Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened MONOCULUS Chapter 20 The Same Night

I don't know how long it took, but the three of them were silent anyway, and before they knew it, the moon had crept up above them.

During this time, they passed through a small area of rather inhospitable mountainous area, where the soil had become desertified, as if due to a long period of drought. Since Alan was asleep last year when he was on his way to the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and when they passed by here on their way back from vacation, he had no impression of this place. However, after taking a closer look at the town in the co, he found that all the features of the town fit the Ravin brothers' description of their hometown, presumably Tumon.

"So that's the little black mountain in front of you?" Alan frowned slightly, remembering the scene when he met Kayla, "Hmm...... Kelly and his mom had been around for a long time, and it wouldn't be unusual if Kayla had followed the scent all the way there...... But ......"

Alan shook his head at the thought of this, because his instinct told him that Kayla didn't seem to be coming for Kelly's mother and son. If it was for this family feud, with the werewolf's sense of smell, not to mention the past ten years, he could catch up and kill Kelly's mother and son that night. But he didn't.

"Then what made him dare to break into a human gathering area after so much time?" Alan began to think back to every word Kayla had said at the time, and carefully analyzed it, "He said at the time that he had sniffed a familiar scent by chance, and then ran into Kelly even more by chance...... In other words, he came here for another purpose? And why? Why did he have to come here when the northern mountains were safer and enough to fill his stomach?"

Alan was puzzled and began to list all the clues that could be connected.

"Are you looking for something?" a bold idea popped into his mind after remembering that it was Burestu who had rescued him, "It was Burestu who rescued him, and they had gone to the Bitter Mountains together...... Have they been working together ever since, until now?"

Although there was no evidence to prove his guesses, Alan could not find any more plausible and probable explanation.

"If he really came out to look for something at the behest of Burrestu, then all this makes sense......" Alan nodded secretly, but when he thought of this, he suddenly and inexplicably felt uneasy in his heart.

"Looking for something?" Alan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fidget, "My dad and mom are also looking for something!"

Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

Alyssa and Riel are startled and look at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" asked Alyssa.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......" Riel replied simply, sitting back down, "thinking about something......"

"Dad's letter says they're being hunted and killed, and it's dangerous for them to be chased by......," Alan was trying to keep himself calm, but beads of sweat oozed from his forehead at the thought of this, "If they're looking for the same thing, then all these clues seem to be connected......"

"And the timing of my mom and dad's departure was weird...... They also set off fourteen years ago!" Thinking of this, Alan couldn't calm down at all, all the doubts, clues and speculations that had accumulated in his heart over the years seemed to have an inexplicable relationship, making him feel as if he was only one step away from the truth, but he would never be able to touch it.

"Fourteen years ago, a lot of strange and shocking things happened in Krivari, but at the same time, my parents, who lived hundreds of miles away, set out to find something...... The two cases obviously happened in Krivari, but several of them appeared in Beya for some reason...... Forbidden books of magic, which were supposed to exist only in legends, suddenly began to appear around us frequently and without warning...... The werewolf tribe seems to have suddenly made a move after more than a decade of vanishing, and at about the same time, Frost warns us that Arne Bérestu is coming......"

All the mysteries surged into Allen's mind at once. Remembering what Mr. Connor had said, all of which were closely linked to the fate of the two of them, suddenly an invisible pressure struck him, making him feel a little difficult to breathe, as if these unknown dangers would soon come before them. Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but close his eyes, clenched his hands, and began to tremble.

After experiencing the incident with Professor Frost, Alan had thought that the "great event" that the Immortal Tree was talking about at that time and was about to happen might be referring to this incident...... But now he doesn't think so...... It was no coincidence that these seemingly unrelated things were now so clearly connected, and it seemed like they couldn't avoid it......

At this moment, Alan suddenly felt a warm sensation coming from the back of his hand, as if someone was holding his hand. However, it seems that it is precisely because of this heat that he feels an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, and his body gradually stops trembling.

He opened his eyes to find Alyssa crouching at his feet, holding his hand with both hands. The bracelet he had made for her on her wrist was glowing faintly.

"What's wrong with you?" Alyssa's voice came into her ears again, "I just called you and didn't respond for a long time...... Isn't there something uncomfortable?"

Eren realized that he hadn't heard Alyssa's voice at all because he was thinking too seriously just now.

"Nothing...... I'm fine. Alan breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed, "Thank you......"

Looking at Alyssa's concerned eyes, although he felt very reassured, but after all, this was in front of Riele, Alan couldn't help but blush, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Uh...... The dress is beautiful and fits perfectly...... Did Grandma weave it for you?" In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Alan took the initiative to find a topic.

She is not wearing the same one her mother wore when she died in the line of duty, although the embroidery on this sweater is also maple leaves, but the color and pattern are completely different.

"It's not. Alyssa returned to her seat and smiled lightly, "It's me...... Grandma's physical condition has never been good, and I can do what I can to try not to trouble her. ”

"Oh...... Then you're really ingenious. Alan laughed, "I don't seem to know anything but reading ......."

"But I think it's also a good thing to like to read. Alyssa smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I don't like hanging out so much?"

Alan wanted to say something, but at this time, Riel, who had been silent next to him, suddenly stood up and shouted, "Stop!"

Alan turned his head to look at him in surprise, only to realize that he was not yelling at himself, but at the two unicorns.

The carriage slowly stopped.

"I want to ...... Go out and breathe. Riel lowered his head and said, "By the way, it's convenient." ”

"Oh...... Hmm......" Alan nodded, "Then I'll go with you......"

"No need. Before Allen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Riel and went down the car door on the other side alone.

Although Alan noticed that Riel's mood was not normal lately, and he didn't seem to talk much since he got in the car, which was completely different from his usual self, Alan didn't know what to say at all, and didn't even know how to bring up the topic, so he had to sigh and give up.

However, as soon as Riel got out of the car, Alyssa and the others began to be silent again. Eren looked at her and saw that she seemed to be worried about Riel's emotions as well.

The scenery outside the window made Alan look slightly familiar, and when he looked forward through the moonlight, he realized that not far away seemed to be the mountain area where Kayla stopped his way last time.

"Where is this?" said Alyssa, as she seemed to notice it, as she looked around, "It looks familiar." ”

There are woods on both sides, and although they are slightly sparse, they look shadowy and a little creepy in the moonlight.

"Further on is Little Montenegro. Alan said, "That's the werewolf we met there last time. ”

Alyssa seemed to be a little more alert when she heard this, and began to stare at the woods on both sides.

"Don't worry, I don't think that werewolf is around here now, it seems to have just happened to pass by here last year. Seeing that Alyssa was a little nervous, Alan comforted.

"Shhhh......h

"What's wrong?" asked Alan, curiously.

"Tell Riel to come back!" Alyssa suddenly exclaimed after looking around for a moment, "they're rapidly approaching like this...... More than one!"

"What's more than one?werewolf?" Alan was stunned and looked around, but saw nothing, but Alyssa's expression told him that she wasn't joking.

"One, two, three, four......" Alyssa nodded vigorously, closed her eyes, and began to count, then suddenly opened her eyes and took a breath of cool air: "There is ...... Six!"

Alan was shocked, and although he couldn't believe that he would meet a werewolf again, he still chose to believe Alyssa, so he immediately pushed the car door. Before he could say anything about Rare, he noticed that Rare had scurried out of a nearby bush in a panic and was running towards them.

"Run!" said Ariel, yelling at the two unicorns as soon as he slipped into the carriage.

But the two unicorns reacted in the same way as last year, and began to spin around restlessly, but they just didn't take a step forward.

Alan was shocked, and then he realized that it seemed to be true.

"It's, they'......" Riel trembled uncontrollably with fear, unable to even speak, "Werewolves...... More than one werewolf is approaching us!"
