Chapter 16: The Guild of Darkness
Woz soon returned to the guild, and at this time in the Fairy Tail guild, it was the busiest time of the day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe members who did not go out of the task gathered in the lobby to chat and relax. Woz's return didn't cause much commotion, and his presence wasn't usually very high.
Instead of letting her go back, Woz set up the giant spirit bird in the guild's backyard and asked Mira Jenny to prepare a delicious snack for her.
"Hmm...... Looking for the Magic Bracelet...... Lift the curse from the cursed cane...... Divination Love ...... Destroy the demons of the volcano! The missions of the Magus are really diverse. ”
Lucy, a newcomer to the Wizards, is standing in front of the lobby quest board to pick a suitable mission. Having already flown on two missions with Natsu, she felt that she had more or less mastered the process of her work. He was looking at the task list with interest.
The sheer number and variety of task lists on the task board dazzled this fledgling girl. Attracted by all kinds of different and strange mission contents, Lucy forgot to choose for a while.
Behind the counter, Mira Jeanne kindly instructed, "Choose the task that suits you." If it's decided, let me know and let me register. Since the president is not there, I will be the final check. ”
Lucy looked back at the bar when she heard this, only to find that the place where the president usually stayed was empty: "So the president is not there?" was suddenly surprised, was it because the president was usually too short, so he was ignored by himself?
Mira Jeanne explained: "President he went to the local guild meeting in Krobah yesterday and it will take three or four days to come back. ”
Lucy wondered, "Regular meeting, local guild?"
Mira Jenny patiently explained, "It is a regular meeting organized by the guild leaders of each region to exchange information and discuss various matters. Unlike the council...... "Perhaps feeling that this explanation was not vivid enough, Mira Jeanne borrowed a magic pen and happily drew a diagram of the relationship between the guilds, and explained it at the same time," The order of the magical world on this continent is maintained by the Magical Council, which is parallel to the royal government, and the top level is the Council composed of ten great Wizards, which is responsible for handling various major events, adjudicating cases and disputes between guilds, punishing criminal wizards, etc.; Because the actual jurisdiction of the Senate does not completely cover all parts of the country, and not all guilds obey the orders of the Senate so much, such regular local meetings are needed to strengthen exchanges and ties between guilds. It's a very important job. ”
Lucy whispered, "The so-called guild that doesn't obey the council is the tail of our fairy, right?"
"It's not. Mira Jenny changed her expression to a serious expression, "Speaking of which, our guild is still one of the main forces on the Senate's side. It is also the main enemy of the guilds that do not obey the Senate. Those...... Black guy. Mira Jenny suddenly said in an eerie tone, and I don't know if she used a little transformation magic, and her originally beautiful face became extremely terrifying. Others can't help but feel creepy when they see it.
"Black guy~" Lucy suddenly heard a faint voice behind her. Looking back, it was another grimace.
Lucy was so frightened that she jumped away instantly: "Babble!"
"Hahaha, Lucy is so hilarious and makes such a weird noise. That's when Natsu's crazy laughter was heard behind him. Just now he was mischievously shining a flame under his face to make a grimace.
"Strange laughter. Harpy repeated cheerfully.
"It's not laughter!" exclaimed Lucy, "and don't be intimidating!"
Mira Jenny continued, "The so-called black guys have always existed, oh, referring to those dark guilds. ”
"Dark Guild?" Lucy felt the horror beneath the name.
"It refers to a guild that is not affiliated with the Alliance, and sometimes even accepts all kinds of assassinations, kidnappings and other criminal missions, in short, it is a very bad guy! Because it is not recognized by the Council, it goes underground and becomes a dark guild, which ordinary people usually can't reach. Mira Jenny said, "Because of their different philosophies, the dark guild often has a huge conflict with our regular guilds, and they are almost mortal enemies. So you have to be careful in the future. ”
Lucy felt a tremendous pressure: "Dark Guild, this terrifying name when you hear it, is this the enemy you will face in the future? I didn't know that magicians were such a dangerous profession!"
Natsu didn't take it to heart at all: "Come on, come on, no matter how much you come, you can punch it away!"
Lucy said weakly: "This kind of guy, let's be taken away by the black guy quickly." ”
Mira Jenny comforted Lucy: "Don't worry too much, the usual quest won't involve the Dark Guild." Saying that, Mira Jenny began to hesitate as she remembered the demon's heart...... Shouldn't that be a problem?," she asked, looking at Woz.
"Hey, it's Woz-senpai. Only then did Lucy realize that Wads, who had been unknown beside her, was sitting in his exclusive place in the corner, and hurriedly went up to say hello.
Mila Jeanne said, "Speaking of which, it always feels a little strange that Lucy's familiar mission wasn't brought by Woz." ”
"Really?" asked Lucy, "is there anything else that matters?"
"No, it's just that everyone is used to having Woz lead the newcomers. Mira Jenny shook her head, "It's a little unaccustomed to a sudden change." ”
"I've heard Natsu say something similar. Woz-senpai must be very powerful, right?" said Lucy, with a wistful look on her face.
Mira Jenny explains: "It's one thing, it's the point that Woz is really the right job. With his help, even newcomers can give full play to all their strengths. ”
Natsu also said, "Yes, with Woz here, you can do it freely." ”
No, you're going to do it all the time. Lucy complained silently, she couldn't even imagine the consequences of Natsu's full fire.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, and I'll have the opportunity to work together in the future," Wadsz said. ”
"No, it doesn't matter. Lucy smiled and waved her hand, "I'm looking forward to your teachings too." ”
"Don't be nervous. Woz comforted her, "You're doing a good job now, it seems that you are a good match with Natsu and Harpy." ”
Lucy was surprised, "Why is it already a default combination?"
"It's okay, Lucy, we're partners. Natsu grinned, "And Lucy is a nice guy." ”
"Hey, Lucy is a good person. Harpy said cheerfully.
"Now, if you don't have interest, you can refuse to form a team. You don't have to team up with this idiot at all. Gray on the other side interjected, "I heard that you are very good, and you can already work alone." Like defeating the southern wolf brothers alone, and a woman like a gorilla. With this kind of strength, no matter who you team with, you will be welcomed. ”
Lucy hurriedly explained, "No, it's not me, it's actually Natsu who did it. ”
Gray's face suddenly turned as if he had eaten a fly, and he turned to Natsu and shouted, "Why are you stupid?"
"Do you have an opinion?" Natsu snapped up.
"Why are you still here, you idiot!"
"I don't need you to care, naked man, pervert!"
"Do you dare to say it again? bastard!"
Soon, the two were already fighting.
A man with short brown hair came to Lucy's side and pushed his sunglasses, and said in a chic manner: "Beautiful young lady, don't pay attention to those rude people, why don't we two team up, just ...... tonight" Lucy didn't react for a while, and didn't know how to deal with this famous playboy, but Rocky saw the key case she hung around her waist.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, Rocky jumped back exaggeratedly, crossing his hands in front of him: "No, I didn't expect it to be a Star Spirit Wizard." Is this a joke of fate? I'm sorry, I think we're done. So saying, he ran away.
"When did we start!" exclaimed Lucy.
Mira Jenny said, "Speaking of which, Rocky can't do anything about the Star Spirit Wizard, I heard that he has been rejected by the Star Spirit Wizard or something before. ”
"Ah, is it?" said Lucy, smiling dryly.
Here Natsu and Gray are playing lively, and there is a tendency to expand the battle, as usual. I saw Rocky, who had just run out, hurrying back to the guild.
"Back again?" Lucy bewildered.
Rocky stood in the doorway with a somewhat panicked tone and shouted, "Oh no!
