I don't want to be a heroic spirit

So, when she was about to go out...

"Zhan! I need your help!"

...Here come the uncontrollable factors.

After silently slapping his lips a few times, Jian turned his head and gave Fulilian, who pushed the door open, a look full of resentment.

It took a few minutes to explain...

"Why did you piss off Philen again?"

Jian subconsciously held his forehead and sighed, his head aching. "By the way, have you and Feilun been arguing a lot lately?"

"I'm sorry... I already know I was wrong..."

Fulilian had a melancholy expression on her face, and the two index fingers of her left and right hands were poked together in front of her chest.

Yes, Flillian and Fearon are fighting again.

In the scattered royal tombs, the staff made by Ash and later given to Philen by Haita was shattered by Fulilian's clone.

After returning, Philen wanted to repair the staff, but Fulilian said, "It's broken like this, so it's better to throw it away and buy a new one."

Then Philen got angry and no one knew where he went now.

"So, are you two children? Even the way you get angry is so childish."

Jian felt that this trip was just her being a mother with three children, and none of the three children gave her peace of mind.

'This family will fall apart sooner or later without me!'

Jian thought to himself.

It was normal for Philen to be angry. After all, the staff was a gift from Haita to Philen, and it contained important memories of Philen. She certainly didn't want to throw it away.

Jian understood this, but Fulilian didn't... Fulilian, who was lacking in emotions, found it difficult to understand this feeling. Otherwise, Fulilian wouldn't have had the attitude of "it's lost, so it's lost" when the ring given by Xinmeier was stolen by the gem bug.

There was no malice in what Fulilian said to Philen. Fulilian just made a suggestion that she thought was right, without considering Philen's thoughts.

He wanted to say something, but he knew that no matter what he said, it would be like talking to a deaf person to Fulilian.

At this time, Ash turned his eyes to the bag that Fulilian brought.

"Is this the staff that Fearon broke into pieces?"

"Yes, I heard from Philen that you made that staff, so I wanted to ask you to help repair it."

Opening the bag, Jian saw many fragments inside.

"...You really know how to make things difficult for me. It's broken into pieces like this. Repairing it completely is infinitely more difficult than making a new one."

Although he was complaining, the corners of Jian's mouth raised in an imperceptible arc.

Fulilian is a gentle person.

Although she was emotionally indifferent and could not understand why Philen was angry, she was able to understand from the fact that "Philen was angry" that "she had done something wrong" and actively made amends.

"Repairing this staff is an extremely tedious project... I usually stay away from troublesome things like this."

Jian took two fragments from the bag and said, "Remember to treat me to a good meal as a reward. I sacrificed a lot for you this time."

Ash's confident words proved that she did have the ability to repair the staff, which made Fulilian laugh happily.

"No problem! Anyway, I made a lot of money from exploring the ruins twice recently. Now I'm a wealthy woman with a bulging wallet!"

"Don't be so proud. I'm only responsible for helping you repair your staff. I won't accompany you in making Philen calm down. You can handle it yourself."

“Hey~~!”

Should we say “Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear”?

As soon as we started talking about Philen, the door of the room was pushed open by Philen.

"Master Jian, may I ask..."

As soon as he entered the room, Philen saw Jian sitting on the ground and Fulilian sitting on the bed, and then he saw the fragments held in Jian's hand.

"Those are... my staffs?"

"Yes, I was just about to go out for a good day when this girl, Fulilian, came to my house with these things and asked me to repair them."

Jian nodded and said casually, "I said that the repair process is too troublesome and it would be better to make a new one. But Fulilian shook her head and refused, saying that this is a very important thing for her apprentice and asked me to repair it."

"Wait, when did I…"

Just as Fulilian was about to say something to ruin the situation, Jian quickly covered her mouth with his hands.

"Alright, you two, hurry up and get out of here. Don't bother me while I'm working. You probably have a lot to say to each other, right? Don't keep it bottled up in your hearts, just say it out loud."

Before Fulilian and Philen could react, they were pushed out of the room by Jian.

"Oh, right."

Before closing the door, Jian seemed to have remembered something and said to Philen, "What Fulilian said before was unintentional and without any malice. Fulilian has done her best to make amends. You should understand her slow nature, right? Anyway, the staff can be repaired tonight, so don't be angry with her anymore... At worst, she can treat you to a snack today as compensation."

After closing the door, Jian did not start the repair work immediately. Instead, she leaned against the door and listened to the conversation between the two people outside. She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that their relationship had been restored.

"Taking care of children is exhausting and thankless... I feel like I'm going to age quickly if I keep going like this."

Sitting down again, Jian began to repair the broken staff.

"...never mind, it's nothing compared to taking care of those damn goblins."

Staring at the broken staff, Jian couldn't help but recall the scene of a young girl taking the trouble to carefully maintain the staff time and time again.

"...It's a really nice staff. It must be well-treasured."

449

Chapter 449 Emperor's Wine.

Just today, the third round of assessment ended.

Because too many candidates passed the second round of assessment, the Magic Association had to make some changes to the content of the third round of assessment.

Fulilian's master, Celia, the longest-lived and most powerful elven magician, came to the magic city of Oisasde as an examiner for the third round of assessment.

Celia's assessment is completely different from other assessments. She relies entirely on her intuition to select qualified candidates.

"Celiai's intuition is always right."

This is Fulilian's evaluation of Celia.

Celia's students were all chosen by her based on her own intuition, including Fulilian's master Volame. These students all had outstanding talents, which also proved Celia's unique vision.

Fulilian did not become a first-level magician. Although Fulilian's strength had certainly reached the standard of a so-called first-level magician, she did not meet Volame's expectations of her.

Fortunately, Philen passed the assessment and became a first-level magician, so Ash and Fulilian did not feel sorry. Anyway, as long as they were accompanied by a first-level magician, they could enter the northern plateau. No matter who became a first-level magician or how many first-level magicians there were in the team, it was the same in the eyes of these two people.

I heard that Celie was planning to take Philen as her apprentice. It seemed that she was really satisfied with Philen.

As a result, he was rejected by Philen.

"Confused, Phelan."

After learning about the entire process of the third round of assessment from Philen, Jian said to Philen: "Celiai is Fulilian's master, Volame's master. She is two generations older than Fulilian! That means she is three generations older than you. If you directly become Celie's apprentice, you can directly skip two generations and ride on Fulilian's head!"

"What nonsense are you talking about to Felix, Ash?"

Fulilian had become accustomed to Ash's occasional eccentric behavior, and words like this no longer surprised her.

"Amazing! Philen, you are now a first-level magician."

Hugh Tark praised Philen, "That's a top-level magician, with fewer than 50 of them in the entire world."

"Now that Philen has become a first-level magician, our purpose of coming to Oisard has been achieved."

Fulilian said calmly, "We'll stay here for a few more days, pack up, and then we can set off for the northern plateau."

"The northern plateau must be in utter chaos right now."

Ash continued, "I heard that in the northern plateau, encountering large groups of dragons at once is commonplace."

"...I suddenly don't want to go to the northern plateau anymore. Can I withdraw from the team midway?"

Hugh Turk made a sound that was not encouraging.

Are you kidding? Back then, a single dragon scared Shutark so much that he couldn't move. Now you're telling me that the dragons in the northern plateau appear in large groups?

"Didn't you say you wanted to travel with us and tell your master about your experiences when you return?"

Ash glared at the pale-faced Xiutark and said, "Have some backbone, Xiutark. You're the only boy and the only warrior in the team."

Recalling how he was beaten up by the magician, Ash, using fists and swords a few days ago, Xiutark felt that Ash's words "the only warrior" were full of irony.

"Although the identity of a first-level magician brings many conveniences, it also brings with it a lot of trouble."

Jian continued, "After all, he is the pillar of the mainland Magic Association. I'm afraid we'll receive some very difficult missions from the Magic Association from time to time."

"If Xin Meier were here, he would probably be happy with this. He loves this kind of challenging mission the most."

"I can't argue with that... If I could save some people while completing the mission, Xin Meier would definitely be happier."

"It's Sinmeier after all."

Ash and Fulilian nodded in agreement.

Xutark and Fearon had never seen Sinmel, and their knowledge of Sinmel came from other people's verbal descriptions, so they dared not make any comments.

So, Ash and the others stayed in the magical city of Oisasde for another two days.

When she and Philen first started their journey, if Fulilian came to a place that interested her, she might stay there for ten or eight years. However, this problem has improved a lot now.

Fulilian is also making progress.

"what is this?"

Holding a bottle of potion in a pink bottle in his hand, Ash looked at Fulilian in confusion.

"This is a potion that can only dissolve clothes. Put it here with you first, and don't let Philen see it."

Completely unaware of the changing expression in Jian's eyes, Fulilian said expressionlessly, "I just bought this at the magic item shop here. I plan to give it to Hugh Tark as a birthday present next time. The previous bottle I bought was originally intended for Hugh Tark's birthday, but Phelan poured it out. I absolutely cannot let Phelan see me buying another one."

"...Since you knew that Philen would dump it, then you shouldn't have bought it in the first place."

"Hehehe! You don't understand this, do you? As expected, although you have a high talent in magic, your emotional intelligence is very low. You have no idea how happy Xu Tark will be when he receives this gift."

Looking at Fulilian with her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face, Jian really wanted to splash the potion in his hand on Fulilian's face.

Taking back what I said before, this guy Fulilian is still as stupid as ever and hasn't made any progress at all.

……

29 years after the death of the brave Sinmeier.

Northern plateau Biya region.

"A town like this, nestled amidst endless rice paddies, is truly a beautiful sight. Even the air is thick with the fragrance of rice."

Walking into the town from a winding path, Jian felt as at ease as if he had returned home.

People in our country have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with these golden rice fields.

But when he actually walked on the path in the town, Jian frowned.

"Such a strong smell of alcohol..."

"Because this is not only the only grain-producing area in the northern plateau, but also the area with the most prosperous brewing industry."

When a few people are walking on the road, a hotel will pop up randomly on the roadside, and wooden signs representing pubs are everywhere.

Feilun glanced at Jian, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Master Jian, don't you like wine?"

"Yes, I haven't liked them for a long time... Besides alcohol, there are also cigarettes. Anyway, I never understand why humans are addicted to these two things. In my opinion, they have only disadvantages and no benefits. I feel uncomfortable just by smelling them."

After a pause, Jian looked back at Xutark and Philen and said, "You two should not try alcohol and cigarettes, or you will become bad kids."

"Are you our mother?"

Hugh Turk made a sharp complaint.

Since entering the northern plateau, the frequency of encountering monsters has increased significantly.

After arriving at the new town, Jian and others did not look for a hotel first, but went to a restaurant for a big meal.

After all, in the wild you can only make do with dry bread, but now that you are in town, how can you continue to torture yourself?
