The next morning, Lucy, Natsu, and Gray arrived at the station early. The three www.biquge.info of them waited for a while, but Elusa and Luo Xiu still hadn't appeared, and they started chatting.

Natsu and Gray were probably born to be in a bad mood, and they quarreled within two sentences. If it weren't for Lucy still on the side, and in public, they would probably throw off their arms and do it ♂ immediately!

Just when the two of them were about to endure to the limit and were about to fight, Luo Xiu moved slowly but quickly (like the feeling of walking on a conveyor belt?): "Good morning~ You guys are really early." ”

"It's too late!" Lucy looked like she was about to cry, it was too much pressure to stay with Natsu and Gray.

"Isn't Elusa not here yet, she's the initiator. The protagonist didn't arrive, so I wasn't late, uncle. Luo Xiu said with a smile, looking like an old fritter.

"Damn...... I can't refute it!" Lucy was unwilling to bend forward.

Luo Xiu turned his head to Natsu and Gray, who had already started to move, and said, "You two, you'd better settle down." Elusa should be there soon. ”

After all, I especially stepped on it before she arrived--this sentence Luo Xiu didn't say.

So as soon as Luo Xiu's words fell, Elusa appeared with a bunch of small mountains of luggage, and Natsu and Gray instantly became brothers. Elusa saw that everyone but herself had arrived: "I'm sorry, have you waited for a long time?ah, good morning, teacher!"

Luo Xiu smiled and nodded to Elusa, and then reached out and pulled out three long things from his sleeve: "Yesterday's horn has been processed. You get a total of three finished products, you try to see if you can get it, and I'll help you fine-tune it. ”

The three things that came out of the sleeve were a spear and two long knives. However, the length of these three things was obviously longer than the length of Luo Xiu's sleeve. Lucy noticed that when Luo Xiu's hand reached into the sleeve, it didn't go very deep, because the sleeve of the cuff was not bulging.

"Isn't that weird?" a voice suddenly rang in Lucy's ears.

Lucy's attention seemed to be overfocused, and she replied in a daze, "yes, that's amazing." It's just a sleeve, but how the hell did you put something that long in it?"

"Huh?" After saying that, Lucy suddenly realized, "Who am I talking to?"

She turned her head to see a blue cat with a "ask me, ask me and I'll tell you" expression, looking very expectant.

"Ahaha...... laughed dryly, Lucy covered her forehead and asked, "Harpy, what kind of magician is Uncle Rosho?"

Getting what he wanted, Harpy began to explain with a smile: "Uncle Luo Xiu has never teamed up with anyone so far, and he rarely shows his magic in front of everyone. However, according to the information provided by the president, he has mastered at least 30 kinds of magic! It is said to be created by the uncle, and it is essentially a costume magic. ”

"Thirty or thirty?!What an amazing number!Uncle Luo Xiu, is his magic very strong?" Lucy was a little surprised. Usually a magician will only study one kind of magic, and more than that is a branch or extension of that kind of magic. After all, magic is a thing that is not much more expensive.

"Of course it'......"

When Harpy was about to speak, Luo Xiu suddenly thickened: "It's not strong." It's weak, it's not like that. ”

"Wow" x2

"Hah, I scared you? I'm sorry. I heard you guys talking about Uncle I, so I came over. Luo Xiu chuckled lightly and said, "I do have a lot of magic. At present, the number of mastered is 4,725 to be exact. However, the uncle learned so much magic not because the magic was strong, but because the magic was weak. ”

Hearing the number 4725, Lucy was startled, but when she heard Luo Xiu say that her magic power was very weak, she couldn't help but shift her attention to that direction: "Is Uncle's magic power weak?"

"That's right. Most of the magician's magic is related to bloodlines. So if you're a civilian, and you don't have any talent or adventures, your magic is usually not strong. Unfortunately, Uncle I'm the kind of civilian magician, and I have neither talent nor adventure. ”

"Eh~ That's it. And uncle, how much is your magic?"

"How much magic is there...... Let's do the math, if your total mana is 100, then mine is probably only 50. ”

"Uncle, your magic is ...... Half of me?" Lucy expressed disbelief. You must know that Elusa, known as the Fairy Queen, is Luo Xiu's disciple. As a teacher, Luo Xiu, no matter how bad he is, can't be weaker than a rookie magician like himself.

Luo Xiu knew what she was thinking when he saw Lucy's expression, and without explanation, he reminded him: "Okay, it's time to go." ”

Get on the train.

Natsu, who was alive and well a second ago, withered into a bug and collapsed on her seat the moment the train started.

"Really, every time. Natsu, you're useless!" the people in the room would taunt Natsu like that, and it would be Gray.

"Don't say that. Natsu is a dragon slayer, so there is no way to do it with weak vehicles. Luo Xiu said, reaching out to the center of Natsu's eyebrows: "[ehilibru] (balance)." ”

"Are you feeling a little more comfortable now?"

Natsu sat up straight, feeling a little incredibly in good shape at the moment: "Although it is still a little uncomfortable, it is completely bearable! Uncle, what have you done?

"Just a little buff magic. You'll get dizzy because of the feeling of imbalance, so I've strengthened your sense of balance a little bit. By the way, this magic was created to imitate the dragon-slaying magic of the sky. If you have a dragon slayer mage in the sky, you should be able to overcome this feeling completely. ”

"Really?" Natsu's eyes lit up: "Yo Xi! I must find a Sky Dragon Slayer Wizard to be my partner when I go out on a mission!"

Elusa clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention, "Alright, since Natsu is okay, I'll talk about our goal this time." Before I came back the day before yesterday, I had dinner in a tavern. That's when I heard ......"

Elusa began to talk about what she had seen and heard a few days ago, and explained by the way why the operation needed to form a team and the goal.

"I see. Elusa, your judgment is very accurate. After listening, Luo Xiu thought about it and said to Alusa with some seriousness: "But you are still not careful enough." When you hear the name "lullaby", you should react immediately. ”

"Teacher, do you know [lullaby]?" asked Elusa.

"I know what I know, I told you about it in class. Luo Xiu flicked it on Elusa's head, watching her cover her forehead and turn into a Q version, snickering in her heart, but her face was very serious: "That's the collective spell spell created by Jelf, the spell song [lullaby]." ”

"!!" They were shocked, in addition to the taboo name of Jelf, there was also something like collective curse magic, which sounded chilling.

Without waiting for them to recover, Luo Xiu continued to analyze: "The problem is not [lullaby], but the guys of the dark union in the Iron Forest, why do they go to such great lengths to get [lullaby]. Who are they trying to kill? Or rather, what group of people are they trying to kill?"

"This ......" several people used their brains. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be good at this kind of problem. So Luo Xiu began to guide their thoughts.

"We know quite a few things now. First of all, lullaby is a powerful collective spell of spelling, so they should have multiple targets, and they should be hated or able to benefit them after death. Secondly, Elusa, you said that the group mentioned time, right? That means that their goals are likely to have come together in the recent past. In the end, the people of Iron Forest are not strong, but they are not weak either, so what kind of goal would make them need to use [lullaby]?"

Elusa had a gut instinct for something, but it wasn't clear for a moment. Time passed slowly, and before they could figure out anything, their destination was reached—the town where Elusa met the people of the Iron Forest.

The domineering girl planned to go directly to the place of the Iron Forest Guild and sacrifice them with blood. In the original book, Natsu is left on the train because she is knocked unconscious by Elusa, which becomes the key to their encounter with Iron Forest. Luo Xiu knew this, so he had to do something: "Elusa, are you sure you met them in this town?"

Elusa was about to separate from them to gather information: "Ah, yes. Do you have any clues?"

"It's up to you. Can you name the physical traits of the Iron Foresters you saw a few days ago? I have the magic to track them back in time by specifying them. ”

"Let me recall, huh...... I remember a noisy man with a beard that resembled a mouse's beard. There is also a more gentle guy who said that he was going to break the seal of [Lullaby], and his hairstyle was pineapple head. ”

"Enough. Assuming the pineapple-headed guy has already gotten his hands on the lullaby, he should pass by here with the flute. The appearance of that flute is very individual--[Arc of Time?Retrospective Image]. ”

Luo Xiu's hands began to swipe quickly in the air, writing many magical words out of thin air.

Lucy, who was on the side, saw these unfamiliar magic words, and took out a Feng Yong's glasses with great interest and put them on: "Is this ...... Lost Words?!" (Feng Yong's glasses, magic props, depending on the quality, can increase a person's reading speed by 2~32 times.) ）

"Uncle, don't I still use it, how can I say it's lost!" Luo Xiu quickly drew out the last text, and said to Lucy and the others with a smile:

"This is a magical text that was popular five hundred and thirty years ago. Because of the high efficiency of magic conversion and utilization, it has attracted much attention. Unfortunately, people later discovered that improving their own magic power was the right way, so this complicated magical text was gradually forgotten. But it's very useful for people like uncles who don't have enough magic. ”

With a flick of his fingers, the words flew into the air, turning into a massive number of runes to form a figure, and then disappeared. In the end, a translucent man with pineapple hair and a skull-inlaid flute stuck in his bag was left walking down the street.

"That's right! it's this one!" Elusa's eyes widened.

"So what are you waiting for? Keep up! The video will take us to him......"
