After putting on the old cloak and clothes he found in the utility room, Heath straightened his clothes, then put Chou'er on his shoulders and walked out of the room, which was probably the auditorium.
Outside, Nasha, who had also grown older, was already waiting, but she seemed not as lucky as Heath. The cloak she found was a bit too small, and when worn on her, it wrapped her whole body tightly.
Many places can't even be covered, exposing large areas of white snow.
'but...'
Heath paused for a while longer on Nasha's curvy figure.
'This isn't all bad, is it?'
This unscrupulous gaze obviously disgusted the victim. Nasha said leisurely: "Before this, I always thought you were an ascetic who was not close to women, just like those magic sticks in the west."
Heath, who was exposed, was slightly embarrassed: "Ahem... I can't help myself."
Nasha smiled charmingly: "Are you complimenting me?"
I have to say that this smile is indeed very delicious. Heath admitted generously: "Beautiful things deserve people to praise and appreciate."
Nasha twisted her mouth: "Let's go, I don't want to be caught by Murdoch when he comes back."
Immediately, the two continued on their way.
After walking forward for a while, we soon came to a spacious hall.
This looks like a palace, with flat floors, high curved ceilings, large supporting stone pillars, ancient stone sculptures, exquisitely carved murals...
Magnificent and majestic!
Heath said in surprise: "I only knew that the goblins built a basement for the college, but I never knew that this basement was so exquisite!"
Nasha explained: "The goblin craftsmen are not of this level."
Heath looked confused.
Nasha explained: "I don't think anyone has told you that the Third Apprentice Tower was built on a ruins of the Sigrama Dynasty."
The Sigrama Dynasty was a political entity thousands of years ago that once dominated the entire continent.
Nasha further explained: "The Glory of the Sea of Trees discovered this ruins here. After they evacuated it, they still couldn't bear to part with the basic building here, so they built the third apprentice tower on top of it, and the original ruins became
Now the utility room, basement.”
Heath said in surprise: "There is such a history!"
Continuing to move forward, the two of them soon reached the end of the hall, and at this moment Nasha suddenly stopped and pointed to the front and said: "We are here!"
But there was a long staircase there. After going up the steps, there was a huge stone platform filled with crumbs. It looked like a giant nest, and inside the nest was a large pile of ash conspicuously piled up.
The brown substance looks like the skin of some kind of creature.
Nasha said excitedly: "That's Murdoch's nest, I can already see its skin, haha!"
Heath was also very happy.
"Let's go, run away quickly after taking the things!"
The two of them walked quickly towards the stone platform and quickly climbed the stone steps to the stone platform.
However, something changed suddenly when I arrived here!
"Huh? What's going on? Heath, look, the snake skin is glowing?"
The snake skin piled on the stone steps suddenly lit up with bright spots of light. Before the two of them could react, these light spots suddenly separated from Murdoch's snake skin and gathered together in the air to form a giant
A creature that seems to be——
"Snake Murdock!" Heath and Nasha exclaimed in unison.
What appeared in front of the two of them was the giant snake Murdock!
Sensing the crisis, Chou'er quickly jumped off Heath's shoulders and stopped in front of him, raising his two forelimbs high to stare at the giant creature in front of him.
At the same time, Murdoch also started to move.
It coiled up in a circle and erected a large snake head, and the two dark eyes turned and stayed on Heath and Nasha.
For a moment, Heath and Nasha felt cold all over their bodies.
At the same time, Murdoch yelled angrily: "Damn brat, you dare to break into Lord Murdoch's bedroom without permission. Are you tired of living?"
"I'm going to eat you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murdock suddenly opened his mouth wide and dived, heading straight towards Heath and the two of them like a sharp arrow.
Heath's head exploded with a 'bang', and his mind went blank. He only instinctively pushed Nasha away, raised the stick he picked up on the road, and slashed forward.
"squeak!"
Chou'er yelled and rushed forward with his forelimbs raised.
"Wow!" There was a crisp sound, and the stick struck the air.
"Plop!" a sound.
The Chou'er who rushed forward also missed the opportunity and fell to the floor.
With his mouth wide open, Murdock passed through Heath and Nasha silently, and his huge body just passed them without any collision.
Only then did Heath and Nasha notice that the body of the giant snake Murdoch in front of them was not solid but translucent, no different from the ghosts that could be seen everywhere in the tower.
The two looked at each other and immediately reacted.
"Soul Mirror!"
At the formal wizard level, you can use your own soul and mental power to create a mirror image of yourself to deceive your enemies. Obviously, this is a soul mirror left by Murdock.
Murdoch was like a gust of wind, rushing past the two of them and then quickly disappeared.
"Huhu!~"
Both Heath let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, the two met each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: take the snake skin and leave here first.
"Um!"
Both of them nodded and walked forward...
...
At the same time, somewhere in the forest outside the apprentice tower.
"Zi!" a sound.
The giant snake Murdock, who was rushing to the meeting place, suddenly stopped, its scales rubbing against the ground and making a sharp braking sound.
Dean Carls, who was riding on Murdoch's back, turned over and asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Old man?"
Murdock did not answer, but raised his snake head high and turned towards the direction of the Apprentice Tower.
There was both surprise and anger in its eyes, and it spat out the snake's message: "Hiss!~ Where did you come from, you brat, you are so brave, you even dare to break into my bedroom, Murdoch!"
Karls was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
He snorted: "I've told you many times, don't mess with those apprentices, there will inevitably be those who are bold enough to embarrass you, now come on!"
Murdoch remained silent.
Karls waved his hand, and the old god said calmly: "Okay, let's deal with these little things later. Let's go to the meeting first. That's what's important to us now."
Murdoch takes action again.
Not long after it hit the road, it asked: "What is the purpose of this rally? Why are they so frequent recently?"
"What else is there but that barren land?"
Karls said sarcastically: "If you want to conquer but are unwilling to put in the effort, why not just pass the responsibility to us and let the apprentices open up territories for them."
"But this is good, it is also a training opportunity for apprentices."
...
Half an hour later, the courtyard forest.
In an open space in the middle of the forest, a bonfire was burning. In front of the bonfire, a boy and a girl were sitting. It was Heath and Nasha who had just escaped from Murdoch's underground palace.
To be wary of the college's subsequent investigation, Heath and Nasha reported in advance their collection mission tonight as a proof of absence when the incident occurred. Therefore, after coming out of the underground palace, they did not return to the dormitory but went directly to the courtyard forest.
"Zizzi..."
The flames burned sizzlingly, and the bursting firewood occasionally brought up sparks, which were quickly extinguished in the night wind.
While Heath was playing with the bonfire with a wooden stick, he recalled all the details of today's operation to confirm whether there were any omissions. Murdoch had a bad temper, and the torture after being caught by him was not so easy.
accepted.
After thinking about it carefully, Heath did find a slightly problematic detail. He quickly asked Nasha to confirm: "That's right..."
However, as soon as the words came out, he found Nasha across from her leaning against the tree trunk with her eyes closed, apparently already asleep.
'Are you that tired?'
Heath glanced at the tired look on her face and couldn't remember any place along the way where her physical strength was greatly consumed. She always lay on her back when running for her life. I should be the one who should be tired at this time, right?
?
Seeing that the other party was asleep, Heath naturally didn't want to disturb her anymore, so he could only turn around and wait for her to wake up before asking.
wait wait wait...
After staring at the sleeping Nasha in front of him for a while, Heath suddenly remembered a big problem that he had ignored all this time... Now Nasha was just standing in front of him without any defense!
But here... there is no one around!
Great opportunity!
His eyes swept over the fair and slender neck and beautiful face of the goddess in the dreams of many apprentices, and Heath finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Gudu!~" He swallowed.
Then he did what he wanted to do the most and the most exciting thing at this time——
"Extract!"
Aha, I finally got a chance to spank this little girl again. I wonder what big treasures I can extract from this genius little witch?
Heath was looking forward to it.
At the same time, the familiar electronic beep also sounded.
"Dip, the extraction is successful: Obtain knowledge [Magic Array]"
Ha ha!
Heath was overjoyed.
You know, Heath has been preparing scroll materials recently, and he hasn't even had time to read the books about magic circles. This has helped him solve a big trouble!
Before Heath could recover from the joy in front of him, another unexpected thing happened...
