Orange flames swayed from the arched red-brick fireplace, as if fine silk had been torn from a dusty chimney. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe warmth flooded the room like a stream of water.

Wearing a clown hat and a diminutive stature, Makarov sat cross-legged in a corner of a desk full of papers. His wrinkled face was now drooping with seriousness, his withered fingers clasped together on his knees. He coughed a few times and said, "Miraj, is there any news from that guy Gray?"

"No, President. Miraj wore the white bangs on his forehead as always, revealing a smooth forehead. She wore a purple off-the-shoulder evening dress, which was quite charming. She now folded her hands on her abdomen and stood calmly in front of Makarov.

Makarov frowned slightly angrily and slammed the tabletop hard. He said, "I knew I shouldn't have trusted that kid. Despite his calm and serious appearance, he is essentially a hopeless fool like Natsu. If I had known this, I would have forced that kid from Laxus to do it anyway......"

"Laxus also has its own job. Besides, even if we can't reach Gray, or help them, we can contact Elusa. With Alusa here, I'm sure they'll all be willing to be obedient. Miraj replied with a smile.

When Makarov heard this, he sighed instead. He said, "There is nothing wrong with that, and only Elusa can subdue them. It's just that now that Elusa has rushed over, they should have arrived at [Karna Island]. He paused, then added, "Speaking of Fuko, he was so unexpected, I could never have imagined that he would mess around with Natsu and the others." ”

"I think I might know why. Miraj said jokingly, "He seems to be old-fashioned, but he is very greedy for money, and he has done almost everything to turn the book house into a profit." ”

"Oh, is it?" said Makarov, smiling at Miraj's words, "I didn't expect that. However, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he continued, "If that's the case, maybe his bookstore loss has something to do with that man......"

"Which man?" Miraj blinked his wide, shrewd eyes.

Makarov didn't intend to hide it from Miraj, he said honestly: "It's Lucy's father, he is a wealthy merchant in the [Fiore Kingdom], he didn't fall for a while ago, and now he is making a comeback. He had some festive relations with Fukou, and it should be that he was secretly stumbling on Fukou. In addition, he also coerced and enticed me to help him and deal with Fukou together, but of course I didn't agree. ”

"How could it be...... Surprised, Miraj covered his mouth with his hand.

"It seems that Fukou is really a 'thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh' for many people. The Spectral Dominator, Gyud Hatfilia, and some members of the Council of Magic, they were all staring at him, waiting for him to make a mistake. ”

"Why are there any members of the Magical Council?"

"It's very simple, you've noticed, Fuko's magic is almost increasing at a rapid rate, I've never seen such an amazing increase in all these years. Makarov said in a heavy tone, "There is a very prominent difference between [Light Magic] and [Dark Magic], that is, the magic power of [Dark Magic] increases much faster than [Light Magic], because they often use extreme ways to hurt others or hurt themselves, which is forbidden. The speed at which Fuko's mana increases has been questioned by members of the Magic Council, who suspect that Fuko may be a Dark Wizard or at least have been in contact with a Dark Wizard. ”

"How is this possible?" said Mi......raj, halfway through Miraj's words, she herself was a little skeptical. Because she also understands that no matter how talented she is in magic, it is impossible to improve her magic much more than someone else in a year in a few months. If he used to hide his strength, but now she has watched him become stronger, how can this be explained?

"We don't have to worry too much, maybe there is another way to help him, as long as there is no evidence, the people of the [Magic Council] will not be able to help him. Makarov said, "What's more, [dark magic] is not inaccessible to others. For example, Joseph Bora, who is now the Ten Saints. As long as Fu Ko does not use cruel means, [Dark Magic] is nothing more than [Dark Magic], and it does not represent anything. ”

Miraj knew that Makarov was comforting herself, and she didn't have the heart to think about why the person he was comforting was her, not Fuko, and she could only pray silently in her heart now, hoping that Fuko was not practicing [dark magic].

Although there is some truth in Makarov's words, the premise that [Dark Magic] is accepted is that the method of increasing magic power is to obtain magic power by destroying evil creatures such as demons, and at the same time, the improvement of magic power will not be much faster than that of [Light Magic].

In other words, if Fuko really practiced [Dark Magic], judging from his speed, it must not be [Dark Magic] within the allowed range of [Light Magic Realm].

On the other side, in the [Karna Island] on the sea, in an underground ruins overgrown with weeds and caves, three people and a cat are walking along the slippery stone wall.

"According to the villagers, the root cause of their ghostly appearance is around here. Gray said. He thought he would never forget the strange scene of the villagers mutating in the moonlight.

According to the patriarch, they were all ordinary humans before. The island is also a great place to live. But one day, the moon turned blood-red, and their bodies began to mutate, and part of the demon's torso appeared on their bodies, just like the boatman.

As he said this, the moon turned blood-red, and the people of the village, men, women, and children, all became half-demons and half-humans.

The patriarch said that if someone in the village completely turned into a demon, they had to choose to kill them, or they would harm the villagers. His son also died because of this.

I've seen a photo of the patriarch's son, and it shows a man who looks exactly like the ship's owner. At this moment, Fukou and the others all understood a lot of things.

It's really a ghost!

The patriarch and the villagers were commissioned to be simple and straightforward: "We want you to destroy this moon!" and they thought it was the moon's fault that it was the way it was.

There is no way they are actually going to destroy the moon, except that Natsu is really preparing how to destroy the moon, and others with common sense are already looking for other ways. Later, they chose to come to what the villagers called suspicious underground ruins.

At the end of the road, they came to a wide space.

At this moment, Gray suddenly looked ahead in surprise, and said in a tone of disbelief, "How is it possible? How is it possible?"
