Chapter 57 Sudden changes
Chapter 57 Sudden changes
From Penny, Ivan learned a lot of information about Birrell.
Birrell is the only apprentice with fifth-level talent. He is gentle, diligent and studious. He is simply a born winner in life.
Birrell was now a wild animal, a madman, with a changed character, and he might have joined hands with the thief.
Given Birrell's current situation, he must stir up trouble, kill Toins, and eliminate the source of the curse power.
Secondly, there are warning magic arrays arranged around the castle, which can interfere with the secret magic marks and provide a certain degree of protection for the castle. Now it is safer inside the castle than outside the castle.
She explained that she had walked into the trap voluntarily and only wanted to come in to seek a way to suppress the curse. She also didn't want to be caught as Biller's accomplice.
Now, she is imprisoned near Ekz's residence, further to the right, and is guarded by cloud servants. The guarding is not very strict, so she can be rescued in the chaos.
"If we can't solve the curse, solving the source of the curse is indeed a good idea."
Holding the silent secret seal bead, Ivan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and then he shook his head.
After hearing the story of his apprentice Aaron, he suffered from insomnia, which was rare for him, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
The wizard's apprentice had a different spirit and was still full of energy the next day.
"Laurie doesn't dare to show off now. He is probably concentrating on training to catch up with you sooner. We dare not slack off either. We hope to break through to the second-class apprentice. Talent is really a good thing."
In the cafeteria, Jiushi was talking about what was happening around her as usual.
Life in the castle was extremely monotonous, and apart from some minor conflicts between them, there was nothing much to say.
Ivan said, "Be careful recently."
"Why do you say that?"
"A few days ago, I saw that the Penny you mentioned was captured by Lal."
"What? You mean Penny—"
Hearing his words, Jiushi let out a low cry, and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.
He just casually reminded that the big event that Pernie mentioned might not necessarily happen, and even if something did happen, it might be easily suppressed by Wizard Toins. Somehow, he was vaguely looking forward to this day.
……
The next few days were peaceful until the evening of that day.
There were two figures in the jungle not far from the castle, one was a giant human-faced snake, and the other was a four-armed ape, one big and one small, both looking at the ground covered with fallen leaves in front of them, underneath which lay the fruits of their hard work over the past few days.
"You go first. Your identity is very important. You can't let him find you for the time being." The giant snake with a human face spoke in human language.
"Okay." The four-armed ape replied woodenly and walked out without looking back.
After the four-armed ape disappeared, the giant human-faced snake blew solemnly toward the ground. The wind blew along with the mist, taking away the thick fallen leaves and revealing a low loess altar underneath.
Regular patterns had already been engraved on the altar, and the blood used to engrave the patterns had not yet dried. The giant human-faced snake spat out something, a small piece of its arm, and dropped it onto the altar as a sacrifice.
The giant human-faced serpent felt that the sacrifice was not enough. His ears moved inexplicably a few times, and then fell off and landed on the altar.
After placing the offerings, the entire altar looked particularly strange.
"Like Duda Wang Duluka--"
The giant human-faced snake poked its head in front of the altar and chanted prayers from another world in a strange accent. As he chanted, the patterns on the altar came alive and blood flowed through them.
On the altar, ripples appeared in the air. The offerings began to shrivel, as if they had been drained of nutrients by something, and withered in the blink of an eye. In their place, a dark green mist flowed out from the void, and the mist increased and gathered into a ball, condensing above the altar and not dispersing.
"In the name of the blasphemer, Toins Perillo!"
The dark green mist became more and more conspicuous, and the light dissipated outside the jungle. The human-faced giant snake chanted faster and faster, and finally he shouted "Toins Perillo", as if pouring all his hatred into this sentence.
As soon as the words fell, the dark green mist received the order and transformed into a stream of light that flew out of the jungle and headed straight for the center of the castle.
"Toins, this time let me experience the feeling of being cursed and tortured, unable to live or die. Next time I will take your life, you damned wizard scum."
The giant human-faced serpent was not feeling well when he activated the altar. His face turned extremely pale. Affected by the deep green mist that was escaping from it, it felt like something was drilling in his face and flesh, squirming unconsciously.
He saw from afar that the dark green mist triggered the castle's alarm mechanism. He was not surprised at all. Finally, he looked at the castle with resentment, turned around and swam out of the jungle.
"Zizzizi."
On the castle wall, the energy particle membrane formed by the rune witch array blocked the incoming attack and a collision broke out.
This is a battle between energy and energy.
In less than a second, the attack broke through the barrier of the rune wizard formation. The energy particle membrane was still there, but most of the dark green mist penetrated into the castle and continued to shoot towards the central area of the castle.
"Look!"
"Holy Mother, someone came to attack Master Toins."
The battle in front of the rune wizard formation was so noisy that it alarmed the apprentices in the castle. Some of them went out to take a look, but were so scared that they hurried back to the house and closed the doors and windows.
Some people, such as Ivan, were brave enough to immediately find a position with a better view and watch quietly, wanting to see how things would develop and also wanting to witness the power of Wizard Toins.
"Wizard Toins, do you need me to intercept it?" At a higher position in the castle, the little green-winged snake appeared in front of Toins for the first time.
"Lal, get out of the way." Looking at the energy ball coming straight towards him, Toins' face was extremely solemn. He had been targeted, and no matter what, the opponent's attack would inevitably fall on him.
After taking a look at the laboratory behind him, Toins moved to the other side with a grim expression.
The lightning flashed, carrying a panic-stricken look.
The thunder gathered around Toins increased rapidly, and with a wave of his hand, the thunder turned into a destructive lightning, which cut through the sky and hit the oncoming dark green mist.
Under the stranglehold of thunder, the deep green mist shook violently, but it was extremely tenacious, with more than half of it remaining and rushing directly towards Toins.
At the critical moment, a protective shield appeared around Toins, and the shield was filled with frosty air. This was his innate witchcraft - the Blue Frost Shield, and it was also the wizard's last layer of defense.
"Boom."
The blue frost shield failed to completely block the dense air, causing Toins to take a few steps back and hit the wall behind him.
The impact did not cause him much harm, but his body involuntarily absorbed the dark green mist, which made his face look extremely ugly. Even a trace of light green lines appeared on his face, like scars.
"Lal, tell everyone to chase him. I want to extract his soul."
Toins staggered to his feet, took a few steps forward, and gave orders to the little green-winged snake.
"Yes, sir." The little green-winged snake immediately summoned the nearby cloud servants and flew down the mountain.
Toins stood where he was, and until he had calmed down the turbulent power in his body, he also rushed towards the castle.
