Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 101 I really did shock you, Simmel

Fifty-nine years before the Xin Dynasty, the first year of the brave warriors' journey.

The sixth day after setting out to find Seria, and the second day after Simmel and the others visited—

After speaking with Agushid yesterday,

With Frilian's guidance, we spent an afternoon familiarizing ourselves with the area around the castle.

Then they each chose their own guest rooms according to their needs.

Finally, after enjoying Agushid's cooking for dinner and having a brief chat with the Southern Hero—

The group of brave adventurers, having had the most comfortable sleep of their journey so far, slowly opened their eyes as the new day began.

Then they enjoyed their last day of rest on the body of the Celestial Dragon.

That's right, "The Hero's Journey"—

Even Frilian herself was among those trained.

The youngest, most foolish daughter was once again included in her father's teaching list.

Frillie didn't complain or have any opinions about this at first.

After all, given the speed of the Heavenly Vein Dragon, they simply couldn't stay here for more than a few days.

Until after a morning of rest—

Standing in the flower-filled courtyard admiring the flowers, she clearly sensed that the Heavenly Dragon was slowing down.

Magic Little Deng realized something was wrong.

After a simple measurement, Frillie discovered—

At this snail's pace, it will take the Celestial Dragon at least a month to reach the "Land of Swords".

That is to say...

Agushid plans to keep them here for a month of training!
Needless to say, Frilian, who was the first to discover this, immediately protested to her father.

But as expected.

Under the complex gaze of the Southern Hero, her protest was rejected as always.

Out of personal selfishness—

They wanted their foolish disciple to live a few more days.
I also want my youngest daughter to keep me company.

Argusid, who also wanted to take this opportunity to torture the blue-haired girl, calmly threw her out of the room.

However, it would be inaccurate to say that her protest was completely ineffective.

Because Agushid's original plan was to start this afternoon.
But after Frilian made this gesture—

The old father, who had clearly misunderstood something, changed his mind after glancing at the blue-haired man through the window.

He waved his hand, granting the heroes and their companions another afternoon off.

Then he turned around and started modifying the training plan for a specific person.

Simmel, unaware of the situation, stated—

"I didn't expect my future father-in-law to be such a nice person..."

"I imagine his teaching style must be very understanding."

-

In the afternoon, I accompanied Frillie on a leisurely stroll around.

I had just passed by the Lake of the Heart when Agusid called me aside to his study...

That's exactly what Simmel thought.

-

Click——

After two polite, light knocks, the study door was slowly pushed open by Simmel.

The classically styled yet contemporary study was reflected in his eyes.

However, surprisingly...

The main seat in the study was completely empty.

Argusid used [Sound Transmission Magic] to summon Simmel to his study...

Unexpectedly, he arrived even later than her future son-in-law, whom she was filled with anxiety.

"What has delayed Mr. Agushid?"

Filled with questions, Simmel sat awkwardly in the guest seat opposite the desk.

He glanced at the time on the clock, then turned back and waited patiently for Agushid to arrive.

Agushid's movements were indeed a bit slow.

Simmel sat there anxiously for half an hour without seeing him.

But the blue-haired hero did not experience any negative emotions as a result.

He simply sat at his desk without saying a word, waiting quietly.

There weren't many magic books on the desk, and there weren't many obstacles in front of Simmel.

So even though he didn't deliberately scan the area, he was sitting at his desk...

In the end, I inevitably saw the old notebook lying across from me.

The old but neat sheets of paper lay open there without any attempt to conceal them.

An adventure log, written in two completely different handwritings, sits on the desk.

However, because it was played upside down, and Simmel did not observe it intentionally.

So, after only a cursory glance, he only caught a few fragmented words—

The Hanging Gardens, the Upside-Down Pyramids, the Scattered Royal Tombs, the Tower of a Thousand Mirrors...

Simmel knew both of those last two names.

These two legendary mazes are among the most famous and difficult in the world.

Therefore, as an adventurer and hero, it's hard not to know about this.

However, the first two names...

Simmel stroked her chin and thought seriously for a while.

Ok……

I've never heard of any related terms before, whether it's dungeons or labyrinths...

Click——

The sudden sound of the door being pushed open without warning interrupted Simmel's thoughts.

Turning his head slightly, under his gaze, Agushid slowly stepped into the study.

He held an old parchment loosely in his hand and calmly sat down in his seat.

"Awaited……"

"Because some things had been stored for so long, it took me quite a while to find it—"

Faced with his future father-in-law's overly distant politeness...

Simmel chose to respond with politeness and a smile.

"I just arrived, only a few minutes ago, it's hardly a long wait."

glib tongue...

Despite the immense experience of the most powerful demon race over a thousand years, the blue-haired hero's sweet words had no effect.

Agushid simply shook his head slightly before getting to the point.

He placed the old parchment in front of Simmel and explained why he had been summoned there.

Do you have any personal plans for your training over the next month?

"If you have any ideas, then write them down according to your thoughts."

"Afterwards, I will refer to your plans to develop a training plan for you."

What are your thoughts on the training plan?
Write it down... and formulate it based on my needs?
For a moment, Simmel even thought he had misheard.

This...this isn't right—

Is it a bit too much to ask me to do this all by myself?

Looking at the paper and pen laid out in front of him, Simmel felt unsure of what to do with his hands.

Although Agusid's meaning was already simple and clear enough.

But Simmel still looked up and confirmed Agushid's gaze.

This is not a joke...

Mr. Agusid was indeed serious...

"Don't worry about anything, just follow your own ideas—" "Write down your plan for the next month of training."

Agusid's whisper once again prompted Simmel to finally pick up the pen and paper without hesitation.

He lowered his head and began to think under the gaze of his future father-in-law.

"Mr. Agusid only called me in for questioning alone, there can't be such a simple reason..."

"and many more……"

"I understand—"

“Mr. Agushid did this to test me.”

“Refer to my plan…”

"Isn't this just a test to see if I'm trustworthy enough to entrust with anything?!"

Simmel, feeling that she had understood everything, was breathing rapidly.

He suppressed a smile, believing he had grasped the deeper meaning behind it.

Raising his pen, Simmel resolutely wrote down what he considered the most perfect answer.

[Wake up between 4:00 and 6:00 for a long run to train and maintain speed and endurance]

[6:00 AM - 12:00 PM Sword Practice]

[12:00-18:00 Strengthen the five senses, train reaction speed, and practice how to deal with various unexpected situations in advance.]

[18:00-24:00 Practical training, accumulating experience and improving swordsmanship in combat]

Although I felt a little unsatisfied, I didn't want to seem too outrageous.

Or this might leave a bad impression on Agushid.

Filled with guilt and inner turmoil, Simmel added a period of rest to her schedule at the end.

[24:00-4:00 Evening rest and reflection on the day's gains and losses]

Flawless

Whether in terms of word choice or the presentation of my persona, I did it flawlessly.

what?
Why is there no mealtime?
What is the gibberish saying?

Even if I didn't write it, would Mr. Agushid not have considered this point?

Dreaming of marrying a white-haired elf and reaching the pinnacle of heroism...

Simmel, with an uncontrollable upturn of his lips, handed the parchment back to Agushid.

Ok?
What he wrote... was really a bit beyond my expectations...

Is he usually this self-disciplined and brave?

Agushid glanced at the text on it.

Then he couldn't help but look up and glance at Simmel, who was still grinning foolishly, with a rather solemn expression.

The standards were twice as high as I had expected, and they barely left me any time to eat or rest.

"How would you put it in my past life..."

"Is this child truly terrifying?"

Agusid chuckled at Simmel, then asked another question concerning his future.

"I have quite a few sword techniques and hand-to-hand combat skills here that suit the needs of a warrior like you—"

"I'll give you a detailed list, and after you listen, you can decide which ones you want to learn."

-

Five minutes later, in the study echoing with the bold declaration, "I want it all!"—

Agushid looked at the empty seats opposite him.

His indifferent gaze held a rare hint of appreciation and anticipation.

He brandished the magical artifact in his hand, which was originally envisioned by Vlame to be tailor-made for Frillie—

Agushid watched as the text on it disappeared line by line.

The color gradually changed from a dull yellow to a dark green, and then from dark green to deep red.

When the parchment turns deep red, the writing has completely disappeared.

But its color did not stop changing.

It was as if he was recalling the last conversation between Agushid and Simmel.

The crimson was instantly swallowed up by the endless darkness.

Then it slowly dissipated in Agushid's hands, like burning debris.

It just drifted towards...

The direction in which Simmel departed.

"【Equal Contract】, 'The Magic of Equivalent Exchange'—"

"I contributed my knowledge and experience, and you contributed your own efforts and sweat..."

"It's a fair deal, isn't it?"

Watching the last vestiges of darkness slowly slip away from his hands.

Agushid whispered with anticipation in his eyes.

-

Fifty-nine years before the Xin Dynasty, the first year of the brave warriors' journey.

The seventh day of the search for Celia.

The first day of Agusid's training of the heroes—

The sky was dark and the moon still hung high in the sky.

Simmel, fast asleep in a dream of marrying Frilian, stands in the groom's seat—

Suddenly, a dark, twisted, and eerie string of characters slowly appeared before my eyes.

[Magical Tool - Equality Contract Now in Effect]

[Agusid, the Contractor, reminds you]

[You are currently at the time you planned for your long run.]

Please proceed to the corresponding training according to the contract and terms you signed.

Otherwise, you will be punished by the magic unleashed by the Lightning of Annihilation.

Simmel: "?"

What strange nightmare did I have again?

Is this thing in the same style as me?

And it just so happens to appear at this time...

It's because I myself can't believe there will be a future and an ending where we fall in love—

Is that why this interlude in my dream interrupted my reverie?

Looking at the white-haired elf standing in front of her, dressed in a wedding gown.

In her dream, Simmel gave a melancholic, bitter laugh.

Then, in reality, he gently turned over in bed.

[The Equal Contract serves as a reminder to you once again—]

[Breach of trust leads to tears from loved ones]

Please begin training immediately according to the plan.

【…】

Three, two, one

[The Lightning of Annihilation unleashes its magic, at one percent power—]

【release】

Except for Frilian, Haita, and Aize, who are fast asleep.

The rest—

Whether it was Agushid sitting in his study,

Or is it the brave warrior from the south who is jogging in the morning?

And the violin-playing lady who got up early to find food—

At the same time, they all heard that scream that echoed through the clouds amidst the thunder.

"What is this?! Aa ...
