Alan knew in his heart that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the true face of the banned book, but at the same time, it was also possible that approaching it hastily could bring them unknown dangers, as the elder Adrian said. But the more he struggled inside, the more he longed.

Eventually, he swallowed, as if with a great deal of determination, nodded, and led the way into the bushes.

Riel followed.

The two of them walked slowly towards the glow, one after the other.

Step by step, it's getting closer.

The forest was quiet, and Alan felt his hands shaking through the grass, and he could even clearly hear his heart beating faster and faster. He didn't know what the banned book meant to them, but he just couldn't contain his curiosity, and he prayed in fear that it wouldn't go away.

But when they stood close enough to see what it was, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and their nervousness vanished in an instant. There wasn't anything boxy, no books, not even a piece of paper. It was just a weed, a weed with purple flowers, and the light came from its little flowers.

Not only did Eren feel his nervousness swept away, but he even felt a faint sense of disappointment, the kind of disappointment that he hadn't been able to see what he had been looking forward to for a long time.

But it's strange that a weed's flower would emit this kind of light.

They approached and crouched down to take a closer look at it. They saw that the weed grew almost against the ground, with only two equally slender leaves on the slender stem, which grew and wound from close to the root in the direction of the flower, and finally wrapped around the sides of the flower. Its flowers look even more eerie, the petals look crystal clear, the layers are very complex but neatly arranged around the stamens, and the stamens continue to emit a faint purple light, and the whole flower is beautiful purple because of it.

"What kind of flower is this?" Riel looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the petals.

"Don't touch it!" Alan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Do you remember that Mr. Audrian said that this is a very dangerous color...... It's very similar to the color of the banned book. ”

Hearing this, Riel didn't dare to continue, and immediately obediently retracted his hand.

"Maybe Mr. Adrian knows what it is, after all, he is well-informed...... I'll go back and ask him in the evening. Allen said.

Since he doesn't wear glasses when he goes out, he wants to take a closer look.

But at that moment, they heard the sound of a soo behind them, and it was very rapid, as if someone had passed through the bushes and was rapidly approaching them.

The two of them hurriedly looked back, but it was too late, and a huge black shadow more than twice their size instantly threw Eren to the ground!

Alan fell to the ground, but when he saw what had knocked him down, his heart was immediately occupied by fear.

The furry and sharp claws pressed against Ellen's shoulder, and the pointed mouth was full of yellowish fangs that pressed into his face, and Alan could even smell the rancid heat coming out of its mouth, as well as a pair of small gray eyes with a fierce look......

"Is this ......" Alan was completely stunned, and even his thinking became sluggish, "Werewolf?"

He took a closer look at the sharp claws that pressed against his shoulder...... That's right, it's a werewolf...... A living werewolf!

Even though they couldn't believe their eyes, the dangerous creature in front of them was exactly what they had seen in the books!

The creature they had thought was only in books, the werewolf that suddenly appeared in front of them and that Mr. Connor had said could not exist in the Tranquil Mountains, had completely frightened Riel and slumped on the ground, bewildered.

Allen's brain was also in a mess, with the werewolf's low "whining" sound in his ears and a few drops of saliva dripping on his face. Because he was so scared, he only felt that he couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't even shout for help, but simply wanted to cover his face with his arms, although he probably knew in his heart that it didn't work.

Riel watched as the werewolf's fangs were slowly approaching Allen's neck, but he couldn't help at all. Knowing in his heart that he could not defeat the monster in hand-to-hand combat, he took out his wand, and after reciting a spell, he remembered that there was no spell that could be used against the werewolves in what they had learned so far.

All that left them was despair.

Alan was so frightened that he twisted his head to the side, squeezed out two words "Run" from Riel's mouth, and then closed his eyes and prepared to resign himself to fate.

But time passed little by little, and Alan waited for a long time and didn't see the werewolf bite down.

He felt a strange feeling in his heart, and opened his eyes tremblingly, only to find that the werewolf's mouth was getting farther and farther away from him. At last the werewolf let go of him, straightened up, looked at him, turned around and ran away in the direction it had come from. The figure disappeared into the dark woods in an instant.

Unaware of what was happening, Alan sat up slowly, looking at Riel with a puzzled look on his hand still holding his wand.

He thanked Rare, but Rare told him that it had nothing to do with him - he hadn't done anything.

Both of them were confused by what had just happened.

Originally, they both thought that their lives were coming to an end today, but a werewolf who was rated as dangerous in the book as "ED (Extremely Dangerous)" ran away without hurting a single hair!

Alan sat on the ground and thought about what had just happened, and he was very sure that there were indeed two furry claws that had pushed him to the ground, as well as the sharp-looking fangs and the small gray eyes that looked fierce...... It was indeed a real werewolf, not a hallucination!

It's just so bizarre.

So much so that the two of them stood for a long time before they remembered that it was better to go and join Arthur.

However, just as they were leaving, they accidentally caught a glimpse of the small purple flower that had disappeared at some point, replaced by a small fruit that emitted a faint purple light, which still looked crystal clear.

"It's incredible. After a while, Riel looked at Alan and said, "I wonder if we're both dreaming......"

"Yes......" Alan nodded, staring at the fruit, "I think it has something to do with it." ”

"If it's related to it, it means ......"

"Yes, if it had saved us because of it, then it might not be as dangerous as we thought. Well...... There may even be a better use. ”

"Then let's take it back to Mr. Audrian!" Riel suggested.

Alan nodded in agreement, and although there was no clear clue that what had happened just now had something to do with the fruit, he also felt that he should do it now.

So he carefully uprooted it, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in his pocket.

At that moment they heard another sound in the grass behind them, and they gasped in fright, and thought to themselves, "Could it be that the werewolf has returned!" The hearts of the two of them were relaxed.

It was probably because Arthur had been waiting for them for too long, so he chased after them all the way to the smell and sound. However, it was wary, and kept touching Eren with its head, as if to signal them to get out of here, and kept looking around. The three of them did not dare to go where they had never been, so they went back the way they came, and asked Arthur to take them back to Old Adrian's cabin.

Alan put only one hand around Arthur's neck all the way, and the other hand kept covering his pocket, for fear that the wildflower in his pocket would fall out.

By the time they landed, it was raining again.

Alan quickly opened the barrier and ran into the cabin with Riel and lit the magic lamp. It was only then that Alan realized that the clothes on his shoulders were torn, and they had been cut by the werewolf's claws. Fortunately, although they looked gray and covered in mud, they were not injured, except for some slight abrasions on the back of Allen's hands.

Riel ran to the river to fetch a bucket of water, and the two of them washed it briefly, and after discussing what had happened today, they stopped talking and waited quietly for old Adrian to return.

About an hour later, it was much darker and the rain began to fall heavily. Alan saw through the window that the barrier had been lifted, and knew that it was old Adrian who had returned, so he quickly opened the door and let him in.

Old Adrian had just put the umbrella away, and before he could ask them why they hadn't gone home but were here, Alan couldn't wait to take out the contents of his pocket.

"Oh, that's a rarity...... I haven't seen it for a long time......" Old Adrian recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "Crystal Flower!"
