Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 14 Werewolves and Crystal Flowers
Alan wasn't too surprised, of course he had already guessed, after all, he and the tooth were once so close.
Rare also seemed to understand something, he quietly tugged at the corner of Alan's clothes, and handed a questioning look, and Alan nodded slightly to him.
"And it's a full-grown werewolf's canine!" said Mr. Connor's face grimacing.
"What the hell is going on? Mrs. Connor asked again.
Mr. Connor's brow furrowed, and after a long time he said, "I think I should correct what I said not long ago about the lack of werewolves near Beya...... There is no doubt that, judging from this tooth, it is likely that the vicinity of Beya is ...... Well...... There is indeed a werewolf wandering. Mr. Connor looked uncomfortable when he said this, for he had sworn that there could be no werewolves in the vicinity, and now he had overthrown him.
"More than half a month ago, a sheep disappeared from the old Gordon's house, and at that time, because there were too few clues and there was not enough evidence to prove the existence of werewolves, it had to be abandoned in the end...... Today, however, another one of his goats is missing, and although there are still not many footprints left this time, there are several obvious scratches on the fence of the old Gordon's flock, and there is still this tooth on the ground...... Yes, a werewolf did appear in the Serenity Mountains...... A werewolf acting alone, it's unnatural. Mr. Connor scratched his hair and continued, "Although there have been no injuries yet, there is no doubt that it poses a great threat to the safety of the residents of Beya...... In order to appease the anger of the elder Gordon and to reassure the people, the minister convened three emergency meetings today to discuss how to deal with this matter...... Just before I returned, the final meeting decided that everyone in the Ministry of Security should be organized early tomorrow morning, including me, the deputy minister, and the young and strong boys of the town to search the mountain, and we must catch it as soon as possible! If we can't catch it, at least drive it out of the Tranquility Mountains!"
"Oh, and ...... We're sure it's hiding in some dark corner of the Tranquil Mountains, and you must not go near it all this time, remember?" Mr. Connor said this, and then stopped speaking, and began to eat as if he were facing a great enemy.
After all, werewolves are taller than an adult, and they are stronger and more agile.
Several of them also realized that tomorrow's mission was full of danger, and they looked at each other and stopped talking. No one is in the mood to mention tomorrow's birthday for the two children.
Alan also frowned, not that he was worried that his birthday might not be celebrated, but that he was inexplicably worried about this werewolf.
He didn't know why it would let him go, he wanted to know why. Perhaps old Adrian's words were at work, and he even really began to want to hear the werewolf explain the reason to him.
When the two returned to their room after dinner, Riel saw Allen's thoughts and asked, "So...... What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Allen said.
"Listen to me, Ellen, aren't you stupid enough to be grateful to it just because it didn't eat us?" Riel kind of saw through Eren's thoughts.
Alan sat on the bed, his head bowed and did not speak.
"Even if it lets us go, it's a werewolf after all! Think about its claws...... And its fangs!" Riel said, gesturing.
Alan still didn't speak.
"And maybe it wasn't its intention to let us go at all, but the crystal flower was doing it...... Don't be stupid!I don't think we'll be so lucky if we run into it again!" Riel paced back and forth as he continued to try to convince Alan.
"Crystal Flower!" Allen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, Crystal Flower!"
"What?"
"I'll explain to you tomorrow," Alan said, and then got into the bed, "I think we should go to bed, and tomorrow we need to get up early and go to Mr. Odrian." Alan said neatly, as if he had thought of something.
"Good night, Riel. With that, Eren extinguished the magic lamp on his desk.
Ryel found that his persuasion had no effect at all, and instead was confused, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and went back to his bed.
The next morning, the rain had almost stopped, and only a few drops fell from time to time.
Mr. Connor hurried out of the house after breakfast, and the two of them made an excuse to tell Mrs. Connor that they had made an appointment with Old Adrian to help him train with the Burst Charm, and went all the way to Old Adrian's house.
When they arrived at Old Adrian's house, he was making breakfast in the yard by lighting a fire.
"Hey, good morning, gentlemen, although I'm used to the weather in Beya, Arthur doesn't like it very much, he hates the raindrops getting his feathers wet. ”
"Mr. Adrian, we're not here for Arthur. Allen said.
"Oh, then what else could make you get up so early to come to me, old man?" said old Adrian, a little surprised.
"It's about the werewolf...... Allen said.
"Oh, what did it do?"
"Well, yes, it had done it to the old Gordon's sheep again the night before, this time so much noise that the Security Department was determined to catch it, but ......" Alan said here and suddenly stopped.
Old Adrian understood when he heard this, nodded to Alan with a smile, and said, "I'm glad you made a very correct decision, Mr. Pattner, there is no problem with this decision. With that, old Adrian went into his cabin.
After only about a minute he came out again, and he took out the fruit of the crystal flower and gave it to Allen, and handed over a small package, and said, "Go ahead! Without further ado, I hope this will help you." ”
Then he called Arthur with a whistle.
Although Riel was a little reluctant, he couldn't rest assured that Allen was still with him.
Arthur flew the two of them back to the Tranquil Mountains.
The temperature in the sky was very low, and from time to time there were raindrops in their eyes. Fortunately, the two of them were prepared and dressed very thickly.
It's no wonder that Arthur doesn't like to go out in this kind of weather, and no one else likes it, so he flew very slowly today.
Rare didn't understand the conversation between the two of them at all, so he started asking non-stop, "Uh...... I said, "Alan, you should explain to me what the hell is going on...... What's the use of this thing? And what's in this package? What does Mr. Audrian know?"
"Uh...... Actually, I don't know what you're asking. Alan gave Riel a slightly embarrassed look, and Riel was even more puzzled when he heard it.
"But that's what I can say to you...... These things must be useful, and we're on our way to help the werewolf evade pursuit. Allen said.
Rare's eyes were so frightened that he would have jumped up if it weren't for the sky: "Are you crazy? You were lucky not to be eaten last time, and you even took the initiative to send it to its mouth!"
"Hmm...... Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, I think we'll be fine. Seeing the disbelief on Riel's face, Alan continued, "Do you remember what Mr. Adrian said...... Yes, 'there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, there are just different positions,' and I also think, 'No one is born bad.'" ’”
Riel looked at him with a confused expression.
"Yes, I've been wondering what he's trying to tell us for the past two days...... So I recounted the conversation between Mr. Adrian and us that day, but I always felt that I was thinking less about it, and the more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became. Mr. Audrian's words are so profound that I am always guessing without any basis...... It wasn't until you mentioned the Crystal Flower to me yesterday that I connected all the details. ”
Riel began to listen quietly to what Eren had to say.
"It looks skinny, acting alone, we were attacked by it while observing the crystal flower, but it let us go, and it took half a month before committing the second case...... Do you know what that means?"
Riel shook his head blankly. Alan then patiently continued, "This means that it didn't attack to eat us, but probably just to scare us away...... In order to keep something. With that, Alan pulled the fruit of the crystal flower out of his pocket, "Yes, I guess...... It may have been to protect the crystal flower. ”
