Chapter 267: Dragon King Sacrifice
"What's going on? How can there be so many dragon bones here?" Gray wondered.
Several people began to walk towards the dragon tomb, looking around, and found that there were more bones than expected.
"Is that what happened?" said Lucy.
"Will Ignir's be here......" Harpy asked suddenly.
"...... Harpy," Xia Lulu said dissatisfiedly when she heard Harpy say this.
"I'm sorry......" Harpy was also found to be rude when Xia Lulu said this.
However, Natsu didn't care about this, but shook his head and said, "No, not here......"
"The dragons here look like they were many years ago, and our dragons have only been gone for a dozen years, so it's absolutely impossible to be here," Gergil began.
The crowd looked at the bones again, and the bones were indeed decomposed, and they were already in tatters.
"Galaxy ......," Wendy's expression changed slightly after suddenly thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Wendy?" asked Lucy when she heard Wendy's whisper.
"I know, it's the Milky Way, one of the dragon-destroying magic I learned from Granny Polyusica, and I continue to listen to the sound of the dragon soul wandering in the Sky River, I always thought it was attack magic, maybe that's how it was used."
"With the galaxy, you can hear the voice of the dragon that turns into a soul," Wendy's words stopped.
"Isn't that ......," Natsu was surprised to hear Wendy say.
"If we could, we would know what was going on here, and maybe the truth about our dragon's disappearance would be clear," Wendy said.

Somewhere in Kulokas is a very sparsely populated street
A woman with an unclear face next to a black and white cloak sat on the ground, bit the cap of her pen with her mouth, and actually wrote something on a note with her left hand.
This mysterious woman was the one Gerald had seen not long ago, and the appearance under the cloak was very curious.
"Hey, what are you doing there? it's forbidden to enter here," the mysterious woman had only been writing for about a minute before someone saw her and shouted at her.
After discovering that she had been discovered, the mysterious woman hurriedly stood up and quickly ran away.
"Hey, what's running...... Such a sneaky man" The man was a little puzzled by this sneaky-looking man, he was a soldier of the kingdom who had just returned home from his shift, and then he found this stranger in the forbidden place attached to the Flower Palace.
The mysterious woman seemed to have forgotten to take her notebook with her in a hurry, and the Kingdom soldiers walked over and picked it up.
"What is this......?
"July 7th...... Eclipse Plan ...... Dragon King Sacrifice ...... What a mess,......" the soldier cursed in a low voice after reading the ugly words, threw away the notebook in his hand, and walked home, the notebook tumbling in the air a few times and falling into a nondescript corner.
Fairy Tail's celebration in the tavern
When Xiu arrived, he was surprised to find that it was not as noisy as he had imagined, and when he looked around, he realized that Natsu and Gray were not there.
"You're back, did you find anything?" asked Mirajan as soon as she saw Xiu walk in.
"No, I'm afraid the man has already left Kulokas, and Natsu and Gray have gone, and the two of them are not much quieter in the tavern," Xiu said.
"Guggill seems to have taken them to see something interesting, and Lucy's curiosity has followed," said Mirajan, "but it seems to be only related to the Dragon Slayer, and Lucy and Gray are cheeky to follow, hehe" Mirajan said and laughed.
"That's it......" Xiu nodded and said that he didn't care about these things in his heart, and after thinking about the purpose of his return and the fact that he was still thinking about the form, he looked at Mirazhen again.
"Mira, I've also checked here, and it's almost nothing special, so I'm leaving too, and I'm going to look around the other places to see if there are any suspicious traces," Xiu said.
Mi Lazhen was slightly stunned when she heard Xiu say this, and her smile slowly sank, "Well, I know, this is also a matter of no way, but I still hope that you can see the scene of Fairy Tail getting the first place on the last day of the Great Demon Fight" Mi Lazhen looked at Xiu and said slowly.
"Well, I'm just checking around the town, I'll be back when the time comes" Xiu nodded in response, "It's been more than a day of delay here, I'll go first......" Xiu said, then turned around and walked towards the door, quickly disappearing in front of Mirazhen's eyes.
"Sacrificial magic...... Mirajane sighed softly as she looked at the somewhat shaky tavern door.
――――――――――――――
Underneath the Domus Arena
Wendy was holding a small dragon bone she had picked up from all over the place and drawing a somewhat complicated magic circle on the ground, and it had taken her several minutes to draw this magic circle.
The rest of the people watched quietly as Wendy's movements did not disturb her, and everyone waited for Dakai again for about half a minute, and Wendy finally stopped.
"Okay, it's really as I thought, I made a mistake in writing here at first" Wendy threw away the tiny dragon bone in his hand and looked at the complex magic array he drew on the ground, because his magic power was not enough to use magic power to depict the magic array, he had to use the magic array on the ground to draw a magic array and then use his magic power to supplement the magic array pattern on the ground to complete the galaxy.
"What's next?" asked Natsu.
"I said I wanted to listen to people," Lili said.
"Now please stay away, I'm going to cast a spell......" Wendy motioned for Lucy and the others to leave.
As soon as Wendy said this, Lucy and the others also evacuated, although they didn't know how Wendy would listen to the soul of the lost dragon, but it was better to listen to Wendy at this time.
After Lucy and the others stayed away, Wendy also knelt in the center of the magic circle she had drawn, and raised her hands up, "O dragon soul wandering again, please let me listen to your voice...... Galaxy ......" With Wendy's shout, the magic array under Wendy's body suddenly emitted a faint green light, and the light gathered from the ground to ten meters above the ground, forming a light wave that spread in all directions like a wave, and these lights looked extremely beautiful to Lucy and the others.
"It's pretty......" Lucy couldn't help but say.
"......Stars," Harpy continued, and the center of the light waves gathered in the sky was indeed like a star, so it did look like a galaxy.
As Wendy activated the galaxy, a little bit of faint green light began to emerge from the keels around it, and it seemed that an abnormal roar could be heard, which couldn't help but make people's scalps tingle.
The scene around "Bone ......" scared Lucy a little.
"That's fine, Wendy......" Gray said with a tingle in his heart.
"I'm looking for the broken dragon soul that is quiet here, the consciousness here is very old and ......weak," Wendy said slowly, Wendy had just finished speaking, and suddenly felt something and suddenly looked startled, "Found ......"
"What?" everyone was also shocked when they heard Wendy's words, and when they looked at Wendy, they found that Wendy had put her hands together on her chin and her eyes closed.
"It looks like Wendy is concentrating, don't disturb her," Xia Lulu said.
As Wendy's attention grew, the star-like green glow in the air began to become abnormal, not emitting light waves in all directions, but as if something was gathering inside, as if something was about to come out.
Watching this scene, Lucy's hearts were even more furious, and the thought that it might be a ghost or something, could this not make them afraid!
After only a few seconds or so, a huge dragon claw suddenly stretched out from the star, and then a huge phantom appeared in the field of vision of Lucy and the others, and a soul-shaking dragon chant was roared out by the phantom.
Wendy, who was screaming out like this, closed her eyes and concentrated her mental energy, was all stunned.
"Hahaha...... Whenever you see a human being scared silly, it's funny......" The massive phantom then laughed.
After hearing this, the fear in Lucy's heart suddenly decreased by several points, and gradually began to pay attention to this huge phantom, this huge phantom is the dragon, it seems to be the form of the phantom because it is the soul, this dragon is the color of emerald, listening to this voice seems to be many years old, and this is the second dragon that Lucy Gray and Harpy saw, and they should also be the third for Natsu.
"The old man's name is Kirkenis, and he was once called the Emerald Dragon," the dragon began to introduce himself after startling Lucy.
"It can actually awaken the sleeping soul of the old man, it is the magic of the dragon," Kilknis said, "So where is the spellcaster?" said Kirknis and turned his head to look around, and soon found Wendy concentrating his mental power under him.
"It's so cute" Kilknis looked at Wendy and said such a sentence, and his tone was extremely frivolous, and then lowered his head and approached Wendy, "Is it this little dragon slayer wizard who woke up the old man?"
"Hey, stay away from Wendy...... Natsu shouted, it didn't feel like a good thing to hear the dragon named Kilknis.
"No, I'm going to eat this little one," Kirknis refused.
"How dare you ......," Natsu immediately dodged to Wendy's side, making eye contact with the dragon's eyes the size of his head.
"Hahaha, just kidding, the old man can't do anything with a ghost now......" Kilknis laughed again after staring at Natsu for a moment.
"Look, there's nothing you can do if you want to," Kirknis laughed as his dragon claws poked at Natsu's body, and then passed through Natsu's body as easily as air.
"What kind of person is this," Lucy couldn't help but say, looking at the scene, this dragon didn't want to be a dragon at all.
"It's not a man, it's a dragon," Harpy retorted when he heard Lucy's sick words.
"The old man's name is Kilkenis, and he used to be called the Emerald Dragon," Kilknis introduced himself again after hearing Harpy's words.
"I've heard it just now......," Gray couldn't help but complain, "Really, no matter what time you encounter abnormal people, even dragons are ......" said holding his forehead with a helpless look.
"What the hell is going on here, there are so many dragon bones?" Xia Lulu asked.
"That's why we've woken you up," Gergil continued.
"The old man has nothing to say to humans, get out of ......," Kirkenis said with a cold look in his tone.
"We're cats...... Kilkenis retorted.
As soon as Harpy finished speaking, Kirknis's tone changed again, "Well, in fact, this was four hundred years ago......"
Looking at Kilkenis, a black line appeared on Gray's forehead, "What the hell are you casual about this principle?"
"Four hundred years ago......" However, Lucy suddenly focused on it when she heard it, four hundred years ago was Xiu's era, and it was also something that Xiu didn't say much to her and Mirajan, and she and Mirajan didn't ask because Xiu had died in that era, because no matter how you thought about it, it was some bad memories for Xiu.
"Once the dragon was the king of this world, flying freely in the sky, running on the earth, swimming in the ocean, flourishing, everything in the world at that time belonged to our dragon race, and human beings were just our food, but among them, there was a stupid dragon who objected to the rule of the dragon family, saying that he wanted to create a world where dragons and humans coexist, and this voice was both in favor and against in the dragon family, so the dragon family was divided into two factions and a war broke out, and the old man participated in the war as an opposition......"
"Now you should know, the old man doesn't like humans, but he likes it as food," Kirkenis said, looking at the small figure below.
Natsu, however, covered her mouth and snickered, "So you're talking to food right now......"
"Hey, you're making people ...... that way" Kilknis was furious when Natsu said this, but he looked helpless, after all, he was dead.
"And what happened after the war?" Xia Lulu asked again.
"The war between the two factions has been in a stalemate, and the war between dragons and dragons will inevitably tear apart countless lands, and it wasn't long before the coexistence faction hatched an extremely stupid strategy to teach humans the magic that could destroy dragons and let humans go to war......" said to himself, Kilknis's eyes were a little lost and a little sharp, as if he was recalling the events of four hundred years ago.
Listening to what Kirkenis said, a cold sweat broke out on Lucy's forehead, and they knew that this was almost the origin of the dragon-slaying magic.
"The power of the Dragon Slayer is huge, and they have played a huge role in the war, and just when the Coexistence Faction is about to win, something they never expected happened......" Kirknis's tone sank.
"The dragon-slaying magicians who got too much power killed the dragons who wanted to coexist with humans, and there was a man in that group of people, even the mention of the man's name made the dragons fearful, and the man killed a large number of dragons with his own hands, and finally the man's skin grew scales, his teeth turned into fangs, and his body gradually turned into dragons, and the dragon-slaying magic will become like this in the end......" Kirkenis said as he looked at Natsu and Guggill below, and the magic that it could send Natsu and Guggill felt that the two of them were dragon slayers.
After hearing Kirkenis's words, Natsu and Guggill had more cold sweat on their foreheads, and there was a faint hint of meaning in their eyes.
Lucy and Gray were even more shocked, how could the two of them not be surprised by the fact that they had turned from humans to dragons.
"The dragons that sleep here are all in the hands of the man who died, and that man is a human being, but he became the king of dragons, and the war that gave birth to the king of dragons is called the dragon king sacrifice."
"The king's name is Akunorolia, and he is a dragon, but he has dark wings that dragons don't have......" As Kirkenis's words fell, everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they didn't dare to be confident.

Somewhere in Kulokas
As he walked in the direction of leaving Kurokas, he suddenly noticed a man in a black and white cloak walking out of a street corner not far away, and Xiu also saw the mysterious man's foot and realized that it was a woman.
Xiu looked at the mysterious woman in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly, "This magic power ......"
As if noticing Xiu staring, the mysterious woman turned her head to look at Xiu, but this twisted head Xiu clearly saw the woman's face through the moonlight.
The moment Xiu saw the person's face, Xiu was taken aback, and the mysterious woman saw that Xiu seemed to realize that it was a stranger, and quickly turned around and walked towards another place, without caring about Xiu's expression when she looked at her.
"Uh......" Seeing that the woman quickly turned around and left, Xiu was stunned again, "This is ......"
"I saw the wrong ?......" Xiu said with some confusion, and after thinking about it, he realized that something was wrong, and began to walk in the direction where the woman left.
