Chapter 9 Blue Lake

They didn't have much knowledge about fishing, or they were two completely laymen who only knew that they needed to use fishing rods, fishing lines and baits, but they didn't know any specific details. However, after seeing the old Audrian fishing, they followed the example of him sitting there without moving and resting.

Their luck was pretty good. Not long after they put the hook into the water, Alan felt that the fishing rod he was holding was pulled by something - something was unlucky to be hooked! He was pulled and staggered because he didn't expect something to be hooked so soon.

It seems to be quite big! Riel quickly came to help when he saw this. Arthur, who was having fun eating bubble fish, seemed to have noticed the movement here and flew over here. When Arthur flew to them, the two of them basically controlled the fishing rod and were almost pulling it out of the water.

It was indeed a large dorsal sprigfish. Two mung bean-sized eyes and a greedy mouth were exposed first, and then it was twisting with spotted brown-yellow body, with a row of short thorns on its back, and there was no fish scales on its body.

"Wow! Such a big man, I've been in this lake for at least ten years!" Riel exclaimed, "Hey, Allen, how about stewing soup with it at noon today? When Mr. Aldrian comes back, it will be enough for the three of us to eat." Riel's eyes shone, as if he had already smelled the fragrance of fish soup.

Allen just nodded and did not dare to relax at all, because the sprig-back fish didn't seem to be planning to surrender, and was still twisting his body and making the final struggle. Allen turned around and looked at Riel, counting "One, Two, Hey!" at the same time, and then exerted force at the same time, finally lifting it up to the water surface.

However, before three seconds of excitement, the two of them even smiled completely, and they felt their hands relaxed and the fish began to fall vertically. Their hearts suddenly became cold - it was unhooked. They both squatted on the ground because they used too much force.

Seeing that the fish on the back of the sprig was about to fall into the water again, the fresh fish soup at the mouth was gone, Riel looked reluctant and tears of distress were about to fall. However, just as the fish on the back of the sprig was about to touch the lake, a black shadow passed by and took it away, leaving only a wave. The two of them chased after him. It turned out that it was Arthur, and the young man arrived just right. Arthur stopped on the shore slowly, raised his head, swung the fish into the sky, opened his mouth and swallowed the fish into his stomach, and screamed with satisfaction, as if he had burped.

Riel sat on the ground, muttering his delicious fish soup. Allen stood up and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Don't be too sad, there are more fish, uh...it's much better than letting it run, right?"

The two of them set up the fishing rod again, but after some trouble just now, they seemed to scare away all the nearby fish. After a long time, their fishing line finally moved again. Fortunately, what made them feel more comforted was that the process would be much smoother.

As noon approached, the bucket was filled with sprigfish. As the old man probably had come back, they decided to set off and return to the old Audrian house. Arthur was probably full, lying on the side, closed his eyes to rest, and moved his tail from time to time. Alan went over to wake it up, and he stood up and shook off the soil on his body, and then took the two of them back according to the same route.

Arthur flew very quickly on the way back, but it was much more stable than it was. At least they didn't have to hold its neck to prevent it from falling down. They arrived safely at Old Audrian's house not long after.

Alan saw from a distance that the barrier had been lifted and Old Auderian had raised the bonfire and was chopping firewood.

"Split up!" When Arthur landed, Allen happened to see Old Greg splitting a piece of wood evenly into three pieces with the burst spell.

"Oh, I thought a thief came in, and even Arthur was taken away. It turned out to be Mr. Patner and Mr. Conner." Old Auderian said seriously.

"Long time no see, Mr. Aldrian." The two walked towards him and greeted at the same time.

"I'm planning to report the case to the Security Department. It turns out that it was the two of you who did a good thing." Old Auderian continued to joke with them.

The two of them were already familiar with his jokes and looked at him with a smile.

"Actually, when I got home, I found that Arthur had not come out to greet me. When I came to the house, I found that it was not here either. I knew that it must be you two who came." Old Auderian said.

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

"Oh no, in terms of observation, I have probably regressed," said Old Greg to Allen, "or rather, your technology has improved... Yes, because I didn't realize at the first time that this barrier was set up by you, not the one I set up before I left. You must know that the barrier you set up before was always fragile and incomplete, and I can see it at a glance." Old Aldrian smiled with relief and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot that the bonfire has been rising for a long time. Should I have a grilled fish today?"

"It's amazing!" Riel had long wanted to attack this barrel of sprigfish. When he heard Old Auderian say this, he immediately started to take action. Although he wanted to pull the thorns and peel the fish, as long as it involves food, Riel was always enthusiastic and nothing was wrong.

During this period, their detailed processing process will not be described one by one.

After everything was cleaned up, the fish were already skewers by the bonfire, and the three of them sat down around the bonfire.

At this time, clouds began to gather, blocking the sunshine, and the woods immediately became much darker. Alan began to talk to old Greg about some trivial things that have happened these days and the upcoming graduation exam. Riel kept turning the four fish over again and again. When Alan was attracted by the scent of the grilled fish, the four sprigfish were already roasted until they were browned and waved to them.

There were only three people, why were there four? Because...Alan just took a bite, but found that Riel had finished eating the first one and began to chew the second one in big mouthfuls...

"The taste is really good! It tastes completely different from the fish soup, right, Allen?" Riel said while eating it: "There are no annoying fish bones, you can eat meat without any scruples. The surface is crispy and tender inside. Oh my God, I am so glad that I was stabbed by it back then, otherwise I would probably miss this kind of delicious food in the world!" After hearing this, Allen looked at each other with Old Aldrian, and probably only he could say so incisively.

However, when Riel mentioned this, Alan reminded me of something that he cared more about - the mysterious disappearing luminous object.

Shortly after that, because Riel was going to recuperate at home, Conner and his wife were worried about their safety and forbidden them to go out at will. Except for Riel's foot injury healed, their family went to Old Alderian's house to thank him, and they rarely went to his house.

Allen always wanted to ask Old Aldrian if he knew what the glowing thing was, but he never had a chance. After describing it to Mr. Conner, he was surprised at first and obviously knew something, but then he told Allen that they must have had hallucinations and then he did not mention it. Allen stopped asking questions about his doubts.

In the next few years, Allen and Riel were preparing to enter the local basic magic school. Finally, they were about to start learning magic and had a lot of languages ​​and characters to learn, which made him gradually forget about this. Until Allen was twelve years old, Riel entered the local basic magic school with him a year in advance.

Fresh magic knowledge continues to flow, and as they grow older, they cover up their childhood memories bit by bit. But since I carefully recalled six years ago a few days ago, what exactly was the mysterious luminous body? This question has been plaguing Allen. It is like a needle, constantly stimulating Allen's curiosity.

"That, Mr. Aldrian." Allen asked suddenly, "Is there anything that shines in what you know?"

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

"No, no, no, not like this," Allen interrupted him, "it was in the water, emitting that faint blue-purple light, flashing, uh... and suddenly disappearing."

When Old Auderian heard this, his expression suddenly began to become serious and asked, "What?"

"Uh... it's a square thing, and there seems to be a pattern on it." Alan noticed the change in old Aldrian's expression and continued to describe.

"When did you see it?" Old Auderian looked even more surprised, his tone was completely different from usual, and he quickly asked.

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

"Why do you remember this now?" Old Auderian said a little heavy and even said something reproachful.

"Uh...because I asked Mr. Conner before, he said that we must have hallucinations... It was not until a few days ago that I accidentally remembered this." Allen answered truthfully.
