They don't know much about fishing, or they are two outright laymen, who only know that they need to use rods, lines and bait, and they don't know any details. It's just that after seeing the old Adrian fishing, he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and also learned from him to sit there motionless and close his eyes to recuperate.

Their luck was good, and not long after they put the hook in the water, Alan felt that the rod he was holding was jerked by something—something hapless had taken the bait!

Seeing this, Riel hurried to help, and Arthur, who was eating the sparkling fish happily, seemed to have noticed the movement here and flew over this way. By the time Arthur flew to them, the two had basically controlled the rod and were almost pulling it out of the water.

It was indeed a large dreaded acanth, with two eyes the size of mung beans and a large greedy mouth showing first, then its writhing speckled brownish body, a row of short spines on its back, and no scales on its body.

"Wow, such a big one, at least I've been in this lake for more than ten years!" Riel exclaimed, "Hey, how about you make soup with it at noon today?" Rare's eyes lit up, as if he had smelled the aroma of fish soup.

Alan just nodded, not daring to relax at all, because the dreaded epineth didn't seem to be going to be caught, and was still twisting its body and making a final struggle.

Alan turned his head and looked at Riel for a moment, counting "one, two, hey!", and then exerted all the force at the same time, finally lifting it completely out of the water.

However, what they didn't expect was that before the excitement passed three seconds, and before the two of them could even fully smile on their faces, they felt that as soon as their hands were loosened, the fish began to fall vertically, and the hearts of the two of them instantly cooled by half - it was unhooked. The two of them squatted on the ground because of the excessive force.

Seeing that the dreaded acantha was about to fall back into the water, and the fresh fish soup was gone, Riel was reluctant, and tears of distress were about to fall.

The colacanth also glanced at them with its small eyes the size of a mung bean, and twisted its tail as if to celebrate its victory.

But just as it was about to touch the surface of the lake, a dark shadow swept by and swept it away in the air, leaving only a wave.

The eyes of the two chased over, and it turned out to be Arthur. The lad arrived at just the right time.

Arthur stopped unhurriedly on the shore, threw his head up, threw the fish into the sky, opened his mouth and swallowed the fish in his stomach, and screamed with special satisfaction, as if he had a full burp.

Riel slumped on the floor, muttering about his delicious fish soup.

Alan had to stand up and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't be too sad, there are still plenty of fish, uh...... It's better than letting it run, right?"

The two of them set up their fishing rods again. However, after some tossing just now, it seemed to scare away all the fish nearby, and it took a long time for their fishing line to finally move again.

However, they were more comforted by the fact that the process was much smoother after that.

Towards noon, the keg was filled with coacanths. Sensing that old Adrian must have returned, they decided to leave.

Arthur was probably full, lying on his stomach with his eyes closed, moving his tail from time to time.

Alan went over to wake him up, and he got up and shook off the dirt off his body, and returned the two of them the way they came.

On the way back, Arthur flew very fast, but it was much more stable than when he came, at least they didn't have to hold his neck to prevent themselves from falling, and it didn't take long for them to reach the old Adrian's house safely.

Alan could see from a distance that the barrier had been lifted, and that old Adrian had raised the bonfire and was chopping wood on the side.

"Split!" When Arthur landed, Alan happened to see old Greg use a burst charm to split a piece of wood evenly into three pieces.

"Oh, I thought there was a thief coming in, and even Arthur was taken away, and it turned out to be Mr. Pattner and Mr. Connor. Old Adrian pretended to be serious.

"Long time no see, Mr. Audrian. The two walked up to him and greeted him at the same time.

"I was about to go to the Ministry of Security to report the crime, it turned out to be a good thing that you two did. Old Adrian continued to joke with them.

The two of them had become accustomed to his banter and looked at him with a smile.

"Actually, when I got home, I found that Arthur didn't come out to greet him, and when I went back to the house to find that he wasn't there, I knew that you two must have been there. Old Adrian said.

"Your observation is as sharp as ever. Allen said.

"Oh no, I'm probably regressing in terms of observation," said old Greg to Allen, "or rather, your skills have improved...... Yes, because I didn't even realize it in the first place, and this barrier was planted by you, not the one I planted before I left. You know, the enchantments you've planted in the past have always been fragile and incomplete, and I can see it at a glance. Old Adrian smiled with relief, and continued: "Oh, I almost forgot, the campfire has been up for a long time, do you want to have a grilled fish today?"

"Dumbfounded!" "Rare had long wanted to do something to the barrel of ecanths, and as soon as he heard old Adrian say this, he immediately started to do it. Although he has to pluck and skin the fish, as long as it involves eating, Riel is always enthusiastic, and everything is not a problem.

During this period, they will not repeat the detailed processing process one by one.

When everything was cleaned up, the fish were skewered and placed around the campfire, and the three of them sat down around the campfire.

At this time, clouds began to gather, blocking the sun, and the woods immediately became much darker.

Alan began to talk to old Adrian about the trivial things that had happened these days, and the upcoming final exams. Riel kept turning the four fish over and over again, and by the time Alan was attracted by the smell of the grilled fish, the four colacanths had been grilled until they were browned and beckoning to them.

There are only three of them, so why four......? Alan had just taken a bite, only to find that Rare had already eaten the first one and was already munching on the second one......

"It tastes so good! It's a completely different texture from fish soup, isn't it, Alan?" Riel didn't forget to comment as he ate: "There are no pesky fish bones, you can eat meat without any scruples, the surface is crispy and the inside is tender...... Oh my God, I'm so glad I was pricked by it, otherwise I would have missed out on this earthly delicacy!" Alan smiled at old Adrian as he listened, probably the only one who could have said so incisively.

However, being mentioned by Riel reminded Alan of something that he cared about more - the mysterious disappearance of the luminous object.

Not long after that incident, as Riel was recuperating at home, and the Connors were concerned for their safety, they were forbidden to go out at will, except for when Riel's foot was healed and the family went to Old Adrian's house to thank him.

Alan had been trying to ask old Adrian if he knew what that glowing thing was, but he never had a chance. After describing this to Mr. Connor, Mr. Connor was surprised at first, as if he knew something, but then told Alan that they must have hallucinated, and then said nothing. Alan will not be suspicious and no longer ask questions.

In the years that followed, Alan and Rare spent the years preparing to enter the local school of basic magic. The excitement of finally starting to learn magic, and the fact that there are so many languages to learn, made him forget about it.

Until Alan was twelve years old, Riel entered the local basic magic school with him a year early.

Fresh magical knowledge is pouring in, and as they grow older, little by little, they obscure their childhood memories. But since the other day, after carefully recalling the events of six years ago, the question of what exactly that mysterious luminous body is has been haunting Allen.

It's like a needle that constantly stimulates Alan's curiosity.

"Well, Mr. Audrian......," Alan asked suddenly, "is there anything you know that shines?"

"Glowing? That's too much, the sun, the stars, the oversized fireflies. Old Adrian quipped.

"No, no, no, it's not like that," Alan interrupted, "it's in the water, and it's in that faint blue-purple light, flickering and flashing, uh...... It will also disappear suddenly. ”

When old Adrian heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "And then?"

"Uh...... It's a boxy thing, and it seems to have a pattern on it. Alan noticed the change in Old Adrian's expression and continued to describe.

"When have you seen it!?" Old Adrian looked even more surprised, and his tone was completely different from usual, and he hurriedly asked.

"It was six years ago that Riel was injured because of ......"

"Why did you only think about this now!" said Old Adrian's tone a little heavy, and even a little reproachful.

"Uh...... Because I asked Mr. Connor before, and he said that we must have hallucinated...... It wasn't until a few days ago that I remembered it by chance. Alan replied truthfully.

At this time, Riel was also attracted by the conversation between the two of them, put down the fish in his hand, and listened quietly on the side.

"Listen to me, you two ......" Old Adrian showed a serious expression that he had never seen before, and the firelight jumped on his face, even looking a little terrifying, "If you see it again in the future, you must be cautious and careful! Do not approach it, let alone try to touch it! It is not a good thing to emit a blue-purple light...... It's dangerous, it's the color of death!"

Alan was shocked when he heard this.

Old Adrian paused and continued: "I have lived for so long, and as far as I know, there is only one thing that fits this description perfectly......" The two of them held their breath and looked at Old Adrian seriously, "That is the forbidden book of magic that only exists in legends!"
