I raise elves in Florian

"They are no different from when they were monsters. Strength equals nobility. They are much easier to understand than humans, since their strength is immediately apparent."

After buying their things, Flame left the market with the two little ones.

"It's through magic!"

Frilian looked at her teacher, while Shi Yichen, who was beside her, was busy eating an apple and didn't have time to speak. Seeing this, Frilian smiled, which was a rare sight for her.

Frilian still liked this junior sister very much, after all, the two shared the same hobbies, the same enemy, and the same teacher.

"Magic is to demons what status and wealth are to humans; it is, in a sense, their very dignity."

They might temporarily limit their magic for covert operations, but there's no such thing as a fool who insists on limiting their magic every day.

Just like a nobleman traveling incognito, it's completely different from abandoning one's status and wealth and falling into utter destitution, right?

Furthermore, demons do not grant dignity to those with lower magical power. The demon world is not so naive, so the more powerful a demon is, the more they will boast about their magical power.

For them, persisting in suppressing magic is of no benefit, and they would never even entertain such a thought. How pathetic!

Just as humans are bound by status and wealth, demons are bound by magic. They take pride in magic and love it more than anyone else, yet they cannot even freely control their own power.

As Flame walked, she spoke to Frilian and Shi Yichen, saying that it didn't matter if she told them these things sooner rather than later, because they would find out on their own even if she didn't tell them now.

"Frilian, thank goodness you're not a demon."

Flame looked at Frilian, because Frilian was able to limit her magic power from the beginning and for a long time.

"Yes! That's why I was able to deceive the demons."

Frillie smiled as she looked at her teacher, while Shi Yichen was, of course, carefree, munching on an apple.

“It has been three years since you began restricting magic power, and my judgment was indeed correct.”

Flame looked at her two apprentices, both of whom had perfectly controlled their magic. She was very satisfied with their performance and thought it was time to take them to see their teacher, Celia.

“Frilian, Shi Yichen, you must remember that just as demons use language to deceive humans, you must use magic to deceive demons.”

Flame said meaningfully to Frilian and Shi Yichen.

"We can go back on the way and then we can set off."

There are still some things they need to take with them when they go back. Once they have their things, they can set off.

"Yes!"

"Ok!"

The two little ones followed Flame back home.

…………

Three months later.

Inside the palace.

After a three-month journey, Flame, along with her two apprentices, arrived at their teacher Seria's palace.

During these three months, in addition to traveling, they also took the opportunity to eliminate demons and wild beasts along the way, all of which were done by Frilian and Shi Yichen.

Over the years, Shi Yichen has not neglected his swordsmanship. He is a true practitioner of both magic and martial arts. Under the tutelage of his teacher, Flame, Shi Yichen's swordsmanship has become increasingly refined. It can be said that Shi Yichen is now a qualified avant-garde.

Throughout the journey, Shi Yichen confronted the demons head-on, while Frilian attacked from behind with magic. The two worked together perfectly.

Even Flame couldn't help but praise them.

"Time flies! I never imagined that the apprentice I took on on a whim back then would have already brought his grand-apprentices with him."

Seliet, sitting on the stone chair, looked down at the three people kneeling below.

"Frilian and Shi Yichen are their names."

Flame knelt down as she introduced herself to Celia.

"An elf! So strong! I like it."

Grandmaster Celia arrived immediately. With her big ears, she was surprised to find that Celia was an elf, as she herself was an elf who had lived for a very long time.

"I never expected you to have the aura of a goddess."

When Grandmaster Celia looked at Shi Yichen, she was surprised to see that Shi Yichen possessed the aura of a goddess. Even she herself had only seen a goddess a very, very long time ago.

"Looks like you've met the goddess before!"

Grandmaster Celia looked at Shi Yichen with great certainty. She never expected that someone would actually see her now, and it seemed that she had even received the goddess's blessing.

Flame and Frilian looked at Shi Yichen in surprise, never expecting that the mystery that had been puzzling Flame was actually the work of the goddess.

Flame and Frilian had heard of the Goddess, but that was a long time ago, and no one had seen her in a long time.

They didn't even know if the goddess actually existed. What they didn't expect was that Shi Yichen had actually come into contact with the legendary goddess.

"I'd say I've had some contact with this before!"

Shi Yichen stammered as he spoke, after all, they had only met once. But Shi Yichen often prayed to the goddess, since the goddess was real.

"Interesting, I really want to keep you by my side."

Grandmaster Celia looked at Shi Yichen with a burning desire. After all, he had been in contact with the goddess, and Celia really wanted to keep Shi Yichen by her side.

"Teacher, this won't do! She's my student."

At this moment, Flame spoke to her teacher.

“I knew you wouldn’t agree. You’ll have to come here often from now on.”

Grandmaster Celia seemed to have known all along that Flame would not agree, and turned to Shi Yichen to speak.

"Ah! Okay."

Faced with his grandmaster, Shi Yichen had no choice but to agree.

“Tell me the magic you want! I can grant you the magic you desire.”

Grandmaster Celia spoke to Frilian and Shi Yichen.

"The magic you want?"

It seems that Frilian and Shi Yichen don't have the magic they want, because they haven't finished learning what their teacher, Flame, is teaching them.

"I possess the knowledge of the vast majority of magic books in history. A so-called mage is one who spends his entire life seeking the magic he desires. Speak, and I will bestow it upon you."

Grandmaster Celia looked at Frilian and Shi Yichen, who were kneeling on one knee.

"unnecessary!"

Frilian and Shi Yichen said in unison.

Hearing their answers, Grandmaster Serie smiled with satisfaction, and even their teacher Flame laughed.

"The greatest joy of magic is the process of finding it."

Frilian knelt down and spoke to Celia.

Shi Yichen wanted to gain power through her own efforts, and she wasn't aiming too high. She hadn't even finished learning from Furame yet!

"Flame, these two children will never amount to anything! They lack any burning ambition."

Grandmaster Celia only said that, but she was secretly overjoyed and very satisfied with her two grand-disciples, even though their ideas differed from her own.

So arrogant!

“Teacher, Frilian will be able to defeat the Demon King in the future. A mage like her will surely usher in an era of peace.”

This time, Flame only mentioned Frilian because Frilian is an elf with a lifespan close to infinity, but Shi Yichen is different; she is just a human, and like herself, she will have a finite lifespan and cannot live forever like Frilian.

"You mean I can't do it?"

Grandmaster Celia looked at Flame with dissatisfaction.

"You crave battle, therefore you cannot kill the Demon King."

Flame had long seen through what kind of elf her teacher was; only with the existence of the Demon King could the war continue.

Flame knew, of course, that her teacher could kill the Demon King if he wanted to, but without war, she believed her teacher would be quite bored.
