Understand humans!

Is it too late to abandon her now?

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Magic is ultimately a personal miracle. With Fulilian's talent, even without Volame, she will be able to accumulate so much magic power once the time comes. The influence of the master on magicians is still at the conceptual level..."

"Wait, concept?!"

Aura realized something.

If she remembered correctly, Volame, a human magician who had left her name in history, was extremely famous in the history of the demons because of her hatred for the demons. She even spent her entire life hunting down the great demons. It was unknown how many demon generals and demon sages had died in her hands.

And was Fulilian's hatred for the demons also inherited from her master?

Yes, after all, now Frelian thinks that I am a good demon. As long as I can change Volame's concept, Frelian will have no reason to hate demons anymore.

Thinking of this, Aura suddenly stopped.

"Let's eat first."

"What."

"You must be very hungry."

Gulu gulu——

This voice had been heard from Aura's back more than once. She had ignored it before because she thought the human town was just ahead, and when she got there, she could ignore Volame.

But now, the human town is still far away, and she still has to solve Volame's diet problem first.

Otherwise, if Volame starves to death, who will tell Fulilian that Aura is a good demon?

Aura found a spot under a tree with shadows from the sun, put Volame down, and then walked into the depths of the woods alone.

It was already noon when she came back with a pile of wild fruits and mushrooms, which were not sure whether they were edible or not, as well as some strange-looking fish caught from a stream intertwined with vines.

Glancing at Volame.

"I'm not fainting from hunger."

You have a strong will.

Aura had discovered this before. Logically, Volame was thirsty and tired because he had lost his food, and she should have carried him on her back at night. Normally, a human child would have been so sleepy that he would have fallen into a deep sleep.

But Volame managed to hold on. Along the way, she forced herself to concentrate and listen carefully to Aura's interpretation of magic, forcing herself to memorize it.

Even Aura admired her willpower. After all, she had been talking all night and she felt sleepy even when walking.

I just don't know how much of this content Volame can remember.

Take another look.

Uh?

"Volame, what's that in your hand?"

"Birds caught with magic traps can be eaten."

"........."

What a terrible talent.

Aura stared at Volame, who was sitting by the tree and didn't even have the strength to stand up, for a long time.

He is simply a natural born magician. Even in this extreme physical condition, he can keep thinking continuously and apply the magic knowledge he learned last night. It's really... disgusting.

When Volame saw her coming back, he tiredly raised the bird in his hand, whose feathers had been roughly plucked, and smiled proudly:

"Would you mind lighting a fire so I can roast the bird?"

"sure"

"What did you bring back?"

“Edible.”

"All the mushrooms in your hand are poisonous, and most of the fruits are also poisonous. The only edible ones have a paralyzing effect. As for the fish, you can eat it, but it tastes bad."

“You can eat it even if it’s poisonous.”

"Who are you giving it to? Do you want to eat this? Don't be so depressed. There are ways to commit suicide without pain."

"For you to eat."

"..."

Volame didn't want to say anything more to this weirdo who had carried his magic on his back all the way and taught him the basics of magic.

Her malice was naked.

But the good deeds are real.

This is not human behavior at all, it's more like a beast imitating a human poorly.

But Volame could no longer care about so many things. She was like a drowning person who would grab any straw that could save her life. Even if it was a wild beast, she could only choose to live with it.

呲——

The flames were lit, and Volame first quenched her thirst with a fruit that Aura had brought back that was less toxic, and the rich sugar in the juice also delayed her hunger. She skewered the bird meat with wood and roasted it over the fire.

After finishing everything, I feel exhausted again.

She turned her head and stared at Aura, who had been watching but never helped, and said dissatisfiedly:

"You just watch?"

"I'm not hungry. I've had better things before."

Aura answered as a matter of course, and Volame was furious again.

Those dry food and clean water originally belonged to her.

After eating and drinking... the actual situation was of course not so good. It was just that Volame filled her stomach a little, and the warmth came from her body. Her tense nerves relaxed at once, and she felt sleepy and almost fell asleep.

She glanced at Aura, who nodded at her, and she finally allowed herself to lose consciousness.

"Will you protect me?"

This was Volame's last question before he fell asleep.

"I will protect you!"

Aura's determined look just now clearly gave this answer!

After Volame fell asleep, Aura turned to the woods and said:

"Come out, she's already asleep. She ate the paralyzing fruit and won't wake up for a while."

"I didn't expect to meet my kind here." A rough voice sounded from behind the woods. Hidden in the jungle was a huge sealed armor. Judging from his aura, he was a general of the demon clan.

Aula didn't know him. He was the unlucky guy who died before she was born.

"Do you want to protect this human?" The voice of the armored demon was buzzing and very low. His fierce eyes pierced through the gap in the armor and fell on Aula, who had taken off the red cloth on his head, revealing a horn.

It had been observing for a long time and suspected that this fellow tribesman had a tendency to collude with foreign enemies.

"how come?"

"I suspect you are colluding with humans."

"I do not have."

"Then you kill her."

"It can't be done."

The armored demon instantly emitted murderous intent, targeting both the sleeping Volame and the standing Aura.

"But I can let you kill her."

Aura said, stepping aside.

Although the armored demon was skeptical, he still picked up the axe and chopped at Volame. The axe was half a person's height, and it could cut her in half vertically.

-

“Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahahaha…”

"That idiot."

Aura's face was covered in dust, and the cloth wrapped around her horns was tattered. She took advantage of the moment when the armored demon let down his guard against her, attacked the armored demon from behind, and then immediately fled with Volame.

"You must be kidding. I finally managed to change her impression of me. How could I let you kill me?"

As a selfish demon, Aura is willing to do anything as long as his future self can survive Fulilian's hands.

She had finally managed to make Volame stop hating her.

She would not let anyone kill Volame before revealing her identity as a demon and letting Volame convey to Fulillian the idea of ​​not being hostile to demons.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

"Don't pull my horns!"

Aura suddenly grimaced with a look of pain on her face, and turned her head to scold Volame, who was holding her two horns in a state of confusion because he had swallowed the paralysis fruit.

The right horn was fine, no matter how hard Volame pulled, it couldn't be torn apart with human arm strength. But the left horn had a big crack at the root because he was hit by the axe of the armored demon when he rescued Volame, and he didn't dodge it completely, so it hurt a lot when he pulled it.

"The horns... look good."

Volame's eyes were blurry, sleepiness and paralysis made her half conscious, she could only roughly see the figure of a girl with purple hair and long horns.

"My horns are beautiful, aren't they!" Although Aura was disgusted by Volame grabbing his horns, he still straightened his chest and said proudly when he heard the compliment.

She also likes her horns very much. In the aesthetics of the demons, horns are also an important part, and she, Aura, is a rare beauty with big horns among the demons.

Volame didn't reply, and when Aura looked back, she had completely fainted.

"Uh?"

Aura reached back and felt something wet. She spread her hand in front of her and took a look.

is blood.

"You're actually injured too, I didn't notice."

When she escaped from the armored demon's axe, she had tried her best to protect Volame, but she didn't expect that even with such caution, she couldn't completely avoid the armored demon's slash. After all, he was a demon general and should not be underestimated.

"Volamei, you can't die."

Aura didn't feel any sympathy for this human. Everyone knew that demons couldn't understand human emotions. She just wanted to save Volame's life out of consideration for the maximum benefit.

It has nothing to do with the order given by Fulilian: "Do not harm humans."

Just because Volame died, all the time and energy she had invested before was wasted.

Aura found a hill in the forest, climbed up, and then looked around from the high ground. Finally, she found traces of human beings. Although it was just a small village, it was enough for Volame to stay for a while, giving her time to treat Volame's wounds.

Coming down the hill, Aura quickly headed towards the village.

About a hundred breaths later, she arrived at the human village. Without alerting anyone, Aura placed Volame behind a house and leaned against the wall.

Then he quickly undressed her.

A bloody wound ran diagonally across the middle of Volame's chest, fortunately the soft parts on both sides were not injured. Aura heard that humans needed this thing to feed their young, and it was a very important organ - as for the demons, they also needed it. Sorry, Aura didn't know about this. For a 500-year-old young demon, it was still too early to give birth to offspring.

"Volamei, you are lucky. Only a rib was broken and no internal organs were injured. If I help you stop the bleeding, you will survive."

Of course Aura knew that Volame couldn't hear her, she was just talking to herself. Time was running out, so she stole clean water from the house next door, heated it with magic, and cleaned Volame.

Then she took off the red cloth with corners wrapped around her head. It was originally her long skirt, but now it was torn into strips. After heating and disinfecting it, it could be used as hemostatic gauze.

When everything was done, Aura was covered in sweat and his hands were stained with blood.

call--

She wiped the sweat off her face with her elbow and stood up. Suddenly, she heard the voice of a human child behind her. She first helped Volame cover her Roman skirt, then turned around and saw a boy looking at her curiously.

In front of the boy, she pulled her bloody hands out of Volame's chest, and then made a creepy smile that was forced out only by the demons.

He put his bloody finger to his lips in a hush motion.

"Don't tell anyone what happened here."

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared in front of the human boy.

The boy was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He gasped for a long time before he mustered up the courage to go forward and check on the human female who was covered in blood and whom he didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

As for Aura, of course she went to lure away the Demon General. Until now, she could feel a blood line of murderous intent tracking her. If she didn't go away and the Demon General chased her, all the humans in this village would die.

Of course, Volame will die too.
