The sun had already set halfway down, and the surroundings were dyed with a fiery red. The brown owl fluttered its wings and flew across the lake, speeding up and heading southwest, in the direction of the Floating City.

"Have you completed Germaine Valen's mission?" Rostry, clapping his hands, was a little amused to see the stunned look of the crowd. "You're not going to forget everything, are you? ”

"Ahem, we're getting ready to find the lake fairy. Felder hurriedly said.

"Lake fairy?" Rostri wondered.

"It's coming!" Elena pointed to the lake.

The calm water not far away became rippled, and soon the lake in the center of the ripples surged upward, and the current became more and more rapid, and the sound of uproar followed. A white figure quickly rises from the water.

Lydia was standing on the black "blanket" and floating towards the shore, like a carefully painted picture in the setting sun. In just a breath or two, Lydia was already on the shore.

"Prophet's Scepter?" she said, looking at the silver-white scepter in Felder's hand, her voice trembling slightly.

"I knew you would make it!" Lydia took the Prophet's Scepter from Felder's hand. She held the scepter in one hand, gently stroked the surface with the other, and whispered: "After so many years, I didn't expect to be able to find it, and I can contact my friends again......"

Lydia looked up with an excited expression, "Thank you, my friend, I will keep my promise." She calmed down a little and said, "What is the little girl you are looking for?"

"Well, that's it. Elena held a picture of her blistered crumpled picture out of her pocket.

Lydia looked at it and nodded.

Her eyes were gently closed, her hands crossed over her chest, and she was silently suspended above the water. A singing spell came out of her mouth, making people feel inexplicably calm.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened, and everyone's faces showed anxious looks.

Lydia suddenly opened her eyes and lowered the scepter in her hand, looking tired.

"Didn't find it?" Vane asked softly.

Lydia shook her head, "Found it, she'll be there right away." ”

Almost at the same time, a little girl suddenly appeared in the clearing in front of everyone. She was wearing a yellow dress, her brown hair with two pigtails, and some faint freckles on her face, which was none other than Mina.

A faint blue light emanated from her body, and behind her hands, she looked at everyone curiously.

"Who are you? Did my father tell you to come to me?" Mina asked, her eyes wide with anticipation.

"Vane, she'......" Elena looked at Vane.

Without waiting for Vane to speak, Mina spoke, "Big sister, I know I'm dead. It's terrible to be alone in the forest, I miss my dad so much, but I can't leave, I feel like I'm trapped here......" she sobbed softly.

Elena and Vane glanced at each other, she stepped forward, crouched down on one knee in front of Mina, and said, "Mina, we were indeed commissioned by your father to come to you, can you tell me what happened?"

Mina cried so much that her mouth was deflated, her body twitched and she couldn't speak, and it took a long time to slowly calm down. She wiped her tears and said with tears: "I was playing with my dad on the side of the road that day, I didn't know how to faint, and when I woke up, I found myself standing in a basement with a big cage next to it, and there was a monster eating ...... in it."

At this, Mina covered her face and cried.

"Mina, don't be afraid. You name it, and your brothers and sisters will avenge you. Elena reassured.

"That monster is eating a little girl, and that little girl is me...... I'm really scared...... Woo-woo-woo...... Mina crouched down, her hands over her face and trembling.

"What kind of monster is that?" Vane couldn't bear to remind her of those horrible images, but his instincts told him it wasn't easy.

"It looks a bit like a bear, but the eyes are red and have long claws and teeth. Mina's voice trembled. "By the way, there is also a man in a black robe next to him. ”

Vane was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "The man in the black robe?" is he wearing a hood and holding a sheep's skull staff in his hand?"

"yes, big brother, how do you know?" Mina said strangely, rubbing her reddened eyes.

Vane didn't answer, he clasped his hands, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Mina: "Mina, your father loves you very much, and your accident has hit him hard. Leave in peace, for your father's sake, and for your own sake. ”

Mina slowly stood up, the light on her body became more intense, and a smile squeezed out of her tear-stained face, "I see." Tell my dad that Mina loves him too and tell him to stop being sad for me. With that, Mina's body slowly disappeared into the air.

"Smack. "A crystal necklace fell to the ground. Elena picked it up. A faint light emanated from the crystal, flickering and dimming.

After a brief moment of silence, the group said goodbye to Lydia and boarded Minister Rostry's flying machine. It seems that Minister Rostryy has not been idle these days, the cabin has become larger, there are two more seats, and the propellers seem to have been replaced.

The aircraft took off slowly to the sound of the whirring wind and the roar of the machines turning, and accelerated towards Obojar.

"What about Katrina-senpai?" Vane asked.

"What?" Rostryy didn't hear clearly.

"I said, why didn't Katrina come along?" the noise around was so loud that Vane could only shout.

"She'll go first, don't worry about her!" shouted Minister Rostry.

The aircraft continued to sail in the dark night sky. The forest below resembles an endless abyss, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open. Vane couldn't help but imagine many times what it would be like if he suddenly fell.

Fortunately, there are instruments on the aircraft to identify the direction, and after more than half an hour of flight, the city of Obojar is already close at hand. At night, Obojar looks a little deserted, and the lights are scattered throughout the city.

The aircraft slowed down after crossing the eastern wall, and soon reached the top of the Mage's Guild. The skylight on the roof of the second floor has been opened, and the aircraft has landed steadily inside.

"Minister, you're back. Bud, the assistant, was already waiting, and he took Minister Rostry's staff and suitcase and went straight through the secret door. The crowd followed, and the bookcase closed with a thud.

Due to the time constraints, everyone decided to rest for the night in the Wizards' Guild after discussion. After two days of running, even falling asleep on a hardwood floor was very happy, at least safe.

Vane lay on the floor covered with his clothes, tossing and turning, his mind always thinking of Mina's appearance, the dark magician, the child-eating monster, the underground demon...... Gradually, his eyelids became heavy and his consciousness began to blur.
