Chapter 164 The long-lost meeting

In the lake, the dense thatched grass parted, and a large white bird that controlled the wind appeared, floating lightly in front of Ivan. It was not difficult to see that this was also a puppet summoned creature.

The white feathers look quite similar to the wing feathers of the magical pet Ral.

"Well, let's go and see what tricks you have."

Seeing that Toins was just driving a puppet creature to come, he did not hesitate and jumped directly onto the back of the big white bird, letting it carry him to see Toins.

The big white bird flapped its wings and flew towards the lake whose end seemed invisible.

After taking him around for a few rounds, he showed no sign of stopping and didn't see any other people, so Ivan was not in a hurry.

After a while, a strange two-headed snake appeared. It had an ugly appearance but a familiar aura. It must be Toins. From looking like a scholar to being like this now, anyone could see how miserable he was.

One of the heads of the two-headed monster snake let out a cry, and the breeze around it suddenly grew stronger, carrying the large white bird to accelerate its flight. Led by the two-headed monster snake, it landed on a small wilderness island in the middle of the lake.

It is not appropriate to call it an island. The total area is less than 100 square meters, covered with lush weeds, and it is very inconspicuous in the huge lake.

Ivan saw Penny lying in the grass.

After landing, he went forward to take a look and found that Penny was in a coma, but there was nothing wrong with her body.

"Ivan, I haven't seen you for so long, how come you suddenly become speechless?" Toins's cold voice sounded.

"I don't have a mentor like you, Wizard Toins, so let's talk about the method you mentioned to completely solve the curse. I suffered a lot when you passed the curse to me before.

Also, because of you, I have been targeted a lot in the academy, especially by the hunting team you used to be in. Go back and explain to them someday. You are living well, so there is no need to put the blame on me."

Ivan turned around and said half-seriously.

"Haha, you are still so courageous. I need your help this time. After the task is completed, not only can the curse be lifted, but I will also give you a means to increase the wizard's promotion."

"really?"

"Of course, you know, I'm a principled person."

After hearing his words, Ivan was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something. In fact, he was secretly complaining in his heart that this guy had repeatedly broken the bottom line of the academy and wizards, and he still had the audacity to talk about principles.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, I will tell you when we get there. But you are very dishonest and brought someone else with you. That person is your current mentor, right? No wonder you refuse to acknowledge me as your mentor."

As he spoke, Toins noticed something and smiled nonchalantly.

Ivan's face changed slightly.

"Drink it." Toins flapped his wings, and a light blue potion flew out from the side and flew to Ivan.

Ivan opened the lid and took a sniff. It was a potion rich in water energy. Without asking any questions, he raised it and poured it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, a miraculous change took place in his body.

"This is a potion of water breathing."

Toins used his tail to pick up the lying Penny, motioning for him to follow. After reaching the edge of the island, he dived into the turbid lake water.

Ivan frowned and had to put everything on his body together before going underwater. As expected, he didn't need to hold his breath after entering the water.

The lake water was turbid because of the dense floating objects on the upper layer, but the water in the deep layer became clear. He looked up and saw clusters of water grass roots, like another jungle.

Because it was night and they were still underwater, his vision was limited, so he could only follow Toins closely to avoid getting lost.

Looking down from the sky, most people would think that Nichols Lake is a shallow lake. But if you really dive under the water, you will find a different world underneath. The terrain is similar to many areas in Ant-Man Tideland, with a silt layer above and hidden waters below.

Pernie showed no signs of suffocation, so she must have been fed underwater breathing potion in advance.

She woke up in a daze and found herself in a strange place. She was frightened and panicked. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was filled with lake water.

"Just follow me when you wake up. I'm warning you in advance, don't do anything unnecessary." When Purney heard Toins' voice, it was not one of concern, but a cold warning.

"This is at the bottom of Lake Nichols. You should have taken the underwater breathing potion. There won't be any problem if you close your mouth." Then, there was another familiar voice.

Only then did Penny notice Ivan who was following not far behind. She calmed herself down as she was told and slowly landed next to Ivan.

"I was kidnapped by Toins." Without waiting for Ivan to ask, she took the initiative to explain her experience.

"Remember I reminded you last time."

"It's impossible for me not to leave the academy, but when I was out on a mission, Toins took advantage of me. The people who were on the mission with me must have met with misfortune."

Thinking of her previous companion, Purney's face darkened and she asked, "What should we do now?"

"Take it one step at a time. At worst, I'll just fight him."

"Okay, let's fight that bastard Toins later." Penny stared angrily at the two-headed monster snake in front of her.

"Wait, don't be in a hurry. Follow Toins first and see what he wants to do. Don't take action until the situation is not right. You don't want to be knocked out again." Seeing that she was about to attack, Ivan hurriedly stopped her.

It seems that this is how Penny was knocked unconscious before.

It was only after Ivan's persuasion that Penny did not go up and beat Toins.

Toins paid no attention to the actions of the two people behind him, and continued to lead the way. Soon, they had left the lake and entered the underground river leading to other places. The surroundings were dark and silent, but it did not affect Toins's judgment of the direction.

A hazy halo appeared in front of them and caught the eyes of several people.

Ivan knew that they had arrived at the destination. It turned out that the so-called secret place that Toins mentioned was near Lake Nichols. It was such a hidden entrance, and no one knew how Toins found it.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."

Two people and one snake emerged from the water, and in front of them was an underground cave.

The cave is not spacious, as if it was formed by the collapse of the mountain wall. There is no mudflat by the river, only bluestone blocks that have been washed clean. If you are not careful, you might slip.

There are glowing fluorescent stones on the surrounding mountain walls, and the light makes the cave not appear dim.

There is also a passage leading deeper inside the cave.

"Be careful."

As soon as she stepped onto the shore, Pernie keenly sensed a strange aura, which made her body and mind tense up.

There's something weird about this place.

Ivan nodded slightly. He was touched even more deeply. If he listened carefully, he could hear strange sounds. Faint singing continued to come from the cave. It seemed that someone was singing ancient songs deep in the cave.

There was actually something singing in this shabby place. If it were an ordinary person, his scalp would probably tingle when listening to it. Fortunately, Ivan was not an ordinary person.

"We're here. Remember to follow my orders, or you'll bear the consequences." Toins turned his head and warned, his eyes fixed on Purney.

After hearing what he said, Penny was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Ivan in time.

Looking back, Toins' face showed a more solemn expression, and he continued to lead the two people into the cave.

Ivan gestured to Purney and followed him on the wet ground. Purney had no choice but to follow.

"Is someone singing?" After walking a distance, Penny heard something and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I heard it. It sounded like someone was praising a certain god." Ivan said. The ethereal female voice sounded particularly pleasant, with a solemn and dignified flavor in it.

"Quiet."

Dissatisfied with the two people's whispering, Toins scolded them coldly.

Underground, caves were connected to each other. After walking through the long and narrow passage, they came to another cave. The chanting sound that reached their ears became clearer, but it was not any language they knew.

"arrive."

There was still a passage leading deeper ahead, but Toins was not prepared to go any deeper.

Penny sensed something, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Ivan.

It's weirder in here than outside.

Under the inexplicable singing and breath, Ivan also realized that his mental power became more active and showed a slight growth trend. This seemed to be a place that was conducive to the promotion of a wizard.

In addition, the mark of the demon's curse on his arm began to behave strangely, causing a warm heat, which was different from when Toins transmitted the power of the curse to them. It felt like tickling through the air.

The energy in the seal did not increase as a result.

Could it be that what Toines said about completely removing the curse was true?

"Remember, don't listen to anything else. This kind of power is not something you can covet."

At this time, Toins gave another warning. He glanced into the deep passage, and fear was obvious in his eyes.

If he had not accidentally entered this strange place, causing his original arm to mutate, he would never have been taken advantage of by the traitor Biller and ended up in his current situation.

Ivan tried to contact the outside world and found that, as he expected, his perception had changed from being severely disturbed to being isolated.

As Toines had said before, he was not alone this time.

Randall was worried, so he followed them to Lake Nichols. However, the master and apprentice did not expect that Toins walked underwater and then came to this strange place.

……

At Nichols Lake, Randall rode on the back of a large golden beetle and flew over the lake, trying to find any trace of his disciples, but unfortunately he had no substantial results.

He didn't know that his whereabouts were directly seen by another person.

"This guy Toins is indeed from a small place. He is petty and is still wary of me."

"Well, I am a responsible person. I will definitely not let anyone disturb your reunion as master and disciple."

Ivan didn't know that Toins didn't come here alone. He also invited the wizard Kisan, who had worked with him before. Seeing Randall running around like a headless fly, Kisan didn't rush to show up. Anyway, Toins's request was not to be interfered with.

Now, the other party can't even be found, so there's no way to intervene.

Kisan didn't know that Randall had a great accomplishment in hiding his aura and had already sensed the presence of this strange wizard, but he was not in a hurry to take action either.
