Chapter 211: The Banquet
"Hey, did you hear that?" said passer-by A with a mysterious look on his face to his partner passer-by B.
"What?" passerby B looked dazed.
"O palace, the matter of the palace!"
"Oh, I know, last night His Majesty entertained those magicians at the Palace of Lights. ”
"You're all old calendars. The look on the face of passer-by A caused his companion to keep urging him to tell him new news, "I heard that His Majesty the King has prepared a special magic show to celebrate, and I heard that a giant dragon appeared, didn't you hear the loud noise last night?"
"Alas, how did I hear that this is the tail of the fairy and the tiger biting the sword, and they fought with each other unconvinced, and I heard that the palace was demolished!" Ding said, "I know a buddy who works near the palace, and I heard him say that several streets were under martial law last night. ”
After a day's buffer, all kinds of rumors spread in the royal city, but the truth was hidden in these rumors. All of this was a countermeasure negotiated between the royal family and the presidents, and they finally succeeded in hiding their true thoughts.
And the even more troublesome Magic Council has successfully passed the test after using some means.
The sun is setting, and the lights are on. The palace, which had been destroyed for most of its time, was restored to its original state, and its bright light as before also quelled all the rumors circulating in the city.
However, all this is fake, with the addition of stunts. The current palace city is still mostly destroyed, and it looks intact and is completely created by magic, just like the Demon Palace, which was completely made of magic.
……
"What an amazing thing! I didn't expect the palace to be restored so quickly. Gray began to undress habitually as he ate.
"You guy, take a look at the occasion!" said Gagiru, taunting Gray as he ate the silver plate with the food.
"You're not qualified to talk about me!" Gray naturally wouldn't admit it, and he ate and recoiled.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Natsu since. Lucy looked around with a glass of champagne, he must have been the most conspicuous one in such a lively occasion, but there was no one to be found at all.
At this moment, the brightly lit banquet hall was bustling with great enthusiasm, all of which were magicians who participated in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Competition, and they were also heroes who participated in the battle with the dragon.
Therefore, this banquet is not only the end party of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, but also the celebration banquet of the victory of the Dragon King Festival.
The magicians who were rarely encountered in the past are now dressed up in the palace and gathered in the palace, and the previous war is the best catalyst for mutual affection, which makes these magicians who originally had some grudges become a lot closer.
Drink and talk about the grand event. The sorcerers enjoyed the food and wine while chatting with the people who looked at each other, and the whole banquet hall was full of jubilation.
"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to enter the palace on this day when I was so old. Makarov smiled at the lively banquet with a glass of wine.
"That is to say, this year's Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts is really worth the trip. Mr. Yajima was full of emotion, originally it was only because of the return of his old friend Fairy Tail that he came as a guest to watch the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Performance, but he didn't expect to catch up with such a grand performance as soon as he came, and he experienced a fabulous battle.
Now, he was invited to a banquet at the Imperial Palace, and the glory he represented made Mr. Yajima feel a lot of emotion. Should I say that it really deserves to be the tail of a fairy? As soon as I came back, I encountered big news.
"Yo~~Pony~~" The chubby President Bob walked over with a twist of his waist, "I was very nervous before, so no one paid attention, but now can you tell me where your Virgil ran away before, and where did that black dragon come from?"
Not only Chairman Bobu, but also Granny Obaba, the president of the Snake Scales, and Goldman, the president of the four-headed hound, all of his old friends from Makarov gathered around, including Mr. Yajima, who was very interested.
"Aha......" Makarov burst out laughing and then took a sip of wine, "The royal family's heritage is really not to be underestimated, I didn't expect such a badly damaged palace to be repaired in less than a day." ”
"Pony, you're getting old, not only your vision has deteriorated, but your memory has also deteriorated. Have you forgotten, this is a palace copied with magic, the same as the Demon Temple, just a trick to prevent outsiders from discovering the problem. Mr. Yajima didn't want to answer when he saw Makarov, so he also helped change the topic.
"That's it, that's it, it looks like we're getting old, too. Makarov descended the steps, apparently not ready to answer the question, "However, such a large project, even if it is fake, the royal family can do it." ”
"However, I heard that the king lost a lot of his hair after signing this plan to hide the truth. "After all, the cost of building the palace and maintaining this magic until it is completed is not a small number. ”
When the presidents saw that Makarov was reluctant to say more, they naturally did not persecute him. However, I also have some speculations about the relationship between the black dragon and the fairy tail in my heart, and as for whether it is right or not, it does not have much impact on them.
The atmosphere was peaceful again, and the presidents continued to drink and chat.
"You're here!" Lucy still looked around for Natsu, who was nowhere to be found, and then Elusa and the others, who had just entered.
"Wow, Virgil, you look a little bad, are you okay?" Mila asked a little strangely, looking at Virgil with a haggard face and dark circles under his eyes.
The others also came over, after all, they had never seen Virgil like this, this is a ruthless character who can talk and laugh with people with a big sword in his chest, when has he ever shown such a fragile appearance.
"It's okay! I'm fine. Glancing at Mrs. Virgil who was holding him, Virgil walked to the table and picked out a glass of liquor and poured it directly, which was a refreshment for himself.
"Hey, are you really okay?" Gray sat down next to Virgil and looked at Virgil who was eating Hesse, "Why did you do this? ”
"You're still young, you can't understand my question!" The movements of his hands did not stop at all, and his speech did not affect his eating at all.
"You guy...... It's really infuriating. ”
"It's Virgil! That's a man!" Elfman squeezed Gray over and ate the food on the table as well, "The man who eats the most is the man!"
"Did something happen to you and Virgil?"
Elusa and the girls gathered together to make small talk, and they were all interested in Virgil's previous appearance.
"It's not a big deal!" Elusa thought of her husband's appearance at that time, and thought that he had really kept that posture in order not to disturb his rest, and had been lying motionless with her arms around her all day, and her heart was full of emotion.
Thinking of Virgil, she naturally thought of the little life she had already seen as a pregnant child, and Elusa couldn't help but show a soft smile, and smiled and told her friends about Virgil's embarrassment before.
Looking at the whole person at this moment, it seems that the whole person is shining with the brilliance of motherhood, and this radiant appearance makes several girls very envious.
……
The whole banquet continued in this lively atmosphere, and it seemed that there would be no more waves until the end.
The reason is because of Yukino, who has lost the sword bite tiger of the president, and Stinger wants to invite Yukino to return.
However, Kagura of the mermaid's heel didn't agree with Yukino's return to the sword-biting tiger who had abandoned her like this, and the flush on her face obviously drank a lot of alcohol.
Then, the fairy tail who is not afraid of big things is also mixed in, not counting Xue Nai's own outstanding strength, just that she is a friend of the fairy tail, then they will stand up for her.
After that, the three guilds of Snake Scales, Cyan Pegasus, and Four-Headed Hound were not to be outdone, and directly turned this banquet into another brawl after the Great Demon Fight.
Later, after the appearance of King Natsu, the atmosphere of this banquet reached its peak.
Sure enough, as long as there is a fairy tail, the world will not be peaceful.
