As the sun set, the next day's Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts also came to a successful end, and under the cold moonlight, it set off the dark night as quiet as water.

In the east of an arched bridge, there are three figures standing in it, and under the illumination of the wall lamp, the oblique shadows pull their long bodies and poke out of the bridge hole.

"Didn't sense that strange mana?" Elusa said as she stood with her hands on her chest.

Gerald also leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest, bowed his head slightly, and replied, "Yes." The magic that we can feel every year is similar to that of Jelf, and this time we haven't sensed it yet. ”

"Have you found out what the reason is?" Elusa asked, puzzled.

Gerald looked at Elusa, then at Ming Feng, who was also leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, and said, "After thinking about it carefully, I came up with two possibilities. ”

As he spoke, Gerald's face became heavier and heavier, and he continued thoughtfully: "One is that if the necessary conditions are related characters, then he may not be here this time, or although he is in Kulokas, he has not used any magic, which means that he is likely to be a contestant in the tournament who has not yet appeared. ”

"The other is that if the necessary condition for that mana to activate is some kind of device, or a specific place, it is likely that it has not been activated, or there is a barrier or enchantment to prevent the mana from leaking." Gerald explained both of the scenarios he had guessed.

"Anyway, I didn't feel that dangerous magic, and everything was just empty talk." Elusa listened to Gerald's analysis as she spoke her judgment.

"That's right. Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the organizers to check the situation. Gerald nodded in agreement with Elusa's statement.

When they were about to leave, Gerald and Elusa turned their heads together to look at Ming Feng, who had not said a word since they met, and found that he had a thoughtful expression from beginning to end, and the two sighed helplessly, it seemed that Ming Feng had no clue, and it was not too late to discuss it when he came up with something.

At this time, Ming Feng kept thinking about everything that happened today, starting from the competitive match, due to his arrangement, so that both teams got points that they would not have obtained, to Kagura's unexpected defeat in the end, and now Gerald, although he did not have a preliminary round, he still continued to investigate the magic power he cared about as an audience in the venue.

All of this seems to be still in the plot of the original book, but it is a little off track, things seem to be developing in his unpredictable direction, which makes Ming Feng more and more headaches, if it is because of him, the Albarez Empire, which was originally going to attack next year, will start to invade this year, then everyone present is powerless.

The most important thing is that if the dragon king sacrifice that appeared later did not even defeat those dragons and attract Akunolokia, then the night in three days would have been the beginning of the destruction of this world.

'Da Da Da Da'

Seeing that Ming Feng didn't react at all, Gerald turned to leave, and the sound of footsteps interrupted Ming Feng's contemplation.

Looking at Gerald, who was about to leave, Ming Feng knew that he had to do something to deal with now, otherwise if events developed along his unpredictable route, the result would be destruction.

"Wait..."Ming Feng turned his head to Gerald and said suddenly.

Gerald, who stopped, and Elusa, who was standing in place, turned their heads to look at Ming Feng together.

"If you can appear here, it means that the person I asked you to protect has not yet appeared, so in the next few days, especially in the night of tomorrow and the next two days, you should meet the person I said in the city, and when she appears, you will know where the magic power you care about comes from, but you must protect her at all times after she appears, because she has a powerful enemy, even you are difficult to defeat alone, so you can only protect her to escape and join us here." Ming Feng said while thinking.

Although Ming Feng knew that the future Lucy should have appeared on the fourth night of the Great Demon Fight, according to the current progress, he began to suspect that 'Lucy' would appear in advance, after all, she had only come to this era in the past few days, and she was not at all the same future as the future 'Rogge'.

"That person is so important? He knew where that magic came from? The information Gerald received from Ming Feng's words surprised him so much that his voice trembled a little.

‘！？ ’

Elusa was also very surprised at the same time, although she knew that Ming Feng and Gerald must have reached some kind of agreement when they met, but it was completely unexpected for her to know so much information about Ming Feng.

"Don't look at me so surprised. All I know is that during my training, I met a soothsayer, and I knew from him but the details were not able to be divined. Ming Feng must have a reasonable statement about the expressions of the two people in front of him, otherwise it will be difficult to get recognition.

"Divination!?" Gerald and Elusa said in surprise at the same time.

Sighing, Ming Feng knew that he had to say a little more, otherwise it would be unconvincing, so he said: "Don't doubt this divination, I can experience and complete the task in the south of Ishgar alone at such a weak age, thanks to the divination that this soothsayer gave me." Moreover, I also know that the source of mana you are looking for will not appear until the Great Demon Fighting is over. ”

Although he said this, Ming Feng's heart was still very drumming, he was worried that if the high-level officials in the kingdom were aware of the incident they were investigating, which would cause most of the magicians to lose their magic power, then the situation after that would really be destroyed.

"Are you so convinced of the accuracy of this divination?" Gerald asked, still uneasy.

Ming Feng's eyes did not dodge in the slightest, he nodded very seriously and solemnly, and replied with a very affirmative expression: "Yes!" So, you have to protect the person I'm talking about. ”

Looking at Ming Feng's determined expression, Gerald didn't say much, but for Ming Feng's persistence, he affirmed it again, he would put other things aside and do his best to do what Ming Feng said.

After Gerald left, Elusa asked, "What if this divination is wrong?" ”

"Trust me! I just asked him to protect the person who was about to appear, and we will continue to investigate the rest of the matter, but he appeared at the venue, which was too easy to expose. Ming Feng's serious expression made Elusa agree, unable to refute...
