Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 32 Seeking Help from the Lonely Old Man (Part 2)

"When did my disciple gradually drift away from me?"

On the highest peak of the Etovis Mountains.

The most powerful magician in history, who has survived from the Age of Mythology to the present day, pondered this question.

Celia stood alone on the summit of Mount Etovis.

Her dazzling blonde hair swayed gently in the breeze as she pondered.

Before her eyes——

This is a masterpiece created by the "magic of creating a flower field":
An endless sea of ​​flowers formed by countless flower fields.

The flowers stretch their petals in the sunshine, like a huge piece of tapestry spread on the top of the mountain.

"Yeah... since when exactly?"

Celie walked slowly, her robe brushing against the flowers, stirring up a shower of tiny petals.

"From thirty years ago?"

She recalled quietly, her fingertips gently sliding across the flower surface.

The scenes in my memory slowly flow like a kaleidoscope.

When little Volame successfully performed magic for the first time, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night;

The tears of grievance when little Volame was punished by her to copy the spell a hundred times because he memorized it incorrectly;

The nervous yet determined look on little Volame's face when he first asked the question—

In a trance, Celie seemed to hear that familiar voice.

"Teacher, wait for me!"

She stopped and turned her head sharply to look behind her.

The waves of flowers swayed left and right in the wind.

There was no sight of the little figure that was always stumbling and chasing after her in the flower fields.

"always"--

This was true for Celie, because thirty years was just a blink of an eye for her.

"No... For humans, thirty years is already half a lifetime..."

"At that time, she was just a child and still stayed with me."

Celie rejected the idea and continued walking through the sea of ​​flowers.

"That was... twenty years ago?"

She looked down at her right hand—

Once upon a time, there should have been a warm little hand holding tightly.

"teacher--"

Another clear and cheerful voice in her memory made Celie slow down her pace unconsciously.

In my memory, Volame, who had grown up a little, waved his hands excitedly.

He couldn't wait to pull her towards the first flower field that Volame had created with her own hands.

The sunlight filtered through the flowers in front of her eyes, casting mottled shadows on her round cheeks.

Celia remembered that she just nodded at that time.

I casually said, "It can be better."

But when Volame grew up, he did not feel depressed or disappointed.

"The teacher is always so strict."

She just said this, and then slowly handed herself a bouquet of freshly picked wild flowers.

“But I like teachers like this.”

『Like』——that was just the admiration and respect that Volame had when she was a girl.

"So...it wasn't twenty years ago either."

After rejecting an answer once again, Celie still did not stop.

"Ten years... to be more precise, fifteen years ago—"

Finally, after a long period of contemplation, Celie finally determined the answer.

"Master, I want to see the outside world."

"as you like."

"I...I want to try to change the world in my own way. I want to—"

"You've already graduated. What you do has nothing to do with me."

The conversation at that time is still fresh in my mind.

that time……

Celie thought she didn't care, after all, she took in a disciple just to pass the time.

But when Volame's back really disappeared at the end of the road.

She stood at the door all day until night fell.

There was a flat rock in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, and Celie walked over and sat down.

From here you can overlook the entire mountain area, with smoke rising from the human villages in the distance.

Volame left just for them...

To create an era where everyone can learn magic, such a ridiculous idea.

Left me and did things that I thought were a waste of time and talent.

"How ridiculous..."

Celie stood up and sighed.

She walked slowly through the flowers again, her robe brushing against the stems, making a slight rustling sound.

The northern sky was crystal clear, and the sunlight shone through the thin clouds, making the petals almost transparent.

At the end of the sea of ​​flowers is a steep cliff, and in the distance the sea of ​​clouds is rolling endlessly.

Celia closed her eyes, and every moment she spent with Volame in the past seemed to come right before her eyes.

"Teacher, why do you never smile?" This was Volame's confusion when he was a child.

Celia remembered that she didn't answer at that time—

Because she thought that even if she answered, the child would not understand.

The answer is actually very simple -

For the immortals, human emotions are too short and intense.

She had to learn to distance herself from it.

Even to his disciple, Volame, he was the same.

It should be like this—

Celie looked into the distance and told herself this...

Yes, that's how it should be...

But Volame was different, different from all the humans Celia had ever met.

Her enthusiasm always easily broke through the walls built by Celia.

Not only that, she also subtly changed Celia.

"Look, does this cloud resemble the waveform of [Anti-Magic]?"

Volame would often point at mundane things and say silly things that would surprise Celie.

But maybe her perspective is just so fresh and interesting.

The corners of Celie's mouth rose unconsciously.

Volame always has these strange ideas, which she calls "Volame logic."

But this kind of stupid "logic"——

But it made Celie recall some feelings that she had gradually forgotten over the long years.

There was a moment like that.

Celie really wanted to keep Volame by her side forever.

But it's just an idea...

Because as she grew older, Volame spent less and less time with her.

She has her own journeys and adventures, her own friends and life.

Even if she was foolish enough to keep that great demon by her side as a husband—

Celiai tried her best to tell herself that this was normal and that disciples should always be independent.

But when I'm alone—

She would always look towards the mountain road unconsciously, expecting that familiar figure to appear.

The last time I saw Volame was here—

Etovis Mountains

That wasn't far away, it happened almost just a moment ago.

The Volame who came to him that day was already a mature and great magician.

She came to Celie with the magic principles she had discovered and tried her best to show her.

"Teacher, how is it?"

There was a mixture of exhaustion and pride in Volame's voice.

Celia examined the new principle that belonged to the human magic system.

While I was surprised that my disciple's talent had surpassed my own, I also found some flaws in it.

She wanted to point out a few areas for improvement directly -

But when he looked up, he noticed the fine lines at the corners of Volame's eyes and the few strands of silver in her hair.

Time passes so quickly for humans.

She realized it again.

"very good."

In the end, Celie only said these two words.

That was also the last words between them.

The evening breeze brought the fragrance of flowers, and Celie closed her eyes again.

When did her disciples leave?

Maybe the answer to this question doesn't matter at all.

The disciples used her as a stepping stone to go further.

As a teacher, she should be happy for Volame.

Because that was her disciple.

It was Volame who she personally cultivated...

Whoosh——

An imperceptible breeze interrupted Celie's wandering thoughts.

Before she knew it, a petal cast with tracking magic fell into her palm.

This is the communication magic that Celia once gave to Volame.

So she naturally knew how to interpret the information.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the news brought by the petals——

A long-lost smile appeared on Celie's indifferent face.

"What a... stupid disciple..."

The most powerful magician in history sighed like this—
