Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

"Liberating the warriors' souls is important, but cultivating more outstanding magicians for the future of mankind is equally important."

After understanding the subtext of Gut's words, the city lord, Count Gulanat, nodded quickly and replied.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Gutt."

"Whether Lady Celie agrees to attend or not, she, who developed the [Purification Magic], will always be a hero of our [County], someone we will always respect and remember."

"That's good."

Gut breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, please follow me. I will take you to the teacher's room."

"You don't have to bring them here again. I promised."

Following a voice without any emotion, a door in the corridor opened and Celie walked out of the room by herself.

"Not counting today, I will stay in the [County of Gulanat] for another five days."

"If I can find the time, I will cast a purification spell on the warrior's remains."

Celia's gaze moved among several people in turn, and finally lingered on Xinmeier for a while.

Hearing the teacher agree so readily, Gutton was surprised and looked at the teacher with some confusion.

Celia ignored the disciples' gazes at this moment, but waved to the four visitors and said.

"I have made my promise. Please go back."

Now that they had received the promise from the legendary magician Celie, the four people headed by the city lord naturally stopped bothering her too much.

After thanking Celia and Gut, they tactfully left.

After the few people left, Celie waved to her disciples and signaled Gut to follow her into the house.

"Ah."

Gut responded and followed the teacher into the house.

After Gut closed the door, a letter wrapped in magic floated in front of Gut.

"You're probably curious why I agreed so readily, right?"

"Just take a look at the letter that [Meteorite Bird] delivered at noon and you'll know."

Gut took out the folded piece of letter from the long letter, unfolded it and began to read.

The gist of the letter was that because the current king had died of illness in the [Royal Capital], the entire [Central Kingdoms] was in action due to the old king's funeral and the coronation of the new king.

As the Holy City closest to the Royal Capital and the core of religion on the entire continent, we must make time, space, and manpower to handle these two matters.

Many activities in the city have also been put on hold.

This includes the first magician assessment held by the [Continental Magic Association (Headquarters)].

Even according to conservative estimates, it will take at least half a month to complete these two events.

The management of the [Holy City] City Hall discussed the matter with the delegates left by Celia in the [Holy City] and postponed the start time of the [First Magician Examination] by three weeks.

The time that the master and the disciple had to rush to the Holy City - Xutralu suddenly became extremely ample.

At this point, Gut finally understood why the teacher's face looked a little ugly at noon, and why he agreed to those requests so readily.

Chapter 58 Demonic Ambush

The next morning.

The bright sunlight passed through the glass and shone on the elf's face.

Celia, standing in front of the window, kept her gaze fixed on the city gate bathed in sunlight.

There, a team led by the brave Xin Meier stepped out of the city gate amid the cheers of the people and went to the mountains to welcome the heroic spirits who had previously guarded them.

After leaning against the window and watching for a while, Celie finally turned and left the windowsill after confirming something. She looked at her disciple, Gut, who had been lingering in her room since early morning, asking for advice, and asked.

"Why don't you join the brave group in the operation?"

"They invited you to the farewell banquet last night, right? I can see that you are still a little moved."

"Yes."

Gu Te nodded and said affirmatively, "After all, he is the hero who defeated the Demon King. Who wouldn't be tempted by the opportunity to travel with him?"

"But I always feel that if I leave you and act alone, something terrible will happen."

"Although the brave uncle should be able to protect my safety."

"But they are a large group of people carrying out an important mission. I'd better not be a variable and cause trouble."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I want to be by your side, teacher."

"Reading a magic book comfortably beside you is obviously much more comfortable than following an old man across mountains and hills."

"Ah."

Celia snorted lightly and ignored the disciples' flattery. Instead, she pulled a chair and sat down next to Gut.

A pair of bare feet that didn't like being restrained by external objects were raised in front of Gut.

"hiss--"

Gut took a deep breath and his eyes, as if aiming automatically, shifted from the boring magic book to something beautiful.

However, Celia's next words made Gut's heart tremble, and even his eyes became clearer with fear.

"I wanted to remind you about this later."

"But since you already have this vague awareness, I might as well tell you."

"Gut, you've been targeted by the [Demons]."

"When we started our journey, [Miracle Graosam], one of the Seven Sages of the Demon Clan, followed us and attempted to attack."

No, it really exists?! !

Gut's pupils suddenly shrank, and cold sweat instantly wet his back.

Although I had thought of this possibility as early as the beginning of my time travel, as I had the golden finger of the system.

But the [Demons] would strangle themselves in the cradle before they even develop, and this was ultimately just Gut's guess.

This is two different concepts from what was confirmed by Teacher Seliya.

At this moment, Gut, who was covered in cold sweat, was extremely grateful to himself for not being dazzled by the combination of [different world + golden finger] at the beginning of the journey.

If I hadn't chosen to stay calm and develop, I would have been easily defeated by the Demonic Might.

Perhaps he still had some hope in his heart, so Gut asked Celia again.

"Teacher, you said the Seven Broken Sages Graosam were following us. Is it possible that their target wasn't me, but that you haven't taken action in so long, and they wanted to provoke you?"

Celie lowered her legs, looked back out the window, and answered seriously.

"I've had this thought before, thinking the Demons might have forgotten their fear of me."

"But I had already warned Graosam back then. If it was merely testing me on behalf of the Demon Clan, then its purpose had already been achieved. There was no need for it to risk being killed by me again."

"Come again?!"

Gut noticed the key point in the teacher's words, followed Celia's footsteps, walked to the window and looked out.

"Don't look for it. It ran away after confirming that you were not in the team led by the brave man."

Celie stretched out her hand, pointed to a location outside the city gate, and spoke.

"The [Demon]'s target isn't me, it's you, Gut."

"In order to eliminate you, one of the Seven Collapse Sages even resorted to the tactic of exchanging pieces to ambush you outside the city gate."

Recalling the faint magical reaction she had detected, Celie looked up and down at the disciple beside her and said with some emotion.

"What kind of future do you have that scares them so much?"

"Probably, it will be very strong."

"I was able to surpass the brave Xin Meier, surpass all your previous disciples, and finally, surpass you, my teacher."

"Really?" Celie's eyes flickered with a strange color. "I'm kind of looking forward to the day when you challenge me..."

"Don't worry, teacher. I will definitely surpass you."

"However, with the Demon Tribe's [Seven Collapse Sages] nearby, the brave uncle won't be affected."

"will not."

Celie replied affirmatively, "[Demons] are not like humans. They don't have the habit of helping each other."

"This is the territory of [Seven Collapse Sages - Aura]. All troubles and losses are [Aura's] business. [Graosam] will not interfere."

"Besides, even if it wanted to intervene, it doesn't have the ability to do so."

Celia said, glancing at her disciple. "You don't think I just noticed it and didn't do anything, do you?"

The wilderness of [County of Gulanat].

Graosam dragged his broken body and ran wildly until there was no more magical response behind him. Only then did he dare to stop, holding on to a tree, coughing up blood.

"I've suppressed my magic power to the utmost, yet I was still discovered."

"Also, what kind of magic is this attack that's completely imperceptible to magical fluctuations?"

Looking at the deep scar on his shoulder left by a mere scratch, Graosam frowned deeply.

"No, we have to find a way to separate the target from Celie. That way we have a chance to kill him."

"Since the master and disciple's destination is the Holy City."

"Looks like we need to find some more helpers to set up ambushes along the way."

at the same time.

[Central Kingdoms, Trading City of Barum]

"Thank you very much for your escort along the way, Miss Magician."

"If it weren't for you, not only would we have lost this truckload of goods, but we would have also perished at the hands of the monster."

Inside the city, a small vendor bowed to the elven magician in front of him and thanked him, and handed him a magic book.
