Chapter 224 The Flower Capital Kulokas(1/2)
Chapter 224 Flower Capital Culokas (Third update)
At the moment Erza, Mirajane and Lacusus began to gradually make their names on the continent of Ishgar.
Egwene came to Culokas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, known as the Capital of Flowers...
On the night of July 6, X777, at eight o'clock...
In the flower capital of Culokas, people are coming and going, cars are busy, countless tourists are walking on the streets, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.
Ewen was walking in the flower capital of Culokas, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
I have to say that as the capital city, Culokas is indeed much more prosperous than the town of Magnolia. Although with the help of Fairy Tail, the town of Magnolia is said to be a small town.
But in fact, it is no different from a city in terms of size or population. Even in the Kingdom of Fiore, the town of Magnolia is considered a first-tier city in terms of prosperity, but compared to a city like Cullocas
With a permanent population of over one million, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the country's population, super first-tier cities are still far inferior...
"Ewen~"
"Here, we are here!"
Just as Yiwen was walking and slowly moving forward, a female voice sounded not far away from him. The owner of this female voice was calling Yiwen's name continuously.
"Haha..." When Yiwen heard the voice, she turned slightly and looked towards the owner of the voice. Then, with a smile on her face, Yiwen walked up to the owner of the voice and whispered: "It's been a long time."
No, Mrs. Leila, and Mrs. Gramey, how are you doing recently?"
"Thanks to you, it's pretty good..."
After listening to Ewen's words, Layla smiled softly at Ewen. Because of Ewen's help, her Heartfilia family gathered the keys to the zodiac stars a year in advance, so this
They didn't have to worry about the keys for a year. They were carefree and lived quite well.
"Long time no see, Mr. Ewen."
Grame looked at Yiwen with respect. Although Yiwen looked very young, Gramey did not despise Yiwen because of this. In fact, ever since Yiwen showed her amazing appearance in front of her,
After learning her magic skills, Gramey had sincere respect for Egwene.
"Are you two ready?"
Yiwen put her hands behind her back and looked at Layla and Gramme and asked.
"We have brought all the keys. The next step is to wait until 12 o'clock in the morning and open the door of the solar eclipse according to the records."
Layla took out an exquisite key bag from her arms, and gently opened the key bag in front of Ewen, revealing the extremely shining thirteen keys of the zodiac inside.
Because Layla didn’t know what the key to Ophiuchus Palace was for. According to the records she handed down, it didn’t say whether the Eclipse Gate needed the key to Ophiuchus Palace. But for the sake of safety, Layla still passed down the key to Ophiuchus Palace.
I brought the keys to the palace, just in case.
"Now that I have brought the keys, let's go~"
Ewen smiled at Layla and Gramme. His mind was now focused on completing the two tasks that Zeref had given him.
"good……"
Layla and Grame looked at each other after listening to Ewen's words. To be on the safe side, the three of them decided to go to the gate of the Eclipse Gate first and wait quietly...
Wait until the early morning and open the door of the Solar Eclipse Gate directly.
The Eclipse Gate was created by Zeref specifically to deal with the black dragon Acnologia. Four hundred years ago, full of despair, it passed the fire that could defeat Acnologia to the hope-filled world.
Four hundred years later, super magic that spans time...
But the problem is that after Zeref created the Eclipse Gate, he and Anna, the ancestor of the Heartfilia family, discovered that the Eclipse Gate had been used many times in the future. In other words, if they were not careful, they would
It would pass the fire of hope to the wrong future. For this reason, Anna wrote down the date and gave the diary to future generations, so that they can open the door of the solar eclipse four hundred years later in an era when magic is sufficient...
In fact, according to Egwene's speculation, if Layla opened the solar eclipse door prematurely, even just one second earlier, the solar eclipse door would not be opened on July 7th, but on July 7th.
If it was opened on January 6th, then it probably wouldn't be Natsu and the others who came out.
Yiwen thought so, and the three of them walked directly to the palace.
"So do you know the specific location of the Eclipse Gate?"
Yiwen stood in front of the palace and did not move forward rashly. Instead, she looked at Layla and Gramme behind her and asked softly.
"Probably in a building in the palace..."
"According to my records, the entire palace and capital of the Kingdom of Fiore were built to hide the Eclipse Gate."
Layla picked up the notes in her hand and whispered to Ewen.
"I see……"
After listening to Layla's words, Yiwen nodded gently.
Zeref really played a big game. In order to prevent the Eclipse Gate from being destroyed in the past four hundred years, did he build a palace around the Eclipse Gate?!
No, the entire palace, even the entire capital, and even the entire Kingdom of Fiore exist to protect the Gate of Eclipse. In other words, the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore is the gatekeeper of the Gate of Eclipse.
Maybe this country was established under the arrangement of Zeref?!
Ewen stood in front of the palace and inferred from Layla's words and the fact that Thomas Fiore, the king of the Fiore Kingdom in the original book, called the Eclipse Gate a treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Fiore family,
Maybe the reason why the Kingdom of Fiore can continue to prosper is because of Zeref's hard work behind the scenes.
"There is still time. As long as we search patiently, we can always find it."
Gramey looked at the sky. According to the records, the vision in the sky had not yet appeared. They still had time.
"No need, I have already told the current king of the Kingdom of Fiore that we need to borrow the Eclipse Gate. He will probably send someone to pick us up in a while, right?"
Layla smiled at Grame. After her Heartfilia family paid a large sum of money to the Kingdom of Fiore, the current king of the Kingdom of Fiore, Thomas Fiore, agreed with their Heartfilia family.
Philia borrowed the Eclipse Gate, but... Thomas Fiore also made a small request.
However, for being able to borrow the Eclipse Gate to fulfill the Heartfilia family's four-hundred-year long-cherished wish, Thomas Fiore's small request didn't matter at all.
"Everyone, I've kept you waiting for a long time~"
"Are you Lady Layla Heartfilia?"
Just as Leila was talking, the door of the palace slowly opened, and a neatly dressed middle-aged man came out. When he saw Leila, his eyes lit up, and his eyes were like looking at walking banknotes.
"Exactly..."
When Layla heard this, she nodded slightly and said that she was Layla Heartfilia.
"These two are..."
The middle-aged man smiled after confirming Layla's identity, and then looked at Yiwen and Gramme.
"Forehead……"
Layla was being questioned by the middle-aged man. It was hard for her to talk about the relationship between Ewen, Grame and her at the moment. It would be fine if Grame was the only one. She only had to answer truthfully and tell the middle-aged man in front of her,
It would be fine if Grame was her servant or assistant, but the problem is that right now, there is also Ewen...
She couldn't say exactly what the relationship between Ewen and her was. In fact, it was mainly because Layla was worried that if she said the wrong thing, she would offend Ewen.
"We are Lady Leila's assistants."
Without waiting for Layla to say anything, Ewen automatically classified herself and Grame as Layla's assistants.
"I see……"
The middle-aged man who opened the door, the Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Fiore, had a suspicious look in his eyes after listening to Yiwen's words. He instinctively believed that the identities of Yiwen and others were not simple, but he
He didn't say much. In fact, he just asked one more question as a routine. No matter what the relationship between Ewen and Layla was, he would let them in. After all, Layla had given too much...
…
"Anyway, come in first~"
"By the way, remember to keep your voice down when you come in and follow me closely. The door is a secret and Your Majesty doesn't want too many people to know."
The Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Fiore did not forget to remind Layla and others after opening the door.
"I'll understand..."
Layla, Yiwen and others looked at each other, then said nothing more and nodded gently towards the Finance Minister in front of them to express their understanding.
"Okay, then come with me~"
The Minister of Finance said no more and just led the way for Layla and Ewen.
"Walk……"
Layla, Ewen and Grame looked at each other, lowered their heads, and followed closely behind the Minister of Finance.
Because the Minister of Finance led the way, no soldiers stepped forward to stop them along the way.
Just like that, Layla, Ewen and Grame followed the Finance Minister in front of them and came to a passage leading underground.
"Then I will send you here, and I will leave it to you to go on your own for the rest of the journey."
The Minister of Finance stood in front of the basement entrance and smiled at Egwene, Layla and Gramme.
"Let's go~"
Yiwen looked at the dark basement entrance in front of her, without hesitation, she was the first to bear the brunt.
To be continued...
