Chapter 37

Kevin looked hesitant. He was indeed prepared to go back on his word.

"If you don't even agree to such a small request, we can only go our separate ways. You won't get anything!" Bai Xiaowen made his stance clear.

"I can postpone killing you for a day, but I'm not obligated to protect you. So, I can't agree to your second condition, "Kevin said.

"No, you're an archmage. It's too easy for you to trick me, especially in a place like this!" Bai Xiaowen obviously wouldn't fall for it. "You have to guarantee my safety for a day, and you have to swear by your faith."

Bai Xiaowen was telling the truth, and Kevin understood that.

"Alright, I agree to your request. I swear to the God of Magic, but the time limit is only twelve hours! And you have to stay in this graveyard for the duration of the agreement. " Kevin was mainly worried that Bai Xiaowen would escape to Pointed Helmet City during the safety period of the agreement. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

"Sure." Bai Xiaowen snickered in his heart.

After the two of them swore, Bai Xiaowen also received a notification.

"You have reached an agreement with Kevin, the chief mage of the Lionheart Empire's northern rebel army in the Aaron Plane."

"You can't destroy the soul stone and give it to Kevin. During the agreement, you can't leave the frozen tomb. "

"During the agreement, Kevin can't do anything that's disadvantageous to you, and he'll guarantee your safety."

"If you violate the agreement, you'll be rejected by the psionic particles and will never be able to enter the spiritual world. If Kevin violates the agreement, he'll be rejected by the God of Magic and lose his ability to cast spells. "

"The agreement will last until tomorrow noon."

Bai Xiaowen carefully went through the contents of the agreement. There was nothing wrong with it.

"It's yours." Bai Xiaowen handed over the soul stone.

Kevin was very cautious. He waved his wand gently, and an invisible force lifted the soul stone and flew it in front of him. Then, he looked at it repeatedly.

The final result was that there was no problem with the Soul Stone. Furthermore, with Bai Xiaowen's ability, there was no way he could have faked it under his nose.

"I'm very curious about your thoughts. I really want to pry open your head and take a good look." Kevin's brows were still furrowed even though he had obtained the Spirit Stone. Bai Xiaowen's behavior was a little abnormal.

"Master Kevin, if you want to pry open my head, you'll have to wait 12 hours." Bai Xiaowen was finally relieved. From the moment Kevin signed the agreement, he was truly safe.

Bai Xiaowen walked out from a secluded corner and patted the dust off his body.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you hiding?" Kevin was surprised.

"Why should I hide when I have the chief Mage of Pointy Helmet City as my bodyguard?" Bai Xiaowen waved at the Dread Knight on the other side of the mausoleum. "Hi, friend over there. How are you?"

Neigh — —

The Skeletal Warhorse under the Dread Knight let out a long neigh and charged at Bai Xiaowen, as fast as an arrow!

"Damn you!"

Kevin suddenly remembered the content of their agreement. He had to ensure Bai Xiaowen's safety within 12 hours! With Bai Xiaowen's small body, if the Dread Knight charged at him, there would be nothing left of him.

Kevin reacted and waved his hand to cast a Mana Shield over Bai Xiaowen's body. Then, he threw an Ice Spear and accurately hit the Dread Knight.

To be able to hit the Dread Knight while it was charging at him at high speed and forcefully interrupt its charge, Kevin's spell control was impressive.

Bai Xiaowen was able to see the Dread Knight's Health Bar clearly because he was in combat mode with the Dread Knight. After Kevin's Ice Spear, the Dread Knight's Health Bar dropped by one-third and its speed slowed down significantly.

Both of them were Bosses that Bai Xiaowen had a question mark on, but Kevin's ability was clearly several times stronger than the Dread Knight. He released a string of fine ice spikes from the tip of his magic wand and hit the Dread Knight like a machine gun, shattering it into a pile of bones.

This was within Bai Xiaowen's expectations. How could an Elite Dread Knight compare to the Chief Wizard of Pointy Helmet City?

"Do you want to die?" Kevin said angrily.

"Don't worry, Master Kevin. You're so strong, dealing with these Undead monsters is child's play to you," Bai Xiaowen said mockingly. "I'm going to die in 12 hours. You should at least let me have some fun before I die, right?"

Bai Xiaowen walked deeper into the graveyard. This time, he was not sneaking around. Instead, he paced around with his hands behind his back, looking like a leader inspecting the place. The only thing missing was the words "Hit me" plastered on his forehead.

Two more Skeleton Warriors and a Stitched Monster were attracted and rushed toward Bai Xiaowen.

Kevin was so angry that he wanted to curse. He could only continue to cast spells and clean up Bai Xiaowen's mess. More than once, he wanted to cast a Binding spell on Bai Xiaowen, but the agreement stipulated that he was not to do anything harmful to him. Restricting his freedom was definitely one of the bad things to do.

However, the angry Kevin did not completely lose his mind. He took out a Soul Stone and absorbed the Soul Flames of the Undead monsters that he killed. Looking at the Soul Stone gradually turning from gray to black as the energy points increased, his depressed mood finally eased a little.

"After tomorrow afternoon, I'll teach you a lesson!" Kevin gritted his teeth and thought of a hundred ways to torture Bai Xiaowen's soul.

Twenty minutes later, Kevin was a little out of breath.

Forty minutes later, Kevin's face was even paler.

An hour later.

"My mental strength is about to run out."

After killing a powerful Death Knight, Kevin finally could not take it anymore. His face had turned from pale to green.

Bai Xiaowen readily agreed and said, "Okay, let's rest. By the way, Master Kevin, is the energy needed for the Soul Stone full? "

"It's been full for a long time." Kevin looked at Bai Xiaowen warily. "What do you want? According to the agreement, the Soul Stone is mine! "

"Don't worry, I won't take it." Bai Xiaowen sat in the cold snow and took a sip of honey wine and a bite of bread to replenish his strength. He looked at the sky in the south. "It's about time."

"What's about time?"

Kevin had just asked this question when there was a commotion in the south of the Frozen Graveyard. Accompanied by the low roar of the Skeleton Warriors, rays of blazing light streaked across the sky.

Kevin stood up with a whoosh. "Who are those people? Did you find help?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "No, they're combat nuns from the North County Monastery."

"Damn it, how did they find this place?" Kevin was a little anxious.

There was no doubt that the North County Monastery was on the side of the Imperial Army. They were enemies of Kevin's Resistance Army. When the two sides met, they did not waste time talking and directly took out their knives. Moreover, the Soul Stone sealed by the North County Monastery was now in Kevin's hands.

Bai Xiaowen leisurely snapped his fingers. "According to the speed of the other party's advance, the enemy will encounter us within an hour. So, we have an hour to answer questions. "

Kevin stared at Bai Xiaowen and used the time to recover his mental strength. He did have doubts about Bai Xiaowen's abnormal behavior. He felt that he had fallen into a trap.
