Chapter 95: The Tower of Paradise Passage
Elusa couldn't understand why Gerald had somehow become a fanatical believer in "Jelf", and she later came to know what a terrible figure Jerf was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Gerald decided to keep the prisoners at his service, as it was almost impossible to find enough manpower to build the Tower of Paradise. Of course, Elusa was against it, how could everyone continue to suffer in such a place after they had finally escaped their slave status?
This is one of the reasons why Gerald would attack Elusa, because he knows that the girl is unlikely to agree to his rule. However, he was not willing to kill Elusa just like that, and the dark doctrine did not completely consume his conscience and reason, so he thought of a compromise.
He threatens her with the lives of the island's slaves, especially Miriana and Hugh, to force her to leave the island and never return, or he will hurt them and make her regret it for the rest of her life.
Desperate and helpless, Elusa was knocked unconscious by Gerald. When she awoke, she found herself lying in a small boat, having left the island and arrived on a beach in the kingdom of Fiore.
Despite Elusa's concern for her companions, Gerald's threats prevented her from returning to the island. She decided to find a better chance to solve the matter later. So for the sake of her future livelihood, she thought of becoming a sorcerer, and then came to the guild to which Rob once belonged, "Fairy Tail".
She met her current friends in "Fairy Tail" and became an S-class magician, independently challenging impossible missions, hoping to one day be able to land on the island with full certainty and save Miriana, Hugh, Woolley, and Simon.
As she grows up, she stumbles upon someone at the Council of Magic who changes her mind. She meets Gerald's twin brother, Zikrein. When she first met him, she thought Gerald had entered the Council of Magic, but Zicraine explained his identity to her, promising her that he would one day find a way to stop his brother from completing the Tower of Paradise if she was willing to keep it a secret.
Now that the "R-System" has been built, it is clear that Zikrein has not been able to keep his promise. Elusa, on the other hand, endured the pact for years, until today.
"In retrospect, if I had told President Makarov about the incident in the first place, it wouldn't have gotten as bad as it is today. "I don't know how Gerald's rhetoric instilled his belief in the Dark Mage into the minds of my companions, making them fanatical believers. Now they don't know that they have been deceived by Gerald for eight years, and it is my responsibility to beg you, and I beg you, if you meet them, Miliana, Hugh, Woolley, and Simon, please don't be heavy-handed, just make them unconscious if necessary. β
She said to Zhu Bi'an, who was standing at the back of the crowd, "Thank you very much for your help. If you are willing to continue to help, I will definitely remember the kindness of today. β
"Zhu Bi'an will help, where Lord Fukou is, Zhu Bi'an will be there. The Rain Maiden replied.
At this moment, there was a sound of heavy, slow footsteps. A thin man with blond hair and brown skin, dressed in a cheap tuxedo, walked over with an expression of disbelief.
He stared at Elusa, who had a complicated gaze, and asked, "Sister, is what you just said true?" or ...... Or are you making up a clever lie to gain their trust? You must be lying, aren't you?"
"Hugh ......" looked at the man who used to call her "sister" affectionately, Elusa felt guilty and distressed, and didn't know where to start explaining.
"She's telling the truth. A cloud of black mist swirled around Hugh, and then a tall man wearing a strange headdress appeared beside him and pressed his hand on his shoulder.
Except for Elusa, everyone else watched the two who suddenly appeared with wariness.
"Simon!" Hugh said angrily, shaking off his hand on his shoulder, distancing himself from him, "why do you think she is telling the truth?
"I have never obeyed him, and I have not betrayed him in any way. Simon said in a dull voice, "I haven't believed Elusa from the moment he mysteriously disappeared and was smeared by Gerald as a narrow-minded woman who burned down the ship. Elusa simply couldn't be someone to do that kind of thing. It's just that he is too powerful and good at winning people's hearts, so I choose to pretend to trust him in order to protect you. Now that Elusa has returned, and brought with me a group of powerful companions, I have decided to confess to you and work with them. β
Elusa looked at Simon gratefully, and Simon nodded kindly at her, she was glad that there was nothing more pleasing to her than to know that her partner still believed in her.
Hugh's face contorted as if his muscles twitched, and two diametrically opposed "truths" clashed in his mind. He gritted his teeth, eager to gouge his head open.
"But I've believed Gerald's words for eight years!You're telling me now that what I believe is all false!" he said with a wave of his arms excitedly, still in disbelief, "and tell me that what you're saying is true?"
He stepped back, his thoughts bordering on madness, and just as he was about to turn and flee, Elusa grabbed his arm and looked him in the eye with determination. After a while, as if something had melted, he lowered his head, his legs limped, and sat down on the ground, silent.
Simon said, "Come on, I know where Gerald is, and I know where your cat is, and I'll take you to find them." β
The hall of the underground palace where they were located suddenly shook at this time, and the stone hole of a stone statue on the stone wall lit up. At the same time, the voice of a strange man echoed through the stone walls.
"Simon, I never believed you, and I expected you to behave now, but you are too naΓ―ve to think that you can win me with this rabble? β
"It's Gerald. Simon pointed to the stone statue and said.
I haven't seen her for eight years, and Elusa's mood is the most tangled and complicated. On the one hand, she still has illusions about the kindness of Gerald in the past. On the other hand, she resents Gerald for deceiving them for eight years. His voice, Elusa, was familiar, because it was the same as Zikrein's.
"But Jerph's teachings taught me that there is nothing more desperate for the enemy than to give them a fair chance and see them return in vain. Now, I'm going to give you a chance too. β
The stone wall trembled and rumbled, and pieces of rubble continued to fall from the rock wall. Four stone-walled doors open in different directions, and the dark openings don't know where they lead.
"Let's play a game called 'Paradise Game'. There are four gates here, three of which lead to one of the 'three crows' of the assassination guild 'Skull and Bones Society' that I have hired, and they hold the lives of Miriana, Woolley, and the cat, respectively......"
"Damn bastard, Harpy, I'm here to save you!" Natsu easily found the passage to where Harpy was, ignoring the others, and rushed in without hesitation.
"Gerald!" Elusa said angrily, and sure enough, even after eight years, he was still the same dark Gerald.
And Hugh had to believe at this moment that Gerald was really the one who had deceived them for eight years, and he couldn't help but be even more desperate.
And Gerald didn't stop explaining the so-called "paradise game", and the only one who was listening seriously was Fuko.
"The last door, of course, leads to me. "You will enter each of these four gates, unless you don't want to save your companions, or defeat me." However, there is not much time left for you, and if you can't defeat the 'Three Crows' and me within the scheduled time, the Magic Council's 'Wizard Elven Power' will strike here with precision, and at that moment, we will all be wiped out. β
"'Wizard Elven Power'!" everyone was amazed, even if they didn't know much about it, but they knew that it was the ultimate weapon of the Magic Council, and that it had the power to destroy a town in an instant.
"The reason is, of course, simple. After all, my 'R-system' exists to revive the Jelf they feared. Therefore, the final result is either your victory, or my victory, Jerph's resurrection, and the world ruled by darkness, or we are all wiped out by the 'magic elves'. With that said, let's enjoy the game, but you'd better hurry, because I don't know when the 'Wizard Power' will be dropped, hahaha......"
In the midst of the arrogant laughter, the stone statue's eyes dimmed, and his voice stopped coming.
"Damn, I didn't expect him to come to such a hand!" Simon said hatefully, "There is no way, now we can only go to rescue our partners separately, and we can also go straight to the Yellow Dragon!"
Gray then said, "In that case, I'll go after Natsu, and you go the other way." That stupid guy, this is obviously a trap, and they all went straight into it, I don't worry about him alone, and when we solve the enemy in that passage later, we will come to you. With that, he ran towards the passage Natsu had entered, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"Ahhhh
"Hugh!" Elusa said to the crowd, "I'll go after Hugh, we'll take care of the enemies in this passage, you must be careful, if you meet Gerald, don't fight, wait for me to come!"
Now, there are only two passages left that no one has yet visited.
