Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 15 Crystal Fruit

"A werewolf, to keep a flower?" Riel now began to wonder if Eren was talking nonsense. But it's no wonder that werewolves and flowers don't match no matter how you look at them.

"Yes, do you remember what it says in that book? ”

"Uh...... It seems that they were almost everywhere in the Hepu continent before the werewolf and merman tribes declined, and they were endangered with their disappearance?"

"That's right...... In my opinion, this is by no means accidental. "And it seems that Mr. Adrian knows something, at least he is eighty percent sure, otherwise he wouldn't let the two of us go alone with the werewolves." ”

Alan touched the small burden and felt soft, but it was windy in the air, and he didn't dare to open it, otherwise it would be blown away in an instant.

"Okay...... If that's what you say, I just hope it's still too late. Riel seemed to be persuaded by Alan, and as he spoke, he pointed under them for Alan to see.

Alan then realized that they had reached the northeastern tip of the Serenity Mountains, and the roundup below seemed to have begun. At the foot of the mountain, there were a lot of people, two or three hundred. The rain was not heavy, no one held an umbrella, everyone wore hoods to protect themselves from the rain, and they were either holding magic wands or rakes, shovels and other farm tools in their hands, all with a look of waiting. Alan also spotted Mr. Connor in the crowd, as he looked particularly conspicuous because he was tall.

The crowd first surrounded the entire mountain, and then slowly searched from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, because there was only grass above the mountainside, and there was no obstruction at a glance, so only the forest part needed to be searched. They are very close to each other, promising to support each other if they encounter a werewolf.

Alan swallowed, thinking to himself, according to this formation, the werewolf must not be able to escape.

Soon, the easternmost mountain was searched, and no werewolves were found. Mr. Connor and several others were left to guard the pass between the two mountains to prevent the werewolves from sneaking back to where they had already searched, while the others searched the middle mountain in the same way.

The light rain was still falling, and Arthur was carrying Alan and Riel around the crowd. They also wanted to find the werewolf as soon as possible, but they were obscured by the forest, and they couldn't see what was happening in the forest.

Alan was in a hurry, feeling that every second passed so slowly. On the one hand, he hopes to find the werewolf before the search party, and on the other hand, he prays that his reasoning is correct.

Just as the round-up team was about to search halfway up the mountain, the two suddenly heard several explosions, and a group of goldfinches were frightened and fled in all directions.

Smoke began to rise not far from their feet, and then someone was heard shouting, "It's here! Then there were several more explosions, and Alan heard someone shouting, "Come here! I've hit it!"

Alan was starting to get nervous, because the last thing he wanted to see might happen. But as far as the eye could see, there were trees, and he couldn't see anything moving at all.

However, Riel seemed to see something, and pointed to a bush not far from the crowd and said to Allen, "I see it! There it is, running to the top of the mountain!"

So Alan hurriedly motioned for Arthur to land at the edge of the forest. But Arthur was obviously unwilling, and although he was constantly lowering his flight altitude, he would rather hover close to the ground than fall.

Just when Alan was in a hurry, he saw a slightly familiar black shadow pop out of the forest...... Exactly that werewolf!

It was hunched over and was running forward.

However, it appears to be injured and limping from its run.

There was no place for him to hide in front of him, and the noise behind him was getting closer, and people were about to catch up!

When Arthur saw the werewolf, he immediately wanted to fly high again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Alan had to quickly take the crystal fruit out of his pocket, waving at it and shouting loudly to attract its attention.

The werewolf was just looking for a place to hide, but after hearing Allen's shout, he also raised his head and saw them, was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed direction and ran towards them.

Alan stuffed the fruit of the crystal flower into a small bag and threw it at the werewolf with all his might before Arthur could fly high.

It is very agile, and it can accurately catch the package in the air and quickly unwrap it. The fruit of the crystal flower fell out, and it immediately picked it up and stuffed it into its mouth and swallowed it, and then, something surprising happened!

I saw that the werewolf's body immediately began to change: its expression looked painful, its size began to slowly become smaller, the hair and claws on its body gradually faded, its face became closer and closer to a human, its tail became shorter and shorter, and finally it simply disappeared! The werewolf, who was still feared just now, turned into a young man in just a few tens of seconds!

However, I don't know if the effect of the crystal flower was too strong or it consumed too much physical strength, and he immediately fainted in the rain after turning into a human form.

Seeing this, Alan immediately urged Arthur to land, but this time Arthur did not refuse again.

When he got to the front of him, Alan found that there were a lot of blood stains on the ground, which turned out to be a wound on his thigh, which looked like it was caused by magic.

Alan jumped off Arthur's back, opened the baggage, found a black robe inside, and hurriedly put it on him.

At this moment, the people behind arrived one after another, but they found that the werewolf had run out of the forest and suddenly disappeared, and there were only two children in front of them, an animal with the body of a horse that no one had ever seen, and a young man lying still on the ground, so they all stood in place at a loss.

After a few moments, a bald uncle with a mustache on his lips came running out of breath and asked Allen, "What's going on? What are you doing here? Have you seen a werewolf? Where is it going?"

Alan didn't know which one to answer first, so he pointed to the west and said, "Over there, uh...... I saw it run out, attack the man, and burrow into the woods again. ”

"Chase!" the uncle immediately waved his hand and motioned for everyone to chase over there, and the people chased after him again. Before leaving, he also instructed: "Joseph, Bart, you two stay and take the injured person to the medical station." ”

Alan hurriedly waved his hand: "Uh...... No, no, just leave it to us and Arthur, fly faster. ”

"Oh...... All right. With that, the bald uncle looked at Arthur suspiciously, and he was gone.

When everyone was gone, Alan hurriedly used the levitation charm to move the werewolf to Arthur's back, and flew with him to Old Adrian's house.

By this time the rain had stopped, and Arthur could fly faster.

Old Adrian had not been anywhere all morning, and had been at home waiting for them to return. But he was not at all surprised to see the young man, as if everything was expected by him.

He had already lit a fire in the yard.

Alan and Riel put the wounded werewolf on the ground so they could see what he looked like.

He was a young man who looked to be about twenty years old, with short hair and compact features, a face that looked a little long, typical of a northerner, a beardless man, but the rest of his face was full of hair, almost in a single piece, tall but thin, and not even too much to describe as skinny, as if he had not had enough to eat all day.

"How is he? seems to be wounded?" asked old Adrian.

"Yes, the thigh, it looks like it was struck by magic. Riel said.

Old Adrian crouched down and lifted his robe, revealing a terrible wound on the outside of the werewolf's thigh, which looked scorched black though it was no longer bleeding.

"Oh, it's worse than I thought, it's the result of the elemental lightning magic...... But fortunately, it was not very powerful, and it did not hurt the bones...... Alan, please help me bring me a small bottle from the cupboard, a small bottle with 'Snow Melt Grass' written on it. Old Adrian said, "Ah, and gauze." ”

Alan quickly got everything.

Old Adrian explained as he poured the powder from the vial into the wound, "It is a mixture of the ashes left behind by the burning leaves of the snowmelt grass and their roots after they have been dried and ground into powder, and it is very useful for treating such wounds. He wrapped the gauze and tied it in a knot, and continued: "Snowmelt grass is not difficult to get, and every spring comes everywhere, as if it grew overnight...... But it's hard to dry them in a place like Beya, and I've only saved up that little in my fourteen years here. ”

"Well, Mr. Adrian," Alan interrupted him, asking, "is he alright?"

"Well, don't worry, he only suffered a little skin trauma, and he didn't bleed much, probably only fainted temporarily because of excessive fatigue and weakness, and he should be able to wake up soon. Old Adrian looked at Alan and teased, "What, you already want to hear him tell you stories?"
