You call this magic?

"I'm sorry, Aura." Ethan smiled slightly, "The one in front of you is a magician with cheats."

He has such a huge amount of magic power that even Fulilian can only say "awesome". What can Aura, who is only five hundred years old, do?

At this moment, Aura realized that he had actually lost.

This was a scene it had never imagined, and at this moment, it appeared before the eyes of a large group of people.

"External, external plug-in?"

Aula had no idea what this meant. At this moment, there was only deep fear in his heart.

"Then I will give the order - 'Obey my orders, Aura'." Ethan said.

Aura's body instantly became stiff, and he collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

"No, it's impossible. How could I lose? How could I lose in a magic contest to a human who is not even an immortal!" Aura roared, but under Ethan's restraint, no matter what magic he had, he could no longer release it and could only rage helplessly.

"Now, Aura, jump down and stand in the center of the square." Ethan said expressionlessly.

Aura wanted to resist, but she found that she did not have the strong will of a human being, and was completely unable to resist the control of her own magic. She could only jump down obediently. At this time, her eyes were extremely distorted, she gritted her teeth, and looked at everyone around her with hatred.

But it can't do anything.

At this time, standing beside it were the earl, soldiers, and many people who had been liberated. They walked out of their homes and came to the perimeter of the square, staring at Aura, the Seventh Sage who had been attacking this city for twenty-eight years.

Obviously, everyone knew that from this moment on, this Seventh Sage was finished.

At this time, Ethan and Fulilian also came near Aura, and Ethan gave the next order.

"Summon all your Dullahans and line them up."

Soon, the former heroes, the knights whose heads were cut off by Aura, walked around the people, came to Aura's side, and lined up in a long line.

"You, what do you want to do?" Aura's expression began to show fear, and she shook her head desperately. "I, I can be your lover, don't kill me, I, I'm still a virgin. Oh, right, you just said you like me, right? Look at my body, it's amazing!"

“…”No, I was just saying it casually.

"The demons' pleas for mercy are the most unbelievable words in this world."

Ethan smiled and said in a grim tone: "All the knights, one sword each, until it dies."

This was an execution, an execution that the people had long awaited, and it was carried out by Aura's victims themselves.

The people shed tears and could not bear to watch any longer.

But everyone understood that this was Ethan's gift to the city, and it also marked the reduction of one of the Seven Collapsed Sages.

It took the city twenty-eight years to finally avenge this blood feud.

What could be more satisfying than a public execution?

The execution lasted until morning, and Aura's throat had long lost its strength. At this time, Ethan hooked his finger, and Solitude walked forward and swallowed the last remaining head of Aura.

Just like Solitier, let him make use of the waste.

The Seventh Collapse Sage, [Guillotine Aura], died at this point.

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 41: What Happened to Master Patting My Head?

In the lord's mansion, in the leisure courtyard.

"Ethan, let's run away." Fulilian's eyes were full of solemnity.

"Why?" Ethan was lying on a recliner at this time. There was fresh juice on the small coffee table next to him. He took a sip from time to time, flipping through the magic book in his hand, replying casually while reading.

Solitaire's posture was exactly the same as Ethan's, the only difference was that she was now in a deep sleep, sleeping soundly.

After Aura was confirmed dead, the crisis that had lasted for 28 years in the city was also declared over. More importantly, Aura also brought all the headless knights back to the city. They were all heroes who fought to the death for the city. At this moment, their families could finally take them home.

Soul, come back. Fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots.

It can be said that Ethan fulfilled two wishes that most people in this city could not even dream of before, so their gratitude was particularly strong.

At this moment, there were still many people stalking at the door of the lord's mansion, just waiting for Ethan and others to leave the mansion. With the smashing of cups as a signal, hundreds of swordsmen... no, hundreds of people holding fresh meat, vegetables, fine wine, gold, silver and treasures would rush up.

This is not just imagination, they really did it. Look, Fulilian was so scared that she came to discuss running away.

As mentioned before, she is very bad at dealing with other people's kindness.

"It was all thanks to you that we got rid of Aura this time. I didn't do anything. There's no reason for me to accept their kindness."

"How can you say I didn't do anything?" Ethan chuckled. "If it weren't for Master's teachings, I wouldn't be who I am today. If Master hadn't gone to 'Heaven', we wouldn't have come to this place, right?"

"What a twisted theory!" Fulilian sighed. "Anyway, you have to think of a solution. We can't just use the [Cooker Ash Woman] to leave safely."

"Hmm... I was indeed careless this time." Ethan hadn't completely given this question a second thought. "It doesn't matter. Master, you're the type who can stay at home anyway. Just stay a few more days and wait for their enthusiasm to dissipate."

If Ethan had killed Aura outside the city, or even if there hadn't been the subsequent execution, things would never have developed into what they are now.

The demon that controlled countless people with terrifying obedience magic finally fell into the hands of its own magic, and was finally killed one by one by the heroes it had harmed. Is there anything more satisfying than this?

Even those who died will surely be able to rest in peace because of this.

The problem was that Ethan didn't think too much about it at the beginning. His purpose was just to vent the anger of Furlin, who hated the demon race. Letting Aura die in humiliation was the gift he gave to his master. He never thought that so many people would vent their anger for many years because of this.

It is true that good things are done with good intentions, and there is no need to talk about it everywhere.

"Okay." Fulilian smiled helplessly, stretched out her little hand, and gently stroked Ethan's head.

"...What?" Ethan was not used to being patted on the head, but this was his master who was many years older than him, so he couldn't say anything.

"Nothing, what's wrong with a pat on the head, Master?" Fulilian just smiled and ruffled his hair a few more times. "Next, I'm going to study magic. If you have nothing to do, don't bother me."

"I won't bother you!"

After Fulilian left, Ethan returned to his own rhythm and continued reading this very interesting magic book.

It feels really fresh to be touched on the head by Fulilian... and it's pretty good.

"Meow..." Soon after, Sollitir finally woke up. She stared at the sky with sleepy eyes, and after a moment's pause, she sat up. "Master, good morning."

"It's afternoon now, Solitaire." Ethan didn't even look up. "Have you finished digesting it?"

"Hmm~" Solitaire changed her position and lay down, her face showing a comfortable expression. "Aura obviously knows a lot of magic, but for some reason, he only wants to use obedience magic."

"When a magic is useful enough and powerful enough, any number of magic spells are just fancy words. If you can dominate everyone with just one trick, it's okay to only know one magic." Ethan shrugged. Unfortunately, he was not the type of person who could dominate everyone with just one trick. His style of play was to use different restraining magic to target different opponents.

Of course, the premise is that he may not be able to beat the opponent.

"But I ended up getting humiliated by my master."

"That's a matter of perspective. This kind of obedience magic must be used only after confirming the true strength of both parties." Ethan sighed, "If her fighting method is ordinary magic confrontation... Of course, she would still die if she met me, but at least it wouldn't be as easy as it is now."

"Indeed." Solitaire agreed.

"By the way," Ethan suddenly said, "Can you extract their memories individually?"

"Yes, but it requires a being identical to me." Solitaire held out her hand. "The Jade Fetus. As long as this thing exists, I can recreate the demons I devoured. However, their form of existence will be similar to mine."

"There's no rush." ​​Ethan hasn't found any other tools to build the magic net yet. It's better to do it later since the goal is clear.

Afterwards, they spent a relatively peaceful period of time. Only after the people had finally cooled down from their enthusiasm did they leave the lord's mansion... but they were too hasty, and the enthusiasm hadn't cooled down at all!

This incident taught Ethan what it meant to be unable to escape. Surrounded by the people, Ethan and his two companions finally accepted everyone's kindness and were treated well.

The lively atmosphere lasted for three days and three nights, and the Earl laughed heartily. Even the soldiers who had always followed the Earl said that they had never seen the Earl so happy.

When they were finally ready to leave, Ethan's backpack was already stuffed with enough food for them to eat for a month. For this purpose, Fulilian even used food preservation magic.

"Ethan, are you going to continue heading north?" the Earl asked at the city gate.

"Well, I guess we have to go to the northernmost part." Ethan thought about it and nodded.

"Then be careful when you reach the northern plateau," the earl said. "The situation is dire right now. You need to be accompanied by a first-level magician to enter the northern plateau."

"First-level magician..." Ethan glanced at Fulilian, who tilted her head. "Is there such a rule?"

"If you haven't yet obtained the qualification to become a first-level magician, the northern magic city also holds a first-level magician examination. You can obtain the qualification there and then go to the northern plateau."

"Are you so confident in us?"

"Of course." The Earl also smiled. "If none of you can qualify as a first-level magician, then no one in this world is qualified to become one. This is what I sincerely say."

Volume 3: The Fall of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 42: Still Want to Collect Money Without Working? No Way!

"I can't hold it in any longer." Philen put down the magic book in his hand.

Since two days ago, the reading progress of this book has remained at around 10%, with basically no progress at all.

"Oh, you finally can't help it?" Yu Beier stretched out her finger and pushed the book that was lying on her face away, revealing a pair of eyes with a strange smile. "It's been three hours, and you finally want to go to the bathroom. Very good, sister will be waiting at the bathroom door when the time comes, you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not a cowardly little sister who runs to knock on my sister's door in the middle of the night because she can't go to the bathroom." Feilun glared at Yu Beier expressionlessly, "Stop it, I don't believe you don't want to chase after her."

"That's not necessary." Yubel lay back in the chair. "Anyway, once the boss and the others leave for Oishaster, we can just follow them."

"That makes sense, but will Ethan and the others really take the exam?" Philen puffed up her cheeks.

"Firen, to enter the Northern Plateau you must be a first-level magician." Yubel laughed. "You were the one who told me this, but you forgot it yourself?"

"..." Philen picked up the book and hit Yubel twice with a force that looked fierce but was actually completely powerless. This time his cheeks puffed up even more. "Of course I know, I was just testing you!"

"You better be."

At this moment, a staff member suddenly approached the two of them and said, "I'm sorry to bother you two, Lady Celie is kind."

"!"

They both stood up at the same time and walked out the door without saying a word.

This summons came at the perfect time, as it meant that the previous request had been fulfilled.

Celia's office.

"You two are really causing trouble for me." Celie stared at the two promising girls in front of her, her eyes filled with speechlessness.

Although, no matter which one, they are all powerful magicians recognized by her.

In Celie's eyes, talented magicians usually take two paths.

The first type is those who seek power from her. Such magicians can usually become her favorite subordinates and the backbone of the Continental Magic Association.

The second type is to ask her for magic that has nothing to do with combat. Such magicians usually achieve achievements beyond Celie's imagination.

The two people in front of us are obviously the latter.

[Privilege] This thing is usually given to magicians when they become a first-level magician, but there are exceptions. After all, it all depends on Celie's mood.

After personally interacting with Philen and Yubel, Celie was certain that the two of them would have no obstacles on the road to becoming first-level magicians. She could not imagine the possibility that the two of them would be eliminated in the first-level magician assessment.

Especially Yubel, every time she met her, Celie would feel like a thorn in her back.

She simulates the imagination of fighting with the opponent in her mind all the time. This is Yu Beier.

As for Philen, he surprised Celia even more because he was a perfect genius.

If a magician deliberately controls magic power, it will cause the magic power to shake. Under natural circumstances, living things cannot eliminate such shaking. Any magician with magic detection ability can easily see such shaking.

Fulilian was able to basically eliminate shaking because she had practiced the technique of hiding her magic power for an extremely long time.

As mentioned before, living things cannot eliminate such shaking, so even someone with Fulilian's skill level can still be seen through. Usually, such people have terrifyingly high talents.

However, Philen saw the shaking of Celia's magic. What does this mean?

First of all, Celie also learned the technique to suppress magic power, but the magic power after suppression still reached the level before Fulilian hid.

Secondly, Philen is a unique genius. Being a first-level magician is not the end, but just the beginning for her. Celie feels this way.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Celia." Fieren lowered his head. "I wonder why you're looking for us?"

"Stop pretending! You're all as eager as if dinner is opening in the magic school cafeteria." Celie made a harmless joke. "Of course it's done, but you're really unfortunate to have let that man learn such magic."

"...You, why do you know that?"

"Need I say more? Who else besides that bastard Ethan could have caused you two to react like this?" Speaking of Ethan, Celie was furious. "He'd better take the exam honestly this time. It's time to reclaim the title of consultant. Still want to keep drawing a salary without doing anything? No way!"

"If you say that, Ethan will most likely not participate in the assessment." Yu Beier put her hands behind her back nonchalantly. "After all, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a jerk."

"What a guts... Never mind. If he doesn't participate, I'll just give the order. As long as he's around, the title of First-Class Magician will automatically become invalid!"

"Wow, you're starting to act like a spoiled brat. As expected of Lady Celie."

"It's just a joke. Besides, can you really imagine a future where he doesn't take the exam?" Celie raised her eyebrows.

"That kind of thing is boring if you talk about it out loud." Yu Beier also raised her eyebrows.
