Understand humans!

"Hey, then I'll pick it up without hesitation."

Aura carried the dwarf demon on his back and glanced at his face. He looked bitter and resentful, and his face was hideous even in his sleep - most demons looked like this.

This was really great. Aula was worried about hiding in the mountains for too long and lacking information from the demons. Someone brought him a pillow just when he felt sleepy.

Sending such a young demon into her hands.

How powerful can a demon like this who hasn't even grown up be, even if he has high talent? Even if the Demon King is at this age, if he meets Aura, he can only let Aura control him.

It's so easy to get information from this dwarf~

Aura carried the little demon on his shoulders and brought him back to the village.

She planned to wait for the little demon to wake up and ask him for information from Shuharat, the omniscient demon. After all, Aura had traveled through time for a thousand years until now, and even the powerful demon king did not know of Aura's existence. The only person who might know her identity and pose a threat to her was Shuharat, who could predict the next thousand years.

As long as she could find a way to deal with Shuharat, she, Aura, would be absolutely safe in this era.

"Eh, I don't want that either."

Aura sighed, for having the evil thought in his heart to kill the demon sage Shuharat in advance.

But Aura had no choice. After all, what had she been doing since she traveled through time?

He saved Furlian, the criminal who killed the Demon King, saved Volame, the ancestor of human magic, and went to the Continental Magic Association to serve as the first president - although no demons know about it so far, Shuharat can peek into history from the future.

If Shuharat is not killed, Aura will not be able to sleep or eat.

But after killing Shuharat, if the top think tanks around the Demon King disappear, wouldn't she, Aura, be destroying the bright future of the demon clan?

——Is there any need to think about this question?

The previous top think tank disappears, and of course the next top think tank will take over!

——Who will be the next top think tank of the demon clan?

Of course it was her, Aura!

With a thousand years of historical experience, is she still no match for Shuharat, who led a group of people to attack but was killed by the Hero of the South?

After replacing Shuharat as the second-in-command of the Demon King, Aura will be able to lead the demon clan into a revolutionary future with her extraordinary wisdom and profound historical experience!

With the wisdom of Aura——

Will definitely lead the demon clan to great success!!!

As for how to kill Shuharat, Aura was even more confident.

If you ask Aura to kill Shuharat a thousand years later, Aura will definitely give up. After all, that is Shuharat with great magical powers. Even if Aura finds him, he will not be able to defeat him head-on.

But now Shuharat...

Aura glanced at the little demon on his shoulder.

The current Shuharat should be just like the dwarf on her shoulder, weak and powerless, not very good at magic, and even when using predictive magic, there are many mistakes.

It would be no more difficult for Aura to crush Shuharat to death with her bare hands than to crush the dwarf on her shoulder.

If the little demon on her shoulder could provide information to help her kill Shuharat, Aura wouldn't mind taking this weak and pitiful little demon as her subordinate.

As a reward for her loyalty, Aura could teach the little demon magic.

——Aura’s attitude towards weak demons is the friendliest among all the big demons, so there will be demons willing to follow her in the future.

Chapter 68 Why are you so angry?

Smoke and wooden ceilings—

When Shuharat woke up, this was the scene he saw.

"what--"

He turned over in panic and found that he was actually sleeping on a bamboo mat. The surrounding environment and the weaving techniques of the bamboo mat were all in the human style.

"I...I...I was caught by humans?!"

Xuharat searched his whole body, but found no special magic mark that was forced upon him in his sleep. Even his clothes showed no signs of being damaged. The man who picked him up from the wild woods seemed to have no hostility towards him at all.

"Wake up——"

The sound of the door opening was heard, and when Xiuharat looked up and saw the person coming, all the doubts in his heart disappeared.

It's a demon.

Although a large part of his purple hair was missing, he was indeed a demon.

Xuharat was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the previous experience of being hunted down by his compatriots, his nerves immediately tensed up again.

Yes! Even if we are all demons, we cannot let our guard down! Demons are creatures without fraternal feelings. Even if we have similar appearances and similar voices, we will not arouse sympathy from other demons.

"what you up to?"

"Eat something, you little dwarf - you look so malnourished, a poor orphan without parents."

"........."

Xiuharat was a demon who could understand a little bit of human culture. He could hear the mockery in the words of the purple-haired demon, but when Xiuharat looked up into the purple-haired demon's eyes, he could not see a trace of hostility in those clear purple eyes.

It was as if what he just said was just a spontaneous expression.

"Thank you..." In any case, Xiuharat reached out and took the bowl handed to him by Aura. The bowl contained mushy noodles. Xiuharat was not angry about what Aura had just said. After all, what Aura said was the truth - the demons were all orphans without parents, and they had to rely on themselves to find food since they were born.

"Gulp gulp..." Shuharat took a sip, then glanced at Aura who was waiting on the side with an unpleasant expression.

"You didn't poison me?"

"how come!"

"That's really hard for you."

"It tastes bad?"

"It tastes bad!"

"It's good enough for a child without parents to have a stutter, but you're picking on him..."

"........."

That was true, but Shuharat always felt something was wrong.

Ordinary demons cannot detect the strangeness in these words.

But ordinary demons cannot say such strange words.

Xuharat secretly observed Aura for several times, and finally drank the porridge slowly and with difficulty.

"Ahem—" He coughed once or twice and handed the bowl to Aura.

"What do you want with the bowl?"

"Not giving it to you?"

"I cook and I have to wash?"

"……Right."

Regardless of whether this rice can be considered "rice" in terms of taste, Shuharat still admired Aura's insistence on the principle of fairness.

Most of the demons are greedy and selfish. They don't follow the rules and find it difficult to abide by the fair system issued by the Demon King.

But the demon in front of him was obviously different. Although it was just a small matter like cooking and washing dishes, Xuharat could see the character of this purple-haired demon from this small matter.

It must be a demon clan that values ​​fairness, abides by equal exchange, and has principles!

After washing the dishes, Xiuharat walked back and took the magic contract handed to him by Aura.

After taking a closer look, Xiuharat frowned and raised his head in doubt:

"This is a slave contract."

"Yes."

“Why should I sign it?”

"Didn't you eat the meal I cooked?"

"Do you think... a bowl of rice is enough to buy my life?"

"Uh, isn't that the way it's calculated?"

Aura tilted her head, and Shuharat wanted to overturn the table, thinking that Aura was trying to force him to obey.

But after carefully observing Aura's clear, non-hostile purple eyes, Shuharat found that this was not the case.

This purple-haired demon...seems to really think this is a fair trade???

"Hey, greedy little guy, I'll change it then."

Aura took the contract back, modified it slightly, and handed it back to Shuharat.

"What does it mean that you are responsible for my three meals?"

"It's payment, payment for being my slave."

"........."

"Still don't accept it?"

Aura tilted his head, gaining a new understanding of the little demon's greed.

"Forget it then. I was planning to take you in as my subordinate."

Since the little demon refused to agree, Aura had no intention of forcing him and tore up the contract in front of him.

In terms of attitude towards his own kind, Aura is the friendliest among the demons. Generally, powerful demons survive alone and will not take care of their weaker counterparts, but Aura allows weaker demons to stay by his side even though he is one of the Seven Broken Sages.

Although the demons who stay by Aura's side also need to serve her without any compensation, the mere fact that they are protected by powerful demons and have magical guidance by their side is enough to attract weaker demons. Aura and the weaker demons also have a symbiotic relationship.

"I was quite optimistic about you and even gave you more compensation in the contract. I never wrote compensation before. Since you refused such generous conditions, I have no choice..."

When Aura tore up the contract, Shuharat was ready for battle, thinking that Aura would kill him for not obeying or force him to sign a slave contract, but in the end, Aura just patted his head.

It's so humiliating.

Shuharat had never seen such demons before.

Friendly enough, yet shameless enough, the key point is that this purple-haired demon doesn't even know it. Looking at her pitying expression, she really thinks that Xuharat missed out on a hundred million by not being her subordinate.

"Why... don't you force me to sign it?"

"Why do I have to ask you to sign it?"

"Am I not a demon worthy of enslavement?"

"You're too greedy. I don't want it."

"Greedy?! You're greedy after drinking a few bowls of porridge? Do you know how disgusting that is? That's torture! Torture is good!!"

"Look, in a hurry again—"

Aura shook her head, somewhat disgusted.

Aura had no habit of forcing her own kind to obey. Her obedience magic was only used on humans. Aura was happy to accept the demons who were willing to follow her, but she would not use obedience magic to force those who were unwilling to follow her.

——The demons who worked for her before didn’t ask for anything, they just worked for her and had to take care of their own meals. This time, Aura finally decided to provide meals for the demons because they were young, but they were rejected.

Moreover, this dwarf is emotionally unstable and a demon with great flaws. Fortunately, I did not recruit him as my subordinate.

"Hu-hu-"

What does it feel like?

Shuharat covered his face and tried to calm his racing heart.

All demons have no feelings, and most of them have no emotions, but a very small number of demons can experience emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness - they just don't have empathy, so they still can't feel other people's emotions, and can't have complex emotions like love, reluctance, and longing.

Shuharat is a demon who has a few emotions but no feelings.

But today, for some reason, his "small amount" of emotion was disturbed and affected Shuharat's normal thinking.

Why are you so angry?
