Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wizard on the Second Floor
The atmosphere in the guild was depressed for two days because of Elusa's arrest, and because Natsu impulsively ran to disrupt the trial and try to rescue Elusa, he and Elusa, who could have returned that day, were detained for another day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The two didn't return to the guild until the third day.
After such twists and turns, Rao was as tough as Elusa also felt a little physically and mentally tired, and after returning to the guild, he did not immediately look for a job, but stayed in the hall to rest like everyone else. Natsu was still alive, pestering Elusa to continue the duel.
Elusa, who was a little helpless, sighed and agreed, "Okay. With that, he stretched out his hand and summoned a huge wooden hammer from the costume space, and before Natsu could react, Elusa rounded the hammer and knocked Natsu into the air like a ball, causing it to fly out of the gate and disappear into the distance as a small black dot in the sky.
Elusa carried the hammer, looked up, and nodded in satisfaction: "It's over." ”
Lucy's eyes widened next to her: "Home run, fly so far! It's so powerful! The gap is too big, right?"
Gray shrugged, "That's why Natsu is such a fool to challenge Elusa so headlessly." ”
"But thanks to Natsu, the atmosphere of the guild has come alive, and it was really depressing just now. Someone suddenly spoke next to Lucy.
Turning his head, he saw that Woz, who had been sitting in his old seat for some time, was sipping the drink in his hand listlessly.
Lucy was taken aback: "Wads-senpai." When did you arrive?"
Mira Jenny smiled on the side: "Hehe, Woz's presence is still so low." ”
"It's also a rare skill, it's very useful when lurking, fighting or something. Wadsz retorted solemnly.
Lucy was frightened, "Huh, huh?"
Mila Jeanne said, "Don't listen to Lucy, Wox is joking." ”
It turns out that the Woz seniors are also joking!" Lucy complained silently. Looking at Woz's straight face, it still didn't feel like he was joking.
At this time, the chairman, who had been sitting at the bar drinking, raised his head and said, "Huh? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mira Jenny, who returned to the bar, fainted softly and fell to the ground.
Plop, plop, plop...... The people in the guild fell to the ground and fell asleep. Elusa couldn't resist the sudden strong drowsiness, and struggled desperately for a while, but finally couldn't resist falling asleep.
Makarov remained conscious, but his eyelids were lowered and he looked unrefreshed.
Da, da...... In the silence, the sound of approaching footsteps was unusually clear. The last time I could hear such a clear footstep was when Elusa returned, and it can be said that for various reasons, the people who can make everyone in this guild quiet down to greet are well-deserved strong people - this is the default etiquette for the return of strong people in the guild.
A man wrapped in a black cloak and a turban mask even around his head, leaving only a slit to expose his eyes to the guild gate, walked into the guild gate, holding a stout magic staff, and even more bizarre was that he was carrying four different magic wands behind him, making it hard to imagine how he would use magic.
"Misgang. Makarov, who knew the silent nature of the comer, was the first to call out his name.
The latter nodded, didn't make a sound, just walked to the task board and took down a task list, showing it to the president, indicating that he wanted to take the task.
At this moment, Wox's voice suddenly came from the side: "Long time no see, Misgang." ”
Misgangon wasn't surprised that Woz was still conscious, but just turned his head to look at him.
"Please don't run too far if you can. Woz was unaffected by the sleep magic, and he didn't look up at Mister Height, but was concentrating on writing something, "I'm going on vacation tomorrow." The vacant forces in the guild need your help to take care of them. ”
For the first time, Misgang spoke: "If there are no accidents, you can. But the words were short, and when they had finished speaking, they did not linger any longer, and turned to leave.
As he walked away, the powerful sleep magic began to dissolve.
Elusa, who had been desperately resisting, was the first to come to her senses.
"Damn, is that Mystergan guy again?" she seemed unhappy that she couldn't resist the other party's magic.
The other people around also sobered up, and most of them looked helpless, but did not look the slightest surprised, obviously used to similar things for a long time.
Lucy also rubbed the corners of her eyes and got up and asked, "What's the matter?" "As a newcomer, she was the only one who didn't understand the situation.
"It's Mistergan who just came back. "He doesn't seem to want to be seen, so he always uses magic to put everyone to sleep beforehand." ”
Lucy was surprised and said, "So willful?"
Mira Jenny also smiled bitterly: "We don't know why, but maybe it's the quirks unique to the so-called strong people, right? Because he is an S-class magician, everyone forgives this willfulness." She looked at Woz, "Except for the president, only Wox knows his true face." But if both of them agree with him, there will be no problem. ”
"Not only that, but I've seen that guy for real. He's just a shy person. Suddenly there was a voice from the railing on the second floor.
Looking up, Laxus was leaning on the railing with a cigar in his mouth and looking down at the hall below.
Mira Jeanne asked, "Laxus, why are you still here?
"That kind of task, just leave it to Filid. Laxus didn't care, "I'm waiting for you, Woz." Do you think it's okay to hide for two days?"
Woz shrugged and said, "So I just said that I was going on vacation, and I would temporarily leave the guild sequence. You're not going to go along, are you?"
"Forget it, your ability to dodge the fight with me is also top-notch. I was careless last time. When you're ready and can't make excuses, I'll tell you what's really powerful. ”
Hearing Laxus's words, there was a commotion in the guild. This is not the same as Natsu challenging Elusa, but a duel between two S-class magicians! And listening to what Laxus said, it seems that he still lost? This is big news, but because of the majesty of "Thor", no one dares to comment on anything casually.
Hearing the duel, Natsu, who had just returned, immediately burst into flames and shouted, "Laxus, come and duel with me, I'm ready at any time." ”
Laxus said disdainfully, "Forget it, you guy, who can't even beat Elusa, what qualifications do you have to let me do it." ”
Elusa stood up, "What do you mean by that?"
Laxus laughed, "That's what you mean, what do you think?" ”
"Damn, arrogant fellow!" Natsu cried, "are you scared?"
Laxus hooked his fingers, "Scared? I'm standing here, and I'm going to have the ability to come up. ”
Natsu said irritably, "Okay, you wait!" and rushed up the stairs to the second floor.
Makarov shouted: "Wait, Natsu, you are not qualified enough. ”
But Natsu had ignored the president's warning and was about to run upstairs. Makarov stretched out a hand, partially turned into a giant hand, and hammered Natsu down with a punch, pressing him to the ground: "It's all said that you are not qualified enough." Be quiet!"
"Oh, I've been taught. Laxus teased gloatingly.
Makarov looked upstairs: "Laxus, you can stop in moderation." ”
"Old man, you're still too soft-hearted, this kind of person who doesn't understand the rules, let's get rid of it as soon as possible. Laxus dropped a word and walked into the room.
Lucy looked upstairs: "He's so arrogant." ”
"But Laxus does have the right to be arrogant. Elusa said reluctantly.
Lucy suddenly remembered the S-class magicians of the guild introduced by Elusa, and suddenly said, "I see, Laxus, and Mystergang just now are all S-class magicians like Elusa! ”
Mira Jenny smiled and said, "So Elusa has already introduced me, but I'm afraid I'm not the same now, right?"
Elusa said, "Why, you have never been deprived of your qualifications. Even if you don't do any more tasks, you can still go up to the second floor, right?"
"I want to ask. Lucy raised her hand weakly, "What does that so-called 'second floor' mean, why is Natsu not qualified or anything......" She looked at Natsu, who was still lying in front of the stairs, "Do you mean that you have to be able to take the president's blow before you can go up?"
Mira Jenny pricked up her finger and entered the commentary mode: "Since Lucy already knows about the S-class magician, then she will also think that there is a corresponding S-class mission, right? Therefore, the tasks on the second floor are all extremely difficult tasks that the Council and the President have determined to be very difficult, and the slightest carelessness will kill you, that is, S-class missions that only S-class magicians can do. Therefore, the president stipulated that only S-class magicians could go up to the second floor. ”
Elusa admonished beside her, "It's too early for Lucy to go on an S-class mission. ”
"I didn't even think about it!" exclaimed Lucy.
Mira Jeanne also said, "Yes! those missions are really dangerous, so don't go there." ”
"So, I'm not going to do such a dangerous thing. Lucy shook her head. At the same time, he looked at Natsu, he should be worried that it was Natsu, right? Only he would be interested in this kind of thing without fear of death.
Mira Jenny looked at Wads, "Woz, are you really going on vacation?"
Elusa said approvingly, "Indeed, you should take a break to recuperate, Woz, your injuries are always not as fast as ordinary magicians." ”
Lucy was surprised and said, "Eh, Woz-senpai was injured? when? Could it be during the duel with Laxus?"
Woz shook his head, "No, it was earlier. Don't worry, injuries are no longer a problem. I just want to be alone and think about what's next. ”
In the afternoon, Woz left the city of Magnolia without summoning Luluja, and took the train to the seaside city of Harugian for a vacation.
The next day, Natsu and Harpy, stimulated by Laxus, stole an S-class mission list on the second floor of the guild and successfully encouraged Lucy to go to the "Isle of the Damned" mission to the seaside city of Harugian.
