SEC Chapter 3 One Month
Chapter 3 One Month
"They're pursuers."
Vlame glanced at the three people behind him out of the corner of his eye, his expression calm.
"They seem to be even stronger than the general that Frillie just killed."
"Hmm." Shi Chen knew how formidable Vlame was, so he nodded gently, showing no fear.
Frillie remained expressionless and silent.
"What an interesting bunch," Vlame chuckled softly as he looked at the three demons.
"They had completely eliminated their magic just now, trying to ambush us from behind... but as soon as they realized that we were also mages, they immediately sacrificed themselves. Demons may be despicable and cunning, but no matter what kind of demon they are, they are all extremely arrogant about their utterly boring magic."
Vlame's magic barely enveloped his entire body, but each of these three demons possessed more magic than Frilian, which was why they had appeared.
The demon in the middle, wearing a helmet that looked like ram's horns, ignored Vlame's mockery and addressed Shichen, warning, "Human, put down that female elf."
"Dream on!" Shi Chen arrogantly refused.
With Vlame around, he wasn't afraid of those three demons at all; after all, he was her disciple.
It's still quite enjoyable to borrow the tiger's power.
"If we let her go, will you let us go?" Vlame asked.
"All the elves must be killed. This is the Demon King's order. Your life is of no importance," the demon replied.
"Yeah?"
Vlame smiled and stood before the hour.
"Frilian." She turned to look at Frilian: "Indeed, I know very well what powerful mages are thinking. I am also fully aware of what these guys are thinking. They are full of arrogance and confidence in the magic they have studied so far. In other words... they are full of trashy arrogance and carelessness."
boom--!
No sooner had Vlame finished speaking than an explosion rang out, and before the demons could react, they were struck by her magic.
Before Vlame, a giant crater slowly appeared after the smoke dissipated, and the three demons who were originally in the crater were reduced to ashes and quickly disappeared.
This is Vlame's true strength!
With a casual strike, he instantly killed three demons at the general level.
Frillie, who was lying on the back of the clock, stared in shock.
"Frilian," Vlame said softly, his back to Shichen and Frilian, "unlike you, they don't seem to see me as a threat."
"..." Frillie was speechless at this moment, because the magical power emanating from Vlame was much greater than hers.
Vlame turned to look at the two and continued, "These guys were excellent mages, but they lost their lives because of their carelessness."
"...By restricting the release of external magical power, so that the opponent cannot accurately judge the strength of the magic?" Frilian murmured to herself. She finally understood why she had felt that Vlame was much stronger than her before.
"That's right." Vlame nodded slightly: "To make the opponent misjudge the strength of one's magic, and then use that to kill them... This is a despicable and terrible way of fighting, manipulating noble and sacred magic at will."
"Should I learn this magic?" Frilian was no longer opposed to becoming Vlame's apprentice.
"Yes." Vlame looked intently at Frilian: "I want you to practice this magic continuously."
Vlamé's first lesson with Frilian began, while the time between them seemed to disappear.
He initially mistakenly believed that he had killed the demons, but now he cares so much about Frilian.
Fortunately, the time doesn't matter... just kidding!
Afterwards, Shichen and Frilian followed Vlamé back to her residence and began their studies in magic.
This should have been a perfect start, but Shi Chen had no magic power and was unable to cultivate.
After a few days, Vlame began to doubt whether she had misjudged Shichen at the beginning. Apart from his appearance and temperament, Shichen was nothing but a magic idiot.
How can you learn magic if you don't even have magic power?
But since she had already accepted him as a disciple, it wouldn't be right to expel him from the sect, so she decided to just let him stay.
After all, this guy's cooking skills are pretty good.
Frillie was very talented and picked up magic very quickly, which pleased Vlame.
And so the three of them began their simple life.
half a month later.
In the forest, a dark figure darted swiftly through the branches, as agile and nimble as an ape, without needing any vines.
The dark figure stopped on a thick branch, revealing its true form.
Shi Chen cautiously gazed at the gray-furred wild rabbit under the tree, his eyes narrowing slightly, and slowly raised his right hand, which was holding the stone.
Taking advantage of the wild rabbit's back being turned to him, he swiftly and cleanly threw the stone in his hand at it.
Snapped!
The stone struck the hare precisely on the back of the head, killing it instantly and leaving it lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Shichen jumped down from the tree, grabbed the rabbit, looked it over, and laughed.
"It's quite plump. Lunch is ready. Let's make some stewed rabbit soup."
Shichen carried the rabbit and headed back home.
For the past two weeks, Shi Chen has spent his time either watching Frilian practice magic or going hunting.
Since he couldn't practice magic, he could only take care of his master and junior sister's daily lives.
He had special privileges for this mission, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of them. Besides, he suspected that the privileges were given to him so that he could do this kind of thing.
Although obtaining the fragments of divinity requires gaining Frilian's trust, trust will naturally develop as long as people stay together. Frilian is still so innocent that he doesn't need to do anything extra.
But they're just too naive; it would be nice to take care of them.
When Shichen returned to his residence, he found only Frilian sitting outside with her eyes closed, meditating. His master, Vlame, had disappeared again.
Not the first time either.
Their dwellings should be small, simple bungalows, surrounded by flower fields, filled with fragrance every day.
The small house has three rooms in total, one of which is the kitchen.
Frillie and Vlame slept together.
There was originally only one room, but since this man was there, there was definitely an extra room. After that, he had Vlame set up a kitchen, which was done in just a few minutes.
Magic is really convenient.
Instead of rushing to the kitchen to cook, Shi Chen came to Frilian's side and stared down at her delicate face.
Before long, Frilian couldn't stand it anymore and opened her eyes. She didn't show any expression, but she glanced down at the rabbit in his hand.
"Is it rabbit again today?" Frilian asked indifferently, but her tone seemed to carry a hint of disdain.
This is the tenth day we've eaten rabbit.
"There's nothing I can do, I could only find rabbits. Look how plump they are." Shichen handed the rabbit to Frilian.
She closed her eyes, refusing to look: "I'm an elf, why am I always eating this?"
"Weren't you enjoying your meal at first?"
Frillie: "..."
"We're not roasting rabbit today, we're making soup instead."
"Soup?" Frillie opened her eyes again.
"It's delicious," Shi Chen said confidently.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
"Trust my cooking skills." Shi Chen reached out his other hand and patted her head.
Frillie has tied her hair into pigtails, which Shichen helped her do; she looks even cuter this way.
Frillie ignored his wicked hand. She noticed that Shichen seemed to really enjoy touching her head. After the first time he ruffled her hair for no reason, he became even more brazen about it.
Is this interesting?
"By the way, Frilian, don't you find this boring?" Shichen suddenly asked.
"It is a bit boring." Frilian nodded gently.
"Then why do you still practice every day? You elves have very long lifespans."
"Perhaps... I like magic," Frilian said calmly.
"I like magic, I like magic too, it's so convenient." Shichen laughed.
"Time..." Frillian looked at him and pursed her lips.
"Call me Senior Brother!" Shi Chen gave her head a good rub before going to the kitchen to cook.
Frilian watched his figure disappear before slowly closing her eyes and continuing her cultivation.
Vlame did not return immediately, and Shichen and Frilian enjoyed a rabbit soup all to themselves.
This was the first time Shichen had made it, and Frilian ate it with great satisfaction, after all, it wasn't that greasy roasted rabbit anymore.
But in the following days, Shichen made rabbit soup several more times, and Frillie got tired of it again.
Although the dishes are different, it's still rabbit after all. She can't stand eating rabbit every day.
He doesn't like to cook vegetables because he doesn't like to eat them.
Frillie can't cook herself and can only rely on the time, so she decided to sacrifice her brain and let him massage her a little longer.
I'm going to throw up if I eat rabbit again.
Vlame was away for quite a while this time; he hadn't returned for more than half a month.
For the past two weeks, Shi Chen and Frilian have been enjoying time alone together, and he has been taking care of her every day, so trust is naturally there for them.
One morning, when that mechanical voice rang out, Shi Chen realized that he had already spent a month here.
[Mission complete. Please retrieve the divine fragment from the target as soon as possible.]
