I raise elves in Florian

"How... how is that possible! I was seriously analyzing Mahat's memories."

Frillie's eyes widened instantly when she saw Philon's disdainful expression, because she knew Philon was angry.

"Really? Look me in the eyes."

Philon didn't believe a word Frilian said; she knew Frilian very well what she was like.

"Of course...".

Frilian, of course, dared not look Philon in the eye and turned her head to the side.

"Click!"

Just as Frilian and Philon were confronting each other, Duncan walked in from outside.

"We can prepare dinner now."

Duncan went to prepare dinner while Frilian was analyzing Mahart's deepest memories.

"Ah."

The four of them walked out of the barrier manager's hut.

"By the way, Mr. Duncan, are there any other powerful demons near Golden City?"

Philon suddenly remembered the powerful magic he had sensed not long ago and wanted to ask Duncan if he knew if there were any other demons in this place.

"Why do you ask that? As far as I know, there are no other demons near Golden Land."

Although Duncan hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time, he was still very familiar with the area, and he also had Reilen helping him.

"Because I sensed a powerful magical force near the Golden City not long ago."

Philon told Duncan everything about how he had sensed magic.

"You mean a powerful magical force has been detected around the Golden City...?"

After hearing what Philon said, Duncan fell into deep thought, because he had not sensed any powerful magic around the Golden City, but Shi Yichen and Philon had both sensed it, which forced him to be on high alert.

"Yes, but the magical reaction disappeared in an instant."

Phyllen said to Duncan, "That magic appeared for a moment, and when I tried to continue sensing it, I couldn't sense anything."

"It seems to be an enemy lurking in the shadows. We should be careful. I just don't know if they're after Mahat."

Although Duncan was old, he was more shrewd than anyone else. Anyone who could rise to the position of Chief Magician of the Court had killed countless people on his hands.

"It's not impossible. There's no one else in Golden Village besides Mahat."

As Frilian ate the dinner that Shi Yichen had personally fed her, she said, "Nobody's stupid. We can guess what the other party is thinking."

"It doesn't matter anymore. By this time tomorrow, Golden City will probably have recovered."

Duncan didn't expect that the problem of Golden City could be solved so quickly. If it weren't for Shi Yichen and the others arriving, he might never have been able to see his hometown restored to its former state in his lifetime.

"So, what does Mahat plan to do?"

Frilian looked at Duncan and asked. Although this matter had nothing to do with them, Frilian was still a little curious, after all, Mahart had been Duncan's teacher.

“Although Mahat did a bad thing by turning my hometown into gold, once the golden land is removed, the people and things inside will come back to life. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Duncan has become more open-minded as he gets older. In other people's eyes, Mahat was unforgivable, but in Duncan's eyes, Mahat was like someone who did a good deed.

"That's not how you calculate it, Duncan!"

Frilian looked at Duncan speechlessly. If Mahat didn't undo his golden form, it would still be a bad thing.

"We don't want to get involved in other matters. In any case, you can handle Mahathir yourself. Whether he lives or dies is up to you."

Shi Yichen said to Duncan that she could see that Duncan had feelings for Mahart, but they couldn't stay here for too long, so it would be better to let Duncan handle it himself.

“Mahat is not so easy to control, and the mind of demons is different from that of humans. Even the control over the stone ring is ineffective.”

Duncan certainly didn't want to kill Mahart, but since Mahart was uncontrollable, he had no choice but to let Mahart die.

"If I say that, then there must be a way."

Shi Yichen shrugged and said that controlling Mahat was relatively simple for her; she just needed to tamper with the control stone ring.

"I see."

Duncan nodded. To be honest, he didn't want Mahat to die, but if it was necessary, he was capable of killing him.

Dinner ended quickly, and the next issue was accommodation, because...

"This little house doesn't even have a bed."

Shutark looked at the empty hut; apart from a table and a chair, there was nothing else inside.

"Because no manager would want to stay here for a long time, this place is not designed for long-term living."

Duncan also explained that he doesn't live here either; he has his own home here.

"There is one village nearby, and it's the only one, but it's a bit far from here."

Duncan addressed Shi Yichen and the other three.

. . . . . .

the other side.

Near the barrier.

The female demon sat quietly to the side, looking at the book in her hands, until a tall figure appeared inside the barrier.

"Long time no see, Mahat. But because of the barrier, you can't hear what I'm saying, can you? The buried Frilian has already begun to analyze your memories."

Although you probably won't be interested, that guy is one of the top mages in the human forces.

The number of spells in this world that could potentially kill you can be counted on one hand, and without a doubt, she was one of them.

The female demon looked at the book in her hand and talked to herself, completely ignoring whether Mahat could hear her.

Mahat simply stared at the female demon. She already knew her fate; if she didn't give a clear answer by this time tomorrow, her end was predictable.

Moreover, there was no time to spare; the female demon in front of it couldn't save it at all, and it only had two choices in front of it.

First, restore the Golden Land. You might live or you might die, but the chances of living are greater. However, you will definitely be controlled.

Second, even if Shi Yichen, Frilian, and the others kill it, the Golden City will still be restored.

If he could, Mahat would prefer to live, but whether he could live depended on Shi Yichen and the others.

. . . . . .

the next day.

"Duncan, do you really want to spare Mahart's life? Aren't you being too naive? You should know that Vieiser's miserable state was caused by Mahart."

Frillian looked at Duncan and asked, after thinking about it all night, Duncan still decided to spare Mahat's life, which left Frillian speechless. If it were her, she would have killed Mahat.

“I want to spend countless years of my life atoning for Vieize.”
