Understand humans!

After communicating with those humans among this group who had cognitive abilities and could communicate in normal language, Aura learned the origins of this group of people.

I don’t know which remote religious country was defeated in the war and a large number of people were captured as slaves. They were robbed by bandits in this mountain village while being transported on the trade route and have never left since then.

Aula asked which country it was, and the man answered with a name that Aula had no impression of.

It's really remote.

After all…even creatures like the demons don’t know.

Aura touched the horns on his head, never expecting that one day the characteristics of the demons would be regarded as the representation of the goddess.

Surrounded by this group of human slaves and brought back to the mountain stronghold, most of the original bandits were lured by Shasi to the cave and eaten by Aura.

The remaining slaves who could not suppress the rebellion were beheaded and hung on long poles to be blown by the wind, rained on, and exposed to the sun. According to this group of believers, this is an evil ritual that allows the goddess who created the world to punish these sinners and personally judge the souls of sinners.

At first, Aula thought it was a way of processing food, like smoking meat or something. Later, the meat on the poles rotted and was pecked away by birds. Aula felt sorry for it.

In short, because of Aura's help, these slaves were no longer slaves, they became the masters of the village.

We want to turn this place into a new place of faith.

First, they reveled for a few days using the supplies left behind by the bandits in the mountain village, and then assigned new residences and responsibilities to each human.

Among this group of believers there was a management talent who had previously served as a bishop. After assigning tasks one by one, the village taken over by the former slaves came back to life. Every day there was smoke from cooking, prayers, and hunting teams going out. There was even a piece of land burned outside the village, and the slaves began to do what the slave owners had never done before - reclaiming wasteland.

This group of humans who believe in the goddess make a living by farming rather than plundering.

As for Aura, to be honest, apart from being surrounded at the highest point at the beginning and being shouted at as the apostle of God, rescuing believers from the hands of sinners, and being the goddess supervising the world, Aura did nothing.

There is no need for Aura to do anything.

Aura couldn't do anything either.

She became the messenger of God in the eyes of this village and this group of believers, and actually a mascot.

Every day, female believers would bathe and change her clothes. They found a huge wooden barrel and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants from somewhere, and boiled water for Aula to wash her body. There were so many people surrounding her, and no one knew where Aula's original clothes had been taken to. I wonder if the tattered purple tight skirt was burned because it was stained with blood and could not be washed clean.

Aula doesn't like being served by a group of people, especially when braiding her hair. She doesn't like having her hair touched by so many people at the same time.

But Aura likes taking baths very much. The bodies of demons are similar to those of humans in many ways. For example, they can enjoy the same taste of food and have similar sensitive points on the body. Things that make humans feel comfortable can also be felt by demons.

After a big meal today, Aula took a dip in the pool.

To be honest, this kind of life is pretty good. It reminds Aura of when he lived in Zanze's house. There were always people serving him, and he didn't have to think about anything, just lie down and enjoy himself.

I just can't hear someone scolding themselves for being lazy.

Aura didn't miss it at all.

"Sassi, come here."

"Hmm? Lord Aura?"

"Please help me button up the scarred area on my back."

Aura tried to reach out for the healed spear wound on his back, but his hands and feet were too weak to reach it. The power of the holy sword faded a little, and Aura was able to walk on his own, but his body was still weak and often powerless.

Shasi also soaked in the same pool with Aura. Because she was the first person to come into contact with Aura, she had a special status in this village. Although she was young, she was respected by others.

After all, she was the one who lured most of the bandits into the Awula Cave at the risk of her life.

Shaxi was dirty before, so Aura didn't notice it. After cleaning her, she found out that Shaxi's gray hair was actually light pink, she had thick eyebrows, and a round face. After meeting Aura, she ate much better. After all the slave owners died, she ate even better. Shaxi gained some weight and finally was no longer skinny.

Sasi's small body swam in the water for a long time before she groped her way to Aula's side with difficulty. She put her small hands on Aula's exposed snow-white back and caressed each wound one by one.

Most of the wounds had healed, leaving only small scars that would slowly disappear over time given the physical constitution of the demons. The largest remaining wound was caused by Volame's magic-condensed forbidden magic spear, and it would take longer to recover because of the residual magic power.

Sasi stroked it gently, and after soaking it with water, she peeled off the blood scabs layer by layer, until finally, a thin scar remained on the skin.

"Lord Aura has been seriously injured..."

Sasi's gaze fell on the white towel that Aura was hiding herself in, and on her exposed thigh. There was a circular wound on her left leg. Although the bones and flesh had healed, a blood-red pattern similar to a leg ring was left on the skin.

Sashi reached out and touched Aura's thigh, intending to rub the scar, but Aura sensitively retracted her leg.

"I have made some mistakes and paid some price."

"Can the goddess messenger also do wrong things?"

"Haha, it's just the two of us, so stop pretending. Sasi, you actually don't believe my nonsense about the goddess heaven, right?"

"Why do you say that, Lord Aura? Shashi has always been your most devout believer."

"I didn't stay here for some godly believer. I stayed here because of the promise you made to me."

"You mean, as a friend?"

"kindness."

"Thank you for remembering."

"Hey, Sassy, ​​can you please stop letting so many people touch me? I don't like it."

"Sure... But, I alone can't move Lord Aura who is sleeping late."

"You'll grow up, right?"

"It may take another two or three years before I can hold Aura-sama."

"It's only two or three years, a very short time."

Compared to the time Aura had experienced before and the time she would experience in the future, two or three years was really insignificant. For the demons, they could get through it in a trance.

"Lord Aura, I am the only one who will serve you~"

"I just got more familiar with you."

"Thank you, Master Aura," Shashi squinted her eyes and smiled happily, "I like Master Aura too."

"I don't like you!"

Aura needs someone to serve her in order to live a normal life. This is of course because the suppression of the holy sword makes Aura's body occasionally out of control.

——It’s not because Aura was away from the rules and regulations of the Continental Magic Association that he became lazy.

At the same time, the reason why Aura stayed in this mountain stronghold abandoned by bandits instead of fleeing immediately was also for the holy sword.

Lord Demon, just watch!

Aura's eyes showed a determined look.

Since you were killed by the holy sword in your previous life, I, Aura, will definitely protect this place this time and will never let any human find the holy sword again.

Aura's loyalty to the demons has never changed. Even when she was restricted by Fulilian's "Understanding Humanity" order, she never did anything to betray the demons.

Instead, they tried every possible means to weaken the war potential of human magicians.

These are all preparations made in advance for the future war between demons and humans.

And since fate had brought her, Aura, here and made her the first one among both humans and demons to discover the trace of the holy sword, it must have been a sign from fate to give her, Aura, to eliminate this great threat for the demons.

The unknown existence gave Aura this opportunity in order to change the future of humans and demons, and prevent the history of the brave using the holy sword to defeat the demon king from happening again.

Therefore, Aura wants to eliminate the existence of the Sword Village from the root.

"Remember the stone stacking game, Sassy?"

"remember."

"Let's keep playing."

"Ok?"

"Next you will build a village around a stone cave thirty miles to the east."

"Village?"

"You have to help me hide a sword. Never let any outsider find it, and never tell anyone outside the village about its existence."

"sword?"

"In exchange, I will teach you magic."

"...How long do you need me to hide that sword for you, Aura?"

"At least a thousand years."

"At least a thousand years..."

Shashi was held in Aura's arms. She looked up at the horns on Aura's head, thinking.

Chapter 64: The Sword Village Disappears

Teaching others magic... This should be the third time for Aura.

If one counts the number of times he had explained magical problems to human magicians, not just the number of times he had built a magic system for people from scratch, even Aura couldn't count them.

As for human magic, thanks to Celia who forced Aura to personally advance the magic projects, Aura has already completely mastered the human magic system.

Even if the person he met was not a rare genius like Volame, Aura was confident that he could guide him to become an excellent magician.

Shashi listened carefully to Aura's explanation, from the origin of human magic, the evolution of imitating demon magic, and the transformation of elves after joining magic research. It was explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, as if Aura was an eyewitness.

After the basics of magic were finished and they began to go deeper, Aura asked about Shashi's wishes.

"What kind of magic does Shassi want to learn?"

"A magic trick that allows a potato to turn into two!"

"Well... there is no such magic."

"There's none?"

"Not that I know of."

"Oh."

Sassy lowered her head, feeling very frustrated.

Aura patted her head and spoke softly to comfort her.

"Although I don't know magic to make food more abundant, it doesn't mean that Shashi can't learn it."

"Hmm? Even the teacher couldn't do it, but the students can do it?"

"Didn't I tell you at the beginning that magic is a discipline based on imagination? Magicians can't do things they can't imagine. Before Shashi asked this question, no magician had ever tried to imagine potatoes multiplying. Since Shashi asked this question, she has already started to imagine. Maybe you can do it, the magic that makes potatoes multiply."

"But how do I start?"

"I will first teach you the magic of controlling plants to fight. However, this is only a theory of magic that I have read before. I cannot actually do it because I cannot imagine how plants grow."

"I can imagine it!"

"Then Shashi, you might have a talent that I don't have."

"Something that Aura couldn't do?"

"Yes."

Aura nodded. Although she admitted it verbally, she disagreed in her heart.

When Aura taught Shasi magic, he didn't mean to let her play house like planting potatoes.

This group of slaves from the religious country is not stable. Sooner or later they will find out that Aura is not the so-called goddess messenger, but a demon who enjoys eating humans.

At that time, if Aura still wanted to control them and ask these believers to guard the holy sword for him, he would have to use force.

This is also the reason why Aura taught Shasi combat magic. In the eyes of other humans, Shasi, who was the first to come into contact with Aura and get help from Aura, was Aura's spokesperson.

It is impossible for Aura to stay by the holy sword for the rest of her life, and when there is a real need to fight against the invasion of foreign humans, Aura cannot show up in person. After all, demons are taboo to humans at any time, and it will attract attacks from national armies or powerful magicians.

Using humans to fight humans is the wise approach.

only--

Aura couldn't figure it out and frowned.

Why did Shashi choose plant magic?

How to fight with plants, how to threaten and control that group of believers with plants, plant magic is the least suitable for strong explosive combat types.

But forget it.
