Chapter 144 - Adras Chapter - Long Distance and Demon War Troops
The turmoil in the carriage woke Lucy up, and she felt sore all over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She noticed herself curled up on the bench, and the Fuko who had been sitting next to her was long gone. She rubbed her eyes and got up, yawned, and looked at the others in the carriage.
Wendy and Xia Lulu hugged each other, and neither of them had woken up yet, but judging by their frowning brows, they didn't sleep well. Harpy lay on his side with a big grin, snoring and sleeping. Natsu, on the other hand, was lying directly on the wooden planks of the carriage, her head sticking out of the curtain of the carriage, motionless, as if she was dead.
He should ...... Not dead yet, right?
Lucy kicked Natsu in the thigh with her toes, and Natsu immediately twitched a few times before she was relieved.
Then she lifted the curtain to see Fuko driving the carriage and Natsu's head sticking out. The sun was already rising quite high outside, and it seemed to be eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
"Are you awake, Lucy, are you sleeping well?" he asked, smiling, when he heard the voice, and turned around to see that it was Lucy.
"Well, that's good. Lucy sat down beside him, her long legs swinging in the air, and she asked curiously, "I don't care about my business, I want to know where our groom is, why did you wake up one night and you were driving the carriage?"
"Ah, in fact, he was driving the carriage until dawn. Fuko replied simply, "Then I felt that he was no longer useful, so I kicked him out of the car." ”
"Eh, even though you spoke as if nothing had happened, I could tell that there was a lot of information in it. ”
"Actually, you can't blame me for being ruthless, but the groom was a little greedy, and when he saw that we had money and two men and two women were traveling, he planned to rob our goods with his companion who was ambushing us on the way, and dragged you two women into the grass by the way. At that time, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up, but settled them with Natsu, and then asked the groom to help us drive the carriage for a while or something, after all, I also need to rest. ”
"Eh, I always feel like I've had a terrible night for some reason, and how can a beautiful girl like Wendy and me be by the way...... So what's going on with Natsu?"
"Oh, because the carriage was going again, and he was about to vomit in the carriage, I dragged him out and let the food in his stomach return to the earth or something. ”
"Do you sometimes think you're scary? ”
"No, why do you say that?"
"You don't even realize that, that's why Natsu is so pathetic. ”
The carriage stopped at a small lake, and Lucy woke Wendy and the others went to the lake to wash up briefly. Fuko first threw Natsu into the lake, then told Harpy to watch him not to drown, and went upstream to wash his face so that he could sober himself.
Now, there are still three days left before the royal capital publicly dismantles the magic crystal. He looked at the map and was in a bad mood, although the speed of the carriage was fast enough, it seemed too reluctant to reach the royal capital in three days.
After breakfast, Lucy asked Fuko to rest in the carriage, leaving it to Wendy and herself to continue reading the map and driving the carriage. Fuko couldn't refuse her offer, so he honestly went to the carriage. So their carriage went on again. A few hours later, they arrived in a second town.
This time, Fuko and Lucy went to the town to resupply, and Natsu and the others stayed in the wagon to look after their belongings. The two of them moved very quickly this time, who knew how quickly a person like them wearing masks and veils would attract the attention of the king, the kingdom and the army?
After they had prepared their supplies, they were about to return the way they came, when an accident happened.
All the pedestrians on the road suddenly avoided both sides, and made way for a group of knights in full armor to march, and they had to wait until all the knights had walked to the other side of the street.
They mingled in the crowd and watched as the Knights rode majestically on strange four-legged lizards. After that, presumably the figure of their leader appeared, a female knight with long crimson hair braided and riding a strange-looking wyvern.
"Ai ......"
Fuko quickly covered Lucy's mouth next to her, lest she openly shout the name "Elusa" here. Lucy soon realized that this Elusa riding on the Wyvern was not Elusa from Aslant, but Elusa from Adras.
Elusa Knightwerka stared ahead as she rode her own wyvern, her weapon, a magic spear, stuck in the leather armor behind her back. All she was thinking about now was how to explain to King Faust about the failure of this crusade against the remnants of "Fairy Tail" after returning to the royal capital.
She didn't notice that in the crowd next to her, two strange and suspicious people were watching her.
Lucy whispered to Fuko, "I didn't expect it to look so similar, just like me and Lucy of Adras." I almost ran out to meet her, but luckily you stopped me. By the way, how did you tell the two of them?"
"Do you need to tell the difference?" said Fuko, "First of all, Elusa is now a magic crystal, waiting for someone to dismantle her. Plus, our Elusa wouldn't take off her silver armor that she had never changed, or that she had never changed. In the end, although she is very powerful, she is unlikely to be so powerful that she will become the leader of the king, country, army, and team in just a few days. ”
"Didn't you tell the reason in a serious way? ”
"Anyway, this woman is one of the enemies we will face in the future. We'd better be prepared to make sure we've separated her from our Elusa. ”
"I don't really want to be her enemy if I could, because she looks as strong as our Elusa. ”
"Again, it would be nice if our Lucy could be as reliable as Lucy from Adras. ”
"Ha, you told the truth, I'm really sorry that I'm unreliable!"
After the Knights of the Demon War Force left, Lucy followed behind Fuko angrily, obviously she had lost the quarrel just now, which was also normal, and it was a strange thing for her to be able to say that Fukou was extremely vicious.
And they were all gathered together in the wagon. Lucy tells Natsu and Wendy what happened, and proposes to wait for the Knights to leave the town before they leave, but Fuko objectes.
"We should follow them directly, there are demon troops to open the way for us, and it will be much safer along the way, as long as we are careful not to be detected by them, so we can't follow too closely. Harpy, it's up to you to scout their path along the way, and now you have to play an important role, which is something I can't even do, think about it, what our Xia Lulu will think of you, it's a little ...... to think about"
"Love, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it!" said before he could finish his sentence, and Harpy interjected, and he could see that he was very happy.
So, this somewhat crazy thing was decided.
"Then you should rest first, and I will confirm when they will depart. ”
However, this confirmation confirmed that something was wrong. Fu Ko didn't expect to see a huge spaceship in the place where this group of Demon War Force Knights was stationed, and for a moment he thought that he was wrong.
"Such a large steel monster is even more powerful than the 'Magic Crit Boat Christina', and it seems that the plan of chasing after the carriage is completely unworkable. Fu Ko said in his heart, "I didn't expect that although their magic level is very backward, they have improved to this extent in terms of equipment. ”
Then he saw Elusa Knightwerka again, carefully hiding behind the trunk of the tree and peeping.
This time, instead of riding on the Strange Wyvern, she carried her spear and patrolled around the perimeter of the garrison. In fact, there was no need to patrol because Adras no longer had a group capable of raiding their demon forces, but her duty as the captain made her do so.
"Is this the rumored 'fairy hunting' of the magician who killed many 'fairy tails'?" Fuko observed her silently.
After that, he brought the bad news that they couldn't catch up with a spaceship. Harpy was frustrated, but Lucy, Wendy, and Charlotte were visibly relieved that they didn't approve of Fuko's risky actions.
At this time, Fu Kou proposed another plan, he said: "Without the Demon War troops to open the way, we can only advance on our own, but now this carriage is too slow to reach the royal capital in three days, we have to change to a faster means of transportation." ”
"That being said, but where does the money come from?, is the money Lisanna gave us enough?" asked Lucy suspiciously.
"That's our living expenses on the road, and we can't use them casually. He said, "Don't worry, I've already figured out how to get the money." We can sell the carriage, and with the money that the friendly group of Adrass's grooms sent me last night should be enough to rent a driver and his magic four-wheeler for two or three days. ”
"Eh, you guy, you robbed them in turn!"
So, they sold the carriage, but the money they had gathered seemed to be too small, and the drivers of the town's magic four-wheeled vehicles were reluctant to take them to the royal capital. Just as they were about to give up, Fuko noticed another magic four-wheeler driving into the area and stopping on the side of the road, so he stepped forward to ask.
He knocked on the car door and asked, "The driver inside, can you come out and discuss something?"
"Huh?" a man poked his head out, looked at the masked Fuko, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything wrong?"
Fuko thinks that Adras is really too small, and he actually meets Natsu of Adras here!
