Chapter 177: Black Clouds Crush the City
What is a scientist? The crowd of onlookers looked at each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Maybe it's a foreign name?" someone muttered quietly.
Daphne's eyebrows were raised high, and he was about to retort, but as soon as he didn't tighten his collar, he was pulled away by the chess player who came behind him.
"Don't go, Master Scientist!" a few shopkeeper-like people hurriedly followed, "Do you sell that monster puppet from before?"
"That's my dragon soldier! not a monster puppet......! Let me go, adults......"
In the hotel room where Daphne was staying, the chess player sat on the only chair and looked coldly at the woman in front of him.
"Hehe, my lord, are you really here?Are you the road?Do you want to eat first?I found a very nice restaurant here!"
The chess player rubbed the corners of his forehead and felt a headache again.
"Let's stop talking nonsense, you've been here for a few days, how are you doing with intelligence gathering?"
Daphne immediately handed over a thick stack of papers.
The chess player was surprised, took a look, and threw his backhand aside: "This...... Wasn't it sent by Zhang Xuqian?"
Daphne looked like a matter of course: "Yes, isn't she the one in charge of the intelligence of the fairy tails, especially the Woz?
"So what have you been doing these days!"
"I've taught a good lesson to the equipment manufacturing industry here!" Daphne's eyebrows fluttered, "You don't know how crazy those guys were when they first started! I thought it was great to be in the same city with Fairy Tail, but I showed one of the dragon soldiers, and they were stunned! Hmph, what a bunch of dirt buns, if the mechanical dragon remains are still there, it won't scare them to death!"
"......" The chess player looked at her speechlessly, and finally sighed, "Okay, I won't blame you, just be quiet." ”
Daphne shut up instantly, changed to a serious expression, and stood upright like a soldier.
Knowing that this woman was pretending, the chess player was still very relieved, at least his ears could be cleaner.
"I've been walking around the city for the past two days to see what is going on, to get acquainted with it, and then I'm going to look for Woz. You also restrain a little and don't get too noticeable. ”
Daphne pouted: "Don't be so careful, my lord, the fairy tails are very easy to get along with, and you can often meet them when you go shopping, and you invited me to be a guest yesterday." ”
"Uh...... Suddenly I don't want to talk to you anymore. ”
"It's all adults, you're too cautious. ”
The chess player shook his head: "It's not that I'm cautious, but the significance of my visit this time is very important." ”
If you just meet with Woz and have a talk, although the chess players will be entangled, they will not be cautious to this point. Just go straight to the door!
Before the chess player made up his mind to come here to meet Woz, he used many methods of divination to make decisions for himself, such as flipping coins, magic sticks, playing cards, tearing flower petals, and so on. Of course, there are positive and negative as a result, and he became annoyed and began to use professional means - using magic to detect the future and divinate fate.
However, since the entire "Balances" organization does not have a real soothsayer, soothsayer or the like, it is impossible to figure out what exactly is calculated through those ordinary little magic chess players. But fortunately, the "balance" is extremely rich in resources, and it doesn't matter if you don't have to, and there are a lot of ready-made magic that can be used.
These one-time spells, sealed in crystals, staffs, or scrolls, are the most precious of materials, and only chess players use them so carelessly. In the end, he even used two prophecy super-magics-
Book of prophecy, book of heaven!
Similarly, since he is not a magician of the prophecy system, even if he gets the prophecy chess player, he will not be able to interpret it perfectly. But the only thing that is certain is that this visit to Magnolia is necessary, and he will have an unexpected opportunity!
The chess player looked at Daphne again, and her presence was also crucial in the prophecy. That's why the chess player will be as patient as possible with this unobtrusive woman......
Of course, even if he doesn't want to be patient, he has no other way.
The prophecy emphasizes the city of Magnolia rather than the Watts or the Fairy Tail, so it took the players nearly two days to walk through the city, and no "opportunity" fell on them.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that the sky suddenly darkened, and thick dark clouds covered the entire sky, and it seemed like the rhythm of a torrential rain. The chess player gave up his exploration of the city for the time being, took the opportunity to take a break, and asked Daphne to find Wox and prepare to meet.
The chess player himself went to the café where he was scheduled to meet, and when he was alone, he couldn't help but ponder: Why didn't he find anything special? Is the prophecy wrong, impossible, it's two super magic! Since Daphne is mentioned in it, let's take her with me tomorrow to find her, so that she doesn't have to run around again!
It was terribly overcast, except for a few drops of rain at the beginning, which barely wet the road, and then there was no movement.
But the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and deeper, and they feel like they are about to be pressed down. The air was also very wet, and it seemed that if you could grab the water just by reaching out and grabbing it, it was very uncomfortable. The city streets soon became deserted, and no one liked to go out in such weather.
The vapor-filled air soaked Harpy's fur and made it look embarrassing, which could have been caused by Xia Lulu, who was walking in front
Harpy's pair of cat ears fell down, and he followed Xia Lulu with a fish in his hand.
It can be seen that his confession was again ignored!
"Enough, don't follow me anymore!" the unbearable white cat turned back and scolded. Recently, Xia Lulu's temper has become more and more irritable, and even Wendy is surprised.
But only Harpy, perhaps obsessive, or simply lacking in emotional intelligence, did not notice these at all. Pursued her as always.
"Don't do that. It seems that he is also accustomed to Xia Lulu's temper, and Harpy is very optimistic to greet him, maybe in his opinion, it is a huge breakthrough for people to turn back, right?
Xia Lulu also looked defeated, and then quickly changed to a proud queen posture: "What an ignorant guy! You don't know anything at all!"
"But Xia Lulu, if you don't say it, how will I know?"
"You ......," Xia Lulu finally sighed faintly, "Forget it, ignorance is also a kind of happiness." You...... That's it. ”
After saying that, he spread his wings and flew away without looking back, and went to Wendy.
And Wendy is also walking the streets, looking for Xia Lulu - Xia Lulu seems to have been avoiding her lately.
The white cat is not found, but Wendy is happy to find that Mister Heights has returned.
He didn't cover his face with a mask anymore, which made Wendy suddenly notice that his face was ugly.
Before the little girl could say hello, Mister Hill was the first to speak: "Wendy, get out of the city quickly!
It's raining again.
In such an unusually oppressive weather, only the fairy tail still maintained a cheerful atmosphere as always. Their enthusiasm and energy completely dispel the gloom brought by the environment.
"Streaming~" Zhu Bi'an sat on the window, looking at the gloomy sky outside in a daze. She felt like she was going to be back to her previous "Rain Girl" because her Lord Gray had rejected her for the 399th time!
This report card, which was even more dismal than Harpy, made Jubian gloomy.
But apart from this corner, the rest of the guild is happy and peaceful. Even Gray himself unconsciously "abandoned" Jubian and stayed with the rest of Elusa's team, ready to pick up new assignments.
Rebby, the petite literary girl, was tangled around them, her hands folded above her head.
"Please, please grant my request!" Rei said, "It won't take up too much time, just take a look!"
Rabi was begging Elusa to borrow her amulet to take a look. Libby has always considered herself a student of Woz, and she is indeed a true legend of Woz - she is the only magician other than Wads's recognition as an automatic secretary. That's why Lebby also likes to study Woz's various word magics the most.
"I remember Woz made an amulet for you, right?" Elusa asked rhetorically.
"I've already researched mine. "And Lucy's amulet, which I've seen too, but unfortunately it's not basically made of word magic." ”
Lucy laughs helplessly next to her, Lebby is her best friend, so she is the first to be "poisoned".
"Gray's has nothing to do with word magic. So it's only Elusa, yours is the crystallization of the teacher's orthodox word magic!, so please lend me a look!" The girl pleaded again.
Elusa is also a very kind person by nature, so after asking casually, she simply took off the amulet on her body and handed it over.
"Thank you so much! Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
As she spoke, Lebi put on her glasses and looked intently at the amulet.
"Mila Jeanne also has one there, and it seems to be of better quality. Elusa reminded.
"I know. Lebi didn't raise her head, and she had obviously seen it a long time ago.
"Anyway, Miss Mila Jeanne doesn't seem to be here today. Lucy looked at the bar, which was empty.
Elusa said, "Today is ...... That day. ”
"Well, Alufman isn't here either, so we should go to the cemetery to pay our respects. Gray nodded.
Natsu is also unusually listless.
It's Lisanna's sacrifice day, Lucy suddenly realized, and she couldn't help but be a little curious in her heart, what kind of person this girl was when she was alive, and everyone could feel sorry for her.
"Watts's predecessor is not here either, did he also go to worship?"
Rebi shook her head: "No, it seems that someone is looking for it, so the teacher just went out." And the teacher never went to the cemetery to worship, he did not recognize Lisana's death, and he did not even attend the original funeral. ”
"Hey, that's right. Lucy replied simply, not daring to comment.
Lei Bi was dual-minded, and while speaking, she was analyzing and interpreting the rune content of the talisman, nodding thoughtfully from time to time. It looks very powerful, so that everyone around can feel that the petite girl exudes an unknown and powerful momentum!
"Libby is amazing!" Lucy complimented heartily, "Are you already able to use the magic of Woz's predecessors?"
"Simple ones are fine, but more complex ones are not. It needs to be assisted by the teacher's magic book. ”
Natsu also became interested: "That's it, that's also very powerful, my words, even if they are given to me, I can't understand them." ”
Hearing Natsu's admiration, Lebby was a little embarrassed: "It's not a big deal, the numbered magic in the teacher's magic book is prepared in advance, as long as it is stimulated at the end, it's very simple." Even as long as you have a good relationship with the automatic scrivener, anyone can use the magic in the book with her assistance!"
"It's not an extremely difficult task," Elusa said, "The automatic secretary is not recognized by everyone! At the moment, only her creator, Woz, and you are the only one! I heard that Leibi has successfully imitated and copied an automatic secretary?"
Lebby scratched her head, but her expression was a little proud: "It's nothing, it's just an imitation of a library elf!" Since she doesn't have an infinite capacity book like a magic book, her library spirit can only stay in her own study for now, becoming a "groundbinder". So not many people know about her existence yet.
"I'll go back and look through the teacher's magic book to see if there's a solution. "Libby decides to come down. By agreeing to open up all of her collection to Woz, Libby also received the right to borrow Woz's magic books. Sometimes, dissatisfied girls will unrealistically fantasize that they can have such a book.
“…… That's really the gospel of the word magician!" said Libby, sighing inwardly.
However, at this time, no one noticed that the dark clouds over Magnolia had quietly turned into a huge whirlpool. It is being pressed with an aura that is enough to make people despair.
Directly opposite the center of the whirlpool, it is vaguely the tail of a fairy!
