In the dim light, the shadows of the chairs and tables twisted and elongated, mingling with some swaying dark figures, rustling softly in the silence.Although what Range saw at that time did indeed...Chapter 270: Lan Chi had always played on the edge.

"..."

Lance stared at Zestilla. The words he had almost organized choked him in his throat. (Due to caching reasons, please have users directly access the website through their browser to view the fastest chapter updates.)

You have a big misunderstanding about Talia.

Ranch couldn't help but want to tell her that.

Zesthira actually resembles Talia quite a lot, both being physically strong fighters. Besides their differing magical specialties, their innate magic types are also similar, and even their tone of voice and mannerisms are alike.

It probably doesn't need much effort, just let it develop naturally, and it should be able to become like Talia's demon race in the future.

But Lynch always felt something was off.

Zethira seems to always want to try hard to change herself...

"It is indeed possible to specialize in that way, but that direction is generally favored by demons who manipulate minds and have wicked personalities. Powerful dragon demons rarely choose this path."

Lancer gently told Zira.

This was too far from her idol.

Lance feels like he's not helping, and he's not sure what Zestilara wants to become anymore.

..."

However, Zesthira was a very stubborn person.

After confirming that Ranch had answered with a specialized direction, she decided and wrote the answer on her face.

"Then, go for it."

Lan Qi said with relief.

He will only respect the student's thoughts. He is worried that in the future, Zesthira will discover that her choice was too unrealistic and will regret it.

>

"This specialization is actually simpler. You should focus on researching spirit magic and constantly using your talent to earnestly try and sense other people's emotions. Although I don't know how long it will take to fully evolve, after all, it's the ultimate growth potential of a Demon Race talent, some even comparable to the power of a blood race. As for spell cards, it would be epic level, not easily obtained. Don't be anxious or discouraged by slow progress."

Lance explained to Zira.

>Okay.

Zethira listened humbly, nodding.

But she thought, perhaps the progress of innate magic wasn't as difficult as the teachers said

"Thank you, teacher. I feel like with your guidance, I'm one step closer to my goal."

"..."

After listening to Zesira's answer, Lancy thought and thought, but still felt something was wrong.

Why does Zesthira think Talia excels in acting and smiling, is it due to her natural magical talent or her ability to manipulate emotions and play with people's minds

Lanche's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Wait a moment, Zesthira. Let me ask you first, what do you imagine Talia looks like"

Ranch made a gesture to attract Zestilla's attention.

Upon hearing the question, Zethira's eyes brightened somewhat.

She is very interested in this topic.

She is glamorous, intelligent, and alluring. She is a demon of pure evil and madness, whose harm to the world even surpasses her abilities. Yet, she can control her own heart and desires. Compared to solving problems with force, she is more adept at breaking into the hearts of her enemies, giving them the most cruel curses and tortures!

Zerithila was unusually fired up, clenching her fists as she spoke.

But she soon realized she was overreacting, and coughed lightly.

"It's a pity that her true appearance is not left behind now, only those great demon races who lived for a hundred years and saw her back then can recognize her."

She sighed.

According to the various records she had read about the fates of the last surviving Demon Lords, besides those who disappeared and those imprisoned in the imperial dungeons, the ancient Demon Lord who could probably distinguish Talya's authenticity was only the Ice Witch, Asetheran.

It's a pity that the kingdom of Eth'terre and the Protoss Empire are now on the brink of war, with borderlines closed. It's impossible to visit the Snow Queen and ask her about Talia.

" "

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Rance's expression was filled with confusion and existential doubt.

He didn't discover a serious problem until now.

Talya, worshipped by Celeste, was a figment of her own imagination!

And this Talia, who seems like a fictional character, there's actually someone in the real world who fits her description and looks exactly like her!

If this is the image of Talya in the eyes of later generations in the Northern Continent, wouldn't the Talya played by the Great Love Poet be more in line with the artistic imagination of orc teenagers about her

On the contrary, Talia herself, that old thing, has already been left behind by the times.

"Zethira, I ask you, do you think the Tallia you imagine has leadership qualities"

After pondering the situation and organizing his thoughts, Lan Qi seriously asked.

She is the chosen demon lord!

And Zethira, rarely so animated, seemed stirred.

"That's how it is... That's how it is!"

Lanche clenched his fist, pounding it against his palm, his eyes gradually brightening with a glimmer of understanding.

Actually, to say that one commands the demon race, the first step is to create a charismatic and influential leader image for the legitimate demon princess.

Lanche finally knew why his dream of rebuilding the Inferno Corridor Academy had been stuck, unable to get started, every step an insurmountable hurdle.

It turns out optimizing Talia first would have worked.

She is the most unnecessary person in the starting job!

...until he helped Talya shape the new image of the northern continent after the Saint War's centenary, stopping at the point of founding the academy and letting the demon race become a branch of the Esthilan Kingdom that believed in love and peace.

By then, even if Talia found out, I would have returned to the Northern Continent and discovered that this image had already been accepted by the demon race. To meet the expectations of the demon subjects, she would only have two choices before her.

Alternatively, accept this new persona and strive to be a charmingly innocent, perpetually mischievous poet of love, trying to wrest control from Lance.

Or, return to the south continent to retire.

Lanche had figured out that Talia would definitely choose the latter.

He truly couldn't imagine how Talia, a centuries-old demon matriarch who never smiled, could possibly pull off a youthful pose.

Unless her state of mind underwent a change that was beyond description.

If she really chose to play the role of a great poet, enduring humiliation and hardship to achieve national reunification, Lan Qi dared not imagine what kind of revenge he would suffer after her success.

However, this kind of thing is impossible.

"……"

Zesthira glanced at Ranchi and continued walking beside him along the path next to the Endless Library. They passed under the Starry Theatre and headed towards the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

She felt, for some reason, that Lynch might have been thinking about something indistinguishable from suicide just now.

But he himself seemed utterly oblivious, even enjoying it.

Ranch's mind occasionally becomes abnormally active, Zethira has noticed.

Staying by his side is beneficial for the evolution of innate magical talent.

But Celaena Sardothien didn't want to tell him, because if she did, he probably wouldn't be so naturally and frequently bursting with ideas.

Wait until your talent in magic has fully developed before telling the teacher about this.

Anyway, he won't lose anything even if he finds out later.

Zethira thought with certainty.
