Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

"Forget it, come with me to buy supplies. There aren't many left on the list, and we should be able to buy everything before dark."

"it is good."

Gut responded with some regret, and followed the teacher silently.

"Are elves truly insensitive, or am I just being a bit too foolish?"

Gut, who was following behind, had a bitter expression on his face. He thought he had messed up, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the teacher's little trick.

Celia, who had been casually holding the bag of "antiques" in her hands, held them in her arms carefully with both hands after her disciple explained the reason.

Even the pace of moving forward became much lighter.

"What a great teacher."

The bitter expression faded away in an instant, and a smile appeared on Gut's face again.

"If you feel moved, just tell your disciples. Is that so difficult?"

Chapter 42 I will personally put my disciples' alienated ideals back on track

Just as Gut's mood was improving, suddenly, a familiar magical reaction approached him rapidly.

"This is... the magician that was detected by my detection."

Gut looked in the direction of the magic reaction and found that it had really come.

However, this magician was quite good at finding the time. If he had come a little earlier, he would have run into Gut who had just been "cold-bullyed" by Celie.

Then you may not even need to charge your punches to hit him; one uppercut can make him fly on the spot.

Now, Gut, who was in a better mood, was willing to listen to his reason. If his words were more polite, he would not let him take off.

Gut reached out and pulled the teacher, intending to wait there and deal with the magician's matter before continuing with the purchase.

Seria, who was stopped, was a little confused, but after sensing the source of magic power rushing towards Gut, she roughly understood the reason and simply stood beside the disciple and waited.

Since her disciple was in trouble, she, as a teacher, had to do something about it.

Although judging by the feedback from that magic source, it should not be a threat to his disciples at all.

The master and disciple stood there, ready to receive the attack. Even Gut rolled up the sleeve of one arm and flexed his fist.

However, when the source of magic power really passed through the crowd and appeared in front of the two of them, the movements of both master and disciple were a little sluggish.

Celia couldn't help but laugh, and Gut silently rolled up his sleeves.

Because the person who appeared in front of them was a little girl who was only eight or nine years old, and her height was not even as high as the staff of an ordinary magician.

After the little girl found this place, she closed her eyes and felt it silently. Finally, she successfully locked onto the source of magic power, which was the big brother standing next to her.

Gut looked at the little girl walking up with a complicated expression, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said to himself.

"Big Brother, our teacher said that magicians can't use magic detection in public like this."

"Otherwise, other magicians will see it as a provocation."

"Big brother, do you know?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him who had traveled thousands of miles across most of the market just to give him a kind reminder, Gut felt helpless. He could not help but stand still and accept the lesson of this "little teacher". He even spent money to buy a string of candies for the little girl at a stall nearby.

"Tsk, it shouldn't unfold like this."

Gut, who had been "punished" and "bleeding", thought that the source of the weak magic power would be a young man, but he never expected that he would be so "young".

Looking at the little girl still eating candy, Gut felt that he was at a disadvantage.

So, Gut went up and gave him a light elbow!

He put his hand on the little girl's head and rubbed it gently a few times.

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl nodded happily and did not resist Gut's touch. Instead, her eyes curved, making her even more adorable. Gut was so fascinated by her that he wanted to put her in his pocket and take her home.

"Little sister, are you coming to the market alone? It's very dangerous to go out without an adult. What if you meet a bad guy?"

“I didn’t come out alone.”

The little girl shook her head while holding the candy in her mouth. "I came out with my grandma. She should be here soon."

"I see."

On the side, teacher Celia said, looking in one direction among the crowd, "That source of magic power is your grandmother."

"Ok?"

Gut was stunned. He had just covered most of the market with his magic detection area, but there was still a source of magic that he had missed.

As if sensing her disciple's confusion, Celie spoke.

"It's normal that you didn't detect it. She hid her magic power, and she did it quite well."

"Right, Granny?"

Celie said as she looked at an old woman walking towards her in the crowd.

Gut was shocked. He didn't expect that she had gotten so close to him without him noticing at all.

When Gut saw the old woman's face, the shock in his heart reached its peak.

"Good young man, we meet again."

The old woman took the initiative to speak to Gut, and Gut's face became a little ugly.

He still remembered this old woman. It was the old beggar he had met on the street shortly after arriving in Oissast.

Last time, he was only able to sense her magic power at a very close distance, and guessed that her identity was most likely the [Magical Special Forces] or [Shadow Warrior] of the [Empire].

Now, after leaving Oissast with my teacher, we met again in this small border town.

Gut found it hard to believe that there was no trick to this.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an accidental encounter." Looking at Gut's expression changing, the old woman explained in a hoarse voice.

"Please rest assured, under normal circumstances, I will not bring my relatives with me on missions."

After saying these words, the old woman realized that her presence was not welcome. She patted her granddaughter, who was still holding a candy in her mouth, and asked her to say goodbye to Gut and the other man, then left with her granddaughter.

Looking at the two figures disappearing in the vast crowd, Gut looked at Celie beside him and asked.

"Teacher, do you think their appearance was really accidental, or was it premeditated?"

"It doesn't matter. There's no need to think about that."

Celie waved her hand and said, "The human Empire is not hostile to us. When I decided to show myself to the world, I already expected to be followed."

"teacher"

Gut was in a low mood and hesitated for a long time before speaking to Celiai.

"Tell me, if one day these human magicians of the Empire stood against you and declared war on you, what would you do?"

"Oh?"

Celia looked back at Gut with interest. "That's a good idea, an interesting hypothesis."

"If that day really comes, I think I will be happy to face that moment."

"To examine a piece of work she had written for thousands of years in this world on behalf of a disciple from thousands of years ago, this is a very rare thing, isn't it?"

Gut nodded in agreement.

"I think that my senior sister, who hopes that everyone can use magic, probably doesn't have [her teacher being besieged by human magicians who have inherited her wisdom] in her ideal."

"Volame?"

Gut's words made Celie silent for a moment, and the expression on her face was no longer as calm as before, but a little serious.

“Because I’ve witnessed history firsthand, some things don’t surprise me.”

"Because of the needs of the rulers and the length of time, some things will be infinitely alienated."

“First comes deeds, then comes actions, and finally comes ideals.”

"But Volame is gone, but I, her teacher, am still alive."

"If it's really as you said, Gut, that day will come."

"I will personally restore my disciples' alienated ideals back to the right track."

Chapter 43: Phantom Ghost in Alter Forest

[Xinshiji - 21 BC]

[Northern Kingdoms: Alter Forest]

"hu~hu~"

In the forest, a young man leaned against a tree, breathing heavily.

"Finally, I managed to escape."

The young man looked at the sharp sword in his hand that had been bitten and had a chill in his heart.

"To think there was such a dangerous bird monster in the Alte Forest. Luckily I blocked its beak with my sword, otherwise my chest would have been ripped open."

After regaining his composure, the young man Milo reviewed the battle. "If it had been my father or brother, would they have been so embarrassed?"

"No, if it were my brother, it should be the bird-shaped monster that ran away."

Recalling his brother's ferocious performance, Milo collapsed on the ground and sighed helplessly.

"A talent like that is simply monstrous. How can I, with my talent, catch up with him?"

"I really don't know what the old man at home is thinking every day. He insists that I train with my brother as my goal."

"but."

Milo glanced at the scroll in his arms and immediately felt confident.

"Mom, wait for me."

"Once I find this secret realm, my strength will no longer be inferior to my brother's, and you won't have to argue with father for me anymore."
