Understand humans!

After all, there are only two people who know Aura's identity as a demon. Celiaco will not care about Aura's living conditions. She will probably just cast a life-extending magic on her, and keeping Aura alive is the limit.

Only Zanze took a long vacation from the Continental Magic Association. He stayed at home these days and did not go anywhere. He wiped Aura's body and stewed food for Aura.

If it weren't for Zanze, Aura would probably have rotted and stank during the week when she was unable to move.

Although I don't quite understand.

But Aura felt that even among humans, there were very few who were willing to do this for their compatriots, let alone for a demon like himself.

Why is Zanze willing to indulge himself like this?

Aura didn't quite understand.

"Hey, Zanze, I can't move now, why are you still willing to be my slave?"

"I've already told you that I'm not your slave."

Zanze blew the hot porridge in the spoon in front of her mouth dry. If it were her old self, the moment she heard Aura call her a slave, she would probably pour the scalding hot porridge into the throat of this despicable demon, watching Aura's body writhing and struggling because of the heat, while she would laugh loudly at the side.

But Zanze is already in her thirties and is no longer the irritable girl who would be easily angered by Aura.

After blowing the porridge until it was no longer hot, Zanze put it into the mouth of Aula, who was bandaged and unable to move. She took it obediently with her mouth and licked it with her tongue, as greedy and alert as a cat.

Zanze couldn't help but smile. This demon would only behave himself if his hands and feet were paralyzed on the bed.

"But," Aura stared at Zanze for a long time, motionless, his purple eyes serious and clear, "Zanze, you take care of me every day and earn money for me to spend, aren't you my slave?"

"Humans are different from demons. Perhaps among demons, only slaves will take care of their masters unconditionally, but among humans, such close relationships are very common."

"Do you want to be my mother?"

"I can't give birth to a 500-year-old daughter."

So that's how it is. Aura's lively purple eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

If Zanze doesn't want to be her mother, then she can only be her daughter.

It's not impossible. Aura has no experience of being raised by a mother, but if Zanze wants to be her daughter, Aura doesn't mind giving it a try.

After all, demons will be curious about things they have never tried.

"Zanze, if you call me mother, I can give you milk." Aula opened the loose robe in front of her chest with trembling hands wrapped in bandages, and invited Zanze with expectant eyes.

Zanze's pupils shrank, and his emotions, which had been tempered by time to be as calm as water, were shaken.

"Fuck your mother! I have my own mother, and I don't need milk!"

Zanze gritted his teeth and covered Aula's open robe, which was revealing light, and warned her seriously against doing so again.

"Oh."

Aura lay back down again, obeying Zanze's actions and letting her help him adjust his clothes and tie them tightly to prevent his white hair from being exposed again.

Aura himself didn't care much about it. The demons did not have the sense of shame like humans, and even the way they dressed was imitated by humans.

She only knew from observing humans that human mothers would breastfeed their children. If Zanze wanted to drink, she could just let her suck a few sips. After all, Zanze's chest was so flat that she couldn't drink even if she wanted to.

I didn’t expect Zanze’s reaction to be so big.

"It seems that Zanze doesn't want me to be her mother either."

Why was Zanze willing to indulge herself all the time? The humans she had manipulated before all said that Aura's behavior was intolerable to humans.

Obviously, she didn't use obedience magic, and her charm shouldn't be that great, enough to make a human sincerely worship her - yes, Aura still has self-awareness.

In the twenty years of getting along with Zanze, she had long realized that Zanze did not take care of her because of the so-called sense of dependence, but for something... that Aura could not understand.

"Humans, it's really hard to understand~"

"It's time to turn off the lights. Go to bed early. I have to go to work tomorrow. Don't grumble, don't snore, don't sleepwalk. If you feel any pain in the middle of the night, call me immediately. Don't hold it in."

"Oh."

"Good night, Aura."

Although Aura didn't quite understand.

But if possible, you can live like this for the rest of your life.

Chapter 47 But Master Volame has no disciples

The peaceful days passed day by day.

There were no devilish elves who would order her to commit suicide, and no demon-killing magicians who would hunt her down. Aura actually thought that it was fine to just stay among humans.

There is no need to worry about life safety, or the fights with other demons. There is no need to be on edge all the time, improving magic power, or being afraid of being replaced by stronger new demons.

Although he lost his freedom, Aura also gained a sense of security.

Ah, except for a certain immortal blond elf who occasionally showed her a covetous look, which made Aura's hair stand on end and she felt like she was being soaked in a jar, everything else was fine.

Aura can devote himself to the study of magic. For the demons, besides killing humans, magic is the second meaning of life.

Although she still hasn't found a way to unilaterally remove the obedience magic, Aura has made rapid progress in other areas of magic. Perhaps when she returns to the demon clan in her prime, she can try to challenge Mahat of the Golden Land, the leader of the Seven Sages.

This is just an idea that Aura can only think about.

Trying to escape from Celia for the third time would be impossible, not to mention the strongest of the Seven Sages, Mahat. Even the omniscient Shuharat himself would not be able to do it.

All Aura wanted at this moment was to survive in Celie's hands.

The elf is already so old, maybe one day it will reach the end of its life and die, and then Aura will be free again.

Although no one has ever witnessed the end of an elf's lifespan, Aura feels that he is still young and it should not be a problem for him to outlive an old elf.

The peaceful life seems to have no end in sight, but there will always be accidents that break it.

"Have you heard? Have you heard? Signs of a large number of demons were found on the border of a small country in the south. I heard that a hidden elf land was found in that forest."

"The Land of Elves? Is it the legendary place where elves gather? Is there really such a thing? I thought the elves had long been extinct. I have lived for so many years and have never heard of elves appearing there."

"Isn't that Lady Celia?"

"Oh, that's right, Lady Celia is so close to humans that I almost forgot she is an elf."

The Land of Elves? Aura, who returned to the library with bread and meat, suddenly became alert. She had just finished shopping for lunch as ordered by Zanze and came to the library for duty, but she heard such explosive news.

Is there another elf land in this world besides the one in Fulilian?

The two dusty human magicians were still communicating outside the library. They must have just rushed back from the border of the empire and completed the return procedures of the magic book as agreed.

"I heard that the battle there was brutal. Several great demons showed up and brutally massacred the elves. The soldiers and magicians who witnessed the scene couldn't bear to watch the elves die."

"Ah - so the elves are not as strong as Lady Celia, but they were all killed by the demons. What a pity! You may not see an elf in hundreds of years."

"Not all of them died—eh… but it's the same as all of them died. I heard that only one white-haired elf is still alive. But the weird thing is that she actually used demon magic! Ridiculous, right? That's demon magic that has never been analyzed by outsiders! Many people say that she colluded with the demons and destroyed her own village."

"Magic from the demons? That's a real possibility. What a pity! The number of elves is small to begin with, and with the destruction of the Elfland, they are probably close to extinction. Have you found the elves that colluded with the demons?"

"Not yet. I heard that a great magician has already led a team to fight. The people accompanying him are all powerful warriors who can fight in close combat, attack from a distance, and track down. There should be no risk of failure."

Forehead?

Aura stood up from her seat at the front desk of the library, but after a while, she sat down again.

Hey, Volame must have received the news earlier than me, and she should have set out to stop those humans who were attacking Frillian.

After the last drunken fight, when she pinched Volame's neck and pushed him to the ground to tease him, Aura never met Volame again.

Volame had come to the Continental Magic Association several times, but Aura avoided her. I heard that when Volame and Celia met three years ago, Celia had already acknowledged Volame's title of Grand Magician.

A first-level magician at the age of twenty-four, and a great magician at the age of thirty, Volame is probably the youngest great magician in human history.

Moreover, his combat magic honed on the border battlefield was recognized by Celia, so Volame's strength is probably immeasurable.

I probably won't be able to beat her a second time.

"Do we really need to encircle and suppress that elf? That elf is the only known compatriot of Lady Celia. Wouldn't it be too offensive to attack her without Lady Celia's knowledge? Lady Celia, won't she do it herself?"

"You know that Lady Celia has never cared about such things. Whether it's the attack of the demons, the destruction of the human nation, or the disappearance of the elves, Lady Celia is indifferent. Maybe Lady Celia no longer considers herself an elf. She only considers herself a magician without a stance."

"Oh, is that so? I'm just worried that the Continental Magic Association might have objections..."

"Don't worry about that. Vice President Volame led the team personally. The great magician I just mentioned is her. Vice President Volame represents the will of the mainland magic association."

"Wait! Stop right there!"

The two Fengchen magicians were about to walk away when they were suddenly stopped by a voice behind them.

It turned out to be Aura, the director of the Magic Library. She caught up with him, holding a bunch of bread and other ingredients. It was obvious that she had just returned from the market and was preparing to go home.

"Lord Aura, is there anything you need to ask of us?"

The two magicians bowed, they were magicians of the older generation, different from the new generation outside the city of Kribi who didn't even know the existence of Aura in the Continental Magic Association. They obtained their registration certificates under the pressure of examiner Aura. No matter where they came from, they were full of respect for Aura, the former chief examiner.

"Volame, is she going to kill her own disciple for such a small matter? Although humans have never been able to learn the magic of the demons, this does not prove that the elf who learned the magic of the demons has defected to the demons."

"What are you talking about?" The two magicians looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

They asked Aura in confusion, "But, Master Volame has never accepted any disciples."

"what???"

Chapter 48: You're Not Dead, That's Great

Volame, during this time, didn't you accept Fulilian as your disciple?

Is it... because of my appearance, that history has changed?

Aura stood frozen in place, eyes wide.

But...if...if that's the case, then in this new history, wouldn't Fulilian be killed by Volame?

"The obedience magic takes effect. If Fulilian dies, I...will die too?"

Aura muttered in disbelief.

She had done everything she could to create a safe and secure destiny for herself, even at the cost of her freedom and dignity, but in the end...she was going to lose her life because of such negligence?

Is this the curse that comes from changing history?

Is it true that Aura can't escape death?

No way! No way! No way! No way!

Aura gritted her teeth and looked up outside the towering walls of Kribi City. Through the connection connected by magic, she seemed to see the white-haired elf, covered in wounds, fleeing in a panic.

"Flillian, you must not die!"

An invisible wave of wind spread out with Aura as the center. The two magicians who were watching suddenly felt an inexplicable fluctuation of magic power, but it was not a magic spell that they could understand at all. It was like... just like the magic of the demons.

Aura completely gave up the authority to obey magic.

In her sight, a red line extended rapidly from above her head, and in an instant it fell beyond the skyline, with no end in sight.

Aura knew that the other side of the red line was where Fulilian was.

"I have been suppressing the flow of magic power before, fearing that Fulilian would find out... But now it doesn't matter if Fulilian senses it. If she is still conscious, she will know that this is not the time to embarrass me."

With a plop, Aura, who was just in front of the two magicians, turned translucent. A gust of wind blew, and Aura disappeared from their sight.

All that was left was the scattered bread and meat.

"Lord Aura?" The two magicians looked into the distance in horror. They saw a purple figure flying quickly at a low altitude. In the blink of an eye, it was out of the city, and its speed was almost close to the speed of sound.

Integrate the magic of the wind——

Aura had seen Celia perform it once before, and with Aura's magical talent, it was not difficult to interpret. Although the magic that was integrated with the wind could not move accurately and was used in battle, it was extremely suitable for long-distance treks. It did not consume much magic power and could maintain high-speed continuous movement.

One.

two.

three……

Aura counted her breaths silently. After three breaths, she was out of Celia's perception range. This time, she was still not stopped.

"This is the third time, Celie, will you kill me?"

Aura did not think any more. At least she had to seize this chance to survive before Celie decided to kill her.
