The Missing Hat of the Black Mage and the White Prince

Ladd took the sword back, but his gaze was still sharp, which made Fars feel terrified, so he could only comfort himself that there was no difference between a knight and an orc, they were always impulsive.

But the current situation is a bit complicated. This cavalier named Ladd has a very keen sense, or is it that the black-robed mage really exudes an evil aura, which is so easy for people to detect?The problem is that they are now trapped in this cave, and they can't get out according to the knight's method, but he can't show his magic, so... he has to continue to deceive.

Coughing slightly, Fars glanced at Ladd, and then at Elaine. "That... please forgive me for hiding something, although I don't think it's important, but to a certain gentleman, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Elaine's eyes were as pure as the autumn sky. Fals felt guilty when he saw him, coughed again subconsciously, and then said in a soft tone: "That... When I was very young, I thought the mage was a great person. Occupation, seeing a mage wearing a robe on the street is so elegant..." He looked at Elaine with some guilt, and the trusting look in his eyes was really uncomfortable, "So when I can stand on my own, I will go to a from a famous mage, hoping to become his apprentice.”

Ladd threw a "how about" look at Elaine, but the latter turned a blind eye, and his blue eyes were still focused on Fars.

Fars supported his forehead and continued to talk nonsense, "I stayed there for several years, but I didn't learn anything, I just did odd jobs... and... you know, mages have weird tempers... from the scars on my body I understand, so in the end I escaped..."

Although there was no tearful accusation, such a statement seemed to be more touching. He was hugged by Elaine before he finished speaking, and his warm chest and familiar breath made him startled.

"I won't hurt you..." Elaine's voice was gentle, "You don't deserve this..."

Fars was in a trance for a moment, and could only feel his body being hugged tightly, without any desire or intention, and the body temperature of each other was slowly blending.

"I will definitely protect you, and no one will hurt you again!" Elaine said firmly, hugging her slender body that was a bit chilly.

When Fals was a little younger, he also believed that he could protect something, but in fact it didn't seem to be the case, and sometimes promises didn't make any sense.

God of darkness, the knight is indeed a passionate creature - he thought so, but he didn't try to push Elaine away.

He could feel the breathing of another person, which was different from the emptiness and darkness, and the temperature of another person felt on his body, it seemed...not so annoying.

Ladd coughed lightly, hoping to attract the attention of the two people. Finally, when he coughed No.19, Elaine turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Rad, do you have a cold?"

"Did you hear my cough?" Rad asked patiently.

"I heard it, I've been coughing." Elaine was a little dissatisfied, still hugging Fars.

"Well, if you noticed, think about how to get out of this cave." Then he turned to look at Fars in Elaine's arms. "If you've ever been an apprentice, maybe you can tell us how it goes."

Fars immediately retorted. "I haven't become an apprentice yet, at most I'm a handyman."

"At least know something." Ladd shrugged.

"I think there is still a difference, although I don't know where the difference is." Elaine said pertinently.

Fars scratched his black hair. "I thought, maybe something happened to this cave before, and there was something extra in it."

"You mean..." Elaine looked around worriedly, "Is there a ghost here?"

"No, no, no," Fals explained patiently, "Ghosts are not scary, but under certain conditions, ghosts can turn into something else, and that's what we need to worry about."

"What's that?" Ladd asked.

"How would I know?" Fals, who couldn't tell the truth directly, said impatiently, "But we can analyze it, we walked in by ourselves, and were not sucked in by the cave—although it was because of the dragon .

"Then, we couldn't get to the end, and this is obviously a relationship with magic," Fars continued, "using this kind of magic, maybe it's just because that thing can't harm people, or it must meet certain magical conditions, so , that's not very dangerous."

"...So?" Although Elaine was listening very carefully, it was obvious that he couldn't understand at all, and neither did Ladd.

Fals sighed in frustration. "I think...it should be a ghost turned into a goblin or something."

"Little monster!" Elaine relaxed, "I'm still worried about something..."

There are many kinds of creatures on the continent of Yag, and of course there are magical creatures that exist in ancient scrolls. For knights, dragons are terrible, but little monsters are nothing.

For Elaine, the little monster is just a little more tricky than the goblin, but it looks the same.

Fars pulled him gently. "Some of the little monster's magic is more complicated."

"So what do we do now?" Ladd asked.

"We couldn't find him, but he has been following us. I think... Maybe there is a Jerk in this cave." Of course, Fals couldn't guess what kind of little monster it was, but he just judged it from the current situation.

"What is that?" Elaine was confused.

"I read it in a mage's book. It is a kind of little monster transformed from the ghost of a dead person. Because it is on the edge of evil, but it is kinder than dark creatures, so its location is unknown. It is a gray existence. The reason why they formed is Looking for something." Fals said softly, drawing a circle in mid-air with his white fingers, "That thing was what he cared about most before he died, so he will continue to search after death, and some people will find it , and haven’t found any. In short, they are extremely obsessed with this thing, and they must get it.”

Yeke is a little monster born from the resentment and unwillingness of the dead. It is more appropriate to say that it is the resentment of the dead than a ghost.

"What if he finds it?" Elaine couldn't help asking.

Fars raised his eyebrows indifferently, "I don't know either, it's not mentioned in the book."

Rad spoke suddenly. "It seems that it will free that ghost, I heard it is so."

Elaine also nodded. "That's what I've heard."

Fars's black eyes narrowed, showing some sarcasm, but he didn't show it. "Ah, who knows."

"Then now...do we have to help Yeke find something before we can leave?" Ladd asked tentatively.

"The thing that Yeke is looking for is not necessarily in the cave, or it may not exist anymore." Fals frowned, "He will follow us just because he thinks we took his things."

"We didn't!" Elaine denied in a deep voice.

"I said, he thinks." Is the knight always obedient?

"Then now?" Elaine scratched her head in embarrassment.

"I have a way to make him appear," Fals replied.

An hour later, they saw the little monster named Yeke.

It was an ugly monster as tall as a goblin, reaching only to Elaine's knees.

His skin is brown, as if soaked in water for a long time, the skin is all wrinkled, and there is no hair on his body, he looks uglier than a goblin.

With a wrinkled face like an old man, he stood in the middle of the cave and cried, tears falling from his red eyes, as if the three humans in front of him had bullied him too much.

"So Yeke looks like this!" Elaine exclaimed, frowning at Yeke who was as ugly as a goblin.

Fars watched silently.

This is caught by magic, otherwise there is no way to catch Yeke with these humans alone.

Yeke is a cunning little monster, but he likes them very much, because they will pay for their wrongs.

Yeke rubbed his eyes with his claw-like hands, and said in a soft voice, "Please, please...give me back the things."

"What?" Seeing him crying pitifully, Elaine couldn't help but soften her voice, "What did you lose? Maybe we saw it on the road."

"Hat, sir, a red hat!" Jake screamed suddenly. "My hat is gone. I've searched every corner, every corner!"

His voice was uglier than Night Owl's, with a creepy sharpness, and the entire cave was filled with his voice.

"I can't believe it, some thief stole my hat?!" he kept screaming, louder and shriller than the woman screaming, "My hat! My red hat! When will I find it ?!"

He covered his eyes with his stubby fingers, tears flowed from between his fingers, and his thin body trembled slightly.

This somewhat made the so-called merciful knight sad, so Elaine interrupted him after the Yeke cried for half an hour.

This kind of little monster doesn't care about the time when it cries, after all, they have nothing else to do but cry and look for things.Not so with the three of them.

"That... your hat, what does it look like?"

The yek finally woke up from his sorrow and looked at Elaine with big eyes.His eyes have no eyelids, so he doesn't need to blink. Inside are red pupils, showing an ominous color. Although the eyes are big, they have no expression.

He said in a hoarse voice: "It's a beautiful red hat, it's made of velvet, with a red ribbon wrapped around it, and some beautiful feathers beside it, that's mine...but it's missing." it's..."

"We don't seem to have seen—" before Elaine finished speaking, the yek cried again.

"My hat! My hat!"

Ladd couldn't stand the noise, and couldn't help but growl, "If he dies, can the spell be undone?"

"It's better not," Fars said, "Yek's spell will rebound after he dies."

"Then what should I do?"

Fars's patience was almost at the limit, so he stood in front of Yeke, knelt down and said softly, "Hello."

The Yeke stopped crying, raised its small head, and looked at Fars with red, godless eyes.

"We're getting out of here." Fars stared at him with dark eyes.

Yeke looked at Fars, and after a long time, he showed a strange expression and said, "Who are you?"

"What do you think?" Fars laughed, a little childish.

Yeke watched for a long time, but no more tears came from his eyes. "I have never seen a soul like yours."

Fars still smiled at Mimi, with his finger between his lips. "I don't want you to be as rude as a knight."

Yeke covered his eyes with his fingers, but this time no tears came out, his thin body trembled slightly, "Sir, sir, please help me...please help me..."

He turned a deaf ear to it, and the intense running just now made him just want to get out of here quickly and take a good rest. "Sorry, we want to get out of here, will you undo the spell?"

Jake put his fingers down and looked at him with red eyes.

In Elaine's eyes, this was a very strange scene. He could see Yeke's appearance, but Fars was squatting behind his back, so he couldn't see his expression.

But Yeke's expression is a bit scary now, he can't tell where it has changed, but the big eyes shining with strange light make the atmosphere gradually change.

For a normal person, this kind of gaze is really scary enough.Thinking of this, Elaine wanted to pull Fars back.

As soon as he took a step, Jake spoke. "I won't let you go until I find the hat."

"But..." Fars' voice was very gentle, and it was completely impossible to hear that he was extremely impatient. "You know, it's not in the cave."

"Can you help me find it?" Jake asked in an eager voice, wanting to pounce on Fars, but didn't dare, "My hat...red..."

"Okay." Fars said casually, and Elaine frowned at the relaxed answer.

Even knights who don't know magic know that you can't make promises to monsters casually, but before Fars had time to remind him, he had already agreed.

"I believe in you, I believe in you!" Yeke said while rubbing his hands and lowering his head, "But people like you are very cunning, what should I... what should I get from you?"

How dare this little monster doubt him?Although he really just wanted to fool the past, it still made him unhappy to be pointed out clearly.Fars snorted coldly, and finally showed an impatient expression, but because there were two knights standing behind him, he didn't speak any more.

When Yeke raised his head, what he saw was Fars' cold eyes.

Those eyes were pure darkness, without a trace of light, and the inside was as quiet and desolate as a cemetery, more terrifying and dangerous than the darkness of this cave.

Yeke's body began to tremble, no longer from sadness and sadness, but from fear.

Even though he didn't feel the pain and cold, he could still feel the cold feeling of being strangled by the throat.

So he quickly said, "You can go, you can go!" He cried out in panic, "As long as you remember what you said, go!"

As he spoke, he took a few steps back and ran into the darkness that they couldn't see.

"Are you all right, Fars?" Elaine stepped forward.

Finally solved.Fars let out a breath, and then said with a frightened expression: "This is simply too scary, I rarely see such a little monster." He rubbed into Elaine's arms as he spoke, that kind of warmth The feeling inexplicably made him greedy.

Ladd sneered beside him. "We have never seen such a little monster in our life, Mr. Apprentice."

"I told you, I'm not an apprentice!" Fars couldn't help but glared at him.

"Okay Fars, don't worry." Elaine comforted him softly, patting him on the back, "Let's go."

Nodding, Fars walked forward by him, with Ladd in the rear.

Fars felt the magical aura around him recede, and after walking for a while, the darkness was not so deep, and even a faint light could be seen.

After walking out of the cave, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked outside, there were only low shrubs that were staggered, broken, and flattened.

There are stars in the sky, and the moonlight shines down, covering this miserable forest with a layer of tulle.

"Where's the dragon?" Ladd looked around.

Ivan probably went back to catch up on sleep after cooperating with him in this play.Fars thought.

Elaine bent down, looked at the exaggeratedly large footprint, and then looked up at the surrounding woods. "It seems to have disappeared here."

He moved his eyes to Fars, intending to comfort him again, but just in time to see the night wind blowing his black hair and his fair skin, revealing a little charm, he looked away in a panic, "I think , maybe you have to go back to the city and tell the people from the Church of Light."

"Then let's go back." Ladd whistled. "Think about how surprised those guys will be. We went hunting and found a black dragon."

The three of them headed towards the royal capital of the United Kingdom of Stemes.

"Be careful, there are stones and branches everywhere after being destroyed by the dragon." Elaine said softly with Fars in her arms, her blue eyes were like a clear sky, giving people an indescribable warmth.

Fars nodded and subconsciously looked into the cave.

Out of the moonlight, in the shadow of the hole, the ugly Jerk was looking at him with red eyes.

His stubby fingers held a black robe, which was his robe—representing the noble clothing of black robe mages.

The red eyes were sad, and the lidless eyes looked at them without blinking, and the tears fell, reflecting the light of the moon faintly, falling into the soil and disappearing.

It was at this time that Fals remembered the agreement he had almost forgotten - the Yeke gem that Geer wanted!

hateful!It was that run that made him so exhausted that he forgot everything, but fortunately he remembered in time that now he only needs to fulfill the promise he wasn't going to fulfill to Yeke.

It's just... where to find hats?
