Chapter 253 Harvesting Moonflowers! Neville: You damned lunatics, don't drag me into this!

Upon hearing this...

Ethans: "I never expected it would attract a water monster."

Neville nodded vigorously, his face pale: "Y-yes! How about we go back tonight and find the professor?"

Ethan: "—What a pleasant surprise!"

Nawi: ? ?

Ethan clapped his hands and exclaimed in delight:

"While picking flowers, you can also encounter rare and amazing animals!"

"This trip was definitely worth it!"

Neville:

亍叭.

He should have gotten used to Ethan's unconventional way of thinking by now.

Simultaneously.

Neville also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking:

Ethan's relaxed attitude means he must be confident in dealing with the water monster!

I will not be in danger.

Relieved, Neville quickly caught up with Ethan.

On the other side...

Ethan thought to himself:

A horse-shaped water monster that can drown people by carrying them on its back—I wonder what it would feel like to ride on it?

That will be very interesting.

Ethan and Luna exchanged a glance and both smiled expectantly.

He looked at Neville and saw that the latter also smiled.

He nodded knowingly.

I understand.

You want to play too, right?

Everything is understood without words.

Crossing through land strewn with branches and thick pine needles.

The three people and the dog tiptoed to the lakeside.

What comes into view is a beautiful and vast lake.

It stretches as far as the eye can see.

The moon's glow was reflected in the shimmering water.

It's like a silver road leading to another world.

And on the vast lake shore.

It was a field of white flowers covered in nitrogen and argon.

"Wow"

Luna sighed softly.

Blue eyes, like the surface of this lake, shimmer and sparkle.

"They weren't in full bloom when I last came... ...They're so beautiful."

"yes."

Ethan nodded.

Take a deep breath and inhale that delicate yet magical fragrance.

There were white flowers, each about the size of a fist, swaying gently in the night breeze.

It resembles an ocean made of pearl powder, surrounded by countless pale yellow fireflies.

It exudes a magical, mist-like purity.

It's like a fairyland hidden deep in the forest, incredibly beautiful.

In the present world, the evening primrose, which should have been extinct, has been cultivated by them!

By changing the past, the seeds are preserved.

Then it was handled by Neville Longbottom, a "gardener" with extraordinary talent.

finally.

Let them bloom again in the torrent of history!

Ethan was filled with emotion.

Turning his head to look at the uneasy Neville, he smiled and said:

"Would you like to surprise Professor Snape?"

"Let this mean-spirited black bat know that preparing the ingredients for potions is just as important!"

"E-Ethan...!"

Neville's eyes were filled with tears; he was deeply moved.

Ethan: "From now on! I'll make Professor Snape kneel down and lecture you!"

Neville: "Okay—huh???"

Neville's smile froze.

My heart was filled with emotion, which immediately turned into fear.

Neville reached out Erkang's hand, before he could shout, "Ethan, no!"

I heard it on the lake.

Suddenly, a loud "crash" rang out.

A massive shadow rose up.

What appeared before them was a monster with a long neck and covered in dark green seaweed-like fur!

Through the gaps in the seaweed, a pair of bright eyes peeked out.

He was glaring down at them angrily!

"roar--!!!"

He raised his head and roared.

The shockwave sent birds fluttering away from the forest floor!

"E-Ethan!!"

Neville screamed.

Sirius crouched low and let out a threatening growl.

Ethan: "That's a big guy. Looks like he thinks we're intruders."

but.

Compared to the dragon he dealt with in his first year.

You little water monster, you're still too green!

—To draw a circle around oneself and imprison oneself!

The voice rang out.

With a flick of his wrist, Ethan's wand transformed into a paintbrush, drawing a circle in mid-air.

Followed by.

Suddenly, a golden circular barrier rose up around the water monster!

Bind it firmly inside.

No matter how furiously it rammed into it, it could not be shaken!

Ethan: "Luna!"

"Um!"

Luna replied.

She raised her slender, fair hand, and the wand danced lightly in the air, releasing a surge of deep blue magic.

Like a pair of the gentlest hands, it shelters and protects those delicate flowers.

One gold and one blue.

Like the sun and the moon.

In the blink of an eye, they easily brought the ferocious and terrifying water monster under control!

To know.

Ethan and Luna are probably only the size of one of this behemoth's paws!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Neville exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Is this the power of magic...?"

at the same time.

Neville was completely relieved.

The biggest threat has been resolved.

All that's left is Ethan's reply: "Now, we can ride the water monster!"

Neville: "Picking flowers in the moonlight—ah??"

Ethan turned his head.

Under the cool moonlight, he flashed an incredibly sunny smile at Neville, who was glaring at him with disgust.

He grabbed his arm.

With his other hand, he was with Lunara.

He laughed and said, "Ready to depart!"

Neville cried out in terror, "Wait—"

Ethan: "The water monster is coming!"

In an instant.

With a whoosh, the water monster, drawn by the magic, crashed into the barrier.

Unable to move an inch.

Ethan and his companions, however, were propelled into the air by an incredibly powerful reaction force!

They flew swiftly towards the water monster!

It landed precisely on the sea monster's back, which was covered in "kelp"!

It was at this moment that...

The barrier that trapped the water monster has disappeared!

next second.

The water monster, accompanied by three "smugglers," angrily plunged into the water!

Neville: "Help, gurgle gurgle—"

As for Ethan and Luna...

He had already prepared and cast the head-bubbling spell.

Grabbing the monster's mane, we swam freely in the underwater world.

Admire the strangely shaped rocks and watch the small fish swimming in groups.

"That's really interesting."

Ethan muttered.

He smiled and met Luna's gaze.

Look at her golden hair flowing behind her, like silk.

Neville: "Gurgle gurgle—Puha! Help, help me—"

Luna smiled and gently brushed the stray hairs from Ethan's forehead.

His eyes flickered, and he said gently:

"Yes. It's more interesting than visiting villagers' homes at night."

Neville: "E-Ethan! Please!"

Ethan chuckled, a nostalgic look on his face: "Back then we were young, and the effects of aortic bleeding were still quite amateurish." Linawei: "Gurgle gurgle—"

Neville's eyes rolled back, and driven solely by his survival instincts, he clung tightly to the monster's sideburns.

It looks like it's already somewhat "dead".

This contrasts sharply with Ethan and Luna standing to the side.

The lake surface churned and surged as if boiling as the monster thrashed about.

Sirius sat on the ground, listening to the screams and laughter that echoed through the night sky.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, youth..."

Meeting Ethan is the greatest blessing of your life.

"Hey."

Ethan jumped off the exhausted sea monster's back, raised his hand, and caught Luna.

I stretched my muscles comfortably.

I feel like my whole body has been stretched out.

Ethan: "Indeed, sometimes a Gryffindor adventure can be quite fun."

Turn your head.

Then a "waterlogged sack" rolled limply off the monster's back.

Neville's eyes darted around, and he mumbled incoherently, "Grandma... this magazine really is my classmate's..."

Ethan nodded: "You're really energetic."

"roar.

The water monster growled and glared resentfully at Ethan.

It still had its eyes on the tiger, wanting to swallow this two-legged sheep that had trespassed into its territory whole.

However, this time...

Ethan glanced sideways and casually gave a warning look.

In an instant!

As if being stared at by some indescribable, terrifying beast, the water monster suddenly felt an immense pressure!

Let's slip by.

Like a mudfish, it darted into the lake!

Silence.

"Good girl."

Ethan smiled slightly.

He thought to himself:

Next, we'll collect moonflowers.

According to historical records.

Like unicorns, moonflowers can only be approached by those with pure hearts.

Ideally, she should be a pure and innocent young girl.

If a person with evil intentions approaches, the blooming evening primrose will quickly wither. "But what exactly is 'purity'? There's no standard... I think I fit the bill perfectly."

Just as Ethan rolled up his sleeves, ready to do it himself...

He turned his head and proved it.

Luna found herself in a field of pure white flowers, surrounded by fireflies.

Her blonde hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, and her blue eyes curved into crescents, brimming with pure joy.

In her hands, she held a blooming, delicate moonflower.

He chuckled lightly:

"Ethan, I got it!"
