Understand humans!

"Chapter of Truth——"

"I'll go through the procedures for borrowing books."

"Use my voucher. My credit is full of stars. I can return it later."

The two of them hurried to the front desk to register for borrowing the magic book.

Chapter 45: He had already been killed in the imperial capital.

However, unlike the previous automatic borrowing by magic, today it is actually done manually.

The two young men looked up and saw that this was the legendary purple-haired fairy from the book, Lord Aura.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Aura!" the two shouted in unison.

"Don't call me that. I'm not your teacher."

Aura responded with annoyance and glanced at the book they borrowed, which was the poisonous book he had written.

There was a flash of joy in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and helped the two human apprentice magicians to complete the book borrowing procedures as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the two of them chattering and leaving with excitement on their faces, Aula supported her head with both hands, watching this heartwarming scene with comfort and joy.

"Hey, I have brought misery to two human teenagers again."

Aura grinned.

He stretched lazily with pleasure.

Aura, ah Aura, the demon clan’s mission has not yet been accomplished, you still need to keep working hard!

-

At night, the stars sigh.

The magical lights in the library also quietly went out.

Aula locked the door, finished a day's work, looked at the sky, covered his stomach, and decided to reward himself.

She changed her clothes, and the luxurious hat and long wrap dress were really not suitable for visiting the night market.

Aula changed into casual clothes, a loose Greek-style skirt like Celia's, and then took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the horns of her head several times, making sure that no cuticle was exposed before she was satisfied to go out.

Demons can feel hungry, but their sense of taste is not as sensitive as humans', and their desire for food is not as strong as humans'.

Their favorite food is human flesh, but this is not because human flesh tastes good, but because the demons enjoy watching humans struggle in pain when being bitten.

The demons eat humans mostly out of spiritual desire rather than physical enjoyment.

And Aura - she naturally wanted to eat people too.

Ever since Fulilian gave her the order "not to harm humans", she has never enjoyed the pleasure of eating humans again.

The most recent time was when he bit Volame's stomach, but that time he actually did it to save someone, which was an extremely bad dining experience for the demon.

As for now, eating people in Celia's territory?

Sorry, Aura still wants to live. Even if Celia doesn't care about the death of one or two humans, Zanze does. If this human woman finds out that Aura eats humans, she will eat Aura alive.

——This is not an exaggeration.

There were several times when Zanze started to bite Aura's horn when he was furious. Zanze commented on the soft and fragrant taste and said that he wanted to cut off Aura's horn and fry it like a steak.

In order to avoid being eaten by humans, Aura sticks to her nature and never causes trouble for the Continental Magic Association or Zanze.

"All of tonight's barbecue will be charged to the Continental Magic Association's account!"

"It's not possible for guests. You need to make an appointment to enter the Continental Magic Association. We are not magicians, so we can't get the account."

"Then put it on Zanze's account!"

With his mouth full of oil, Aura stood up from a crowded stall in the human night market, with stacks of grilled meat plates in front of him.

Originally, Kribi was just a big city, but its economy was not prosperous. However, because the Continental Magic Association chose this place as the headquarters, it attracted a large influx of magicians, and along with it came businessmen who smelled the opportunity.

The influx of a large population and capital has led to rapid development in Kribi in recent years. Even the night market, which was deserted before, has become brightly lit.

This street is full of various snacks and meals. Aula often comes here and loves this barbecue restaurant the most. Of course, Aula has never paid for the food after eating.

"I don't think I can meet Guild President Zan Ze! If you rashly try to stop her on the street, you'll be taken away by the guards as an assassin!"

Huh? In the past, I could leave by simply reporting the name of the Continental Magic Association or Zanze, so why can't I leave this time?

Aura was puzzled, but if she really had to pay...she...she didn't have any money on her!

Aura shouted, "Celiai! Go find Celia, she will pay for me!"

"No, you can't leave!"

The one who stopped Aula was a young man he didn't know. He was young and full of vigor, at the age when he was not afraid of power and would insist on seeking justice.

When he heard Aula calling out famous names one by one, but his pocket was empty without a single coin, he knew that this man must be here to get free food and drinks.

If you really knew those big shots, you wouldn't be so embarrassed that you can't even take out a copper coin.

“Huff, huff, huff—” The eyes of the people around her were focused on her. Aura’s face flushed, but this time it was not because of anger, but shyness.

Wait? When did I feel shame?

Aura covered his face, feeling the heat on his face and feeling confused.

"Silly boy, what are you doing! Why are you stopping the guests? - Lord Aura, please go away."

A middle-aged man with strong arms came over and rescued Aula.

Aura was shocked by the change in his mood, and he didn't bother to argue anymore. He turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"But, Boss, we can't really go to the Mainland Magic Association headquarters to collect the debt, right?" The young man was still confused.

The purple-haired kid looked small, but she ate more than several grown men, and her belly was not bloated after eating. Even if the boss was kind enough to give her a meal, it looked like she was not coming just this time. What if she came every day and didn't pay?

"Are you new here?"

"kindness."

The burly middle-aged man turned his head and stared at the young guy, asked in surprise, and after getting a positive answer, he sighed.

The middle-aged man patted the young man on the shoulder, but instead of scolding him, he slowly explained the reason why he did this:

"You just came to Kribi, so you don't know that in addition to the big figures in the open, the Continental Magic Association also has a great magician who retreats behind the scenes. He is the one just now, named Aura."

"Lady Aura is honest and dedicated to her work. She spent all her salary on adding new books to the library. She bought rare and rare magic books from distant countries, but she didn't take a cent and placed them in the library for all apprentice magicians to borrow and study. Lady Aura is so selfless that she can't even afford to rent a house with the money she left for herself. She usually stays at President Zanze's house."

"Ms. Aura doesn't have any bad habits. She just wants a piece of meat from us. Tell me, can I still charge her money?"

“You can’t eat for free!!” The young man was still stubborn and insisted on his point.

"Hey - this is my shop, I have the final say on whether to charge or not! My daughter is a third-level magician. If Master Aura hadn't come to my shop to explain magic theory to my daughter, she wouldn't even be able to get the apprenticeship level! I charge money for selling meat, but hiring a magic teacher for private lessons doesn't cost money!"

"You kid," the uncle stretched out his hand and pressed the boy's head, forcing him to hold his head and beg for mercy, "Do you understand how to return a favor? If Lord Aura was as fussy as you are, would anyone be able to learn human magic?"

"They have long been killed by the demons in the imperial capital."

Chapter 46 If I Can

Before Aura could figure out the reason for her strange emotions, Celie called her to her palace.

The palace is usually the place where people are summoned only when something major happens involving human magic.

Usually, all the development meetings of the Continental Magic Association are held here, and there are at least twenty first-level magicians present.

But this time, when Aura stepped into the temple palace, he found that only himself and Zanze were there.

Celia lay on her side on the main seat in the palace, looking down with a grim look.

There was a thud.

Aura suddenly felt uneasy.

"Recently, there have been rumors about the so-called [Chapter of Truth] in the library. I went to investigate personally and found this." Celia pointed casually, and an unnamed black-wrapped book floated over, suspended in mid-air and automatically turning pages.

"The magic theory in it is complete and self-contained. If an apprentice magician who has just entered the magic field reads it, it will be influenced for the rest of his life."

Celia's eyes swept across the two people below, and her focus stayed on Aura for a long time.

Aura showed no change of expression and took it calmly. When Celia looked away, she was already sweating all over her back.

Compared with the last time when he smeared magic theory, his actions this time were on a completely different level.

Smearing magic theory can only delay the progress of a certain magic research project, but inserting private work into basic magic textbooks is a major event that poisons the entire human magic system and is enough to shake the foundation of human magic.

If Celie found out that I had done it, even cutting off my head wouldn't be enough of an apology. I would have to imprison my soul and torture it forever to feel better.

However, there are only two suspects now. If I don’t confess, won’t Zanze be left to die?

Aula clenched his teeth, good thoughts and evil thoughts struggling in his heart.

Perhaps influenced by Frelian's spell of "understanding humans", Aura can already roughly understand human emotions. Zanze who takes care of her a lot on weekdays... gentle Zanze... Zanze who cares about her as if she were a family member... If she is ungrateful and takes the initiative to admit the guilt, can she still ask Zanze to die?

“Who on earth did this?”

"It was all Zanze's fault. She was in charge of book purchasing. It had nothing to do with me, Aura."

Yes, Zanze, all I can ask is for you to die.

Aura pointed at Zanze expressionlessly.

As for the kindness of human beings, I'm sorry, but Aura never understood what that was from the beginning...

If you want to influence a demon with kindness, you'd better wait another hundred years.

“Huh?” Zanze turned his head and looked at Aula in horror. The look in his eyes clearly meant - how come I did this again?

Boom, boom—the palace gate closed, and Aura walked out alive from Celia's life and death trial.

Of course, standing next to Aura was Zanze, who was intact and was announced to have made great contributions and was re-elected as the president of the Continental Magic Association.

The two stood at the door in silence for a long time, each with their own thoughts.

After a long time, Zan Ze suddenly spoke:

"Aura, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Aura was shocked. She blamed all the bad things she had done on Zanze. If it weren't for Zanze's human identity, he would have been executed long ago.

Just like that, this stupid woman still wants to thank her, Aura?

"You... forget it." Zanze hesitated to speak, but she considered the difference in the way demons and humans think. It might take her a lifetime to make Aura understand humans.

“Though you may not understand.”

"But I thank you on behalf of mankind, Aura."

"...Psycho." Aura cursed and disappeared in a flash.

-

I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand——

Zanzeh always says that.

Aura didn't understand why Zanze said he couldn't understand humans.

Aura clearly felt that she had been with humans for some time and had lived with Zanze for about twenty years. Why did she say that she could not understand humans?

Could it be that humans, a short-lived and stupid species, are something very complicated?

Give her Aura twenty years to observe a sample of Zanze. Can't she understand the logic of this human's actions?

Well, the truth is still unclear.

Aura was lying on the bed, her head and arms were bandaged, her legs were limp and she couldn't move. She had conducted a physical magic experiment on herself. The idea was right and the effect was very good, but she used too much magic power. If she wasn't a demon with a strong physique, she would have been twisted to death.

Even if he survived, Aura would need to stay in bed for a week to recover.

During this week, she couldn't move and needed someone to take care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Of course, the only one willing to take care of Aura in this way is Zanze.
