Chapter 239: The Fairy in the Forest
Date: Winter 785 in the forest on the outskirts of Magnoria, the headquarters of the Fairy Tail Guild. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hidden among the lush trees is an elaborate tree tower, a banner stretched out by branches on the doorway, and the fairy's tail guild coat of arms is prominently displayed.
An open space was opened in front of the tree building, where original wooden tables and chairs were set up - a large tree stump and a few small wooden piers, and the open space behind the tree building was converted to dry clothes and bed sheets. All these scenes in front of him made this first guild that once reigned over the world full of life.
A rich green blooms at the top of the treehouse, turning it into a natural roof for the guild to shelter from the elements. Fairy Tail's tree tower is also the tallest in the nearby forest, and can easily be seen from the canopy, including cities several kilometers away.
Mr. Porusica's cabin in the woods is in the other direction of the forest, and in the middle of the forest there is an uninhabited cottage where the Fairy Tail advance team lived before the official construction of the treehouse.
At that time, the two women who came to choose the site were Lucky and Biska, who found the well-preserved forest villa, but it seemed that it had been uninhabited for a while, and the ground was covered with dust, and they could step on the footprints.
In order to repay the kindness of the borrower, the two daughters took the initiative to clean up for the owner of the house. Then I found a large collection of books in the largest room, and I realized that this was actually Leiby's "secret library", no wonder the kid had so many books and didn't fill his dormitory......
Fairy Tail then decided to use the villa as the guild's library - which greatly reduced their engineering burden. As a long-standing sorcerer, Fairy Tail retains a wealth of books and materials that are invaluable to sorcerers.
Due to the disappearance of the guild leader and a large number of main members of the guild, there is a inheritance fault in the fairy tail, and many "vaults" in the guild that can only be opened by the guild leader and S-class magicians have been completely sealed, and a large amount of knowledge has disappeared. It can be said that thanks to the large collection of books they found in Leiby, they have somewhat recovered some of the knowledge inheritance, especially the training course for apprentices - Fairy Tail has the most complete magician training system, in fact, all guilds today, even including the Council Wizard Army, have borrowed from the magician talent cultivation system created by Fairy Tail!
This is crucial, and it is precisely because of the discovery of the complete set of tutorial manuscripts of Rebi that Macao, the leader of the four generations who was appointed in danger, was able to continue to implement the teaching and training system, so that the inheritance of the fairy tail was not interrupted.
The apprentices, who had been hiding behind the full members and studying and living in peace, quickly grew up to become excellent magicians who could take charge of their own affairs. It is precisely with the continuous addition of these new blood that Fairy Tail has survived the most difficult days.
The growth rate of people in times of crisis has always been very fast, and the new generation of magicians who are still young have become their predecessors, and as the new backbone and pillar of the fairy tail, they continue to write their glory in the name of the elf.
Lucky is one of them. If there is an S-level promotion exam this year, this girl who has always been withdrawn and low-key will definitely be one of the candidates on the list.
Ginana climbed the narrow staircase to the top of the canopy, carefully balancing herself so that her afternoon tea would not spill.
In the canopy of the tree was a sizable platform, empty of a throne made entirely of wood, with the throne facing the direction of the forest.
A purple-haired girl sits on a throne by Lucky Orrietta, the Wood Wizard and the builder of the treetower, now the guardian of Fairy Tail.
"Good afternoon, Lucky!" said Ginana, smiling.
Le Qi stopped looking, pushed her glasses and smiled gently: "Thank you for your hard work, and you specially sent me desserts." ”
She reached out and tapped it, and the wooden floor twisted and twisted into a small coffee table and an intricately shaped chair.
"Well...... It's just a little thing, and it's not enough to worry about. Ginana sat down in her chair, "It's Leqi that you've really worked hard." Sit here every day...... You're going to be tired, right?"
"No, I'm used to it. On the contrary, my magic has grown rapidly as a result. Lucky leaned forward and picked up her teacup, the long skirt on her legs blown away by the wind, and her legs could be seen lignified and connected to the throne.
Le Qi didn't care about the condition of his body, but said optimistically: "If the Sky Wolf Group comes back, I may be stronger than most of them." ”
"Yes, after all, Le Qi's strength has improved a lot over the past year. Ginana nodded in agreement.
The two tacitly skipped certain topics and did not go deeper.
"Whew...... It's so peaceful, these days. Holding the teacup, Le Qi exhaled a hot breath and looked lazily at the forest sea outside.
Ginana was also deeply touched: "Yes, the world has been much more stable in the past few months. Well...... In the past half a year, the guys of the Dark Guild have suffered enough, and it is natural for them to be quiet now, right?"
Saying that, Ginana showed a look of shame: "It's a pity that I don't have as much magic as everyone else, so I can't participate in the battle......"
"Don't be so pessimistic, Ginana also plays a very important role. Lucky stretched out her hand, and a branch suddenly grew in the shade of the tree above her head, growing to the side of the girl opposite and blooming a small purple flower, "Ginana takes care of everyone very gently, presides over the logistics of the guild, supports our battles behind the scenes, and encourages everyone in difficult times...... You've done a great job of taking over Mila Jenny's job. ”
At this time, there was a commotion downstairs.
"Is Uncle Macyo angry again?" said Lucky.
"Well, Mr. President lost his temper when he came back from the city just now. There are many foreign guilds in Magnolia City, and when they heard that they were going to forcibly buy our guild building, Mr. President had a big fight with them. ”
Le Qi pouted disdainfully: "Are you another bunch of guys trying to take advantage! Do you really think our fairy tail is easy to bully?"
"Well...... And it's no wonder they are. "After all, we were once the first guild of the kingdom, and there are many people who want to step on us to become famous." ”
"Tsk! Obviously the guys in the Dark Guild are annoying enough...... And get distracted to get tangled up with these idiots. What are you talking about them, and it's our style to do it directly!"
Lucky stomped her foot, and then her voice echoed throughout the tree, "Tell those who intend to dye the elf's tail property that they have the ability to 'discuss' it next time they come here!"
Macao smiled bitterly and said, "Stop it, my aunt." After the last time the thirteen Dark Guild coalition forces attacked this place and wiped out all the troops, who would dare to approach this forest so easily?"
"Since you know that we are strong, what are you cowardly!"
Macao continued to smile wryly: "I know we are strong, but others don't. At the end of the day, we still don't have enough deterrence. If only Laxus and Elusa were ......."
Faces suddenly stiffened, and the entire guild was silent, and everyone lowered their heads and fell into silence and sadness.
Macao opened his mouth to try to persuade him, but in the end he could only sigh, after all, he couldn't even persuade himself.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a woman with a beautiful figure entered haughtily.
"Hey, hey, what's going on with this atmosphere?" Jin Wenyue walked over with a long knife in her arms, "Such a dignified atmosphere is not suitable for the tail of a fairy at all!"
Macao perked up: "Why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm here to visit my lovely disciple. Jin Wenyue smiled charmingly, "There is also the ...... to persuade that child to join my 'Sword Queen' guild."
"No, allow me to refuse again. Still thin, the sickly-looking Yan Qishi simply refused the teacher's invitation.
"Don't do this......" Jin Wenyue let out an exaggerated cry. But the goblins who were familiar with this woman's temperament were not surprised, and watched her act coldly.
After pretending to cry for a while, and finding that no one was paying attention, Jin Wenyue also calmly returned to normal. Then he said to Macao seriously: "Actually, there is another incidental purpose for coming to you this time. My guild has recently taken on a couple of troublesome tasks, and I'm a sorcerer who has come to hire your fairy tail. ”
Makao looked at her with a strange expression, "Are you sure?, backed by an entire alliance of mercenaries, would hire a mage for a mission?"
"Well...... Because my mission involves a lot of magic, of course I have to find a professional. Jin Wenyue shrugged, "Of course the others don't matter, just let Qishi go with me!"
The newcomer magician Shi Lilin, who was at the same time as Qi Shi, couldn't help but say: "Qi Shi's combat power relies on simple swordsmanship, right? On the contrary, Sister Wen Yue, your tricks have integrated a lot of magic skills...... Strictly speaking, you're more of a sorcerer than Nanami. ”
Wakaba took his pipe in his mouth and said, "Aren't you just here to help us and introduce us to work?"
Jin Wenyue didn't deny it again this time: "It turns out that your guild's finances are indeed in crisis, right?"
Wakaba, the president's advisor to the guild's finances, was silent. Indeed, Fairy Tail is now on the verge of bankruptcy!
Fairy Tail never seems to have bothered with money since its inception. But as mentioned earlier, with the disappearance of the head of the Guild Makarov and all the S-class magicians, a large part of the guild's property has been sealed and cannot be unlocked!
At this time, the fairy tail is like sitting on a treasure house, but there is no key to open the door.
Jin Wenyue pointed at Macao angrily and reprimanded: "...... What a fool! Originally, these battles could be counted as missions to get rewards and bounties, just because you refused to give up your first position and fought a war with the Barham League for half a year! And it was a gratuitous action! You deserve to be bankrupt!"
“…… It's common sense that you have to pay for a guild to fight! Even at the lowest price, you can buy another building for the money you have paid for the battles you have conducted in the past year, and you will still be reduced to here?"
Macao explained with a bitter face: "We moved here to avoid fighting in the city......"
"I know, but the fact now is that you can't even redeem the guild building from the city government, right?" Jin Wenyue snorted, "Then don't you hurry up and cooperate with me! If it weren't for my precious disciple, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"
With a handful of goblin's tail, Jin Wenyue felt refreshed. She also lived in Fairy Tail for a while last year, but at that time, there were many strong people in the guild, especially those S-level magicians, which made Jin Wenyue very stressed. Now that all their masters are gone, Jin Wenyue takes the initiative to attack and enjoy it first.
"By the way, I am also investigating the intelligence about last year's incident. Jin Wenyue added, "The Tianping Organization has confirmed that someone is involved and has returned safely." But the group has always been secretive and low-key, and I can't find any more information. Even the reason why they went to Sirius Island was unknown. ”
"The Balance Organization is a chessboard-based existence," Marcao said. It's also normal that you can't find the message. Because our fairy tails have a similar identity, I think that's why we can barely communicate with them. ”
"I think they must have been trying to get more information about the game from Fairy Tail. Wakaba concluded.
Jin Qishi blinked his beautiful eyes: "So...... Since it is a so-called chess game, who is the other side of the balance organization besides it?"
Macao shrugged: "Who knows, the game itself is already a secret, and it is easy for the opponent to hide his identity." ”
