Chapter 36: Lullaby, Warning and Tracking
The speed of the magic four-wheeler has been increased to a new level. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info its driver, Elusa, injected magic almost recklessly, hoping to catch up with Natsu's train as soon as possible, and then immediately drive to the nearest nearby town, and find a way to contact President Makarov and make them wary.
The four-wheeled car moved along the train tracks, and the yellow sand was turned over by the extremely fast rolling wheels. Elusa looked ahead, still nowhere to be seen. She became more and more uneasy, and finally she said, "Fuko, if you continue to chase the train like this, you may not have time to report it to the president, and I am very worried about that. ”
Fuko poked his head out of the carriage, glanced at her, and got up and sat down next to her. His face was barely open from the wind, and he said, "You're already very fast, but yes, you're right, it may be too late to go on like this, after all, we don't know where the Iron Forest is hiding now." ”
"So what should we do? We can't just give up on Natsu, but we can't just turn a blind eye to the threat they face! ”
"It's very simple, I have a proposal, we split the army. One goes to track down Natsu, and the other goes to the nearest town to contact the president. ”
"Good idea." Elusa thought for a moment and said, "Then let's split up." I'm going to drive this four-wheeler, so I need to chase Naz. But to get to nearby towns from here, you have to walk for hours if you don't have any transportation. Fuko, do you have a solution to this? ”
"Transportation?" Fuko grabbed Harpy, who was hiding behind his back, and held it in his hand, and said, "Isn't this our vehicle?" ”
"Love! The hobby is not a means of transportation, the hobby is your partner! The kitten in Fuko's hand was trying to argue.
"That's great!" Elusa was overjoyed, and she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then it's up to you to inform the president." After all, I'm not 100% sure that the goal of the Iron Forest is to grow them, so I can't assign more people to you. Let Harpy fly you around town. ”
Fu Kou was a little surprised, but nodded in agreement. He thought it would be Lucy who was sent out, but he didn't expect it to be himself.
After confirming the division of labor, Harpy stretched out his wings, grabbed Fuko's body and lifted him into the air, and flew with him, his movement speed was not much slower than that of a four-wheeler. They flew farther and farther until they could never see the train tracks and the four-wheeler again.
"Where's the nearest town, Harpy, you know what?" Because of the sound of the wind in his ears, Fuko had to raise his voice.
"Love! You know, Natsu and I went on a mission to pass through these places! It only takes ten minutes to fly to get there. Harpy said confidently.
"That's good!"
Harpy continued to fly with him, but suddenly he jerked up and down. Fuko was surprised and asked, "What's going on, Harpy, can't you fly?" ”
"No, it's just that I suddenly remembered something very important and forgot to tell Lucy."
"What's the matter?"
"I've been approached by a 'Virgo Star Spirit Ballosong' asking me to give her Star Spirit Key to Lucy, and she wants to make a contract with Lucy."
"Really? That can't be helped, after you go back to the guild, you can tell her again! Fuko said. He thought to himself, in this way, there are more and more Golden Star Spirit Keys in Lucy's hands, is this fate?
Sure enough, as Harpy said, they flew for about ten minutes before they saw a town. Instead of landing right away, they searched for a branch of the Council of Magic or a magic item shop. They found a magic shop first, and they landed in front of it.
Fuko buys a magic crystal from the shopkeeper, and the money he spends hurts his flesh. He didn't know Makarov's contact information, so he had to use the magic crystal to contact Miraj. Miraj's figure soon appeared in the crystal.
"Ah, when did Fuko buy a crystal and come to contact me?"
"Just now."
"Huh? You seem to have something very important, is your mission not going well? What happened? ”
"Do you have any way to contact President Makarov right away?"
"No, the president doesn't bring magic crystals with him during regular meetings, but I can contact him through the 'magic flying', it just takes a few hours."
"Okay, that's fine, you write everything I'm going to say in the letter and send it out at once." Later, Fukou told them what they had encountered and his own speculations.
Miraj also realized the seriousness of the matter, and stopped joking with Fuko, she said, "Okay, I've written it all down, and now I'll send the letter immediately." But I'm worried that it's too late, I'll tell you the location of the regular guild, you can rush over. ”
After turning off the magic crystal, Harpy said to Fuko, "I know where Miraj said, so let's fly over now." ”
"Is your stamina okay?"
"Love! No problem at all. ”
"Okay, then we'll fly over now. It's been a busy day. ”
So they took off again, and soon left the town behind. Then their vision became more and more desolate, and they were traversing a large canyon area. Below them is the second half of the train tracks.
"It's the only shortcut to that town," Harpy said. Fuko believed it.
As they were galloping, Harpy suddenly said, "What bird can fly so much faster than I do?" ”
"There is no such thing as a bird in this world, unless it can also do magic."
"But why can't I catch up with the bird in front of me anyway?"
Fuko looked up in surprise, and he looked ahead and saw a black dot. Indeed, Harpy flew so fast that he couldn't catch up with the black dot, so Fuko said, "That's not a bird, that's a man who can fly magic." ”
"Huh?" Harpy was surprised.
Fuko pondered. He knew that if he tracked that person forward, he would probably get closer and closer to "Iron Forest" and "Lullaby", and he had such a hunch. But is he really going to chase after him? He doesn't have the strength of Elusa, and he doesn't have the indomitable fighting spirit of Natsu, if the other party is a fierce opponent, does he have any advantage at all?
At that moment, the black dot fell and came to rest on a rising peak.
Harpy said uneasily, "Fuko, is he waiting for us?" ”
"Yes," said Fuko, "he found us. He said to himself in his heart, maybe my advantage is that I have no choice but to do my best to save my life, right?
He glanced up at Harpy, and added in his heart that maybe the cat's life was still alive.
