Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Magic vision, that's pretty amazing!" Magic Emperor Julius observed his surroundings. Magic vision gave him a different feeling, which was quite interesting.

"By the way, what level of modification can you achieve?"

“Simple magic can make a bigger difference, while complex magic can make a smaller difference. For example, the magic I'm using now reduces the presence of people, making them ignore those covered by the magic. After my modifications, it has now become an enhanced version, making people ignore it and causing pedestrians to unconsciously avoid it, saving me the trouble of dodging them…”

As for where the magic that reduced his presence came from, it was a magic that Fang Rui copied when he saw a thief while wandering around the capital.

As for the thief, he was knocked unconscious by Asta.

"Enhancement?" Julius nodded slightly, glancing around. Indeed, no one had paid any attention to them since the beginning. Their conversation was quite captivating, whether to ordinary people or magic knights.

“A very useful spell,” Julius said, noting that the spell could be used in many ways.

“You should have recently become a Magic Knight, but I don’t understand why you wanted to become a Magic Knight.”

Just as Fang Rui could use his magical vision to see how terrifying Julius's magical power was, Julius could also use his magical vision to see Fang Rui's magical power.

Like a vast ocean, its immeasurable expanse is boundless.

Someone with such magical power shouldn't be an ordinary magic knight.

So why did he join the Magic Knights?

“It’s simple, I want to collect magic, and becoming a magic knight will help me collect magic.”

Fang Rui explained part of the reason, and another part was that he found it interesting. He had tried other professions before, so was there a problem with trying out a magic knight?

Fang Rui believes there is no problem.

Moreover, becoming a magic knight is very interesting to him; it's a kind of role-playing fun.

"Collecting magic?" Julius repeated these words. Similar to his hobby, he enjoyed discovering new magic and always felt joy whenever he encountered new magic.

“Then let’s make a deal…” Julius looked at Fang Rui and said solemnly, “Don’t harm the Clover Kingdom or its inhabitants.”

"All residents?" Fang Rui asked rhetorically.

“No, they are just law-abiding residents,” Julius replied.

"No problem," Fang Rui readily agreed. "Do we need to sign a contract?"

"No need, I choose to believe you."

Contract magic is a rare type of magic, but Julius has seen countless spells before, and the royal family also possesses a vast collection of treasures, so finding a contract magic document wouldn't be difficult.

However, Fang Rui's strength is outrageous, and his magic is equally outrageous, making it difficult to guarantee the effectiveness of contract magic.

"Since you trust me so much, then I will respond to your expectations and tell you some news."

"Two demons lurk in the Clover Kingdom. One demon is friendly, and the other is malevolent. If you want to deal with the demon that is spying on the Clover Kingdom, you must unite with the other demon, otherwise things will get complicated..."

Although the strength displayed by a certain demon was rather ordinary... well, it can't be described as ordinary, considering that it was the power of a single demon against two magic emperors and a group of magic knights at the level of knight commanders.

It can be said to be quite formidable, not an easy opponent to deal with.

Even if the Magic Emperor's magic is a time-based bugged magic, there is no guarantee of victory, since the opponent's magic is also bugged.

Word magic, what is spoken is the truth.

Although it cannot be modified at will, it can be modified in most cases.

"A demon?" Julius was troubled by this. He hadn't found anything wrong with the Clover Kingdom, but Fang Rui had given him a surprise.

No, it's a bomb.

"By the way, there are some problems with the royal family, some of the royal family members, including the executors."

They are moving entirely in the direction of profit, with no regard for rules.

This is a behavior that Fang Rui hates. He likes to follow rules and prefers good endings, while hating bad ones.

"Royalty?" Julius was even more troubled.

The king is practically superfluous in the current Clover Kingdom. If he is wise, he will govern the kingdom together with the Magic Emperor; if he is foolish, he will be kept in the palace to prevent him from causing trouble.

But the royal family is different; they have a high presence in the kingdom and are very useful, mostly for positive reasons.

As for the special knightly order that guards the royal family, which is dedicated to protecting the king and handling certain affairs, these people are quite troublesome. They think entirely from the perspective of their own interests and the king's interests.

What happens if a demon appears in the kingdom?

Charging ahead?

Impossible... Julius knew their strength very well; they were unlikely to charge ahead. It was more possible they could reap the benefits afterward, such as eliminating another friendly demon as a credit...

but……

A demon, yet so friendly?!

Julius fell into deep thought. What kind of situation would make a demon so friendly?

Julius couldn't believe it. He, with his extensive reading, was quite knowledgeable about demons, at least in terms of the basic information.

For example, the chaos of demons is not that their personality is chaotic, but that they bring chaos and are highly aggressive, making coexistence impossible.

Friendly...

Julius could not imagine what the situation would be like.

You need to see it to make a judgment.

The task of finding the demon cannot be entrusted to anyone else; he must take charge of it personally, or he can purchase information from Fang Rui.

"What price would I have to pay if I wanted to buy intelligence from you?"

"Let me record some magic, or give me some blueprints for magical tools, or even better, actual objects."

“Okay, let’s arrange a time to make the deal.” Julius thought for a moment and then made his decision.

"The transaction will take place in a week. You'll need some time to prepare, and I'll also need some time to adjust to life as a magic knight."

“It’s easy to adapt to, and there’s no difference from normal life,” Julius said. “Apart from missions, we have free time.”

Fang Rui did not respond and led the two drunk men back to the black Bull.

Saul's alcohol tolerance is average, so it's normal for him to get drunk. Vanessa had already drunk a lot before leaving the house, so it's also normal for her to get drunk.

"Hmm..." Watching the three disappear through the portal, Julius muttered to himself, "There's one person who seems to be a member of the Azure Rose. Should I mention him?"

"Well, there's no need. After all, I sneaked out. Telling would expose me, and besides, the Black Bulls won't do anything."

Having said this, Julius left the place and went to wander around other places.

But from the moment he started wandering around, he began to consciously search for something—whether it was a demon, something unusual, or something else entirely…

To defeat the demons, it's natural to gather more fighting power. In Julius's view, the Magic Knights alone are not enough; he needs more fighting power, since the Clover Kingdom is vast and needs more forces to protect it.

It is convenient to deal with various possible emergencies.

He happened to know some people who were quite skilled magic users, but who hadn't joined the Knights Order. However, persuading them was a troublesome matter.

and……

Finding where the demon is hiding is the more important thing. This is something that only he and Fang Rui can do. Even the captain of the magic knights is a little short of the task.

He wasn't deliberately belittling them; he was simply stating the facts. After all, he had no idea how powerful the demons truly were, but he did have some understanding of the "Demon God's" power...

The royal family has a history of...

Chapter 580 Recruiting Employees

If we take the power of the "Demon God" as the standard, then the demons hiding in the shadows will be a very troublesome existence. If they are not stopped in time, they will destroy a town in an instant.

"This is so annoying..."

Having no clues at all was a very troublesome problem. Julius pondered for a while, then, instead of continuing to wander around the city, he returned to the castle and read history books in the library.

As for gathering intelligence, we can talk about it tomorrow. After all, his secretary is already resting, and there's no need to wake him up.

Although the situation is serious, it's not particularly urgent...

The reason why the urgency level was low can be seen from Fang Rui's attitude.

If the situation is urgent, the period during which the intelligence is valuable will be relatively short. Fang Rui would likely bring this up deliberately to prevent the intelligence from becoming obsolete.

The fact that Fang Rui didn't do that indicates he had ample time to prepare...

Since he had ample preparation time, he had more time to think and prepare...

Back at the Black Bulls' camp, Fang Rui gave some items to the other members and made sure Vanessa and Thor were settled. He then returned to the royal city, went to the church, and gently knocked on the door.

squeak~

As the door opened, light spilled out of the room, and a slightly tall woman came into Fang Rui's view.

"Hello, Sister, I'm looking for Gosh..."

Fang Rui is very polite. He is very polite to ordinary people and good people, but he treats bad people very badly.

"Wait a moment," the elderly nun said, then turned and left the doorway, walking deeper into the room...

"You come here..."

"What are you doing, old lady... thud!"

Although he didn't see any specific images, Fang Rui could already guess what was going on just by listening to the sounds.

Fang Rui had no intention of standing by and watching; his attention was focused on something else entirely.

Gosh and his sister have something unusual about them, perhaps some kind of "anchor point"?

The anchor point is connected to a line of sight that is invisible to ordinary people, as if it is dragging something.

'Is it the soul of an elf?'

When the demon cast the reincarnation spell, it was after the demon god had been defeated and all the elves had gone to another world. The conventional methods would not be able to keep them, so he did not use the conventional methods, but instead used "ropes" to bind the elves, preventing them from leaving.

"That's such a simple and direct method..."

After this brief reflection, Fang Rui stopped paying attention. He had no intention of changing anyone's plans for the time being, but he wanted to alter the fate of the elves.

Now that you're back, don't leave again. I'll give you a chance to live in the human world, and then you can work for me...

'Speaking of which, I have quite a lot of employees...'

Recalling his past actions, Fang Rui's thoughts drifted. He seemed to have forgotten how many employees he had actually hired. After all, if he found someone pleasing to the eye, he would ask if they were willing to work for him, and he would also specifically recruit some people to work for him.
