Chapter 276: Who's Behind the Scenes
Completely oblivious to the other people's gazes, Calvin still kept his head down and didn't know what to think, his expression was very complicated and annoyed, and he didn't come back to his senses until Makarov coughed lightly.
"Calvin, what are you thinking?" Makarov asked expectantly, expecting to hear a perfect solution.
In general, Calvin would not have let Makarov down, but this time, he really couldn't really respond.
"Nothing, just thinking about the Eclipse Project......" Calvin replied softly, with a subtle bitterness in his voice that made him look a little listless.
"Do you have any ideas for that? Makarov continued.
"There was a little clue, a vague idea, let me think about it again. Calvin pretended to be relaxed and casual, but in fact, this was only the surface of his pretense, in fact, he was anxious inside.
Especially seeing Lucy's elven eyes full of anticipation made him feel even more guilty.
He only now realized that he should have had a summoned beast protect the future Lucy from the beginning, rather than leaving her alone in hiding.
Just now, after discovering that Lucy's key was stolen, Calvin's heart has not been able to calm down, and Lucy has been arrested in the future, and the key to the zodiac has also been stolen, so that is to say, the conditions of the eclipse plan have been fully met, and it only needs to wait until the sun and moon meet on July 7 to be activated.
Calvin was convinced of his speculation, the more than 10,000 dragons must have escaped from the eclipse gate, otherwise it would be impossible for such a huge number of dragons to be hidden on the continent.
The thought of the scene full of dragons, even if it was as strong as Calvin, couldn't help but shudder.
"No way, if you really can't use words to advise, then even if you use force, you have to stop this from happening!" Calvin secretly made up his mind that if it really reached the point of no return, then he would definitely do his best to stop it, although it was likely to be wanted by the kingdom afterwards.
"It's a big deal I'll throw the pot at Gerald, anyway, he doesn't have a lot of debts!"
However, here's the problem, the Eclipse Gate is a device that absorbs magic, and basically in the vicinity of it, the magician is completely unable to use magic, and will undoubtedly be sucked away. Even Calvin's summoned beast can't get close either, and it will turn into the purest magic power and be absorbed by it, which yesterday's magic flying insect has already tested.
So, how can Calvin, who can't use magic at the Eclipse Gate, stop the kingdom from activating it, and the kingdom will definitely be full of troops near the Eclipse Gate to prevent accidents!
In the face of the army, Calvin, who can't use magic, said that he really can't beat it!
Brains thought and thought, hair scratched and scratched, but no matter what Calvin thought, the solution he came up with after thinking about it was always the safest way to dispel the idea of the kingdom carrying out the eclipse plan.
After thinking about it, he raised his head and said to the other companions: "I'll sneak into the castle at night to find Lucy's key, since they are stealing, we will also take the key back in the same way, anyway, as long as we don't leave the tail!"
"Oh oh, do you want to go, I'm going to follow!" Natsu must have been the most excited and satisfied with Calvin's words, jumping up and down to get over right away.
"Elusa, watch him for me, he's going to be a big brawl if he comes along. Calvin didn't look at Natsu and commanded directly at Elusa.
"Are you alone, don't need help?" Elusa asked Calvin as she nodded in understanding, her eyes flickering with a hint of fire.
Calvin suddenly felt that Elusa didn't seem to be very reliable, although she was usually the head of the eldest sister and led a group of uncontrolled bad boys, but she did occasionally do some off-line behavior, and when Elusa was the most uncalm and irritable, the reason was often from her partner.
After thinking of this, Calvin immediately turned his head to Makarov, and said solemnly and respectfully: "President, please look at them, I will end this matter without causing any commotion." So, allow me to act alone. ”
Hearing this, Makarov took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled it slowly, "Then, everything is up to you, whether it's the Eclipse Project or Lucy's Key." ”
After discussing this, Calvin went back to his room alone, hiding in the depths of the room, and Lucy thought that she might have lost the key somewhere else, so she wanted to go out and look for it.
Especially the long tunnel when going to the Dragon's Tomb, there is a good chance that it fell here, of course, this is only Lucy's thoughts.
But after learning about the eclipse plan, Demon Tail naturally didn't dare to let Lucy run around, and Makarov asked Natsu, Gray, and Elusa to follow her tightly and not let her have any accidents.
Everyone else stayed in the hotel, but they were obviously a little idle, and no one was in the mood to rejoice when something happened to Lucy, and the quiet hotel was so boring.
Calvin didn't pay any attention to this, he was now in the room and it seemed that he was doing nothing, just lying on the bed, but in fact he was doing a lot of things, most notably monitoring the king's every move.
The Magic Flying Insect that Calvin cast yesterday has no attack power, and its defense is very low, but as a summoned beast for reconnaissance, its hidden ability is really excellent.
From the time the king got up in the morning, the flying insects kept an eye on everything he did, whether it was eating or defecating, there was nothing left, and Calvin spent the whole day observing the king through the flying insects.
However, the king was only dealing with government affairs and discussing the affairs of the Great Demon Director as normal, and did not touch anything about the eclipse plan.
Instead, Calvin accidentally learns that the king is the one who presides over the pumpkin, and seriously, Calvin doesn't hate that.
Evening, sunset, night solstice, until the king has to go to bed, but Calvin still didn't find anything unusual, tomorrow the eclipse plan will be executed in two days, and Arcadios, who was pushed in front of the curtain before, has been thrown into prison, but he has not carried out any measures, normally speaking, the closer to the implementation date of the plan, shouldn't he pay more attention?
Moreover, since Calvin Magic Flying Worms began to monitor last night, the king has not touched Lucy's key, and Arcadios has also been locked in prison, "So, where are the captured future Lucy and the keys to the zodiac...... hidden" Calvin muttered to himself.
"The king's expression is so normal, it's so abnormal! No matter how moody or angry, there will always be a worried and worried look on his face before the whimsical action of the upcoming eclipse plan. The king looked as if he had no idea about it, and was just happily looking forward to the final battle tomorrow......"
Calvin couldn't figure it out, if everything was really in the king's hands, then the king's city was too deep.
"No, my mind is too messy!" Calvin went to wash his face, put his thoughts back together, closed his eyes, and frowned deeply, looking a little hard.
However, this sorting really made him find the flaw in his conjecture.
This mistake is that the Minister of Defense can actually oppose Arcadios!
"The king is the ruler of the kingdom of Fiorre, and his power is stable, and he doesn't need to sneak in on any plan he wants to carry out, because even the Minister of Defense will never dare to oppose it, and there is no need to launch Arcadios, who stands on the bright side to attract attention. ”
"The person who really needs Arcadios is the one who is second only to the king in the castle, but who does not have much real power, so he should avoid the attention of the Minister of Defense. ”
"This kind of person is either a relative of the emperor or a concubine and queen, I remember that the king had no brothers and sisters, his wife died early, and he only had a bright daughter by his side. ”
"Yes, I actually only thought of this now, except for Her Royal Highness the Emerald Princess, who can let the command of Arcadios, who can have such a huge amount of energy to build the Eclipse Gate!"
The more Calvin thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was correct, and he had to make this guess, because he had no time to spy on the king all day.
Rather than believing that Princess Emerald was the real person in charge of the Eclipse Project, he wished she was, because he had no other clues to save Lucy in the future.
"Huh~ Go to the Huadeng Palace Mer Kuli Ass now, and make it clear to the Jade Princess directly!"
