Understand humans!

However, although he said he would not eat, Aura only took Sheila away, and left the other magicians of the association to the Lord of Vahlan, asking them to go to the banquet. He also asked them to pack a table of dishes for him after the banquet.

——Eating cannot solve problems, but it can fill your stomach.

A full stomach can solve all problems.

"Lord Aura, this time the situation is different from San Lorenzo..."

Sheila used acceleration magic to catch up with Aura. Sheila was actually hesitant about Aura's aggressive move to directly attack the Odysseus family's base.

But Aura had already taken action, and she could only follow and persuade him.

"When the Continental Magic Association was first established, this ancient magic family was promised the right to govern their own city-state. Officially, no matter how they train magicians, it is legal."

"We have no right to intervene. This is not just a question of right or wrong!"

"If we take action against the Odysseus family, no matter what the reason is, even if we are right, the other magic families will not recognize us."

"It may eventually cause a split within the Magic Association!"

Xila tried her best to persuade her, but Aura just looked up at her silently, so Xila naturally stopped talking.

“Sira…”

Aura spoke slowly, with a calm expression:

"Do I look like someone who would resort to violence to solve problems?"

"Don't you think...?" Silla hesitated.

"I, Aura, am certainly not that kind of person." Aura nodded as a matter of course.

Aura walked quickly, his eyes fixed on the tall mansion in the dense forests of the mountains outside the city of Vahlan, and whispered to comfort him:

"It's okay, Sheila."

"You have to believe in my endurance."

"No matter how irritating the ensuing conversation may be, I won't get angry."

Of course I won't be angry...

Of course Xila believed that Awula would not be angry!

Because Sheela knew that only those who couldn’t be killed by Lord Aura could make her angry!

Gan!

As Sheila recalled the many magicians in the city of Vahlan whose magic practice was restricted by spells and whose lives were even controlled by others, her bad premonition grew stronger.

What the Odysseus family had done had undoubtedly touched the bottom line of Aura, the Minister of Education.

-

The Odysseus family's base was built deep in the mountains.

It is very consistent with its identity as an ancient magical family.

Before the Continental Magic Association gained legitimate status for magicians in the unified empire, humans had always been resistant to magic.

Because magic originated from the demons, it is believed to be a trick used by creatures with polluted souls.

The ancient human magicians were also considered to be cursed, traitors to humanity, and the same as the demons.

It was not until Celie used some unknown means to convince the royal family of the Unified Empire and established the Continental Magic Association that the human magicians who had been hiding in the dark were able to come to the fore.

The same is true of the Odysseus family.

If there were no Continental Magic Association, they would not dare to build the family residence so close to the city, let alone build such a tall mansion to attract attention.

However, the situation where the Odysseus family had to hide changed after the magician received official recognition.

As the main force against the demons and noble magicians, members of the Odysseus family are respected no matter which class they are in in the city of Vahlan.

After being constantly praised as "noble magicians" and "blood gifted by God", even the Odysseus family believed that they possessed noble blood and were completely different from other untouchables who did not understand magic.

Even though the Continental Magic Association later announced the theory of "magic that everyone can learn", the Odysseus family's self-proclaimed noble ideas remained unchanged. The Odysseus family used the "magic that everyone can learn" theory, packaged it a bit, and added a little of their own things, and it suddenly became the Odysseus family's unique "magic that awakens the magical talents of civilians."

By using this truncated version of "magic that anyone can learn" and applying control magic on the neck of every magician who "awakens" their talent, the Odysseus family has gained a large number of low-level magicians who are loyal to them and will not resist.

With this batch of mass-produced magicians, the Odysseus family does not even need to participate in the war against the demons. They can make a huge contribution to mankind just by sending this group of civilian magicians to fight the demons.

Although these low-level magicians trained and controlled by the Odysseus family were not very powerful, their advantage was that they were extremely obedient and had no fear of death.

Thanks to the achievements accumulated at the cost of the lives of this group of low-level magicians, the Odysseus family has gained considerable reputation among human countries.

They even had the nerve to publicly reject the mainland Magic Association's branch from being stationed there.

The Odysseus family thought that the Continental Magic Association would not dare to take action against them.

The Continental Magic Association does not want to break the rules it has established with the magic families.

They can only be left to deal with the magicians in their own territories.

So the Odysseus family became even more unscrupulous.

This time, when people from the Continental Magic Association were heard to be sent to Vahlan for investigation and communication, even the Lord of Vahlan was very cautious about the matter and made full preparations to welcome them, but the Odysseus family remained indifferent.

There was no move to send a family representative to welcome them, nor was there any plan to invite the association's representative to interview the Odysseus family.

They arrogantly believed that as long as they ignored the people from the Magic Association like this and let them know that they had no intention of cooperating with the association to run a school, the people from the Magic Association would tactfully leave.

Don't ask for trouble.

But what the Odysseus family did not expect was that Aura, the representative from the Continental Magic Association, actually ignored the city lord's welcome and went straight to the Odysseus family's mansion on the first day of entering the city.

The person who came here is not kind!

Upon receiving the news, Chief Odysseus immediately prepared to meet Aura.

Speaking of preparation, Aula came to the Odysseus family on a whim, so how much time did they have to prepare? Fortunately, Chief Odysseus did not have the idea of ​​making too much preparation.

Chapter 158: Local conditions

The living room was roughly cleared and some drinks were served as a treat. Chief Odysseus would not keep Aura as a guest, so he would just send Aura back early.

He did not ask the young people from the surrounding tribes to avoid him, so that they could see the pride and courage of the Odysseus tribe.

Let the young people in the clan increase the clan's honor, and don't think about leaving the family to study magic in the mainland Magic Association all day long.

This is completely boosting others' morale and destroying one's own prestige.

What's so good about learning those new magics that have forgotten their origins? They are all crooked and cunning tricks - ordinary attack magic, ancient and elegant thunder magic and fire magic have been changed into something weird. Can such ugly magic be considered innovation?

——And there is that defensive magic, which consumes a huge amount of mana and is not even a bit better than the object control magic. However, those idiots in the Continental Magic Association regard this kind of magic as a treasure and make it a compulsory item for every magician.

——Not only these two, the group of magicians of low blood in the Continental Magic Association have also created other strange magics. In the eyes of the ancient magic families, they are simply nonsense and violate the ancient codes passed down by human ancestors for thousands of years.

These bastards have absolutely no respect for magic. They wantonly dismantle the magic structure of the ancients, comment on the magic of the ancients, and modify it without authorization. Their crime is simply unforgivable!

Chief Odysseus believed that the study of ancient magic should be prohibited by law, and the modification of magic theory should be prohibited. The theory developed by the sages was the correct one! How could anyone question it? Could he be smarter than the ancestors?

call--

He was so angry!

As for why Chief Odysseus's proposal to legislate to ban magical innovation was not implemented - the answer is simple, because he could not defeat the magicians of the Continental Magic Association.

But even though they cannot defeat them, they still have the theoretical superiority.

After all, it is the magic passed down by our ancestors, and it is not something that today's magicians can surpass just by thinking.

With this kind of arrogance and contempt for the unconventional Continental Magic Association, Chief Odysseus met with Aura, the Minister of Education of the Magic Association.

-

Aura came to the residence of the Odysseus family and was led to the living room by the servants. Aura sat down opposite the chief of the Odysseus family. Sheila followed closely behind, trying to find a seat to sit next to Aura.

But she found that there was no seat for her.

Aura's eyes narrowed slightly, while on Odysseus' side, except for the chief who was sitting, the other tribesmen were standing on the four sides of the room and there were no seats.

That should be the tradition of the Odysseus family.

Aura and Shila looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding. Shila stepped back and stood behind Aura.

After all, Aura is not a demon who bullies others by taking advantage of his power. As a demon, he is a great demon with absolute power. Aura is one of the very few who likes to talk with weak demons and sign contracts.

As for humans, Aura was also considerate and caring - those Dullahans who had signed a contract with her to obey magic couldn't even utter a word of complaint, right?

Therefore, since the Odysseus family is willing to talk peacefully with Aura, Aura is very happy to solve the problem of Vahlan's magic education in a non-violent way.

The reason why Aura is so good-tempered is, of course, because she is kind by nature and is a good demon who is unwilling to harm humans unless necessary.

It's not because Celia was watching her from a distance. If she wanted to kill, she had to wait until the opponent showed a flaw before she could take action.

This was well illustrated by Count Conrad of San Lorenzo. Count Conrad treated Aura with courtesy and feasted him. Aura helped Count Conrad, who toiled every day, break his spine so that he could rest in bed for a long time. He also blasted a big hole in his overly closed castle to ensure breathability.

With such reciprocity, wouldn’t both the host and the guests be happy?

Seeing that the Odysseus family seemed to want to negotiate, Aura got straight to the point and mentioned the purpose of his visit to Vahlan:

"Patriarch Odysseus, I have heard of you for a long time. I came to visit your house today to discuss the construction of a magic academy in Vahlan City jointly established by the Continental Magic Association and your house..."

"Why did the Magic Association send a little thing like you to negotiate? You think you are something, girl? You have less than one-third of my magic power. How did you become the Education Minister of the Magic Association? They sent you to negotiate. Doesn't the Magic Association take us seriously?!"

——Before Aura could finish her words, she was interrupted.

It was not Chief Odysseus who spoke the first word. He considered himself to be well-mannered and would not say such rude words.

The one who interrupted Aura was a young man standing behind Chief Odysseus. He had red hair and a mean face, and his magic power was not weaker than that of other Odysseus people of the same age.

Standing right behind Patriarch Odysseus was a young man who was obviously highly regarded by the Odysseus family.

The words fell——

Shira's expression changed, but Odysseus and his tribesmen remained calm and looked at Aula as if they were laughing at a joke.

Silla was really afraid that if they laughed out loud at this moment, they would be crushed into slag by the magic cannon the next moment.

Her face turned pale when she saw the fools' ignorant expressions. Fortunately, Chief Odysseus quickly spoke up to help them out.

"Who told you to speak!" He turned around angrily and cursed the red-haired young tribesman, then turned around and smiled apologetically:

"The child is ignorant, the child is ignorant, please forgive me, Master Aura, he is just joking."

Seeing that Aura looked calm and showed no signs of anger, as if he had let the matter go, Chief Odysseus continued:

"Hey, the joint school Aura just mentioned, in fact, the people from the mainland Magic Association have also talked to us before, but Aura doesn't know that Vahlan already has its own education system. Although it is different from the academy system of the mainland Magic Association, it can also train magic talents to send to the front line to resist the demons. Lord Aura, please don't worry about the magic education in Vahlan."

After Chief Odysseus finished speaking, Aura patiently replied:

"I had read the archives before coming to Vahlan, and I knew that you had your own education system, but there were some things that could not be seen from the archives. After I arrived in Vahlan, I found that the level of magicians here was somewhat disappointing...

Seeing that Aura didn't just swing the axe to chop people, Xila breathed a sigh of relief - Lord Aura seemed to have a much better temper after going through the Ministry of Education's funding shortage and the experience of raising money everywhere.

At least it was much more restrained than the bloodshed that started directly in San Lorenzo at the beginning.

Although there was a small incident this time, the negotiation should be completed smoothly.

"What the hell are you!" For the second time, Aura was interrupted. Aura looked up and his sight fell on the red-haired young man behind Chief Odysseus. The red-haired young man stared back at him fearlessly:

"How dare you judge the level of our Vahlan magicians? What the hell, you come to the Odysseus family to give orders!"

"Shut up! Do you know that elders are respected and children should not interrupt when adults are talking... Sorry, Minister Aura, children don't understand - what were we talking about just now?"

After Chief Odysseus scolded the red-haired young man behind him, he turned around.

"Oh, yes, I just said that the level of those civilian magicians is not high enough. If you ask me, Minister Aura should not treat those civilians as magicians, but as slaves. Yes, just treat them as slaves of magicians. In fact, Vahlan does not need so many magicians - those civilians, if you teach them how to use magic, they will be grateful.

Minister Aura can regard those people as magic storage tanks for us real magicians to use. They don't need too much magic.

Local situations have their own circumstances, so Minister Awula needs to understand this.”

Chapter 159 Do I look like a person without generosity?

Aura understood what Chief Odysseus meant. He did not regard those civilians as magicians at all, but as tools to store magic power and serve the few real magicians - this protected the interests of the few magicians.

If it was popularized in the past, it might be praised by most magicians.

But - the Continental Magic Association was not established for the benefit of magicians.
