Chapter 94: Chapter 84: In Yili Village, You Can Be Without Money but Not Without Work_3

"Understood, teacher," Saili nodded.

"Go. You possess Shield Magic. I believe that as long as you’re flexible and adaptable, no one on this continent can harm you."

"I understand. Teacher, take care of yourself."

The black-haired girl didn’t leave immediately.

"Teacher, I’ve heard you need to understand the Elf Race for your research on Life Magic."

"Yes. After all, the Elf Race are the longest-lived among the races on this continent. But even Fata’s interactions with the elves are quite superficial. Understanding the secrets of their lifespan is not easy."

"If I encounter elves, I can help you learn more about them."

"That would be good if possible."

"Then remember to list me as a co-author for the research, teacher."

Weasley coughed twice.

"Saili, sometimes I feel you are a bit scheming."

The black-haired girl smiled gently.

"Such an evaluation is the greatest insult to a gentle-type Magical Girl, teacher."

"Sorry..."

"But the traveling elves on the continent are not stupid. Getting information from them is as hard as reaching the sky. You must be careful; the elves you encounter on the human continent claim to be travelers, and their strength is never weak. So be cautious when dealing with them."

"I understand, teacher."

The black-haired girl prepared to leave but paused.

"Oh, teacher, pay attention to health care. Don’t let yourself die before the other six teachers. Since your magic level is on par with theirs, outlive them then."

"Though what you say is quite unsettling, making me face the reality of old age. Yet, this is frank advice. Aging is indeed a fact. I take it as the concern of a student about to travel far for their teacher’s end of life."

"But rest assured, someone who specializes in Life Magic won’t die so easily. I’m still looking forward to becoming the teacher of the Saintess."

"Take care, teacher. Here are 60 bottles of highly pure Water of Life from the Elf Forest. I’m not using them, so they might help with your research or be used as a health tonic."

The black-haired girl took all her stock of Water of Life out of her Storage Ring and placed it on the table.

Weasley waved goodbye to Saili.

Once the platform had only him left, the old mage with a head full of white hair stroked his beard.

"Health care, eh..."

Moments passed.

The old mage used Flying Magic to head towards the lake on the outskirts of Saint Karno City.

...

In front of Yili Village’s entrance.

The black-haired girl slowly lifted her foot in small boots, walking into the village.

She left Fata and came directly here.

If, upon learning this location, she immediately reported it to Weasley and the other Great Mages, troops would surely gather to enclose the place, leaving the Demon King’s Heir no escape.

But doing so would inevitably expose her unauthorized use of Divination Art. As Fata’s highest magic, Divination Art is connected to heavenly secrets; only seven Great Mages can use it at Fata’s top level, and others are strictly forbidden from using it.

If her use were exposed, resulting in the cost of her teachers’ life force, her long-maintained gentle and kind persona would instantly collapse, and she would lose her status as a Fata student.

It wouldn’t just be a problem of failing to compete for the Saintess role; she’d end up imprisoned, with her life possibly at risk.

Moreover, if she didn’t personally capture the Demon King, her actions would be meaningless.

Only by claiming the credit alone could she suppress all competitors.

Based on her research of relevant documents within Fata, the girl rationally guessed that the Demon King’s Heir had only been around for more than two months, generally still questioning his new identity.

He probably didn’t even have a Demon Envoy yet.

So dealing with the Demon King’s Heir herself was the optimal choice.

Pretending like, "[The Magical Girl accidentally stumbled upon the Demon King’s heir’s lair while traveling the continent and managed to bring him to justice]," there’s plenty of such excuses to make up.

Saili thought so, slowly walking into Yili Village’s entrance.

At the moment of stepping into the village, a fresh breeze rose, lifting the mage robe behind her waist.

The girl paused.

There seemed to be a feeling of stepping into an extraordinary place.

The black-haired girl quickly suppressed this strange sixth sense and continued walking into the village.

Looking around, it was just an ordinary small village.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the black-haired girl saw an old man heading quickly towards her, head lowered, hands hidden inside his clothes. But the girl vaguely noticed that the old man’s hands were cuffed.

"How could the handcuffs forged by Yorson break at a crucial moment... must unlock them quickly... What kind of image does the village chief make wandering the village wearing love ○ handcuffs!..."

The old man’s muttering followed as he swiftly passed her.

Love what? Wait, he mentioned he’s the village chief!

The black-haired girl was momentarily stunned, then looked around elsewhere.

Not far away, the gate of the sheepfold began to open slowly, and a villager with an abstract appearance stepped out, pulling up his pants, looking content. Upon seeing her, he became flustered and shivered, running away without looking back.

"Oh no, I got caught!"

Though the scene seemed suspicious, it probably wasn’t what she imagined it to be...

The Magical Girl comforted herself.

At this point, some rustling emerged from the nearby bushes.

She sneaked over and discovered a white-haired girl hiding in the bushes, watching two puppies outside share their dog lives.

Indeed, if one wants to become a fallen Hero, they must occasionally engage with such wicked things.

Lina, who was secretly watching, had a serious expression until she saw the task order in her hand and suddenly jumped up.

"Oh no, I completely forgot about this. Since I’ve been lost for so long, I planned to rest for a while, but I got attracted by cute little animals."

Don’t describe the perverted act of secretly watching dogs x dogs as if it’s so refreshing.

"Excuse me, let me through, or I’ll be late!"

The white-haired girl rushed past Saili, disappearing for a moment and soon reappearing from another direction, running like a wildcat past her four or five times, panting heavily before stopping.

"Sorry, do you know where the village’s granary is? I accepted a commission to clean out mice from the granary this morning, but it seems I haven’t found it yet..."

"From the looks of it, I’m probably a newcomer..."

The black-haired girl Dammy raised an eyebrow.

"If you’re talking about granary-like buildings, I’ve seen some at the back."

"Thanks!"

The white-haired girl, holding a sword, ran towards another direction while using the sword’s tip to draw a trail on the ground.

"As long as I know where I’ve walked, I won’t get lost! It’s the swordsman’s duty to wield the sword at such times!"

Her tone sounds like a swordsman who isn’t very responsible with their sword.

There are swordsmen even in this small village?

Strange, very strange.

"Haha, didn’t expect that, using the excuse of going to the restroom to actually sneak away early is a kind of philosophy too."

At that moment, the clear voice disturbed the black-haired girl again.

Saili looked into the distance and saw a blonde girl hopping happily toward a building resembling an inn.

"Even if caught, one can use excuses like a young girl’s discomfort to get away with it."

Wait! Blonde with pointed ears, it’s an elf! A traveling elf maiden!

The blonde girl’s happiness suddenly dimmed.

"It’s not like I intended to skip class; mainly, school is starting soon, but I haven’t touched any homework yet. Better copy someone else’s when back at school..."

Why worry about homework issues, completely like those mediocre Magical Girls in Fata who pile up vacation homework until the last day.

Standing in place, the black-haired girl was utterly stunned.

Since entering the village, she seemed to have stumbled into many extraordinary occurrences.

Strange villagers... white-haired swordsman... and the elf just now...

The string of strange scenarios left the knowledgeable Magical Girl momentarily unable to respond.

Is the Demon King Heir here as well?

Hiding in a village with swordsmen and elves, is it said that wealth is found amidst danger?

A bold Demon King.

Just when she was about to enter, the Magical Girl hesitated for a while, ultimately choosing to carefully survey the village perimeter to ensure no more bizarre scenes, and only in the evening did she decide to enter the village.
