Frillian in the Elden Ring

If he fought back, then Volame would have a point: he was one of the top three magicians in the known world.

“I solemnly declare:”

"I won't be accepting any more disciples. On the one hand, I don't have the free time, and on the other hand, you guys can't keep up with my pace, because Volame and I usually study and improve together."

Hearing this, the red-haired girl held her head high and smiled.

Are those who want to take advantage of the title of a disciple of the Age of Gods Magician worthy enough? Not everyone can be a scientific research slave.

Fulilian looked at Volame's performance with a troubled expression. What was wrong with this child? Could anyone else find satisfaction in the heavy research tasks? Except for herself, of course.

The cordial interaction between the master and the apprentice made Wayne realize that he should not be self-indulgent and think that their relationship was good.

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds. I will help you shirk all responsibility."

"It's not good to let them get nothing in return. After all, they need the money of those nobles."

The silver-haired girl changed the subject and said, "How about this, I will hold classes in the office from time to time, but the number of students will be limited. You will be responsible for screening."

"understood."

The two looked at each other meaningfully.

She left enough room for rent-seeking so that Wayne could enrich himself. It was nothing more than giving a lecture, and she could also develop Volame's abilities in the process.

There is no need to explain this calculation between adults to the child. It is enough for her to know that she will receive a very generous bonus every time she works as an assistant teacher, which can supplement the family income.

The two sides continued to discuss some detailed procedures and finally finalized the matter.

Their topics had nothing to do with magic, and basically revolved around the association's business development. The core concept was only "making money": constantly making money to attract investment, and first developing in a broad way to expand the territory.

Of course, Volame was not interested in this part of the content, and he was busy organizing his notes and writing lesson plans.

After all, according to the agreement reached with the master, the two will teach magic knowledge to the nobles from time to time in the future.

Only she knew that Fulilian never prepared lesson plans.

Her style was always spontaneous, allowing her genius mind to run wild. Only those who had been influenced by her for many years could understand her. So when it came to teaching, she would just fill in the details herself to avoid leaving her apprentices in the dark.

The open class has come to an end.

The previous series of preparations made the North Wind Fortress Magic Association branch become a top-tier one, and magic is the best promotional signboard.

Among them, sunlight healing is known as the most powerful healing magic today.

Because after Fulilian published a special research report, people discovered that the effect not only promoted regeneration and dispelled negative states, but also purified the soul.

Now the undead enemies are no problem at all.

Not surprisingly, people flocked to it.

It was supposed to be a place for magicians to register and participate in activities together, but it also has some academic discussions and educational tasks, which subtly breaks the traditional system centered on magicians leading apprentices.

But they enjoy it, and even if they reach the level of a magician, they want to go further and become a great magician and even leave their names in history.

It is conceivable that the association of North Wind Fortress has become a benchmark.

Fulilian discovered a way to slack off: submitting a research report counted as half a class. It also served as a teaching material, which was very convenient.

Celia, who was far away at headquarters, also showed interest and published an article on curse magic.

Although they had never met, they had already begun exchanging letters, and it was clear that she was very supportive of the association's growth. It was unexpected that a momentary interest would lead to the discovery of talent. The elves did indeed have a habit of suddenly producing some great figures.

A pleasure to work with.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, they supported each other with their actions.

In comparison, Volame is also much busier.

Especially after Fulilian issued the statement "I will only accept one apprentice", her status soared. It was obvious that this girl had an irreplaceable position, so many people took advantage of this to establish a relationship with her.

The mixed crowd gave her a lot of experience, but she was safe and sound.

During this period, Volame and some magicians carried out small commissions such as exterminating monsters, and made many friends.

There were indeed pure magicians among them who discussed knowledge together, but unfortunately the communication was not smooth, because once they communicated, she realized that her own magic system was completely different, with a lot of strange and bizarre research, which had already taken the shape of her master.

"In that case, I shouldn't just focus on how to learn magic, but also research how to make it accessible to more people, just like how my master simplified magic."

I can't say enough good things about Fulilian's teaching level.

But when it comes to the popularization of magic, she is definitely a disruptive innovation.

In this way, the master and apprentice returned to theoretical research, specializing in magic, and were too lazy to bother with the association's twists and turns.

Even if you immerse yourself for a while, you will return.

A week later.

Wayne returned to the office after many days, only to find Fulilian packing her bags. Meanwhile, Volame used magic to bring in boxes of wine, as they had agreed to treat Sister Adele.

"Your Excellency the City Lord, I leave this place to you. We need to return to the Elf Village."

"Is it so sudden?"

"I'm just returning to my job. I'm a researcher, and my apprentice hasn't grown to the point where he can handle things on his own. I can't let him become impure too soon."

The silver-haired girl's tone left no doubt. It seemed sudden, but in fact it must have been planned in advance.

Wayne nodded sincerely: "See you next time."

Chapter 137 Return to the border.

Magic City, Association Headquarters.

Compared to a few years ago when the demon war was in full swing and attacked the central part, peace has finally returned here, and even a large number of shops have emerged.

The main hall serving as the headquarters still stands majestically. Its neat style and strong magical reaction represent its identity as a magical creation. It is undoubtedly a miracle that a spectacle is built purely with magic.

The residents living here almost witnessed it being erected right on the spot where the ancient ruins were originally built.

I'm no longer surprised by this, after all, it's the residence of the ancestor of magic.

Atrium of the main hall.

A great magician bowed respectfully to Celia, who was admiring the flowers, but Celia ignored him, remaining aloof and isolated. The atmosphere seemed even more oppressive, and the terrifying column of magical smoke seemed to expand and swallow everything.

Obviously she doesn't like being disturbed when she is concentrating on one thing, but since she established the association out of her interest, she has been disturbed more and more.

"Master, there is a letter for you."

"It's not some kind of flattery or invitation, is it? Forget about that kind of thing."

"It's a reply from Lady Fulilian."

Upon hearing this, Celiai's eyebrows moved as she took the letter. A line of words appeared on it: "Thank you, Senior Celiai. I will help the association develop in my free time. See you later. Also, this is my gift—"

The small envelope contained a long string of magical runes floating in the air, mainly about healing magic, including the heavyweight:

Farewell tears.

Even the knowledgeable ancestor of magic was surprised. Escaping death when being attacked by a fatal attack was a really powerful effect, equivalent to an extra trump card.

[This is a miracle created to give the dying enough time to say goodbye]

Tears are shed for the living, they are much more needed than the dead.

What's more important is that it's simple and easy to understand. All magic, including the Tears of Farewell, has been carefully simplified in terms of techniques, making it naturally suitable for human magic. Although the effects are extraordinary, it's easy to use, and this is its greatest value.

Celie nodded. "That's a nice gift. In that case, I'll give her a return gift from ancient magic."

"Anything else about her movements?"

She asked as she wrote the magic book, her voice flowing smoothly, not even requiring much attention, as easy as breathing. Unexpectedly, she heard good news again:

Fulilian's lobbying made a large number of central nobles willing to increase their investment in the Magic Association, and in the blink of an eye, several branches were about to be established.

Moreover, the new honorary president already carries a golden signboard effect, and now there are two recognized magicians of the Age of Gods in the organization, which is of great value.

What's more, the two presidents have outstanding achievements and a strong sense of security.

It's no wonder the nobles flocked to it. After all, sharing the risk and leaving a legacy of influence on a powerful association is a great benefit. As long as they can train more magicians, it will benefit everyone.

Although some royal courts complained about this, they had no choice but to accept the status quo.

Of course, powerful countries did not want a multinational organization to control such elite magic resources, but the deterrent power and appeal of Flilian and Celie were too great, so they had to give up the competition for this part. The current war with the demons was the most important, so the powerful countries changed their strategy:

stand by.

Since opposition is not a big deal, why not give full support and arrange some of your own people? It's the same principle.

"A bunch of cunning guys."

After reading the basic report, Celie lost interest. The only thing that caught her attention was probably the youngest magician, Volame... Never mind, we'll see each other again eventually, so there's no rush.

She continued to admire the flowers, enjoying the rare quiet day.

……

After some intermittent busy work, Master and Apprentice Fulilian returned to the Elf Village, announcing that the matter regarding the association had come to a temporary end.

At the entrance of the Elf Village.

Unlike the previous days when there were guards, now they were actually clearing weeds and turning the soil.

The village chief was in charge of the command, and everyone would cast magic from time to time to speed up the efficiency. For example, they would use simple plant magic to weave a fence wall to form a simple edge, and then add defensive fortifications on the wall, which was equivalent to widening the circle.

I also joined in, carrying wood everywhere. Although he was the village chief, he was as young as other elves, with golden hair and a tall figure. He greeted people from afar.

"You guys came back pretty early, did you finish it so quickly?"

"A little thing about the Magic Association."

Fulilian pointed to the village entrance. "Are we finally going to expand?"

"Yes, some people visited human towns and found living in tree holes too inconvenient, so they planned to rebuild their houses."

“They finally realized it.”

When she was a child, quite a number of elves simply lived in tree holes and treetops. Later, thatched houses and wooden houses gradually appeared. Now there is a trend of universal housing, which gives a sense of historical evolution.

Even Fulilian felt the change, so you can imagine how long the process was.

Volame nodded in agreement: "How can we live in such a purely natural environment? The Elven Village used to be too primitive, but now it is considered normal."

"Indeed, although we elves rarely fight, our lives are not as good as yours."

The village chief said sincerely.

"Have you all been to town?"

"Yes, Fulilian, thanks to your introduction to some caravans, some people went out for a stroll and brought back a lot of new things. The outside world has changed a lot."

"That's good."

In the past, neither I nor the village chief could persuade anyone to go out and take a look.

Now they are much more active as they are influenced by their surroundings. After all, Volame often comes in and out to buy things for them. Many novel products are simply unheard of, which makes people want to see the changes in the outside world.

Of course, the activities of the Elf Village are still limited to the surrounding small villages and towns, especially avoiding the north where the demons are rampant.

The village chief took a deep breath and said, "I wonder what this change means?"

“Communication is what makes us powerful.”

"Aren't you worried that they might encounter demons outside?"

"Why are you acting like a scared mother? The elves need to be tempered, and I won't let their army get too close."

"what?"

“—That’s a promise.”

Fulilian was delighted by this change, so she made a bold statement. If anyone dared to disrupt the Elven Village's upward momentum, she would strike back, even though she disliked stirring up trouble in the real world.

After all, it was something we waited for so long. In the past, it was very difficult to get a group of stay-at-home people to move.

After a few more conversations with the village chief, she learned that powerful elves had also appeared in other places. It was obvious that the demons' plan to exterminate them had been counterattacked.

If they succeed in eradicating the Elf Village it would of course cause one of the races to go dormant.

But the fact is that the two top demons and thousands of troops suffered a crushing defeat. Who knew that Fulilian, who suddenly appeared, dealt a heavy blow. None of the main forces attacking the center survived. The 100% annihilation rate was brutal.

Regardless of the subsequent impact on humans, the Celiai among the elves began to become active and made big moves.
