Start from Fulilian

Martina followed Ivan half a body length behind him with her head down, looking even more restrained than last night.

"Martina, I'd like to ask you, how much do you know about Viscount Hicks?"

Martina's face turned pale and she quickly shook her head, "...I dare not say."

This attitude actually said it all, so Ivan didn't continue to ask questions. Instead, he changed to a few light and everyday topics to gradually ease the atmosphere.

However, this atmosphere did not last for a minute before it was destroyed by the pot-bellied messenger Ferro.

At this time, he was standing at the door of the guesthouse where Ivan lived, directing the slaves to throw things out. Among them were many adventurers and villagers who were grateful for the small gifts given by Ivan.

"Are you someone who lives here?" Ferro said to Ivan in a high-handed tone, "The best room in this village is naturally used to entertain Lord Viscount Hicks. There must be no junk in it."

"Oh? The Viscount is actually going to stay here early?" Ivan's face was not angry at all. "It is my honor to give Viscount Hicks a room."

"You know the truth."

Ferro's attitude softened slightly. "After all, His Majesty's carriage will not pass through Suiye City, but will arrive directly here. Our heroic Viscount Hicks will naturally rest here for two days to adjust his condition and meet the king in the most perfect manner."

Ivan nodded. "I see. As expected of Viscount Hicks. Is he already on his way? How long will it take him to arrive? Please allow me to go and admire him."

"According to the Viscount's speed, he will arrive around evening." Ferro responded casually. After shifting his attention away from Ivan, he saw Martina behind him and his eyes widened for a moment.

"I didn't expect there would be such a beauty in this remote village... You, yes, the one carrying the lunch box, have been serving Viscount Hicks as a maid these past few days, so you've definitely received some benefits."

"!!!"

Martina was so frightened that her face turned pale. Although she was usually dull, she knew what the so-called service was. She was at a loss for a moment and could only look at Ivan as if he were her savior.

"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you hand the lunch box to the Herald and ask him to taste it and see if it suits the Viscount's taste?"

Seeing that Martina was just anxious but didn't move at all, as if she was frightened, Ivan snatched the lunch box and handed it to Ferro.

"She can actually cook? Let her be in charge of the meals for the guests. It's a lucrative job."

Ferro opened the lunch box and casually scooped a mouthful of food into his mouth with a spoon.

"boom--"

The meat ball weighing more than 200 pounds fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.

"Tsk, that's the good thing about being young, you can fall asleep right away."

Seeing the fat man rolling his eyes on the ground, Ivan felt that he wouldn't wake up for a while, so he turned to Martina and said, "Go home with your father first. Don't go anywhere. I have a small matter to take care of."

Martina stammered, "Is he really okay? The Herald is Viscount Hicks's face. If we offend him, we'll definitely be in big trouble..."

"rest assured."

Ivan smiled warmly, "I'll open Hicks's mind and heart."

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 23 What a coincidence, you come to kill him too

The setting sun is like a fading painter, gradually dyeing the sky into a mixture of orange and violet, and the afterglow lazily sprinkled on the winding and undulating mountains.

Ivan chose a comfortable place to lie down on the top of the mountain covered with rough rocks and sparse bushes, set up his sniper rifle, and opened the scope towards the carriage team moving in the distance.

There were about 100 infantry city defenders in front and behind. There was a very luxurious and exquisite carriage in the convoy, surrounded by more than knights in full steel armor. It should be the vehicle of Viscount Hicks. Just when Ivan was thinking about how to kill him, the whole convoy suddenly stopped, and the knights took out their spears and entered combat status.

Discovered?

That shouldn't be the case. Being at such a great distance is beyond the range of human perception.

Ivan quickly moved the scope to the side and finally saw the reason why the convoy stopped - two tall male demons, one holding a giant axe and the other holding a scale.

Wait… Libra?

Ivan immediately recalled the powerful demons that Voram had introduced to him. Among them, only one person used the scales, the great demon Remas. As for the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, he should also be a great demon.

Turtle, how can a Viscount Cricket have the right to ask two great demons to take action? Did Hicks break the heavenly law?

Ivan put aside his doubts for the moment, turned the gun around and fired two shots directly at the two big demons.

The bullets crafted by the demons sliced ​​through the air and shot towards the two demons...

……

"Livale, it seems we have come to the wrong place, and it's a little early, so what we encountered was not the king's convoy." Rimas, who was absolutely obedient, did not take the army in front of him seriously at all, and chatted with Livale, who was known as the bloody god of war.

"That's a good idea, Remas. It's a good way to whet your appetite before the main course begins. There should be a human noble in that carriage. If we can control him, we might get a surprise."

"You're quite quick-witted. I originally thought you were just a battle freak with a brain full of muscles."

"Haha, look at what you're saying. People who can't think won't live as long as I have. This is my advice to the young people, an old man. Don't...!!"

The moment he heard the sound of the bullet breaking through the air, Livale subconsciously picked up the giant axe to block it in front of him.

The bullet hit the giant axe, causing a huge explosion, but it also blocked most of the damage. However, Rimas' reaction was half a beat slow, and his magic shield was not fully deployed. Even though he made a dodgy move, the bullet still grazed his shoulder, taking away a large piece of flesh and blood.

The piece of flesh and blood that had begun to dissipate into magic particles seemed like a signal to start a war. The archers who had been accumulating strength for a long time began to shoot arrows, and the knights also charged with their spears.

If it were an ordinary demon, they would definitely be crushed into ashes under such an attack, but their opponents are two big demons who can destroy a small country alone, and one of them is Rimas who possesses the magic of obedience!

He took out a scale and weighed his own magic power against the magic power of all the war horses that were charging at a gradually accelerating speed. It was obvious that his magic power was heavily suppressed.

Ivan fired several more shots at Rimas, but now the two big demons were on guard. Livalai intercepted most of the bullets with his giant axe, and the remaining few were also blocked by the complete magic shield.

After gaining control of the war horses, Remas ordered them to turn around and rush towards the infantry group. In an instant, all the city defense soldiers were thrown to the ground in extreme chaos.

Viscount Hicks, who was sitting in the luxurious carriage, was terrified at the sight. He rolled off the carriage in a panic, rode a spare horse that had not yet been controlled, and began to flee towards the Sword Village.

"Front the rear, all of you, cover the rear, you must buy me some time!!!"

The demons cannot enter the cave where the holy sword is, and they know that they will be out of danger once they reach there.

Seeing that the noble lords had fled, the remaining troops no longer had the will to fight. They were just ordinary city defense troops and had only fought against the demons a few times in their lives. Who would be willing to fight the big demon who was at the top of the demon clan?

The city defense troops threw away their armor and fled in all directions. Viscount Hicks, who turned around and saw this scene, cursed, "Useless! A bunch of useless people! When I get back, I will definitely..."

"boom."

Another bullet pierced the air, but this time it was not wasted on the giant axe and magic shield, but hit the embarrassed Viscount, turning him into a dark wizard.

He was running towards the Sword Village. If the two great demons had gone there, countless people would have died. Even if he hadn't run far, he wouldn't have been any better off being under the control of Rimas's obedience magic.

So even if it meant sacrificing some of his precious chance to escape, Ivan had to shoot Hicks.

After seeing that Hicks was dead, Ivan put away his sniper rifle and shot towards the king. The messenger said that the newly formed palace magic team was also with the king, so Volame must be among them.

With this big guy by my side, not only can I save my life, but I might even be able to kill one or two big demons!

"It really surprises me. I didn't expect that humans could master this level of flying magic. I've never seen such a thing in my life." Livalai casually cleared out a few knights who were fighting to the death, and looked at the direction where Ivan escaped with a happy smile.

"Don't waste time, Livalai, go catch up with him. I sensed the magical aura of two of his men when he used that strange magic on us just now. That man might be hiding a huge secret. We can't let him escape!"

"Oh my, young people nowadays are so impatient. Even an old man like me feels like we've gone back a thousand years after spending so much time together."

Remas and Livale flew into the air and chased after Ivan, but after chasing for a few minutes, Remas frowned when he found that the distance between them could not be shortened.

"This human is so abnormal that he can fly for so long. We need to summon some help."

The distance between the two was too far, and he was flying at full speed, so he couldn't cast obedience magic on the human. He could only use the ability of the upper demon clan to drive several corpse-luring bird monsters passing by in the air to intercept him.

Not seeking to kill, just to slow it down.

Ivan felt the magic power in his body dissipating as he flew at high speed. He had originally planned to use the bullets he had made with great difficulty to replenish his magic power, but he didn't expect that several flying monsters would come to his door.

The soul shock instantly killed him, then he grabbed the corpse and refined it in an instant!!!

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 24: Can you kill me, a great demon, in one second?

Taking advantage of the time when the group was resting, Fulilian went to the woods to practice magic.

She was wearing a plain white long dress, the hem of which dragged on the gray ground. Her petite waist was pressed down by her hip-length hair, and the skirt that reached her feet could not hide her well-proportioned legs. From a distance, one could still see her flawless profile.

But unlike her petite and cute appearance, Fulilian started by practicing the most powerful attack magic she had learned recently. She used the force generated by the electromagnetic field to accelerate the metal inside and launch it out. Compared with traditional attack magic, the lethality was astonishingly strong and could even penetrate magic shields instantly.

It's just that it's very difficult to control the accuracy, and charging is rather complicated. It's easy to explode if you're distracted for a moment, so she would only practice away from people and under Volame's supervision.

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon... I don't know if Ivan's sleep schedule has changed. If not, he's probably still lying in bed."

"..."

Furlian had long been accustomed to Volame muttering a few words about Ivan from time to time, and did not interrupt the magic charging of the railgun at all.

Just when she was about to launch successfully, Volame held down her wand-holding hand, stopping it.

"Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

"I sensed two large demons rapidly approaching us, seemingly chasing a human. That magical reaction... Ivan?"

Volame couldn't help but grumble, "What good deed did he do to save the world and the people that caused two great demons to launch such a large-scale hunt against him?"

Despite all the complaints, Volame was still very worried about Ivan's safety. He began to transfer magic power to Frillian's staff to stabilize and expand the already constructed electromagnetic field, and also added a fist-sized iron block into it.

You have to know that Fulilian's original electromagnetic field was only the size of a fingernail, which made it difficult for her to control it, but Volame seemed to be at ease. Circles of blue arcs kept jumping and gradually grew larger.

"Listen to me later and count to three, two, one. Together we will untie the metal block."

"it is good."

◇

On the other side, Ivan finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a large number of troops stationed there with the flags of the Royal Guard, and rushed over there at an accelerated speed.

"Stop, Remas. This pursuit has failed. We have consumed a lot of magic power, and you are injured. You are not fit to fight against the fully armed king's army."

Livale stopped Rimas, but the other party was obviously not convinced.

"Liwalai, you're too cautious. Even if you've consumed a lot of magic power and got ambushed and injured, what's the big deal? I have obedience magic. As long as my magic power is greater than the opponent's, I can control him. Compared to a great demon like me who has lived for over nine hundred years, even if I consume one-fifth of my magic power, I'm still no match for a human."

"Being cautious isn't a bad thing. The magic that attacked us earlier strikes me as suspicious. Especially now, I feel a strong sense of unease." Livale continued, "Just listen to me, an old man. Never underestimate humans. Let's retreat for now and make other plans."

"Hmph, are you ordering me?"

Remas slapped Livale's arm away and began to descend. "I take it back. You're not being cautious, you're simply being cowardly. With all the protection we've put in place, that strange magic won't work on us. If you don't go, I'll go by myself. It's just a king's army. It's not like we haven't wiped them out before."

Remas does have the capital to be confident. He has survived the fights among many demons and climbed step by step to the position of a great demon. He is almost a thousand years old, which is an amazing achievement among the demons.

The longer he lived, the more magic power he would have. He was confident that no human could surpass him in magic power, although he did not bring his own army with him in order to keep his actions secret.

But it wasn't a big deal. As long as the opponent entered the casting range, they would become their obedient slave, and their resources would increase with each fight. As for the magic being interrupted? What a joke! In front of me who had already opened the magic shield...

Is there anyone who can kill him instantly when he has the magic shield activated?

"boom--"

Accompanied by a roar of electric current noise, the shells that were constantly heated and turned into molten iron while moving at high speed broke through the sound barrier and attacked Rimas.

The magic shield that he had high hopes for was shattered in less than 0.1 seconds. The scorching hot molten iron penetrated Rimas's entire abdomen without losing momentum, streaking a dazzling light across the sky.

Livale looked back at the already doomed Remas and sped away, "Ah, young man, why don't you listen to advice?"

He began to think about how to explain to the Demon King. The failure of the mission was not a big deal, but the main problem was that it would be troublesome if Rimas, who could obey magic, died. It would probably take hundreds of years for the next person to master the magic of obedience.

Judging from the current development potential shown by humans, can the demons really wait until that day?

……

When Ivan saw the railgun piercing the sky from below, he knew it was Volame's credit, and quickly went to the woods to meet her.

After a brief greeting, they went together to the crash site of the big demon that was hit by the electromagnetic cannon.

Rimas, his body broken into two, fell into the mud and water. He stretched out his hand to pick up the obedience scale that fell not far away, but the short distance was like a chasm that he could not reach no matter how hard he tried.

"This scale belongs to me. Is that okay with you, Ivan?"

Volame reached out and picked up the obedience scale, playing with it in his hand.

If Remas was a human, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. It was obviously his thing, but someone snatched it away and asked another person's opinion, completely ignoring his own existence.

Unfortunately, he was a demon and did not have such rich emotional expressions. After struggling in vain, he completely died.

"That scale is your trophy. It's only natural for you to take it. I just want his body."

Ivan decisively stored Remas in his space ring. This was a Great Demon. How could he let go of such precious material? Even if he used it as a power bank, it would last for a long time.

"Volamei, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise I would be really finished."

"It's natural for a teacher to protect his or her students. Now, tell me why this situation happened."

"This, this, this, this..." Ivan explained everything in detail, including his purpose and the performance of the new weapon.
