Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

"Because my unit is the only force protecting the nearby residents. If we all go out and fail to eliminate the Demon General, it will undoubtedly take advantage of this period of defense loss to wreak havoc and slaughter the village."

"I am just a soldier of the Empire, not a general of the Empire."

"I can't understand the tactics, and I don't know whether this offensive arrangement is reasonable."

"All I know is that when the army's attack horn sounds, I will take advantage of the offensive space created for me by my fellow soldiers who have sacrificed their lives, and cast the most destructive magic into the face of that [Demon General]."

"And now, I would like to ask you, Lady Celia, for a spell that can cause the greatest damage to the Demon General operating in the Caste Region, the northern border of the empire."

"If that's the case, our sacrifice might actually be enough to defeat that [Demon General]; if possible, perhaps I can shorten the engagement. Every second I save on the battle means fewer of my brothers will risk their lives to buy me the opportunity to attack."

Having said that, the burly soldier Saidat changed his kneeling position on one knee, and his other knee also touched the ground, kneeling completely towards Celia.

"Lady Celia, I dare not agree to become your disciple, because I am not sure that I can return alive from the crusade."

"Sir, I want to be your disciple because I love magic. I still remember the first magic I learned, a folk magic called [Warming Magic]. In the bitter cold at the border of the [Empire], I remember the happy and proud smiles on my parents' faces after I performed this magic on them."

"The empire's borders are freezing cold in winter, but [body-warming magic] is very warm."

"Lady Celia, I wish to slay that [Demon General] and use its demise to commemorate my hometown."

"If I succeed in doing this, I am willing to give up everything in the army and become your disciple."

"So, I would like to beg you to grant me this magic that will decide the outcome."

Hearing this, Celie sighed and walked down from the hall.

"The magic that decides victory?"

"I think you should know that the more powerful the magic, the longer it takes to learn. Even if I give you this magic, will you have enough time to learn it when you're going to conquer the Demon General next month?"

"I am not sure."

Sayidat, who was kneeling, replied, "But I know that if it is Lady Celia, there will be a way."

Sorry, it's late.

Chapter 27: Braiding Hair (Interlude)

finally.

Saidat still took away the magic he wanted.

By using the transfer magic, Celia transferred her memories and experience of this magic to Sayidat.

The imperial soldier did not pause for a moment, as he had stated.

Even though it was almost dusk, his figure still disappeared in the city of [Oissast], and he kept rushing towards the northernmost tip of the [Empire].

Outside the hall, Gut watched Saidat's figure walking away, and his junior brother Lyon stood behind Gut without him knowing when.

"Brother, I remember who that person is."

"Huh?" Gut looked back at Lyon with a puzzled look on his face.

"That man, Saidat."

"Duncan once mentioned him to me, saying he was a battle hero on the Imperial Border. However, he was just as ignorant of the ways of the world as I was. Even after dedicating his entire life there, he never received any promotion or recognition other than a medal."

"Really? He's so clueless about the ways of the world. But how could I not have noticed just now that his explanation and performance when he requested Teacher Celia were both excellent?"

After hearing this, Lyon was silent for a while, then said.

"Probably, it's sincerity."

"Saidat may not be worldly-wise, but he speaks his mind sincerely."

"Besides, Duncan's evaluation of a person is always very accurate. I believe him."

"Is that so?"

“Speak your mind sincerely.”

At the same time, inside the hall.

"come over."

Celiai in the main hall waved to Gu Mi, who was still sitting in the hall, and called the disciple over.

"teacher"

Gu Mi stood beside Celiai, with his head lowered and his breathing a little rapid.

"Come on, put your head here."

Celia put down her crossed legs, sat down on the chair, patted her legs, and motioned Gu Mi to come over.

"Ah."

With his head bowed, Gu Mi nodded, leaned down beside the seat, and sobbed softly with his face down on his master's legs.

Celia didn't say anything, but just gently brushed the disciple's hair on the seat and gently brushed away the few crumbs at the corner of her mouth.

Unlike Fulilian, who is still ignorant of human emotions, Celia, who has lived with and said goodbye to countless disciples throughout the long river of history, is able to empathize with humans.

After Sayidat finished speaking with such emotion, how could his disciple Gu Mi, who was also a survivor of the massacre of the demons in his hometown, not think of the past?

The warmth of being with family, the joy of playing with friends, how beautiful these memories are; but the sight of our hometown being destroyed, the tragic scene of our relatives and friends being slaughtered in front of us, how cold it is when we think of it.

Every warm memory in the past will add cold fuel to the fireworks of revenge.

Until the raging flames can devour the demons in memory, and the demons' lives and blood are used to pay tribute to the souls of the hometown, the survivors of the hometown like the disciple Gu Mi can truly unload the burden in their hearts.

Celiai was speechless, but continued to stroke her disciple Gu Mi's hair. Looking at her disciple's casually styled hair, Celiai couldn't help but smile, then took off her own hairband and tied it on her disciple Gu Mi's hair.

However, while braiding her hair, Celie's hands suddenly paused, but then she continued.

"Really? Whether he harbors hatred for the demons or is quietly accumulating magic power, how come even his hair looks so much like Volame's?"

"That's all."

Chapter 28 My teacher is so angry that his magic was given to someone else.

outside the hall.

After Sayyidat's figure had completely disappeared, a burst of sobbing that gradually grew louder was heard from the hall.

Lyon, who was behind Gut, was stunned and immediately wanted to push open the wooden door to go in and find out what was going on.

Gut turned around and when he saw Lyon's actions, he quickly reached out to stop him, but he was still a step too slow.

Fortunately, at the moment when Lyon was about to push open the wooden door, Seliya, who was tying her disciple Gu Mi's hair in the room, raised her hand.

With a flash of magical waves, the wooden door of the hall was sealed tightly, and no matter how hard Lyon outside the hall tried, he could not push it open.

Celia stroked Gu Mi's hair a few times, signaling to her disciples that no one who didn't understand the ways of the world would come up to disturb them, and that they could just continue crying.

And outside the main hall.

Seeing that Lyon was about to knock on the door and ask his master to open it from inside, Gut had no choice but to hold his forehead and used his free hand to pull his junior Lyon back.

"Tsk-"

Gut tapped Lyon's head with his knuckles. "I don't know if Sayyidat understands the ways of the world, but you are really something."

"Don't go up and knock on the door. Come with me to the city and buy some delicious food to bring back to my junior sister."

Lyon just doesn't understand the ways of the world, but his IQ is fine. After hearing what Gut said, he understood the general idea.

"So, Senior Brother, is it Junior Sister who is crying in the hall because Sayyidat's statement reminded her of the destruction of her homeland?"

"if not?"

Gut shrugged. "Could it be that Teacher Celia is the one crying?"

"My teacher, because his magic was given to someone else, he was so angry that he broke down and cried and made a fuss. So pitiful!"

"Brother, do you think this is possible?"

"It seems. There shouldn't be any."

Listening to his senior brother Gut's description, even Lyon, who was not familiar with the ways of the world, could not imagine this picture.

"That's incredible. Let's go buy some delicious food for Junior Sister."

After that, Gut took Lyon to visit the snack and dessert stalls in the city of Oissast. Under the cautious gazes of countless owners, they only bought a few of each item.

Finally, when Gutt arrived at the best restaurant in the city, Chef Lake, who was squatting at the door of the restaurant with a cigarette in his mouth, was stunned for a moment.

Before Gut could say anything, he stuck his head into the restaurant and shouted to the kitchen and the waiters, "Fire! Prepare the food!"

"And you, hurry up and buy some food before the market closes!!!"

Looking at the restaurant that suddenly became busy, Lyon looked at his senior brother in front of him in a daze.

"Tsk."

Gut let out a light click of his tongue, reached out to pull back the purchasing guy who was about to go out, and turned around to say to his junior brother behind him.

"See? That's called word of mouth."

After that, Gut returned to the restaurant with the waiter who was going to purchase goods, knocked on the door of the kitchen, and told Lake that he had ordered very few dishes this time, and they were all take-out orders, so there was no need to be so nervous.

"Haha, yeah. Really?"

Lake scratched his head a little embarrassedly, mainly because the combination of Gut and Gu Mi had cast a shadow on the restaurant owners and chefs in the city of Oissast.

In the boss’s mind, this pair is called the “Inventory Duo”.

Because no matter how much inventory is left in the restaurant that day, these two can basically clear it out for you, especially the man. Whenever you think he is almost full, he only needs to sit for a few minutes and he can recover to full health.

In the minds of chefs, this pair is nicknamed "Off-duty Messengers".

Because no matter when you see this man and woman enter the store, the store's closing time for the day is already fixed.

As long as these two big guys (Taotie) can eat their fill, especially when the male Taotie finishes his combat state, all the employees in the restaurant can go off work, because there will probably be nothing left to eat in the entire kitchen.

After a while,

When Chef Lake handed a stack of packed lunch boxes to Gut from the kitchen, he couldn't help but ask Gut a question.

"What's wrong with you lately? You have no appetite?"

There will be another update tomorrow afternoon. In addition, the name Saidat comes from the German word for "soldier" [Soldat]
