Chapter 194: The Lunar Eclipse Project Begins!
The moon has risen, and the time is almost up for the eclipse gate to open.
The pleasant tea party was soon over, and Princess Emerald took Virgil and Lucy to a square.
"Your Royal Highness, why are you here? Lucy asked, looking at the empty square.
It was still part of the palace and was surrounded by the walls of the palace, and there was no one but a few guards.
"The next lunar eclipse project is going to start here. The princess said as a matter of course, "In addition to the power of the star spirits of the zodiac, the opening of the eclipse gate also requires the special magic produced by the moon during today's lunar eclipse. ”
"It's possible to transport it underground by pipe, but it's easier and less labor-saving to open the door just here. ”
"That'...... Where's the gate?" asked Lucy.
"Huh. The princess pursed her lips and smiled, not answering Lucy's question.
She turned to look at Dazuo, who had not interjected beside her, "Arcadiossan, you can start." ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess!"
Although she didn't know what to do next, Lucy knew that the princess was not joking, and there must be their intentions, so she stopped asking questions and watched the next development seriously.
"All obey orders!" Dazuo's voice resounded throughout the audience, "Lunar Eclipse Project!"
At this moment, the people in the square were all participants in the lunar eclipse plan, and the whole square was in action at the sound of an order, and a large number of soldiers continued to pour in and start cleaning up the site, and the useless decorations were removed, clearing a large open space in the center of the square.
A dozen magicians in robes and wands walked into the plaza and stood in the cleared clearing, and the dozen or so magicians stood in a circle and in a specific position, and the one who appeared to be the leader was chanting a spell in his mouth.
When the short incantation was finished, more than a dozen magicians simultaneously slammed their staffs to the ground, and green magic poured out of their bodies and flowed down their staffs into the ground.
Then a huge magic array with a diameter of nearly forty meters appeared on the ground, and as the magic array moved, the entire square began to vibrate, and a huge crack appeared in the center of the magic array.
The magic array existed for several minutes before dissipating, and as soon as the magic array disappeared, the vibration also stopped.
Seeing that the princess seemed to be making such a big move, Virgil probably guessed what they wanted to do, and he had also said before that the gate of the eclipse needed the magic of the moon, and there was no need to collect the magic to send it down, so he had to send the door up.
Presumably, this rift is directly above the Gate of the Eclipse, and this exaggerated project is really in the style of royalty!
Sure enough, not long after the shaking just dissipated, it started again, and under the gaze of everyone, this super giant gate with a height of more than 50 meters and a width of more than 30 meters rose from the ground, and this shock was much stronger than the time when you saw the gate of the lunar eclipse directly.
"Alright, there is only one last step left to prepare. The princess looked at Lucy and said.
"Isn't it done yet?, do you need my help?" asked the princess, seeing that Lucy had recovered from her shock, as she looked at her.
"Miss Lucy's key is needed next, do you see those holes in the door?" said the princess, pointing to the door, "It is the lock of the Eclipse Gate, and it is also the collection device of the star spirit magic of the zodiac, and now the key of Miss Lucy can be used to open the lock of the Eclipse Gate." ”
"It's almost time to pick up your companions, Mr. Virgil. ”
Yukino assists Lucy in unlocking the door to the Eclipse, and Princess Emerald no longer pays attention to Virgil, who has not spoken.
"I can arrange for my men to take them into the palace at once. ”
"Thank you, princess, for your trouble. Virgil bowed slightly, "However, the next lunar eclipse plan is too important, and it is a great honor for Her Royal Highness to allow our companions to come and watch the ceremony, so it is better not to draw attention to the extraneous complications." ”
"With my magic, I can teleport everyone over quickly, just set up a teleportation magic circle here. ”
"Here...... I'm afraid not......"
"What's wrong? Will it affect the Eclipse Gate?"
"No...... Because the Eclipse Gate will quickly devour the magic power within a certain range around it, if the magician uses magic in the vicinity, I am afraid that the whole body will be drained of the mana in an instant, so it is impossible to use magic near the Eclipse Gate. ”
"I see, then ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to help prepare a suitable place. "Although Virgil is very confident in the control of his magic power and the amount of magic power, but if he can take it easy, Virgil will naturally not choose a thankless method, and it is not Long Aotian who does not want to attack the princess, so there is no need to pretend to be this force here.
So Virgil followed a soldier and walked out of the square, and after walking out of the square, this distance was basically out of the area of influence of the Eclipse Gate.
The magic array in Virgil's left hand flashed away, and the Enma Knife was summoned. Drawing his sword out of its sheath and slashing at the air in front of him, a light blue spatial door appeared in front of him, just like the door opened by Virgil on the first day of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, and on the other side of the door was Fairy Tail in the tavern where he was now partying.
Although it is possible to teleport people by arranging a magic array, in that case, Virgil will have to go back and set up a magic array, and then come back to pull everyone over.
In order to be lazy, Virgil decisively chose a more labor-saving way.
Not long after the portal was formed, a pink head came out.
"What are you doing, Virgil!" the first thing Mennaz did as he walked out was to complain to Virgil.
"Cut! Do you think this is going home? you can come casually?" Virgil complained to Natsu, "this is the palace! not your house!"
"President, everything has been settled. "Immediately following Natsu in was Makarov, and when Virgil saw the president come in, he left Natsu to report to Makarov.
"Her Royal Highness has agreed to our terms, and now the princess is waiting for you inside. ”
"Good work, Virgil. Makarov looked at Virgil in front of him with satisfaction, he didn't expect him to get things done so smoothly, it can be said that he did a good job.
Think about Virgil's steady work, invincible strength, and high prestige in the guild......, this is simply the best successor! If you can pass on the position of the president to him, then you can retire with peace of mind, otherwise you will definitely not live long in the face of these unconscious little rabbit cubs all day long.
Virgil, however, is too loose-minded! and Gildas is a virtuous man, not at all like a man who can sit down in the chairman's seat. ’
Makarov nodded and shook his head for a while, and Virgil looked inexplicable. Virgil couldn't have gotten a little about Makarov in a moment, and a thousand thoughts turned in his mind, and the idea of making him his successor came to mind.
"Let's go, old man, Her Highness is waiting for us. Seeing that everyone had come in, Virgil greeted him and took the lead towards the square.
As soon as they entered the square, everyone's eyes were drawn to the huge eclipse gate. There is no way, the eclipse gate is huge and can only be appreciated by those who have seen it with their own eyes.
"Good evening, Your Highness Princess. Makarov looked at the princess and his party standing there to greet him, except for Lucy, who looked like high-ranking officials, and couldn't help but become serious, "It's an honor to be able to participate in the lunar eclipse project." ”
Makarov glanced at himself and the family behind him, wondering if he was dressed a little too casually.
"Gui'an, President Makarov. It's a pleasure to meet you and your guild members. Princess Emerald smiled slightly, and rolled up the corners of her skirt to the members of the tail test of these goblins who met for the first time.
"Good night! ”
At this time, the people of the fairy tail had just been shocked by the gate of the lunar eclipse, and now they were calmed by the princess's aura, and there was no place for rude to jump out of the past, and they hurried back when they saw the princess saluting themselves.
"Everyone, please come with me, the ceremony is about to begin. ”
Hearing the princess say this, everyone looked up and found that the moon was already hanging in the middle of the sky, as if the lunar eclipse had begun, and the moon emitted a faint red light.
"These people are the Hungry Wolf Knights of the Kingdom, the most elite magic guide team in the Fiore Kingdom. "Arcadios introduced Virgil and the others to their teammates in the future.
Because he couldn't pass too many people, he naturally couldn't let the Sakura Knights, the strongest legion in the kingdom, lead him, to carry out the plan, and chose this elite force, the Hungry Wolf Knights.
"And I am the commander of this operation, and in order not to interfere too much with history, all our actions must be under my command. ”
"No problem! We're here to be thugs, and in order to deal with the possible Akuno Lokia, we're going to have Virgil, Laxus, Natsu, Gajiru, Wendy, and Elusa. Makarov had no problem with such an arrangement, and also said about the personnel selected by his side.
No one in the fairy tail will cause trouble for no reason, this is the opponent's home field, and those people seem to have a lot of magic power, and the strength will not be much worse.
And the Hungry Wolf Knights have no opinion, they have also watched the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, these people involved in the action are all guys with extraordinary strength, just one Virgil is enough to crush the audience, they naturally will not be bored.
"Well, it looks like everyone is ready!" said the Emerald Princess, "and now that you are ready, I declare ......"
"Eclipse Project...... Let's go!"
