Shaking his head lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't like being a reviewer or something."
"I still like freedom."
"Besides, strictly speaking, I'm still a member of Fairy Tail, so let's avoid talking about such things."
Hearing Luo Xingchen's words, all the people present fell silent except for Worod.
After a while, Jura sighed helplessly.
"Since this is the case, we will not force Your Excellency Xingchen."
"But..." Heiberian put down the goblet in his hand.
Looking at Luo Xingchen with serious eyes: "The reason why we want you to join is actually not that simple."
"Yes... about the Alvarez Empire?" Luo Xingchen said.
"You know?" Ulufhuim said in astonishment.
Regarding this, Luo Xingchen nodded lightly: "I talked about this empire when I was talking with Teacher Ouge before."
"A... huge military empire that has always maintained a hostile relationship with Ishgar."
Heiberian sighed lightly, and said:
"That's right, the relationship between this continent and the Alvarez Empire is becoming increasingly tense."
"Maybe one day, this will turn into a war!"
"A war sweeping across the entire continent!"
"After we reorganized the Senate, we also tried to talk, but it was very helpless...the other party didn't seem to have the desire to talk to us."
"That's why we are eager to expand our own strength, otherwise we have no chance of winning once we start a war."
Having said this, Hey Berrien paused.
After a wry smile, he said, "Although the Senate is composed of the Holy Ten, its actual deterrent power is not as good as before."
"I understand." Luo Xingchen responded.
"After losing the magic spirit power and Fez, there is indeed nothing that can restrict the Alvarez Empire."
"However... I still maintain my own attitude."
He raised his head and stared at the crowd in front of him.
"I won't join the Senate, but I will act as Fairy Tail."
"It is also my duty to protect this continent. Don't worry about that."
"If that's the case, then we'll have no problem." Heiberian seemed relieved.
After all, where is Luo Xingchen's combat power, it can face the combat power of hard steel Akunologia.
It is no exaggeration to say that even he himself has no way to win.
Therefore, determining the position of such a powerful fighter is a crucial part for Ishgar.
"By the way, I want to ask you one thing."
When the meeting was about to end, Luo Xingchen spoke again.
He stared at everyone, his expression was serious: "I hope to use the power of the council to investigate my president, where is Makarov?"
"Can it be done?"
Listening to Luo Xingchen's words, the four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.
They all spread their hands helplessly.
Volod said: "¨. There is something about the little Makarov. After he disappeared, I also investigated it."
"But unfortunately, there is no news about him."
Jura also continued: "When we formed the council before, we also tried to find Mr. Makarov."
"And judging from the news from the Council's branches in various parts of the Ishgar Continent, there is no trace of Makarov-sama."
"There is only one possibility for this situation, and that is Lord Makarov is no longer in the continent of Ishgar."
"Not in the Ishgar Continent..." Luo Xingchen frowned.
The information in his mind began to think frantically.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Heiberian.
"I remember that the Alvarez Empire also invaded the Ishgar Continent once, but it was suspended."
"After you inherited the Senate, have you found any information on this?"
Hearing the question, Heiberian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, I've read some information about that incident."
"Did you mention...the reason for the invasion?" Luo Xingchen asked again.
Heiberian also sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, it's not."
"Speaking of which, I am also very surprised that the Alvarez Empire is hostile to our continent."
"But the only thing I think about is the so-called ambition to rule the world."
"However, Alvarez hasn't heard anything about the Eastern Continent." Luo Xingchen said again.
That's right, when Luo Xingchen and others passed through the Eastern Continent (okay, ok) before.
It can be clearly felt that the country that exists there is not like Ishgar, who is always on guard against the Alvarez Empire.
In other words, the Alvarez Empire did not have any hostility towards the Eastern Continent.
In this case, the so-called ambition of the Alvarez Empire to rule the world does not seem to be tenable.
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision.
He said in a deep voice, "Maybe I'm going to the Alvarez Empire."
"Are you planning to go?" Hearing Luo Xingchen's words, several people looked at Luo Xingchen in astonishment.
Nodded: "I think finding out the true purpose of that empire is the most important thing for us to do now."
"And... old man Makarov may be involved in this matter, so I have to go and have a look."
"In this case...we don't have much information, but we sent intelligence personnel to infiltrate that place. If you really want to go, you may be able to get in touch with him." Heiberian said aloud.
"Information officer? Who is it? Give me the contact information." Luo Xingchen said pregnant.
"You are very familiar with that person." Worrod seemed to think of something interesting, and couldn't help smiling.
"Someone I know?"
"That's right!"
"who is it?"
"Gajeel!"
"What???".
Chapter 668: Western Continent, Alvarez Empire
The edge of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Somewhere in an unknown deep forest.
"So you're saying... Gajeel joined the Council?!"
After listening to Luo Xingchen's narration, Ersha looked at the black-haired boy in front of her in astonishment.
The degree of shock was no less than that of a local ruffian who transformed himself into a military leader of the kingdom.
"To be honest, I can't imagine that guy Gajeel would join the Senate."
Even Milaj was puzzled.
"Did he get his head caught by the door? This is completely out of character for that guy."
Speaking of this, Luo Xingchen couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Afterwards, I mentioned this matter when I chatted with Senior Volod alone."
"It is said that it was because Gajeel was looking for a job at that time. You also know that Senior Volod is very fond of joking, so he invited Gajeel as a joke."
"As a result, even he himself did not expect that Gajeel actually agreed, and went directly to the council to report the next day."
"That is to say... Gajeel has now become the upper-level organization of our guild?" Lisanna rubbed her chin and murmured.
"Juvia reckons that Mr. Gajeel must be thinking about being a judge to be handsome." Juvia hit the nail on the head.
To this, Luo Xingchen nodded in deep agreement: "According to that guy's personality, I think so too."
"Look, Juvia and Mr. Xingchen are always in the same mind!"
Juvia, who was affirmed, immediately became excited.
A pair of eyes staring straight at Luo Xingchen made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, soon Ersha spoke again and rescued Luo Xingchen from Juvia's fiery gaze.
"According to Xingchen, that guy Gajiru accepted this mission three months ago, and then infiltrated into the Alvarez Empire for the purpose of collecting information?"
Luo Xingchen nodded lightly.
Said: "It's hard to imagine that Gajeel, who is similar to Natsu, who only thinks about solving things with his fists, can be qualified for this job."
"Indeed, so you plan to go too?" Milaj asked.
"We must go." Luo Xingchen's expression was determined.
He stared at the few people in front of him: "Whether it's the whereabouts of the president, or the reason why the Alvarez Empire invaded Ishgar many years ago."
"These are things that must be investigated."
"Otherwise, if war does happen, we will be very passive."
Hearing Luo Xingchen's words, Juvia frowned in confusion.
Asked: "Is this Alvarez Empire... very powerful?"
"Very strong." It was not Luo Xingchen who responded to Juvia, but Miraj.
In the previous conversation with Oge, Milaj also had a little understanding of this huge military empire.
Just a few words from Oge.
You can understand that if there is a war between the two continents.
Then, there is no doubt that it will be a disaster.
Not to mention what will happen to the mages, it is only for ordinary people.
It will be a waste of life.
"Just now, I looked at the intelligence that the council has. Although there is not much information, just what has surfaced is enough to cause people to be vigilant." Luo Xingchen said again.
"First of all, this empire is a super military magic empire that governs 730 guilds on the entire continent."
"Just the number of mages far exceeds that of Ishgar."
Having said that, he paused: "Besides, the twelve wizards who stand at the top of this empire are the really tricky ones."
"They are called the Twelve Shields of the Guardians, and they are the twelve extremely powerful mages who guard the Emperor-Superigan."
Taking a deep breath: "You should know the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, right?"
Several people nodded.
"Among them, the number one wizard, Celestial Selene, currently belongs to one of the Twelve Shields."
"God Selene?" Erza asked in astonishment.
"Why...why did he go to the Alvarez Empire?"
Regarding this, Luo Xingchen also shook his head helplessly: "I don't know."
