Chapter 226: The Kingdom of Ethea

The Kingdom of Fiore is only in the southwesternmost corner of the entire continent of Ethrant, and the entire kingdom is almost surrounded by the sea, and the only place that is not near the sea is the northeast, and this is also the only place where Fiorella borders with other countries.

In the port city of Getra to the northwest of Fiore, Mirajan and Lucy had boarded a passenger ship bound for the kingdom of Ethea.

Since the Kingdom of Etea does not border with Fiore and the Kingdom of Etea is located in the northwest direction of Fiore, it can almost be said that it is across the sea from Fiore, Mirajane and Lucy chose to use only two days of passenger ferry in order to save a little time, instead of taking a three-day train, which needs to cross three countries by train and arrive directly by boat.

Originally, Elfman and Lishana wanted to accompany Mirajan, but because of the Great Demon Dao's martial arts, Mirajan refused, and also rejected Natsu and them.

For Mirajane and Lucy, now they can't exert their original strength at all, but Naz Elfman is different, they need to spend time practicing to make up for the gap of the past seven years, especially since they have decided to participate in the Great Demon Dao martial arts, and now they can't be delayed because of their affairs, so they have to set off to practice.

There is still nearly a day and a half left before the Ethia Kingdom, and Mirajane and Lucy will soon be able to see that Xiu has some expectations and fears in their hearts, for them it may have been less than a week, but the real time is a full seven years.

This era has almost made them unable to keep up, what has happened to their cultivation in the past seven years, who made their magic source shatter after they lost consciousness on Sirius Island, why they haven't returned for seven years, these are all questions they have been thinking about for nearly a week, and they have never thought about anything else.

"This is the second time we've crossed Fiore's borders to reach another country," Lucy muttered as she watched the passing waters.

"I think it's all because of Ah Xiu," Mirazhen laughed.

"Yes," Lucy nodded, seven years ago because of Ashu's business, he went to the Forest of Miracles, which was also within the confines of another country.

"It feels like we're going to run a lot farther as we follow in Ashu's footsteps," Mirajan chuckled softly as she remembered something.

"Why are you laughing?" Lucy wondered.

"Because I remembered Ashu's dream," Mirazhen laughed.

"Once upon a time, why did you say it was?" asked Lucy curiously.

"Because after he joined the guild, he said that his dream was to travel around in this world, and then he was delayed because of learning modeling magic, and then he was stopped by us because of the lack of survival ability in the wild, and then it was simple to receive commissioned work in the guild to gain experience, and it went on like this, until he was strong enough to travel, and I asked him why he didn't go to the test, and only then did I know that he regarded the commission as a trip, and in a way he may have been used to life in the guild, and liked Fairy TailMirajane chuckled softly.

"I see, I feel a little similar to Kildas......" Lucy said after a moment's thought.

"Kildas?,?" Mirajane said as soon as she heard Lucy say Kirdas's knee-jerk reaction.

When Lucy heard this, a black line suddenly appeared on her forehead, and she quickly remembered the scene when everyone saw Kana and Kildas recognize each other on Sirius Island, and Kildas at that time fully exposed his extremely lustful nature under his strong strength, in addition to having Kana's mother, Kildas unconsciously shook out the woman who had been good with him, which made everyone on the scene completely stunned.

"I guess it's the other side of the habit of traveling around......" Lucy Khan said.

"That's what you said......" Mira Zhen said with a dry smile, the word lust doesn't seem to be related to Xiu, and the usual Xiu doesn't reveal anything, and in private, Mila doesn't notice it.

At this moment, the two girls realized that Xiu seemed to be a little too good.

"Sure enough, there was something missing...... "Mira Zhen said to herself.

"I hope this trip to the Etoya Kingdom can make everything clear......" Mirajan looked up at a seabird that had just flown by, and said slowly.

"Why hasn't you been back for seven years?" said Lucy.

"No......" Mirajane said, turning her head to Lucy, "not only that, but there are other things, and these things are the key ......"

"Huh?" Lucy was stunned as she looked at Mirajan with a serious expression.

"The specific thing, let's talk about it after meeting Ashu after I arrived in the Ethia Kingdom, the reason why I was shaken by Uncle Ollie's words is also because of these ...... that you and I don't know," Mirajan said slowly.

…………

The capital of the Kingdom of Etya is Riopilles

In the past two and a half days, Mirajan set out from the port city of Getra of the Kingdom of Fiore, and after nearly two days of sea voyage, she arrived at the port city of Sinegbo, the port city of the Kingdom of Etya, and then departed from Sinegbo, and finally arrived at Ríopias, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Ethea, by train for six hours.

"In which direction is the company of the Stromola consortium?" asked Lucy to the owner of a street shop.

"Stromora, they're in the new town area in the eastern suburbs, and you'll know it's that building when you get there," replied the shopkeeper cheerfully.

"Thank you, boss," Lucy and Mira Jean bowed to the street shop owner in thanks, and then the two girls hurried to the east.

When the two women followed the guidance of the locals to the new town, they recognized in a second that the building was the company building of the Stromotara Foundation.

"I really recognized it at a glance," Lucy said, looking at the luxurious building in the distance.

"Yes......" Mirajan sighed.

It turns out that the new town of Riopilles is specially planned, and when you enter the new town, it is a street up to 20 meters wide, surrounded by some people driving on the streets in magic four-wheeled vehicles, and there are also horse-drawn carriages and animal carts passing by, and some small streets branch out from this wide street to form the new town of Riopilles.

The wide street rises straight forward, and after stretching for nearly 2,000 meters, a gorgeous building with a height of more than 20 meters like a tree branch appears directly in people's eyes, and that building is the company of the Stromo Kela Foundation.

Mirajane and Lucy then began to make their way to the company of the Stero Consortium, which was clearly visible in the distance.

A few minutes later, Mirajan and Lucy had arrived in front of the building, looked at the building in front of them, and the two women glanced at each other, then nodded slightly.

The two girls were about to walk in when they were stopped by two young girls who looked like hostesses standing in the doorway.

"I'm sorry, but we're not allowing visitors to enter, except for our staff," one of the girls said to Mirajane and Lucy.

"We're not tourists, we're here to find people," Mirajan explains.

"Well, who are you looking for, I can inform you ......and take you there," the hostess asked.

"Well, let's look for Ah Xiu, is he here......" Lucy continued.

"Ah Xiu?" The two hostesses glanced at each other, then shook their heads at each other and looked at Mirajan and Lucy again, "May I ask if this is his real name?" It seems that the two hostesses don't know Xiu, to be precise, they don't know the name Axiu.

"Hugh Scamers......," Mirajane responded.

"It turns out that you are friends with Master Xiu, sorry, we were rude," the two hostesses immediately bent down and apologized.

When Mirajane and Lucy heard this, they quickly showed joy.

"Sister Mira, Ah Xiu, it's really here......" Lucy smiled.

"Well," Mirajan nodded happily.

"It's a coincidence that you're here, you only came back a few days ago, but you don't seem to have seen it in the past few days, and I don't know if you're still in the company," the other waitress continued.

"I'm going to inform Lord Monley, can you wait a moment," said the hostess, who was the first to speak, and walked down the hall.

"Excuse me, what did you say about Ah Xiu coming back a few days ago?" asked Mirazhen as she looked at the hostess who had just told Xiu the information.

"I don't know about this, I've heard from the old employees in the company that Master Xiu is the younger brother of Master Mengli, and he seems to be a very powerful magician, who is engaged in the expansion of the magic path in the company, so he often travels to various countries, so he can see a lot of interesting things" The waitress said with some envy.

"The last time he went back to the company was a few days ago, and he hasn't appeared in the past few days, so I don't know if he's going on a trip again," the waitress sighed again.

"Thank you," Mirajan thanked.

"Speaking of which, if you are friends of Master Xiu, how can you not know about Lord Xiu's situation?" the hostess suddenly reacted and asked Mira Zhen.

"Actually, we haven't seen him for seven years, and we haven't seen him for seven years, until recently," Mirajane explained.

"Is that so......?" the hostess was stunned for a moment, she didn't notice anything unusual, and then she didn't think much about it, even if there was any problem, Lord Monley would finish dealing with it.

After waiting for two or three minutes, Mirajane and Lucy, saw the waitress who had just left come out of the hall, followed by a man.

Mirajane and Lucy recognized the man, who was none other than Monley.

"I think you're the only one who can find Ah Xiu here," Munley walked to the entrance of the hall and stopped to look at Mirajane and Lucy.

"I heard that you came back alive from Sirius Island, so I guessed that you would always come" Meng Li smiled, and then turned around and walked into the hall, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk......"

Mirajane and Lucy stared at each other, and then followed.

There is a staircase leading to the second floor in the hall of the university, and like the whole building, this staircase is also very ornate, and there is no such lifeless appearance that you usually see, and the two women are looking around while following behind Monley.

This building looks like a tree branch from the outside, and those tree teeth are actually small offices from the inside, like this kind of office, there are only five in the whole building, and from the outside, it looks like five branches, in addition to these five branches, there is also a main office, that is, the top room of the branches, and there is a mechanism outside this room, so there are only a limited number of people, and no one can walk in, because this is the core secret of the Stemola magic props.

As he walked at the forefront, he also introduced these things to Mirajane and Lucy, which made Mirajane and Lucy a little puzzled, why did they introduce these things to them, and he also led them to the top of the office, which is the core secret of the whole Stromora.

Standing two meters outside the office, Munley began to draw into the air, and in less than two seconds Mirajane and Lucy saw a transparent film of light appear in front of Munley, and then the film of light revealed a hole in the middle that could accommodate a person and a half.

"Is this a technique?" Lucy wondered.

"No, it's a different barrier from the technique, and it's a ...... set by Ixilan," Munley explained.

"Enchantment? Very few people learn this kind of magic now, and after the appearance of the enchantment, this kind of magic has been gradually replaced, because the magic has more potential for development than the enchantment," Mirazhen said with some surprise.

"Don't underestimate Ixilan, her enchantment magic is not ordinary enchantment magic, but the enchantment magic known as the Absolute Realm, and in a way, she is a very dangerous being......," Munley said.

"That makes sense, how could the eldest lady of the Stymodala Magic Prop Company not know magic......" Lucy muttered.

"Let's go in, aren't you here for Ah Xiu" Meng Li said as he looked at Mirajan and Lucy, and walked into the enchantment first.

Mirajane and Lucy continued to follow Monley, and when they entered the barrier, the hole in the transparent barrier closed, and then disappeared into the air as if it had been seen in the north, and Monley then opened the door to his office, and suddenly a wide hall appeared in the eyes of Mirajane and Lucy again.

When I walked in, I found that the hall was closed, there was not a single window, and there were many specific magic lamps in it, so the whole hall was extremely bright, on the left side of the hall there were some bookshelves, which seemed to be full of things that looked like materials, and on the right side there were some chairs, and on one of the chairs was sitting a woman, looking at them, and there was nothing else else in the place.

"Miss Iseland......" Lucy quickly recognized who the woman was.

"You're really fast," Dakai already knew that Mirajane and Lucy were coming, so Ixilan's expression didn't show surprise.

Mirajan looked around again, making sure there was no one else in the hall besides her, Lucy, Ixilan, and Monley, "What about Ashu?" Mirajan asked.

Hearing Mirajane's straightforward question, Isilan and Munley looked at each other and fell silent.

"Why the silence? Won't you tell us?" asked Mirajane again.

"That's not what we meant, we're thinking about what to say to you......" Isiran denied.

"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.

"Actually, there's nothing to hide from you, Ashu has already left," Monley said.

"Gone on a trip?" Mirajane was taken aback.

"No, Ah Xiu is taking Siqiya to the other side of the world," Meng Li said without concealment.

"What is that place?" wondered Mirajane.

"I've never heard of it," Lucy said, too, puzzled.

"You should know Adellas," Monley continued.

Hearing Meng Li say this, Mirajane and Lucy suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"You know...... the two women nodded slightly, and whispered, "What's going on?"

"The other side of the world, like Adras, is almost another world, although it is connected to our current world," Monley explained.

"What...... Mirajane and Lucy were stunned by Monley's words.

After a long time, Mirajan and Lucy regained their senses and looked at Monley again, "You mean...... Ashu, now in another world?" asked Mirajane, stunned.

"Well...... That's right, the other world, the other world......" Monley nodded in response to Mirajan's words.
