Ur and Gildarts appeared as two big characters lying across the snow-capped mountains, with a bright red underneath them, like two salted fish that had just been slaughtered and waiting to be pickled.
It feels good to escape death.
But if they were given a choice, they would rather not have an experience like today in their entire lives.
Powerless and desperate!
Before the war started, Ur originally thought that he would be in trouble today, but in fact, he had overestimated himself.
To be precise, when facing Akunologia, their probability of survival or death is 50%, because their life and death depends entirely on Akunologia's mood and is not under their control at all.
middle.
Either live or die!
"Ahem~~ No wonder no one has been able to complete this task for more than a hundred years. Who can deal with such a monster, and it's still ahem!" Gildarts coughed a few times with difficulty to relieve the spread of infection in his internal organs.
The discomfort he felt caused him to stop the words that he almost blurted out.
The "Hundred Years Mission" is different from ordinary missions. All magicians who accept the "Hundred Years Mission" must first sign a confidentiality agreement to avoid leaking the contents of the mission.
In other words, if the content is leaked, it will cause panic to the entire world!
"Monsters can only be dealt with by relying on monsters, and the same goes for dragons. After all, isn't that why "Dragon Slayer Magic" exists?"
"Hey~~You're right." Gildarts thought of a trouble-making kid, and couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, Ur, why are you here?"
"I came here specifically to find you. Something happened to the guild recently. I originally planned to ask you for help, but now it seems haha!" Ur looked at the miserable situation of himself and Gildarts, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
.
Overall, the current situation is actually pretty good.
After all, he had rescued Gildarts from Acnologia and was still not disabled, so he had accomplished half of his goal.
As for the other half.
With the current injuries of the two of them, it would be difficult to recover and return to "Fairy Tail" in a short time, even with Ur's recovery ability.
Although Acnologia only attacked the two with one blow.
But that blow instantly emptied most of Ur and Gildarts' health bars, and the injuries caused were only a little short of death.
Just when Ur and Gildarts had just escaped from Acnologia's hands.
at the same time.
The town of Magnolia also began to become lively.
Because the "Harvest Festival" of Magnolia Town will come soon. This is a festival for the entire town, so the residents of Magnolia Town have begun to prepare for it a long time ago.
As an indispensable part of the town of Magnolia, "Fairy Tail" is even busier during this time.
All the time.
"Fairy Tail" are all the protagonists of the "Harvest Festival".
Not only for itself, but also to repay the support of urban residents for "Fairy Tail" for so long, Fairy Tail often holds some grand programs during the "Harvest Festival".
The performers are naturally members of "Fairy Tail"!
When it comes to performances, Fairy Tail people often have a kind of obsessive confidence, especially the women in the guild.
"Ah~ah~~ah~~~"
This is a red-haired woman practicing her voice!
boom!
"Hahahaha, you idiot Gray, come after me!"
"(ヘ#)"
"Asshole Natsu, stop!"
boom!
Crackling~~
These are two incompatible idiots fighting.
"Oh~ Really, can't you two calm down for a while?" This is the tired complaint made by a cow who specializes in complaining, putting his hand on his forehead!
Boom!!!
This was the loud sound made when a certain troubled bald president couldn't bear the quarrel between two idiots and smashed them with one punch!
""
emmmm!
Overall, "Fairy Tail" was as lively as ever today.
However, although everyone in the guild showed great interest in the upcoming "Harvest Festival", not everyone liked this lively scene, such as a certain golden retriever who was not in the guild today.
Somewhere about two towns away from Magnolia.
In a tavern.
Laxus, who chose to go out to perform the mission because he couldn't stand the "noisy" scene in the guild, was sitting here alone, drinking wine.
Laxus has been in a bad mood recently.
Ever since he last saw the scene where the "Blue Pegasus" people bullied the two "wastes" of the guild, Laxus had always been filled with anger.
"Hey! Look, that guy!" Some people in the crowd said in shock.
"No way! Is he from that guild?"
"There should be no mistake. With that golden hair and that crest, he is probably Lagertha from Fairy Tail."
"Why would such a big figure from the guild show up in a tavern in this small village like ours?"
Laxus didn't pay attention to the whispers that sounded in his ears from time to time, because he had heard too many such discussions in the past.
But just now.
A very loud, obviously drunken laugh suddenly sounded from the depths of the tavern.
"Huh? "Fairy Tail", what is that? Is it some unknown little guild? Hahahaha!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, Zate, that's the wizard of Fairy Tail!" Suddenly hearing such arrogant words, the people around him were startled and quickly reminded the person who spoke.
"The magician of "Fairy Tail" is just a loser who relies on grandpa to protect him. If a guild like this gathers rubbish, what will happen even if it provokes him?"
The person who spoke had obviously drunk a lot of wine, and even his tongue was a bit awkward when speaking, but his expression was extremely arrogant.
Hearing the harsh words in his ears, Laxus' already gloomy face suddenly showed a ferocious look, his eyes flashed with violence, and he slowly stood up.
"Zat, I've never heard of it, but if you want to die, I can help you." Laxus's eyes flashed with cold light, he looked at the short, strange-looking stranger in front of him, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
With a slightly cruel arc, he spoke slowly.
"Oh? If you are angry, then go outside."
Facing the evil shown by Lagosus, Zat not only did not feel afraid, but instead launched a more aggressive provocation against Lagosus.
then!
Laxus took action.
Golden thunder appeared in the sky above Zate without any warning. With a click, it fell from the sky and fell directly towards Zate's head.
Boom!
The thunder shattered the floor and penetrated the ground.
Zat had already dodged before the golden thunder came. In mid-air, Zat's eyes suddenly widened and he looked directly at Laxus, and then an invisible and strange power was inspired from his eyes.
It hit Laxus' body violently.
boom!
Laxus was instantly blown away, and his flying body hit the wall, causing a roar.
"Ah hahaha, you are so weak! Fairy Tail, do you want to go hunting for goblins tomorrow?" Zate laughed wildly, and was extremely proud when he saw Laxus being "defeated" by him so easily, but right now
When he was feeling proud, suddenly, a golden light suddenly shone into his eyes from below, making him stunned.
"Huh? What?"
Click!
A powerful thunder suddenly burst out from the ground. Zate had no time to react. His whole body was instantly hit by the thunder, shaking like a sieve and screaming in agony!
A few seconds later.
Zat turned into a mass of charcoal and fell down powerlessly.
Everyone was shocked.
“Thunder actually came from the ground”
"is that a lie!"
"That Draymond Chizart was killed so easily."
"Who is that man?"
Zat is not an unknown person. At least in their area, Zat is definitely a well-known magician. However, such a "powerful" magician is held up in the hands of the man in front of him.
Just one move.
One can imagine how everyone feels in their hearts right now.
Just when everyone was shocked by Lagasus' strength, Lagasus stood up slowly outside the wall and glanced at Zate lying on the ground. His expression was a little disdainful, but more importantly, he was angry.
With a distorted face: "It's so boring. When did my guild start to be looked down upon so much, old man?"
Laxus's face was very ferocious, with veins popping out on his forehead, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
"It was like this last time, and it is like this again this time. This is not the "Fairy Tail" I want. My patience has reached its limit. Next, "Fairy Tail" will be in charge of me."
Time turns.
Another few days passed quietly.
After Ur and Gildarts came down from the mountain, they immediately found a hospital in a town closest to Lingfeng Zoniya and treated their wounds. They stayed for about a day, and then they set off on the horseback.
Train to the town of Gnolia.
Gildarts paid far more attention to the "danger that the guild may encounter" that Ur said than Makarov did.
"The conflict between Joseph and our president was just a moment of grudge at the beginning, but no one would have thought it would develop to this point." Sitting on the train, Gildarts also sighed.
He is much older than Ur, and therefore, Gildarts knows many "guild secrets" that are not mentioned in the original work.
According to Gildarts, the conflict between Joseph and Makarov originally only stemmed from a moment of drunken grudge between the two at a certain meeting. However, with the subsequent rise of "Fairy Tail" in the Kingdom of Fiore,
As it grew stronger and stronger, it gradually infringed upon the interests of the "ghost ruler", and the "vindictiveness" between the two became a trigger for the conflict between the two guilds.
Because in the past, although there were many guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, as long as the "strongest guild" was mentioned, the first impression that came to everyone's mind must be "Ghost Ruler".
However, in recent years, with the rise of "Fairy Tail", the title of "Fiore's Strongest Guild" has unknowingly begun to become polarized.
I don't know when it started.
As long as someone mentions "the strongest guild", "Ghost Ruler" will no longer be the only one in everyone's mind, the name "Fairy Tail" will also appear in everyone's mind at the same time.
This transformation has had a huge impact on the "ghost ruler".
It's not just fame.
What's more is the benefits.
Because when most people entrust tasks, they want to find a guild with a better reputation. In the past, these "large-scale tasks" would basically belong to "Ghost Ruler", but since the rise of "Fairy Tail" in recent years, these "large-scale tasks"
Half of the tasks began to go to "Fairy Tail".
Even with the rise of many outstanding magicians such as Ur, Erza, Natsu, Laxus, etc., this trend has a tendency to expand.
Most of the economy required for the operation of the guild comes from the remuneration from the tasks released by the client.
The higher the reward, the more commission the guild will take.
The more the guild takes, the better the economic development will be.
If the guild develops well, it will naturally attract more outstanding magicians to join.
The addition of more outstanding magicians will greatly enhance the mission completion rate.
The higher the task completion rate, the more people will naturally come to entrust the task.
The more tasks you entrust, the higher the reward will naturally be.
therefore!
Generally speaking, the development of a guild is like the combination of countless gears. Any improvement in any aspect will drive the progress of the guild as a whole. On the contrary, once there is a problem in one link, the entire guild will show a tendency of "collapse".
Therefore, from this aspect, the war between "Ghost Ruler" and "Fairy Tail" seems accidental, but in fact it is also inevitable.
"As for the tower you mentioned, if I guess correctly, it may be the "R System" recorded in ancient books. It is an item created by the legendary black mage Zeref. According to legend,
, it has the power to resurrect Zeref, if this is true, then" At this point, Gildarts' face couldn't help but become serious.
This matter is no small matter. The legendary black mage Zeref.
If this kind of existence is really resurrected, then the threat he poses will definitely not be inferior to the Acnologia they just encountered.
The train is traveling rapidly on the track.
the other side.
The "Harvest Festival" in Magnolia Town also officially kicked off.
