Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 2 Hibiscus King

As the ancestor of human "magic".

A hero who spread the wisdom of "magic" throughout the unified empire.

What is the reputation of Volame, the first great human magician, among the people of the empire?
Although his travels over the past decade have made the answer to this question clear to Aguishid.

But as the carriage slowly drove into the gate of the imperial capital under the respect and gaze of hundreds of imperial guards.

The scene that appeared before Agusid was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

Countless fireworks bloomed in the sky the moment Volame appeared before everyone.

Countless respect and love came along with the loud cheers.

——[Esberg] The enthusiasm of the people almost overwhelmed Volame.

Even Agushide sparked heated discussions among the people of the imperial capital.

Because he is Volame's companion, because he sits next to Volame.

That's it.

Flowers and crystals, delicacies and fine wines were held high by countless people.

He gave everything just to get a little favor from Volame.

And Volame—

She did not ignore anyone and responded to all the hopeful looks.

She responded with a smile to every cheering crowd.

Of course, such a scene was difficult for Agushide to understand.

It's not that he hasn't seen such a big scene before.

Three hundred years ago, when he was summoned by the Demon King and named the Seven Sages, the scene was much grander than it is now.

At that time, thousands of demons filled the earth and the sky.

There were even five great demons present, serving before His Majesty the Demon King.

but……

At that time, Agusid could not feel what Volame was feeling at this moment.

No enthusiasm, no cheers.

There is no so-called respect.

Thousands of demons bowed before him simply because of his strength.

The five great demons only smiled at him because of his immense magic power.

Even the Demon King...

He just wanted to confer the title of Seven Sages of Collapse on Agusid because he was useful enough.

But these people in front of me——

Did any of them respect Volame for his strength?

Maybe, but only a small part.

Others admired Volame because of what she had done.

but……

Why do humans develop such strong emotions towards another person over something that means nothing?
"Human... I was once a human...

But why, now I can’t understand these emotions no matter what…”

Three hundred years ago, it was precisely because he still had some humanity left that he refused the canonization from His Majesty the Demon King.

But today, three hundred years later, Agushide looked at everything in front of him.

He could no longer understand his original choice and could not recall what he was thinking at the time.

"Do you hate what happened just now?"

Volame's voice rang in his ears, and Agushide finally came to his senses.

The carriage had already passed through the street and was heading towards the Imperial Palace.

"It's not that I hate you, I'm just distressed because I can't understand their feelings for you."

"That's it..."

Volame shook his head and looked at the distressed Agusid helplessly.

"Put aside your worries for now, or my disciples might discover your [magic of impersonating a human] later."

"You're talking nonsense again."

Despite saying this, Agusid still adjusted his mood appropriately.

Accompanying Volame into the palace, under the huge dome.

Everywhere I looked were court mages.

In the spacious corridor, all the court mages were lined up in order.

He quietly watched Volame and Agusid walking slowly forward.

"teacher."

"I am relieved to see you return safely." "Sir, your long journey is finally over."

"Did you have an interesting trip?"

……

……

"It's such an honor to see you again in my lifetime."

Greetings came one after another.

These usually powerful and arrogant court mages all lowered their heads in front of Volame.

"It's been a long ten years... In places I haven't seen, you've all grown into the cornerstone of the empire."

Volame looked at his disciples with great satisfaction.

Then he pulled Agushid, who was standing aside and had no sense of existence, to his front.

The court mages then turned their attention to the young man next to their teacher.

Then, I was shocked.

"It's a huge amount of magic power..."

This surprised several relatively mediocre court mages.

But the next moment, their voices were interrupted by another horrified sound.

"Something's wrong... Wait, shaking?!"

The strongest ones among them discovered the clues one after another, and then expressed their admiration to each other without any concealment.

"No way, the magic power is shaking? This monstrous magic power is still being suppressed?"

"Undoubtedly a great magician."

"This magic power is comparable to that of the Great Demon Clan."

Listening to this series of answers, no one noticed the disguise magic on Agusid.

But Volame was not disappointed at all.

Instead, she was happy that some of them noticed the shaking caused by Agusid's suppression of magic power.

"Is this the new disciple you accepted during your journey?"

Suddenly, someone asked a question that everyone present was curious about.

And Volame looked at their curious eyes and just smiled without saying anything.

"You will know later."

After leaving these words, Volame pulled Agusid deeper into the palace.

"Your disciples are excellent."

As he walked along the street, Aguishid was not stingy with his evaluation.

"Although my ability to control my magic power is far inferior to yours, those who can see the fluctuations in my magic power are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses."

“Although they are still far from reaching the level of the [Great Demon Tribe].

But I think in a few decades, even if they face the Seven Collapsed Sages, they will probably be able to fight."

"Humans' talent is truly terrifying. It only took them over a decade to catch up with the demons who had practiced for hundreds of years."

"But, obviously, I disappoint you. Like I said, they can't see through my magic."

Aguishid said lightly.

Absolute confidence in one's own magic is a character flaw that every demon possesses.

Upon hearing this, Volame showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Agushid, it's too early to make any judgments now."

tread--

Agusid stopped and looked at the library door in front of him.

"Are you referring to the owner of the magical power behind the door?"

"The way you suppress your magic power is very crude—and even if you don't suppress it deliberately, your magic power seems to be inferior to those of the previous ones."

Volame, who was walking in front, also stopped and turned to look at Agusid.

"Trust me, Aguishid."

"That kid will be more than you can imagine."

Snapped--

As Volame finished his words, the library door was heavily opened from the inside.

In the eyes of Volame and Agusid——

A short, white-haired elf in a white dress poked its head out from the shadows.

She looked at Volame who was nearby and waved.

"Folamei, I heard you were back today, so I came to play with you."
