Chapter 97

"Ah, sneeze!"

In the snow-white vimpal castle, he sneezed hard, wiped his nose with his hat, wrung out the rag, and wiped the copper ring handle on the gate.

After that terrible night, the hat stayed at vimpal College - after all, it was impossible for him to return to ancient wood Town, and for the boy, he couldn't find a more comfortable and safer place than the castle.

The kind, kind Dean gave him a job as a castle servant. As long as he cleaned the castle every day and helped the kitchen, he could have three hot meals and a storage room that could keep out the wind and rain. He had never heard of such a good thing even in Gumu town.

Thanks to these kind wizard masters, hat can't be more satisfied with life now.

After wiping the copper ring handle cleaner than the mirror, the boy put a rag on his shoulder, raised a mop and began to clean the porch column on one side. The noise from the distance made him move his eyes involuntarily.

Not far away, the main castle hall with the door open was brightly lit and noisy, like a banquet. Although I'm not sure, I've heard more or less about today. It seems that today is a very important day.

But these have nothing to do with hats, but the smell from afar reminds the boy's greedy insects - I'm afraid the exquisite pumpkin pie is piled into a mountain; The delicious potato cake is absolutely stuffed with cheese; And pineapple juice and mint tea, must have added lemon

After swallowing his saliva, his squirrel like hat looked around and made sure that there was no one around, he took out a hot chicken pie from his clothes - this is the extra money he "earned" when he helped the kitchen.

When a pie is eaten, the whole world feels better. After taking a look at the banquet that hasn't ended in the distance, there should be no talents in other parts of the castle. Maybe... I can "earn" more extra money.

The boy who made up his mind quietly left his place and timidly slipped into the North Tower, targeting Dalton kand's study.

He knows. Although the wizard is not good-looking, his collection is quite rich, and he has a bad habit of not liking to clean up. Therefore, what is often missing can only be found in a few days.

Probably because he doesn't have a wife? The hat speculated.

Around the door, climbed the empty stairs, stood on tiptoe all the way, and took out a thin wooden stick from his pocket. The goal is at hand. The door of the study is not difficult at all

"What are you looking for?"

The voice from behind made the hat turn around immediately, hid the thin wooden stick without trace, and showed a child like surprise smile on his face: "Mr. ain Rand, why are you back now?"

The little wizard standing in front of him was slightly different from the original - although he was still in a wizard robe, there was a silver pattern on the cuffs and hem, and a thick looking book hung on his side; The slender and delicate wand is carried on the right hand, and there is a Sterling Silver Spiral decoration on the top.

AI Yin's expression was a little hesitant, forced a calm hat, smiled and pretended to be a fool, slowly moved to the stairs with her back and hands, and was ready to run at any time.

"Well... I want to ask you a favor."

The little wizard who hesitated for a long time said, "it may be difficult for you, but please promise."

"Of course, please don't hesitate to give orders." the hat is still very fond of the kind wizard master, and is willing to help him a little: "as long as I can do it!"

"I want to go to Shenlin castle."

The silly smile on the hat's face immediately froze: "you, what did you just say?"

"Alas?" the little wizard was stunned. "Didn't I make it clear? Then say it again. I want to go..."

"Wait, wait... No, I can hear you!" the hat hurriedly stopped, "but, but how can you want to leave vimpal? I mean... It's winter!"

"This... The reason is very complicated, but I have to go to Shenlin castle." Ayn's expression is very tangled, but still very persistent: "I'll explain it to you, but please promise me now!"

"I really want to help you, but Mr. Ayn Rand, you are forcing people to do it."

The hat's face was full of embarrassment, with an expression of not knowing what to do: "let's not say whether we can borrow the carriage. Even if we can, it's a long way from here to Shenlin castle. I also heard that there are ogres there recently. It's too dangerous!"

Of course, there is Loren Turin in Shenlin castle, which is more dangerous than the ogre, but the hat won't mention this.

The little wizard was silent. Seeing the boy of hope, he immediately made persistent efforts and said, "how about we wait until spring? The weather will be much better and the road will be safer. How about you? Maybe you can go by yourself then!"

Leave the warm and comfortable vimpar and risk the heavy snow to the remote and dangerous shenlinbao? The hat won't be so stupid. Not to mention that Loren Turin is in that place. If he can, he will never want to see this again.

Cruel and cold, the negative impression of Loren has been deeply engraved in the young heart of the hat.

"Did you just want to steal from the tutor's room?"

The silent Ayn suddenly opened his mouth, tightened the string of his hat and giggled: "what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"I've seen it. It's not the first time you've done this," said the little wizard confidently. "Besides, I've been following you just now."

what?!

The hat almost subconsciously wanted to run, but AI Yin grabbed her right hand and couldn't even escape.

"I know it's too much, but..." the little wizard bit his teeth and ruthlessly clenched his hat's wrist: "but if you don't help me, I'll tell Dean Peter about it!"

"I'll apologize later, but now please promise immediately, otherwise you can only say sorry."

If she had a choice, the little wizard would not be willing to do such a thing - but she didn't have much experience in traveling outside all the year round in the North Tower. She didn't even know how to go when she left the castle.

So she needs an experienced guide who can trust each other. The hat she holds on to is naturally the best and only choice.

Under the naked threat of ayin, the hat can only choose to surrender - never thought that this seemingly kind man would also use the means of coercion. He is still too young and too simple.

"But... Why did you go to Shenlin castle?" the hat still couldn't help asking, "just curious, you don't have to answer me."

The little wizard who was asked hesitated, dodged his eyes and hesitated: "that's because... Some things have to end in person."

Is it about Loren Turin? The hat scratched his head, but didn't ask much.

Although I wanted to stay in the castle one more night, the hat with the handle had no choice at all. I just packed up my things and set out with the little wizard.

The banquet in the castle is not over yet, and the noisy singing of the apprentices can be heard in the distance - for those apprentices who have officially become wizards, this is the last indulgent night they can enjoy at vimpal college.

The flying snow piled up outside the gate of the castle. The two people who looked around walked behind the side door. When the hat went up and opened the door, they didn't forget to remind the little wizard behind them.

"When we find the carriage, you'll give it to me and sit there without saying anything - really, as long as they know you're a wizard, they won't dare to pit you, so..."

Ayn didn't listen to what he said. When the side door opened, she widened her eyes and stared at the black robed wizard standing outside the door. The snow from head to foot had obviously been waiting for her for a long time.

"Dalton... Mentor?"
