What is it that has brought things to such an unmanageable point?

Is it my stupidity?

When Princess Emerald came to her senses and realized that she had once again done something that could cause disaster to everyone here, she fell to her knees and threw the ring that controlled her consciousness from the ground despite the pain in her fingers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She burst into tears.

Why? Mardo, why are you deceiving me?

Eight years ago, while hunting outside the city, she unexpectedly met the then destitute "Shogboi" - now that I think about it, not only his name is fake, but also his condition at the time is fake - which is now "Mardo". She couldn't bear to see this man die in the wilderness, so she took him back to the city and took good care of him.

After that, she and Mardo met only a few times, and they were deeply impressed by Maldo's good conversation and knowledge. Gradually, she realized that this man must be an outstanding person in the future and hoped to be able to recommend him to her father.

However, Mardo rejected the princess's recommendation and bid her farewell, wanting to see more elsewhere. After months of reluctance to say goodbye to the princess, before the princess's birthday dinner, the man returned, this time neatly dressed, not the same person at all as he had been months before, but he became more interesting.

Mardo began to tell the princess about his adventures outside, and his honesty, wisdom and bravery made the princess yearn for and admire. This time, the princess decided that she must keep him, and she again offered to recommend him to her father.

Maldo doesn't seem to care if he has power, and he doesn't care if his wisdom can be used to build the kingdom, and once again he refuses the princess's help. Only this time, before he left, he analyzed the pros and cons of all aspects of the kingdom for the princess, including mentioning the kingdom's control over the magic world.

"With all due respect, my dear princess." Jade wanted his charming tone and polite manners. "I think the kingdom's control over the wizarding world is too poor. I've heard that the wizarding world is now divided into two factions, light and darkness, and that the light is ruled by the Magic Council, which can issue orders directly without the king's consent, and has great power. And the darkness is not to mention, its own existence is anti-kingdom, and among them, there is a dark alliance such as the Balaam League. The struggle between light and darkness is completely irreconcilable, and if it continues, the kingdom will fall into disaster because of their strife. ”

Emerald often listened to him give his own unique opinions on certain kingdom issues, and this time she listened as well.

"And I know that the division of the wizarding world into two parts, and the kingdom having to delegate power to the Magic Council, is the source of everything that is the legendary Dark Wizard Jelf. It can be said that if he did not exist, then many things would not have happened. ”

"But Jelph is a man from four hundred years ago, he is history, and we can't do anything?" Jade asked curiously.

Maldo pondered for a long time, looking to both sides mysteriously. The princess understood, and she asked the surrounding guards to leave. Then the man said, "Princess, maybe you haven't heard of the 'Eclipse Gate'......"

He gave the princess a rough description of the Eclipse Gate and the initial idea of the Eclipse Plan.

"There is such an amazing thing in the world...... No one had ever thought of using it before...... "Jade was surprised.

"It's also normal. The first is that the risks associated with using it are too high, and the Eclipse Gate would not have been used if it were not for some very great purpose. Second, few people know exactly where it is. Princess, you don't have to look at me, I don't know. Well, my dear princess, it's late at night, I need to go, and I look forward to seeing you next time. ”

The princess was very reluctant, but she couldn't force her to keep him, so she could only watch him leave. He is like the prince of the night, who only appears after dusk and leaves before dawn.

After that, the princess did not see Maldo again for a long time, and received only a few letters from him. However, this is very satisfying for Jade who has fallen in love.

Yes, she herself realized that she was in love with this mysterious man.

The next time I saw him, it was after the incident on Sirius Island.

There are many theories about Sirius Island and the disappearance of Fairy Tail, and there are always different versions. But neither of these two facts can be erased. First, the black dragon is active again, and its roar is enough to easily destroy an island. Second, the Dark Wizard Gerf did not die, he lived for more than four hundred years like the Black Dragon.

These two events were enough to send the royal family and the entire kingdom into a panic.

Emerald is also worried, if Jelf and the Black Dragon attack the kingdom together, who will be able to stop them at that time?

At this time, Maldo reappeared, this time a little dusty, and took the initiative to tell her about Jelf and the Black Dragon.

"My dear princess, after hearing about the events of Sirius Island, I knew that the kingdom had fallen in, or would be, in a terrible situation. I am responsible for you, and I don't want you to be hurt in the slightest. So I rushed back. Maybe you remember what I said about the 'Eclipse Gate' and I found it......"

Mardo explained to the princess what the Eclipse Plan was all about, and this time it was much more solid than the last. He wanted to be able to bring the Eclipse Gate to the royal family immediately, but needed the Emerald to pave the way.

Princess Emerald agreed, feeling that her sweetheart's plans and ideas were undoubtedly needed for the kingdom now. She informed her father of the "Eclipse Project".

The king was silent at first, then let her go. The next day, he decided to have Mardo secretly bring the Eclipse Gate and carry out the Eclipse Plan, which he entrusted to Artikaios, the head of the Sakura Knights, and he personally hosted the Great Demon Battle.

The Emerald Princess was glad that her father's sudden change of mind was due to the spell of Serra's "order", and that she was single-mindedly convinced that Maldo's opinion had been accepted.

In order to carry out the eclipse plan, Maldo needs to return to the royal city often, which also makes the princess happy. However, Mardo was still reluctant to accept any of the official positions offered by the king, believing that his status as a commoner would be more conducive to the Eclipse project.

Gradually, seven years of getting along, instead of making Jade lose interest in him, made her love him even more, and she already recognized him as her lifelong partner.

And one rainy night, Maldo also proposed to her.

"I know that it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person like me to marry a character like you, the princess. But hear my humble wish once, my princess, and marry me. ”

The princess was defenseless...... But she magically agreed, and put on the ring that Maldo had given her. The ring was magically unleashed, and only Mardo and the princess could see it, so they didn't need to worry about their private life being discovered.

The princess even thought that one day he would elope with him, and she would do too.

However, all of this was shattered by the cold reality in front of him. For eight years, this man spent a full eight years pleasing her and making her pour out his heart and lungs for him, but at this moment he used her and kicked her away.

The tears on Jade's face blurred everything in front of her.

Mardo stood in front of the Eclipse Gate, a quaint and heavy gate with countless magic circles on it. Silver and Francmars were defending him against the magicians who wanted to haunt him, and they wouldn't be able to get into this place for a while.

He always knew that what he gave out back then would come back to him sooner or later.

In fact, he had already gotten the Eclipse Gate eight years earlier. Then he knew that he had one more means to accomplish the ultimate goal of the Gates of Hades.

The great Jerph hoped that the demon of his own creation would kill him. Maldo is honored to be able to fulfill this mission.

He only needs to travel through the Eclipse Gate to the past to kill Gerf, who was not strong enough at that time, and how can he care about what kind of historical changes that will bring? He knew very well that as long as he killed Jelf of that era, then these demons would no longer exist, but the urgent desire to complete the mission made him and the Nine Ghost Sects crazy, not afraid of life and death.

It's just that the conditions for opening the eclipse gate are too harsh.

First, it requires a lot of Light Magus' mana as a power source.

Second, you need the star spirit key of the zodiac.

So, he planned this real eclipse plan that spanned eight years, playing with the entire kingdom in the palm of his hand.

Not long ago, when the plan had been discovered and the kingdom had begun to resist, he was going to give up, he didn't care if the plan failed once or twice, he still had a long life to live anyway.

Only, he just saw Jelf.

He meets Jelf, whom he thinks about day and night!

No, this project can't end there...... Countless crazy thoughts swirled in his mind, and he would never tolerate his defeat before the Great Creator!

So, he turned back and used the island of the underworld to make a noise.

Now, with only one step away from that great goal, he let out a deep sigh and laughed maniacally, inserting the twelve zodiac keys in his hand into the door, ready to open it.

However, at this time, the temperature of the underground palace dropped below zero, and the Eclipse Gate was covered with a thick layer of frost, and the temperature continued to drop, and Mardo was frozen into ice in an instant.

"Come to think of it, I'd better stop you, Maldo."

Putting aside Franmars' silver, he quietly broke in. He reached out and took one of the twelve keys and hid it in his clothes.

However, the ice on Maldo's body was quickly unraveled. He stared coldly at Silver.

"Are you going to betray me at this time? Silver? For your son who doesn't know anything? ”

At this time, a group of people also poured in outside.

Franmars was finally defeated, but it was not only the king, the princess, the Speaker of the Qur'an, Ajma, and the members of the Black Dragon Hunters, but also Gray, Lucy, Meester, Rahal, and Snownay.

"Hold it back, Maldo, Silver!" Gray, who had recovered a little, shouted.
