The Missing Hat of the Black Mage and the White Prince

The United Kingdom of Stemes is composed of many territories, located in the west of the center of the Yag continent.Because of the geographical location, the economy is quite developed, so the national power is considered strong on the entire continent.

At the beginning, Fars naturally didn’t know that the man named Elaine was in the Stemes United Kingdom, but he has many eyes and ears. If he can find two dragon girl petals on the mainland, it will be easy to find a living person .

For the black robe mage, there are no secrets in this world.

The birds flying in the sky, the butterflies flying around, the fish swimming in the water or running animals, and even the breeze that blows the continent all year round can all become the eyes and ears of the black-robed mage.

Fars walked in the woods wearing a black robe. Although it was autumn, the trees were still full of vigor and there was no sign of withering or yellowing.

In the middle of the Yag Continent is a fertile basin. If you are lucky enough to ride a dragon and fly over it, you will be able to see a thin mist on the basin, and occasionally a dark green.

That's right, there is a large virgin forest in the basin, and even the most experienced explorers and hunters cannot find the correct way out in this forest.

Of course, this primeval forest is not the frightening dark forest full of curses in the legend, but the territory of the Elf King.

The elves are a proud nation. They protect their land and don't like humans or creatures of other races to enter, so the great elf king set up a barrier around the forest.

The United Kingdom of Stemes is located on the west side of the forest of the Elven Kingdom. Although it is some distance away from the oldest forest in the legend, the forest here is also infected with the power of the Elven Kingdom, and it can still maintain its power even in the snowy winter. Green and fresh.

Fals looked up and saw rows of geese flying south, carefully avoiding the forest of the Elven King.

He looked at the east with some concern. In the depths of this woods was the territory of the Elf King. He didn't want to offend the noble Elven King at all, but this is not the territory of the Elf King, so it shouldn't matter.

The capital of Stemes is not far away, and today their prince—the man who made him suffer the humiliation of being raped and shattered his confidence in the use of black magic—Elaine will come here to hunt.

To be honest, he hadn't expected that Elaine, who was as savage as an orc, could be a prince, which was surprising.

However, now that there are so many countries in the Yag continent, it is not surprising to bump into princes from one or two countries occasionally.

Autumn is a good season for hunting, and the prince will naturally come out to hunt—this is the news he heard from a crow that flew over the palace.

There is still tender green grass growing in the open space here, and some birds are moving leisurely, such as black lyrebirds jumping around on the branches, red-tailed jays, and long-tailed grouse walking around and purple-winged crows.

He could see the hares eating vigilantly, and the forest was full of vitality, but what was the significance of this to a black-robed mage?

He said a spell, and the staff suddenly appeared in his hand.Most of the time he doesn't need a staff, this precious staff just shows his identity.

After walking around the clearing, Fars began to chant a spell in a low voice, which was a long and complicated spell. Fortunately, it was quiet and hidden here, and Elaine hadn't arrived yet.

As he chanted, a red arc thick as a thumb appeared under his feet.

That arc seemed to be alive, moving like a snake in the grass, spreading gracefully and at an unhurried speed, drawing a circle based on the center of the open space.

When Fars finished chanting the last syllable, a red circle also appeared on the ground.The red thread seemed to be dyed with fresh blood, gorgeous and eye-catching, giving off an ominous allure.

Fars picked up the staff again, gently dropped the gem on it to the red line, and chanted a new spell again.

It was a big circle, and Fals's voice was soft, it sounded like he was whispering to his lover.With the rise and fall of his voice, the green grass in the middle of the circle slowly withered, and in an instant, even the soil turned an ominous red, as if a large basin of blood was pouring on the ground, which looked particularly terrifying.

Suddenly, the characters of various ancient charms appeared on the red soil, and those characters seemed to be written in black ink.The soil in the middle sank slowly, and the black text became deeper and deeper, as if it had been carved out deeply, and there was a faint red light in the black.

The originally clear sky turned dark, the clouds became thicker and thicker, the sky seemed to be getting lower and lower, and there was the sound of thunder.

When Fars finished chanting the spell, all the changes in front of him did not end.The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, almost pressing down on the branches, and there seemed to be bright lightning flashing through the dark clouds.

The wind was getting louder and louder, rustling the dense leaves.Fars slowly withdrew from the circle, the black robe was still hanging peacefully, and his hair was not messy at all. A qualified mage—whether it is a black robe or a white robe, should maintain such an elegant posture at all times.

There are no moving creatures in the silent woods, only immobile plants, allowing themselves to be enveloped by the silent darkness.

A gloomy and deep voice suddenly sounded from all directions.

"I am called to come, you need to sacrifice with blood..."

This voice was indescribably dull, as if it was far away, but it seemed to be close to the ear clearly.

Fars raised his head slightly, looking at the lightning flashing across the sky in the distance.The wind was so loud that it almost covered the sound of thunder, and then, in the red magic circle where he was standing just now, a black dragon appeared.

The air was filled with a decadent and gloomy atmosphere, and the black dragon's golden eyes turned to Fars who was standing next to the magic circle.

Fars looked at the evil dragon clan that was blocked in another world by the barrier of light, and smiled gracefully. It was covered with black teardrop-shaped scales, proudly raised its head, and its golden eyes were full of bloodthirsty and cruelty.

"Ah, it's Fars, I thought it was those stupid humans again." The black dragon looked at him in surprise, "Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"It's too bad, Ivan, I need your help this time." Fars said with a smile.

"Oh, this is very rare," the black dragon Ivan said softly, "I didn't expect you to encounter difficulties."

"People always make mistakes." Fars took it lightly, and then smiled again, "I said, your opening statement just now was pretty cool, what's going on?"

"Ah, that's really troublesome..." Ivan said in a complaining tone, "I don't know why, the forbidden spell that summons me has become known to everyone, it seems that all magic summoners take pleasure in summoning me ..."

"and then?"

"Then..." He narrowed his golden eyes slightly, the red pupils like shuttles filled with bloodthirsty joy, "There is no more."

"Sounds like a scary fairy tale." Fars nodded absently.

"Okay, dear Fars, what can I do for you?"

A doe is grazing, and it seems that the grass here is extraordinarily fresh.

Elaine, who was in the grass, held a spear and a long sword at her waist, and approached the doe carefully.

This distance is enough, Elaine thought, and raised the spear. Just as he was about to strike, the doe suddenly raised its head, and a pair of black eyes showed a terrifying expression.

Elaine thought it had found him, but he didn't expect it to run towards him!

Instinctively, he stepped back a few steps, and the deer brushed past his shoulder and ran away.

"Do I look transparent?" Elaine turned to ask the knight beside him.

"Not at all, maybe something happened there." Ladd pointed to the sky.

Following the hand of his friend Ladd Knight, Elaine saw the thick dark cloud not far away.

"It doesn't look like a cloud formed by the weather." Ladd looked at it for a while, frowning.

"It's magic..." Elaine answered softly, "Someone is using magic there."

The place they occupy is still a clear sky, but it seems to be covered with a dark veil, revealing a terrifying atmosphere.

"Go and see," Elaine said.Of course, as a knight, you must protect the safety of the people.The cloud doesn't look like it was formed by white magic, and black magic means killing and casualties.

Because today I just came to hunt with my friend Ladd, Elaine did not bring any followers, and the horses were tied outside the woods.

Just a glance, if something bad happens, Ladd and I can go back and report it, he thought irresponsibly.

Fars leaned on the trunk and waved to the black dragon. "Ivan, here he comes."

Ivan narrowed his golden eyes. "Then... you start shouting."

"No, my throat is not very good recently." Fars looked at it dissatisfied.Ivan was about three meters tall, and he had to look up, "You know, the mage's voice is for chanting spells in a low voice, not for calling for help."

"...I'll see if you shout or not later." Ivan retorted softly, then raised his head slightly, and took a deep breath of the air in the human world. He could feel the faint black magic elements in the air.

Not far away, Elaine and Ladd slowly approached, almost entering the area covered by the black cloud.Elaine looked up at the thick clouds and became more and more sure that the appearance of that black cloud was definitely due to the magic circle.

It was too close to the town, and if there was something evil, the army should be sent in immediately, but before that, he and Ladd should figure out what it was.

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the black clouds like an undercurrent of sea water.The vortex is constantly rotating in the center of the cloud layer, and the speed is very fast. Such a vortex is often accompanied by strong winds, but this time there is no wind at all. I saw the nearby clouds being sucked in by the vortex, and the dark clouds began to slowly expand around.

"Hurry up, Ladd!" Elaine called out to her friend, took the sword out of the scabbard and held it in her hand, "I have to go and have a look right away."

Ladd nodded and followed him to the center of the vortex.

An incredible phenomenon is happening above the head, no living creatures can be seen under the clouds, and even the vibrant plants seem to have stopped their lives, showing a decadent dark gray.

Elaine and Ladd didn't encounter any obstacles, but the ground suddenly shook.

They stopped advancing immediately, and at this moment, a loud dragon chant suddenly appeared.

Rad was so surprised that he almost dropped the sword in his hand.

Dragons have not appeared in the western continent for a long time. Since the war between the Elf King and the God of Darkness more than 100 years ago, the dragons seem to have retreated from the western continent.

But the clear and sharp dragon chant in the ear was like a spring thunder in the silent woods, making the two of them completely at a loss as to how to react.

At the same time, Elaine suddenly saw a black figure, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mage in black robe, who was running over in a panic.

The black robe on the opponent's body almost covered him. Although the robe was torn several times, the pure black still exuded a disgusting evil aura.

Elaine held a horizontal sword in her hand, and looked at the black-robed mage warily. She originally planned to stab him with the sword, because there would never be any friendly dialogue between the believers of the Church of Light and the God of Darkness, but——

"help me……"

The voice was extremely weak, and Elaine froze for a moment. Chitu always couldn't ignore such calls for help. This was a deep-rooted concept.

Before the black-robed mage could reach him, he fell to the ground looking exhausted.

After a moment of hesitation, Elaine approached with a sword in hand.As far as he knew, the black-robed mage would never seek help from the Church of Light, even when facing death.

The black-robed mage was wearing a black soft hat. He lifted the hat with his sword, and saw black hair that was very rare on the continent of Yag.

The black-robed mage raised his head and looked at him helplessly, his eyes as silent and beautiful as the night were full of panic.

Elaine stared blankly for a moment, and didn't react until Ladd bumped into him.

"Are you a black robe mage?" He pointed the tip of his sword at the young man in front of him.

Fars was taken aback for a while, then shook his head.He doesn't remember him? !Why?Hadn't he removed the ingredient in the aphrodisiac that would cause people to lose their memories of that time by using black magic?He remembered that in order to satisfy Geer and let his little lover remember their passionate night, he deliberately moved a little bit...

Elaine looked at the young man again and was taken aback.He was panting so badly that he couldn't speak for a while, his skin was a faint pink due to the strenuous exercise, he looked about 20 years old, maybe a little younger - this is not like the age of the black robe mage, At his age, he can't even be an apprentice.

At this time, the Dragon Yin reappeared, and the ground began to shake slightly again. From the direction the black-haired youth ran, a black dragon unexpectedly appeared!

It was an evil-looking dragon, about three meters tall or more.The body was covered with black scales, and a pair of sharp and evil golden eyes looked at the three people in front of them.

Every time it takes a step, the ground will tremble slightly, and it is definitely not an ordinary dragon that appeared on the Yage continent.

It exudes an aura of death and foreboding all over its body, which can make anyone feel intimidated.

Elaine hesitated for a moment, and reached out to grab Fars who fell on the ground and gasped. "Run!" Then he turned around and greeted his friend Ladd, and the three immediately ran back along the original road.

"Aren't you going to fight it?" Fals asked aloud, panting.

"With a dragon?" Elaine replied equally loudly, "Stop kidding me! I'm just a human."

It was a matter of life and death, at least on the surface, so Elaine couldn't be blamed for not seeing the disappointment on Fars' face under the circumstances.

This is the most embarrassing moment for Fars, because the mage's robe is always suitable for dragging behind with graceful steps and slow speed, rather than being forced to run away in embarrassment like he is at this moment.

He gave Elaine a bitter look.Originally, his plan was to let Ivan and Elaine fight, and see what happened to Elaine's power from their battle, and why black magic didn't work on him, but he didn't expect this knight to say nothing Saying so, he dragged himself to escape, which was far from what he had imagined.

The ground was still trembling slightly, it seemed that Ivan must be running behind.

Poor Ivan, it doesn't usually exercise much, Fals thought a little guiltyly, he could hear Ivan's panting.

"Rad, this way!" Elaine yelled suddenly, "Don't lead him into the city."

The knight named Ladd immediately turned in a different direction, and Elaine pulled Fars to follow him.

Fars has never run such a long distance before. What a mage values ​​most is his own image. Of course, few mages can compare with elves in beauty, but mages definitely value elegant posture more than elves.

He really regretted it, why did things change when they met this guy? !

He wanted to shake Elaine away, and then took out his staff and told him, "I am the black-robed mage, and now I want to take back the shame you put on me!"

As for what to ask for, Fars hasn't thought about it yet. Part of coming to Elaine is for revenge, and the other part is to find out the enchantment-like power in him, which completely blocks magic and is a perfect elimination power. .

But now, everything is messed up!He was running almost out of breath, he had to stop!

Just as he was about to throw Elaine away, Ladd yelled, "Let's go to that cave!"

When he looked up, he realized that they had already reached a mountainous area at some point, and the woods had been left far behind. While panting, he couldn't help admiring himself a little.

For a mage, such physical strength is really rare.

He was dragged into the cave, and as soon as he entered, he heard the roar of the black dragon outside.

Ivan probably wasn't in a good mood either. In order to cooperate with the performance, he still had to run such a long distance.When he saw it just now, he found that Ivan was much heavier than when he met last time, and the fat on his legs seemed to have doubled. For such a dragon, running is simply torture.

But even so, he didn't have the time to think about how to comfort it or apologize to it.

Fals shook off Elaine's hand, leaned on the wall and gasped for breath. He felt that the stars were popping up in front of his eyes, his lungs were about to explode, his throat was so dry that he was almost on fire, he couldn't even stand on his feet, and there was some ringing in his ears. , he lost his balance and fell to the corner.

Suddenly someone helped him, and Fars had no strength to resist, and he might not even be able to recite the spell completely.

He fell completely into that person's arms, and could feel the cold and hard feeling coming from the knight's chain mail through his clothes. He shrank subconsciously, raised his head, and saw Elaine's blue eyes.

"Are you okay?" Elaine looked at him worriedly.

The young man in his arms was unbelievably weak in physical strength, he was so panting after running such a short distance, he was almost weaker than a woman.

Ladd, who had been exploring the cave entrance, came back and shrugged at Elaine. "Elaine, I have some bad news. The dragon must have been tired from running and is sitting in front of the cave panting. We can't get out for now."

"Oh, it's too bad." He looked regretful, "but why do we have such a black dragon here?"

"It should no longer exist in this world. Black dragons like this on the continent of Yag have been extinct hundreds of years ago." Ladd was puzzled, "What should we do?"

"Such a creature must have been summoned by a mage..." Elaine stopped suddenly when she said this, and looked down at the young man who was still panting heavily in her arms.

"He looks like a mage." Rad next to him pointed out with some hesitation, "and he is wearing a black robe. On the continent of Yag, except for the black robe mage, no one would wear such a long black cloak and robe."
