With a burst of magic around Vaal, the barrier set up for the battle finally shattered, and the slightly chaotic sounds of the streets came in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Fortunately, the attention of the citizens was attracted to the game, and no one would notice it for a while.

Moments later, a large man "squeezed" into the alley and crouched down beside the robot's wreckage.

"It looks like it's been a tough battle. Franklin said in a loud voice, fiddling with a piece of wreckage with his thick fingers, "Which one is the most important?" ”

“…… Why are you saboteurs coming to pick me up!, missionary?" Val's electronic voice was a rare tone of helplessness.

"He's a long way away and he'll be there soon. Franklin patiently explained, "Also, just now, not only you, but me, the missionary, and Zhang Xuqian were all attacked by the dragon monster, so the reaction will be a little slower." ”

"That's enough, I know what you're trying to say! Again, this mech is just an engineering model, you can't expect an engineer to fight!"

Franklin said, "I really didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just a little emotional, these monsters are getting more and more arrogant, and they dare to take the initiative to attack this year. ”

"So they showed up a long time ago?"

"Yes, we discovered this abnormal magic fluctuation as early as the first Great Demon Fighting Exercise, and this magic fluctuation increased year by year - during the Great Demon Fighting Exercise. Franklin explained, "We have done a lot of research on this phenomenon, and the chess players have come up with quite interesting speculations......

Val fell silent, his eyes flashing rapidly, and after a moment, "Tell the missionary, I will be here myself in twenty-nine minutes and forty-five seconds." ”

"I thought you'd never be willing to step out of that lab. ”

"I need first-hand information, and those of you who aren't scientists can't do that for me," Val said. ”

Franklin suddenly laughed: "Speaking of scientists, Daphne's girl is almost here, right? Because these monsters are dragon monsters, she won't be absent from the annual Great Demon Fighting Exercise." ”

As the two spoke, the missionary finally arrived, followed by the puppet who was the Inquisitor and the Discipliner.

"It's not looking good. As soon as he appeared, the missionary said, "These dragon monsters are very strong! I'm afraid they can catch up with our latest dragon guard IV, right?"

"It's not much different, but my latest achievement is the Dragon Guardian 5! I can beat this dragon monster in a one-on-one way. Val corrected.

"But their numbers are the biggest problem. "No one knows how many of these monsters are hidden in this city!" and, more importantly, they are not the biggest problem—the dragon monsters are at best some kind of by-product. ”

"So it's a troublesome problem?" said Franklin, "and I hate this kind of trouble most of all. Is it really good that the chess player doesn't come?" "In the eyes of the chess players, especially in the eyes of pure martial arts people like Franklin, it is better for this kind of matter that requires the use of brains to be solved by the adults themselves.

The missionary shrugged: "Your Excellency will not come this time. But he's got a strong helper for us......" he said, pulling out the communicator from his pocket, "I'll leave it to him if you want to use your brain!"

……

In the audience area of Fairy Tail, Woz suddenly sensed something and took out the communicator.

Mira Jeanne had been paying attention to his movements, and immediately realized something: "Is something wrong?"

Not long ago, Watts had said that he was going to help keep order in the balance during the tournament. Now that there was a sudden movement, she keenly sensed that something must have something to do with it.

"I probably know something about the abnormal magic fluctuations during the Great Demon Fight. Waz explained, "As for the details, I'll investigate it myself." ”

Mebis came up to Wads, and his little face was full of seriousness and seriousness: "Woz! You should know what this feeling represents." I don't care what agreement you made with that player, please be on your own!"

Seeing that the first president also looked nervous, Mira Jenny became even more worried: "Why don't I go with you?"

Woz shook his head with a smile and said, "You still have to stay and continue to compete, since you have come to participate, don't leave any regrets, and get the championship back!"

Gray had arrived at some point, and was standing not far behind Woz and overheard their conversation.

"Well, if you don't worry about Woz going alone, call a few companions. Gray suggested, "I happen to know that someone is looking into something. ”

After a moment's thought, Woz immediately recalled, "You mean the witch's sin? It turns out that this is what they are pursuing......

"You really know everything. Gray sighed, "Because I just came into contact with them not long ago, I still have contact with them." ”

It's because Urrutia is in the witch's sin! That's why Gray pays so much attention to them. After the incident on Sirius Island, after seven years of meeting again, Urrutia has completely changed her personality, and Gray doesn't quite know what happened, but he is still happy to get along with Master Uru's daughter.

Did Urrutia finally change her ways?Woz felt a little dazed, and suddenly, he really felt how long that had been a decade.

Woz's "external memory memory", the endless pages of the magic book, is left in this world, and he has to devote himself to developing new magic. Let the recorder who claims to never forget also "forget" many things.

Especially living in a completely unfamiliar world for ten years, without the slightest connection with the normal world he is familiar with, it is easy to forget the people and things in the past.

Woz's special soul structure allowed him to survive the passage of time and successfully return to the correct timeline. As soon as he retrieved the magic book, Woz began to read the memory backup stored in the book, and contacted the intelligence dealer "Spider", and obtained various intelligence inquiries for the past seven years to fill his database.

By forcibly filling in memories like this, Woz was able to seamlessly reintegrate into the world.

It's just that how big the cracks are covered by such a connection is known only to Wox himself. Suddenly looking back, it looks like a world away!

"Woz, are you alright?" asked Mira Jenny with concern.

Woz smiled and reached out to rub the girl's head, brushing her smooth silver hair: "It's nothing, don't worry about me." ”

After saying that, Wox got up and left: "Then I'll go." Already caught their magic fluctuations. ”

Woz didn't use Luluya's space to jump anymore, and chose to walk over in person. I always felt like I was waking up from hibernation and becoming more lazy, which made Woz feel the need to be a little more active.

To be sure, Urrutia must have been watching the Fairy Tail camp through her crystal ball, and as soon as Woz stepped out of the arena, she saw three suspicious cloaked figures waiting for her.

"Long time no see. Urrutia took off her hood first, revealing her beautiful face underneath, and looked at Woz with a complicated expression.

"It's been a long time. Wolds nodded.

"I didn't expect you to actually travel back in time and back to the ancient ......," Urrutia sighed, and by observing the magic, she also heard what Woz had to say, much to her surprise as a time magician - no one knew more about the difficulty of traveling through time than Urrutia.

The petite woman next to her also shows her face, it is Melti who has left the heart of the demon with Urrutia.

Melti grinned: "Originally, Urrutia thought that you had been sealed for seven years like Gray, and she was still preparing to become your real senior sister, but I didn't expect that ten years had passed in your timeline......"

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled behind him by the annoyed Urrutia who covered his mouth and pulled him back.

Looking at Urrutia, who was a little embarrassed, Woz smiled lightly: "Actually, my real age should be even older - if you count the hibernation time, I'm probably the oldest human in the world, or the longest creature known so far, even Akunorolia is about the same age as me, right?"

The three people on the other side could only show helpless looks, Woz's experience and practices were beyond their imagination, and they felt that he was already on a completely different level.

Gerald coughed and forced back the subject, "Now let's talk about investigating anomalous magic." We, the Witch's Sin, have also noticed this phenomenon for six years, except for the first Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, we will secretly investigate every subsequent session, but we have had little success. ”

"But this time, we feel that this anomalous magic has become extraordinarily clear and unprecedentedly powerful!" Urrutia continued, "So we judge that something will definitely happen during this year's Great Demon Fighting Exercise, and we must be prepared to deal with it!"

Melti added: "Also, we have confirmed that these anomalies are related to Jelf. Both Jelf and Urrutia feel his power!"

Woz was stunned when he heard this: "Something to do with Jelf?"

"That's right. Urrutia nodded in acknowledgement, "I do perceive that absolutely dark magic, and it is undoubtedly the power of Jelf!"

"Oh, is that so......," Wads thought, "things are getting more interesting." ”

He looked up at the three of the witch's sin: "Without further ado, let's hurry up and start an investigation, how about dividing up the division of labor and taking charge of half of the area?"

Urrutia frowned, "Aren't you going to join us, so what's the point of asking us to help?"

Waz replied with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm better at acting alone now." ”

In the ten years of ancient times, except for the occasional return to the Zhongren tribe to teach two apprentices, Woz had always wandered alone in the wilderness, and he had no companions, so he would not have the opportunity to cooperate with others.

"And I'm going to meet up with the Scales first, are you sure you want to go together?" Wads asked.

"That's right...... Forget it, Woz, you need to be safe!" Urrutia simply turned away.

The Witch's Sin is no stranger to the Balance Organization, and has dealt with several of its pawns head-on, so he is reluctant to come into direct contact with them.

You must know that although it has been reformed and whitewashed, the witch's sin is essentially an organization that wanders between black and white. In the process of walking the rivers and lakes, they inevitably follow the oldest rule -- the strong are respected! That is to say, when they meet strange people with a certain strength, they are more inclined to directly use their fists to "communicate" with magic.

The fate with the balance organization and the chess pieces is probably formed in this way.

So in order to avoid unnecessary conflict and embarrassment, the trio of Witch's Sin chose to run away.

Woz, who was speeding through various intelligence inquiries, certainly had the relevant information.

Seeing the three of them walk away, Wodds also set off to walk towards the location where the communicator was located.

"I finally understand why chess players have become so lazy. "I'm getting lazy too!" said Woz as he walked! ”

Woz quickened his pace and walked forward, trying to activate his body and mind with strenuous activity.

Just as Woz was walking faster and faster, about to turn into a run, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange image out of the corner of his eye.

In the shadows of the roadside houses, several humanoid figures quietly emerged. But they're more humanoid monsters than humanoids.

The monsters let out a low roar, then suddenly stepped out of the shadows and charged towards Woz!
