Zongman: I am a god, and my family comes from all realms

Compared to the labyrinth world, the magical attainments of the Frieren world are significantly higher.

In the labyrinth world, wind magic for flight is something only top-tier mages can achieve, and even then, flight isn't as effortless.

In the Frieren world, after thoroughly studying demon flight, flight magic is almost instinctive for mages and is very mature.

Even Lu Li can fly very freely.

As for where these spells come from, they are naturally acquired unintentionally over a long period of time.

Traveling and researching demons always yields some magic.

Elves have such long lifespans.

In over a thousand years, even if he wasn't interested in collecting magic, he would have learned some spells other than explosion magic.

After flying for a while, he suddenly saw a city below, and Lu Li slowly descended, landing outside the city.

At the city gate, people and merchant caravans lined up to be inspected before entering the city.

"Right, there's a fee to enter the city," Lu Li suddenly realized, "The area within a hundred miles of my current body's location has been blasted into ashes, where am I going to get money?"

Moreover, even if it hadn't been blasted into ashes, don't expect an elf to have the habit of collecting wealth.

Elves aren't dragons.

Just look at the impoverished Frieren to see the living conditions of elves.

He rummaged through his robe and pulled out a vial, a healing potion, and walked towards a merchant caravan.

"Excuse me, sir, may I exchange this potion for some money?" Lu Li explained the potion's effects with a smile.

The merchant had already seen Lu Li descending from the sky and quickly said, "Of course, esteemed mage."

He took out a gold coin and offered it with both hands.

"You're too kind," Lu Li nodded in satisfaction, "Please exchange it for ordinary copper coins, thank you."

At least he wasn't being fobbed off with ten copper coins; thank goodness.

He couldn't help but chuckle when he remembered the scene in the anime where Frieren's party was given ten copper coins by the king.

Ten copper coins weren't even enough for a loaf of bread per person.

The merchant waved his hand, and a servant came over, eventually exchanging the gold coin for 98 silver coins and two hundred copper coins.

"Respected mage, this is all the copper coins we have," the merchant said apologetically, "Please don't mind."

Lu Li smiled, "Sir, you're too kind, you've been a great help. How about I give you all some benefits?"

With a thought, white light appeared on his hand, and the next moment, the white light fell on everyone.

The merchant and his party, who were originally tired from traveling, felt refreshed and couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Thank you so much, esteemed mage!"

"Is this magic? It's so amazing!"

"This mage is so kind!"

Amidst the joyful laughter of the crowd, Lu Li not only won hearts but also gained the right to join the caravan.

Even the people behind the caravan didn't mind, because merchants inevitably get injured or sick, and a kind mage is very welcome.

So, during the time they waited in line at the city gate, Lu Li became very popular, healing the injuries of thirty-six guards and the illnesses of thirteen merchants, increasing his assets to 18 gold coins.

The biggest contributors were the merchants, who were very generous to heal their ailments, each giving at least one gold coin.

As for the guards, they were just earning hard money and didn't give much.

After a short period of contact, Lu Li had a rough understanding of the purchasing power of gold coins.

The exchange rate between gold, silver, and copper coins was basically maintained at a ratio of one to one hundred, that is, one gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin could be exchanged for one hundred copper coins.

One gold coin could allow a family of three to live for about a year.

Of course, living for a year here doesn't refer to modern society, eating three meals a day with meat and vegetables.

In this Western fantasy world, ordinary families eat two meals a day during the busy farming season, black bread with vegetable soup, and one meal a day during the off-season, and only vegetable soup, occasionally eating black bread.

Living conditions are comparable to those of ancient Chinese feudal society, in short, quite difficult.

When it was Lu Li's turn, the guards at the city gate didn't make things difficult for him, just asked a few simple questions and let him pass.

Having absorbed the memories of this body, Lu Li wasn't very familiar with this world, but he wasn't completely ignorant either, and he easily dealt with the situation.

He paid five copper coins and entered the city amidst the warm farewells of the merchants.

After entering the city and taking a stroll, Lu Li gained a better understanding of the prices.

Ordinary black bread, half a foot long and the size of a fist, costs five copper coins each; white bread, the same size, costs ten copper coins each. If you buy a gold coin's worth of bread at once, it's even cheaper.

"The money I have is enough for a short time," Lu Li thought, buying a bag of fruit from this world for a few dozen copper coins while strolling around.

Walking to the center of the city, he suddenly saw a bronze statue.

"Himmel?"

The statue's pose was very dramatic, only that slightly narcissistic Himmel would strike such a pose, right?

After asking a passerby, he got the same answer.

Moreover, it had been 19 years since the hero's death.

"It's Himmel Era 19, Frieren and Fern are about to meet, I can go to the Holy City and wait..." Lu Li pondered, making a plan in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a look of panic on the faces of the pedestrians on the street, and their pace suddenly quickened.

"The demons are coming!"

"Run!"

Lu Li grabbed a passerby: "We have so many guards in the city, and a defensive barrier, what's there to fear from one demon coming?"

"It's not one demon, it's a demon army," the passerby was anxious, "Let go of me, I still need to run for my life!"

Lu Li was surprised: "An army?"

He released the passerby and came to the foot of the city wall.

At this time, the city gates were tightly closed, and the soldiers guarding the city looked serious and vigilant.

Seeing Lu Li arrive, they were very wary: "Mage, please stop."

Lu Li exuded divine might: "Soldier, don't be afraid, I'm just here to check the situation."

In an emergency, ordinary people would never be allowed on the city wall.

But under the divine might, the soldiers felt that the person in front of them was more trustworthy than the city lord, and easily allowed Lu Li to walk onto the city wall, even thoughtfully following him and explaining the situation.

"Respected mage, look, those are the demons attacking."

"I don't know what happened, but tens of thousands of demons suddenly涌出来 here, I don't know if we can withstand them."

Speaking of this, the soldier looked worried.

War with the demons is not an ordinary war, because if they lose, humans will be eaten by the demons.

In this world, demons are beasts in human skin, existing in different ecosystems and civilizations.

Eating people is commonplace for demons, just like humans eating pork and beef.

There is no possibility of reconciliation between humans and demons.

"This problem seems to have been caused by me!"

Lu Li looked at the demons in the distance, his heart skipped a beat, "Probably the explosion magic I released earlier scared some of the demons here."

The destruction range of explosion magic is a hundred miles, and the demons within that hundred-mile radius naturally died completely.

But—the demons outside the hundred-mile radius didn't die.

After discovering the hellish scene caused by the explosion magic, they didn't dare stay near there and could only head towards the human city.

Human mages are scary!

But that legendary Demon God is clearly even more terrifying!

PS: I originally wanted to set the timeline before Frieren left the mountains, but in that case, Fern's birth would have to wait nearly a hundred years, which is too long. So, after thinking about it, I decided to revise the plot after Frieren left the mountains.

57. The Elven Mage Who Turns His Back on All Living Things (Fifth Update, Seeking Subscription)

"Little ones, take the human city and we'll have a good rest!"

"If we can't take it, we'll retreat to our old home, and we'll have to face the Demon God. Do you want to go back?"

The demon leader shouted loudly, encouraging the demons.

Demons have no emotions.

This is actually incorrect!

Demons have already formed a race, but they haven't created a corresponding civilization yet.

When they create morality, laws, and culture, they will naturally become the same as humans in this world.

Demons are still in the jungle age, emphasizing the survival of the fittest, the strong are respected, and there is no morality or emotion.

So, they don't think there's a problem with eating people.

The weak should be eaten, that's the rule of the demons.

In fact, they are also afraid and fearful.

In the original work, Aura and other demons were very afraid when facing death.

"We don't want to!"

"We don't want to!"

Many demons changed their expressions and shouted in unison when they thought of the legend of the Demon God and the destruction caused by the Demon God.

Demon leader: "So, attack the city now!"

Demons are naturally strong races, naturally powerful in terms of physical strength and magic. Many human spells are derived from the study of demons.

For them, there is no need for siege equipment to attack the city.

Magic and powerful bodies are the best siege equipment.

"Sir, what do we do?" The soldiers guarding the city panicked.

Tens of thousands of demons, densely packed, a sea of people.

Although this city is not small, it only has thousands of soldiers. Even with the barrier, it is absolutely impossible to defend.

As for waiting for support from other cities, there is no need to even think about it.

By the time the support arrives, their city will have been destroyed and their people killed.

"No need to worry, it's just a small problem."

Lu Li was extremely calm, just a mere ten thousand demons, even if there were a hundred times more, it wouldn't be enough for him to send them off with an explosion spell.

He turned around, facing away from the city wall.

The clear and bright sky suddenly darkened at this moment, and endless magic arrays appeared in the sky, as if hell had descended.

In the city, countless people looked up at the sky, stunned in place.

Below the city, the demons were also stunned.

On the city wall, the soldiers couldn't help but look at that figure, only seeing his back.

Great, invincible, powerful!

"Explosion Magic!"

He gently pointed, and suddenly, endless magic power poured down, like a meteor falling to the ground, smashing into the demon army and exploding.

The soldiers only felt the ground shaking, and quickly grabbed the city wall.

When they came back to their senses, the figure of the mage was gone.

Looking down at the city, the original demon army had disappeared, leaving only a ruin of several miles in radius.

"The demons just disappeared like that?"
