Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

But Fulilian was at the side and said seriously:

"Ash, you should learn to take your time. Don't always be like Master. It's clear that there's nothing important, but you always seem to be urged by something. That's why humans don't live long."

"...I said, these are two different things..." He really didn't want to dwell on this topic, but he still couldn't help but glare at Fulian.

At this moment, Volamei also said with a wry smile: "Fulillian and Master, you are elves, so your actions are different from us; but it is not that too fast actions lead to a shorter lifespan, but that human lifespan is limited. I’m closer to death than you are, so I can’t afford to delay it, so I can only act faster.”

"I still understand this. The only one who doesn't understand is Fulian, right?"

Celie, who had traveled outside for a long time and still lived from the mythical era to the present, shook her head, and then looked at Fulian, who had stayed in the closed elf village since she was a child.

"..."

Fulilian didn't speak, but it wasn't that she agreed, she was just too lazy to object.

Just like the elves' concept of time, no matter what outsiders say, it is difficult to change them. If they tell humans to wait a while, they may still make people wait for decades.

Even if the elves know that the other party is a human, it is difficult to change this cognitive problem. It is also difficult for humans to understand them. Why are they so procrastinating on themselves and humans? Even if they say it, it will not change.

And after this fruitless topic... Even though he was accused of messing up the seniority, Ash was still working tirelessly, learning from Volame and Frillian, and even looked at Celie's speechless eyes. Gu Zi followed them and left the ruins.

But at the end, Sellie reminded her from a distance:

"Ash, I don't care what else you do, but you must not imitate these two guys. They put the cart before the horse and deceive the demons by spending all their time on impractical skills like breath control."

"Isn't it practical...?"

"If the same time was used to practice other skills, Volamei would no longer have to sneak around. It is extremely inefficient to waste time on this kind of thing... Don't let me down too."

"I understand, rest assured."

Ash waved his hand without looking back and accepted it.

At other times, he may just deal with Celie, but in this regard, he is different from the master and apprentice. He is more inclined to Celie's point of view. He only intends to control his breath a little under normal circumstances, and there is no need to exercise. What a waste of time exercising this control.

Because...rather than making unexpected sneak attacks, he prefers to spend time strengthening himself and then crushing the enemy head-on.

...

....

...

(PS: According to what Celie said a thousand years later, Fulian would be several times stronger than she is now if she did not spend a lot of time training to hide her breath... But she also relied on hiding her breath to defeat many powerful enemies. Just like The Demon King is powerful enough, but he can also see his true strength at a glance, and humans can see it a little bit.

I always feel like...it's not easy to evaluate.

Finally, I would like to ask for some monthly votes to support newcomers and new books~ Forget about blades, after all, this book is not full-time...)

The Buried Fulian·Thousand Years to Present: Chapter 29 The Time and Space Repatriation of the Goddess

Compared to Ash's pursuit of the unknown, Volamei has no interest in exploring ruins, and he also has no enthusiasm for treasure chests.

Because in her opinion, the knowledge gained from Celie could not be compared to exploring the ruins in this life. Instead of wasting time exploring the ruins, it is better to realize her dream - to let all mankind learn magic.

For this reason, Volamei even decided not to go back to see his mentor if he couldn't complete his goal... to spur his actions.

And this is also because, compared to five hundred years after Ash was born, humans in the world now regard magic as a demon technology, and public research is also considered taboo.

Before returning to Celie, she had already convinced the emperor of the empire, which occupied most of the continent, and began to educate court magicians for the empire.

However, Ash and Fulilian did not participate. They were just guests and sightseeing in the imperial capital. Ash occasionally went to sit in and consolidate some basic knowledge.

And several years passed like this in the blink of an eye.

The days were uneventful. Even in the imperial capital of the empire, unexpectedly there were no legendary palace battle scenes. Perhaps it was Volamei who had solved these problems.

After all, her status was not unexpectedly high. Even if Ash chose to climb over the wall when he was lost and accidentally entered the emperor's harem, he was not held accountable. He was only prohibited from climbing over the wall in the palace from now on, and was required to carry Take note of the map of the palace.

Apart from that little interlude, Ash and Fulian often sparred. In addition, Ash would go outside the city from time to time to find suitable targets for actual combat.

And one morning on an ordinary day, Ash pried open the door of Fulilian's room with ease...

"——It's already morning. We made an appointment to hunt monsters together! Fulilian, don't fall asleep."

Ash ruthlessly lifted off Fulian's quilt, intending to force her to fulfill the agreement and go hunting together in the city.

However, Fulilian skillfully turned over and turned her back to him. She took out a new quilt from the bed and covered herself with it without even opening her eyes.

Not only did she not feel like getting up at all, she also raised a hand and waved it feebly:

"I said...it must be in the afternoon...please...let me sleep for another...five days...five days..."

"...Is that really the case? But, Fulilian." In her unexpected state, she asked Ash to sit on the bedside, took away her quilt again, and urged in distress: "Imperial City is so It’s big, and the area with monsters is far away. It’s almost midnight when we leave at noon, so it’s better to go out in the morning?”

"...No...you should...kill me..."

"...You are so lazy." Seeing the way she accurately pulled out a new quilt from the side closet and covered it with her without even opening her eyes, Ash always felt as if he had accidentally exercised her strange abilities.

But seeing Fulilian being so reluctant, he worried for a moment, then gave up the plan of picking her up and leaving. He shook his head helplessly, then turned and left: "....Forget it, I'll go by myself. "When you wake up, remember to tell Volamei that I'm out."

"Ah...I understand...thank you, be careful on the road...see you tonight..."

Until the end, Fulian didn't open her eyes, she just muttered feebly, vague words like mumbling in her sleep, then she tightened the quilt around her body and fell asleep again happily.

After Ash closed the door for her, he regretfully prepared to leave alone, but...

Only two minutes after leaving Fulilian's room, he suddenly felt something abnormal in the corridor.

It was as if... the whole world was rejecting his own illusion, and even the surrounding space began to become distorted inexplicably.

"Do you want to throw me out of this time and space? I thought there was no time limit for traveling through time and space, but...is it the origin of the world, or is it an anti-travel restriction left by the goddess?"

Ash had discussed the idea of ​​traveling through time and space with Celia, so he probably understood that it was not impossible to travel through time and space in this world.

But that is the right that belongs exclusively to the goddess and is occupied by the goddess.

It’s just that after the chaos of the mythical age, the goddess seemed to have left this planet and disappeared without a trace.

Only the "Goddess's Stone Tablet" left over from the mythical era still contains the power she sealed within it, which may trigger the effect of traveling through time and space.

....But to be honest, he really couldn't understand what the specific situation was, but he felt that the feeling of rejection was more like sending himself back rather than annihilating himself.

It was in this state that he realized that he could not stay here for too long, so he took out the long knife from his waist and planned to leave some information on the ground.

But just as the blade of the blade touched the ground, the surrounding space and time suddenly distorted, causing him to abruptly disappear from the aisle in the next moment, without even leaving a scratch.

............................

At noon, Fulian, who liked to stay in bed, got up. When she was about to have lunch, she found...

"...Where is Ash training his magic again?" She glanced at the empty place next to her, but she didn't pay much attention.

Ash would often go out to practice magic, and would even go to the imperial capital to find monsters to practice with in order to seek actual combat... Volamei was also very aware of this, and he was not too worried either, just muttering to himself in a daze:

"But normally he would say it... Why haven't you told anyone today?"

"Maybe you found someone at random, and then the person forgot about it, right?"

"....Too."

Volame nodded vaguely. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.

It was at this time that Fulilian suddenly said "Ah!", remembering that she seemed to have heard his voice while half asleep in the morning, and asked him to take away the quilt.

It's just that I didn't wake up at all at that time and completely forgot about these things.

When Volamei looked at her, she shook the fork in her hand and said:

"I remembered that that guy asked me to hunt monsters with him this morning."

"Are you going to hunt monsters again?"

"Although he is still young, he is not weak. Master, there is no need to worry. He will be back in the evening."

"Well, you have a point."

After receiving this answer, Volamei felt a little relieved, but she didn't know why... there was still a lingering strange sense of disobedience that lingered in her heart.

The Buried Fulian·Thousand Years to Present: Chapter 30 News of Death

At the beginning, after receiving Fulian's evidence, Volamei felt a little strange, but he was not too worried about what would happen.

But for some reason, Ash still didn't come back the next day.

Of course, this happens occasionally when something happens. Although he may be a little injured afterwards, he will come back unscathed in the end.

After all, when Ya Xiu's strength is normal, there is really no need to worry, but on the third day, the fourth day, or even a month later, two months later...

They thought he suddenly left without saying goodbye, but when they went back to Celie, they found that he had not returned here at all.

At Volame's request, the emperor also sent people to conduct a search, but still no results were found.

The empire even investigated all the people named Ash in the country, but no one matching the characteristics was found at all. There was no news about him at any checkpoint in the empire.

It was as if Ash suddenly evaporated from the world, disappearing completely without any sign of his appearance again.

Just like that, fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Volame fulfilled his dream...and died.

According to her will, Fulilian returned to the unchanged underground ruins with her suicide note after a long absence.

The world around us is constantly changing, but this palace full of books and the elf girl on the throne are like a corner forgotten by time, quietly existing to witness the changes in history and the times, but she and I Generally no changes are seen initially.

Even Fulian who came to visit... was no different from the old days.

"...Frillian, I thought it was Ash." Celie, who was still sitting on the throne like a squat, looked down at the familiar girl below, and said slightly mockingly:

"If I'm not mistaken, you should hate me very much. Why did you come to my place alone? To be honest, I thought we would never see each other again."

"Ash is probably dead... Even if he is alive, he will probably die like the teacher."

"... Are they dead? That's it." Fulian brought the news of the death of two apprentices at once, which made Cellie stunned for a moment, but then she smiled:

"It's been half a century since you last came here... and there's been no news about him? Really? Is he dead?"

"....Aren't you sad?" Fulilian asked expressionlessly at the foot of the steps.

"I'm just a disciple of the whim sect." Sailie made a casual move, causing the suicide note in Fulian's hand to fly up automatically, and she asked back without raising her head:

"It's you, they should be the people closest to you, right? Aren't you sad that both of them are dead?"

"Are you sad? I... don't know." With a slightly hollow emotion, Fulian lowered her head sadly and murmured softly:

"Now that I think about it...whether it's the teacher or Ash, I still don't understand a lot...just, just...if I agreed to go out with him at that time, probably...he would also It won’t disappear suddenly, will it?”

"What, are you crying?"

"I don't know... I just feel a little empty in my heart... I have been thinking about this for the past fifty years... all the time..."

Obviously, she didn't shed tears when she buried Volamei... I just didn't understand why the people around her were crying. But now, Celie's words made her feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and her eyes became pale. piping hot.

But just when tears flowed down her cheeks for the first time in her life... Celie, who was on the throne with her chin in one hand and looking at the suicide note, suddenly said:

"Although normally Ash should be dead, my intuition tells me that he is still alive?"

"Still...alive?"

"You know, right? My gut."

"....Then you know where it is, right?"

"I don't know, it's just intuition, not divination."

"Aren't you good at magic? Why can't you do divination?"

"As I said last time, that kind of convenient magic has been monopolized by that goddess, and even if it can be used, it will not be effective." When this was mentioned, Celia looked very unhappy.

But Fulilian was confused when she heard this: "...Can this thing be a monopoly?"

"Just think of it as a huge barrier that covers the entire planet. It will be easier to understand this way."

"Just...? What exactly?"

"How do I know exactly? If I knew, I would be a god."
