Chapter 63 New Exchange
Chapter 63 New Exchange
"Do you remember that Penny?" the little green-winged snake asked again without waiting for his answer.
Ivan nodded, having a bad feeling in his heart.
"She had contact with someone else through the secret mark before. Could that person be you?"
The next sentence confirmed Ivan's guess. Sure enough, the movement was noticed. No wonder he couldn't contact Penny in recent days.
He hurriedly explained, "Laer, after Perni was captured by you, I accidentally found a secret seal bead in the dormitory, and then I contacted her. I just wanted to get some information from her. I really didn't want to do anything else, and I didn't do anything unnecessary."
If he didn't explain clearly, he would be in big trouble if he was mistaken for being Birrell's accomplice.
The little green-winged snake did not attack: "I know, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand here safely."
Hearing its words, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the secret seal bead used for communication.
The little green-winged snake didn't answer. "Keep this thing to yourself. Pernie will come out and become your neighbor. Keep in touch with her. If someone contacts you through Pernie, you can give them the token and password."
Ivan was stunned. Was he going to become a spy?
Does Toins need a spy? The Curse of the Demonic Grudge is divided into a main curse and a secondary curse. The secondary curse was originally part of the main curse, and the secondary curse can be easily located through the main curse. Why didn't Toins go directly to Biller? Could it be that the information recorded was false?
Seeing that he didn't speak, the little green-winged snake emphasized: "Ivan, you are a smart person. You know who you should rely on and what to do, right?"
"Correct."
Ivan nodded again.
If he considers others at this time, who will consider himself? No one, just like before, Birrell knew that a large number of people would be involved, but he still attacked Toins. He also needs to live for himself.
"Very good." The little green-winged snake was satisfied with his answer and said proudly, "You don't have to worry about the safety of the castle. If they dare to show up, next time Wizard Toins won't have to take action. I will personally break their heads."
Ivan could sense the confidence in his words. It seemed that Wizard Toins wanted to lure the people out and then catch them all in one fell swoop. It was not surprising that Toins had this confidence. After all, Billel was only an apprentice and it was impossible for him to fight against a formal wizard once or twice.
There was no change in expression on his face, but all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, hoping to find a way out of the situation.
"Is this a stamina potion?"
The little green-winged snake found the potion on the table and flapped its wings lightly. The wind blew the small glass bottle in front of it. Its slender tongue extended into the small glass bottle, and the potion quickly decreased. It licked its lips with satisfaction:
"It has a bit of flavor, a little worse than Wizard Toines, no, at least three or five points."
Ivan couldn't deny that medicines were never evaluated based on taste: "This one counts as part of your 70%."
"Stingy human."
The little green-winged snake muttered something and flew out of the laboratory, taking Ivan's crystal ball with it.
After a while, it brought a reward, a spell book called "Insect Control", an additional course called "Elementary Common Energy Particle Research" in the crystal ball, and a jar of insect eggs.
Insect control is a special spell for controlling insects. It can collect adult insects, larvae or eggs, and use insect control to achieve the purpose of driving them away, among which eggs are the best.
After collecting the insect eggs, they use their own blood and magic power to incubate them. The hatched larvae can be easily engraved with magic contracts to achieve the purpose of controlling the insect swarm.
Prerequisites for learning this spell: elementary research on commonly used energy particles, basic courses on energy shaping.
The insect-controlling technique has a shortcoming: it can only control one type of insect at a time.
"You can only control one kind of insect at a time. It doesn't mean you can't control multiple kinds of insects. It should be fine to raise them separately." Ivan looked at the glass jar containing insect eggs. There were hundreds of insect eggs soaked in a sticky liquid, and there were small figures wriggling inside the eggshells.
It’s hard to tell whether he’s good or bad. Judging from Toines’s personality, he’s probably not a good person.
That night, Ivan received a message from Penny, the meaning of which was very clear.
"You've taken advantage of me. Your oath is void. I'm leaving now. Remember to pretend we don't know each other."
The next day, Ivan saw Pernie again. As the little green-winged snake said, Pernie became his neighbor and moved into the house on his right.
He had two neighbors, Axel on the left and Penny on the right. "Why, you don't recognize me?"
The Penny in front of him looked brand new. She exuded a sense of nobility or even delicacy. Her figure was curvy but not exaggerated. With her newly transformed green hair, she was like an elf that walked out of a storybook.
The left arm also seemed to have grown half way, which looked a little inconsistent.
Ivan retracted his gaze: "I remember someone specifically reminded us that we are not familiar with each other."
"You're not familiar with me, but you're still staring at me. Your eyes almost popped out of your head just now." Penny pouted. After seeing that the neighbor was Ivan, she had a different idea than last night. "Did someone find out?"
Ivan said vaguely: "Whatever you say."
It seems that she is not stupid. She knows that there is a reason why she was released. The reason is not difficult to guess. Toins' intention is too obvious.
"It's good to be under surveillance. We can maneuver around. When they beat our brains out, we can flee the island and no longer be oppressed here. I've had enough of this kind of life. I shouldn't have disobeyed my uncle's advice and insisted on learning meditation. As a result, I was fooled by Toins."
Perhaps because she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, Penny was very angry and started talking more when she saw him.
Ivan looked around and motioned for her to come inside to talk: "If you don't mind, come to my dormitory and sit down and we can talk."
"Then I'll give you some face."
Purney readily agreed, and after entering the house and sitting down, she began to talk about the issues that needed to be paid attention to when escaping.
“The strength of the cloud servants is no less than that of the second-class apprentices, but their existence is closely related to the magic array on the island. They are controlled by the rune magic array and cannot leave the vicinity of the island.
What you need to pay most attention to are the two puppets on the ship. Their fighting power is comparable to that of a powerful third-class apprentice. If you want to seize the ship, you must get rid of the puppets first.
As for the giant iron-edged turtle in the water, it is a product of laboratory blood synthesis. Although it looks big, it is actually just a not very smart laborer. It is afraid of people wearing wizard robes. Some tricks should make it obedient. "
In order to seize the ship and escape, Pernie observed for a long time and made some preparations.
But are you sure no one is monitoring or eavesdropping?
Looking at the green-haired lady who was talking nonstop, Ivan hesitated and wanted to remind her several times.
When she paused, Ivan asked, "What's going on with the rune magic circle on the island? I remember that Toins appeared not long ago." The clouds and fog surrounding the entire island should be caused by the magic circle. Logically speaking, such an arrangement would take quite some time.
"Have you seen the ruins behind the castle? It was originally a relic. The rune magic array covering the island is part of the relic. Toins is just a latecomer. He found the island and modified the rune magic array to claim it as his own."
"Can you beat Lal?"
"Maybe I can give it a try."
After careful consideration, Purney gave an unsure answer. She waved her hand and said, "We don't need to worry about Lal. He will definitely go to help Toins. Let Birrell handle it. What we need to do is wait for Birrell to attack us, and then take the opportunity to escape from the castle and the island."
Ivan sighed and said, "In the end, it depends on the situation. Let's see if Biller can resist Toins."
He really didn't like the feeling of pinning his hopes on others, but he was not as strong as others.
Hearing this, Purney's face looked a little dejected, and she nodded reluctantly.
In the conversation room, the two fell silent.
Suddenly, a dull rumble was heard outside, followed by screams.
The two looked at each other and walked outside quickly.
Ivan saw Jiushi running towards him, the fear on her face clearly visible.
