Reincarnation Band Magician

Many of the huge monsters encountered in the south before were also accustomed to eating their own kind and catching fish, and the same was true for the dark dragon in the ruins.

"How long have the people here been living with it?"

"This kind of monster, judging by the length of its horns, is probably over five years old."

“It’s been so long…”

Fulilian turned over and faced Xiangzi with her back. "People here are really kind."

"Because the deer is helping them clear the land, Fulilian," Qing recalled the land on the other side. "There's a lot of open space around the monster. The village chief also said that it used to dig up tree roots and eat them. For ordinary people, those underground debris are very difficult to clean up."

When Qing was in the forest, he also tidied up the surrounding land and tried to plant some flowers.

Cutting down a tree is simple, and this is the only simple step.

Afterwards, with Qing's weak constitution, it was quite difficult to turn over the stones, grass roots, and tree roots in the soil. Not much could be sorted out in a day. You can imagine how difficult it was to open up the land.

The land here is different from that in the north, just like the climate here. It is like a teenage girl. It takes a lot of time and energy to reap the rewards.

Fulilian blinked, "I see. Is it because of greed again?"

"It was mostly luck. I thought the deer would go somewhere else and continue eating the trees. But it wasn't the worst, so it's not bad... Fulilian just said 'again'. Did you encounter it before?"

"Well, I remember now," the elf said leisurely, "That time was what Qing called the 'worst case scenario'."

For thousands of years, except for the north, the hatred of the demons by people in different regions has never been passed down from generation to generation.

The young lady who was being searched and tortured over there is an example, and there have been other examples before.

While traveling, Fulilian heard about a strange demon who was staying in a human village, inviting passersby to stay.

He provides protection services such as expelling monsters, hunting, clearing land, and using magic to control the irrigation of plants... He can fulfill all your wishes.

Is it true?

The person who is required to live there should bring him food rich in magic power every once in a while.

That is, people.

The demons believed that humans were a magical food source, that they reproduced quickly, had a high survival rate, and would even kidnap their own kind.

He lived in that village, which was originally a bandit base, for twenty years until no one came near him and he had no choice but to eat the people there. Then he began to "recruit" new humans.

It reminded Fulilian of the "ghost" in the story.

The scary thing is that Fulilian actually saw someone in that village.

After killing the demon, she left without stopping.

"What a terrible story."

"Perhaps there are other demons like this out there somewhere, or perhaps the village has found a new 'guardian god'."

“It feels like a ghost story…”

Twenty years is probably enough time for a new generation to grow up. Imagine that when humans grow up, they discover that the "gods" protecting the village eat people every once in a while. After being unable to deceive outsiders, they are forced to start internal sacrifices, and in the end they are all eaten by the gods...

Terrible.

Xiangzi, who was very imaginative in dark stories, couldn't sleep.

Especially in this village that is prepared to coexist with monsters.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, Xiang," Qing saw Xiangzi stop talking and guessed what his teammates were thinking. "Whether it's a monster or a demon, they can all be killed."

"Yes."

Xiangzi felt relieved.

Then, Fleury asked the question:

"Is there anything that can't be killed? Come to think of it, it's mentioned in many books I've read.

"Some people also believe that there might be something called a 'soul' after death, but no one has ever seen one. There are also some that can harm humans, called evil spirits. Many cultures have spawned from this... Do you want to hear the stories about evil spirits I've collected?"

"Don't talk about this tonight, Fulilian."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Qing Momo wrapped her face with the quilt, and changed from facing the bed to lying flat on her back, not looking at the dark hole in the bed.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi, who often stays alone, rarely comes into contact with things that can scare people, because if he is scared alone, he will be the only one scared and he cannot cause trouble for his mother.

Late at night, he felt a little scared when he heard those words.

Fulilian was keenly aware of this.

"Qing, are you scared?"

"Well, I'm scared."

Because he was too frank, Fulilian couldn't say the words she had prepared to expose the truth. She was originally in the mood to play a teasing on him.

Older people seem to enjoy scaring children for fun.

Those kids who try to show off are the most fun to tease. Qing is too honest.

"Then go to sleep."

After a while, Fulilian looked down again.

In fact, she is also a little afraid. For example, she doesn't dare to look at the hole in the bed. She will also deliberately avoid these topics when she is alone. Group activities have such magic that give people illusory courage.

For the sake of the future, the elf decided not to continue.

"Qing, if you're really scared, just come to the bed. It's quite spacious here."

"Thank you, Flillian."

……

I had a nightmare and my body felt a little cold, but it warmed up in the second half.

When I opened my eyes early in the morning, Fulilian was lying beside me, and then Xiangzi.

In fact, Xiangzi was the first to come down, and then Fulilian, who was alone in bed, couldn't get used to it either.

The elf's body is usually slightly cool, but it is warm in the quilt and exudes a woody fragrance.

Then there was Xiangzi. Qing hadn't seen this girl sleeping for a long time. Her cheeks were round, and she had lost the delicateness of a doll. She looked healthy and beautiful.

In this late spring, a traveler sat there, enjoying the atmosphere.

Then the quilt leaked and they woke up from the cold.

Xiangzi said she just wanted to comfort her friend.

Fulilian said that she was not afraid, but just a little uncomfortable, and she lay in the middle because she was afraid of the cold.

"Just let it be that way."

The day gave them courage and they no longer felt afraid, but who knows at night, what they say now may turn into a boomerang.

So Qinghe Xiangzi didn't say anything and nodded gently.

Without eating in the village, they started a new day of travel.

……

“It’s a really big piece of land.”

They walked through the bumpy potholes and the turned-up soil. After a little tidying up, they could start sowing. Although the harvest would not be very good from such simple land reclamation and sowing, it would still be a lot.

We arrived at the forest ahead. Since the village chief mentioned yesterday that there were new monsters here, we decided to take care of them together.

Qing liked the magic of removing water stains very much and decided to do some extra work.

"..."

I saw several of the same monsters as yesterday.

They are just much smaller and look like they were born not long ago. They look very similar to sheep and do not pose any threat. No wonder people did not kill them at first.

Just as the village chief said, these monsters easily gnawed through the tree trunks like humans eating bread, and then moved on to the next one.

Nothing much to say, monsters, fight.

Qing went forward to test his ability.

Fulilian and Xiangzi stood there and chatted about this topic idly.

"Another monster of this kind! It'll be troublesome if it grows up. The villagers still have to go to the Adventurer's Association to ask for it to be handled."

"Hmm... I don't think so, Fulilian."

Xiangzi raised an objection.

She still understands humans better than elves.

"They will be very, very, very happy to welcome these monsters."

"why?"

"Because this monster did bring them new lands."

She looked back at the empty, rolling earth.

"For humans, arable land has always been a precious resource. The king has laws to encourage land reclamation and provide subsidies based on the area. Simply put, land is wealth."

"There are only so many people in the village, right? The ones we have now are already too many."

"Flillian, when it comes to things like this, humans never feel 'enough'. After eating their fill, they crave better food. However, sometimes this pursuit can also bring good things. Let's not discuss that and get back to the matter itself.

"They think that with their previous 'experience' and knowing that the risks are controllable, they can definitely do better. They have already determined that this way they will gain more."

The elves think that humans will give up doing certain things because of the risks.

In fact, many people regard anything they don’t get as part of their planned plans as a loss.

Fulilian thought they would learn their lesson and stay away from monsters, but in fact, they were more likely to learn the lesson of not making good use of monsters.

[If the monster continues to eat the tree], [If we find a way to guide it]... they would think so.

These "ifs" sometimes lead to the advancement of civilization, but they definitely won't happen here because the monsters are absolutely uncontrollable.

Persuading them to give up is equivalent to asking them to suffer losses. When it comes to interests, humans are actually not as good as beasts. Beasts will choose to give up when biting their food due to risks, but few humans can overcome this.

Before coming to this world, Xiangzi only had a little understanding of these things. Now her wisdom allows her to understand many things, but most of the time she doesn't want to understand.

Fulilian frowned, "Do they consider this a 'cooperation'?"

"Whether it is or not, it has nothing to do with us. After we deal with these monsters this time, we just hope they won't come back again."

She looked off into the distance and said, "People are sometimes good, and sometimes bad. I think the difference lies in 'choice'. Don't give people the choice to become bad.

"The village you mentioned last night, Fulilian, has new people moving in. I think that since they haven't encountered the demons and haven't followed their instructions, they'll probably continue to live a normal life.

"At least for now, rather than telling humans 'Don't do that, it's dangerous,' I think a more efficient approach would be to eliminate the demons like Fulilian did. Here, we can eliminate the monsters and leave the awareness of dangerous things to professionals. We can't stop now."

"That's it, I understand."

Fulilian felt that she had learned something new.

"——Everyone, come and take a look."

Two monsters turned into ashes, decomposed into particles, and floated in the air. The third one was almost the same, but a crystal outline was left in its place.

"Teacher Fulilian, I've made some progress with my magic."

When Qing is happy, he will subconsciously use this name.

Fulilian also corrected as usual, walked over to look at Crystal,

"It contains the demon's magic power, even if it's only a part of it... It's already reached this level. Isn't it progressing too fast?"
