You call this magic?

The two girls immediately became interested. Magic that even Fulilian doesn't know?

Fulilian is the most knowledgeable magician they know, except for Celia. Ethan actually dared to say that, so this magic must be amazing. Their curiosity has been aroused to the highest point.

Seeing that the two girls' eyes had begun to shine, Ethan asked again, "How about it, do you want to learn?"

Nodding wildly.

It's not just the new magic that's attractive to them, but more importantly, they want to learn it and show off in front of Fulilian.

If they could see Fulilian's surprised expression, they would even eat a big extra bowl of rice.

"Okay, then watch carefully." Ethan picked up his small magic wand and drew a graceful arc in the air like a conductor. As the magic light flashed, he chanted a spell: "[Restore as before]."

At this moment, except for the three people present, all the damaged objects in the room, everything on the walls, floors, and ceilings seemed to be undergoing an abnormal time reversal. The broken tiles, fallen lampposts, etc. were restored to their original state in a short time.

The Repair Spell was considered a miracle-level magic in Ethan's opinion, but its use did not have any harsh conditions, just like the [Tops's Force Field].

The only problem might be that, apart from [Transfer of Magic], he couldn't teach his imitated magic to others in any other way.

So he was very grateful to Celie.

At this time, Philen and Yubel were stunned on the spot, completely speechless for a long time.

……

"What happened to these two kids?"

When they gathered in the hotel lobby for dinner, Fulilian tilted her head, looked at the two quasi-fifth-level magicians in confusion, and asked her questions.

At this time, Philen and Yubel were just holding their bowls and eating blankly. Philen's eyes were not even focused. He stuffed food into his mouth while his mind was wandering. Yubel lowered his head to eat, and was extremely quiet as if he was bullied.

"Master, please tell me what's going on with Solitier first." Ethan looked at Solitier, who was lying on the chair next to him with a burnt-out expression, with the same confusion. This was the first time he saw Solitier like this.

"I don't know." Fulilian shook her head, her eyes calm and sincere. Yes, it was her usual master, but it seemed that she really didn't know about this.

"No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand..." At this time, Solitaire suddenly sat up straight as if she was stressed, looked at Fulilian, said this blankly, and then fell down again, unable to get up again.

"..."

"...Master, how many places have you taken her to?"

"Well, not much."

Fulilian looked away, a frown on her face, her voice gradually lowering. "I just browsed half of the magic shops in the Holy City."

"6."

Don’t you have any idea how big the Holy City is?

Anyway, after dinner, Ethan, who had been planning to organize some entertainment activities, simply announced the dismissal of all members and asked everyone to return to their rooms. Except for Fulilian and Ethan, everyone was probably exhausted today, so they decided to talk about the future after a night's rest.

The room arrangement for tonight is just as Philen said this morning. Philen and Fulilian share one room, Ethan has a room to himself, and Solitude and Yubel share one room. It seems reasonable at the moment. There is a high probability that Philen and Yubel will fight each other, and Fulilian can't help but want to deal with Solitude. It is better for everyone to separate them.

However, as mentioned before, Ethan and Fulilian still stayed in the hall. They didn't drink any alcohol, but just ordered two drinks in the corner and released a soundproof barrier.

"What are your plans for the future?" Fulilian asked.

"?" Ethan looked surprised. "Aren't we going to 'Heaven'?"

"Not yet." Fulilian's eyelashes drooped. "You know, Haita's health is almost failing."

Ethan then remembered that according to the initial information he obtained, Frillian and the others lived with Haita.

"Has that old man Haita finally come to this?" Ethan recalled the time when he met Haita before. He looked quite strong at that time. How come it hasn't been a few years yet?

"So, I'll just stay with him during his final years." Fulilian's smile was tinged with even a hint of sadness. "Otherwise, when he gets to 'heaven', he might join Xin Meier in scolding me."

"Master, after a few years, I feel that your mood swings are much greater than before."

"Perhaps, although I haven't noticed it myself." Fulilian looked at Ethan. "In that case, what Haita said is right. I have indeed been changed, both by them and by you."

"Okay, that's enough of this topic." Fulilian knocked on the table. "It's time to fulfill your promise. Where's the otherworldly magic you promised me? Let me see it."

"...Magic, huh? I get it."

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 19: Haita's Death

That night, Fulilian tossed and turned all night and didn't let Ethan sleep.

But Ethan was unable to produce several magic books, because Fulilian's approach to learning magic emphasized a research mentality.

People like Philen and Yubel, they just used the magic and never considered how to study how the magic was formed.

It was different for Fulilian. When Ethan gave her the magic book of [Dark Magic], she started to retreat as soon as she learned it.

Exactly the same as the previous Celia.

But Celie's reaction at that time was much more exaggerated than Frelian's. The magic system she had never seen before made her feel the joy of exploration for the first time in a long time.

[Shadowless Divine Sharpness] is still Celie's favorite combat magic, but compared to the power of this magic, she values ​​the theory more.

The reason why it is called the "living magic book" is that Celie has learned almost all the magic on the entire continent over a long period of time. This would be impossible if she was not interested in magic.

If studying magic wasn't so time-consuming, Ethan might not even leave the association and would have stayed with Celie to study magic.

Now looking at Fulilian who was working day and night, Ethan thought to himself that you two are really the same.

However, looking at it this way, I may have to stay in the Holy City for the next few years.

Later, when he saw Haita again, Ethan realized that he was indeed old.

Haita has a sense of responsibility on the battlefield. As a monk of the brave team, he has the obligation and willingness to lead the young monks forward. His existence itself is a dazzling beacon.

But now, he is retired.

No longer needing to shoulder responsibilities, his tense nerves relaxed, and the pressure and injuries he had accumulated came flooding back. However, he was a monk dedicated to healing, and he managed to hold on in the end. However, once he relaxed his nerves, the speed of aging would gradually accelerate.

However, he was still as talkative as ever, and didn't even show any symptoms of Alzheimer's. As the only male compatriot, Ethan would accompany Haita for a walk in the Holy City when he had free time.

They talked a lot, from the past to the present of the Brave Team, but Ethan always felt that Haita seemed to be hiding something.

What happened in the past of the Brave Squad?

Fortunately, judging from Haita's smile, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Just hide it. Ethan doesn't have to know. To be honest, it doesn't seem to be Ethan's business.

However, since Ethan and Solitaire joined, the original two rooms in Haita's house were obviously not enough, so Ethan asked his substitute to spend some time building a wooden house next to Haita's small, shabby house. The shape of the house perfectly matched the stereotype of Ethan, a former Muggle, about where magicians live.

Then the girls all moved in, and Ethan and Hatta still lived in Hatta's cabin.

After all, the elderly need care, and Ethan's substitute magic is the most suitable.

With the addition of Solitaire, Furlin and Ethan were liberated, because from that moment on, the magic teaching work of Yubel and Philen was delegated to Solitaire. Ethan was worried that Solitaire would be unwilling, but in fact she seemed to enjoy it.

Later, Ethan found out that if she was idle, Fulilian would start to target her, such as capturing her to carry out adventurer commissions that lasted for as short as two or three days or as long as half a month.

If you were to ask what Flillian saw in Solitaire, it would only be her memory and her knowledge that complemented Flillian's.

Ethan benefited from the magic of substitute, and thus lived a life of running back and forth between the association and home. Celia was very interested in the magic that Ethan mastered, and often called him over to sit in the association for a whole day. It was not a bother, after all, he was paid, and Celia did not avoid other people when she called him, which led to Ethan's status in the association rising. Although Celia never said anything, even a first-level magician would give Ethan a certain courtesy.

Likewise, the association's library was open to Ethan without restrictions, allowing him to absorb the knowledge almost greedily and often discuss it with the girls at home.

Everyone was rapidly becoming stronger, especially Yubel and Philen, whose growth rate was so fast that even Fulilian found it a little outrageous.

But Ethan thought it was normal. After all, his growth rate was even faster than this before, and he was just entering a period of steady development.

When life becomes calm, time passes faster without you noticing.

Haita gradually became weaker. He stopped drinking and became unwilling to move. Finally, he was unable to even get up. He just lay quietly in bed, looking at the sky outside the window.

He knew his time was almost up, so he met with Ethan alone.

"Old man, if you have any wishes, please tell me all of them at once. When I see you in heaven, I will definitely fulfill them all for you."

Ethan sat by the bed, looked at the old man on the bed, and said calmly.

Haita said nothing, but pressed an old-looking letter into Ethan's hand.

There was a seal on the envelope, and Ethan recognized it at a glance. It was some kind of trigger seal that would only open when certain conditions were met. It should have been secretly done by the association commissioned by Haita.

Although Ethan has the ability to crack it by force, he decides to respect Haita's wishes, keep it, and wait for the day when the letter will be automatically triggered.

The next day, Haita's life finally came to an end.

Naturally, they didn't need to worry about the funeral, as the church presided over all the procedures. On that day, Ethan also witnessed the appeal of the brave team. Regardless of age, wealth, or even good or evil, people gathered and lined the roadsides to bid farewell to Haita's coffin.

They also remembered Haita's help to the southern countries.

Fulilian hardly said a word and silently participated in the entire funeral until the final burial.

According to his will, he was buried in the cemetery of the Holy City, an ordinary location. But even after three days, there were still endless streams of people coming to pay their respects. Judging from their clothes, these people should all be from the southern countries.

"Now I understand a little bit why you all believe so firmly in the existence of 'Heaven,'" Fulilian whispered. "If you don't try to believe in it, ordinary people might find it difficult to endure a separation like this. But if you knew that they continue to live in a 'Heaven,' free from illness and disaster after death, you would feel much more at ease."

Although she didn't cry, her depressed mood was visible to the naked eye.

"Actually, I simply believe in its existence, not that I'm looking for a spiritual sustenance." Ethan came to Fulilian's side and stood side by side with her. "You have to believe what Flame said, right?"

Whether it is his own reincarnation experience or the existence of [Soul Transfer Magic], they all point to the real existence of the soul, so the existence of heaven is not surprising.

"Maybe." Fulilian did not comment. After all, Flame had also had the experience of talking nonsense and deceiving her.

"But what I want to know more is, after you reached the Demon King's Castle, did you ever go for a walk around?"

Heaven is where the Demon King's Castle is now.

"Yes, why?" Fulilian seemed to be lost in reminiscence. After a long moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Volume 3: The Fall of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 20: The Instantaneous Killing of the Corrupted Sage

Philen floated in the air with her eyes closed. If you turned on the magic detection at this time, you could see that the magic power in her body was accumulating in large quantities and gradually concentrating at the front end of the magic wand.

On the edge of the cliff, dozens of meters below her, there was a tall petrified statue of a demon, several times the height of a human, half-squatting on the ground, looking lifelike.

This statue is very famous. It depicts the legendary corrupt sage Guval, a great demon who was sealed by Fulilian more than eighty years ago. At that time, he was already one of the best magicians, and the [Murderous Magic] was also created by him.

Fulilian even directly admitted that the brave team at that time was completely unable to defeat it.

This is a bit outrageous.

Even asking Solitaire, the result was that Solitaire eighty years ago could not defeat Guwal.

But she also said that if Guwal had been in a sealed state of time suspension for the past eighty years, he would be killed in seconds if he came out.

Both the demons and humans have become much stronger.

This made Ethan feel at ease and decided to let Philen experiment with magic.

There is no human habitation within a radius of several hundred meters, making it an ideal place to experiment with magic.

"Flashy." A few hundred meters away, Fulilian gave her evaluation with an expressionless face.

"How can you call it fancy? I think this is the ultimate magic that's most suitable for Felix." Ethan, whose face looked exactly the same as it did many years ago, expressed strong indignation at Flillian's comments. "Ordinary offensive magic doesn't have such a large range and power!"

"Fei Lun is good at mana manipulation, but her mana power is no match for the demons. That spell can deplete her mana in one shot, making it meaningless in actual combat."

"So, normally there won't be a chance to use it. Look, there's still some time left to charge. Also, why is this pointless? What if that little bit of attack power is all that's missing?"

Not far behind Ethan and Fulilian, Yubel was lying under a tree trunk, shielding her face from the sunlight with a fan, and seemed to be taking a nap.

"It's started again." Solitiel poked her head out from behind the tree trunk. "Yubel, why do you think they're arguing over such a trivial matter?"

"I don't know." Yubel answered lazily, her chest shaking slightly with the rise and fall. Now that she was an adult, her body size was almost the same as Philen, who was a few years younger than her.

Well, she said that the difference was almost the same. According to Ethan's more objective observation, she was at least two cup sizes smaller than Philon.

As immortals, Solitaire and Furlin's bodies had basically no changes, so certain parts of their bodies were severely beaten by Yubel and Philen.

Originally, Ethan thought that Frillian had no interest in this kind of body shape topic, until he accidentally saw Frillian glance at Philen's chest, then glance at Yubel's chest, and finally look down at her own chest. Although there was no expression or words, everything was self-evident, which also caused Frillian to be in a bad mood that day.

It wasn't until Ethan sent Solitaire to comfort her that Fulilian's mood improved.

As for why it gets better, don't ask.

As she grew up, Yubel's magic became simpler and simpler. She would not use [Magic that Cuts Off Everything] as her ultimate move easily, so when she needed to use "cutting", she used another magic taught by Ethan, namely [Divine Edge and Shadowless]. In Yubel's view, this thing is a weakened version of [Magic that Cuts Off Everything], which is perfect for daily use. In addition, she has also learned a lot of magic in the same system. If she were thrown into Hogwarts now, she would also be a very powerful black witch.

It was different for Philen. She learned another system, just as Ethan had thought when he first accepted her as his apprentice, to make her a magician who completely ruled the sky.

It's just that at that time, Ethan had not yet figured out this system, but now it has been formed. He gradually taught it to her on their journey to the north.

"She's almost finished charging her energy, ready to release the seal."

Ethan's stand-in was now standing in front of the statue.

The magic of lifting the seal was nothing to Ethan now. Soon, Guval's petrification was lifted. At the same time, Ethan also lifted the appearance of his stand and dissipated into the air.
