The town of Aykar, Adras

After more than an hour of walking, Lucy of Adras led everyone to this town, which was the second town that Qin Xiu and his party had arrived in Adras.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's rest here for the night," Lucy from Adras pointed to the inn to the side.

"It's okay, just listen to Lucy" Qin Xiu nodded and agreed with Lucy of Adras.

"I don't think you have any money on you, so I'll pay for the accommodation," said Lucy of Adras, looking at Natsu and Wendy.

Natsu and Wendy were a little embarrassed to hear Lucy of Adras.

"Money, what is Adellas's money used for?" Qin Xiu immediately asked when he heard this.

"Now, this is Adras's money" Lucy of Adras took out a note, it seems that this is the money that Adras used to buy and sell.

"It's a completely different coin from Aslant, although I brought money, I can't use it" Qin Xiu took out a few Aslant banknotes from his pocket.

"Forget it, I'll pay for it" Lucy of Adras smiled and walked directly into the hotel, and Qin Xiu and the others followed Lucy of Adras into the hotel.

In the hotel, Qin Xiu and his party all gathered together to discuss what to do next.

A map was placed on the table, it was a map of the whole of Adras, and from the map it seemed to be no different from Adras, because it was almost the same continental terrain.

"This is a map I borrowed from the innkeeper that marks the entire continent of Edras," Wendy said.

"Well, we arrived at Adras in this forest, and met Ashu and Lucy in this place, and now we are here, but our destination is here" Xia Lulu pointed next to each other on the map, and finally pointed to a distant location on the map, where the royal capital was marked, and it was obvious that they were still far away from the royal capital at this time.

"It's still so far away," Natsu said helplessly.

"Well, it looks like it's going to take at least three days," Lucy said, looking at the map.

"Hasn't that Lucy from Adras come out yet?" Qin Xiu looked at the bathroom and said.

"The terrible Sister Lucy went to the shower as soon as she came in, and she was washed up until now," said Wendy.

"Then we can only wait for her to come out and ask her if there is a way to speed up our trip," Qin Xiu sighed.

"I don't leave the bathroom for a long time, but I'm in the same habit as I am," Lucy said.

"What are you doing in the bathroom for so long?" asked Natsu suddenly.

"Of course it is......," Lucy was about to reply, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately glared at Natsu and yelled, "Why should I tell you......"

"I didn't tell you to tell me, maybe it's something unsightly," Natsu looked unconcerned.

"What's so bad about taking a good dip in the shower?, girls are like this, okay......" Lucy said dissatisfied.

"Wait, we're not talking about bathing now, we're not talking about going to the royal capital, and we're putting other things aside for the time being," Xia Lulu said dissatisfiedly.

"Let's wait for Lucy from Adras to come out, it should be almost after so long," Qin Xiu said helplessly.

Everyone nodded in unison, sitting quietly in their chairs, waiting for Lucy from Adras to come out.

In the bathroom filled with water vapor, the white walls have been turned into a foggy world.

In the bathtub, Lucy of Adras lay quietly inside, the steaming water covering her body completely, leaving only a white and tender arm, which was raised to the sky, and holding a necklace in her hand, which kept glowing strangely.

Lucy quietly looked at the necklace in front of her and was silent, her eyes looking very gloomy.

In a forest

"Little Lucy, come here, I have something to say to you," cried a teenager to a little girl of seven or eight years old who was playing.

"Brother, I made a sword to fight monsters," little Lucy said happily, holding up the wooden sword in her hand.

"Little Lucy, it's amazing, but now I have something to say to you" The boy smiled and touched little Lucy's blonde hair.

"What do you want to say to little Lucy?" little Lucy looked at the boy suspiciously.

"Little Lucy, it won't be long before the magic array in the clearing will be running, and I'll be leaving at that time," the boy said as he looked at little Lucy.

"Where is my brother going, why don't you make it clear to me, what should I do if my brother leaves me?" little Lucy's happy expression faded, and her expression looked very unwilling.

"I'm sorry, little Lucy, there are some things I can't tell you clearly, but I have to tell you where you are now," the boy said slowly.

"This is an uninhabited floating island over Adrath, and there are no dangerous creatures, and I have a hidden enchantment on this island, no one will find out, and no one will come up, so I usually feel at ease that you can play everywhere," the boy said as he looked at little Lucy.

"Little Lucy, you are an abandoned three-year-old child I found when I went out to look for the magic crystal, and after looking at your helpless eyes, I suddenly remembered my own business, so I absolutely saved you, and now it's been five years, and you have slowly grown up" The young man's eyes were a little smiling, that was a satisfied look.

"It's time for you to face the world you should live in," the boy said solemnly as he patted little Lucy on the shoulder.

"Brother, are you really going to leave me? Not to make fun of Lucy?" little Lucy was a little surprised.

"Well, the self-defense technique I usually teach you is for Lucy to protect yourself after I leave, so that I can leave with peace of mind," the young man said slowly.

"No, I'm not going anywhere, I want to stay with my brother all the time," little Lucy grabbed the boy's clothes and shook them vigorously and pleaded.

"I'm sorry, little Lucy, I have to leave, you must also live a strong life in your world," the young man looked at little Lucy and said solemnly.

"No, I don't want ......," little Lucy began to choke.

"Little Lucy, do you remember the heroic story I told you?" the boy squatted down and looked at little Lucy seriously.

"Remember, heroes are always strong in the face of everything, even if something happens to him that breaks him, he can stick to his own path," little Lucy said with a little choking.

"Little Lucy, tell me again what your name is?" the boy asked again.

"Lucy Ashulet......" little Lucy choked.

"Then tell me the meaning of your name," the boy said again.

"Keep the strongest heart in a world of light and darkness," Lucy Jr. replied.

"Why are you crying?" said the young man, looking at little Lucy choking.

"Lucy didn't cry" Little Lucy wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen, and her voice became louder.

"Very well, little Lucy, I have something else to tell you, there are some very magical magic tools outside this floating island, those are just as magical as the magic array in the clearing, but the magic power in Adrasli is limited, because the magic foundation of this world has been destroyed, and the amount of magic renewal in nature is far less than the demand, resulting in the current appearance of this world, a world with limited magic power" The boy stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Little Lucy must remember to survive in this world with limited magic, don't take magic too seriously, different worlds have different lives, and the most important thing is to live strong no matter how difficult the situation is," the boy half-squatted down again, put his hands on the shoulders of little Lucy, and said seriously.

"Well, I remember, brother......" Little Lucy nodded heavily.

"Well, this is my little hero Lucy," the young man smiled softly when he saw that little Lucy gave him a satisfactory answer.

Then the boy took out a cross necklace made of jade, put it in front of little Lucy, and said, "Do you remember that my brother said not long ago that he wanted to give you a gift?"

"Remember......" Little Lucy nodded.

"Look, this is my brother's gift to you," the boy said, pointing to the jade cross necklace in his hand.

"Thank you, brother" Little Lucy caught the necklace handed to her by the boy with both hands, and then obediently put the necklace from her head and hung it on her chest.

…………

In a desert, a little girl of seven or eight years old slowly woke up.

As soon as she woke up, the little girl saw a continuous stretch of golden sand.

"This is ......" The little girl slowly stood up, and looked around to see that there was all golden sand, a place that the little girl was completely unfamiliar with.

Suddenly, the little girl remembered something and quickly stood up, looked around again, and when the little girl turned around and saw a town, she sat weakly on the sand, and then looked down at the jade cross necklace on her chest, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Brother......

…………

――――――――――――

The bathroom was still filled with steam, and Lucy of Adras was still quietly looking at the jade cross necklace in her hand that emitted a strange light.

"Brother, where are you now? In order to find your traces, I joined the Wizard Guild Fairy Tail, hoping to find you with the power of the Magician, but nothing was found, and I also survived according to your wishes, no matter how difficult the circumstances"

"I've done everything, but now ......," Lucy of Adras muttered to herself, and stopped as she spoke, and Lucy of Adras had a slight tear in her eyes, but the tears never flowed, because she had promised that person many years ago that she couldn't cry, so after so many years of years, she had never cried once, no matter what happened, no matter what happened this time.

Lucy of Adras suddenly buried her head in the bathtub and held her breath, as if this was the way to make herself feel better, and after more than thirty seconds, Lucy of Adras suddenly rushed out of the water, this time the whole body, and her delicate figure loomed in the foggy bathroom.

Lucy of Adras stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped a white towel around her body and wiped off the water, then put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

"What are you discussing?" As soon as Lucy from Adras came out to see, she immediately found that Qin Xiu and his party were gathering together to discuss something.

"Lucy, you came out just in time, we've been waiting for you" Qin Xiu became happy when he saw Lucy of Adras come out.

"Wait for me, what are you waiting for me for?" Lucy of Adras looked at Qin Xiu suspiciously.

"That's right, we checked the map and found that the royal capital is still far away, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it in a short time, so I want to ask if there is a way for you to let us reach the royal capital early" Qin Xiu asked.

"Is that it?" asked Lucy of Adreas again.

"Well, that's it" Qin Xiu nodded.

"Please, Terrible Sister Lucy," Wendy looked at Lucy of Adras with hopeful eyes.

"Didn't I say, don't add scary every time you call me, and don't stare at me like that," Lucy of Adras said with an angry look at Wendy.

"I'm sorry, I forgot......" Wendy suddenly lowered her head to show that she knew she was wrong.

"Don't worry, since I said I'd help you, I'll help you," said Lucy of Adras, patting her chest.

"Thank you so much, Eldras me," Lucy said happily.

"No, I'm just doing what I can," Lucy of Adras smiled helplessly.

"By the way, I haven't asked Lucy for your name yet, I've always called Lucy Lucy, I feel a little confused," Qin Xiu looked at Lucy of Adras and said.

"Ah, it's exactly the same, if it weren't for the different clothes, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell who is who" Natsu nodded in agreement, and then suddenly thought of something and laughed.

"Natsu, what are you laughing at?" Lucy of Adras looked at Natsu quizzically.

"I'm laughing if you two wear the same clothes so you can play mirror parody games, hahaha" Natsu laughed.

"I'm not going to play this boring game," the two Lucys said speechlessly.

"Look, even the tone is the same, ahaha" Natsu laughed even more excitedly.

"Natsu is a joke, but it's true that it's hard to tell the difference," Lucy of Adras thought for a moment and looked at her other self, "I heard you have a star spirit who cuts your hair, right?

"Oh," Lucy nodded, and immediately took out the key to Cancer, summoning Caesar from Cancer.

"Is there any service, shrimp ......," Caesar asked as soon as he came out.

"It's strange that it's a crab and it's actually shrimp," Lucy of Adras complained.

"It's the other me, even the complaints," Lucy laughed.

"Please, please cut it for me as I say," Lucy of Adras said, looking at Caesar.

"Rest assured, I'll make sure you're satisfied," Caesar said confidently playing with the scissors in his hand.

"Alright, please cut off all the hair beyond here," Lucy of Adreas tied her hair down and held a strand of her hair.

Just when everyone was surprised, Caesar moved, and in just a few seconds Caesar was cut.

"Okay, are you really happy with that?" asked Caesar.

"Ah, so fast, yes, it's so much easier to come down without extra hair" Lucy of Adras laughed, her hair as long as Lucy had been cut short.

"Is there really nothing wrong with you?" said Lucy, a little surprised.

"Is there a tradition of cherishing hair in Aceland?" asked Lucy of Eldras, with some curiosity.

"No, it's just that girls should have better hair," Lucy said.

"Girl, it's not bad to be alive in this world," Lucy of Adreas smiled faintly, glanced at Qin Xiu, turned around and looked out the window at the town that had long been dark.

"I haven't thought about it at all these years, and since that person left, I just know to stay strong......" Lucy of Adras said lightly.

"But that's not enough, right?" said Lucy of Adras, again, as if asking someone else and herself.

"What?" Lucy felt a hint of unwillingness as Lucy listened to Adras.

"No, it's nothing......" Lucy of Adras turned to look at Qin Xiu, "You just asked me what my name was, right?"

"En" Qin Xiu nodded.

"Hello, my name is Lucy Asura, may I ask what is your name?" Lucy raised her hand and shook hands.

"Hello, my name is Xiu Scamoz, Lucy, you can call me Ah Xiu like everyone else" Qin Xiu took Lucy Ashulei's hand and answered Lucy Ashulei's question.

Lucy Ashulei was stunned after Qin Xiu held her hand, the feeling of shaking hands seemed to be exactly the same as back then, but Lucy Ashulei quickly reacted, because it was just her own memory, or an illusion was not an exaggeration.
