Chapter 38: The Heart of the Devil
Riding in the magic guide four-wheel drive, Lu Ning and Elusa and their group quickly left Magnolia Town and headed in the direction of Castle City.
Originally, Elusa should not have taken an S-level mission to do it with Natsu and others at this time, but would take an ordinary mission, but now because of Lu Ning, it has been changed to an S-level mission, which is equivalent to a shift in the plot.
However, this part of the offset did not allow Lu Ning to receive any side quests, and I don't know if it has not yet reached the trigger standard, or if there are no side quests in this part that can be triggered.
Inside the car.
Lucy was huddled with Lu Ning, and with the bumps of the magic four-wheel drive, they staggered from time to time, bumping into Lu Ning's direction.
Lu Ning sat very steadily with the help of Chakra, as if he was connected to the magic guide four-wheel drive, and he didn't move at all even if he was bumped up and down.
"It's a little too crowded, isn't it...... And then again, why put Natsu on the roof of the car......"
After Lucy bumped into Lu Ning again, her chest was deformed, and she couldn't help but complain with a dishful face.
Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, wherever he sits, he gets motion sickness, the roof and the inside of the car are the same, it's better to go up there and make some room." β
A magic guide four-wheel drive car is a four-seater, and Harpy can still squeeze into it, but if you want to squeeze one more person, you can't plug it open, and it is too expensive to buy another magic guide four-wheel drive, and only Elusa can afford it, but the one she is riding in now is Elusa's, of course she won't buy another one.
Lucy looked up at the roof of the car speechlessly.
I saw Natsu lying on the roof of the car, vomiting like motion sickness, and muttering incessantly, "Vomit...... But, damn it...... I'm going to ...... with you Showdown...... ...... vomit"
Gray sat in the front seat, and when he heard Lu Ning's words, he also spread his hands, and said gloatingly: "I think it's no problem, anyway, the Spitfire is motion sickness wherever it sits, and the effect is the same, so it can save some fare, in fact, it is best for me to freeze him, he won't fall and won't faint." β
"I think it's better to just knock out."
Elusa answered.
When Lucy heard this, she couldn't help but complain frantically: "Are you devils?!" β
Although Harpy feels a little sorry for Natsu, Natsu is indeed dizzy no matter what means of transportation, the effect is the same, it has no way, and it is almost used to it.
Soon.
The magic four-wheel drive drove through fields and mountain roads into a plain, and a city of countless buildings gradually appeared in front of it.
The castle does not have walls, but rather exists like a gathering place, and there are buildings on the outermost part that continue to expand and build.
"When we get there, it's Castle City, so let's stop in this area first."
Elusa looked at the distance, and did not drive directly to Castle City without driving the magic guide four-wheel drive, after all, the other party is a dark guild, so swaggering to drive the magic guide four-wheel drive up, there is no doubt that it is too reckless, in case it is troublesome to be ambushed.
As an S-class magician, Elusa still has a set of standards for the execution of dangerous tasks.
"All the dark guilds are based on the three dark guilds of the Balam Alliance, and the Iron Forest that we eliminated before is a subsidiary guild under the command of the Six Demon Generals......"
Elusa parked the magic guide four-wheel drive in a dense forest, and then spoke to Lu Ning, Gray and the others who stepped down from the car.
The key narrators are, of course, Gray and Lucy, and Lu Ning probably knows more than she here.
"Although the dark guild we are going to deal with this time has not yet been clarified, the intelligence says that it is very likely to be a subsidiary guild under the command of the heart of the demon."
Elusa spoke in a deep voice.
Lucy showed a hint of surprise and said, "The heart of the devil? β
Gray also showed a solemn look on his face, and said: "The heart of the demon is said to be the strongest dark guild above countless dark guilds, and it has destroyed several light guilds, and the council has also sent people to surround and suppress them, but they have all failed, and even to this day it is not even clear how many people are in the core of the other party." β
A trace of cold sweat overflowed on Lucy's forehead when she listened, and at the same time, she looked at Gray in some surprise, and said, "How can you understand so clearly?" β
"Because...... Devils. β
Gray casually took off his clothes.
He is extremely sensitive to demons, so he has also learned about the information of this dark guild called the heart of demons, but his understanding is only superficial.
"Gray is right, the heart of the demon is indeed a terrifying dark guild, but we are only dealing with its affiliated guilds this time, and maybe we can dig up some clues about the heart of the demon with this, so that the council will be less finger-instructing of our fairy tails."
Elusa spoke calmly.
And just as Elusa finished speaking, Natsu, who jumped out of the car, shook and quickly recovered from the expression of her vomiting ass, and burst into flames from her mouth, and rushed towards Gray with a whoa-wow.
Although it was Lu Ning's proposal to let Natsu go to the roof of the car, the main executor was Gray, and Natsu's hatred was naturally directly pulled over by Gray.
"Humph!"
Seeing Natsu rushing over, Gray snorted softly and was about to make a move without showing weakness.
But before the two could fight together, Elusa's fist reached out and smashed two hard punches on the heads of the two, directly slamming the two to the ground.
"Did you hear everything I said?!"
Elusa spoke to Natsu and Gray on the ground with dark faces.
"Hey......"
Natsu and Gray responded feebly like quails.
Really......
Elusa couldn't help but close her eyes and shook her head, feeling helpless for a while, although Natsu and Gray are not bad, but sometimes they are really a little unreliable.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Ning and said, "The opponent is the Dark Guild, do you have any battle plan?" β
"Huh? Yes...... I haven't thought of it yet. β
Lu Ning was lowering his head, revealing a deep expression, and when he heard Elusa's words, he suddenly woke up and turned his head to look at Elusa.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a glimmer of light that no one noticed.
Just now, the system finally popped up a side quest for him, and there was a voice that only he could hear, and a quest panel that only he could see.
