You call this magic?

There is nothing easier to control than a person whose heart is filled with anger.

However, this alone is meaningless. In order to gain the earl's trust on this basis, Liuguna also took another step, which was to go out frequently and try to build good relationships with the people with various words. In just three days, it even briefly gained the trust of a child who was not very worldly-wise. Even though the child's mother quickly took the child away, it didn't care much.

It doesn't matter how much time it takes, as long as it successfully deceives the ignorant people, it will have the capital to engage in deeper negotiations with Count Gulanath.

The weather is good today, which is perfect for going out and looking for people to network with.

Liuguna asked the two companions who followed him into the city to stay in the Earl's Mansion to monitor the Earl's movements, while he wandered the streets as usual. This was the inspiration he got from many demon companions who studied humans. If he wanted to get closer to humans, the best way was to accompany them peacefully. As long as he could implant the impression in the hearts of the people that "not every demon is an enemy", he would definitely succeed.

The lifespan of demons is very long, and it doesn’t even take long to gain the trust of humans, just an opportunity.

It's not in a hurry at all.

Until it found itself lying on the ground with a foot stepping hard on its face.

what happened?

Liuguna's mind went blank, and the heavy blow to his body caused him to temporarily lose control. He had no chance to use the [Blood Control Magic] that he was proud of.

"Are you stupid, this guy?"

Ethan patted Liuguna's face. Seeing no reaction, he turned back to look at the earl surrounded by the crowd: "You said this guy is eloquent, why can't I see it?"

"Maybe I was beaten stupid by you?" The Earl smiled brilliantly. This moment might be the happiest time he had laughed in the past few days.

As more and more people gathered around, Ethan thought for a moment and said, "My Lord Earl, could you please ask everyone around to move away a little?"

The Earl understood and immediately clapped his hands and shouted loudly. The people seemed to give him face and retreated when asked to do so. Soon, they left Ethan a circle with a diameter of about ten meters.

Ethan snapped his fingers, and a transparent barrier magic surrounded him and Liuguna.

It does not block sight or sound, it just blocks all attacks.

This is an insurance policy to prevent this guy from going berserk and getting chopped to pieces by the people around him. This situation should be avoided as much as possible.

"Hey, come back to your senses." Ethan gave Liuguna a slap in the face, which made him spin three times on the spot. Then he looked at Ethan in confusion.

Then, Ethan kicked it again and it flew out, hitting the barrier directly and bouncing back. It fell to the ground with its buttocks falling like a wild goose on the sand, still with an expression of disbelief on its face.

"Fuck, can you even speak?" Ethan was a little annoyed, and his tone began to become fierce.

At the same time, the Earl outside was very happy from beginning to end. If he didn't have to maintain his noble demeanor, he would have jumped up to cheer for Ethan.

Liuguna propped himself up and stood up, his expression numb as he passed over the earl who was trying hard to suppress his smile, the people with different expressions, and finally stopped at Ethan.

"I want you to die." He said this harshly while biting his wrist hard.

"Dang", accompanied by a heavy sound of bone cracking, one of his teeth broke off and fell to the ground with blood.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Liuguna: щ(?Д?щ)

People: (〃?A?)('?д?`)

Earl: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Ethan: (｀?ω?')

Just now, he put an [Armor Protection] on Liuguna's hand as quickly as possible.

"It's you, it's you--" Liuguna's current expression is difficult to describe. Coupled with the shoe prints on its face, the nosebleed from being beaten by Ethan, and a missing tooth, this demon becomes quite funny.

Ethan pointed at Liuguna and looked at the surrounding people and the earl: "I'm anxious."

A burst of laughter was heard. No one could imagine that a guy who was being beaten like a sandbag would feel oppressed.

Everyone wants to see the demons die immediately. In just a few days, anything the demons do will be interpreted as a conspiracy. Although it may be hard to say if time is longer, adults are not afraid, but they are afraid that children will be confused by them.

Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about now.

Liuguna simply ignored everything and, completely humiliated, used the blood flowing from his mouth to activate his blood-control magic. The blood in the air condensed into a string of hidden weapons with extremely strong killing power at an extremely fast speed, and attacked Ethan.

The essence of blood control is water control, and it is even much lower in level than water control. It's just that blood is simpler to solidify than water, and is relatively easier to operate. But no matter which one, the fighting method is the same.

Basically, it is a mass attack on the solidified substance. At most, it can control the timing of blood solidification. In front of Ethan, it is completely a toy.

Fire, lightning, ice, these three types of magic alone could give it a hard time, so the people enjoyed a bombardment show of magic of different attributes, using various low-powered magic to beat Liuguna into dust.

The world has become a lot quieter.

Volume 3: The Death of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 37: I Just Want to Hear Aura's Wail

While Ethan was teasing Liuguna, Solitaire hid on a nearby roof with invisibility magic, waiting quietly.

As expected, at the same time as the magic barrier was formed, a male demon with the appearance of a teenager quietly approached from behind, and the thread formed by magic quickly attacked the people at the back of the crowd. However, as soon as the magic thread wrapped around the civilian's neck, an invisible blade quickly passed by, and the thread was cut off so easily.

[Shadowless Divine Sharpness] from Solitaire.

The young demon Dorat's face changed drastically. He tried to find a target to attack, but his body suddenly became petrified and could not move, even his eyeballs could not move.

Its heart was like a raging storm, but before it could continue to be shocked, its body was lifted into the air like a toy and floated above the roof.

'Lord Solitier! '

Of course, Dorat knew the great demon Solitier, but the next moment he realized something was wrong. The woman in front of him looked exactly like Solitier, but she had no demonic aura, but no human aura either. Her smiling face did not convey any kindness.

'No, who is she?'

"The master is having a great time, little mouse, don't bother him, otherwise..." At this point, Solitier's eyes slightly opened, and a murderous intent instantly enveloped the young demon's body and mind, "I will make it difficult for you to die."

At this moment, Dorat felt that he was not a demon, and the person opposite him was the real demon.

So, Dorat was forced to stand on the roof and watch his extremely powerful companion being crushed into powder by the man like a chicken or a dog.

He was completely unable to fight back.

What Dorat didn't understand now was why Solitaire didn't kill him.

No matter how you look at it, this isn't a meaningful action, but it's not even qualified to ask right now.

"Alright." After Ethan finished, Solitaire jumped off the roof and threw herself into Ethan's arms. "Master, I helped you too!"

Then, he moved the petrified Dolat to the ground.

"Well done, a pat on the head as a reward." Ethan nodded, looked at Dorat, smiled and stroked Solitaire's head.

"Great."

At this moment, Dorat just felt that it was too shameful to watch.

The big demon Solitier's face made this little girl's coquettish gesture, which caused the whole demon to suffer a strong mental shock.

"Um, this... adventurer?" The Earl dismissed the crowd and walked forward with his men. He said in a friendly manner, "Thank you for your help. Otherwise, we don't know how to deal with them."

"Why don't you let them in from the beginning?" This was what Ethan said most speechlessly. Why did he have to lead the demons into the hinterland, fearing that he would die?

"Well, regarding this topic, please be sure to come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss it in detail." The Earl made a "please" gesture, Ethan nodded and hooked his finger, and the petrified Dolat floated face up above Ethan and Solitier's heads.

"This is……?"

"The sun is a bit too strong, let's make use of this waste and use it to block the sun." Ethan said righteously.

sinister?

The count looked at the setting sun and remained silent.

Well, never mind. As long as it is used to torture the demons, he has no objection.

When the group arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw a desolate figure squatting in the corner.

It's Fleury.

At this time, she was squatting in the corner, counting ants alone.

"Master, what are you doing?" Ethan's mouth twitched. Can't he even enter the City Lord's Mansion?

He glanced at the Earl who was making arrangements beside him and understood.

Love comes to you when someone is not around.

"Don't bother me. We're just a little bit closer to snatching that piece of breadcrumb from the East Ant Army."

It felt so pitiful to hear that.

"Ahem, Master, I bought some meat, uh, and some ingredients for Master's favorite Mercury Pudding."

"That brings me back to the point." Fulilian stood up as if nothing had happened and naturally blended in between Ethan and Solitaire. "Let's go."

"Um, Mr. Ethan, who is this...?"

……

night.

"Really, I'm so sorry!" At the dinner table, the Earl bowed to Fulilian in an exaggerated manner. "If I had known it was you who was visiting, I would have stayed at your house today!"

"Uh uh uh, there's no need to be so exaggerated..." Fulilian waved her hands while eating the delicious handmade mercury pudding made by her apprentice.

"No, the Brave Squad owes a debt of gratitude to our Gulanat family. When Aura attacked the city, it was the Brave Squad that repelled them." The Earl said seriously, "I hope you can accept my apology."

"By the way, where is this guy's remaining companion?" Fulilian couldn't stand this enthusiasm. She found Dorat, who was still stiff and motionless in the corner of the restaurant, and changed the subject very abruptly.

"Master, you didn't notice, did you?" Ethan, who was sitting next to her, said helplessly, "Who's missing from the table?"

Only then did Fulilian realize that Solitaire seemed to be missing.

"Also, Master." Ethan quietly approached Fulilian and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, use [Heat Ash Woman] to transform into the appearance of that guy over there."

Fulilian looked at Ethan with a vacant look in her eyes: "What evil plan are you planning?"

"I just want to hear Aura's wail."

"That's right."

……

In the brightly lit city, many soldiers formed teams of two or three to search the entire city for the remaining demon girl named Linie.

After Liuguna was beaten to pieces by Ethan, it disappeared from the City Lord's Mansion, but because of the barrier, it certainly could not escape from the city, but hid in the city.

At this time, in the sewers of the city, Linie was moving in the dark. When she found that Liuguna's magic power began to weaken, she immediately left the city lord's mansion with Dolat. They were going to take action together, but because Solitier acted too quickly, when she found out, Dolat had already been arrested, so she made a prompt decision and left immediately.

The demons don't have any emotions. It's obvious that things are starting to go wrong, and they won't stay there and fight to the death.

The only thing it has to do now is to lurk at the entrance and exit of the barrier and rush out when someone tries to pass through. This is the only way to leave here.

It was quietly waiting for the soldiers above to move away. When it was carefully preparing to lift the manhole cover above its head, a small hand quietly pressed on its shoulder.

"Where are you going? Can you share?"

Linie was shocked, but it was too late. She found that her body was gradually turning into a green piece of meat that looked neither like a plant nor an animal. The change was so fast that she didn't even have time to scream before her consciousness completely disappeared.

"Burp~" The green piece of meat merged into Solitaire's body. She burped, jumped on the spot, and nodded.

"Go back."

Volume 3: The Fall of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 38: Don't disappoint good girls, don't waste bad girls

"I see, that's indeed a solution."

At the banquet, the earl explained his thoughts in full.

Normally, the territory would have to repel Aura's army again and again, otherwise the road to the next city would be blocked, and everyone coming from the north or heading north would be trapped here.

Because of the barrier, the army had to go out of the city to fight, which presented a problem. Almost no one could survive Aura's magic, not to mention having to fight against Aura's three powerful demon subordinates under such circumstances.

The demons have their own ideas, and the Earl certainly has his own. As long as these three demons can break away from Aura's protection, he will have hope of killing them. However, as luck would have it, he just happened to meet the Furlin trio who traveled here.

As for the promised peace talks, it was pure bullshit. Both sides just wanted to take the opportunity to kill each other. Liuguna was even more naive than the count in this regard. He actually thought that the count could accept his sincerity.

"If there were fewer of them, you might have succeeded. Unfortunately, the subordinates of Qi Bengxian were not randomly selected with their eyes closed, and..." Ethan thought of the female demon who was sent to observe Solitiel. If that girl used magic on the battlefield, she might kill more people than Aura.

The most deadly thing about the demons in this world is that without releasing defensive magic, their bodies are extremely fragile, almost exactly the same as humans. A knife, a sword, an axe, or a general attack magic can easily kill them.

People like Ethan who practice both magic and martial arts like this situation very much.

"Anyway, thank you all very much for your help. Without you, I would probably have to look at those disgusting faces for a few more days... I have prepared guest rooms for you in the City Lord's Mansion. Please have a good rest tonight."

After dinner, the Earl gave the three of them a noble salute.

"That's not necessary." Ethan smiled, "We haven't finished our work yet."

"Hmm?" The Count was a little incredulous. "Are you still going to face Aura?"
