Understand humans!

She welcomed the next guest with open arms, who was also a woman wearing a cloak and hood that covered her entire body, as most of the travelers did.

"Stay in a hotel and buy some food supplies."

"Okay, what's the name the guest registered for you?"

"Volame."

Volame, a first-level magician who travels along the borders of various countries and hunts demons, took off his hood to reveal his long orange braided hair.

“Who’s laughing up there?”

She first noticed the strange laughter coming from upstairs.

The proprietress replied that it was a traveler like Volame, who might have discovered a treasure or encountered something interesting and had been happy for a long time.

This made sense, Volame nodded. During her travels, she would occasionally meet people who had good fortunes like this, and these people would often treat others to drinks in taverns.

Volame also enjoyed free beer.

"It's just that this voice is so familiar..."

Volame tried to recall it carefully, but when she was about to remember it, the laughter from upstairs stopped and she lost her train of thought.

He just squinted his eyes and looked upwards, but he needed to use magic to penetrate the wooden wall and see the man directly - Volame didn't master such magic.

Even if you master it, you can't do this.

Forget it.

After asking for a room, Volame went upstairs and stayed next to the room where the familiar laughter came from.

After quickly putting down his luggage and eating and drinking, Volame arranged the magic items he carried with him for combat, and then went to sleep to rest.

She had come all the way from the northern border of the Unified Empire after receiving a notification from the Continental Magic Association that a number of powerful demons had appeared in the area.

I will visit the local nobles later and ask them to allocate guards to cooperate with me in searching for the demons. This is the privilege of a first-level magician.

"The demons can never be killed no matter what..."

"What should I do, Aura?"

"Where have you been... Why didn't I see you after I joined the Continental Magic Association?"

"Is my power still too weak? Should I follow your example and devote my energy to promoting human magic, Aura?"

Volame couldn't hide her tiredness in her sleep, and she instinctively clenched the wand beside her pillow. Years of fighting against demons made her always alert, and it was difficult to eliminate this vigilance even in a safe environment.

The more she fought, the more confused Volame became. Whenever she was confused, she would always think of the gentle figure who taught her magic when she was a child.

They met by chance twice and then separated twice. Until now, Volame hasn't seen her for ten years.

The most recent opportunity was that he heard that the president of the Continental Magic Association was called Aura, and Volame went to take the first-level magician exam, hoping to take the opportunity to meet her.

But after passing the exam, she discovered that the president was missing, and she had to hide this news with the new president of the Magic Association, Zanze.

Volame turned over in her sleep, holding the wand in both hands. She seemed to remember that she was once carried on someone's back. She reached out her hand and felt the hard object on that person's head. She relaxed her brows in relief.

"call--"

When he woke up, Volame was covered in sweat. He had a very comfortable sleep and dreamed of the memory of more than ten years ago when he was carried on his back to attend magic lectures while hungry, thirsty and sleepy.

She chuckled and opened the curtains to let in the sunlight.

In the brightly lit room, after Volame finished dressing, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was tall and mature, no longer a child who could lean on someone's back and take a nap.

She estimated that if Aura in her memory had not changed, she should be taller than her.

But how could it not change? That person should have wrinkles on his face.

"I wonder if you will recognize me when we meet again?"

Volame touched his slightly fleshy face, and couldn't help feeling empty when he thought that he had never seen Aura's true face.

At this moment, there was continuous laughter coming from outside the door, as if the laughter was being held back but could not be controlled by the tickling.

The familiar laughter aroused Volame's curiosity. She walked out of the room on the second floor of the hotel and looked towards the bar on the first floor.

There were not many people there, even the proprietress was gone. There was only a purple-haired girl leaning on the bar, laughing loudly. There were a lot of empty beer glasses next to her, she must have drunk a lot.

Although her face was flushed to the point of being unconscious, the purple-haired girl continued to pour beer into her mouth, and one third of the beer cup was empty in one gulp.

When Volame saw the girl's face, his eyes lit up, he took out his wand from the room, and walked down the stairs quietly.

Chapter 36: Angle? What angle?

Aula didn't know how he fell asleep last night.

Even though the order from Fulilian to "learn the human smile" had been in effect for a whole day, Aura's desire to laugh showed no sign of stopping.

Could it be that she hasn't learned it yet?

Isn't the smile of a human different from her expression at this moment?

What was missing, Aura didn't understand.

Even though Aura was tired and wanted to fall asleep, her body was still shaking uncontrollably. She wanted to laugh out loud and couldn't fall asleep at all.

It was not until the proprietress kindly gave her some wine and Aula got herself drunk that she finally fell into a deep sleep with difficulty.

Until the morning, she was awakened by her own laughter again.

Without Aura's knowledge, she began to laugh uncontrollably again, her breathing became difficult, and her face turned red.

This was no longer just a desire to laugh, but a curse. If Aula didn't find a solution, she would probably suffocate to death.

She remembered the glass of wine that helped her fall asleep last night, and stumbled all the way down. With difficulty, she inserted her request to buy wine amid the creepy laughter.

Although she didn't know why the other guests all ran out when she went downstairs, and the proprietress's face was pale when she handed her the wine.

But fortunately, after getting myself drunk in one breath, my uncontrollable laughter subsided, leaving me time to breathe.

Gasping for breath, and taking a sip of wine between breaths, Aula felt the pleasure surging in his heart.

Maybe it was because she was laughing all the time that her mood unconsciously improved, or maybe it was because of the alcohol that numbed Aura's nerves. In short, she was very happy now.

She was so happy that she didn't feel any fear when she saw Volame standing in front of her with a magic wand in her hand.

Aura calmly patted the chair next to him, motioning for Volame to sit down.

He also pushed a glass of wine to her.

"Would you like a drink?"

"……Can."

Although Volame frowned, he put down his wand, took the beer and sat down next to Aura.

She swept her hand over the beer glass and a magical light flashed, indicating that it was safe and non-toxic.

Then he took a sip.

Aura was lying on the table, limp as mud, looking like a drunkard, and he was still hugging Volame and reminiscing about the past:

"You are my old friend, Volame. The last time I saw you, you were still so small. I didn't expect that when we met again, you had already become a first-level magician."

"How do you know I'm level one... Never mind, this isn't important."

Volame warily slapped away Aura's hand that was around her shoulders, staring at Aura with burning eyes, and found that she had no hostility.

Strange, is this how our friendship should be?

Without saying a word, Volame took a sip of the beer in his hand, which tasted mellow.

She didn't plan to expose the truth now, but to follow the demon's actions to see what her intentions were.

But Volame sat upright and waited for a long time, and only heard Aura muttering the sentence just now, and then there was no movement.

She touched Aura's shoulder, then shook Aura's body, and finally kicked him hard, making sure that the drunken demon was completely drunk.

"I thought I could get her whereabouts from you! But you passed out drunk!"

Volame slammed the bar table hard and took a big gulp of beer. Seeing that Aura still didn't move, his mood became depressed.

She was not in a hurry to kill the demon because Volame was confident in her own strength, and she wanted to hear more from the demon.

Although he knew that his current thoughts were ridiculous, the demon in front of him was indeed known to Volame and might be the only clue to Aura's whereabouts.

Regardless of whether the purple-haired demon was listening or not, Volame continued to mutter while drinking:

"Since you know me, you should still remember the other human woman who protected me back then, right?"

"If you know the whereabouts of that person, can you tell me?"

"I also find it ridiculous. After all, I need to ask a demon like you about the whereabouts of a human."

"But think about it carefully. Every time I met her, you were there too. Could it be that you and she are enemies?"

"I have been looking for her for the past ten years. I went to the Ravi Mountains you told me about, but I found out I was deceived."

"But you seem to be very familiar with Aura. Could it be that you didn't lie to me, but I was late?"

"Later, I went to the Magic Association and heard that the president was also called Aura. I thought it was her, but I never saw her. Maybe it wasn't her at all."

"Tell me, could it be that Aura is already dead? I have been looking for someone who doesn't exist for the past ten years?"

"Even so, I still want to find her, even if it's just a trace of her ever existing."

The wine glass was almost empty. Volame stared blankly at the circle of transparent liquid at the bottom of the glass, his face slightly red. It was unclear whether it was because of the alcohol or because he was revealing his inner thoughts in front of an enemy.

She closed her eyes and murmured to herself shyly:

"Very stupid..."

“Haha…hahahaha…hahahahahahaha…”

After saying a lot of his inner thoughts, Volame, who was already feeling shy, turned around and found that the purple-haired demon was laughing.

Suddenly her face stopped being red and half of it turned blue.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"I actually believed that a demon could understand my feelings."

"I still have to chop off your horns."

Angle? What angle?

Aura was now somewhat sober and could hear Volame's questioning.

She reached out her hand and touched her head in confusion, and sure enough, she touched her exposed horns. The hat she used to cover them was gone.

No wonder those humans ran away without even asking for money when I bought wine before.

It turned out to be the case.

Aura was completely sober from his drunkenness and gave Volame an awkward smile.

Chapter 37: Sooner or later I will kill you with my own hands!

Boom! ! !

The magic of manipulating the air!

Compressed by magic power, the air blade almost became solid and slashed towards Aura.

Aula cast defensive magic, but there were too many air blades coming from all directions. The local defensive magic could not stop them, and the 360-degree defensive magic was too late.

flutter!!

Aura fell directly to the ground, and thanks to the excellent physical fitness of the demon clan, he rolled several times and rolled over from under the bar.

The air blade cut the wooden bar into pieces, and after it was completely cut open, there was no sign of Aura behind it.

Volame's magic power could not sense Aura's breath, but his vision was sharp and he immediately saw a hint of purple at the window in the back kitchen.

Aura tried to escape through the window, but Volame followed closely behind him and used acceleration magic on himself.

Pfft!

Half of the hotel was reduced to dust, and the purple-haired demon held up a round shield and rolled out like a ball.
