Chapter 144: Gathering in the Royal City
Although there were some twists and turns, the training camp finally achieved its goal.
After returning to the guild, the guild leader made a decisive choice to let us go to see the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts.
Elusa, Natsu, Gray...... Including me and Wendy.
To be honest, I was surprised at the time, I didn't expect to be selected. Not to mention the hateful Mr. Virgil, who decided not to participate, there are also Kildas and Laxus in the guild, which is really incomprehensible to the president's choice.
However, when I asked, the president told me as well.
Because they didn't come back. ’
Is it such a simple reason that we chose to make up the numbers?
And what he said about his ideal team is Virgil, Kildas, Laxus, Elusa, Mirajane, the strongest team composed of all S-class magicians.
Although Miss Elusa comforted everyone, saying that the president chose the team according to the team's level of tacit understanding, people still couldn't help but be frustrated. ’
Lucy stopped her pen and carefully tucked the diary into a cupboard and locked it up, if she didn't, the random ones who came to someone's house would definitely peek at it.
"Come on, Lucy, you'll do it!"
……
The capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crokas, is a city full of flowers, as its name suggests.
The annual Magician Festival held here is the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts.
Because of the relationship between the Great Demon Fighting and Martial Arts, the already lively city has become more lively, and the streets are full of magicians and tourists from all over the country.
"I'm still a little unwell. Although the pain caused by activating the second magic source has disappeared, there is still a slight discomfort left, seeing Wendy like herself has finally balanced Lucy a lot, as for Natsu and Gray, there is no need to compare them.
"What are we going to do next?" Natsu looked around, excited about the city's buzz, "let's go take a look first." ”
Unfortunately, their plan did not come to fruition, as Makarov came with the Biska family, as well as Jett and Troy.
"I've already completed the formalities for the competition!" Aska's was sitting on Makarov's shoulder, which made the old man regain the joy of being a grandfather, and the whole person looked very happy.
"Whaha! Let's show you the power of Fairy Tail!"
Everyone was naturally happy to hear that the formalities had been completed, but the chatter around made everyone unhappy.
"That's the fairy tail. ”
"Is that them?"
"The weakest union that was the last in 10,000 years. ”
"Hahaha......"
The laughter was endless, and the people around him were laughing at the fairy tail who dared to come to participate in the Great Demon Fighting Exercise.
"Damn!" the fiery Natsu tried to go up to those people to theorize, but was stopped by the president.
"Let them laugh and laugh. "It's useless to reason with those people, Makarov knows this.
"Listen, our goal is 30 million...... Ahem. Makarov, who exposed the secret, immediately changed his tune, after all, although it is true that money is more important, but saying this is not conducive to improving morale.
"Let the guild return to the throne of the First Guild of the Fiore Kingdom!
"Oh!!" said Elusa, the five of them, imposingly.
"The game starts tomorrow. Makarov pulled out a thick manual and handed it to Elusa, "So, I'll leave this game to you, read it before tomorrow." ”
This is a spell with a dictionary, and she has to read it by tomorrow, and she has never been in vain to let Elusa fight, but reading books is such a thing...... Elusa was starting to get dizzy.
"Leave the reading of books to me!" Fortunately, Leibi who came with her helped a lot, and what she was best at and liked was reading, and I saw her take out the speed-reading glasses she carried with her and quickly flip through the book.
In a nutshell, there are three important things:
1. The president of each guild is not allowed to participate;
2. Those who do not have the guild coat of arms cannot participate in the competition as guests;
3. All competitions will be kept confidential before the start of the competition, and will only be officially announced when the competition officially starts. ”
"There's no important information. Elusa sighed, the manuals didn't reveal any useful information at all.
"And ...... Finally, I wrote a note. "Contestants need to return to the Formulation Hotel by twelve o'clock." ”
"Twelve?"
Everyone looked up at the bell tower, where the hands had just passed a little.
"What time is twelve?"
"It's supposed to be midnight today. ”
"Isn't that a lot of time!" Natsu got excited and ran out with Harpy and Lucy, "It's a rare time to go to the big city!
"Remember to be back before twelve!" Elusa quickly exclaimed as she looked at the three who had already run away, "Do you know which hotel you went to?"
"Take it easy, it's still early anyway. Virgil put his arm around Elusa's shoulders, "Let's go for a walk, we came here and left in a hurry, and we didn't have a good visit." ”
"Indeed, it's like yesterday. Elusa looked at Virgil with a gentle smile, "However, it was only a few months for us, and it was not that long ago. ”
Virgil took Elusa's hand, said goodbye to Makarov and the others, and began his dating journey in the world of the two.
Virgil and the two first visited the famous attractions in the royal capital, and also visited the king's castle, and Virgil also proposed to sneak in to visit, although with the skills of the two of them is not afraid of being discovered, but the serious Elusa still refused.
Next, I ran to several scenic spots to visit, and even in the store where the two bought wedding dresses, there are still photos of the two hanging there.
After a series of strolls, the two of them walked from noon to the beginning of the night. Not only did I visit the scenic spots, but I also met a lot of acquaintances. For example, a few people from the cyan Pegasus overnight, and a few people from the Snake Queen's Scales, are obviously here to participate in the Great Demon Fighting Exercise.
And it's not just acquaintances, but I've also met a lot of magicians with powerful magical powers, so I didn't expect to be able to collect a lot of information just by hanging out. However, in order not to affect his two-person world, Virgil did not seek further information.
After a romantic candlelit dinner, Virgil returns Elusa to her designated hotel.
In fact, he didn't want to leave so early, he was ready to rest with Elusa in another hotel for a while, just go back to the hotel before the time comes. As a result, Elusa refused, citing the need to concentrate on preparing for the battle.
Virgil returned to his hotel in a huff.
Laxus, Mirajan, Gajiru, Jubien, the four of them were already waiting in the hotel room before Virgil was left.
When Virgil pushed open the door and saw the four people ready to go, he smiled and said:
"Let's go and tell the world that Fairy Tail is back. ”
