Chapter 258: The Secret That Can't Be Spoken
"You mean there's a strange magic in the Flower Palace?" said Lucy as she looked at Xiu with some surprise.
"Well, but I think it's nothing, it's normal for a country to have some hidden weapons or something in the palace" Xiu nodded, and after Lebi walked away, the three of them talked about the magic of the sacrifice again, and then Xiu talked about it.
"Is it just this place in the palace? isn't there the Domus Arena, the venue of the Great Demon Fight?" Mirazhen wondered.
"No, just this part of the palace, because it's in the palace, so I thought it shouldn't be a big deal, but this magic is faint, as if it was blocked by something," Xiu said.
"That's why you're a little curious about this?" said Mirajan with a slight smile.
"Well, pretty much, but I didn't plan to check it out, after all, it's also a country's secret," Xiu nodded.
"What if it's a lethal weapon, wouldn't it be better to see it?" said Lucy.
"If that's the case, what can I do with a lethal weapon when I look at it......" Xiu said as he looked at Lucy.
"This ...... It doesn't seem to work......" Lucy thought for a moment.
"That's it, so the ones who should be there are there, and I'm just a little curious when I mention this, by the way, how was your game today?" Xiu then asked about today's game.
"Speaking of which, it's exciting today, we have won again at the same level as yesterday, and the tail of the crow that deliberately targeted us has also been driven out by the Great Demon," Lucy excited.
"Crow's Tail? This is the guild? How could it be aimed at Fairy Tail? Can you tell me more about the competition?" Xiu said, although he knew that everyone was participating in this Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Exercise, and he also got together with everyone yesterday, but he didn't know the specific things about the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts at all, only that Fairy Tail was competing for the first goal, which he knew from the note in front of the tavern where he saw Fairy Tail.
"Hmm," Lucy nodded, and then began to talk about participating in the preliminaries.
Ten minutes later, Xiu realized that everyone had encountered so many things during his absence.
"I see, no wonder it's so similar to Fairy Tail's name," Xiu said slowly.
Xiu looked around and soon saw that Makanov and Lagersas were not in the tavern, and it seemed that they had gone out because of this.
"No matter when family affection is always tied to people," Xiu sighed.
…………
On a certain street in Kulokas, it is a famous tourist spot that is very lively during the day, but because it is already quiet at night, but at this time a large stone at the entrance of the tourist spot is occupied, and a person is leaning on it, and in the sparse moonlight it can be seen that this person is Lagersas who has not gone to the tavern banquet.
At this time, Lagersas was thinking about what Ivan said during the day, with a calm face.
"So you're ...... here," a familiar voice came to mind, and Lagsas turned his head slightly to the right, and suddenly saw Makanov walking slowly.
Looking at Makanov's figure, Lagersas remembered again what he had said to his bastard father during the day, and Ivan's anger and unwillingness were too much to puzzle him.
"Old man, what is Photon.Reconstruction?" asked Lagersas, looking at Makanov.
"You listened to Ivan...... Makanov said in a deep voice.
"Not only had he heard of it, but he wanted to get it," Ragsas said.
"That stinky boy...... " Makanov said slowly, and it was completely undiscernible from his silence that Makanov was thinking.
"He also said it was the darkness of Fairy Tail," Lagersas continued, and then noticed Makanov's expression again, and as he expected, Makanov's expression became even more silent.
"That's not the darkness of Fairy Tail," just as Makanov was silent, another voice rang out.
Ragsas and Makanov were startled when they heard this.
"The first?" said Makanov, a little surprised, he didn't expect this to attract Mebis, but when he thought of it, Mebis couldn't come.
"That's bright for Fairy Tail...... Mebis said again.
"The first, you can't say ......," Makanov immediately cried out.
"I know, that's something that only the presidents know," Mebis smiled slightly, and then looked at Lagersas, "Do you understand? Lagersas ......" Mebis asked.
"If it weren't for something strange, I wouldn't ......bother to ask," said Lagerthas, who had already shown himself to know what was important after saying this.
"Thank you......" Mebis thanked.
"But where the hell did Ivan know about it," Makanov wondered, even though he had known about it a long time ago, and it was because of this that Makanov expelled Ivan from the guild.
"I guess I knew it from the second president, Plessit," Mebis said slowly.
"It's possible," Makanov replied with a nod.
"I didn't expect Placid to fall into the darkness, it's all because I didn't choose the right person," Mebis said with some gloom.
"No, it's not the fault of the first generation......" Makanov shook his head
"It's me...... It's me......" Mebis whispered, but as she spoke, she began to weep under her breath.
At this moment, Makanov and Lagsas were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Mebis to cry like this, the other party was the first president of Fairy Tail and a ghost, these two identities made them completely unsure of what to do.
"Hatsudai, you're ......," Makanov cried out in a panic.
"What should I do, old man......" Ragsas asked, looking scared.
Mebis turned around and sat up with Makanov and Lagersas on his back: "I didn't cry...... No," Mebis quibbled, but her low cry still rang in the ears of Makanov and Lagersas.
"Lagersas, coax her, ............," Makanov cried out in panic.
"This, this is too difficult......" Ragsas panicked, if this scene was seen by the Thor people, I don't know what they would think, but the thought of comforting a ghost and making her mood better, this is indeed not something that people can do.
In this way, Mebis's crying continued for more than a minute, and Makanov and Lagersas also stood helpless for a minute, and a figure slowly walked over, and there were doubtful voices.
"What's wrong? Why is there a little girl crying?"
When they heard the voice, they all looked at the source of the sound.
"Axiu, are you back?by the way, come and coax her" Makanov was a little surprised by Xiu who came over, but quickly threw the question of Mebis crying to Xiu.
"Coax her?" Xiu said with some confusion, and then looked carefully, only to realize that it was Mebis.
"It's you, you're the first president of Fairy Tail, I remember well, you should be a ghost, if I'm not wrong, the ghost won't have tears anyway," Xiu looked at Mebis and said.
After hearing Xiu's words, Mebis's cry was lowered, and then he stared at Xiu without saying a word.
"So it's fake crying?" said Ragsas in surprise.
"No, the ghost is also a human before being a ghost, as long as he has a relatively complete consciousness, he can have human emotions, which is ironic, obviously he is no longer human, but he still retains what belongs to people" Xiu said slowly, in fact, he can think of himself once he sees Mebis, after all, he used to have the same identity as Mebis now, "ghost".
"Ashu, what are you talking about, how did you get your words?" asked Makanov.
"It's nothing, I was called by everyone to come to you, because Lagsas defeated the crow's tail today, so they have to drink with Lagsas, but Lagsas is not there, so let me come to you, Lagsas, the Thor are worried about you, they also came out to look for you, and there is a guy in the tavern who is clamoring to fight you......" Xiu looked at Lagsas and said slowly.
"Natsu ......" heard Xiu's last words, enough for Lagersas to immediately know who was making a fuss.
"That's right, I came to you because of this, no matter what, I can't worry the people in the guild, some things are like this, in order for everyone to live happily and safely, what should be concealed must be concealed......" Makanov looked at Lagersas and said.
"I see, I'm going to the tavern, Natsu is going to have a headache if he gets into trouble at the tavern," Largersas said, walking straight past Xiu's side and heading straight in the direction of the tavern, quickly disappearing from Xiu's vision because of the sky.
"In that case, I'll go back too, and those little ghosts will mess around without me," Makanov said, and as he walked after Lagersas.
"Nothing serious, right?" asked Makanov after a pause next to Xiu.
"Probably not," Xiu shook his head.
"Well, that's for the best," Makanov nodded, and then chased after the figure of Ragsas again.
Xiu didn't follow, and turned his head to look at Mebis.
"You came because of that sacrificial magic?" asked Mebis as he looked at Xiu.
"Hmm......" Xiu nodded.
"The ghost's heartache, that's ironic, isn't it?" Xiu continued.
"Yes......" Mebis nodded slightly, "Plesitt and I have experienced so many things before, and the establishment of Fairy Tail also has his part, and it is really ironic that his former comrades have become today's old enemies......" Mebis said slowly, because she couldn't cry Mebis looked very gloomy.
"And you regret it now?" Xiu asked.
"No, Plessit was definitely not like that at that time, he was a very righteous man," Mebis said.
"There is no distinction between good and evil, you know this best," Xiu said.
Mebis didn't say anything, but his expression sank.
"Did your body die on its own?" Xiu asked.
"It should be considered a ......," Mebis said, looking up at Xiu, "Thank you for resetting the Hidden Barrier for Sirius Island last time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave Sirius Island with peace of mind."
"Last time, I only thanked you for saving everyone, but at the time I thought you were some guardian elf on the island," Xiu shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to be the first president of Fairy Tail......"
"I was also shocked at the time, the badge engraved with the fairy tail has such strange magical powers, and it is so powerful...... "Mebis said.
"Your body...... Is it the Missing Body?" Mebis looked at Xiu carefully, and said with some confusion.
"You can find out about this......" Xiu was slightly surprised.
"No, it's just that your aura is much weaker now than it was then, that's why I think so, the ghost has a strong sense of energy," Mebis said.
"Haven't I asked you why I walked out of Sirius Island for something important?" Xiu asked.
"Why do you ask this?" said Mebis, confused.
"Because you're a ghost......" Xiu said.
"Yes, I really want to see something when I walk out of Sirius Island, something I regret not seeing," Mebis sighed.
"In my time, there was no council, and the guilds of wizards waged wars against each other at will, and Fairy Tail was founded in that era," Mebis said slowly, reflecting on the past.
"What is the purpose of establishing this guild, I want to see the harmony between guilds and guilds, the friendship between fellow citizens, but what do these things represent in such an era......
"A script that wants to see a happy ending, but then gets stuck again and again, and then the ...... of war," Mebis said slowly, sitting on the ground and holding his feet.
"I think I still know exactly what Placit was thinking when he invaded Sirius Island, and it wasn't anyone's fault, it was probably the magic of the self that made so many people completely lost today," Mebis muttered.
"That's the reason why my heart is not firm," Xiu said.
"Yes, there is only one explanation now, power does not distinguish between good and evil, it lies in the heart" Mebis repeated Xiu's words, and then added a sentence himself.
"Are you really unfamiliar with Zeref?" asked Mebis as he looked at Xiu.
"Well, if you would like to tell me more about him," Xiu nodded.
"It's really surprising that you were a man from 400 years ago, just like him, but you don't know anything about him," Mebis sighed.
"The gap between the times, I was before Zeref, in fact, what surprised me more was you, looking at me on Sirius Island, you said something about me, fortunately you are not my enemy......" Xiu said slowly, he remembered the scene when he appeared on Sirius Island and was questioned by Mebis.
"It's natural, suddenly a stranger appeared and engraved with my guild's constitution, so I naturally wanted to ask, I didn't expect to know a magic that surprised me," Mebis smiled slightly.
"It's just magic that has been eliminated by the times...... Xiu said helplessly.
"Didn't you create your current magic based on this magic that was eliminated by the times, it's not ordinary magic......" Mebis said, she had never seen the type of magic she cultivated, let alone knew what effect this magic had.
"Magic, in fact, think about it, it's just those unchanging ideas," Xiu said with a sigh.
"As long as you have that heart, can't you do anything?" said Xiu again.
"yes, I feel lucky to have seen what I had hoped to see...... " Mebis smiled.
"You should too, something you didn't get in that era......" Mebis looked at the monk.
"yes, but if you think about it, it's been too much, isn't it?"
"Dark Wizard Mebis......" Xiu looked at Mebis and chuckled softly.
After hearing Xiu call himself like this, Mebis also smiled slightly.
