"..."

Lan Qi looked at Zestira, the words he had almost organized suddenly stuck in his throat again.

Girl, your misunderstanding of Talia is huge.

Lan Qi couldn't help but want to tell her this.

Zestira was already very similar to Talia. Both were combat-type fighters. Apart from the fact that they were good at completely different types of magic, their innate magic was similar, and even their tone and expression were alike.

Probably without much effort, just by developing naturally like this, she should be able to become a demon like Talia in the future.

But Lan Qi always felt that something was wrong.

Zestira always seemed to be thinking about changing herself...

"It is indeed possible to specialize in this way, but this direction is generally a branch that demons who play with minds and have nasty personalities are good at. Dragon demons who are good at force rarely choose this."

Lan Qi told Zestira euphemistically.

This was too far from her idol.

Lan Qi felt that helping was not helping, and not helping was not helping. He was a little unsure of what Zestira wanted to become.

"..."

However, Zestira had a very stubborn personality.

After confirming that Lan Qi had answered that there was such a specialization direction, she made up her mind and wrote the answer on her face.

"Then, good luck."

Lan Qi said with relief.

He would only respect his students' ideas. What he worried about was that Zestira would regret it in the future if she found that her choice was too contrary to her wishes.

"It's actually easier to specialize in this way. You should study mental magic more and try to perceive other people's emotions carefully with your talent. Although I don't know how long it will take to complete the evolution, after all, the demon talent that has been finally developed, some can even be comparable to the authority of the blood clan. Changing it to a spell card is also epic level. It's not so easy to get, so don't be impatient or discouraged because of slow progress."

Lan Qi explained to Zestira.

"Okay."

Zestira listened humbly and nodded.

However, she felt that maybe the progress of her talent magic wasn't as difficult as her teacher said?

"Thank you, teacher. I feel that after your guidance, I am one step closer to my goal."

"..."

After listening to Zestira's answer, Lan Qi still felt something was wrong as he thought about it.

Why did Zestira think that Talia was good at acting and smiling, and that her talent magic was of the type that controlled emotions and played with minds?

Lan Qi's slightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed a little.

"Wait, Zestira, let me ask you first, what does Talia look like in your imagination?"

Lan Qi made a gesture to Zestira to attract her attention.

Hearing the question, Zestira's eyes brightened slightly.

She was very interested in this topic.

"She is gorgeous, rational and moving. She is the most evil, the most wicked, and the most insane demon. Her harm to the world even exceeds her talent, but she can control her heart and desires. Compared with using force to solve problems, she is better at breaking through the enemy's heart and giving the enemy the most cruel curses and tortures!"

Zestira rarely got a little excited, and clenched her fists when she spoke.

But she quickly realized that she had been a little too expressive and coughed lightly twice.

"It's a pity that there are no real portraits of her left. Only those great demons who have lived for hundreds of years and have seen her can recognize her."

She sighed.

According to the books she had read about the endings of the last few surviving great demons, except for the great demons whose whereabouts were unknown and the great demons in the imperial prison, the ancient demons who could recognize Talia's true identity were probably only the Ice Witch of Aisetelan.

It was a pity that the Kingdom of Aisetelan and the Protoss Empire were on the verge of war, and the border lines were all blocked, so it was impossible to see the Ice Witch and ask her about Talia.

""

Lan Qi's expression was full of confusion and doubt about life.

It was not until now that he realized a serious problem—

The Talia that Zestira worshiped was completely imagined by her!

And this Talia, who seemed to be fictional, actually had an existence that met the conditions and looked exactly like her!

If Talia's image in the eyes of later generations in the Northern Continent was this, then wouldn't the Talia played by the Great Poet be more in line with the demons' image of her?

On the contrary, Talia herself, the old thing, had been eliminated by the times.

"Zestira, let me ask you, do you think the Talia in your imagination has leadership charisma?"

After Lan Qi pondered and clarified the situation, he asked seriously.

"She is the chosen demon king!"

Zestira was rarely a little more excited.

"So that's how it is... so that's how it is!"

Lan Qi clenched his fist and hammered his palm, his eyes gradually brightening as he realized something.

In fact, if you want to command the demons, the first step is to create a cohesive and appealing leader image for the demon princess who has the qualifications of the proper heir.

Lan Qi finally knew why his dream of rebuilding the Purgatory Corridor Academy was like being stuck and unable to start.

It turned out that it would be better to optimize Talia first.

She was the most unnecessary existence in the starting work!

When he helped Talia shape a new image in the Northern Continent a hundred years after the Holy War, he would stop at the point of building the school and let the demons become a branch of the Aisetelan Kingdom that believed in love and peace.

By then, even if Talia knew about it and rushed back to the Northern Continent, she would find that this image had been accepted by the demons. In order to respond to the expectations of the demon subjects, she would only have two choices.

Either, accept this new persona and try to play the role of a girlish, sly, and smiling Great Poet to take over the dominance from Lan Qi.

Or, return to the Southern Continent to continue her retirement.

Lan Qi was sure that Talia would choose the latter.

He really couldn't imagine how Talia, this centuries-old demon hag who never smiled, could make a girlish appearance.

Unless her mentality had undergone an indescribable change.

If she really chose to play the role of the Great Poet and complete the great cause of national restoration with humiliation, Lan Qi couldn't imagine what kind of revenge he would suffer after she succeeded.

But this kind of thing was impossible.

"..."

Zestira glanced at Lan Qi and continued to walk with Lan Qi on the road next to the Endless Library, passing under the Starry Sky Theater, and heading towards the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

For some reason, she felt that Lan Qi might have been thinking about something that was no different from suicide just now.

But he himself didn't seem to realize it at all, and even enjoyed it.

Lan Qi's psychology was occasionally unusually active, Zestira had already discovered.

Staying by his side was beneficial to the evolution of talent magic.

But Zestira didn't want to tell him about this, otherwise he probably wouldn't come up with strange ideas so naturally and frequently.

Tell the teacher about this after my talent magic is completed.

Anyway, he won't lose anything if he knows later.

Zestira thought with certainty.
