I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 135 Goodbye Aura 3

"I remember during the battle between Aura and us, almost all of her men were wiped out, and she herself disappeared without a trace."

Unexpectedly, she had regained her strength twenty-eight years ago and had been engaged in a long-term battle with the city's army.

Frilian didn't expect Aura to appear here. Back when they fought Aura, Shi Yichen was already with Celia.

Despite being one person short, they still managed to defeat Aura, but she managed to escape in the end. Unexpectedly, she managed to escape again.

"I heard that this time the Aura side got tired of the meaningless fighting and sent envoys to request peace talks. I wonder if that's true."

Philon felt that the three demons must have had other purposes for entering the city, but the count really believed that the three demons had come to negotiate.

"What I didn't expect was that the count actually let the demons into the city. What a bad move. Talking to the demons is a waste of effort."

Frillie could already picture the city being breached by the demons; she wondered what that count was thinking.

"It's not like we're wasting our time! Languages ​​are the same, so wouldn't it be better to solve the problem through communication?"

Shutark's thinking is still relatively simple. Because he has only been out in the workforce for a short time and has not yet been hardened by society, he sometimes says things that are still quite naive.

"That's why I said it's a waste of effort, because it can't be solved. Demons are man-eating monsters. Have you ever thought about why they speak the same language as humans?"

Frilian looked at the innocent-looking Shutark and thought back to when Philon was just like that.

"How would I know that?"

Shutark shook his head. He really didn't understand these principles. He had never even seen a demon before, and he had only heard his master talk about the others.

"For them, 'language' is a means to deceive humans. The great mage Flame defines talking monsters as demons."

Their ancestors were a special kind of monster that lurked in the shadows, mimicking cries of "Help!" to lure and capture humans.

Frilian said seriously to Philon and Shutark, "There is not a single good person among the demons. If you believe what the demons say, then you are not far from death."

Just like Count Granat, who truly believed that the three demons had come to negotiate, the city began its countdown the moment he let them in.

"It's so cold."

After listening to what Frilian said, Philon and Shutark suddenly felt a chill, because the demons Frilian described were too terrifying. If Frilian hadn't said so, Philon and Shutark might have thought that the others had really come to negotiate.

"But this city wasn't attacked by the demons, was it?"

Shutark looked at the intact city wall, without a single trace of damage.

"Because the city is surrounded by a very strong protective barrier, I estimate that the three demons entered the city to break through this barrier."

Shi Yichen said to the three of them, "As soon as we entered the barrier, we felt that the method of creating the barrier was very familiar. I guess it was left by our teacher, Flame, when she traveled across the continent."

“That’s right. Once the barrier is broken, Aura will lead her army of undead to attack the city.”

After Shi Yichen said that, Frilian also thought of Aura's plan. As expected, the demons are not trustworthy. Under the guise of peace talks, they entered the city to destroy the barrier. That's interesting.

"Then this city must be in great danger."

When Philon heard what Shi Yichen and Frilian said, he immediately felt a sense of unease. In that case, the entire city would be slaughtered by the demons.

"That's right, this is the result of believing in the demon race."

Frilian calmly looked at Philon and Shutark, trying to dissuade them from having any illusions about the demons. Demons were just talking monsters, and they were all inherently man-eating creatures.

…………

the other side.

Mansion.

"Count Granat, why haven't you arrived yet?"

The male demon's lackeys were already impatiently waiting here.

"This must be a diplomatic tactic employed by humans. I'm more concerned about the mage than him; I think I've seen her before."

"Uncommunicative beasts," she described it perfectly. "In this city, only they understand the true nature of us demons. There's only one reason why these man-eating predators would speak human language."

The demon leader paid no attention to the count, though he was still somewhat useful. Once they obtained the item to break the city's barrier, they could kill him.

However, what he cared about most were the mage and the human beside her, because the way they both looked at the three demons was strange. One looked like she was laughing at them, and the other had murderous intent towards them.

…………

"This language is not used for mutual understanding, but for deceiving each other, and this city is doomed."

Frilian told Philon and Shutark that if the count didn't let the demons into the city, their city would be invincible because of the protective barrier that would prevent the demons from entering.

"So we're just going to stand by and watch the city fall?"

Shutark looked at Shi Yichen and the other two. Although the count's attitude wasn't very good, as fellow humans, he would help if he could.

"I can help, but we need to agree on the terms first. As long as the compensation is right, everything is negotiable."

Frilian is a master at this kind of thing. Give her a few more magic books, and she'll kill even the Demon King, let alone Aura.

"But that count won't listen to us now, will he?"

Philon looked at Frilian. After all, they were just outsiders, and the count was now only interested in peace talks, so nothing they said would make a difference.

"Now we can only wait and see if he can discover the demons' intentions."

…………

“Count Granat is already waiting here.”

A group of guards led three demons to the door of a room, pushed open the door, and let the three demons in.

"here it is?"

Lugner looked at the portrait in the room and then looked at Count Granat with a puzzled expression.

"It was in my son's room. He was very promising and said he would inherit the family business as soon as possible so that I could live out my old age in peace. At that time, he really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Count Granat looked at the portrait of his son on the wall, his eyes filled with sadness, especially at the longsword on the table.

"This is the sword His Majesty bestowed upon him during the martial arts competition before the Emperor."

Count Granat picked up the longsword, and seeing it was like seeing his own son.

"Where is your son now?"

Although Lugner had guessed a little, he couldn't show it.

"He died in the battle with Awula ten years ago."

Count Granat drew his sword, which had several cracks on its blade.

"Shh!"

The count turned and pointed his longsword at Lugner's neck.
