Chapter 46: A Mandate from Akima
"Is this, Old Man Akima's message?" Calvin, sitting on the demon bat dragon, was looking in amazement at the magic card that flashed in his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are only three people in the world who have this card, one is Kana, who is like her own sister, the second is Makarov, the president of Demon Tail, and the last person is Yakima, who takes care of Demon Tail in the council. The reason for this is that he can help as quickly as possible when Yakima encounters any difficulties, but from the day he handed over the Yakima card, Calvin has never received a message from Akima.
"Calvin, there's something I want to ask you!" opened the card, and Akima's voice immediately sounded a little anxious. The Magical Council had a heated discussion just now, but it still didn't come to a conclusion. But through his own experience, he judged that this was an emergency that had to be dealt with immediately, and immediately contacted Calvin by private means.
"Why do you think I gave you the card in the first place, Lord Akima. Calvin spoke humorously, but he agreed without hesitation.
"There might be danger this time, but you can actually refuse. Calvin's promise had been expected by Akima, but out of concern, he still wanted to persuade Calvin not to be so rash. In fact, Yakima is very conflicted, on the one hand, through the positioning function of the 'communication' card, he needs to know that Calvin is near the mission target, please he is the fastest way, but on the other hand, he is worried about the mysterious man named Gerald.
But he had no choice, the R system was too dangerous, and while the Magic Council was the highest center of power on the road, it was by no means the strongest body. Although he has a large army, he does not have a leader who stands at the top, and several high-ranking people here have huge magical powers, and they also know a lot of advanced magic, but they have been pampered for many years, and they have long forgotten how to fight, and in his mind, I am afraid that only Zikreen and Urrutia, who have just become councilors, are more reliable.
Akima knew a lot of powerful magicians, so he was well aware that the so-called numerical superiority was just a joke in front of some people, so he didn't really believe that the council's forces would be able to take down the mysterious Geral.
And Calvin, who is near the R system and is strong, is the only person he can ask for.
"Your Excellency Yakima, do you think I, Calvin, am the kind of person who retreats when he encounters danger? Although Akima couldn't see Calvin, he could imagine that Calvin was saying this with the spirit and confidence he was saying.
"It's really a pony's child, so I'll leave this matter to you......"
There was a moment of silence as Yakima gushed about Calvin what the Council had learned and what it had asked for, and it was clear that Calvin needed some time to digest it.
"I've heard of the R system, and someone actually made it. Calvin sighed a little that he had a period of awkward ment, when he thought about researching ways to resurrect the dead, because he really missed Pierce.
"But don't worry, there are two conditions that must be met for the R system to work, and this is not a simple matter. Then, Calvin immediately comforted Kia Kima.
"Either way, be careful. Finally, Akima admonished Calvin in a very serious tone, and ended the correspondence. However, Calvin's face immediately became solemn.
"Gerald... It's a tricky name, and I hope he's not as strong as that 'Gerald'. From Calvin's self-talk, it can be seen that he is not as easy as he imagined, at least, he is not ignorant of this Gerald.
"And there's one thing that I really don't mind, why Elusa is in the vicinity of the R system, and she also leaves Natsu behind......" Calvin, as an S-class magician, was very attentive to some small details, and immediately remembered the incident that he felt Elusa's breath not long ago.
Calvin's subconscious told him that Elusa probably had a deep relationship with the R system, that is, the Tower of Paradise, and if nothing else, it must be the darkness that Elusa had been buried in her heart all along. He will never forget the days when Elusa first came to Demon Tail, when she completely closed herself off.
Vaguely, he felt that he might know a little bit about the other party's purpose.
"Looks like it will be a while before I can go back!Elusa, I really hope my guess is wrong, don't have the idea of being hit on your body 'again'!" Calvin instantly turned around, looking for the boat from above.
Only, the ship was not found, but Calvin found a tower, a tall tower alone above the sea level.
"It's really a suspicious building, I'm afraid this is the 'Tower of Paradise', hmph~ which guy took this ridiculous name~" Although the tone of his mouth was relaxed, Calvin was already on guard the moment he found the tower. He didn't believe that the other party would be defenseless, and the name 'Gerald' alone was enough to make him wary.
While observing the Tower of Paradise, he also made other discoveries.
"Well, Gray's magic, are they here to pick up Elusa? Huh, there's a strange magic," Calvin wondered, if they were on a mission as a team, Elusa found out about the Tower of Paradise, and then she herself infiltrated the enemy's position first, leaving Grenaz and them ready to answer.
"Let's meet them first, maybe Elusa has a plan......" Calvin thought as he did, and the demon bat dragon flew in the direction he felt.
――
"The sea is so big, it's completely lost. On a small boat, Gray looked at the same scenery around him with annoyance, and had a headache.
Looking at the other three people on the boat, the only one who has the ability to track is Natsu's nose, but he is on the vehicle at the moment, and his condition is very poor, and it is still unknown whether he can believe it.
"Although Zhu Bi'an is a magician of water, he has nothing to do with the sea, and it is really humiliating to live up to Lord Gray's expectations. "There is a female sorcerer next to Gray who is very disappointed, dressed in a blue suit and with a gloomy aura, it is actually the enemy of the demon tail not long ago, the rain girl Zhu Bi'an.
"It's not your fault, it's all to blame on this useless guy, who chased after him with great momentum just now, but dropped the chain at the most critical time. Gray unexpectedly reassures him and disdainfully kicks Natsu, who is defenseless.
Suddenly, Zhu Bi'an's face sank, and his magic power was turbulent, obviously on alert.
"Lord Gray, someone is approaching, and it's fast!" As a former S-class magician, she is needless to say, and even her senses are very sharp.
As soon as they heard this, Gray and Lucy quickly prepared to attack, and no one stared in one direction, waking up their spirits.
Then, except for Natsu, who was still seasick, the three of them felt a strong wind coming from behind them at the same time, and the enemy actually came behind them unconsciously?!
In addition to Lucy's magic that did not attack on her own, Gray and Jubian coincidentally condensed magic in their hands, and they were about to turn around and blast out.
"You're so enthusiastic. However, before the magic burst out, they had already been bound by the magic array, and Gray suddenly panicked, the enemy seemed to be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Calvin?!" Lucy's screams rang out just in time, and he knew that rescuing Elusa and Harpy this time should be a safe bet.
