Chapter 2: The Witch of the Phoenix

On the vast wilderness.

There is hardly any vegetation to be seen here, and the whole world is desolate as far as the eye can see.

And at this time, a ripple like a ripple pattern suddenly appeared in the space, and then a huge figure appeared on the wilderness, which was the maple night that entered the main world.

The world of Fairy Tail is a world of magic, with a variety of magic, and these magic is one of the power systems possessed by the creator god Kaos.

The next thing Kaede Ye has to do is also very simple, that is, to learn magic, start from the basics and then work backwards step by step, until he completely grasps this power system and changes it into one of his own powers, so that he can use it to extract the power of Kaos, replace it, and get the power of the hundred stars.

"Hmm...... This one is a little bigger. ”

Kaede Ye looked at it, and after a little thought, the huge body disappeared silently, and was replaced by a figure about the same height as a normal person appeared directly below.

It's not that the body is shrinking, and now he can't shrink the body to the size of a normal human, but this kind of thing won't bother him, just make the body transparent for a while, and then use the light to reflect a projection of the body.

"If you want to learn magic, you have to read a book first."

Kaede Ye put his finger on his chin with a thoughtful look, so the first thing he had to do next was to read all the magic books.

He is also very familiar with the world of Fairy Tail, at this time he is located in Ishgar, one of the three continents, and the timeline is about X400 years ago, and there are still nearly three hundred years before the birth of the Fairy Tail Guild.

The reason for this certainty is simple.

A cursory glance reveals dragons all over the world.

Before the birth of dragon-destroying magic, human magic could not compete with dragons no matter how strong it was, so the whole world was ruled by dragons, and humans were just playthings that dragons trampled on.

It wasn't until the birth of the dragon-slaying magic that a human named Akuno Lokia cultivated the dragon-slaying magic to its peak, almost slaughtering the dragons, and becoming the king of dragons with a human body, which was considered to have completely ended the era of dragons' rule.

That incident has not yet occurred.

"Huh?"

Just as Kaede Night glanced at the continent of Ishgar, he suddenly looked in a certain direction on his left.

In the canyon in that direction, you can see a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old wearing a red witch costume walking along the Gobi in a daze.

She walked barefoot in a canyon full of sharp stones, and the soles of her feet were quickly cut with many wounds, making her make a painful sound, and then stopped.

Bizarrely.

As soon as she sat down, she could see that the wounds on her feet were quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood that had been flowing on the ground disappeared silently.

The girl sat in the canyon with her knees crossed, the corners of her lips showing signs of dryness, and she lowered her gaze, as if she was immersed in negativity, and her stomach rumbled unconsciously.

That's when it happened.

She was suddenly startled, she smelled the smell of barbecue, which passed in the direction of the canyon, she couldn't help but get up and take a few steps forward, and after going around a rock, she saw a figure and a bonfire appear in the canyon at some point.

Kaede sat in front of the bonfire, holding a firebird that had just fallen from the sky in his hand, and roasted it leisurely on the bonfire.

Grunt.

The girl looked at this scene, and her stomach made a gurgling sound again, so that she couldn't help but stand there, looking directly at the bird of the maple night with a somewhat daze gaze.

Kaede Ye slowly roasted the firebird on the bonfire, glanced in the direction of the girl, showed a faint smile, picked up the firebird in his hand and beckoned to her.

Seeing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Kaede.

Kaede Ye tore off a piece of baked part and handed it to her.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

The girl reached out and took it, and then gave Kaede a little grateful look.

Kaede Ye continued to bake the rest of the part, looked at her, and asked casually, "What's your name?" ”

"Ekrea."

Acryra gently chewed down on a piece of roast meat and whispered in response.

Hearing Akreya's answer, Kaede Ye didn't show any surprise, the scene of the girl's foot injury and quiet recovery just now had already made him anticipate it, although he didn't directly read the girl's heart, but he also roughly guessed her identity.

The shrine maiden of the phoenix, a girl who drank the tears shed when the phoenix was sealed and obtained the immortal body, also lost her memories of the past.

At this point in time, it should have only been long since this happened.

I have to say that the world at this point in time when the plot was born four hundred years ago was quite exciting, with the cursed strongest black mage Jelf, the birth of the black dragon king Akuno Lokia, the witch of the phoenix, and the light and dark conversion magic 'Nirvana' and so on.

After all, it is now a world ruled by the dragon clan, and there must be many powerful beings who can survive in such a grim world.

But.

The word strong has nothing to do with Echora, who has been given eternal life, but she is not Jelf and knows nothing about magic.

However, the phoenix before it was sealed can indeed be called powerful, and it is one of the few beings in this world who has the magic power comparable to a dragon and can fight against dragons.

It's worth a little research, too.

After all, it is also a relatively strong life born based on Kaos.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

It seemed that because she hadn't drunk water for a long time, Acryra swallowed a few mouthfuls of barbecue before she looked choked, frowning tightly and trying to swallow.

Kaede gathered her thoughts, looked at her, raised her left hand and picked up a stone, and when she lifted it up to Ekreya, the stone in his hand had changed into a water glass, and inside the cup was a glass of clear liquid.

Seeing this, Aclea didn't care about thanking Kaede Ye anymore, so she quickly took the water cup and took a few sips to make her dry throat moist again.

Immortality can only make her immortal, but thirst and hunger cannot be quenched.

Seeing that the girl had drunk all the water and regained some of her vitality, Kaede Ye asked her casually, "Why are you here alone?" ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Aclea looked down at the partially eaten barbecue and whispered, "I seem to have lost my memories of the past, and I don't remember much except my name." ”

Feng Ye said calmly: "That should be the influence of the power of the phoenix." ”

Akleia was slightly stunned, vaguely feeling that the words spoken by Feng Ye were a little familiar, but she couldn't remember them, her brows tightened for a while, and she said, "Feng ...... The power of the phoenix? ”

"Hmm."

Kaede Ye spoke calmly, and then pointed at the girl.

Although he didn't know much about the power system of magic, he knew too much about the soul and memory, and it was not difficult to recover the memories that Ekrea had lost due to the influence of the Phoenix's power.

Airplanes!!

The white light overflowed in Kaede's fingertips and shot into the girl's eyebrows, causing the girl's body to tense and freeze all of a sudden.

Her eyes widened slightly, and in her originally empty mind, a large number of memories of the past began to emerge one by one, from the Fire Village did her best to seal the phoenix, to the fact that she became the witch of the Fire Village, to the Fire Village being attacked, and the village chief gave her the Phoenix Tears to drink before he died.

All the memories came back to her mind one by one.

The lost memory returned in an instant, and after a shudder, the roast in her hand fell to the ground, and she also sat down, her hands on the ground and gasping violently, a large amount of fine sweat overflowing from her forehead.

Thinking that all the villagers of the Fire Village had been killed, she first showed a painful look on her face, but then she bit her lip and raised her hand to hold a pendant on her chest.

That's half a phoenix stone.

Because the phoenix has the property of being reborn from the fire and cannot be killed, the village of fire can only seal the phoenix in the phoenix stone and then divide it into two, half of which is taken away by someone, and the other half is with her.

After a few minutes, Ekla, who had sorted everything out clearly, gradually recovered, she took a deep breath, bowed her head at Kaede, and said:

"Thank you for your help."

If Kaede hadn't awakened her memories, I'm afraid she would have been like this forever, and she wouldn't have remembered that she had been on a mission to send the Phoenix Stone to her father's Magic Research Institute in the Bauerntari Forest.

After thanking Kaede, she stood up and prepared to walk into the distance.

"Where are you going?"

Kaede Ye looked at her and asked casually.

Acryra hesitated for a moment, thinking that she shouldn't be able to tell anyone else casually about the phoenix, so she hesitated and said, "I have a place to go......"

Feng Ye smiled lightly and said, "It's to send the Phoenix Stone to your father's magic research institute, I know what you're going to do, but don't you plan to eat first before you leave?" ”

Aclea was stunned for a moment, holding the half of the phoenix stone pendant on her chest with both hands, her expression became a little nervous, and said, "How do you know?" ”

Feng Ye didn't answer, but showed a thoughtful look, his eyes glowed with a pale golden luster, as if he was browsing something, and then said:

"Your father has developed the magic to kill the phoenix, but he suffered from a severe mana deficiency and died a few years ago."

“……”

Aclea was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously threw herself at Kaede Night, grabbed Kaede Night's collar with both hands, and said, "No, you lied to people......

Kaede Ye looked at her calmly, her eyes glowing with a pale golden glow.

Ekrea and Kaede looked at each other for a moment, and then a large number of images appeared in front of her eyes, which were small fragments of Kaede Night's previous reading of history.

"This, that's not true...... It's not really ......"

Eclaria's eyes lost their look, and she let go of her hand, shaking her head as she staggered back, and after taking two steps back, she fell to the ground as if she had lost her strength.

Kaede Ye looked at her a few more times.

This time, instead of a cursory observation, he used the Vision of God, looking through her clothes and looking into her body, and observing the phoenix power flowing in her body in a little detail.

Everything in this world is born based on magic, and the power of the phoenix is undoubtedly a type of magic, and it is a relatively rare type of undead magic.

Moreover.

Because the power level of the phoenix is also one of the top in this world, the magic level contained in the power of the phoenix is also very high, and even it took a while for Kaede Ye to roughly gain a clear insight into its essence and reveal a thoughtful look.

It was almost when Maple Night analyzed the power of the phoenix that Ekreya's side finally recovered from her grief.

She wiped away her tears and looked strong.

Even if her father dies, she still has to fulfill her mission as a shrine maiden, which is to never let the phoenix appear again!

Akrea bit her lip, looked at Kaede Ye, and said, "I was a little too excited just now, I'm very sorry, but you just said ...... My father had already figured out the magic to kill the phoenix...... Where is that magic now? ”

Kaede Ye shouldn't be a bad person, otherwise there is no need to tell her this, because Kaede Ye is obviously a magician, and she is just an ordinary person, even if she has an immortal body, it is impossible to resist Kaede Ye, and Kaede Ye also knows about her father.

"Probably in the Council of Magic."

The luster in Kaede's eyes converged, and she looked at Ekreya's easy-going opening, and said, "Are you trying to find that magic and then kill the phoenix?" ”

Aklea held the half of the phoenix stone pendant on her chest, nodded with a strong gaze, and said, "I want to complete my mission as a shrine maiden." ”

Half of the phoenix stone was taken away, and she didn't protect the half of the strength that was not taken away, once it was discovered and taken away, the phoenix might be resurrected.

The task given to her by the elders of the Fire Village before they died was to ask her to bring this half of the phoenix stone to her father, and now that her father is dead, he has also researched the magic to kill the phoenix, so to make the phoenix disappear completely, the only way to find that magic is to kill the phoenix!

Kaede Ye looked at her and said, "You drank the tears of the phoenix, life is connected to the phoenix, and the immortal body is also the influence of the power of the phoenix, if you use the magic that your father studied to kill the phoenix, then you who are connected to the life of the phoenix will also die." ”

"Even so, are you going to do that?"

Speaking of which.

Kaede stood up and looked at Ekrea with a calm expression.

Eklaya's small hand holding the Phoenix Stone couldn't help but tighten, she didn't doubt the authenticity of what Kaede Ye said, because there was no need to deceive her.

She bit her lip and finally took a deep breath and said with a resolute gaze, "Even then, I'm going to do it, that's my mission, please tell me how to get to the Magic Council!" ”

Kaede Ye looked at the firm-eyed Akreya, smiled lightly, then stretched out his hand to her, took half of the phoenix stone from her hand, and said:

"It is a commendable will to dare to face death for the sake of the mission."

"No need to go to the Magic Council."

"I'm right here...... Help you kill that phoenix. ”
