The little snake mark at the bottom of the letter was undoubtedly the mark of the Benfica Hermit Abbey's advanced apprentice, Mr. Snake Eyes, that Connor and Marguerita were worried about. Only this advanced apprentice could knock on the door and leave silently in front of Connor and Marguerite, whose spiritual force was equivalent to that of an intermediate apprentice.
Connor and Marguerite carefully read the letter from Snake Eyes and sank into silence. After a while, Marguerite was the first to break the silence and asked Connor, "What do you plan to do?"
"What do you plan to do?" Connor waved the letter in his hand and asked, "This Mr. Snake Eyes has made it clear that he's going to take us down. What else can we do? We can only fight him head-on! "
Hearing Connor say that he was going to fight him head-on, Marguerite's expression clearly relaxed and she continued, "Connor, I really didn't misjudge you. If you and I join hands to deal with this Snake Eyes, we might still have a chance!"
Connor's gaze focused on Marguerite. He could understand why Marguerite was so quick to make it clear that she wanted to join hands with him to fight this advanced apprentice Snake Eyes!
Snake Eyes's letter, regardless of its tone or content, was very domineering. Of course, when an advanced apprentice faced a beginner apprentice and an intermediate apprentice, the advantage of strength was enough to make him domineering to the end. However, it was also this domineering attitude that left no room for maneuver in this matter. In front of Connor and Marguerite, there were only two paths. One was to stop struggling and hand over their fates to Snake Eyes, and the other was to fight to the death!
Connor and Marguerite were not ordinary people. Both of them had their own unspeakable secrets. Not to mention other things, just from their personalities alone, they would never allow their fates to be in the hands of others.
Most importantly, in terms of combat strength, Snake Eyes was an advanced apprentice. His strength was definitely stronger than both Connor and Marguerite. However, he was not strong to the point where Marguerite and Connor would not be able to fight him if they joined hands.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Connor and Marguerite only had one path in front of them, and that was to fight to the death with Snake Eyes!
Since they had decided to fight to the death, they had to weigh the situation of both sides. The reality in front of Connor and Marguerite was that whether it was him or Marguerite facing Snake Eyes alone, the difference in strength was too great. There was no suspense at all, especially in this situation where Snake Eyes had already targeted them. Even if one of them wanted to take the initiative to sacrifice himself to protect the other and escape, it would be impossible!
Staring at Marguerite's resolute face, Connor muttered to himself for a moment and opened his mouth to probe, "The Eye of Arbitration?"
"That's the only way!" Marguerite nodded heavily.
Seeing that both sides had no objections, Connor and Marguerite smiled tacitly. Both of them were very clear that if they wanted to fight to the death with Snake Eyes, they had to trust each other. Only by trusting each other would they have a chance to survive. Otherwise, when facing a powerful advanced apprentice, they would have no chance at all if they did not trust each other. Currently, the Eye of Arbitration was the only way to establish an unbreakable trust between the two of them.
"Under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, I, Connor Ferguson, swear that no matter what happens in the next week, I will definitely fight to the death with Marguerite Rodriguez …"
"Under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, I, Marguerite Rodriguez, swear that no matter what happens in the next week, I will definitely fight to the death with Connor Ferguson …"
Just like last time, after a simple discussion about the content of the oath, Connor and Marguerite made a new oath under the Eye of Arbitration for the second time.
After the oath was made, Connor and Marguerite did not hesitate at all. They immediately began to discuss how to deal with the threat from Snake Eyes.
"Why would Snake Eye act so boldly? He actually personally sent a letter to you and me. Isn't he afraid of exposing his whereabouts and attracting the attention of the four advanced Apprentice Adepts accompanying Audrey?" Margaret's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked in puzzlement.
"The small boat on the third floor was specially prepared for Audrey and the others. Audrey and the others took the small boat and left the Ivanka an hour ago!" Connor said in a deep voice.
"What? Audrey and the others left? "Hearing the news from Connor, Marguerite immediately exclaimed.
"In front of me!" Thinking of the middle-aged uncle called "Uncle Hamm", Connor couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face. He said with certainty:
"Audrey and the others left. No wonder Snake Eyes was so arrogant!" Marguerite murmured in a low voice.
"Let's not think too much about it. The most important thing now is to deal with Snake Eyes!" Connor pulled the main topic back to business. He pondered for a while and said, "Snake Eyes wants us to get off the ship tomorrow at San Jose Island and go to the Newcastle Beer House. He didn't take us down just now. He must be worried that if we make a scene on the Ivanka, it will be difficult for him to clean up the mess even if he takes us down."
"And when we get to San Jose Island tomorrow, Mr. Snake Eyes will take us down before we even reach the Newcastle Beer House!"
"Our original plan was to get off the ship on San Jose Island and leave. Why don't we just beat him at his own game? Let's get off the ship on San Jose Island and mislead Snake Eyes into thinking that we're following his order to go to the Newcastle Beer House?" Marguerite explained her plan.
Connor thought for a while and nodded in agreement. If they stayed on the ship and did not get off, Snake Eyes might be temporarily safe, but it was not a foolproof plan. Once Snake Eyes decided to take action, everything would be in vain. Instead of that, it was better to beat him at his own game like Marguerite said. Maybe it would really work!
"I have a secret blood witchcraft called Demonic Blood Possession. It can temporarily raise my strength to that of an advanced apprentice for about three minutes!" After making up her mind, Marguerite thought for a while and told Connor her biggest trump card.
"You can temporarily raise your strength to that of an advanced apprentice? The effect is so strong, but there must be a lot of restrictions, right? " Hearing that Marguerite could temporarily raise her strength to that of an advanced apprentice, Connor did not go crazy with joy. Instead, he frowned and asked.
