Flillian, I want to live.

Haita said to Fulilian in a longing tone.

"Of course it can be done. It'll only take five or six years," Fulilian said in a relaxed tone as she flipped through the pages of the magic book in her hand. "But is this book truly an unearthed artifact? The wear and tear on the pages doesn't seem to have been there very long. Have you ever deciphered this book before?"

"Well, that's right."

Hearing Fulilian's doubts, Haita smiled and nodded.

"You really care about it," Flillian closed the magic book in her hand and tilted her head to look at Haita. "But, what exactly do you want me to decipher these things for? If I remember correctly, aren't you afraid of death?"

Facing Fulilian's question, Haita turned his back and walked towards the stairs.

"There are two reasons. One is that when I said I wasn't afraid of death last time, I was just pretending. The other is that I'm more afraid of death now than before."

"Are you not immune to this? A wine-drinking monk."

Fulilian looked at Haita's somewhat lonely profile and made her usual low EQ remarks.

"Hahaha~ What's wrong with living on?" Feeling Fulilian's gaze, Haita grinned. "Besides, the Holy Scripture also requires us to live a healthy life. Longevity is the ultimate healthy life, Fulilian~"

"cut……"

Facing the somewhat rogue Haita, Fulilian smacked her lips in slight displeasure.

"Ah, right."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Haita turned his head and looked at Fulilian.

"Anything else?"

"Can you help Philen decipher the magic book and teach him how to use it? I'm just a monk after all, and I don't understand magic at all~"

Haita asked Fulilian a little embarrassedly.

"If that's all," Fulilian closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "Okay."

"Thank you very much..."

Haita waved his hand, as if he had let go of something, and turned to walk up the stairs.

"Come to think of it," however, Fulilian, who seemed to have come to her senses, stopped Haita at this moment, "Since you are a monk, why didn't you teach the magic of the goddess in the Holy Scripture of Ferren and become a monk from the beginning?"

"Needless to say?" Haita continued on the stairs. "Of course it's because Philen chose magic himself."

On the edge of a towering cliff, a purple-haired girl was holding a huge staff that was twice as tall as her. She stood there quietly, as if she was staring at something.

“Ahhh~”

There was a strange noise behind Philen. She slowly turned her head and saw a white-haired elf emerging from the bushes in a somewhat embarrassed manner. While flapping her skirt, she said to her in a complaining tone:

"Here I am. I've been looking for you for a long time, Philen. If you want to practice in the forest, take me with you."

"Isn't it because Lady Flillian overslept?"

Philen raised his head, looked at the sun that had already climbed above his head, and retorted mercilessly.

"Uh...compared to those."

Fulilian walked slowly to Philen's side and silently brought over the matter of herself staying in bed.

A magician can judge the strength of another person by observing the release of magic outside his body.

"No wonder the magic detection couldn't find you at all."

From Fulilian's perspective, the magic power emanating from Philen was very weak.

Probably only at the level of an apprentice magician.

"Really? Isn't it easy for even Lady Flillian to detect me? Lady Haita often says that my presence is very low."

Philen turned his head and glanced at Fulilian who was standing next to him.

"Isn't this a very good thing, Lady Flillian?"

"That's right."

Fulilian replied without denying it.

"Lord Haita said that you are the most outstanding magician in the world. Not only was you a member of the brave team that defeated the Demon King, but you have also made great contributions to the research of modern magic for mankind."

Philen opened his mouth and silently recounted the words of praise he had heard from Haita.

"Yes."

Fulilian had no intention of being modest and simply admitted it calmly.

"I also heard that you lived for over a thousand years and were even a disciple of the legendary great magician, Lord Volame," Fearon continued to recount the rumors about Fulilian. "Is this also true?"

"Well, that's not wrong."

Fulilian shrugged. Although such an experience might seem like a fairy tale to others, she herself is a living legend.

"Buried Fulilian...it seems you even have such a title."

Philen turned around and looked up at Fulilian in front of him.

"Did Haita also tell you that title?"

Fulilian looked at Philen in surprise.

The ruined Fulilian - although it is difficult for people who meet her for the first time to associate this seemingly harmless elf girl with such a terrifying word as ruined, most people who think so do not know that this guy who has lived for a thousand years but cannot overcome the problem of being a lazy person is actually the one who has ruined the most demons in history.

For humans, Fulilian's life is too long, so what they can understand is often just the tip of the iceberg of the other party.

It is precisely because of this that, in Fulilian's long life, most of the people she met who could remember and mention this title to her were not human.

But it is an existence with the same long life as hers.

The buried Fulilian is the name of Fulilian that is passed down in the memories of the demons.

"Phiren, let me ask you again, was that title also told to you by Haita?"

Fulilian looked at the silent Philen and repeated her question again.

Chapter 24: Methods to Eliminate the Demons

The burial of Fulilian.

The first time I heard this title was when Philen had just left his hometown and embarked on a journey to the south with Guter.

"Amazing……"

Just by hearing Gutel's story, Philen's face was filled with longing for the elf magician whom he had never met.

Over the course of a thousand years, Fulilian personally slew countless demons, and ultimately destroyed the Demon King, becoming the ultimate magician.

"You seem to want to be like her."

In the light of the campfire, Gutel glanced at Philen beside him and spoke slowly.

"The demons took everything from me," Fieren raised his head and looked at Gutel beside him, and said frankly, "I hate the demons to the core. I want to kill them all, just like Lady Fulilian."

"Including me?"

Guter glanced sideways at Philen.

"……Um."

Philen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"From my perspective, it's a bit tricky." Guter didn't get angry at Fierlen's words, but just stroked his chin with a playful look. "However, if you target that Flillian, your wish may be doomed to fail."

"Why do you say that?"

Philen blinked, his face full of confusion.

"That girl, Fulilian, spent a thousand years tirelessly hunting down demons," Gutel said with a slight smile, his lips curled up. "But, today, a thousand years later, has she killed all the demons?"

Guter's question silenced Phelan.

The answer is an obvious no.

"Remember the method I taught you before to limit your magic power?"

Guter suddenly asked Fieren a seemingly unrelated question.

"Um……"

Philen nodded. Ever since Gutel discovered her magical talent, he began to teach her about magic during his journey on his own initiative.

Philen had no objection to this matter.

After experiencing the despair and helplessness that night, Philen wanted to become stronger more than anyone else.

After Philen mastered magic, the first thing Gutel taught her was to limit her own magical power.

It's not about temporarily concealing your magic for the purpose of ambush or hiding, but a method of disguising yourself at all times throughout your life.

Philen seemed to have an excellent talent in this area. When she was quiet, Gutel's magical perception could hardly detect her presence.

"In the demon world, magic is what we are most proud of. The strength of our magic determines our status and maintains the most basic order among the demons. The more powerful the demon, the harder they will work to demonstrate their strength and unleash their magic."

Gutel raised his head and told Philen with some emotion about the unknown nature of the demons.

"I thought it was common for demons to restrict magic power like Master Guter."

Philen listened carefully. It was precisely because of her hatred for the demons that she needed to know everything about them.

"No, no, no. Among the demons, I am an exception. Most demons are like the Bahata you met before. They are guys who will show off their power without any concealment."

Gutel shook her head and used the example of the demon general she had killed before.

"Bahata..."

When he heard Gutel mention the name of the enemy who killed his parents, Philen unconsciously clenched his teeth.

"Bahata was an excellent magician, but he didn't even have the chance to display his magic, which he was so proud of, before I easily killed him. Do you know why?"

Gutel ignored the expression of hatred on Philen's face, but continued to ask Philen questions using the example of Bahata.

"reason……"

Philen looked at Gutel in front of him. Judging only from the magic power emanating from her, no one would regard her as a great demon who could kill Bahata with one blow.

"Because Lord Gutel restricted your magic power, Bahata misjudged your true strength. That's why he was caught off guard and was easily killed by you."

Philen gave his own answer.

"That's right, manipulating sacred magic and defeating the enemy through deception," Guter nodded with satisfaction. "Even in the eyes of the demons, this is a despicable and poor way of fighting... don't you think?"

"As long as we can kill the demons, isn't that enough?"

Phelan replied calmly.

"That's right. I'm afraid that Fulilian thinks the same way."

Guter nodded.

"Is what you taught me the fighting style of Lady Fulilian?"

Fieren, realizing something, asked Gutel.

"Indeed, countless demons have died due to her deception. Even I almost fell into her trap."

Guter said somewhat unhappily.

"So you're imitating Lady Flillian?"

Philen continued to ask.

"Imitate her?" Guter curled his lips in disdain. "You think too highly of her."

"What I teach you is the knowledge I learned from the great magician, Volame, thousands of years ago."

Guter further added

"Volamei..."

Hearing the name, Philen blinked in surprise.

He was a hero who lived in the ancient times thousands of years ago and was recorded in history books.

Especially for magicians, Volame's name is well-known.

She created the prototype of modern magic for mankind, promoted human research on magic, and trained countless outstanding disciples. The barriers she laid down continue to protect people all over the world to this day.

The originator of human magic.
