Understand humans!

However, when she turned around, she found that her arms were empty, and the little hand that she had just held had been pulled away at some point.

"Tsk, you heard it, she said no."

The voice came from behind Loran. It was Aura, whose hands were covered in blood as he held up a funding application agreement from the Ministry of Education and asked the Minister of Finance to stamp it.

Snapped--

To be honest, the Minister of Finance stamped the document completely on instinct while being distracted.

It's not his fault that he couldn't accept it. Anyone else would be stunned like him if they saw a colleague who they thought was dead just when they were grieving, and then he appeared in front of them as if nothing had happened and continued to ask them to perform their official duties.

"You took that blow from me and spit out so much blood, just to get that stamp?" Luo Lan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Aura glanced at her, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said lightly:

"You've never seen magic that allows you to vomit blood and pretend to be dead to survive, right?"

"Why do you want to delve into this kind of magic?"

"It wasn't something I did on purpose. It didn't take me much time. I just thought of it yesterday."

"No, I'm asking, why did you think of studying this kind of magic?"

"Because I'm smart."

Aura smiled complacently and puffed out his chest proudly.

She pointed to her head and looked with disdain at the HR director in front of her who was said to have worked in the association for many years.

They want to solve everything by force. Aura really doesn't understand how these humans can think like barbarians. How are they different from the vast majority of demons who only know how to fight?

Although Aura is a demon, Aura has said long ago that she is a special demon who climbed to the position of a great demon by relying on her brain. She is completely different from other demons who are like barbarians.

Aura is smart.

"You don't know, but you can't rely on force alone in the association. You have to rely on your brain."

"Thank you for your humility, which allowed me to win some funding for the Ministry of Education."

"hey-hey--"

Aura held down his hat, bowed gracefully, and with funding approved, he put on his robe and walked out calmly.

Leaving behind a group of pillars of the Continental Magic Association who were wondering if there was really something wrong with their brains.

The human magicians stood there in a daze.

-

Unified Empire, the Seventh Prince, Christine.

At this moment, he set out from the capital of the Zhengzhong Empire and headed for the magic capital of Kribi. He was accompanied by powerful warrior guards, each of whom had the strength to fight a first-level magician on equal terms at close range.

Christine felt the surging energy of the guards surrounding the carriage. Although she knew she was going to the center of human magic, Kribi, who was full of powerful people, also felt relieved.

He believed that even if that group of magicians wanted to attack him, they would have to consider the strength of the warriors around him who could fight the strongest magician on equal terms at close range.

As for your question about why Kristen emphasized the 50-50 split at close range.

Why not consider the long-range winning rate against the first-level magician?

Christine could only say, don't insult the profession of warrior, and don't insult the profession of magician.

At a long distance, there is no possibility for a warrior to defeat a magician.

In fact, when magic was first developed, the professional gap between warriors and magicians was not that big.

Although the magician has mastered all kinds of wonderful magic, he is limited by the pre-casting time, the magic pause between two casts, and the lack of accuracy in magic locking. In actual combat, he is ultimately in a useless position.

Lethality, yes.

But not much.

Chapter 142 How could she be as arrogant as the demons!

As long as the warrior wears leather armor, he can rely on his body to resist part of the magic; as long as he rides a warhorse, he can quickly approach the magician's body while avoiding the magician's spells; even a powerful warrior equipped with a steel bow can suppress the magician from a long distance.

However, this situation was completely overturned after someone spread the common attack magic.

Ordinary attack magic is cast quickly, supports multiple modes such as point shooting, continuous firing, and coverage firing, and has extremely powerful penetrating ability. The pre-casting motion is also reduced to the level of the simplest magic, almost the same as the pre-casting motion when pulling the trigger of a crossbow.

Not to mention the warriors with flesh and blood, even a city wall several feet thick would be penetrated in an instant by ordinary attack magic.

In this era, ordinary attack magic is a complete dimensionality reduction attack on combat professions other than magicians.

However, the magician is very strong, but Christine is not worried.

Because he came to negotiate on behalf of the Empire, no matter what, the Magic Association had to give the Empire some face. Even if it was not for the sake of the millions of soldiers, it had to be because their Empire was the first to support Celia in establishing the Continental Magic Association and even provided a city as a base.

Although that was thirty years ago, at this moment the Continental Magic Association, in accordance with the contract, has trained the largest number of court magicians among all the countries for the empire, so on paper, no one owes anyone anything.

Although, Christine did not come here with good intentions this time. The Empire could not stand the recent large-scale power grabbing moves of the Magic Association headquarters, so it sent Christine to negotiate and ask the president of the association to be more restrained.

But Christine didn't think it would be a big problem.

Because the Empire controls the main source of funds for the Continental Magic Association, and can cut off the economic pillar of the Continental Magic Association at any time. With this threat, the Magic Association dare not act rashly. This time, Christine was sent here to threaten the Continental Magic Association with funding cuts, so that the Continental Magic Association would know who the owner of this land is!

When sending Christine here, the Empire specifically instructed Christine to be cautious and teach the Continental Magic Association a lesson.

They told Christine that as a prince, he had to be nice to the association and not put on a nice face and make the association think that the royal family was easy to mess with.

Christine could understand the subtext of the foreign ministers:

——If you want to give me a cold shoulder, then give me a cold shoulder! You must not do it! You must not do it!!

Christine smiled bitterly.

He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be sent as an envoy to Kribi.

In the past, in order to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family and the strength of the empire, the people sent to Kribi were always tall and strong generals who rode horses and wielded swords.

After the normal attack magic spreads.

It was the Seventh Prince, a kind and singing and dancing man, who came as an envoy.

The reason why it was the Seventh Prince, and not the eldest prince who had the highest power and the greatest chance of inheriting the empire, or the Third Prince who commanded a large army to resist the demons, was not because the Seventh Prince was so good at diplomacy.

But because he is the most tolerant.

The current situation is that the Empire has the upper hand in public opinion. The Continental Magic Association suddenly reorganized the distribution of associations in various countries without notifying the countries in advance, which is suspected of interfering in other countries' internal affairs. The Empire has always fully supported the Magic Association and nothing has gone wrong.

Even if the Lord of the Empire confronted Celia face to face, he would still be right.

As long as Christine can endure and does not make any diplomatic mistakes this time, the Empire can use public opinion to defeat the Continental Magic Association and unite with other countries to suppress the Magic Association.

The method of suppression is also very simple. As long as the investment is withdrawn, the expansion of the Continental Magic Association can be delayed without direct conflict.

The Empire needs to take the lead in this matter, and everyone will stop injecting funds into the Magic Association.

I believe that it will at least make the Continental Magic Association overwhelmed and unable to worry about the affairs of the association's branches in various countries for at least twenty years.

Twenty years is enough, enough for countries to do many things, such as recruiting branches of various associations into the royal family.

So just bear with it!

Put the Continental Magic Association in a negative light in public opinion.

It would be a natural step to weaken the power of the Magic Association.

Christine is very confident in his tolerant personality, and no one has ever been able to make him lose control of his emotions.

Then, in the process of cracking down on the Magic Association, we have to find a way to make a breakthrough. We can't just talk to the president of the association about withdrawing investment right away.

You have to pick a soft persimmon to try your hand first.

After Christine looked through the information of the Magic Association, she immediately set her sights on the newly appointed Minister of Education.

This is good!

Being newly appointed to office shows that his power is not very solid.

Being young means that you don't have enough experience and are easy to be bullied.

Moreover, she happened to be the instigator of the previous incident of deporting the court magician, so there was a legitimate reason to punish her.

After entering Kribi, Christine quickly visited the Ministry of Education as a representative of the Empire.

It was called a visit, but in fact the visitor had no good intentions. As soon as they met, Christine mentioned the incident of the court magician being forced to repatriate.

"Minister Aura, I don't know why you insist on sending those court magicians to teach in the countryside. Do you know that you are making a big mistake by wasting talent?"

"How can we talk about talent when there are a bunch of people who break their promises?"

When Christine came to visit, Aula was working in the office. Christine wanted to scold her for lying on the chair with her feet on the table during working hours, having no manners, and being lazy and dozing off, but then he thought that this was an internal matter of the association and he should not interfere.

But he didn't expect that in the face of his questioning, this Minister of Education, who looked more like an unruly demon than a magician, would just glance at him with no respect.

Is this how you treat representatives of the Empire?!

Christine looked a little unhappy, but she didn't bother with the etiquette. After all, the purpose of this trip was to be tolerant and to gain the advantage in public opinion, and she couldn't harp on small details.

"Minister Aura, do you know that those court magicians represent the reputation of the royal families of various countries? You mobilize them at will. Where has the dignity of the royal families of various countries been placed?!"

"We are just a bunch of insects, how can we talk about dignity?"

Aura chuckled, his expression was contemptuous and arrogant, and Christine's face was pale. No matter how he looked at Aura's face, he could not see any falsehood in her expression at this moment.

She wasn't pretending to be angry.

But I really think so -

Christine was furious.

This is no longer the attitude of a Kribi magician! This is simply the look of a demon looking at a human!

This wasn't just any demon! This was the attitude of the arrogant, overbearing demons among the demons!

Chapter 143 You're Too Deceiving

How dare she? How dare these magicians? If they learn magic, do they really become demons? !

"Sir Aura, do you know what your words mean? Are you willing to pay the price of a rupture between the Empire and the Magic Association? Without the support of the Empire, the Magic Associations that rely on the human countries will only disappear."

"Dependence? What makes you feel this way? Magic is the supreme being, so why should we depend on others? The so-called Empire and the so-called human beings survive only by magic. I don't know what will happen to the Magic Association without the Empire, but we all know what the consequences will be for the Empire without the Magic Association. You don't want to see magicians disappear overnight on the border of the Empire, which has the longest battle line with the demons."

"Don't bully others too much!!!"

Christine was furious.

Originally, he thought that this mission was just a formality. He would hold the Magic Association accountable, and he would not get angry no matter what the Magic Association's attitude was.

But now Christine realized that she had overestimated her patience.

"The Empire... I will naturally report your words to the Empire... The Empire will pass it on to other countries. I hope that Lord Aura can bear the consequences of your words." In the end, Christine swallowed his anger. Now the situation was beyond his control. Even if he couldn't help it, what could he do?

Christine was rational. He knew the battle record of Aura in front of him, and that he was a strong man who was no less powerful than a first-level magician. Now the guards were waiting outside the Ministry of Education. Although he was also a warrior, his level was not up to par. If he attacked a first-level magician, he would probably only bring shame upon himself.

"Are you just reporting?" "Is the Empire just relaying the message?"

Aura stood up slowly, shaking her head in disappointment.

When Christine looked at her with fire in her eyes, Aura looked back with a grim smile:

"If you don't resist, you will be slaughtered. You can endure it for a while, but can you endure it for a lifetime? The empire is really declining~~Hahaha~~~"

Hearing the loud laughter echoing in her ears, Christine finally couldn't help but stand up, clenching her fists. How could this person be so arrogant? Did she really think she was invincible in the world? Did she really think that there was no one in the empire who could kill her?

"Mr. Aura, how dare you speak so arrogantly? You are so reckless, aren't you afraid..."

"No one in this world can scare me," Aura immediately interrupted Christine. She opened her arms and showed her magic power, which was like a pillar of heaven. Even though Christine was not a magician and could not see the magic power directly, she could still feel the tangible oppression.

"Except myself." Aura said calmly.

instigate!!

A book hit Aura's side hard and was torn into pieces by the twisted position of magic.

Aura looked at Christine who stood up and raised her fist with interest, as if she was surprised that an ant had the courage to meet the mountain again.

There was a hint of joy in her eyes.
