Chapter Twenty-Six: Picking Up a Wendy
What he said to Elusa just now was not false, because the magic power used by Kaede Night was only at the level of the Ten Saint Magicians, and with Elusa's talent, it was not particularly difficult to reach the level of the Ten Saint Magicians.
After commenting on Elusa's magic, Kaede Ye looked up at the sky and left the guild for the southern part of the Fiore Kingdom.
"It's already started."
His gaze swept far away in the direction of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, and his eyes glowed with a pale golden luster, as if he had seen through everything in the past and the future.
And at this moment, somewhere in the royal capital of the Fiore Kingdom, a golden-haired Star Spirit Wizard was pouring his magic power into a strange gate in front of him.
A total of eleven keys were inserted into the door, which were the keys to the zodiac used by the Star Spirit Wizard, but the one for Aquarius was missing.
This gate is the Gate of the Eclipse Star Spirit built four hundred years ago, and its function is to open the passage of time, send the past to the future, or lead the past people to come, and the key to open this door is the Star Spirit Key of the Zodiac.
"Ahhh......hh
Due to the lack of a key, Layla, the star spirit wizard of the generation of the Hatfilia family, who has been guarding this door for four hundred years, has to fill the gap with her own magic.
Her magic is quite powerful, and she is also the best star spirit wizard of her time, so even when she was almost exhausted of her magic power, she was able to open the door to the Eclipse Star Spirit without a Star Spirit Key.
But.
Due to the lack of a key, the opened door was not stable enough, so that the moment the door was opened again, the magic power was sharply unstable, causing the first five figures to turn into five meteors in an instant, penetrating the ceiling, rushing out of the sky dome, and scattering all over the world.
Layla looked up at this scene with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she couldn't stop it from being consumed by her magic, and could only watch it happen.
"It's unbelievable that someone can really open the door that our kingdom has guarded for generations."
The king of the Fiore Kingdom stood not far away and watched this scene, with a slightly shocked look in his eyes.
Layla gasped slightly, but didn't reply.
And at this very time.
From the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate, another figure emerged, she looked almost identical to Layla's, both with blonde hair and seemingly about the same age.
She is the ancestor of the Star Spirit Wizard who entered the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate with the children of the Dragon Slayer Magus four hundred years ago, and she is also the ancestor of Layla, Anna Hatfilia!
"Here it is...... What age? ”
Anna, who walked out of the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate, looked around, and after roughly sensing the state of the magic factor in the air, she looked at Layla in front of her and asked.
Layla steadied her breathing, feeling that she had forcibly filled the missing key to the Aquarius Gate with her magic power, causing her body to suffer from a serious lack of mana, but after seeing Anna at this time, she temporarily ignored her physical condition and replied:
"It's x777."
"Four hundred years from now? That is, we succeeded. ”
Anna couldn't help but take a slight breath when she heard Layla's answer.
Building the Eclipse Gate to cross time and space was also something she wasn't sure would succeed in, as it was already a rule-breaking magic that broke the rules of the world.
At this time, Anna didn't notice the figure of Natsu and the other five dragon slayer wizards who came one step ahead of her, and couldn't help but be surprised, looked around, and said, "What about the children?" What about the five children who came with me? ”
The king of the Kingdom of Fiore said in a deep voice: "I don't know if it's five children, the moment the door opened, five rays of light flew out, and you can see that the ceiling was pierced." ”
"This ......"
Anna looked up at the five holes in the zenith, her gaze changing.
However, she quickly calmed down, because dragons such as the Fire Dragon King Igonillu and Grandini had sealed themselves in the bodies of the five dragon slayer wizards such as Natsu to protect them, and even if they flew around the world, they would not be easily in danger.
After all, the plan of the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate was jointly implemented by the Star Spirit Wizard, the Dark Wizard Jelf and the Dragon Clan, and a lot of problems were considered at the beginning.
Thinking of this,
Anna exhaled lightly, not in a hurry to find Natsu and the others, turned her head to look at Layla first, nodded and said, "I'm Anna Hatfilia, what about you?" ”
Layla: "......"
That is, when Anna and Layla began to communicate, Kaede Night, who had just left the Fairy Tail Guild, withdrew her gaze in the direction of the royal capital.
He was also very clear about the plan of the Eclipse Star Spirit, or he had known Anna four hundred years ago, and Anna had asked him about the magic of time and space.
The whole story goes like this.
Four hundred years ago, dragons ruled the world, but dragons were also divided into those close to humans and those hostile to humans, and the two sides were in constant confrontation with each other, because human magic was too insignificant for dragons, so humans could not help much in this confrontation.
As a result, dragons who were close to humans gave the dragon-killing magic, the magic that can kill dragons, to humans, and the dragon-slaying magicians were born.
At the right time.
Cursed by contradictions, Jelf wanted to commit suicide, so he maliciously guided one of the dragon slayer wizards into the darkness, allowing him to grow step by step, gaining supreme power, slaughtering countless dragons and becoming the dragon king as a human.
That's the black dragon Akuno Lokia!
But after this operation, Jelf found that even Akuno Lokia was unable to break the curse of contradiction and kill him.
It can be said that it is an operation as fierce as a tiger, and the record is zero bar five.
And what's even more troublesome is that after the birth of Akunolokia, even the dragons are not his opponents, let alone humans, although Gelf will not be killed, he is also unable to stop Akunolokia, making Akunolokia start to wreak havoc in that era.
Afterwards.
The remnants of the dragons close to humans, the Fire Dragon King Igoniraru and Jelf and others judged that it would be impossible to defeat Akuno Lokia in this era, so together with the Star Spirit Wizard Anna, they made a plan to send the fire of the Dragon Slayer Wizard to the future.
Defeat the black dragon Akuno Lokia in the future!
As a result, the Eclipse Gate was built, and Anna eventually escorted Natsu and her five children into the Eclipse Gate, and the time spanned four hundred years later.
As for Kaede Night's encounter with the Black Dragon, it was after the implementation of Anna and the others' plan, and after that, Kaede Night also began to study magic alone, so that the whole world is still developing according to its original trajectory.
Of course.
Maple Night wasn't actually interested in these tracks, including the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate, because he didn't need them at all to cross the past and the future at will.
Kaede Night was only interested in one thing, and that was the power of the mind, the power that could rise above the curse of contradictions, the abyss of the Demon Path, the magic of Ichi.
……
The southern part of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Somewhere in the middle of the jungle.
I could see a little girl with blue hair, only about five or six years old, wandering through the jungle, with a timid and weak gaze in her big eyes, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
"Grandini...... Where are you ......?"
She is one of the five dragon-slaying magicians sent four hundred years later, Wendy Mabel, the child of the Celestial Dragon Grantini.
Because Wendy, Natsu and others at this moment did not know the plan of the Eclipse Star Spirit, and they suddenly came to this era and were separated from Anna all over the world because the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate lacked the key to Aquarius and caused instability.
"Uh......h Don't scare me, Grantini......"
Wendy was exploring in the jungle while calling out Grantini's name, but Celestial Dragon Grantini, who usually received a response as long as he shouted, did not give her any response at this moment, as if he had completely disappeared.
Wendy, who couldn't find Grandini, had a frightened look in her big timid eyes and tears, but she could only resist the fear of searching in the jungle.
Every now and then she sees a little bit of light in the jungle, which makes her startle and tremble, as if there are countless wild beasts hiding in the jungle, ready to pounce at any moment.
The more she walked alone in the jungle, the stronger the fear in her heart became, and she was unconsciously cut by some sharp sword grass in the jungle.
Finally.
After walking a little further, she slipped into a bush, and when she poked her head out of the other side of the bush, she saw the first person she had met since Grantini's disappearance.
She was in a daze for a moment, then crawled out of the bushes a little dazed, remembering the way Grantini had taught her to greet her, and said weakly to the figure standing there:
"You...... Hello ......"
"Hello."
Kaede Ye looked at Wendy and smiled as she crawled out of the bushes.
Wendy is also one of the members of Fairy Tail under normal circumstances, and there is no problem guiding her to join Fairy Tail in advance, as for the other Natsu and Gajiru...... Well, they're all much older than Wendy, and they're already teenagers who can take care of themselves.
Wendy looked at Kaede weakly, and met Kaede's gaze, and what she saw on Kaede's face was a sunny look and a gentle gaze, which made the tension in her heart relax slightly, judging that Kaede Ye should be a friendly human.
"That's, that'...... Excuse me, do you know where Grantini is? ”
Wendy clasped her two small hands together, crossed her fingers, and asked cautiously at Kaede.
Feng Ye looked at her and smiled gently, and said, "You know, do you need me to help you find it?" ”
