Understand humans!

Silla's fists clenched unconsciously, and she clutched the corner of the golden robe given to her by the nobles as a mercenary garment. But in the end, Silla said nothing. She responded and went to take the magic weapon off the carriage and handed it to the servant of the Earl's Mansion.

When Sheila completely disappeared from the reality, Barritt's eagle-like and wolf-like green eyes finally faded away. However, even so, he still scolded Sheila in front of Count Conrad:

"A lowly country bumpkin who thought he would be a little more polite after learning magic."

"The result is still so barbaric. When you are given power, you wag your tail and beg for mercy, but after a while, you become ungrateful."

"What an ungrateful bastard! Does she really think she can get the position of secretary general with her magic talent? You can only get it because the master allows you to do so."

Barrett scolded Sheila for her rudeness while trying to please Count Conrad.

Conrad just sat in a high position and watched, smiling without saying a word.

It was already afternoon three days later when Aura stepped down from the carriage, bowed, and lifted her hat slightly to give her stuffy horns some air.

After three days of trekking, she finally arrived at the city of San Lorenzo.

"It's really remote. Some mountain roads are difficult to pass even with a carriage. We have to use magic to help."

Aura stopped at the entrance of the city of San Lorenzo and looked up at the not-so-high city wall, the dirty streets inside the city gate, and the hungry, skinny, and busy people - this place was completely different from Kribi. If the Continental Magic Association had not opened a branch here and urged the local nobles and magicians to work together to build an academy, the poor people in this poor place would probably never be exposed to magic in their entire lives.

However, no matter how remote or poor San Lorenzo is, Aura doesn't care - the wealth or poverty of humans has nothing to do with the demons.

In Aura's eyes, he could not see the gorgeousness and simplicity of human clothes, but only the lines of magic emanating from the surface of the body.

The demons distinguish humans by their magic power.

"So it's the same everywhere. Aren't these still humans with extraordinary talents?"

Aura carried two large boxes and walked to the street. Passersby turned their heads to look at Aura, whose clothes and decorations clearly did not belong here, and Aura looked back at each of them.

She actually saw one or two good talents - young, natural born magicians who had not received systematic training but could still see the flow of magic power.

After walking halfway towards the location of the Magic Association branch along the map of San Lorenzo on the drawing in her hand, Aura finally met the person who greeted her.

Although there was only one person, which was different from what Aura had imagined, the scene of being welcomed by the public, but Aura didn't care. She just needed a local to lead the way for her.

"Hello?" The woman in the gold-patterned clothes waved at Aula. She was a little hesitant. Although Aula's clothes were the same as in the letter and the time when he took office was also correct, this face looked a little too young.

At first glance, she looks underage. What does the Kribi headquarters think of sending a girl of this age to be the head of the association's branch in San Lorenzo?

"Hello!" Aura greeted her carelessly.

"My name is Sheila. I'm the Secretary General of the San Lorenzo branch. I'm here to welcome the new Minister Aura, who was sent directly from the headquarters."

"My name is Awula, I'm from Kribi, and as for my position... the old woman didn't say anything, so I just take your word for it. I only know that I'm here to teach."

"You are so humorous - let me help you carry your luggage."

Silla smiled at Aura's words, but didn't believe it. She took the initiative to move closer and reached out to the suitcase that Aura was holding in both hands.

Uh?

Aura pulled the box back, avoiding Silla's hand, then looked at the human woman warily for a long time, making sure that she had no ill intentions, then he relaxed his gaze and handed both boxes to Silla.

"Uh, let me take both boxes..."

"It's very light."

"It seems so." Sheila looked at the two boxes that Aura lifted over her head effortlessly.

"sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome, Your Excellency."

puff-

The moment Silla took the box, she regretted it. The box was much heavier than she expected, and the moment she took it, it almost pulled her to the ground.

This purple-haired girl doesn't look very tall, so how did she manage to carry two such heavy boxes all the way?

Chapter 104: Is it hot?

"Why are you sweating all over? Is the weather very hot today?"

“…Not hot.”

Aura saw Xila carrying two boxes. After walking a few steps, sweat began to appear on his forehead. He looked up at the sky in surprise, but did not see the sun.

When Sheila heard Aura's question, she was just a little angry, but she endured it.

Sheila used floating magic to reduce the weight of the boxes in her hands, and her red hands felt better.

At this time, Aura, who was walking in front, was already urging her.

"Why are you walking so slowly? Aren't you leading the way for me? Are those two boxes very heavy for Sheila?" Aura looked back at Sheila, who was walking slowly, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"It's not heavy, not at all... My Lord, please follow me!"

Aura's words were clearly caring, but Sheila inexplicably felt her blood boiling.

The fingers that had been limp suddenly clenched into fists. Sheila shouted, put both boxes on her shoulders, and walked in front of Aura in one go.

Xila led the way in front, and turned back from time to time to observe Aura. She saw that she was looking around carelessly, as if she was heartless and had no sense of crisis at all.

Silla sighed in her heart.

She is another naive young lady who was brought up in a field of flowers. She has never experienced any setbacks and has no idea how treacherous human nature can be.

She felt sorry for Aura in her heart. Although whether Aura resigned or was transferred in the end had nothing to do with Silla, Silla still sincerely hoped that Aura could hold on a little longer.

After all, Sheila had to welcome new ministers every once in a while, and every time she had to take them around the familiar branches of the Magic Association, which was quite troublesome.

After many twists and turns, Sheila, carrying two large boxes, finally brought Aura to the branch of the Magic Association in San Lorenzo.

Sheila first took Awula to her new residence, a small two-story apartment.

"This is your place."

"kindness."

Silla helped Aura put away her luggage, and finally straightened up and wiped the sweat off her face. She should have taken Aura to inspect the branch's work as soon as possible, but she really couldn't hold on any longer, so she came to the apartment first to put Aura's luggage away.

Then he took Aura to other departments of the Magic Association branch.

Sheila introduced Aura one by one:

"This is your office."

"kindness."

"This is the meeting room."

"kindness."

"This is the classroom for magic apprentices."

"kindness."

“This is the experimental material library.”

"kindness."

"This is the library, and the archives are next door."

"kindness."

“This is the dining hall for meals.”

"Ok!"

Aula introduced several places in a row with a neutral attitude until she heard about the restaurant, when her tone changed.

"Is it free too?" Aura looked up and asked Sheila who was following beside him.

"Um... it's not free. Apprentices and guild members have to pay for their meals here. But it's not expensive. Even magic apprentices from poor families can afford it."

"But Kribi doesn't want money."

"Kribi is a big city after all. The headquarters there is very wealthy and doesn't care about this little income."

“Oh… is it delicious?”

"Is it delicious? I don't know your taste... Uh, wait, sir, you can't stick your head in there, that's the window where food is served, not the entrance to the kitchen!"

"I'm just curious." Aura stood on tiptoe, and after hearing what Silla said, he obediently retracted his head.

"Curious... It's not time to cook yet. If you really want to know, I can take you in to have a look when dinner is served."

Silla had the urge to cover her head and remain silent.

She didn't understand why the headquarters sent such a silly and stupid underage girl.

Although this purple-haired girl has been well-behaved so far and is willing to listen to Silla, this also means that this purple-haired girl is easy to bully. I'm afraid it won't be long before she will be ostracized and stripped by the people above her.

But—what does this have to do with Sheila?

Silla took the time to secretly stare at Aura.

Let them be driven away, people from outside have tried so many times. How can we expect people from Kribi to be special and bring changes to San Lorenzo?

Anyway, this small place of San Lorenzo will probably remain like this in a hundred years, and my life will not change in my lifetime, so let it be, and Sheila is willing to do so.

After showing Aura around the branch, Sheila had to go about her own business, and Aura didn't care whether anyone was watching over her or not, she planned to just walk around by herself.

Just after parting with Aura and walking towards her office with a pile of documents to be processed, Sheila ran into several plainly dressed magic apprentices in the corridor. They were gathered in twos and threes, and seemed to have been waiting for her here for a long time.

When Xila arrived, one of the apprentices' eyes lit up immediately. He came forward, bowed his head and greeted Xila respectfully, and then asked:

"Hello, Lady Silla. Is there any news about the place I applied for last time...the last time I applied for the magic exchange in Kribi?"

"It has been submitted to the higher-ups. Please wait patiently."

Unlike the apprentice's respect and enthusiasm, Sheila's tone was cold and perfunctory, like a formulaic response.

"Ah, thank you, Lord Sheela. Thank you for your concern."

"Don't worry too much. What's yours is yours, and vice versa. With your grades, even if you can't go to Kribi, you can stay here and apply to be the earl's court magician. Although it will be difficult to leave San Lorenzo in the future, the salary is not bad, enough for you to start a family."

Sheila hated the apprentices' submissive attitude towards her.

Worry, what does she have to worry about? She talks as if she can get those places for them.

Although she was resentful, Sheila couldn't bear to see this talented student hold on to unrealistic hopes and see his dreams shattered, so she suggested another more practical path.

But the students didn't seem to listen to her.

"Ah, thank you for your comfort, sir. I know that the Earl is kind-hearted and willing to give us half-baked magic apprentices a bite of food... But if I have the chance, I would like to see the pinnacle of magic, the magic capital of Kribi, and the great magicians in Kribi. What is that place like?"

"Well...Kribi is actually not that different from San Lorenzo."

Silla smiled with difficulty, and her arms holding the documents tightened a little.

"Thank you, thank you for your guidance, Lord Sheila. My parents supported me to come here to study magic so that I could one day leave San Lorenzo. Although the job given by the Earl is also very good, I cannot let them down."

"I see."

"Thank you for your encouragement! I will keep working hard and be the most diligent magician no matter where I am!"

Chapter 105: The Pillar of Humanity... What Does It Have to Do with Me?

Silla waved her hands. In front of her, the civilian magic apprentices left laughing and joking. They were all making fun of the man's dream. But while laughing, they also believed that the man could do it. After all, his magical talent could only be fully utilized in a bigger place.

The sounds of youthful play faded away, and Silla's hands clenched tighter, her eyes wandering.

Thank you for my encouragement?

What can I encourage you about?

Xila became inexplicably irritated, and a fire in her heart burned for no reason.

Wasn't she clear enough?

It was impossible to become a magic exchange student at Kribi. It was impossible! The only three places had already been taken by the young children of nobles from all over the country arranged by the Earl. It was no longer possible to apply for one with talent!

No matter how much you ask me, I can't give you a place!!

Although in the end, it was indeed Sheila who determined the list, but her boss had already given her three names, and Sheila had no way to expand the number of places.
