. The broken vines did not dissipate, but still floated and entangled, one section entangled Ekz's arm, and the other section entangled the black python head.

The python head was indeed severely injured just now and could not avoid the vine entanglement.

Ekz swung the sword twice slowly, cutting the vine that tried to entangle his arm into four sections and turning it into energy particles again.

"Swoosh!"

Following the vines came Ivan's stab.

Under the apprentice robe, he was wrapped in a thin layer of fighting spirit, as if he was wearing a close-fitting black gauze dress. With light steps, he stabbed out his strongest sword, which was the killer move of the Eye of the Bat, the 'Bat Round Dance Stab'.

The two swords collided, making a crisp sound.

The Quillen sword in Ivan's hand cleverly moved in a circle along with the elastic force, and the tip of the sword still stabbed into Ekz's heart.

Such a familiar sword!

Ekz's injury was more serious than it looked on the surface. He tried to move his body but it was too late. A figure inexplicably emerged in his mind, and that figure also stabbed him with such an amazing sword. He moved away at the beginning.

The tip of the sword pierced through the heart.

Ekz opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, and Ivan held the hilt of the sword and turned it hard, cutting off the last ray of life.

Ivan drew out the Quillen sword and stabbed Ekz who was falling to the ground. He cut off the head of the python that was still struggling, and then stabbed it again. He couldn't be alive like this.

"Damn Ivan, you dare to kill Ekz, Wizard Toins will not let you go." The little green-winged snake sounded angrily. Because Birler was nearby, it didn't dare to get close.

It was already killed, what else could it do.

This was Ivan's first time killing someone. Perhaps he had experienced too many things, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

He ignored Lar, squatted down and looked into Ekz's pocket. He found a book and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

"Interesting." Birler glanced at the little green-winged snake.

Seeing that he was alone, the little green-winged snake couldn't stay and ran away directly. It wanted to go back and tell Wizard Toins all the information. Birler was very difficult to deal with at the moment.

Perhaps because he had accepted the pledge of allegiance, Birler no longer stared at Ivan with a covetous look.

"This is the access token for the laboratory. The password is 'Lal is a great snake'."

Ivan took the initiative to throw the copper token over and told Lal the password he set.

"A stupid thing." Birrell took it with one hand and swam to the side with his huge body.

The remaining two could only follow quickly.

A minute or two later, Birrell dived into a pool without a sound, leaving the two people who followed dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

The two waited patiently for a long time, and there was no ripple in the pool.

Purney said faintly: "Now we have become worthless pawns."

Ivan subconsciously retorted: "A worthless pawn is not a pawn." After saying that, he realized that this was exactly what they were in.

The two looked at each other and realized that Birrell was not going to care about them, and they were temporarily free.

"What should we do?" Purnie patted her head. The situation was getting more and more confusing. "Why don't we guard the boat and wait for the right time to seize the boat and get out of this sea area."

"Let's wait until dawn. I'm afraid that Billel will be impatient to make a big fuss after getting what he wants." Ivan knew that he couldn't escape the island by seizing the boat, and it was not easy to seize the boat.

The two did not dare to stay by the pond. Since they had no destination, they walked slowly.

"You hid so well. I didn't expect you to be a knight. The last sword was very good."

"Just don't tell everyone."

Purnie suggested: "Take you to a place that is safer than wandering around here."

"Okay."

Ivan nodded in agreement.

What Ivan didn't expect was that Purnie took him to the ruins behind the castle, away from the castle.

"Let's stay at the edge, one of the places I hid before." Penny led him to a collapsed wall, and then to the left and right, and finally to a crack in the ground that collapsed, and came to a narrow cave.

The cave was obviously made by humans, with a small entrance and a wide interior.

"You are so brave." Ivan didn't know what to say. This place was definitely a dangerous building among dangerous buildings. If you are not careful, there will be many collapses. It is simply a perfect place to bury yourself alive.

"My courage was trained here." Pernie sat on the dry grass on the ground, leaning against the cave.

Thinking that she was a noble lady with luxurious clothes and food before, Ivan was silent. It was all Toins's fault. No wonder Billel wanted to stab him so much. In fact, Ivan also wanted to stab him a few times, but unfortunately his strength did not allow it.

A new day.

A little dim light passed through the cracks in the ground, and Ivan knew that the sky should be bright.

"Wake up."

He noticed the slight movement, listened carefully, and found that the surrounding mountain walls were faintly shaking, and hurriedly woke up Pernie who was still sleeping.

Pernie looked at Ivan with a serious expression in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"I heard a noise, and the surroundings are shaking."

"You think too much. I tell you that even if it looks like it's going to collapse, I've secretly dealt with it. It won't fall down that easily. This place is not caused by a collapse, but some kind of attack. The surroundings are very stable."

Purney didn't hear the noise he said, so she naturally didn't believe it and thought he was too worried.

Ivan wouldn't tell her that he had outstanding hearing. He didn't argue with her. He directly showed his attitude with his actions and walked out of the cave and climbed up the crack in the ground.

"Follow me."

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

Purney looked at him a little crazy and followed him helplessly.

As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw Ivan rushing towards her, and she was thrown back into the cave without preparation.

Before Purney could curse, she heard a "boom" outside, and the broken rocks and walls fell into the crack in the ground. The little light in the cave disappeared. This time she heard continuous vibrations, and the ground around her was shaking constantly.

Obviously, there was a big noise outside.
