Understand humans!

Chapter 30 The most fun friend

The sun rose and set, the stars and the moon moved, and it only took Celia half a month to bring it from the vicinity of the elves' land to Kribi.

But it took Aura a full six months to walk back.

Most of the time was spent finding the way.

Ten years is just a blink of an eye for the demons, but for humans, it is enough time for a half-tall child to grow up.

This is true for humans, and also for their cities and shipping routes.

In the past ten years, the buildings that used to serve as landmarks have changed a lot, and the convoy route that Awula used to take may have been abandoned and replaced by a new road.

It took Aura a lot of effort to find an old elf village that had been secluded for many years in the ancient and deep forest with no one living there.

During the past six months, she had been disguising herself and concealing her whereabouts in order to prevent Celia from publishing her facial image in magic associations across the continent and issuing arrest warrants around the world.

But it was beyond her expectations.

There was no movement from the Continental Magic Association, as if her disappearance was like a pebble entering a stream. Even the ripples it created were obscured by more ripples in the stream before anyone noticed them.

The new assessment system she developed was not abandoned, but was firmly promoted by Celia.

Although the cruel and strict assessment standards caused discussion and anxiety among a group of human magicians at the beginning, after practice, some magicians with outstanding talents really passed those perverted assessments and successfully became first-level magicians.

There was no more controversy.

It turns out that Volame is not the only human magician with extraordinary talent in this era - this makes Aura feel uneasy.

There is also the position of President of the Continental Magic Association. Regarding the sudden disappearance of the previous president, the Magic Association announced that "President Aura has been overworked for many years and is in poor health. He also wants to consider promoting younger generations, so he has handed over power."

The new president of the Magic Association is Zanze. He heard that a new first-level magician was appreciated by Celie and wanted to keep her as vice president, but was rejected.

That first-level magician joined the front line against the demons, but he would occasionally return to the headquarters of the Continental Magic Association, seemingly waiting for someone.

——None of this has anything to do with Aura.

Now she is just a traveler who wanders around with a white cloth wrapped around her head to cover her horns.

It took Aura half a year to walk back to the place where he was hit by Celia's magic explosion.

Using the giant pit as a base point, Aura searched the surroundings and finally found traces of activities in the elves' land. It took him another half a month.

And today, she, who had been waiting patiently, finally saw the elf she had been dreaming about -

Florian!

-

Under the layers of lush ancient trees with verdant green, the branches are intricate and maze-like. Even if a deer suddenly appears nearby, it will disappear into a place you can’t see the next moment.

Among the green grass leaves, a touch of purple is hidden in the dark and is not conspicuous.

Aula held a crown of grass on his head, held his breath, and peered at the white figure in the distance through the gaps in the wood, just like a jackal hiding its body and observing its prey before hunting.

After not seeing her for ten years, Fulilian is still the same as usual, with white hair and a cold expression, like a person with facial paralysis and mental problems.

Now she was pondering over the unknown herbs on the ground, and did not notice the purple-haired demon hiding behind her, like a jackal, tiger or leopard, with evil intentions.

Of course.

If we use Frelian's ability to hide her magic power a thousand years later as an analogy, Frelian can only suppress one-tenth of it now, while Aura's power is suppressed to zero because she obeys the forced effect of magic.

Even the top magicians would not be able to detect her trace before she appears.

"Well, there are no other elves here - she left the village alone." Aura looked around, closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing the traces of magic around him.

The color perceived by magic only belongs to the elf, Flillian, without any other colors.

"Frilian!" Aura showed up directly. One of the necessary conditions for the obedience magic was that the other party was aware of her presence. Otherwise, she could have hidden under the protection of the soldiers and secretly used the obedience magic on Frilian.

——Although, even if she used it secretly, her defeat would not change the outcome.

However, that would allow him to escape before Fulilian issued the order.

"Aura!" The elf on the opposite side stood up after hearing the familiar voice and looked in the direction where the voice came from. From a distance, her eyes lit up and a hint of surprise appeared on her cold face.

He waved and greeted Aura from a distance.

Haha, does this elf really think I’m her friend?

Today I’ll let you see how powerful I have been in these ten years of hard training!

"Fulilian, you should commit suicide."

Aura smiled evilly, stretched out her finger towards Fulilian, pointed in the air, and a dark light flashed at her fingertips and reached Fulilian's body in an instant.

Peng——

With an imperceptible sound, the dark stream of light was bounced away.

Uh, no response?

This shouldn't be the case. The magic beam that requires the obedient magic to re-determine the master and servant according to the magic power is an incomprehensible curse for humans and elves, and there is no way to resist it!

try again.

"Fulilian, commit suicide!"

The black light flashed between Aula's fingers again, and this time it was caught by Fulilian before it reached her. Fulilian seemed to be very curious about this little thing, and she poked it lightly. The black light that was struggling like a mouse was poked out of its air and dissipated into smoke.

“…I did teach Fulilian the basics of demon magic, but…but I didn’t teach her sage-level demon magic…how could she…this is impossible! How could she analyze the Seven Collapse Sage-level curse by herself!?”

Big drops of sweat rolled down Aura's cheeks.

At this point, she couldn't stop.

Fulilian was walking towards her step by step. The elf had heard the order she had just given and was completely betrayed. She didn't know how Fulilian would treat her.

If she were to be killed outright, that would be satisfying. But if she were not killed and instead kept alive, leaking the orders of the demon clan, then Aura would be doomed to death!

Aura's voice was miserable and choking. She tried one last time:

"Fulilian, you should commit suicide."

"?"

The elf on the other side just tilted his head.

Sure enough, it doesn’t work?

"sorry."

"."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! Flillian, please don't say that!"

"..."

"Magic, money, my horn, information about the demons, anything! I'll give you everything you want, please, Flillian, don't kill me! I'm willing to do anything!!"

"..." Fulilian walked closer and finally heard the words clearly.

Tilt your head in confusion:

"Why should I kill you?"

"What have you been talking about since the beginning?"

"I injured my ears while experimenting with explosion magic. You have to speak louder so that I can hear you clearly."

"I didn't say anything." Aula, who had been kneeling on the ground with his head buried, raised his head as if nothing had happened, patted the dirt off his body, and pretended nothing had happened.

"But I heard Aura's last words."

"What? "

"You said you'd do anything, right?"

"Actually, it's not [anything]..."

"Don't worry, Aura, I won't let you do anything worse than [killing you]. You are my most fun friend."

"Although I am a demon and don't know much about human culture, what you want to say is [best friend] instead of [most fun friend], right, Fulilian?"

"No~~~"

"..."

Chapter 31 I'm Really an Idiot

"..."

"Aura, don't run away this time!"

It was over. Aura was about to turn around and run when she was forced back. Her feet were like shackles. She couldn't even crawl away from Fulilian on her hands.

The hand will be frozen the moment it touches the ground, unable to move at all.

Aura could only stand there, like a puppet, waiting for Fulilian's decision.

Seeing Aura standing there in a daze, Fulilian looked up curiously, paced around Aura, and finally stopped behind Aura.

Standing on tiptoe, the white-haired elf raised his hand curiously and grasped Aura's horn, causing the sensitive demon to wail.

"Although I don't quite understand the reason, thank you, Aura, for always being willing to listen to me."

"You are my best friend and my only playmate."

"There are no elves my age in the village, and I have been missing you."

"This time, please follow me into the village."

"I'm going to introduce you to the others."

Aura breathed a sigh of relief. Fulilian still showed no ill will towards her, so what she said before was most likely really ignored by Fulilian. So at least at this moment, Aura's life was saved.

But then——

Holding Fulilian's hand, Aura walked towards the elf land. From a distance, Aura saw the buildings woven by vines and trees, and swallowed involuntarily.

It’s over. I’m going to be dissected by a bunch of evil elves.

If only all elves were as foolish as Frillian and had no hostility towards Aura, it would be great. Most likely, the elven magicians would attack her the moment they saw the double horns on Aura's head.

"Wait, wait, Flillian, I'm a demon... Are you really going to take me into your village?"

Aura couldn't resist Fulilian's orders, but she still had a mouth. Since her body couldn't resist, she tried to persuade with words.

At this time, Aura was not worried about her own safety. The magic in the elf land allowed her to sense the magic column escaping from a long distance. There was a pillar of magic power, but its strength was limited.

Maybe she could pose a threat to ordinary demons, but she was a great demon, not something that ordinary magicians could deal with. Even though she couldn't hurt the elves due to Fulilian's orders, she wanted to run away - would Fulilian stop her? Without Fulilian's orders, could those elf magicians still hurt her?

Aura was worried about Fulilian.

She could escape, but where could Fulilian escape to?

This is where Fulilian was born and raised. It is her home. She cannot leave here. But if she is found to be colluding with the demons, how will the elves in the Elven Land treat her? Will they expel Fulilian from the Elven Land, or something worse...

Ah, don't get me wrong, let me make it clear first, she, Aura, is not worried about Fulilian, she is just afraid that Fulilian will lose the ties of the Elf Land and will transform into the cold-blooded and brutal elf who kills demons everywhere in the future.

She was worrying entirely for her own benefit.

Fulilian turned her head and was puzzled by what Aura had just said:

"Aura is a demon...what does it matter?"

"The demons don't have a very good reputation."

"Then let everyone know that Aura is a good demon."

"Flillian you——"

"how?"

"How silly."

"I'm very smart."

"can not tell."

"I have learned all the magic that Aura taught me."

"..."
