Reincarnation Band Magician

The arrogant demon left.

Shulahat looked at Qing with his black eyes, "Let's walk over there slowly. We still have time."

Qing keenly felt a sense of twilight.

“Why communicate if we’re going to be cleared out?”

"Because of the 'desire to talk', or the 'desire to show off', and that's enough for now."

"I see."

Most humans have a desire to show off. Many villains in stories love to explain their plans at the end. If they don't tell others about their brilliant schemes and the painstaking planning, how can they know? It would be a pity.

Perhaps Shulahat just wanted to talk.

The Great Demon walked in front, followed by the two ladies Qinghe, neither hurried nor slow, and finally came Graosam, whose presence was very weak.

They walked for a long distance without anyone speaking.

"Are there any questions?" Shulahat said, "I'm used to answering questions."

Qing looked at his back, "Don't you know what I want to ask? Ah, that's right, there's no point in that."

This should be something that was suggested on the spur of the moment, so Shulahat would not deliberately predict it, otherwise it would be too boring. As far as Qing knows, people who simulate chatting and look at the options usually only have GAL game masters.

Constantly looking into the future, seeking possibilities, recording conversations and repeating them in an attempt to reach the same result...it seems that he is also close to Shulahat.

It would be rude to continue thinking about it.

Quanzhi said earlier, "Such exchanges can also deepen our understanding, and perhaps they will be useful in the future."

"How long from now?"

"Decades, centuries, or millennia."

"It's quite long."

"Yes, it's so long that it's hopeless."

As he said, they just chatted casually. Although he didn't tell her everything he knew, he wouldn't shy away from most of the unimportant things.

He only kept silent about the future of Qing and the others.

Humans have a natural curiosity, and the feeling of acquiring knowledge and satisfying curiosity is fascinating.

"Is Solitaire still following?"

"No, she's very cautious and always waits two or three years before finding out about your affairs."

Shulahat glanced into the distance.

"Right now, I'm in the sand, trying to sneak into the ruins."

That's quite persistent...

Apart from these, he wouldn't mind some minor issues.

Qing asked about the biggest monster in the world.

"It's a Tianmai Dragon. About three thousand years from now, one will fall in the south."

"Where's the strongest weapon?"

"The sword of the brave, bestowed by the goddess. In the Land of Swords, it is said that it can only be drawn when a crisis of world destruction arises."

"Even the Hero of the South can't do that?"

"Now, no one can do it," Shulahat looked back, "because the demons won't destroy the world."

"Hmm... I see. Destroying the world and destroying humanity are two different things."

"It's good that you can understand, although no one can do it."

The former is backed by the goddess' sword, but to achieve the latter, they must face Celia.

Afterwards, Xiangzi and Fulilian both asked some questions.

The young lady had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but out of consideration for the people around her, she only asked where the best wine in the world was.

"If there's one thing that humans know of, the best wine, it's probably 'Emperor's Wine,' which you'll taste in the future."

Hearing that name, Fulilian paused slightly and asked calmly, "So what's the objectively best one?"

"I'm not sure what the wine tastes like, but based on the craftsmanship, I suspect there is indeed a wine better than what humans are pursuing today. There was a bottle of it in the ruins before you arrived, but it sank into the abyss. However, Solitaire will send it to you as a gift in a few years.

"At the end of the world, Endai, in a shipwreck in the northernmost icy sea, there is a precious wine solidified by magic by the southern nations, presented to the emperor..."

In such a conversation, Shulahat did not use any rhetoric, and the language used in his description was somewhat plain, like a reading machine.

This kind of time to simply discuss things without having to think about complex connections and the future is very rare for him.

"I remembered something."

Qing stopped, opened the box, and took out two puddings.

"You took it last time, didn't you?"

He has a good memory.

Mahat had pudding only once.

Qing was used to putting this soft stuff on a plate. If he ate it with a spoon, there would be some left at the end. If anyone wanted to waste it, they would have to look into Qing's firm and serious eyes.

The elf would pick up the plate and lick it without a second thought, and the eldest lady would, after a moment of silence, use magic to cut off the top and pour the untouched part to Fulilian.

This is a lady's etiquette, and you should cover your mouth with a napkin or handkerchief when chewing.

Taking this into consideration, Qing made a small box similar to the GXG pudding as a container. Fulilian liked it very much and could eat it in one bite, so she had to stock up on more pudding later.

Miss Xiangzi could barely accept it and ate it with her head tilted back.

But these were all very "disrespectful" to Mahat. Even when he was alone, it was hard to imagine the big demon eating pudding.

A short break on the journey: 208, The Demon King's Qualifications

Shulahat didn't say anything, which was also a kind of answer. He took the pudding and handed one to Graosam, just like last time.

"You should go too. Without you, they'll have another pointless argument."

"Ah."

The last of the Seven Bengxian went to the battlefield, bringing Pudding with them.

Graosam, who is famous for his mental magic, is good at "adjusting" the relationships between his colleagues and using his strange abilities to deter them from doing anything wrong.

Fulilian curled her lips, "That's my pudding."

"Everything goes well, and he will come up with more flavors of sweets later."

"The future is the future, and now it is mine too."

"As far as I know," Shulahat said something unknown, "you have been secretly eating a few meals every time you were on guard over the past few years. I don't want to talk about this."

Xiangzi widened his eyes.

If the occasion wasn't so terrible, she would definitely pick up Flillian and weigh her to see how much weight the elf had gained after stealing hundreds or even thousands of puddings.

The elf who stole the things and the caretaker who was covering up for them turned their heads at the same time, looking in different directions, and both of them were touching their fingers.

Qing touches his nails when he is thinking, and a little bit when he is lying.

Fulilian is absolutely incapable of lying. Her facial expressions are easy to understand, and she gestures with her fingers.

However, realizing that this memory would soon fade, they hardened again.

What I feel sorry for is not the fact of cheating, but the fact that the cheating was discovered. If it was not discovered, it would be the same as not happening.

The eldest lady looked at her friend and decisively took out her anger on the elf, her amber eyes as sharp as knives.

【You big pointy-eared rat! 】

It’s more of a dissatisfaction that parents find out that their children eat snacks before bed every day and don’t brush their teeth.

Because it was a family matter, she stared at Fulilian for a few times and temporarily suppressed her emotions.

The elf breathed a sigh of relief when the unsettling gaze disappeared.

It’s all the fault of those annoying demons. It would be best if they all died.

Shulahat continued to talk about the future and walked in front. He only took off his mask and then Pudding disappeared.

Do demons like sweets, or do they consider this a novelty?

After chatting for a while, they also began to understand Shulahat's character.

Don't let emotions affect work.

What they were really curious about was, indeed, this encounter and why Shulahat said "a result that satisfied all three parties."

"I really want to know. Since we both have the ability to predict the future, we should have been found as the Hero of the South."

"That's true," Shulahat said, "but we (the demons) won't let that happen. Your strength is just right now. Whether it's too strong or too weak, it will have an impact on this battle.

“We can’t let the Hero of the South teach you, otherwise the balance will be destroyed. This was the initial consensus. Moreover, he also believes that he is not the most suitable teacher. Now your growth is very suitable.

"Before you 'arrived', in the countless future foreseen, this war would have taken place a year from now. At that time, it was the Hero of the South who challenged the Seven Bengxian and me alone. But now it has changed.

“I had many opportunities to act early, but after booking this future, I tried my best to follow the established path.

"His current strength is weaker than in the other future, and you two together will make up for it. This is a kind of balance, so I will only talk to you and do nothing else."

Shulahat's tone changed slightly.

After meeting thousands of years in the future, the Brave Man of the South appears and becomes his opponent across time and space. They are also the only people who can understand each other and are not just enemies.

Even if they have never met.

"For the 'heroes,' the original ending was heroic enough. Now that we can fight side by side, there are no regrets at all. Even if you won't remember this for a long time, just the knowledge is enough. Fulilian will remember this."

In order to achieve the most satisfactory future, they all made countless predictions and interventions.

Qing never liked thinking about things like this, "It sounds so complicated and hard, you all."

"This level is necessary to open up the future."

"I have a question," Fulilian said calmly, "The Southern Hero chose Qinghexiang, perhaps thinking they could create a better future. But if you didn't approve of it, the current situation wouldn't exist. So I want to know what you saw."

She felt a little worried.

The current situation is clearly a "decisive battle," or in other words, a fight to the death.

A man who can see the future and a demon who can see the future decide to put an end to their conflict at this moment in order to prevent the other from continuing to change the future.

They must have seen the most appropriate development for their own position, but the future is never fixed and is not a straight line.

The future chosen by the Omniscient Shurahat...cannot help but make people worry.

Shulahat's footsteps continued, and then he fell silent for a few steps. "It's naturally beneficial to the future of the demons. It foreshadows the best future after tens of millions of times... To prevent it from being destroyed, I'm going to have the Southern Hero stop.

"Similarly, he must have seen the future he finds most satisfying, and rushed here to achieve it. I can't tell you the specifics, but it increases the probability of that future being destroyed by a billion or even a billionth of a percent."

“It’s a headache to hear.”

"However, there is a relatively simple and intuitive future that I can share with you. It's quite interesting, and this is also an important reason why I became interested in Qing."

Quanzhi stopped and turned around, "Qing, you have the talent to become a demon king."

"This is really..." Qing was stunned for a moment, "Thank you for the compliment?"

"That's obviously not a compliment."

"Is it a means of sowing discord?"

Miss Toyokawa and Fulilian understood his implication and both showed displeased expressions.

The Great Demon didn't care. "The future I see isn't a picture, it's just pieces of information. I piece them together to form the future. I will continue to try everything related to the Demon Clan.

“When you came, you were just ordinary people, and I had not yet noticed this tiny message.

"When I was trying to piece it together, the Hero of the South was about to secure the optimal future. I had to focus my energy on him, and then slowly came into contact with and influenced Qing. Mahat's encounter with you was related to my instructions.

"That's right. In the future I predicted, Qing, you became the Demon King."

Qing shook his head, "I don't think that's likely."

"That's just because you may have seen too little, and you trust humans too much.
