Chapter 272: Lucy from the Future
Xiu followed King Fiore for nearly an hour, but he never found out who the king had summoned, which made Xiu feel very strange.
Obviously, the Secretary of State for Defense arrested Lucy and them last night, but looking at the king's appearance, it seems that he has no idea.
"Did something go wrong with that link?" or did I think in the wrong direction from the beginning?" said Xiu in his heart.
At this time, Xiu had been following the king back to his own bedroom, and no one else was allowed to enter, and the king who returned to the bedroom actually took out the pumpkin hood that Xiu found not long ago from under his bed, and took out a set of clothes from the secret place of his wardrobe and put it on his bed.
"Tomorrow's Great Demon Fight is my appearance as a guest and referee, I hope nothing happens tomorrow as well......" The king said to himself, looking at the hood and clothes on the bed.
Xiu immediately paid attention to this sentence after hearing this, there was definitely something else in this sentence.
"Okay, in fact, you don't have to hide your figure all the time, let's talk face-to-face if there is anything," just after Xiu noticed the king's expression, the king actually looked directly in Xiu's direction and said such a sentence.
Xiu's face changed suddenly, he thought for a moment, and then slowly showed his figure.
"It turned out to be you...... The sorcerer of Fairy Tail ...... "The king recognized it immediately when he saw Xiu.
"So you're the pumpkin referee......" Xiu said as he looked at the pumpkin hood and clothes on the king's bed, these things had already made Xiu know the purpose of the king's takeout.
"I'm curious why you didn't call me a soldier, and how did you find me?" asked Xiu.
"I don't feel a hint of murder, and as for how you found out, don't you look into the ground behind you?" said the king.
Xiu turned his head to look at the ground behind him, and was stunned for a moment, "I see, I was careless......"
At this time, there is a shadow on the ground behind Xiu, which is produced after being irradiated by the sun, although Xiu is a thinking body at this time, but it is a thinking body materialized by objects, except for not having to eat and sleep, the rest of the human flesh should have the nature of existence, and the formlessness of cultivation is only the invisible thinking body, in fact, Xiu's body will still appear after being irradiated by the sun's rays, plus Xiu has been with the king for an hour, and he has forgotten about it for a long time, so Xiu is naturally easy to be discovered by the king.
"You did this because your companion was captured, in order to get me in exchange for your companion?" the king asked, looking at Xiu.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I think you may have misunderstood something, first of all I want to apologize for the fact that I have been following you for more than an hour, I can follow you silently for more than an hour, and naturally I can easily rescue Lucy myself, but I have to do it for some other reason," Xiu said.
"Maybe what you say is true, and I can indeed feel no bad breath from you, but how friendly is it to meet as a friendly person and not take the initiative to say your name?" said the king.
"This, I was rude, in the lower Xiu Arokhnya" Xiu to the king to make an international salute of friendly meeting between the two countries.
"You are not a citizen of Fiore?" asked the king.
"Yes or no, I grew up in Fiorelli, and even magic was studied at the Academy of Magic in Kulokas, but now I work in Sterodela in the Kingdom of Etoya......," Xiu said.
"So that's the case, then, I'm Doma. E. Fiore, King of Fiore, it is a pleasure to meet you...... "said the king.
"Now we can get down to business," said the king, looking at Xiu.
"Actually, my purpose is very simple, the main thing is about the eclipse plan, I want to know if this eclipse plan is a decision made by the king himself or something else?" Xiu looked at the king and said slowly.
The king's expression sank for a moment after hearing Xiu say this, and then he sighed slowly, "It seems that you have noticed it......"
"Well, now I'll tell you all the things, and let me make a new judgment when I'm done with the arrest of your companion," said the king.

Inside the Honey Bone Hotel in Kurokas
"What, tomorrow you are going to go to the Flower Palace to meet with the high-ranking figures of this country as a high-ranking member of the Stermotara Consortium?"
"Yes, after sneaking into the Flower Palace, I found that the king didn't seem to know about Lucy's arrest, so I decided that instead of sneaking into the useless work of sneaking in, it would be better to take the initiative to find out about this matter in another capacity, so that it is very likely to directly contact the king, and then rescue Lucy openly for some reason, it is better than sneaking," Xiu said slowly.
In fact, Xiu already knows a lot of things, but because the agreement with the king of the Fiore Kingdom can't expose his identity as a pumpkin referee, he can only hide it from everyone for the time being, and the purpose of this plan is mainly to contact a person Jade. E. Fiore, the daughter of King Doma, the princess of this kingdom, that is, the girl with some long emerald hair that she saw after sneaking into the Flower Palace, tomorrow the king will not be in the Flower Palace, and the king's son will also go out, so tomorrow the royal family in the Flower Palace will be the Jade Princess alone, and the person who will go to see tomorrow must be her.
Moreover, this jade princess is the real power person who controls the eclipse plan, and if she doesn't talk to this princess face-to-face, I'm afraid you won't get the answer that Xiu wants to know.
"Why tomorrow and not today?" asked Gray.
"Because it has to be tomorrow, I'll explain it to you then, and tomorrow you can play with peace of mind...... You should rest assured that I'm doing things......" Xiu looked at Gray.
"That's true, it's just a pity that Lucy doesn't see the scene when we get the first moment......" Gray shook his head.
"You really have confidence in yourself, I remember that tomorrow is a survival battle with five people, you really don't discuss how to deal with it?" Xiu said.
"What's this, let them go together, they come and kill as many as they want, haha......" Natsu laughed.
"Hey...... You really think of yourself, don't be the first to be solved by the time ......," Gray said speechlessly.
"Let me think about it, one night, Uncle Jora, the eldest lady of the saber-toothed tiger, the woman who wields a knife like Elusa, and ......" Natsu didn't care about Gray's forehead and immersed himself in his own world, "Let me solve all of these people together, haha......" Natsu laughed maniacally again, as if he had forgotten some people's names.
"Natsu, come on......" Harpy screamed heartlessly with Natsu.
"Hey, old man, can you replace this guy with a reliable one......" Gray looked at Makanov with a little frustrated Natsu YY.
"Okay, then who will be replaced...... "Makanov said very calmly.
"Uh......" Gray stopped talking this time, and indeed who else but Natsu can't go?
"Actually, Jubia wants to go to ...... too" After Gray didn't speak, no one noticed that Jubia happily watched Gray twist his ass...... The crowd completely ignored this scene.
"Hasn't Elusa come back yet......" Xiu then noticed that Elusa was not there.
"Didn't you call her to find Gerald, and she hasn't come back yet......" Xia Lulu said.
"Didn't you find it......" Xiu frowned slightly after hearing this, and said slowly.

Outside of Culokas
"What, how could there be such a thing......" Elusa's face changed dramatically at this time, and she looked at Gerald.
"I'm curious that you've found this place, and you've come to me for ......," Gerald said.
"It took me a lot of effort to find here, in order to avoid people's eyes, you and Urutiya are the safest in the suburbs, and whether what you said is true or false......" Elusa looked at Gerald with a pale face.
"I don't know, but the person who said it should be trustworthy...... Gerald's said.
"Where is she now?" Elusa asked.
"She's already hidden, and she'll be on the move again tomorrow night...... Gerald said.
"It's shocking, but I have a question about whether this person is genuine, and Ashu told me that she doesn't know Ashu, which is suspicious," Elusa said.
"What, you mean Ashu and she met?" Gerald was taken aback.
"Well, just last night......" Elusa nodded.
"If she really doesn't know Ah Xiu, then who is her, and why does she know me?, and what is the purpose of telling me these things?" Gerald's brow furrowed.
"Something like this has happened, it seems that things are not as simple as we believed," said Urutiya on the side.
"Do you know where she is? It's better to make sure she's who she is...... " Elusa said.
"We can find her through the magic of the eclipse, but I just managed to hide her last night, and I don't know where she is now......" Gerald said.
"That's a problem...... Gerald, look at the good things you do......" Melty sighed.
"Who would have known that such a thing would happen again, she wouldn't know Ah Xiu......" Gerald also said depressedly.
"Speaking of Axiu, Axiu, who is he, I haven't seen it......" Melty said.
"He's also a wizard of Fairy Tail, but he didn't participate in the events on Sirius Island, and his magic is very special and rare, and he's a fire-shaped magician...... Urutia said.
"The relationship between Ah Xiu and Lucy is a bit complicated, because some things connect the relationship between the two, so if Lucy doesn't know Ah Xiu, no one will believe it......" Elusa explained.
"Fire Shape Magus, I'm kind of eager to meet this person, since I didn't participate in the events of Sirius Island, so let's say it's been seven years like us......" Melty said.
"Because you found out about this, Ashu asked you to come to me?" Gerald didn't answer Melti's words, looking at Elusa.
"Well, I just discovered it by accident, so I was puzzled and asked me to ask if you found anything, but I didn't expect our intelligence to be in pairs to find out about these things," Elusa said.
"So, Ashur, he's also investigating the eclipse, so we have to exchange information about it," Gerald said.
"Well, that's what I thought," Elusa nodded.
"What is Ashu going to do next?" asked Gerald.
"It's not decided yet, but I think it's time to decide what to do with the mysteries of the plans," Elusa said.
"In that case, whatever the plan is best set for tomorrow, if the future of this world is really ...... The man who claims to be from the future says the same thing, tomorrow is the beginning of stopping all of this, and before that we must be prepared for all contingencies," Gerrard said.
"Well, I'm going back to talk to Xiu about this, I think Xiu should be waiting for the information I have brought with me," Elusa said.
"By the way, Elusa, tomorrow is the crucial day for you to compete for the first place in the Great Demon Fight, I don't want these things to affect your state......" Gerald said as he looked at Elusa.
"Don't worry, I'm relieved that these things will be handled by you and Ah Xiu, and I won't tell anyone else in the guild except Ah Xiu until Fairy Tail doesn't get the first place, especially Natsu, if he knows that it's hard to calm down, I'm afraid I'm going to be impulsive again," Elusa said slowly.
"That's what I'm worried about," GΓ©rald said.
"By the way, you'd better be careful, the council is still in Kulokas, and ......," Elusa paused and said again, "Then I'll go first......" said before turning and walking in the direction of Kulokas.
As Elusa walked away, Urrutia's gaze shifted from Elusa's figure to Gerald, "Elusa seems to want to remind you of something......"
"Hmm," Gerald just nodded in response.
"Don't you want to ask...... Urutia asked again.
Gerald looked at the back of Elusa, who had already walked a long way, then withdrew his gaze and sighed slowly, "Let's go, see if we can find the ...... from the future." Lucy ......" said as she turned and walked in the opposite direction to Elusa.
"From the future...... Elusa, who was slowly walking towards Kulokas, slowly raised her head and sighed softly, then her steps sped up a little, and she walked towards Kulokas below.

When Elusa returned to the Honey Bone Hotel, it was nearly noon.
Walking into the hotel, I met Wendy and Xia Lulu, who seemed to be about to go out.
"Sister Elusa, you're back...... Wendy greeted first.
"Hmm...... What about Ashu......" Elusa asked.
"He's in the room, waiting for you to come back," Xia Lulu said.
"That's right," said Elusa, and went upstairs.
"Wait, Sister Elusa, the President has ordered lunch at the Worry Tavern to the west of the inn, and they say they want to treat you to the five people who will participate in the final game tomorrow, and the five of you will be missing," Wendy said.
"Well, I see, you go first, I'll be here soon......," Elusa nodded, and continued to walk upstairs, Wendy and Charlulu also walked out of the Honey Bone Hotel.
"Sister Elusa's expression is that you have received information," Wendy said a little puzzled after walking out of the Honey Bone Hotel.
"I can't see anything from my expression and eyes, and I asked us to go first, because you didn't want us to know anything...... Xia Lulu said.
"Is that so?......" Wendy wondered.
"It's easy to see, forget it, since you don't want us to know for the time being, forget it, I guess everything will be revealed soon," Xia Lulu said.
"Hmm," Wendy nodded, walking towards the Tavern of Worry with Xia Lulu.
