I raise elves in Florian

"You're a monk, aren't you!"

Simmel looked at Haita helplessly.

"Hahahahaha!"

The conversation between Haita and Simmel successfully made everyone laugh.

"That's not wrong."

Frilian thought that what Simmel and the others said was all right. The Demon King was dead, and the days ahead would return to peace. They all had their own things to do.

"Frilian, your life ahead will surely be longer than we can imagine!"

Simmel looked at Frilian, burying the words she had prepared deep in her heart.

"Maybe!"

Frillie looked at the magic book in her hand. Although the future was long, Shi Yichen would definitely stay with her.

Hey everyone! How have you all been these past few years?

Suddenly a familiar voice rang out in the carriage, and everyone turned to look. Shi Yichen had appeared beside Frillie at some point.

"Um!!!"

Simmel and the others stared at Shi Yichen in shock, as they hadn't even noticed when he had appeared.

"I am back!"

Shi Yichen said to Frilian with a smile.

Welcome back!

Frillie looked at Shi Yichen in surprise, her eyes reddening slightly. Then she suddenly snuggled into Shi Yichen's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Hahaha! Now our group of heroes is complete."

Haita couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shi Hou coming back.

"Yes! Everyone's finally here."

Simmel was also very happy to see Shi Yichen return.

"You look different again."

Looking at the person in Shi Yichen's arms, Frilian no longer felt old; instead, he was filled with holy light.

"That's right, the holy light emanating from you makes me want to worship you. If those people in the Holy City saw you, they'd probably make you a saintess."

Haita sat beside the carriage and looked at Shi Yichen, saying that in just a few years, the holy light emanating from Shi Yichen had become even more dazzling, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a goddess in the world.

"And her appearance has never changed."

Aize added that their journey had taken ten years, and in those ten years, everyone except Frilian had grown and changed to some extent, but Shi Yichen, being human, had not changed at all, which was very suspicious.

"Well! Everyone has their own secrets. For example, I'm handsome and dashing, and I've never told anyone that secret."

Simmel jokingly changed the subject. He had probably already guessed the secret about Shi Yichen when he saw Flame's portrait.

Shi Yichen and Frilian are disciples of Flame, the founder of human magic. Flame was a figure who was active more than a thousand years ago.

This means that Shi Yichen and Frilian have lived together for a thousand years. It is indeed unbelievable that a human has lived for more than a thousand years.

Simmel didn't believe it at first, but seeing the close relationship between Shi Yichen and Frilian, Simmel became even more certain of her idea.

"Get off! We've arrived."

Simmel was the first to jump off the carriage; a group of people were already waiting for them at the city gate.

"Ah."

Haita and the others got off the carriage one by one.

Shi Yichen jumped off the carriage, then turned around and stretched out his hands to Frilian. Frilian jumped into Shi Yichen's arms, and Shi Yichen caught her steadily.

"Let's go!"

Simmel led the group into the capital.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Fireworks soared into the sky over the city.

"Lord Brave!"

"Lord Brave!"

As soon as Simmel and his companions entered the capital, the entire city erupted in a cacophony of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. Shouts filled the streets and alleys, welcoming the hero and his companions who were about to vanquish the Demon King.

A troop of soldiers led Simmel and his companions to the royal city, where they were greeted by the city's residents along the way.

Royal City.

The king sat on his throne, looking down at Simmel and the others.

"Hero Simmel, Warrior Shi Yichen, Warrior Aize, Monk Haita, Mage Frilian."

"Thank you for defeating the Demon King. This will usher in an era of peace for the world. On behalf of all humanity on this continent, I thank you."

The king stood up and bowed slightly to Simmel and his men to express his gratitude for everything they had done for the people of this continent.

…………

night.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The whole country celebrated, and huge fireworks exploded in the sky, which was exceptionally beautiful. Laughter and cheers filled the streets and alleys.

"I heard that His Majesty the King will build statues of us in the square, but I have serious doubts about whether the statues can perfectly capture my handsome appearance."

As she spoke, Simmel struck a cool pose, flicked her hair a couple of times, and then sat down.

Shi Yichen led Frilian to the table with a large pile of food.

Haita drank his wine in large gulps, while Aize picked up a piece of bread and started eating.

"What a snob! He only gave us ten copper coins when we set off. If it weren't for Shi Yichen, we don't know how hard our lives would have been."

While eating the delicious food in her hand, Frilian complained about the king's dissatisfaction. Fortunately, she had Shi Yichen by her side, and Shi Yichen had also contributed a lot of money to purchase supplies during the adventure.

"Forget it! Frillie, as long as we get free drinks, isn't that enough?"

Haita had drunk an unknown amount of alcohol; his face was already flushed, but he was still drinking.

"A monk who eats wine and meat."

Frillie looked at the nearly drunk Haita and muttered to herself in exasperation.

"Hahahahaha!"

Haita laughed heartily at this and drank another glass of wine.

…………

Celia's Palace.

"Teacher, I told you that Frilian and the others would succeed."

Flame looked at the distant sky where fireworks and firecrackers were going off everywhere, celebrating this historic moment and the upcoming era of peace on this continent.

"Yes! It's lost a lot of the fun."

Celia stood beside Flame, also looking at the distant sky. She hadn't expected that even without Shi Yichen's help, Frilian and the others could still defeat the Demon King. This was beyond her imagination.

"I didn't expect the peaceful era you spoke of would arrive so quickly."

Celia also found it hard to believe that a mere thousand years of peace had arrived. She recalled how she had previously mocked Flame for making it impossible, but she was proven wrong so quickly.

"I told you, Frilian will defeat the Demon King. She is a magician who exists in a peaceful era."

Flame believed that Frilian would fulfill what she had said a thousand years ago; her intuition was always accurate, even after a thousand years.

"So when do you plan to meet with Frilian?"

Celia looked at Flame.

"It's not the right time yet. I will meet her when the time is right."
