In the corner of Magnolia, there is a river.

Compared with Noah's secret base, the river in the forest, this river is not only much larger, but also much more lively.

Because, in this river, every now and then, a boat will emerge from it and pass by every place along the coast.

Lucy's home is just across the river.

It was a very ordinary hut.

According to Lucy herself, although this cottage is very ordinary, it is also impossible to find faults, and the most important thing is that the monthly rent is only 70,000 J, which is quite cost-effective, so Lucy did not hesitate to rent it after learning about it.

This reason makes people want to cry a little bit.

However, compared to the girls' dormitory in Fairytail, Lucy still prefers this room.

The reason is the same as the previous one, the problem of rent.

The accommodation fee for the girls' dormitory of "Fairytail" is 100,000 J per month, but this room only costs 70,000 J a month.

That was a big savings for Lucy.

As a member of the same team, Elusa frequents Lucy's house and is quite familiar with Lucy's house.

So, led by Elusa, Noah climbed into Lucy's house from the direction of the window somewhat speechlessly.

From this choice, Noah saw a fact.

That is, Elusa enters Lucy's house. Generally, they don't go through the main entrance.

No, it shouldn't just Elusa. It's very likely that even Natsu and Gray are the same, so maybe it's not true.

I silently felt a sadness for Lucy in my heart. Noah's attention was drawn to the next moment by a qiē imprinted into the senses.

It's a very ordinary room.

The layout of the room is not very luxurious, and the taste of home is so good that people can't see where the eldest lady lives at all.

It's just that this place does have a young lady living in this place.

The room was clearly a girl's room, and even the smell in the air was scented with a hint of fragrance, which was refreshing.

The only thing that makes you feel good is the air in the room and the setting.

And the factors that make people feel bad are also there.

Noah was sure that was definitely the bad factor that didn't exist before last night.

It was this bad factor that attracted Noah's attention and made Noah's nerves tense in an instant and close his eyes. Unleashed his senses, it stretched out like tentacles, enveloping Lucy's entire room.

At this time, Noah could clearly feel a trace of strange magic.

It was as if it had just emerged from an abyss somewhere, with an extremely strong aura of evil and darkness.

Such evil and dark magic, Noah has only felt in one person.

The president of the Phantom Lord ———— Joseph.

Of course, Noah was referring to the fact that the magic of evil and darkness was of the same nature as Joseph's, not that it was exactly the same as Joseph's.

Unlike Joseph, the sinister, dark magic that permeated Lucy's room seemed to be much purer. The aura inside was also completely different from Joseph's.

Therefore, the owner of this sinister, dark magic must have resembled Joseph in some way.

For example, character.

For example. Magic.

In short, this could never be the magic that Lucy left behind.

And naturally, such magic could not have been left behind by Laxus.

Seemingly. Just as Noah had guessed, Lucy and her party were missing. It's all because someone shot at them.

This person should not be Laxus.

At least. Definitely not Laxus himself.

Although Laxus's magic is also very special, it is because Laxus is related to the Dragon Slayer Magus, and like Natsu, Gajiru, and Wendy, he holds a different and extremely destructive magical power.

And the magic of Laxus is definitely not such a dark and evil magic.

This made Noah frown.

"What's wrong?" Alusa was just about to search Lucy's room when she caught a glimpse of Noah, who was frowning with his eyes closed and closed, and asked suspiciously.

"Did you find anything?"

"I've found some remnants of magic." Noah didn't hide it either, and while opening his eyes, he said his speculation.

"It's not Lucy's magic, it's not anyone's magic."

"What do you mean—" Elusa froze.

"Did someone really break into Lucy's room and take her away?"

"As it stands, it's the most likely." Noah's brow was still furrowed.

"It's just that I can only find that the magic in the air that remains here has a very evil and dark nature, and I can't get any clues other than that."

"No, you've got an important clue." Elusa spoke in a loud voice.

"At the very least, you've helped us determine that someone is actually targeting Fairytail and taking almost all of the members of our guild away."

Moving her arm, wrapped in armor, Elusa spoke in a deep voice.

"Since you can perceive the remnants of the magic here, can you perceive where the owner of the magic is?"

"Nope." Noah shook his head.

"The other party must have used magic to capture Lucy to leave traces of magic in this room, and then left, I can only feel that there are these strange magic remnants in this room, and there is no other place."

After saying that, Noah looked at Elusa's heavy expression and comforted softly.

"Even so, I have memorized the other party's magical aura, as long as the owner of this magical power appears in front of me again, I will definitely be able to discover his true face, unless he can change his aura, otherwise, I can't hide it."

"That's good." Elusa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's continue to look for any clues!"

Noah nodded in agreement, and along with Elusa, they looked around Lucy's room.

……

Just as Noah and Elusa were on their way to Lucy's house, on the other hand, Mira and Lisanna were stopped on their way to their home.

Protecting Lisana as if protecting Lisanna, Mira's expression became a little sad as she repeatedly swept her gaze over the body of the person blocking her in front of her.

"Is it really you?"

"Are you the ones who took Brother Elf and everyone else in the guild away?!" Lishana also cried out angrily.

"Hurry up and get everyone back!" Thor'! ”

Standing in the way of Mira and Lisanna is none other than the Thunder Gods, the ———— of Laxus' personal guards.

Led by Fried, Piccosrow and Abba Greene stood beside them, one on the left and one on the right, and the three of them only looked at Mira, as if they were deliberately ignoring Lisanna's existence.

"Mira Jenny! Lisanna! Holding a fan in her hand, Abba Greene, who covered the lower half of her face, spoke in a coquettish voice.

"You'd better come with us obediently!"

"Laxus, let's bring you there!" Bicoslo, on the other hand, stuck out his tongue and raised his hands in exaggerated movements.

"If you don't obey obediently, then I can only let my baby play with you!"

"My advice is that you'd better not resist, we don't want to fight you." Fried raised his eyes and looked at Mira.

"Even if the rumored 'Demons' are against all of our 'Thunder Gods', even if you can defeat them, you are not sure that you will be able to protect your sister in battle, right?"

Mira's pretty face changed slightly.

"Despicable fellow!" Lisana spoke out angrily.

"If you have the ability, you will face off with Sister Mira!"

"Sorry, we're only on orders from Laxus." Fried's face remained unchanged.

"In order to fulfill Laxus's orders, even if some despicable means are used, there is no way to do it."

"Purpose?" Mira bit her lip.

"What is your purpose?"

"You're not right, Mira Jenny of the Devil." Abba Greene laughed "swoop".

"We didn't have any purpose in the first place." Bicosrow grinned.

"Our purpose is only to assist Laxus, and Laxus has only one purpose." Fried turned around, as if knowing that Mira would not resist any longer, and left the words.

"Fairytail's next president!" (To be continued......)
