Chapter 54: Layla Hatfilia
"Miss is back, Miss is back. In the huge, beautiful, luxurious courtyard, dozens of servants, young and old, happily surrounded Lucy, who had just returned.
"Mrs. Speight, Aunt Lily. Lucy also looked at the servants around her with a smile on her face.
"Mom, I'm back, I'm part of a very interesting guild now, and the people there are very interesting, especially Natsu. Lucy went alone to the hill behind the villa, in front of her mother's tombstone, and told Lucy all about what had happened to her joining the demon tail.
"Miss, sir, please come over. When Lucy turned around, the butler, who had been standing in the distance behind her, immediately walked up and said respectfully.
"I see. Lucy nodded calmly.
"The lord wants the young lady to change her clothes. Lucy was wearing a simple blue and white dress at the moment, which was perfect for adventure.
"I understand. ”
"Miss, it's still so beautiful. The maid who helped Lucy change her clothes said happily.
At this time, Lucy was wearing a luxurious red and white princess dress, and compared with Lucy just now, her temperament was completely different, not to mention anything else, the price of this dress alone was worth the rent of the apartment that Lucy is renting now for several years.
"He must still be like that. Lucy stood outside the study door, took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.
"Father. Lucy walked into the study, and shouted behind the middle-aged man who was standing with his back to the window.
"You're back. Lucy's father, Djudhatfilia, turned around, looked at Lucy's outfit, and nodded in satisfaction.
"You should now understand the consequences of your waywardness. "If you stay in that guild, I'll still use my power and money to destroy him, and you see, unlike those poor magicians, you're Lucy Hatfilia, Hatfilia's daughter." ”
"So you used your power and money to get the ghosts to attack the demon tail, and a lot of people were hurt. Lucy stared at Jiude and said coldly.
"Yes, it's just that I didn't expect the ghosts to be so useless and didn't destroy the demon tail, but it doesn't matter now, anyway, you won't be going back to that shabby wizard guild, and I won't be targeting them. Jiude said as a matter of course.
For some big nobles and rich people, the so-called Magician Guild is just a means for poor magicians to make money, and many magicians are just barely getting enough to eat.
They believe that money solves everything.
"Change your temper these days, when you are engaged to the young master of the Qiu Renier family, you are not allowed to lose your temper like this, this engagement is very important to both you and Hatfilia, and then you must give birth to a boy so that you can inherit the Hatfilia family. ”
"Father, you seem to have made a mistake. Lucy's words made Jiude stunned, "I didn't come back to get engaged to that guy, I don't need you to worry about my marriage, I just came back to express my determination." Lucy looked at Gyude with a determined expression.
"Don't shoot at the fairy tail, I don't want nice clothes. Lucy said as she tore through the sumptuous princess gown, revealing her usual outfit inside, a blue and white adventure outfit.
"I'm Lucy, Lucy with her own independent personality, not an accessory of Hatfilia, this time I came back, I still think that if you change, we may be able to talk calmly, now it seems impossible, Fairy Tail is now my other home, a home a hundred times warmer than here, if you make another move on Fairy Tail again, then you are my enemy, and I will not show mercy when the time comes." Lucy walked out of the study without looking back.
"Lucy. Jiude looked at Lucy's back in shock, he never thought that Lucy's character would be so strong.
"Am I wrong, Layla. Gyude looked at the portrait of Layla on the wall with a pained expression, and until now he didn't understand why things were like this, why Layla died at such a young age, why his daughter and himself were so different.
Just as he couldn't understand why the Hatfilia family's estate had fallen into such a big situation, it all started after Layla's death.
Soon after Layla's death, the Hatfilia family's estate was attacked from many sides, and by now, the Hatfilia family was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Self-made, he has made it all the way to the current Hatfilia family, and Jiude doesn't know that the fundamental reason why he can develop the Hatfilia family so smoothly is that Layla is behind him.
Layla Hatfilia, all I don't know is that I think she is a very beautiful woman, and few people know that Layla is actually a very powerful star spirit magician, which can't be said to be powerful, it should be said to be terrifying.
The only star spirit wizard in history who can open doors with twelve bodies, and at the same time holds twelve star spirit golden keys, and is a friend of the star spirit king in the star spirit realm.
At the same time, she is also very close to the only magic, and if Layla does not die, she will most likely become the third person ever.
First, the most powerful Dark Wizard in history, Jelf.
Second, the first president of Fairy Tail, Mebis.
What is a genius, Layla is a real genius, but it's a pity that she doesn't care much about the strength of magic, before meeting Jiude, Layla also traveled around a lot, eliminating a lot of hidden dangers that endangered the Ishgar continent, and one of the four heavenly kings of the year Worende saw the young Layla.
It's a pity that Layla later met the young Jiude in the Business Guild, and the two fell in love, and then after having Lucy, Layla never showed her strength, as for Jiude, as an ordinary person, he didn't know how powerful his wife Layla was.
At that time, Jiude was also very young and handsome, talented, and very single-minded, otherwise Layla would not like him, but some things are not solved by talent, not to mention in this magical world, even in the ordinary world.
When the Hatfilia family was developing, they encountered a lot of troubles, and even assassinations from rival families were quietly solved by Layla in the dark.
There is no need for Layla to make a move, not to mention the star spirits of the zodiac, even the two servants of Layla, which are not something that ordinary magicians can deal with.
One of the twelve shields of the Albarez Empire, the defeated Brantish, is actually the daughter of Layla's servant, and it can be seen from this aspect how powerful Layla is.
It's a pity that Layla is a daughter, and if he is a man, then it is certain that a second Jell is born.
It has to be said that in some ways, gender is a limitation of human beings.
Back then, Layla had been working on moving to the Albarez Empire, and perhaps those old guys in the Senate would be complacent with the powerful magic spirit power of the Senate, so that the Western Empire would not dare to act rashly.
But Layla knew that if Albarez really wanted to, the Ishgar continent couldn't stop it at all, and in the records of the Hatfilia family, it was clearly recorded who the emperor of the empire was, and Layla had also seen him, Jelf.
Without Layla's recommendation, Brantish would not have been one of the twelve shields, and after getting the news of Layla's death, Jelf began to cultivate Brandish, otherwise with Brandtish's young age, how could he have such powerful magic.
I have to say that it is difficult to become a master by the side of a strong person, especially if the master has the intention to cultivate.
As a mother, Layla's wish is for her family to be safe, and the empire with Jerf is undoubtedly the safest place.
It's a pity that the sudden change of the Eclipse Gate has left Layla with not much choice, this is a task inherited by the Hatfilia family for four hundred years, in order to let Lucy, and even Lucy's descendants, not continue this kind of task, in the absence of the key to Aquarius, Layla resolutely opened the Eclipse Gate.
Although she succeeded in opening the door to the Eclipse, Layla spent a lot of life on her life by replacing the Aquarius Key with her own magic, and her life was running out.
Later, after entrusting her family to her ancestor Anna, Layla spilled all the eleven golden keys, and under Anna's protection, the Hatfilia family would definitely not have any changes.
It's a pity that Anna can't get away from other things and can't take care of the Hatfilia family.
Layla's two servants could have taken care of the Hatfilia family, but unfortunately because of Layla's death, the two killed each other, and the male servant blamed the female servant for having to use her own life force instead of the key because the female servant was holding the key to Aquarius but did not return in time.
Two of Layla's servants are powerful star sorcerers who also practice other magic, and this battle results in one death and one mutilation, and although the male servant wins in the end, he ends up betraying Layla because of the taboo of using lost magic.
As a result of the battle, Lucy has two more golden keys, Aquarius and Scorpio.
It's a pity that these things are top secret, and ordinary people don't know about them at all, and only Jeff and Anna really know the situation.
"Miss, are you leaving again? The servants looked at Lucy reluctantly.
"I'll come back to see you. Lucy smiled and nodded.
"We're going to miss you. ”
"Lucy. As soon as Lucy stepped out of the courtyard gate, she heard a familiar shout.
"Natsu, Harpy, how did you end up here. Lucy exclaimed as she looked at Natsu and Harpy in surprise.
"With only Natsu and Harpy in our eyes, it seems that we are superfluous. Ye Wuji said with a smile.
"It's not. Lucy's face flushed slightly, and she whispered a defense.
"Gray, Elusa, and. Lucy looked at Ye Wuji, and for a moment she didn't know what to call her.
"Just call me Mowgli. Ye Wuji said with a smile.
"Lucy, why did you run back alone, it's okay, your father didn't do much. Elusa looked at Lucy and said with some concern.
"It's okay, it's all settled, let's go back to Fairy Tail. Lucy said with a smile.
"Well, we were a little worried. Elusa said.
"That's it, Harpy keeps crying. Natsu laughed.
"Natsu is not the same. Harpy retorted reluctantly.
"I'm sorry to worry you, don't worry, it's okay anymore. Lucy said with a smile.
As they spoke, they smiled and walked in the direction they came.
"I'm so sorry, I can't help you. Ye Wuji looked back at the super luxurious villa behind him and said in his heart.
The predicament of the Hatfilia family can be easily solved if Ye Wuyue comes forward, but Lucy's father's attitude, coupled with Lucy's decision, makes Ye Wuji feel that it is better not to meddle in things.
"Layla, maybe I'm really wrong, Lucy hasn't laughed like that in front of me since she came back. On the second floor of the super luxurious villa in the back, Jiude, who was standing by the window, looked at Lucy while looking at a painting on a chair.
It is a very warm-looking painting of Gyude and Layla sitting on a chair holding a blonde rag doll, and behind Lucy standing with a smile on their faces.
"It seems that this family will not stay long, I have been remembering what you said, and Lucy seems to have someone to take care of now. As he spoke, he opened a long box, inside which was a long object wrapped in strips of cloth that could not be seen.
When Jiude didn't pay attention, there seemed to be a golden light shining on the strip of cloth.
"Hmm. Ye Wuji, who was walking behind Natsu, suddenly felt a move in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the super luxury villa that had gone away.
Not only him, but even the little Pixiu lying on his shoulder, the little Pixiu who was originally squinting, couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Do you have a lot of heart? After noticing anything abnormal, Ye Wuji could only shake his head helplessly.
"Natsu seems to like Lucy. On the way to Lucy's house, Night Wuji already knew roughly what happened to Lucy after joining the Demon Tail Guild, and the biggest thing was that Natsu ran all the way to Lucy's rented house.
There's no way I don't know, Harpy has been telling about Lucy, what Lucy sleeps badly, her breasts are big, she is secretly writing, and the furniture is not strong.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this is Natsu's performance of treating Lucy as a companion and not seeing the outside, but Ye Wuji knows very well that Natsu is only so special to Lucy so far, which is beyond the definition of a companion.
Even when Lishana was still alive, Natsu didn't run to Lisanna's house once.
After Miraj became an S-class magician, the three sisters left the dormitory and rented a large house, and after Lisanna's death, Miraj and Elfman moved back into the men's and women's dormitories.
Lishana likes Natsu very much, this is something that all the members of the Demon Tail know, but although Natsu also likes Lishana, it is the love between companions, not between lovers.
"Childhood sweethearts are not as good as falling from the sky. Ye Wuji muttered to himself in his heart.
"The town is nice, quiet and comfortable. Gray said with a smile as he looked at the town that was a little glittering in the setting sun.
"Not bad. Elusa nodded.
"No, this is my family's courtyard, and up to the side of the hill over there, it's my family's place. Lucy pointed to the mountain in front of her and spoke.
"What's wrong. Lucy looked at Natsu, Gray, and Elusha, who had suddenly fallen into silence.
"Miss. Gray exclaimed in shock.
"Show off your wealth. Natsu and Gray had a rare hug but no fight, and they were both shocked by Lucy's words.
"Oh no, Natsu and Gray have been killed. Harpy was surprised, but perhaps because he was a cat, he was much less surprised than Natsu and Gray.
"Captain Elusa, what to do. ”
"Ah, the sky is so blue. Elusa shook the long hair on her head, looked at the sunset in the distance, and said with a sigh.
"Oh no, Elusa was killed too. Harpy shouted.
"He's a super-rich man. Lucy's words made Ye Wuji a little surprised, according to the words revealed, Lucy's mask was already equivalent to the area of the court in front of Xianyang Palace, which was already one-third of the area of Xianyang Palace.
"Layla. "In front of Layla's tombstone, Jiude stood there alone for a long, long time.
