After returning outside, Calvin instructed Natsu and the others to protect Lucy's return, and ran to a remote corner to meet Gerald by himself.

As soon as he saw him, Gerald's face was full of iron.

"What's wrong?" Calvin quickly asked as soon as he saw that nothing was good.

"The future Lucy is gone, suspected to have been captured by the soldiers of the kingdom. Gerald said in a deep voice, handing Calvin the note he had found.

Picking up the note and looking at the crooked writing of the soldier on it, Calvin's face was so heavy that he couldn't sink any longer, and asked with a little anxiety, "What happened?"

"I also want to ask you, before you told me about the future Lucy yesterday, I felt something similar to Jeff, and the location was completely different from the place where you placed the future Lucy, and I only remembered it afterwards, so today I was going to ask the future Lucy to find out, but when I went to the hotel, I found that she was gone, didn't you feel the magic last night?" Gerald asked.

Calvin thought about it carefully, last night, he seemed to have been relaxing in Tequila Land with his friends for a long time, at that time, because his friends were inside, and he also found the future Lucy, and found the truth of the mysterious magic, so he didn't release his perception ability at all.

It's just that he was embarrassed to tell Gerald that he was relaxed because of playing, so he only said in a deep voice with a stiff face: "I have already talked to the knight who presided over the eclipse plan just now, it doesn't sound like he did it, but I can't deny this possibility, and I will sneak into the castle myself to find out the news later." ”

"Okay, then I'll look around the streets for any clues. Gerald nodded in agreement, then added, "By the way, do you need me to borrow your tights?"

“……”

"It was humorous, I laughed. ”

Calvin Pi moved his face with a smile and looked at Gerald's unchanged expression, a little unsure whether he was joking or serious.

But the corners of Gerald's mouth seemed to curl slightly.

After bidding farewell to Gerald, Calvin had a hearty dinner with his companions, and waited until the dead of night when everyone else was asleep, then quietly left the mattress, put on a pitch-black cloak, and quietly walked towards the most important building of Culokas, the Palace of Lights, Mel Cullias, the residence of King Fiorre.

As the residence of the king, the palace of lanterns was also the place where the entire country was engaged in government affairs, so even in the middle of the night, it was heavily guarded.

It's just that for a magician of Calvin's level, to sneak into it is not much different from walking into the door, opening the black-winged demon and sneaking in through a window in the air as if it were invisible in the night.

The castle is very large, and the only place that Calvin has seen can compare to the palace of Adras, and the current perception is all over the castle, but there is only a vague feeling, as if in a haze.

"It seems that it is the influence of the Eclipse Gate, so I can only find it slowly. Hiding under the hood, his expression was very solemn, and he saw Calvin take out the card and enter the magic power.

"Magic Flying Worms!"

The next moment, seven strange flying insects flew out of the void, the flying insects were only the size of a finger, full of illusory feeling, it was Calvin's only ultra-small summoned beast, and the cost of magic power was almost the same as nothing.

A man in a black cloak would obviously be conspicuous when he walked around the castle, but the Flying Worm was much more secretive, and Calvin found a secret place and waited for the Flying Worm to pass on the detection information to him.

Although the flying insects are small, they are very fast, but it only takes about ten minutes before they have an unexpected harvest.

"It's a strange thing, this guy is still locked up. Calvin muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up, "Go and ask, maybe you can find out something." ”

As soon as he thought of it, Calvin stopped hiding and walked towards the goal.

Along the way, Calvin walked very carefully, so that no one would find out, and smoothly came to a prison where prisoners were held, and the imprisoned people were actually Arcadios, who he had talked to not long ago, and Yukino.

Calvin remembered that Lucy had told him that the kingdom's Minister of Defense had arrested her and the knight in front of him because of his opposition to the eclipse plan, and the reason for the arrest was to inform outsiders of the kingdom's secrets, and he didn't know what reason the current Minister of Defense used to arrest the head of a knightly order.

"Who is it?" Arcadios shouted violently, his eyes fixed on Calvin, whose face could not be seen clearly, very sharp, even if he was a prisoner, he still had the fierceness of a knight.

"Yo, meet again, Knight, and please be quiet, I don't want to be discovered. Calvin pulled his hood back, and both Arcadios and Yukino looked like hell.

"Calvin Macaro, why are you here!" Alcadios spoke, though it was a question, as if it were a command.

"I have a companion who has been captured by the soldiers of the kingdom, I came in to check it out, is there anything you want to say?" Calvin asked in a relaxed tone, but by the back, his gaze had become infiltrating.

"I don't know, it's definitely not my order, and my target is the Star Spirit Magi, there is no point in catching your other companions at all. ”

"It's really righteous, but the impression you gave me before was so bad that I can't believe you. Calvin said dismissively.

"Believe it or not, I have a clear conscience anyway. Arcadios simply ignored Calvin and closed his eyes to himself.

Seeing that the knight didn't plan to pay attention to himself, Calvin turned his head to look at Xue Nai, who quickly shook his head and hurriedly said, "We really didn't arrest your partner, and I have been discussing with you and Lord Lucy all day long how to persuade you and Lord Lucy to help." ”

Calvin looked at the prisoner knight under the stairs, and then looked at Xue Nai's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, he was not a psychological master, and he was not very familiar with these two people, so he couldn't tell whether the words of the two were true or false.

His flying insects were about to turn over the entire castle, but there was no shadow of Lucy in the future, things were slowly out of his control, and after he rejected Aldicka Auchan's proposal, he couldn't be as unpredictable as before, and he still knew about such things as the butterfly effect.

"Calm down and think clearly, the kingdom is secretly carrying out an eclipse plan... Arcadios is in charge... In the future, Lucy said that it was the Secretary of State for Defense who opposed the Eclipse plan to arrest the group... Future Lucy was caught by the soldiers... If it weren't for Arcadios' orders, who would it be...... Wait!!"

Calvin recalled all the information he had learned, and suddenly his heart was blessed, and his eyes widened with a look of surprise.

"Since the Minister of Defense was able to arrest the head of a knight order for opposing the plan, it means that all this was planned by Arcadios privately, but this absolutely does not make sense, how could the head of a knight order secretly carry out such a huge plan without the king. ”

"Arcadios is just the one who was pushed forward, and there must be someone else who is really in charge of this plan, so it makes sense why after this guy was arrested, the eclipse gate was still opened, and more than 10,000 dragons appeared in this era!"

"The real mastermind behind the scenes is probably the king himself......"
