The sky brightened, but it was still overall gray.
It had stopped raining in the basin Forest.
This was because the barrier had risen again.
It had blocked the rain outside the barrier.
After all, it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be to catch a Stille in the rain without this barrier.
"I'm a little thirsty..." Kanne said in a low voice.
Frieren withdrew her gaze from outside the tree hollow.
She looked at Kanne, and at the birdcage next to Kanne that held the Stille.
Although she didn't know what had happened.
Everything had returned to normal.
But, since the test was still continuing, they had to consider a problem.
That was, whether other teams would be attracted to compete for the Stille in the remaining time.
"Kanne, just bear with it a little longer."
Lawine bit her silver teeth.
If they exposed their whereabouts now because they were thirsty, it would inevitably attract the prying eyes of other Mage teams.
It would be bad if a fight over the Stille broke out then.
Two fists are no match for four hands!
"Okay..."
Kanne lowered her head and responded helplessly.
She muttered under her breath.
"But I'm really thirsty..."
It wasn't just Kanne.
Frieren hadn't had water all day either...
Yesterday, she had also been busy for most of the night looking for the missing Lawine.
Overall, all three of them were actually very thirsty.
"Let's go."
Frieren hesitated for a moment.
She spoke.
"Where to?"
Lawine frowned.
Naturally, she had guessed Frieren's thoughts.
But she was a cautious person.
No matter how she thought about it, she decided that they should endure it a little longer.
Just endure it and it would pass.
"Find some water to drink."
Frieren sighed helplessly.
"But..."
Kanne also hesitated a little.
Her thoughts were very different from Lawine's.
The reason she said she was thirsty was just a habitual complaint.
It was similar to her habit of often bickering with Lawine.
"There are no 'buts'."
Frieren said calmly.
"Since the Stille was caught by Yulian, without us expending any effort..." "Then it would be too much of a free ride if we just kept hiding until the test ended."
Seeing this.
Kanne and Lawine exchanged glances.
They nodded in understanding.
Then the three of them left the tree hollow together and searched for a water source in the Forest.
"So you guys just hid like that all night..."
Übel knelt on the ground in a sorry state.
She looked at Fern and Land in front of her.
Her face was a little depressed.
"Who told you to act rashly."
Land showed a look that said 'you deserve it', but his tone was still calm as he spoke.
"Fortunately, we found you by relying on the magic fluctuations you emitted, Miss Übel."
Fern helped up the disheveled Übel.
She sighed helplessly.
When they followed Übel's revealed magic to find this place just now, it happened to be the time when that huge stone altar dissipated.
The demons circling in the sky also let out a few strange cries and left after the three of them arrived.
"Honestly."
Übel pouted.
She wanted to retort.
But no matter how she looked at it, she deserved it.
However.
"Fern..." Übel suddenly looked at Fern with a complicated gaze.
"What's wrong, Miss Übel."
Fern looked at Übel next to her with a guilty conscience.
She asked in a feigned calm manner.
She knows Yulian is a Demon, right?!
She must know!
After all, this stone altar's Magic and that mana fluctuation!
No matter how you look at it, it's very Mr. Yulian!
"It's nothing."
Übel pursed her lips.
She glanced at Land in front of her.
Finally, she swallowed her words.
Since Yulian hadn't tried to kill her, and had even let these demons protect her all night.
Then she would help him conceal his identity.
"Let's go, find a place to lay low."
"Let's wait for the test to end."
Land adjusted his glasses.
He had naturally noticed Übel's little look.
But he was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of things.
In fact, he was very lazy.
So lazy that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and didn't want to get involved with any troublesome matters.
"Okay."
Fern breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
She was about to follow Land while supporting Übel.
But Übel spoke up.
"Wait..." Übel licked her dry lips.
Her expression was a little haggard.
"Do you have any water?"
Under their puzzled gazes.
Übel sighed and asked.
"Water..."
Fern was stunned for a moment.
Then she shook her head.
Land also remained silent.
"My water bottle was taken by Yulian..." Übel touched her waist.
She complained.
"Honestly, I have no idea when."
"And if he wants to drink water, can't he find it himself?"
"In that case..." Fern's eyebrows drooped.
Since Yulian had stolen Übel's water bottle.
"Let's go find a place to replenish our water supply."
"That's the only way."
Land sighed.
He just felt that troublesome matters were about to follow one after another.
The rustling sound of footsteps rose.
The three of them also started searching for a water source in the Forest.
"It seems things are pretty much handled."
In the sky, Yulian, who had returned to his normal appearance, took out the water bottle from his waist and took a sip of water, then muttered.
"Demon King, are you really not going back yet?"
Linie stood obediently beside Yulian.
Her cute pointed horns on her head had also been revealed when she went to help Solitär fight yesterday, due to the release of Magic.
"If you don't go back, you might regret it~"
Solitär covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
"Regret what?"
Yulian frowned uneasily.
"Not telling you."
Solitär let out a clear laugh and refused.
"Anyway, if you don't go back, you'll regret it."
"Honestly."
Yulian rolled his eyes at Solitär.
That's why he felt comfortable being with Solitär.
Although she was a Demon, Solitär's emotions were no less than a human's.
In fact, in terms of both gentleness and shamelessness, Solitär was even more so than humans!
Gentleness was fine.
It was also a natural trait.
But shamelessness...
Hmph!
Who knows who she learned it from.
"I won't go back yet..." "After all, it's not time yet."
Yulian pondered for a moment and answered seriously.
After all, even if he returned to the Demons now.
The intelligence aspect was not yet in place.
In the vague memories that had been erased and reappeared.
He vaguely remembered that the road Frieren was taking to the Demon King's Castle was not the same as the road he needed to take to return to the Demon King's Castle.
Frieren should be passing through the United Empire later.
In that case.
It wouldn't hurt to also find out about the current situation of this old opponent.
Of course, there was another major reason that Yulian would not say.
That was, he had to go and "serve" Serie for a period of time, how long exactly?
Hmm... It would last until the Mage exam ended.
Until Frieren's team set off again.
"In that case, I'll be going back now?"
Solitär covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
She was looking forward to seeing Yulian's regretful expression later.
His strong emotions, Demon King, always made her feel a strange sensation.
"Wait, Linie will go back with you too."
Yulian grabbed Solitär's hand.
His gaze fell on Linie beside him.
"Don't you like this little Demon very much?"
Solitär's eyes showed a look of curiosity.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better for her to stay and keep you company?"
"I like her, I like her..." "No."
Yulian shook his head.
"I'm in human territory..." "It's already troublesome enough for me to hide my Demons identity alone."
"Linie, you take her back..." Yulian hesitated for a moment.
He looked at Solitär's beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
The words he was originally going to say about sending Linie back to the Demons paused.
It was changed to.
"You just send Linie back to Aura."
"Is that so~"
Solitär smiled gently and nodded.
She thought to herself.
My naturally suspicious Demon King is really smart.
The conversation ended.
Linie obediently waved goodbye to Yulian and then followed Solitär on the journey to Aura's territory.
Yulian, seeing that the entire Mage exam had returned to the right track, just as he had promised Serie, flew towards the City of Magic.
He held the treasure gem in his hand and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
With this given by Serie.
He could use Magic openly from now on.
His mana, after being converted by the treasure gem, could become normal mana.
He would no longer be discovered as a Demon.
Indeed!
Although they hadn't seen each other for several hundred years.
But!
Serie is the second best to him!
