Luo Xiu smiled and declined Elusa's invitation. He found that his mental state was not good, so he decided to go quietly alone and spend a vacation by the way.
Elusa looked regretful: "That's what a pity. ”
In the next second, Elusa was already dressed in casual clothes and pulled a cart to salute Natsu and Gray, as well as Lucy (and a certain cat): "Are you all okay?
After smiling and watching them leave, Rosho and Makarov spoke, found a place where no one was around, and opened a stargate.
"By the way, the time flow rate between the Star Spirit Realm and this side is a bit different, so I have to adjust it......"
In the original book, the Star Spirit King once opened the door and entertained Natsu and them to go to the Star Spirit Realm to have a good time. As a result, they had a good day, only to come back to find that nearly three months had passed.
This can be avoided. All you need to do is add a time-related adjustment when you open the door between the two realms. However, these techniques were not simple, and it took Luo Xiu thirty years to master them.
After finishing, Luo Xiu shouted leisurely to the other side of the door: "Hey~ Can you hear me?"
The sound came through the door towards the back of the door, and there seemed to be echoes here. After a minute of waiting, the door opened.
"Hello Mr. Luo Xiu!"
A big bearded man with a group of star spirits stood in line to welcome him.
Luo Xiu couldn't remember how many times he had experienced similar scenes, but he was still not used to it. Shaking his head helplessly, he walked in: "Long time no see......"
Many years ago, Luo Xiu accidentally opened the door to the Star Spirit Realm because of a magic experiment. After that, the inhabitants of the two worlds began to communicate. As the first person to communicate with the Star Spirit and have survived to the present, the friendship between Luo Xiu and the Star Spirit is far deeper than that of others.
The first person to develop the star spirit magic and confirm it as a new kind of magic drew on the experimental data left by Luo Xiu at that time.
As for why the Star Spirits respected Luo Xiu...... That's a long story, and the long story is short: when they were children, Luo Xiu lived in the Star Spirit Realm for a while. During this time, something happened that the Star Spirits didn't want to recall.
When Luo Xiu was on vacation in the Star Spirit Realm, Natsu and they had some trouble at the place where they were vacationing.
Fate or coincidence? Rocky gave them tickets to the resort, which was located by the sea. After many years, Alusa has "deliberately" forgotten some things, so she has not been able to discover the fact that the place she has been to is very close to the place she fled back then.
Gerald, who began to act, commanded his fools and captured Elusa. Then, he used his thoughts to urgently convene the council, and told everyone the information about the Tower of Paradise, which was the "R system" designed by Jelf.
Urrutia had contacted Luo Xiu beforehand, and according to the agreement, he continued his espionage behavior. The R system doesn't have to worry either, because Jeelf isn't dead at all, and naturally won't be resurrected.
While the council was debating whether to make a come, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray had already sorted out the current situation and decided to head for the Tower of Paradise. There is also an unexpected person, Jubian Rox (ser) of the former Ghost Four Elements. This one, who had fought with Gray in the previous battle, secretly followed them here.
In the face of Zhu Bi'an's obvious and understandable confession, Gray, who had never considered this, shyly chose to escape. But since he didn't refuse immediately, it means that there is still a chance, right? Zhu Bi'an silently cheered himself up.
"But it's still weird......"
They were searching for the tower on the sea in a small boat, and on the way, Gray thought about it and still felt that something was wrong: "How could they have taken Elusa without injury? Lucy, you were there at the time, did you see what the other party used?"
"That's how it was ...... then"
Lucy began to recount what had happened. To put it simply, when Elusa was killing all sides at the table, a dark-skinned killer Matt suddenly appeared. Then seeing the face of killing Matt, Elusa had a complicated face, her whole body trembled, and her combat power instantly became 0.
Then, using magic like he had never seen before, he used a card to take both her and Elusa. Only in the end, the one who killed Matt only took Elusa.
"Sure enough, you've encountered magic that you've never seen before......" Gray and they encountered a square-faced "gentleman", a little girl who liked cats, and a large man who covered half of his face. Because I hadn't seen their magic, I was caught off guard.
Somehow, he was suddenly beaten up and his companions (Elusa and Harpy) were taken away, and both Natsu and Gray were already on the verge of exploding. Now that Natsu had withered because of the boat, Gray had quickly calmed down.
After drifting on the sea for about two hours, when they could no longer see the shore, they finally found a small towering shadow.
So he quickly approached.
When I got closer, I found that this tower was really quite tall. To say the least, it's seventeen or eighteen stories high. And there are defensive techniques.
……
A defensive technique?!
"Jump!"
Spotting a powerful artillery strike flying towards their boat, Gray grabbed Natsu and Lucy and jumped overboard.
And Zhu Bi'an was worthy of being an S-class magician, and at the last moment, he used water to make a water film to offset the impact of the explosion, and at the same time created a thick fog to cover them from the opponent's attack range.
"Poof!"
Natsu floated up from underwater, and after getting off the boat, the reaction of the motion sickness vehicle quickly improved.
Gray followed suit, and surfaced: "This is trouble. It's no wonder that it hasn't been discovered so far!"
"The problem is that we are going to be so close now?" asked Lucy a very practical question.
"That ......" Zhu Bi'an raised his hand weakly: "I can make an air hood with water film." It can also be disguised as seawater by currents. I just looked at it, and it seems that the bottom of the tower is connected to the sea. ”
When Gray heard this, he immediately smiled and praised, "Oh! Great! I'm glad to have you, Jubien!"
I'm glad you're here, Zhu Bi'an!An!An!An......
The Jubian has been sunk!
Zhu Bi'an lowered his head, silently made a few air hoods, and then wrapped them in a stream of water, disguised as seawater. Eventually, they made it into the tower.
"Well, there doesn't seem to be an enemy......"
Cautiously emerging from the water, they glanced around.
Lucy noticed that Natsu had been silent since just now, and asked, "Natsu, you seem to have been thinking about something from the beginning, is there something wrong?"
"Ahh
Natsu finally remembered something and shouted. In the strange gazes of the others, Natsu pulled out a small, paper-like object from inside his scarf.
"Natsu, what's that?"
Natsu scratched her head: "I don't know. But this is what Uncle Luo Xiu gave us before we left. He said that our Yin Tang was black or something, but I didn't understand it anyway. But in the end, he said that if he ran into something that couldn't be solved, he would use this. What the hell is this?"
The others gathered around and saw what Natsu was holding. It is a square piece of paper with dense runes engraved on it. The runes intertwined with each other to form a spell that looked powerful.
