Chapter 97 (2/2)
”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?”
