Chapter 56: Karna Island (Part II)
"It's not good to grow, and the S-class task list is missing. ”
As soon as a new day for the Demon Tail Guild began, Miraj's anxious cry sounded.
"What?" Makarov, who was sitting on the counter and drinking slowly, immediately squirted out the wine that had not yet been swallowed.
"What's going on?" Makarov asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, I only found out when I went to the third floor to check the S-class mission just now, and it was still there when I checked it yesterday. "Miraj, who can't fight, now has full authority to deal with the affairs of the demon tail, and every demon tail wizard who goes on a mission must leave a message in Miraj to prevent any accidents from happening and can be rescued in time.
Especially for S-class missions, the requirements are even stricter, and the magicians who perform the tasks must carry communication crystals, and the demon tail is not a magician who has not died on the S-level mission.
"In the morning, before dawn, I saw a little blue cat fly in, and when he flew away, he seemed to be holding something in his hand. Sitting on the railing on the second floor, Lakusas suddenly spoke.
"Harpy, Natsu. Miraj reacted immediately, and then Miraj stared at Lakusas angrily and asked, "Why don't you stop him." ”
"I don't bother to care about his life or death, since he dares to pay attention to the S-level mission, he must have this awareness. Lakusas laughed.
"Lacusas, go and bring Natsu back immediately. Makarov shouted at Lakusas with an angry expression.
"I'm sorry, President, I have an S-class mission to do here, so I'm leaving. Rakusas shook his task sheet at Makarov and Miraj, and immediately disappeared from the second floor in a flash of lightning.
Although it is only a glance, it can be seen that the reward written on the mission list of Lacusas is nine million J.
"Mowgli, let Mowgli hurry up and bring them back to Natsu. The disappearance of Lacusas made Miraj very angry, but Miraj quickly regained his composure, and the most important thing at the moment is Natsu's safety.
With Natsu's current strength, to be precise, it can perform S-level missions, but S-level missions are also difficult, and now the S-class tasks in the demon tail are all relatively difficult, just like the task list that Lakusas took just now, which is to defeat the demon that suddenly emerged from the volcano.
The mission that Natsu took, Karna Island, actually has another name, the Isle of Demons.
"Elfman, get Mowgli immediately. ”
"Yes, sister. ”
It didn't take long for the panting Elfman to run back alone, holding a letter in his hand, "Sister, it's not good, Wuji said that he took Romeo to cultivate." ”
"What, it's not even here at this time, Elusa. No wonder Miraj was so worried, after losing Lisanna, Miraj had always feared the most about someone dying, especially those close to her.
"Elusa hasn't come yet, I'll go, Miraj, President. Gray stood up.
"You. Miraj hesitated, then nodded, "You go and hold Natsu first, and then I'll let Elusa go, and I'll have to teach him a good lesson when I come back this time." ”
Miraj, who had spoken angrily, immediately told Gray about Naz's mission, and if he wanted to go to Karna Island, Natsu would definitely go to the port of Harugion, and only there would be a ship to Karna Island.
"I'm definitely going to bring him back. Gray nodded solemnly at Miraj.
It's a pity that Miraj didn't know that Gray still had a sentence in his heart, that is, "Damn Natsu, the S-class mission didn't even call me, don't want to become an S-class magician before me." ”
"Strange, why didn't I see Lucy today. Leibi looked at the guild hall curiously, usually at this time, Lucy, who has no mission, will definitely come to the Demon Tail Guild very early.
"No, it won't. After Miraj heard Rebi's words, he immediately remembered a possibility in his heart, that is, Natsu took Lucy to do the S-class mission together, which is very possible in combination with what Lucy said yesterday about this month's rent.
"Elfman, call Elusa at once. After confirming the possibility, Miraj immediately called out to Elfman, who had just sat down.
"Got it, sister. Seeing Miraj's ugly face, Elfman immediately stood up and prepared to go to Elusa.
"Elusa should be in the city's delicious dessert shop by now. Rebi said to Elfman's back.
One of Elusa's hobbies is that she likes to eat cakes, and when she's not on a mission, it's absolutely right to look for Elusa there.
"I see, Lebby, thank you. ”
"I'm going to take the train again, can't I walk over there? Natsu looked at the train in front of him and wanted to run away, every time he rode the train was a tragic experience for him.
"When is it going to be, just bear with it, you should get used to it anyway. Lucy and Harpy ignored Natsu's struggles and pushed Natsu onto the train.
"I'm sorry I don't know how Elusa, Miraj, and the president will be angry. Sitting in her seat, Lucy prayed incessantly.
"What kind of smell is this, it's so familiar. Natsu's nose twitched suddenly, and Natsu began to look around the carriage, and in his line of sight, a small girl with long blue hair, holding a large pile of boxes, was walking towards another carriage.
"It's strange, it feels familiar. The long-haired girl smelled something familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had smelled something like it.
"Wendy, come on. Two boys and girls, who looked about as tall as the girl, lay on the train seat excitedly and shouted at the girl with long blue hair.
"Brother Mengxiang, Sister Anna, I'm here. Because of this interruption, Wendy forgot about the familiar smell for a while.
"Magunoria is really prosperous, I really want to stay a few more days, I really don't know what the president thinks, the location of the guild is so remote. The white-haired girl in a red dress said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, Sister Anna, the president must have his thoughts. Wendy, a girl with long blue hair, said with a big smile on her face.
"It won't be long before it's Demon Tail's Fantasia, I don't know what program Demon Tail has prepared this year, but it's a pity that our union doesn't have such a lively program. ”
"Sister Anna, even if we hold a show there, no one will come to see it. Wendy said with an embarrassed expression.
"That's right. As she spoke, the white-haired girl Anna collapsed in her seat.
Bang, clang.
As the train opened, Natsu, who was still looking for a familiar smell, immediately lay on his seat with an uncomfortable face, and he forgot about the smell at once.
"What, don't go to Karna Island. ”
Natsu and Lucy, who had finally arrived in the port city of Harugion, looked for many ships in the port, and as soon as they heard that they were going to the island of Karna, they immediately shook their heads and refused.
"It's a cursed island, and no one dares to go near it, so you better give up going there. Someone kindly reminded Natsu and Lucy.
Originally, Karna Island was called the Devil's Island, which made many people afraid to approach, but at some time, there were still brave people who went up there, but recently, all ships near Karna Island were sunk by huge waves.
It was now a forbidden place for all the ships of Harugion.
"Great, just right to swim through. Natsu, who had been following Lucy with a somewhat frustrated head, immediately came to the spirit and proposed to Lucy.
Afraid of being a means of transportation, he proposed to swim over the port of Harugion, but Lucy ignored him.
"How could you swim over. Before Lucy could scold Natsu, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"I've finally found you. Gray jumped out from the side.
"Gray, don't blame me, it's the two of them who threaten me. After seeing Gray appear, Harpy immediately sold Natsu and Lucy clean.
"You traitor. Lucy yelled at Harpy.
"Natsu, Lucy and I can go back. ”
"No. Natsu said with an unhappy expression.
"Then don't blame me, the old man said, I will arrest you back. The blue magic array lit up in Gray's hand, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees in an instant.
As soon as she felt the change in temperature, Lucy immediately jumped to the side and moved away from Gray.
"I'll be afraid of you. Natsu's right hand lit up with a red magic circle, and a ball of flame covered his right fist.
"You are magicians. At this moment, on a small wooden boat not far from Natsu and Gray, the owner of the boat suddenly walked up to Natsu and Gray and asked.
"Yes, we're the Fairy Tail Magus. Natsu and Gray spoke at the same time, and then they glared at each other and shouted, "Don't follow me." ”
"You're going to the island of Karne, I'll take you, get on board. ”
"You can't go. Gray said and was about to do it, but at this moment, Harpy, who ran behind Gray, suddenly lifted Gray and flew up, throwing Gray into the small wooden boat.
"Natsu. Harpy made a triumphant gesture to Nazby.
"Get out of the boat. Natsu pulled Lucy and jumped onto the boat as fast as he could, the owner of the ship moved very quickly, and by the time Gray reacted, the ship was already out of port.
As soon as the ship began to act, Natsu, who was originally very energetic, became his usual appearance again, seeing Natsu like this, Gray didn't have the heart to do it, saying that Gray's mind was originally on the S-class mission, and he didn't think he could bring Natsu back.
On the ship, the owner of the ship explained why he was willing to take Naz and the others to Karna Island, because he was a resident of Karna Island, but now because of the curse, his right hand has become a demon's arm, and this S-class mission is to lift the curse.
This task was originally left by Miraj to Mistergang, because Mystergang has not been available, so it hangs in the guild, Elusa and Lakusas are strong in frontal combat, but for this kind of curse thing, Mistergang is better than the two of them.
In fact, the one who is best at this task is Miraj herself, who receives magic and transforms into Satan, who is able to lift most of the curses in this world.
"Mistress Gray. "Shortly after Gray and Natsu's ship left, a familiar figure appeared on the docks, the ghostly four-element rain maiden Jubia.
Jubia looked at Gray with red eyes, and then his body slowly melted into the sea, chasing Gray and them in the water.
"After that, I'll leave it to you. "In the waters near the island of Karna, the owner of the ship had just finished saying this to Gray and Lucy when he jumped into the sea and disappeared.
"What?" Gray and Lucy immediately pounced, but unfortunately the ship's owner was no longer visible.
"What's going on?" said Gray and Lucy, looking at each other.
"Oh no, Gray, Lucy. Harpy suddenly exclaimed in horror.
"What's wrong. Gray and Lucy turned their heads to see that the situation in front of them made them not know what to do, and a huge wave was rolling towards the small wooden boat.
"Gray, freeze them. Lucy exclaimed nervously.
"Can't do it. Gray shouted.
"Harpy flew with the boat. Lucy shouted to Harpy again.
"It's too heavy. As soon as the Harpy finished speaking, the waves rolled down.
"Ah, help. With the sound of help, the wooden boat was crushed by the huge wave, and Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Harpy, three people and a cat were swept into the huge wave.
"The task is complete, I didn't expect there to be such a person who is not afraid of death now. "On the shore of the island of Karna, two mysterious men turned around and left when they saw the small wooden boat shattered.
"Mistress Gray. Jubia, who was close behind, immediately sped up towards Gray, saving Harpy, Natsu, and Lucy on the way.
"You're a ghost. Gray and the others, who were protected by Jubia with a water circle, looked at Jubia in surprise, among which Lucy was the most surprised, when Jubia followed Gray, Lucy had been reflecting at home, and then went home directly, and did not see Jubia in the demon tail.
"I'll take you up at once. ”
For Jubia, being in the water is like a fish in water, born with water-based magic, because it is too powerful, and once it has mood swings, it will rain.
"Thank you. When the group arrived on the island of Karna under the leadership of Jubia, Gray walked up to Jubia's side and spoke.
"Mistress Gray. Gree's usual gratitude was very unusual for Jubia, just by looking at Jubia's eyes and body twisting there, she knew that she must be delusional about something.
"Thank you for that. Lucy walked over to Jubia's side and spoke.
"Before that, I'm sorry. Jubia saluted Lucy, as long as it didn't involve Gray, Jubia was normal.
"It's okay, you're just following the ghost's orders, I don't blame you. Lucy waved her hand repeatedly, and anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that Jubia was interested in Gray.
"I'm sorry, but Lord Gray, I won't let it go to you. Jubia suddenly approached Lucy and whispered.
"Well, don't let it. Lucy said speechlessly.
"Mistress Gray is mine, it's mine, it's mine. Jubia stared at Lucy and said repeatedly, saying important things three times.
"It's yours. Lucy was already black-lined at this point.
"Hey, you two are gone. ”
"Mistress Gray, I'm here. ”
As soon as he heard Gray's voice, Jubia immediately left Lucy behind and ran to Gray's side, before turning around and giving Lucy a fierce look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Do you have a good relationship? Harpy flew up to Lucy's side and spoke.
"I don't know what to say. Jubia's appearance was completely inexplicable for Lucy.
