Now, if it is as expected, Luo Xingchen has already arrived near the former speaker's house.
But because of the massive consumption of magic power and Erza, Miraj is still in a coma.
Therefore, Luo Xingchen needs to recover his magic power on the spot.
It will take some time to wait for Erza and Milaj to wake up.
So, the trio might come back later.
But no matter what, at least Luo Xingchen was still there, so everyone didn't worry too much.
Instead, they put their minds on the last group of teams that hadn't returned yet.
That is Elfman and Lisanna who went to Mr. Yuri's house for protection tasks.
Therefore, Makarov's gaze was fixed on the last communication magic crystal that was supposed to light up, but until now there was no movement.
His expression was unusually serious.
"Really, what happened to Al "Two Sixty" Fuman and Lisanna, there is no news until now."
Even Karna's face was full of sadness.
boom…
Suddenly, the closed door was pushed open.
All eyes turned to the opened door.
He watched the distraught figure walking slowly into the guild hall with heavy steps.
"Elfman!" Seeing the person coming, Jeter shouted happily.
"It's great that you're fine." Natsu breathed a sigh of relief seeing Elfman return.
However, Kana seemed keenly aware that there was something wrong with Elfman's expression.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, seeing that he was the only one, and couldn't help asking: "Where's Lisanna?"
However, Elfman ignored the shouts of the crowd.
He walked towards the guild on his own.
"Hey, wait a minute! Where's Lisanna?" Elfman didn't mean to answer.
Gray reached out to stop Elfman, and asked again.
"You have no news, everyone is very worried about you." Juvia also said aloud.
"Speak!" Gajeel frowned tightly.
Facing everyone's inquiries, Elfman finally stopped.
Sweat dripped from his cheeks, dripping onto the ground.
An extremely deep voice also sounded: "Lisanna...she..."
"Caught..."
As soon as the voice fell, the entire guild fell into silence in an instant.
As if the pause button had been pressed, everyone froze in place, staring blankly at Elfman at this moment.
"What... what?!" Gray's eyes widened and he murmured.
"How could this be?" Even Happy asked in disbelief.
"Lisanna... was arrested? Is it the gate of Hades?"
Lucy covered her mouth in horror, her eyes filled with disbelief.
boom--! !
Naz stood up abruptly, and slapped his hands heavily on the table.
The veins on his forehead burst out of anger, he looked directly at Elfman and said, "What did you just say?!"
"Hey... calm down, Natsu!" Gray held Natsu down.
Looking at Elfman, he seemed to want to say something, but he kept his mouth shut.
Even Makarov lowered his head silently at this moment.
On the old face, the brows were tightly wrinkled.
"Obviously I...I'm obviously right beside her..." Elfman's tone carried indescribable self-blame.
So much so that the originally extremely rough voice became extremely small at this moment.
"So, what are you doing?! Why don't you protect Lisanna?!"
Still unable to suppress his anger, Natsu yelled loudly.
"Okay, be quiet Natsu, Elfman is feeling very uncomfortable at the moment..." Makarov stopped Natsu from speaking.
Looking at Elfman, he finally let out a long sigh: "This is not your fault, Elfman."
"I also believe that Lady Lisanna will be fine." Yukino also comforted.
Lili clasped his arms, calmly analyzed and said, "The most important thing now is to find the location of the gate of Hades."
"That's right, Miss Lisanna must be rescued." Juvia echoed.
"Ah..." However, Elfman only echoed softly.
Then there is no reaction.
Such an attitude seemed to make Karna frown tightly.
boom--!
She slammed the wine bottle on the table.
The powerful force directly shattered the wine bottle, causing the wine and debris to splash up.
"My sister was arrested, and you came back like this without chasing the enemy?"
Such a questioning sound made Wendy on the side startled.
Hastily said: "Sister Kana, don't provoke him."
Elfman lowered his head a little more, and spoke with a lack of confidence:
"Because... because I lost it..."
After that, Elfman walked forward alone with his head bowed.
"Lost it?!"
Elfman's words aroused Kana's anger even more.
"You said you lost it? Are you saying that you, who can become a beast, can't catch up to the enemy with Lisanna?"
"Have you said enough, Karna!" Gray stopped Karna loudly.
Looking at the back of Elfman walking towards the basement, he sighed helplessly: "That guy's spirit is too tense."
"Let him rest..."
"Also...you don't need to say such heavy words, do you?"
Karna turned her head: "I'm indeed a little emotional, but... I always feel that something is wrong with that guy."
Slightly squinting his eyes: "Elfman, you shouldn't be the kind of person who just gives up if you can't catch up?"
"Who knows, maybe he's under too much psychological pressure..." Gray murmured.
—————
Near the villa of the former speaker.
"Hmm..." Miraj murmured softly with his eyes closed.
Slowly opened his eyes.
What catches the eye is the blue sky and the clouds floating above the sky.
"Where is...where?"
"I just... what happened?"
A series of questions gradually emerged in Milaj's mind.
The originally somewhat chaotic head gradually began to regain its clarity under thinking.
Memories from before he fainted also began to slowly emerge.
Inexplicably stunned, grinning Crawford and the people from the gate of Hades floating behind him.
And... that huge blade that fell from the sky.
"The original speaker was a traitor? It seems that Xingchen's knife saved us in the end?"
Shaking her head, she looked at her side, Erza, who also opened her eyes just now.
"Mira?" Erza sat up from the ground, clutching her head.
Just when he was about to say something, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"You guys are finally awake."
The two looked at the source of the voice in unison.
A black-haired figure in a black windbreaker is sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at this side with a smile.
"Stars!"
"It really was you, you saved us at the last moment, right?"
"Ah, but I thought you should sleep for a while, after all, it's a strong sleeping pill, I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." Luo Xingchen responded softly.
"I don't feel dizzy anymore, but I'm still a little weak." Miraj clenched his fists.
After probing for a while, he said.
"That's a normal phenomenon." Luo Xingchen said.
"It's just that we were almost caught." Erza on the side lowered her eyes.
"Besides, I didn't realize that there was something wrong with the original speaker in 2.2, and even carelessly drank the tea with sleeping pills. I really..." He clenched his teeth tightly.
Erza's tone was full of resentment.
He raised his head suddenly: "It's all my fault! We almost wiped out our entire army, I'm so sorry!"
"Anyway... please beat me up!"
Luo Xingchen: "..."
Milaj: "..."
"Okay, it's not anyone's fault. It can only be said that the fact that the former speaker turned out to be a traitor is a bit unbelievable." Luo Xingchen waved his hand.
Then stood up from the ground.
When his mana had almost recovered, he was about to take Erusa and the others back first.
hum...
The magic crystal communication in the backpack resounded suddenly.
Puzzled, he took out the communication magic crystal and placed it in front of the three of them.
In the next second, Makarov's portrait appeared.
The unprecedented solemnity on that old face even made the three people present feel a little uneasy.
"Xingchen, things are getting serious now, Lisanna has been arrested!".
