Chapter XVIII

"The Magical Council?"

Newton put down the book in his hand and looked at Makarov.

"It's just a group meeting, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"

"Well, there's just that there's still news."

Makarov handed over a note.

"Curse?"

Newton touched his chin.

"To be honest, I believe that Jelf has the ability to make people die directly, after all, if you look at it according to the history books, the gap between us and Jelf is dimensional, but if the props he left behind can have this level of power after such a long time, I don't believe it."

"yes, but just in case."

Makarov took a drag on his cigarette.

"The most important thing is the handling of the curse, we don't know whether that thing is disposable or can be used multiple times, and what the lethality is, if we don't understand these problems, it will always be a big problem."

"That's right, then I'll be paying attention to this news of Iron Forest recently."

Newton then began to read the book again, but then it was as if he remembered something.

"By the way, the ghost people have been jumping a lot lately."

"Joseph, that guy, even if he is in the Holy Ten, he is a young man, but his heart is still not calm enough."

Makarov didn't take the other party seriously, although it was rumored that the tail of the fairy and the ghost were similar to each other, but looking at the leader, Makarov could basically guess what the ghost was like.

"But after all, it's still troublesome, the news from the store, the potions bought by the ghost people can even support a small battle, and through other guilds, purchasing agents, and anonymous purchases, it seems that they should be trying to do something recently."

Although he didn't think that the ghost would be the opponent of himself and others, Newton still liked to take precautions, otherwise it would be too passive, and it would be a lot of money to repair or something.

"You can do it, try not to let the guild be damaged too badly, and it is not suitable for us to strike first and defend well, otherwise it will be very troublesome to repair at that time."

Although the Magic Council doesn't say anything about Fairy Tail for economic reasons, it's also a headache to be talked about every day.

"Okay, I see."

Newton nodded, indicating that he was responsible for finding out the matter.

In the evening, Newton knocked on the door of Laxus.

"Why are you coming to me?"

Laxus was full of displeasure, as Makarov's grandson, he didn't agree with his grandfather's ideas very much, but he didn't have any grudges in the face of Newton, he agreed with the strong, and Newton could indeed be regarded as a strong man in his eyes.

"You are looking for something and you want me to come in and sit down?"

Newton looked at Laxus.

Laxus pouted and won Newton in.

"Do you mind?"

Newton shook the cigarette in his hand, and Laxus shook his head.

"Well, there might have been some trouble lately, how about you don't go out if you're okay?"

"Trouble?"

Laxus frowned.

"I'll just say, what's the point of letting those weak guys stay in our guild."

"I'm not here to argue with you or anything, I'm just here to inform you."

Newton didn't bother to argue with the rebellious teenager about anything, because Laxus looked down on people who were weaker than himself at all, and felt that the guys who were weaker than him were not qualified to stay in the guild at all, so he had a conflict with Elfman, and Miraj was not present at the time, so Newton came out, and it was because of this that Laxus agreed with Newton.

"Hmph, isn't it enough to have you guys? Or have you regressed? ”

Thunder and lightning flashed in Laxus's eyes, and he looked at Newton with a wicked smile, as if he was ready to fight without saying a word.

"You can try."

Newton's hands also flashed with electric sparks, his eyes narrowed, he took a puff of cigarette, and looked at Laxus unpleasantly.

"I'm not available, Justin has a mission I need to help with, and he may not be in the guild for a while."

Laxus turned her head proudly.

"Well, then you should be careful of the ghost people when you go out, the recent intelligence shows that the ghost seems to have made some big moves."

Newton sighed, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and got up to leave.

"Is the message accurate?"

Laxus suddenly spoke, although he was very proud, but he was not a fool, the ghost president Joseph was one of the Holy Ten after all, although Laxus thought he was strong, but in the face of the Holy Ten, he still had no confidence. If it's really a ghost, Kildas is on a hundred-year mission, and he will definitely not be able to come back, and even the chairman of Myster Heights doesn't know where the other party is, and he can only see him when he comes back to take over the mission. In this way, the only S-class magicians left in the guild are themselves, Newton and Miraj, and Elusa don't know if they can come back. It's a bit of a hassle on my side.

"I don't know, but the only one who has jumped more in the Dark Guild recently is the Iron Forest, and it seems that he has found the existence of the curse, but the things that the ghosts buy are not things for solo combat, they are basically things that are only used in war."

"You guys, have questions?"

If the other party says no, then Laxus has decided to let Justin give up his mission first.

"No, it's just that if the battle is too much, it will be very troublesome to repair."

Newton's words left Laxus speechless.

"It doesn't matter if it's just someone from Joseph's headquarters. The strongest ghost is nothing more than Joseph, but it will definitely not be the opponent of the president, and the subordinates are the four elements, although they claim to have S-level strength, but they are roughly the same level as Natsu, and they are completely different from our S-class. There is another one, who is said to be the same as Natsu, the legendary Iron Dragon Slayer Magister, and that's all there is to it. But there are too many clubs on the other side, and if they all attack us, it will be difficult for our guild to please us. ”

Newton's explanation made Laxus nod.

In that case, is it a chapter problem? That shouldn't be a problem, we'll get rid of the chapters when we leave. ”

"Well, if you see Mistergang, you can talk to him too."

"Is it okay to do it directly?"

Laxus sneered, his face full of hideousness.

"Natsu can destroy a port with just a small fire wizard, and your mission can't destroy a chapter?"

Newton's words made Laxus unhappy.

"Don't compare me to that shit."

"It's all dragon slayers, why bother."

Newton shook his head, pushed the door and left Laxus's room.
