"Damn Demon Tribe! I just don't want this city to fall into the hands of your demons and cause more harm to humanity!"

The current city leader spoke seriously, but from his tightly locked pupils, one could see a hint of fear hidden deep within.

"That sounds nice, but the results of the lie detector test seem to tell me that it's not what you said."

"Line, kill him too."

The demon girl faithfully carried out the order. The current city lord fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. The breath of life disappeared from his body. The strong smell of blood filled the air in the main hall of the city lord's mansion and could not be shaken off.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hall. A middle-aged man in armor ran in. Without even glancing at the two bodies lying on the ground, he knelt on one knee and saluted Aura:

"Aura, there's a young human outside who wants to see you."

"Who wants to see me?"

Aura frowned and stood up from the chair.

Her existence is also a secret among the upper echelons of the magic city of Oissast. Only the dean of the academy and the commander of the city guard know her. Could it be that when they arrested the Imperial Magic Special Forces, they didn't handle it properly and let them pass the news on?

"it's me."

A voice deeply engraved in memory rang out, and the figure that had not been seen for four hundred years walked in. Just like before, time had not left any trace on him.

"Lord Aura!"

The girl named Linie quickly stood in front of Aura, looking at the uninvited human with a hint of doubt. His magic power was very weak, and there was no sense of danger from him. How did he break through the guards outside and get in?

"You all go out first."

Aura turned around and gave a cold order, looking at the newcomer, his eyes full of fanaticism, and a hint of deep surprise: "So it's you, the bastard? I thought you were dead. How disappointing."

Aura's smile became more and more crazy, and he released the suppression of his magic power. The magic power fluctuations that he had cultivated for four hundred years swept across the entire hall. The commander of the city guard below even felt that he was having difficulty breathing.

"This magical power! It seems I was away for quite some time this time."

Ye Shanming looked at Aura, whose body had not grown at all, and felt the magical power she was exuding. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Can you tell me about your story during this period?"

"Oh, he left four hundred years ago, and there's no news at all."

Aura had no intention of satisfying Ye Shanming's curiosity. All she had was a grudge: "You want to know, right? No need to use magic, just beat me first!"

After she finished speaking, she cast a flying magic and left the hall directly, flying towards the nearby mountains and forests. Ye Shanming followed her without saying a word. As Aura's loyal attendant, Linie also followed closely.

After leaving the magic city for a distance, Aura showed no sign at all. The magic circle in his palm disappeared in an instant. Ye Shanming turned his head to avoid it. An invisible slash passed by his face, and the flying bird in the distance was smoothly split into two.

"Line, protect yourself."

The long-awaited reunion battle was about to break out. Aura only had time to remind her before several magic circles enveloped her body. As the light flowed, several magic chains came towards her as if they had life and bound her.

She danced nimbly between the gaps in the chains. The cutting magic improved by Akira Yeyama was no longer limited to dividing food, but had the function of concealing and quickly launching offensive magic.

The magic chains broke into pieces under the invisible slash and turned into particles and disappeared. The two of them were in sync with each other, and a gorgeous magic circle appeared under their feet at the same time, expanding rapidly to cover the area around them of more than ten meters.

Gravity magic!

The air suddenly twisted, and both of them felt like a mountain was pressing down on them, their bones creaking. However, in addition to being a magician, Ye Shanming was also a top warrior, and this level of pain was completely within his body's tolerance.

However, his flying magic was copied from the demons, and his control was not as good as the demons themselves. Gravity was changed, and he could only watch his body fall to the ground.

"Do you think I'm still the weak me who could only endure bullying? This time, I will definitely pin you down and make you serve me tea and water, massage my shoulders and legs for a hundred years!"

Aula was very excited after the move was successful. He maintained the gravity magic and a magic circle covered Ye Shanming's head, with tiny purple lightning wrapped around it.

Thunder of destruction!

Purple lightning as big as a bucket fell from the sky, like a flood flooding the ground. The birds were scared away, and the surrounding trees were broken in half. The broken parts were burning fiercely. A large hole more than two meters wide was blown out in the ground. The bottom of the pit was charred black, but Ye Shanming's figure was completely invisible.

"You're so cruel. It seems you've accumulated a lot of resentment in the past."

A gloomy voice sounded behind Aura, and cold sweat flowed down her face. Just as she was about to escape, Ye Shanming flicked his finger, and the restraining magic turned into a circle of light that trapped her hands firmly at her waist.

Aura was sandwiched under Ye Shanming. He found a rock to sit on and pressed her face down on his thighs.

"I said, I was just too excited so I couldn't stop. Do you believe me?"

"I believe."

Ye Shanming's calm voice sounded from above her head, making her breathe a sigh of relief.

"So let's reconcile."

"Reconciliation? Go talk to my fatherly love!"

Chapter 2: The main account is useless, so let’s practice the secondary account.

"How can there be a human father's love like yours?"

Aura limped behind Ye Shanming. The latter had not held back at all when he spanked her butt. Now her butt was so red and swollen that it hurt to walk.

Linie supported her and looked at Ye Shanming's back curiously.

Is this his real master?

Ever since she was adopted by Master Aula, she often heard Master Aula say that her real master had gone out traveling hundreds of years ago and had never returned. Before he came back, she only needed to obey Master Aula's orders.

"This kind of fatherly love is most suitable for a disobedient child like you."

Ye Shanming sat on the chair in the city lord's hall in a bad mood. From Fujiwara Moe, he had realized that for such a child who had gone astray, corporal punishment was the right way to educate him.

Aura pulled down her hood and sat in Ye Shanming's arms without any hesitation. The pain on her butt made her gasp, but she still forced herself not to stand up. This familiar posture reminded her of the past.

But these hundreds of years were just like spending more than half a month in Tokyo for Ye Shanming. He slapped the huge horns that were pressing against his chin in disgust, and in return he received an angry glare from Aura.

"Tell me, what happened in the past four hundred years? How did you become the one who holds the power behind Oissast?"

Ye Shanming did not get angry directly because of Aula's murder. He had confidence in the child he raised. Although the child had a strange personality and tried to stab him in the back all day long, he still listened to his words.

Aura was somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, but still told the story of what happened after he left.

Ever since he left, the magic city of Oissast has become more and more famous, and it is even known as the holy land of magicians in the central and northern continents.

About fifty years ago, the Northern Empire, which had always wanted to unify human countries and revive the glory of the unified empire, had long forgotten the causes and consequences of the founding of the Magic City and wanted to infiltrate it and incorporate it into its own territory.

With Aura's personality, she originally didn't want to care about human affairs, but considering that if Oisast was ruled by the empire, she would not be able to stay here any longer, and worried that Ye Shanming would not be able to find her when he came back, she simply secretly eliminated the spy sent by the Northern Empire.

The existence of her and Ye Shanming has actually been passed down from generation to generation by the city lord and the dean of the college, so the old city lord is very cooperative and helps her hide her identity.

"Just a few days ago, the old city lord's son, under the temptation of the Northern Empire, teamed up with the Magic Special Forces to assassinate the old city lord, intending to hand over the Magic City. As a result, the old city lord has not yet confessed anything about me, which makes it easier for me to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Ye Shanming was not too moved by what Aula said, but he felt a little emotional. The group of children he saved that year not only passed on their existence orally, but even the old city lord completely trusted Aula, a demon.

In this case, he could not disappoint the children who had always trusted and been grateful to him, even though they had long since disappeared in the long river of time.

"Is there only one person from the Magical Special Agent Team?"

"A small team came, and I killed the rest."

Ye Shanming nodded and touched her head. The Magic Special Forces appeared as early as the Unified Empire period. They were the same spy agencies as the Shadow Warriors. However, unlike the Shadow Warriors who specialized in assassination, the Magic Special Forces were more inclined to the battlefield and suppressing civil unrest. This time the Empire sent the Magic Special Forces here, probably because they considered that the main goal was to control the magic city.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of information, they did not expect that a powerful demon who was good at various magics would secretly help the Magic City, and they were completely destroyed.

After explaining the whole story clearly, Aura frowned, somewhat displeased with the increasingly strong smell of blood in the hall. She turned her head to look at Linie who had been standing beside her.

"Line, clean up."

"Yes, Master Aura."

Line saluted expressionlessly, grabbed a foot with each hand, and dragged the two bodies out, using the room cleaning magic to clean up the blood stains.

"Did you adopt this child?"

"Yes, she was just born and was mistaken for prey by a wolf pack, so I rescued her. So, I think Linie has done a good job in my teaching."

Aura looked up at Ye Shanming proudly, and the pair of big horns ruthlessly poked his chin again. Ye Shanming put Aura down from his arms with an expressionless face.

"With your personality, I'm worried about the children you'll raise."

"It's better than asking your child to cook and do housework every day and then punishing him or her."

Having said that, a strong resentment surged into Aula's heart again. If it weren't for the pain in her buttocks warning her, she might have fought a second round with Ye Shanming.

"I'm training you to be independent. Look, you've been doing pretty well these years when I wasn't around, haven't you?"

Ye Shanming argued cunningly, refusing to admit that his original intention was to be too lazy to do these things. He shook his head regretfully as he spoke:

"It's a shame I didn't teach you to respect your elders, especially your adoptive father."

Aura sneered: "Really? Then I will leave Linie to you to teach for a while and see what you can cultivate into her."

In the evening, Aula called the commander of the city guards and the dean of the academy over and revealed Ye Shanming's identity. After the old and new city lords died one after another, Ye Shanming was the one who actually managed the magic city. On the surface, the old city lord's ten-year-old grandson took over the position of city lord.

Although he is in charge of management, Ye Shanming is actually only in charge of the general direction. The specific affairs are still handled by the commander of the city guards and the dean of the academy. Compared with these, he prefers to study magic and bring up new children.

Now that Aura has become a waste, raising Linie well has become the only way to prove his educational ability.

"Lord Akira Hayama."

Perhaps following Aura's example, Linie also particularly liked to sit in Ye Shanming's arms. She took an apple from the table and started to eat it directly.

"Line, are you good at magic or martial arts?"

Ye Shanming touched her hair. Compared with the big horns on Aura's head, Line's horns were much smaller and would not poke him.

“Be good at a little bit of everything.”

Linie took a bite of her apple and replied vaguely, "Aura-sama said that in order to defeat Hayama Akira-sama, one must become both a magician and a warrior."

"Don't eat while you're talking."

Ye Shanming patted her head to correct her bad habits, but Line pondered for a moment, handed the apple with two bites to his mouth, and looked at him with her head tilted:

"Master Ye Shanming, do you want to eat?"

"I'm not eating. I'm asking you to... forget it."

Seeing the innocence in Linie's eyes that hadn't been tainted by knowledge, Ye Shanming finally gave up the idea of ​​correcting her and consoled himself in his heart:

It's just talking while eating, a small matter, as long as your personality doesn't go astray.

"Come and fight. Let me see how well you master magic and martial arts."

"Yes."

Linie accepted Ye Shanming's order unconditionally, jumped off him, and a one-handed sword appeared out of thin air in her hand. She took a stance, and a murderous aura emanated from her. In just a moment, she turned from a well-behaved demon girl into a warrior.

Chapter 3: The Strongest Hero of Humanity.

The two swords collided with each other, sparks flew, and Linie's right leg hit Ye Shanming's fist head-on with a whistling sound. The difference in strength caused her body to fly backwards uncontrollably, and she flipped over in the air and landed on the ground. She was about to launch another attack, but saw that Ye Shanming had already sat back in his seat, ending the test.

"Is this your mimicry magic?"

Ye Shanming frowned, Linie nodded, sat in his arms again, and continued to eat the apple.

"Yes, by memorizing the flow of magic power when the other person moves, you can imitate their movements."

"Improving your melee combat abilities by imitating magic is indeed a good idea, but your body isn't strong enough. Although you can imitate my moves, your strength alone is enough for me to crush you."

With one hand around Line's waist and the other hand subconsciously touching her head, Ye Shanming thought about the problems she had just exposed, and had an idea of ​​the direction of his next teaching.

"In the next few days, you will learn from me how to improve your physical strength. For a warrior, no matter how exquisite the moves are, they need a strong body to support them."

"If you only focus on imitating magic and ignore your true nature as a warrior, you will suffer greatly in the future."

"Yes, Master Ye Shanming."

Linie's voice was calm. She only needed to obey the arrangements of the two adults, Aura and Ye Shanming.

In the following time, Ye Shanming taught Linie while secretly controlling the magic city. His original plan was to stay here for a few years and then return to Tokyo to stay for ten days or half a month to relax.

However, since he returned from Tokyo this time, four hundred years had passed in this world. In order to prevent an unknown number of years from passing next time he returned, he planned to stay until the reversal of heaven and earth that Shulahat had mentioned occurred before leaving.

During this period, the demons' attacks on humans became more and more intense. Many demons also began to move around in the central continent, which was originally considered peaceful. The Northern Empire was unable to put pressure on the human countries and invested all its military strength in the front line against the demons.

Due to the increasingly harsh living conditions, many brave teams of adventurers have emerged from the civilian population, trying to go to the Demon King's City Ede to defeat the Demon King who has been at the top of the demon clan for thousands of years.

In these years, many powerful adventurers and heroes have emerged. Even Ye Shanming, who doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, has heard of some of their names. Today, he received a visit from such a famous person.

"Long time no see, no, it should be said that this is our first meeting, the mysterious thousand-year-old magician, Ye Shanming."

In the audience hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a mustache and long bangs was brought in by the commander of the city guards. He introduced himself with a smile and extended his right hand towards Ye Shanming.

"I've heard of your name for a long time. You are the strongest hero of mankind, the Hero of the South."

After the commander of the city guards brought the person here, he left the audience hall directly. Ye Shanming also smiled and shook the right hand of the brave man of the south.
