"I'm also your senior!"
After his words fell, the scene fell into silence for an instant.
Even the air seemed to be trapped in a condensate...
Except for Luo Xingchen who knew the old man's true identity from the very beginning.
Everyone's eyes widened now.
He looked at Volod in horror!
They never thought about it, the legendary figure of one of the four heavenly kings of Ishgar.
It turned out to be one of the founders of Fairy Tail more than a hundred years ago.
This... is too frightening, right?
"True...really..." Natsu opened his mouth wide, fine beads of sweat permeated his forehead.
"The guild that grandpa stayed in before...is it Fairy Tail?"
Happy seemed to think about it when he first met Worod.
He once said that he was an old man who had retired from the guild.
But I didn't expect...
"I see... I see... 21" Lucy also responded.
No wonder Makarov was so dignified when he saw the order.
It's no wonder that he directly appointed Luo Xingchen, Erza, and Miraj to participate in this mission.
It turns out that this senior, one of the four heavenly kings of Ishgar, has such a relationship with them.
After describing his identity.
Volod raised his head again, his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with memories.
"The first time I saw you, I smelled the faint breath of that guild that made me nostalgic."
The corners of the mouth raised up involuntarily.
He murmured: "I am really happy to see you young goblins!"
"[and] advocated by Mebis, the Guild of Mages combined with a soul bond thicker than blood—Fairy Tail!"
"His spirit is still firmly passed down in your hearts even after the passage of time!"
"This, whether the work is successful or not, I feel it when I meet you."
Taking a deep breath, his old eyes looked at the people in front of him.
The smile on the corner of the mouth is so bright.
"Mebis once said that a companion is not a noun, a companion is someone who can be sincerely and unconditionally trusted!"
His words seemed to bring the evening breeze by.
Under the starry sky, in the gentle evening wind, everyone seemed to be able to hear Mebis' ethereal and gentle voice echoing.
[Please rely on me as much as you want! 】
【Because one day, I will definitely rely on you too! 】
【Whether it is painful or sad, I will be by your side,】
[You are definitely not alone! 】
【Every star shining in the sky is a hope. 】
【The breeze caressing the skin is a premonition of tomorrow. 】
[Let's go forward together! Follow the song of the goblin! 】
"Fairy Tail's founding message...it really touches people a lot." Luo Xingchen said softly.
As said in that discourse.
It started from the moment Luo Xingchen stepped into the guild gate for the first time.
He is no longer alone...
—————
After learning of Volod's identity.
The people present were more relaxed, beside the blazing bonfire.
There were extremely happy smiles on everyone's faces.
The rare and beautiful scenery, the gourmet food that makes people linger and forget to return.
All of this seemed to drive away the exhaustion in everyone's hearts.
Natsu, who was eating, seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Worod.
Asked: "By the way, Grandpa, do you know about the demon END?"
In Natsu's view, Volod was older than Makarov.
Should be able to figure this out.
"It seems to be the demon in the book of Zeref, my dragon father, Ignilu didn't seem to hit him." Natsu continued to add.
"END...The Book of Zeref...Devil...It really is a bunch of dangerous words."
Listening to Natsu's words, Volod closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.
Only then did he open his eyes, and shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't know much about it."
"Really..." Natsu was a little frustrated.
Originally heard from Atlas Fram's mouth that his father seems to be related to END.
He also thought that if he could find out where the END was, maybe he could use it to find clues about his father.
"However, regarding the gate of the underworld, I did think of some rumors about the gate of the underworld."
Volod's words attracted everyone's attention.
"The personnel are unknown, and the base is unknown, but some people have witnessed some kind of rally they were having."
Speaking of this, Volod's voice became low.
"It is rumored that there are demons in this guild, and in our deduction from the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, it is very likely that they come from the powerful demons in the Book of Zeref."
It was like thunder suddenly sounded in the calm night.
Volod's words made everyone present tremble.
Even Luo Xingchen recalled what Doron Balter had said.
Slightly squinting his eyes, he murmured:
"In other words...it is very likely to be END...right?"
—————
at the same time.
Headquarters of the Nightmare Eye.
After learning that Luo Xingchen had also come to Sun Village, Minieba fled in a hurry and returned to her guild alone.
Due to the fact that it is a dark guild, the location of this guild is relatively remote.
It took even Minerva nearly three days to arrive.
The headquarters of the guild stands in the abandoned castle in the wilderness.
In the empty corridor.
Minerva walks here alone.
Beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead at some point.
There was an eerie silence on all sides of her.
But it's this kind of quietness that seems particularly strange.
After all... until now, Mineba has not found any guild members.
It's as if...they disappeared out of thin air.
Such a situation made her frown involuntarily.
"What the **** happened here? Where did everyone go?"
A series of doubts have been entangled in Mineba's mind.
After walking through the wide corridor, Minerva came to the guild hall and stopped abruptly.
The pupils of the widened eyes suddenly closed.
In front of her eyes was a messy guild hall.
Numerous building ruins mixed with broken seats and benches were randomly scattered on the ground.
In addition, there are countless pure black paper figures clinging to the ground scatteredly.
With doubts, Minerba squatted down, reached out and picked up a piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
"What the **** is this?"
She frowned thoughtfully.
"It's a human!"
宭: ⑻Afternoon, ⒍One Mio Chives Grilled (2)
The sudden voice seemed to answer Mineba's doubts.
Let her stand up immediately, looking behind her vigilantly.
It was a woman covering the upper half of her cheek with a mask.
No... not even Minerva knew whether to call it a human or not.
Obviously has a human-like posture,
But the feet and hands have sharp claws like birds of prey.
It should be said...the sharp claws like a devil.
"What you just said... is this a human?" Minieba looked at the black paper figure on the trembling palm and asked in disbelief.
"My demon... can strengthen 243 human beings, but if they are weak people who are not worthy of strengthening, they will become like this." The visitor explained in a flat tone.
"Who are you?" Minieba took a step back slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Kuang Hua, one of the nine ghost gates of the Gate of Hades!" Kuang Hua introduced himself.
"The gate of the underworld... Could it be that the failure to guard the giant's village has been passed on?"
Hearing the name of this guild, Mineba immediately connected it with the things in the Giant's Village.
Frowning tightly, Mineba looked at Kuang Hua:
"It's just that the village was taken back by those goblins. There's no need to treat them so cruelly, right?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." However, Kuanghua just shook his head slightly.
This made Minerva even more puzzled.
"I just said it, it's just to strengthen human beings." Kuanghua interrupted Mineba's thinking.
"In a short time, a large-scale battle will start. I have received an order to gather soldiers before I come here."
"In the end, you killed all the soldiers you wanted to call?" Minieba frowned, showing a hint of anger.
"It doesn't make sense anyway, does it?"
No matter how cruel Mineba was, she never thought of killing anyone completely.
But the person in front of him... unexpectedly massacred all the people in the Eye of the Nightmare without hesitation.
