"Julian, there's a hurdle over there."

"Julian, come here, you're in the middle of the road."

"Julian..."

Dai Ning looked at his friend who had passed the back door of the mage tower but didn't enter, sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull him back, "You also pay attention, the door is here..."

"Ah, sorry."

Being pulled by Dai Ning, Julian came back to his senses. He smiled embarrassedly, and hurried back to his friend.Dai Ning frowned at him, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? It's been like this since you came down from that small building. I've never seen you so dazed. Just now, you bumped into several people in Haishi..."

"I...I want to do something."

Julian answered vaguely.How should this be said?Did he say that because he didn't understand the relationship between himself and his current guardian, he was so troubled that he couldn't even walk?

"If you have anything to do, let's think about it when we go home. At least we should concentrate on walking..." Dai Ning muttered in a low voice, and he climbed up the wall first, and then pulled Julian up.

Originally, he thought he would come back after a meal, but ended up in the entrance guard, and had to sneak in through the wall of the back door, and then sneak back into the dormitory.It would be very troublesome if he was caught on the road, so no matter how confused Julian was, at this juncture, he still had to force himself to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

The two tiptoed like cats, quietly crossed the fence, and walked towards the small door of the dormitory.Just as they were passing through the porch, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"!"

Dai Ning quickly hid in the shadow of the corner, and at the same time took Julian with him, stuffing him behind him.He looked around and found that it was Manderon who was walking.

"...over there."

Dainin didn't trust Manderon, and he didn't think that his own magician would help cover up the two little apprentices who slipped out of the tower in the middle of the night... After all, his beloved apprentice was that Carter.He turned his head and made a back gesture to Julian, and the two held hands and turned into another corridor behind, intending to avoid it first.But just after turning a corner and taking two steps back, Julian felt that something was wrong behind him.He turned his head abruptly, just in time to see a somewhat eerie face illuminated by the magic lamp...

"babble--!"

Julian gasped without thinking, and it was too late when Daining tried to cover his mouth.Although it wasn't very loud, the boy's voice was still very obvious in the quiet night.

"Who?"

Of course Manderon heard it too.He frowned, raised the lamp and looked at it, but there was nothing in front of him.Just as he was striding forward, wanting to see who was still walking outside so late, someone came up to meet him.

"Ah, good night, Lord Manderon."

Tifeng held up the pyroxene lamp in his hand and greeted him with a smile.Julian and Dai Ning stood next to the magician, their expressions seemed a little stiff.

"Lord Tifeng? Julian and Daining? It's so late, what are you doing here?" Mandron looked at the three of them suspiciously, "What happened to that voice just now?"

"It's like this." Tifeng explained: "Because Julian and Daining are very interested in Holrant, we chatted in my room after dinner, and it was already late when we recovered. I I originally planned to send them back to their room, but seeing the beautiful moon outside, I took them out to have a look, and told them some legends and customs about the moon that are unique to Holrant.”

When he said this, the mage from a remote country was neither blushing nor out of breath, and coupled with that innocent smile that was a bit silly, people would not want to doubt his words at all.

"Does Master Manderon know? There is such a legend in Holrant... If you whistle at the moon at night, it may bring bad luck."

"I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of it." Manderon glanced at the three of them, coughed twice, "If you want to chat, don't stay in the corridor, it's bad if you disturb someone. Don't walk around outside so late, go back quickly."

After speaking, Manderon didn't ask any more questions, and he took the pyroxene lamp and left without hesitation.

Julian and Denin breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed when Manderon was far away.

"I was scared to death..." Dai Ning stroked his chest and took a few deep breaths, "I thought I was going to be caught."

"Well, thank you...Tifeng...Master Tifeng." Julian hurriedly thanked the magician who helped them out.

Just now when he turned his head and bumped into someone, his mind was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he couldn't help but let out a small scream before he could even see his face clearly.The man was also startled, he raised the pyroxene lamp in his hand a little higher, and only then did Daining and Julian see clearly that what they had collided with was Tifeng; at this moment, Manderon came from behind asking who it was Just when the two teenagers were in a panic and didn't know what to do, Tifeng suddenly made a silent gesture to them, and led them out of the corridor, and then With the following conversation.

"It's nothing. Although I don't know why you are still here so late..." Tifeng paused, "But you should be able to guarantee that you are not going out to do bad things, right?"

"Okay, okay. In fact, we just slipped out to eat supper, and didn't do anything else." Hearing his question, Dai Ning quickly nodded and assured, "It's not far, it's the small sea market behind. Really, we eat I'll be back when I'm done."

This is bringing out yesterday's situation... Julian thought so in his heart.But he just thought about it, and actually nodded his head in agreement with Dai Ning's words.After all, it would probably be even more troublesome if they said that they slipped out to hang out with an unknown fortune-teller all night.

"Next time, prepare some snacks and put them in the room. You are not allowed to run out at night, because it is still quite dangerous at night. If you are stolen, robbed, or injured, it will be terrible..."

While muttering, Tifeng led them back to the front of their own room.The two obediently bowed to Tifeng to thank them, and Dai Ning said sincerely: "Yeah, we won't do it next time, I'll go buy some biscuits and put them away tomorrow."

"Well, I can see that you are two good boys." Tifeng smiled, then blinked slyly, and said: "—Or, if you take me there, if you are accompanied by an adult magician, It's not against the rules."

"Oh... That's right, next time we invite you, please be sure to honor Tifeng-sama."

Dai Ning rubbed his hands, deliberately put on a fawning look.Both Tifeng and Julian couldn't help laughing, and the magician from Holrant said, "Don't add honorifics, just call me Tifeng. Judging by your performance today, each of you has the level of a formal magician." , This honorific title sounds awkward to me. Okay, good night, may the night bless you all for a good night's sleep."

Tifeng made that wonderful gesture on his chest again, then turned his head and left.Dai Ning watched the mage go away, and murmured: "Worship the night, not the moonlight...they are also very interesting. I don't know if everyone in Holrant is like this."

"Well... as long as you are a good person anyway? Religion is free." Julian replied.

"That's right." Dai Ning didn't continue to dwell on this issue.He patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'm back home safely. If you want to think about anything, just sit on the bed and think about it. Remember to sleep. Just don't be sluggish tomorrow."

"I..." Julian felt a little embarrassed after being teased like this. He subconsciously rubbed the root of the finger wearing the ring with his thumb. When he touched it, he didn't touch the expected round metal, but directly pressed against it. on the skin.

Julian turned pale all of a sudden.He immediately raised his hand, and there was nothing on his thin white hand.

"...Julian?"

Dai Ning looked suspiciously at his friend who suddenly changed his face, and saw him staring at his hand, and when he followed his gaze, Dai Ning also frowned.

"No... gone!"

When Julian spoke again, his voice was crying, "Lord Hal's ring!"

"Why...you didn't take it off? When you washed your hands or..."

"No, I wear it all the time!"

Julian was extremely flustered, and murmured to himself with trembling voice: "Why...why did it disappear? Did it fall? Where did it fall? Did it fall on the small building? Or did it fall in the sea market? I...I I have to find it, I..."

As Julian spoke, he wanted to run out, but Dai Ning quickly grabbed him.

"Hey, where do you want to go? Calm down, Julian, you can't find it now."

While comforting him, Dai Ning recalled the situation just now.

When they were in Mirage, he remembered seeing the ring.When he left the small building, at least when he was walking up the stairs, he still saw it, because he was curious to find that the ring would glow orange like a flame in the dark.

So, when exactly...

Dai Ning suddenly remembered that Julian bumped into several people.One of them helped the boy up...and then...

"—I was picked up."

Thinking of this, he spit out these three words coldly.

"G-tucked?" Julian repeated in panic, "When?"

"It's probably when you bumped into someone." Dai Ning clicked his tongue, "It was fine before, so I didn't remind you, it's too bad, it should be put away, after all, it's such a mixed place..."

"Then...then what do we do now?"

Julian's little mind went blank.He never dreamed that what Hal gave him was taken away. The panic and guilt in his heart stopped his thinking completely, and he couldn't think of a solution at all.

"No...can't I get it back?"

"this…"

Dai Ning frowned in embarrassment.Julian's ring is not common. If the other party drops his hand, it should not be difficult to catch someone; however, it is hard to say whether he can find it before they leave. After all, if the other party does not take it out, then I really don't know where to find it.

After much deliberation, there is really no other way except to discuss it with the First Prince tomorrow.Dai Ning comforted Julian a few more words, and repeatedly warned him not to sneak out at night, and they went to find Yaqibel when they got up together tomorrow, and then coaxed him back to the room.
