The destruction of the Senate headquarters was a major event that shocked the entire magical world, so the presidents of each guild attached great importance to this meeting, and the participants were more complete than in previous meetings.

Compared with the famous large guilds, various small and medium-sized guilds appear to be more active.

Being small means that the ability to resist risks is relatively weak, and they eagerly hope that the guild alliance can bring them some sense of security.

Rhodes and Makarov had a long journey. It was already that afternoon when they arrived at the venue, and almost all the presidents were already there.

The situation was serious, so we simply skipped the greetings and lunch today, and headed to the conference room as soon as everyone arrived.

Makarov took a rare moment of seriousness and assumed the position of chairing the meeting without hesitation.

Rhodes thoughtfully handed a chair to his president, then retreated to a corner in a low-key manner, reducing his presence.

It's just that the scene where Rhodes and his companions beat up Lala Bai last time was too shocking, and many people's eyes still drifted towards him unconsciously.

Makarov was a little smaller, but he cleared his throat very powerfully after standing on the chair, successfully attracting the attention of the presidents.

"Everyone must have heard about the incident at ERA (Evaluation Council Headquarters). We just have a few clues about the culprit."

Facing the inquiring gazes of the presidents, Makarov waved his hand: "Rhode, tell me."

Although he had already listened to the children's narration, Makarov felt that what he said was definitely not as accurate as those who had experienced it.

"..." Let's just say it. Anyway, this is not the first time to speak in front of so many presidents. Rhodes is not afraid of the stage and talks clearly about the Tower of Paradise.

"Let's talk about the main point first. We had previously suspected that there was a mole in the Senate, but we never found out. That person is one of the Senate members, Chikeline."

There was an uproar in the conference room. They never imagined that the reviewer could be a spy.

Naturally, some people couldn't believe it and asked how Rhodes knew.

Rhodes gave a brief summary of the Tower of Paradise, but of course omitted some detailed information.

Including the matter of summoning the mountain dragon, and the matter of Erza's companions.

"In short, Jellal's biggest purpose of infiltrating the Council is to obtain enough magic power to activate the R system and to find candidates who can be used as living sacrifices.

Maybe he has inextricable connections with the Dark Guild and the Black Magic Order, but there's no way to prove it.

In addition, I heard that there is a council member named Ullutia who is very close to him, and there may be a problem. This will only be clear after asking other council members."

Goldman asked: "What about Gerald?"

"I don't know, he fell into the sea after he was seriously injured by us. Due to the influence of the magical elves, the wind and waves were too strong last night, so we don't know his current whereabouts."

The conference room became quiet.

It's the R system, it's Zeref, and it's the magic elf. What Rhodes just said was a bit too informative.

And many people slowly came around to it.

Something's wrong, that Zekeline, no, Jellal, in addition to his status as a council member, he seems to be one of the Ten Great Magicians, right?

So, several young people from Fairy Tail killed a Holy Ten without Makarov arriving?

Many people's eyes changed when they looked at Makarov. They knew that you were the number one guild in Fiore, but your strength was too exaggerated.

Even if we don't mention Jellal, we still have the record of annihilating the notorious killer team of Three Feathered Crows.

If an ordinary small guild encountered Three Feathered Crows, even the guild leader would be killed.

Where did Makarov find so many outstanding young people?

Rhodes was also looked at with a lot of admiration or admiration, and was probably regarded as the commander of this battle.

But he only felt it was a pity that because the ERA stopped operating, he could not receive the reward for killing the Three Feathered Crows.

Even after their reorganization is completed, people may not recognize them as emperor and courtiers.

Rhodes suffered heavy losses.

Makarov wanted to laugh three times, but unfortunately it was a meeting, not a banquet, and it was not the time for him to show off, so he had to touch his conscience and talk about the topic.

"In short, the matter of ERA is closely related to that person. I will inform the guild alliance in the south to pay more attention to Jellal's whereabouts later. Everyone should pay more attention to it."

They are not the only local guild alliances, and they are not even limited to the Kingdom of Fiore.

Presumably after the news spreads in the past two days, other alliances will also hold meetings like this, and everyone will naturally exchange news.

"Now let's get into today's topic. What kind of impact will ERA's temporary inability to operate have on us and even the magical world?"

Although Makarov is usually aloof, he is quite reliable when he is serious.

One by one, he listed the troubles he might encounter next.

For example, the Dark Guild will definitely be greatly encouraged, and its subsequent activities may become even more rampant.

For example, some cases of using magic to carry out criminal activities may increase.

Another example is that the branches of the Senate in various countries are in a state of leaderlessness, which is not conducive to normal operations after the ERA is reorganized.

If it's more serious, you might even be attacked by criminals.

After analyzing each item one by one, Rhodes discovered that the people most affected by the collapse of the Senate were probably the lives of ordinary people.

Of course, some regular guilds may also be attacked by dark guilds.

——They always think that the reason why they cannot receive decent commissions is because the regular guilds exclude them and because the world is unfair.

The guild presidents discussed a series of countermeasures, such as increasing connections between guilds and helping each other.

The most important thing should be to intensify the attack on the dark guild, and never let them take advantage of it.

Rhodes feels that he will be assigned a lot of crusade missions this time, because this kind of thing involves the stability of their entire region, and each guild will either provide money as a reward or send someone to take over the mission.

And their guild has just completed its construction and spent a lot of money. It is estimated that they can only be responsible for recruiting people.

One afternoon passed, and the presidents discussed many details, but still felt that there was still much to learn.

However, it is getting late, so we can only adjourn the meeting temporarily, collect our thoughts after dinner, and wait until tomorrow to continue the discussion.

At the dinner, many people came over to toast Makarov, and they caught Rhode talking and boasted that they really envied Makarov.

After three rounds of drinking, people who were familiar with each other finally gathered together in twos and threes to drink and chat.

Just as Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, he was immediately praised several times by Goldman and President Bob.

"Speaking of which, a lot of cute boys from Fairy Tail came to our guild to play in the past two days~ Why didn't Rhodes-chan come?" President Bob held his chin and gave Rhodes a wink.

Goosebumps arose, and Rhodes said with some embarrassment: "Well... you also know that we are very busy recently, and the president likes to leave things to us."

You may need to protect the president's face in front of others, but in front of these two people, it doesn't matter if you complain.

Makarov didn't even bother to refute.

"That's really a pity." Bob fumbled in his pants pocket, took out a few tickets and stuffed them to Rhodes.

"This is a hospitality ticket for our bar. Bring your friends to play when you have time~"

"Thank you...thank you?"

It was obviously just a few ordinary small pieces of paper, but Rhodes actually felt it was a bit hot to touch.
Chapter completed!
