Qingshan was secretly happy in his heart, and even his steps became excited. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can finally let go and have a good time this year! Because they are deeply influenced by chess players, they also like the feeling of controlling a chess game, at present, it seems that in addition to the great demon fighting martial arts, there is no perfect chess game that can kill the outstanding magicians of the whole country and even the entire continent!

Walking to the door, Qingshan stopped and turned back and asked, "Let me ask, my lord, how did you plan to arrange this time?"

The player continued to lazily sink into his chair and said lazily, "If you still want me to solve the problem...... Throw all the mages into the arena for a battle royale, or use heads-up tournament to choose the winner?"

Qingshan smiled helplessly, in order to be lazy, adults are too willful, right?

Walking out of the player's study, Aoyama shuttled through the empty corridor, while conveying the good news to his comrades on the front line through a telecombiner, so that they could prepare to stop the battle as soon as possible and return to participate in this pleasant game.

Stepping out of the house for chess players, Aoyama turned into a taller and more imposing villa next to him, and then all the way to the basement. Follow the passage in the basement to the core research area of the Balance Organization.

The style here is very different from the peaceful village above, and even different from the whole world of Aslant.

Bright lighting, silver-white walls and ceilings all show the ultimate simplicity and cleanliness. There also seemed to be a meticulous rigor in the air.

Hundreds of metal golems, or robots, are scattered around the various workbenches in this room, and several times as many engineers work intently around their respective workbenches.

Even though I come here several times a day, I still don't feel comfortable with it. Qingshan complained silently, his black dress was too conspicuous here, like a black dot on a piece of white paper.

And every time he stays in this underground space for a long time, Aoyama will feel that his magic concept has been seriously impacted, and he can no longer look directly at his puppet band - after all, his symphony orchestra is still in the style of popular technology more than ten years ago, and it has seriously lagged behind the magic guide technology here!

At the end of the largest studio, a metal throne with the same sci-fi style has been placed for the king here, the head of the magic technology department, to sit.

Aoyama sighed and walked straight to the tall, thin man with a paralyzed face—one of the reasons he didn't want to come here, and every time he came to see the man, it was like he was going to meet a king...... Obviously I'm his boss, okay?

"Yo, Lord Aoyama, it's really on time today. The man on the throne spoke in a stiff, straight tone that made people feel awkward, "But it's still the same as before, and I can't get up to meet you." ”

He stretched out his finger and pointed behind him, only to see dozens of wires of various sizes and thicknesses plugged into his back, including the back of his neck and the back of his head! These cables were distributed throughout the studio through the throne, and if you looked closely, you could see that most of the hundreds of engineers here were not real humans, but mechanical golems connected to the wires.

Val Ichito, he is not human, or rather not a normal human. He comes from a magical race, the mechanical race, the ancestor of this crazy race is a tribe that is good at alchemy, and at some point began to mechanize the entire tribe of people, and it has been passed down to such a strange race.

But I have to admit that this race is indeed extremely good at the research and development of various magic techniques. Since Vaal defected from the Albarez Empire and joined the Balance, the research progress of the entire Magic Technique Department has instantly increased by one level.

Qingshan went straight to the point: "How is your Demon Suppression Hall system prepared? Hurry up and get a non-war version to come out, this time the Great Demon Fighting Exercise will be used." ”

"Oh, you've finally convinced the chess player?" Walton was intrigued, "don't worry, I'm ready." ”

Qingshan nodded, and then said: "This Great Demon Fighting Exercise should be our last relaxation time, enjoy it, and then it will be time for a full-scale war." ”

"So, that ...... Wait for me to search...... Has Woz already appeared?" the light in Val's eyes kept beating, "The long-lost chess game is finally about to begin?"

Aoyama said seriously: "So this time all of our chess members will gather, and you will also become a new chess piece when the time comes." ”

"In place of the Black Knight who died?"

Aoyama nodded: "Yes, in place of Luo Luojian." As the main force of our large-scale war. ”

Val was a little unhappy: "And what about his strength before, there is no need for me to replace an ordinary magician, right?"

"Rorogian is the strongest summoner I've ever seen. His summoned beasts are comparable to an army with a full will!" After thinking about it, Aoyama added, "The army of magicians. ”

Val narrowed his eyes, "No wonder I'm going to fill this position." Is it my mech legion?"

"And your research prowess. ”

"Hahaha, the technical aspect is just a mutual benefit between us. Strictly speaking, I'm getting more than I have to give. Val looked at his studio with satisfaction, "Okay, I know everything. Starting tomorrow, I'll be assembling the Demon Temple at Proving Ground Nine. ”

Aoyama knew that the other party had begun to get impatient, and it happened that he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

After taking a few steps, Val's voice came from behind him, "Looks like you're really going to accept me." Don't you doubt it anymore?"

"The chess player never doubted you. Aoyama said without looking back, "I just don't know if you can face your former companions." ”

"Hah, don't worry, the day after I judge the empire, a new twelve guilders will be replaced. So I don't feel guilty about it at all. And there's no such a good research environment there!"

……

The gaze returned to the elf's tail. All the members of the guild gathered together, except for a few people who traveled far because of the mission and Kirdas, who embarked on wandering practice again, Fairy Tail held a general mobilization meeting again after seven years.

The goal is to fight the Great Demon!

Things turned out exactly as Mila Jenny and Rebi had predicted, and as soon as they had given the information they had obtained, they agreed to participate in the contest and win, meet the chess players, and find out the trail of the lost elf.

It's still necessary, look at the balance organization, because the chess players have at least remembered the name "Woz". But at Fairy Tail, they didn't even remember the name. For the people closest to Woz, the name is like a key that opens the door to memory, and once they get it, they can successfully unseal all memories of Woz, and conversely, without it, the door will never be opened.

And taking a step back, the current guild situation is not optimistic, because after seven years of silence and decline, the fairy tail has long faded out of the eyes of the world. As a direct consequence of the loss of popularity, the number of quests the guild receives is pitiful, and it is not enough to feed all the mages in the guild.

Especially now that the Great Demon Fighting is flourishing, the number of work in a Wizard Guild is directly linked to the results of the competition. So the best way to turn around this unfavourable economic woe is to participate in the competition.

What's more, now that Fairy Tail has a talent generation, also because its reputation has been buried, there are no children willing to come to Fairy Tail as an apprentice. This was the most unacceptable to President Makarov, who attached great importance to the legacy, so he tried his best to make the new generation of the guild prosperous again.

All these factors combined, and Fairy Tail unanimously decided to participate in this year's Great Demon Fighting Exercise!

"However, now we are a little lacking!" said Chairman Makarov solemnly, "because what we need for Fairy Tail is to win the championship!"

As soon as these words came out, the guild suddenly fell silent, and even Natsu, who didn't know the height of the sky, didn't jump out to refute. In the days after the return of the Sky Wolf Group, there were also some battles with the goblins left behind. After seven years of continuous growth and fighting, the strength of these remaining members is no weaker than the average level of the Sky Wolf Group, and even so, the best result they have ever achieved is only second place. The high-level combat power of today's wizarding world can also be seen.

If the people of the Sky Wolf Group can survive these seven years normally, the current Demon Tail will definitely still be the first guild of the kingdom - with an overwhelming advantage. But in the past seven years they have been completely sealed into a deep sleep, and their time has been frozen, and they are still in 784.

If it weren't for the original strength of these demons, they would have been far behind by the times.

But then again, demons have always been demons, and even after a few years of pause, the potential of the Sky Wolf Group has not been affected at all. These proud teenagers are confident that they will return to the top of the times.

So, the three-month emergency practice began as a matter of course. The members of the Sky Wolf Group went to various places to carry out their own special training and gave up their work. Anyway, the work on the task board is not enough for so many people, so it is better to give it to others.

As for the economic losses caused during the period...... Anyway, there's a big prize money after winning the championship, so no problem!

The long-lost Elusa team reunites, and Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Charlulu, and Harpy choose to team up for special training.

Others also went their separate ways to squeeze their potential.

It is worth mentioning that Mila Jeanne rarely did not act with Elufmann and Lisana to form the Strauss family team. Instead, they choose to team up with Rebi, and the two girls try to continue collecting fragments of the magic book and finding Woz's traces while training them.

……

Time was slowly passing, and when there was still more than a month before the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts began, Woz, who had been sleeping for five hundred years, finally gradually woke up.

Consciousness first returns, allowing Wolds to feel "himself", and then he allows consciousness to connect to his body, and the whole process is like a soul possession.

Woz was already familiar with this whole process, and every time he was injured and unconscious, there would be such a process. So he waited unusually calmly and patiently for his body to wake up.

Finally, Woz was able to sense every part of his body, and it was time to wake up.

But he found that he couldn't move, and a cold, piercing chill came from all over his body. Because he was an ice magician, the cold didn't make him uncomfortable.

It took a great deal of effort for Woz to open his eyes, only to realize that he was still sealed in a thick crust of ice. Through the crystal clear ice, Lulua can be seen lying in a bird's nest not far away.

Gradually, Woz's thinking ability was also back online, and he finally remembered that he was hibernating, because he was contaminated by the blood of the evil dragon, Woz had to choose to hibernate in ice, which could not only cure the dragon's blood curse, but also realize the plan to return to the future, which was really a double win!

The ice shell outside of him was formed by the spell cast by the ice dragon Corell himself to protect Woz.

The Frozen Throne beneath Woz was created by his own magic, his own magic. But over time, the two different forces gradually merged, and the throne of Woz and the ice shell outside became what they both created together.

This shell can't be forcibly broken yet, otherwise the Wox inside will be shattered as well!

And because it is mixed with the magic belonging to the ice dragon Corell, Woz has no way to use ice magic to eliminate this ice shell, and the only way is to use Woz's own magic to "stretch it out" little by little, and then dissolve it.

Of course, there is a better way: after all, this is all the magic of ice, and as long as Woz wants to, he can easily absorb and fuse the power that belongs to the ice dragon Corell. Just as Gray was later able to parse Silver's "Ice of Evil Slayer" and become an Ice Slayer Demon Guide, Woz can also absorb the power of this ice to become an Ice Slayer Dragon Slayer Demon Guide. In that case, the ice would no longer be a problem at all.

But Woz wasn't willing to do that. He had always rejected Korrell's invitation to become an Ice Slayer Magus. Woz wasn't worried that he would turn into an ice dragon, he just hoped that the magic that belonged to ice in his body could remain pure, and he would be a pure ice shape magician.

Because this magic, as well as this ice magic, is all inherited from Uru. This is a principle that Woxes could not give up anyway.

So, in the end, Wolds chose to "thaw" slowly.

The ice clinging to the surface of his body quietly outlined a faint rose ornament.
