Chapter 256: The preliminaries are about to begin
The roses on the ice crust gradually became clear, one after the other, slowly blooming into a garden around Woz. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The flowers of the ice crystals change from flat to three-dimensional, silently eroding the solid ice shell as they bloom. Wox silently watched everything in front of him, and at this rate, it would take at least a month to completely break the seal. But I've even spent hundreds of years of time, and I don't care about this short month.
The frozen movement soon alarmed Luluya in her sleep. The spirit bird's eyes widened as it met Woz's gaze. Woz couldn't speak yet, but the long-standing chemistry made it impossible for them to speak much.
"Lu~Lulu!" Luluya spread her wings excitedly, and her huge body suddenly filled the entire cavern space.
Lulua sees that Woz will need some more time to break the seal, so she goes out early to prepare a welcome ceremony for Woz.
The spirit bird, who is proficient in the natural ability of space, moves quickly, returns to the cave every few minutes, and at the same time brings special food, drinks and drinks from all over the world, new clothes and other materials, fills the entire cave, and lights a bonfire.
After doing all this, Luluya sat in front of Wox expectantly, waiting for him to come out.
Woz smiled helplessly, there was no way to tell Luluya that she needed a month. Also, how did she get so much food? It's too bullying to steal with her cherished and powerful spatial abilities!
Woz was a little worried about whether Lulua's actions would cause panic among the people. After all, she's too big, and she's a bit shocking.
After waiting all night for the campfire to go out, Lululua realized that Woz would take a little longer, and she was a little disappointed. But fortunately, she has also been baptized by time and is a little mentally prepared for waiting.
Thanks to the fact that Ilmani is located in the alpine region, and this cave is a dry ice cave, the food that Luluya brought back will not spoil quickly. Otherwise, in a month's time, she would inevitably have to go out to sweep again.
So Woz and Luluya spent the rest of their days counting the roses in the ice shell in boredom. Woz felt like he was wasting his time so extravagantly for the first time.
During this time, Woz also thought about using this time to review his magic, and then discovered a serious problem - his magic book was missing!
It's not the one before time travels, but a "Endless Page" that Wapp painstakingly imitated in ancient times. Because he was in a hurry at the time, the imitation version was naturally not as powerful as the original magic book, and Wodds knew that the original magic book was not destroyed, and he could find a way to take it back when he got out.
However, the copy of the book recorded the original manuscript of the dragon slaying technique developed by Woz! It was written word by word, hundreds of millions of words! If it is lost, it is not an ordinary trouble to make it back.
Woz could only smile bitterly in his heart again. I can't help it, my condition before I hibernate in the ice is not optimistic, and I can't take care of the book, and the devil knows where it was lost...... Five hundred years later, it is still unknown whether it will be preserved.
It seems that it will have to be re-transcribed again.
The dragon slaying technique developed by Wox is essentially an ice magic, a concrete embodiment of his concept of "dragon slaying".
But this magic is already blatantly involving the high level of "concepts" and "rules". Ice magic alone can't handle it well, so Woz has to supplement it with his own word magic. Using the text magic that could have interfered with the concept to weave a framework, with the ice modeling magic as the core, Woz turned this "dragon slaying technique" into words.
Because it was a magic that he had developed himself, Woz remembered it in its entirety, so he could have written it again. In fact, even if you don't have to write it down on paper, you can't release this magic. Chanting incantations, depicting magic arrays, and knotting mudras...... Either way, as long as the concept of dragon slaying can be clearly described, anyone can cast this powerful dragon magic.
But after all, that's a terrifying amount of 100 million words, and even if it's Woz himself, it takes half a month to use the magic skills of "speeding chanting" and "fast casting...... It doesn't have real combat significance at all.
"So...... The first thing I did when I went out was to put the dragon slaying technique into the magic book first...... Well, you'll have to find the magic book first. And after seven years of 'cooling', the original numbered magic in the book can also be used, right?"
Through the calendar that Luluya brought back, Woz also knew the current time of the year. Knowing that he was still "sleeping for seven years" like the Sky Wolf Group, and that he hadn't been cheap at all in traveling through time, Woz couldn't help but feel a little lost for a while.
A month later, Woz successfully broke the seal and left Ilmani Peak.
The Northern Continent, also known as the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, is a beautiful world covered in silver all year round. Even on a sunny day, the mountains and rivers are always covered with a thick layer of snow. Only areas with human activity, such as villages and towns, are consciously swept out, adding a touch of color to this pure white world.
Xueguo Town, the only town in this vast snow-capped mountain group, has a sizable market in the town, which is the most frequented place by people from nearby mountain villages. Every day when the snow passes and the sky is clear, it is the time when the market opens, and it is also the busiest time in the town.
"Shop Nine" is still one of the most famous shops in the town, run by the beautiful proprietor Leonor, specializing in all kinds of grain, bread, fruit and other staple foods.
Although more than twenty years have passed, Leonor still has the same beautiful appearance as before, except for a little more mature charm between her eyebrows, her appearance has hardly changed much - this has become one of the twelve incredible things in the northern kingdom.
"Hey, but you, Woz, have changed a lot. Leonor leaned lazily against the counter, "I was such a young child back then, but now I'm so mature." ”
The dove-sized Luluya sat at the counter, savoring the delicious dessert offered by Leonor.
"However, how did this bird get smaller and smaller? It can't be the offspring of that one back then, right?" the beautiful boss teased the spirit bird.
Watts smiled and explained, "Luluya has made her smaller, otherwise she's really big enough to scare people." ”
Leonor said in a leisurely tone, "Oh, yes, it seems that someone was looking for you not long ago. It's two confused girls, and they can't tell who they're looking for, but now that I think about it, I'm really looking for you, Woz!"
Woz thought for a moment, "It must be the one of Fairy Tail, right?"
Leonor shrugged, "I don't know much about magicians, but they are indeed magicians, very good female magicians. Just like Ulu back then. ”
At the mention of Ulu, the two fell silent.
After a while, it was Leonor who spoke first: "Anyway, in the past few years, people have begun to come back to pay tribute to that guy in Ulu." There's a mound built next to the house where she used to live, won't you go and see it?"
Ulu's house is located deep in the snow-capped mountains, and the terrain is relatively remote. But this is not a problem at all for the Ice Shape Magus. Although this road has not been traveled for nearly two decades, Watts still remembers it vividly.
The hut where he once lived still stands firmly, with a few clean windows—Leonor often comes to take care of it.
In the open space in front of the house, there is an intricate ice monument.
Although Leonor said it was a well-dressed mound, Gray and Leon both believed that Uru was not really dead, so they didn't actually build a tomb to come out, but only built an ice monument to commemorate it.
In front of the monument, there are three delicate roses, the product of the magic of ice shape.
Grey, Leon, Urrutia. Looking at these three slightly different flowers, Woz immediately saw who had created them.
So he did not hesitate to make a rose and place it in front of the monument.
"Can I come back...... It's just wonderful. ”
Leonor had been watching from the sidelines, and said enviously, "It's so good, this woman Uru is too happy...... Is that the benefit of having children?"
Wadsz looked at her: "The boss lady should also find someone to marry, right? ”
"No, no, no, it still doesn't work. Leonor shook her head repeatedly, "I'm not as gentle as Uru, and I don't have the patience to raise children." It's so rare to have a child as sensible as you were when you were a kid like Woz. I knew that I wouldn't let Uru give it to her. ”
Woz said, "Don't worry, when I retire, I'll come back here to retire, and I'll take care of you then." ”
Leonor rolled her eyes and waved her hand to drive Woz out, "I'm not that old, don't mention things so far away now!
"Hehe, then, I'll go first. Waz said goodbye and patted Luluya on the shoulder.
The spirit bird spread its wings, broke through the space, and took Woz away.
……
Today is the day before the preliminaries of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Audition. The two sisters, Mila Jenny and Lebby, were not late, and arrived at the royal capital of Crocas at night.
Jubian and Felid were waiting for them at the city gates. Laxus, Kana, Gajiru, Abba Greene, Pyguslo, and others had already entered the city in search of a place to stay.
Because at this time, Crokasri gathers magicians from all over the country and even the entire continent, as well as more spectators and tourists, and I am afraid that booking a hotel or something really depends on robbing.
Filid: They asked with concern about the two girls' trips and how the special training was going.
Because they spent so much time collecting spellbook fragments and finding people, Mira Jenny and Lebby had very little time to actually practice. However, Rebi is not a head-on combat type of mage in the first place, and she is not so competitive, so she is quite satisfied with the three-month itinerary. As for Mira Jenny, in fact, for S-level magicians, the effect of this kind of assault special training is already very limited, and their strength improvement is not something that can be achieved overnight, so it doesn't matter.
"By the way, what about the others?" asked Mira Jeanne.
Kana was still in a state of not leaving her wine, and said slightly drunk: "Everyone is trained separately, so they also come separately." As for the remaining members, they are expected to arrive tomorrow...... After all, everyone is busy!"
Mira Jeanne nodded in understanding. In the course of their travels, they also learned about the world at the moment.
One of the biggest changes is that a month before the official start of the Great Demon Fight, all regular guilds will launch a frenzied purge of the Dark Magician Guild. Use the most violent means, even unscrupulous means, to purge the dark guilds everywhere, and reduce the power of the Barham Alliance to the extreme.
And this was done with the tacit or even implicit encouragement of the Senate, during which the Senate relaxed the ban on "prohibiting wars between guilds".
Because during the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, all the elite forces of the regular guild will be concentrated in the royal capital of Crokas, which will inevitably cause the defense forces in various places to be empty. If you don't eradicate the local dark guild, it's really not reassuring.
The Fairy Tail Remnants are also carrying out this kind of clean-up work. Unlike other guilds, Fairy Tail has been waging this war for seven years.
Because this is the continuation of the second generation of chess games.
Neither Mebius, the second-generation player representing the light, nor Jelf, representing the darkness, officially participated in the chess match. So the second game didn't actually unfold!
Until now, a fierce conflict has erupted between the Guild Fairy Tail, who inherited the will of Mebis, and the Dark Guild, which believes in Jelf, and the reason for this is this late chess game.
Originally, the Senate was also the main force on the bright side, but gradually, the Senate began to move closer to the third-generation chess game. Order and chaos! The Senate represents order in the extreme. However, it is precisely because of this order that the entire operating system of the Senate has gradually become rigid.
In other words, why was the Guild's Sword Biting Tiger able to quickly become the new First Guild after the Fairy Tail fell silent? Why did the Council not look down on it in a variety of ways like it did with the Fairy Tail before, but instead of supporting the Guild in a variety of ways?
The reason for this is because the Sword Biting Tiger is also a guild that pursues order. This guild is orderly and hierarchical, and the president Germain has supreme authority, and no one dares to step beyond the thunder pool! It is precisely this high degree of coherence in the concept that makes the Council quite favor this guild.
Moreover, their strength is not weak at all, and they are truly worthy of the throne of the First Guild.
This is the biggest threat to the Fairy Tail cap to win the championship!
The Laxus and the others are well aware of this, so in order to win, they must send out the strongest team and do their best!
Laxus looked at a few of his companions beside him, "Since the others haven't arrived yet, let's do it." It's easy for people here to put together a 5+1 team. ”
"So, now decide who to send in this qualifier?"
