Chapter 228 Rescue
Chapter 228 Rescue
As time passed, Ivan led his men to repair the protective barriers, while keeping an eye on Chris Donner's actions and watching him study the Ant-Man altar.
That night, the Twin Towers welcomed an unexpected visitor.
"Wizard Ivan, I apologize for my intrusive visit."
"What's so presumptuous about this? I welcome the Andaya wizard here."
Ivan always followed the principle of respecting others a foot and I should respect them a yard. He welcomed Andaya to the living room and they sat down separately.
He was trying to figure out the other party's intentions. Was he discovered while stalking?
"Wizard Ivan, how is your restoration work going?"
"We haven't encountered any major problems yet. I think it won't take long to restore the 23 rune bundles."
"I heard that you asked Wizard Randall to join in the restoration work?"
"Yes, Randall is my mentor. He has a very good level of enchantment. I need someone I can trust more to help me, and I thought of Randall the first time."
Before, as the few of them became more and more skilled in cooperating, Heidi, who was originally only able to do odd jobs, also began to participate in the restoration work. Ivan took the opportunity to pull Randall in to earn credits.
This happened two days ago.
When Ivan thought Andaya wanted to insert someone, she changed the subject.
Andaya was a woman with a cold personality. Today, she started chatting about all sorts of things, which really confused Iven. However, Iven had enough patience. Since the other party did not tell him the purpose of her visit, he did not ask.
"Wizard Ivan, we are allies who help each other, right?"
"Of course, before we found the Ant-Man altar, Chris Donner and I were our closest allies."
Hearing his answer, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Andaya's face.
"Given the situation in the Mona Ant Colony Hut, everyone will always be in the same camp and will be natural allies, right?" She continued after a two-second pause.
"That's true." Ivan nodded slightly.
"As allies, we need to look out for each other. If one side has a problem, the other side must not stand idly by."
"It is indeed inappropriate to stand aside and do nothing while we can."
This was not the answer Andaya wanted, but she had no way to force Ivan to agree to something. Finally, she hinted that if Ivan did something beneficial to his allies, he would be rewarded afterwards, and she would be very clear about it.
Ivan knew that what she wanted to talk about was Chris Donner. She didn't say it out loud, and Ivan didn't say it out loud either. He just made his attitude clear and said that he would definitely help when he could.
In fact, there was another wizard Chris Donner in Chris Donner's residence. Anyway, no one noticed that he had gone into the small space.
This is also the reason why Ivan was reluctant to expose it.
Only after he agreed did Andaya get up and leave the Twin Towers.
"To be able to do this for Chris Donald, it seems that their relationship needs to be re-evaluated." Ivan muttered. He could see that Andaya seemed a little anxious today, and it was really difficult for her to find things to talk about with him.
Andaya's visit was just a small episode, and the repair work of Ant-Man's barrier has been continuing.
On this day, Ivan sensed some unusual movement through the Ant-Man Barrier. His mind moved, and part of his perception fell outside the gray little space.
"What is Chris Donner going to do? Shouldn't that be the rune on the mural in the underground secret room, similar to the runes carved on the prey? That's something that is applied in preparation for the sacrifice."
"To activate the Ant-Man Altar in this way, it is most likely to be a sacrifice to other creatures. Is this okay?"
Ivan looked at the people in the small space in confusion, who were about to take further action. Could it be that the protective membrane of this small space had an interfering effect, and what he and Chris Donald saw were different?
The runes on the altar focused on meaning rather than form, but he didn't know that what he could easily see, Chris Donald was limited by his attainments in enchantment and could not understand the same feeling.
After studying for a few days, Chris Donner came to the conclusion that the Ant-Man Altar could indeed help him complete a transformation. Therefore, he decided to officially activate the Ant-Man Altar and pursue the path to becoming a second-level wizard.
After he arranged all the items, he sat directly in the center of the Ant-Man Altar. Under Ivan's puzzled gaze, Chris Donner activated the Ant-Man Altar and made it run at high speed.
"This guy is so reckless. He chose to risk everything."
There is some connection between the Ant-Man Altar and the protective barrier, which would implicitly draw the power of the protective barrier to nourish itself. He activated the Ant-Man Altar in this way, and the traction that was originally just a slow flow began to increase rapidly.
Ivan didn't know what to say, so he could only make up for Chris Donald and try to cover up the past. However, with the commotion getting bigger and bigger, he didn't know how long he could cover it up, and he probably couldn't cover it up for very long.
In the small space, Chris Donner was no longer concerned.
After the Ant-Man Altar was officially put into operation, he could feel a strange force generated, which kept drilling into his body, causing some changes in his body.
"here we go."
Chris Tang suppressed his surging emotions and drank two pre-prepared potions in succession to make final preparations for his promotion to a second-level wizard.
After a while, he suddenly realized something was wrong. As if the power in his body had reached its peak and was declining, it began to overflow and was swallowed up by the Ant-Man Altar.
"No, could it be that the Ant-Man altar is fake?"
Such a thought popped into his mind, and after realizing that he could not stop the power from leaking out, he stood up and ran outside, while trying to shut down the operation of the altar.
The Ant-Man Altar cannot be closed!
My body was locked by the strange force just now!
Mental strength and vitality are overflowing!
Unable to cast spells!
Chris Donnell's face turned pale, and he could only frantically mobilize the strength in his body to disrupt the energy that bound him, and walked out step by step with difficulty.
Doing so also exacerbates the loss of one's own power.
"Wizard Ivan, this is a long-planned scam." At the critical moment, Chris Donnell noticed someone appearing, but it was just a phantom formed by energy particles, and it was clearly his ally Ivan.
"Let me help you out first." Ivan's previous view was correct. Not long after, he witnessed the other party falling into trouble. Thinking of the pleasant cooperation between the two parties before, he decisively showed up.
"Okay, please."
"excuse me."
From Ivan's perspective, Chris Donner was like a person who had been electrocuted. As long as he was pushed away and the contact was severed, he could escape from the predicament.
With a muffled sound, Chris Donald, who had just struggled to take a few steps, was hit by a heavy energy bombardment. He flew to one side and broke free from the restraints of the round altar.
"how?"
"good."
Chris Donald fell to the ground, his face extremely pale, and he looked several years older than before, which showed how much of a loss he had suffered this time.
He looked at Ivan with a complicated expression, feeling a little ashamed and grateful. If the other party had not appeared in time, he would probably have lost half his life and his essence would have been severely damaged.
"I'll cover up for you, and we'll talk about the rest when you get back."
Ivan waved his hand to stop him from saying anything. This was not the place to talk.
Chris Donnell left in a state of embarrassment.
What made Ivan feel relieved was that without the power supply, the Ant-Man Altar automatically stopped working.
