Elusa said that in this life, there were three people who saved her.

Now, Noah finally knows which three people it is.

One is Rob, a former member of Fairytail, who died protecting Elusa at the hands of the Magic Order.

One is Gerald, who, like Elusa, was a slave in the Tower of Paradise eight years ago, rescued Elusa from the torture chamber, but was punished in place of Elusa, and now has become the ruler of the Tower of Paradise.

Finally, there is Noah, the Noah who gave Elusa a new life.

For Elusa, Rob and Noah are both the ones who gave her a second birth in a sense.

And this Gerald, since he was able to become a scapegoat in order to save Elusa, was obviously also Elusa's companion.

At least, it used to be.

It's just that, in the middle, what must have happened during the time when Elusa went to save Gerald after the end of the rebellion, and finally led to an ending that no one expected.

Anyway, Noah would never believe that Elusa was the kind of person who would betray her companions.

So, no matter how you think about it, the problem is with that Gerald.

As long as Gerald is found, then all the problems can be solved, and Noah may be able to find a way to rid Alusa of her unbearable past.

"One last question." Noah turned to Simon and asked.

"Where's Gerald?"

Hearing Noah's words, whether it was Hugh, Simon, Woolley, or Miriana, they were all shocked.

"Boy, you don't want to go to Gerald, do you?" Woolley yelled with some exaggeration.

"I'd advise you to give up, and you'll still be gorgeous, boy."

"Gerald is not like us, our magic can only be mastered with Gerald's help." Miliana also whispered.

"The strongest in the Tower of Paradise is Gerald, and he is very strong, you must not be his opponent."

"You may be dismayed to say that, but have you really figured it out?" Simon looked directly at Noah, and his tone was solemn.

"Gerald is indeed very strong, so he can become the ruler of the Tower of Paradise, you have to think carefully, if you lose, not only may you not get anything, but you will also pay a very strict price."

"If you want to die, you can go as long as you want." Hugh spoke in a vicious tone.

"Anyway, you'll soon taste real despair."

"Oh?" Noah raised his eyebrows and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.

"Are you worried about me? Aren't you in the same league as Gerald? ”

When Noah said this, Miliana and her party suddenly woke up, looked at each other with a smile, and fell silent.

Seeing this, Noah nodded secretly in his heart.

The essence of these people is not actually bad, but they are a little too naïve and easy to be taken advantage of.

I have always listened to Gerald's words before, so I do everything very regularly, but now, because of Noah's words, these four people have begun to doubt Gerald's words, and their positions have suddenly become unclear, so they will subconsciously give Noah advice.

"My affairs are not secure, you don't have to worry about it." Noah crouched down and untied the ropes from Hugh, Simon, Woolley, and Miriana.

"Meow?" Miliana took the lead and let out a voice of confusion.

"What are you doing here?" Hugh was stunned for a moment.

"You're not going to let us go, are you?"

"I don't embarrass you because you're Elusa's companions when she was a child, and you may be taken advantage of." Noah threw the rope in his hand, but pointed a finger in the space in front of him.

"But, don't think I'm going to let you go so lightly."

As the words fell, Noah's fingers slid suddenly, and the magic power followed his fingers to write looming runes in the void, and then flicked slightly on the runes.

"Hum!"

Hugh, Simon, Woolley, and Miliana didn't even react, and Noah wrote four runes, which suddenly flew out with the flick of his fingers, imprinted on the chests of the four people, and disappeared into them.

“――――！” Only then did the four of Miliana react, and hurriedly touched their chests for a while, but they didn't touch anything.

"What is this?!"

"It's just a precaution." Noah pouted and smiled.

"If you obediently find a place to hide, or just leave here, then you won't have anything, but if you still want to continue to get along with me, or even want to fight Elusa's idea, then your body will burn to the point that there is no skin left in an instant!"

Hearing this, the four of Miliana and his party shivered, and even more desperately touched the position of their chest, as if doing so could expel the runes hidden in their bodies.

Noah didn't pay much attention to this and let them go.

"I don't know exactly where it is, but since it's a ruler, it shouldn't be possible to stay below, but above, right?" Noah raised his head, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked.

"Hopefully we can have a nice meeting, Gérald."

With that, Noah turned around and walked outside.

Simon, who had been silent all along, accidentally saw the guild crest of "Fairytail" on the back of Noah's hand and became thoughtful.

After Noah left the room, all four of them stood up.

"There's something wrong with this script." Woolley said as if he wanted to cry without tears.

"Why does it feel like he's the hero? Why is he the only one who can turn around and leave so gorgeously? That's not right! ”

"That's fine, whatever it is." Hugh let out a sigh and stroked his chest.

"What we need to think about now is what we have to do."

"That man's words must be true, right?" Miliana said timidly.

"If we go against him, his magic will burn us to death."

"That should be the truth." Simon nodded as well.

"So, going forward, we can't get involved in his affair with Gérard anymore."

Hugh, Woolley, and Miliana were at a loss.

"So what are we going to do?"

As Noah expected, the four people who didn't know who to believe at first didn't know who to believe, and they were completely at a loss.

Only Simon, remembering Noah's words, took a deep breath.

"Let me be clear, I, like that man, have always believed that Elusa did not betray us!"

This sentence made Hugh, Woolley, and Miliana bow their heads, not knowing what to say.

However, then, Simon's words surprised everyone.

"I want to go to Elusa!"

"Looking for Elusa?" Everyone was taken aback, and Miliana hurriedly spoke up.

"But, that guy said we couldn't beat little Elu's idea!"

"I'm not going to arrest Elusa, I'm going to ask Elusa for help!" Simon said calmly.

"I feel that that person is not simple, even if it is Gerald, he should be able to deal with it, but the most terrifying thing about Gerald is not the strength, but the cunning that deceived us for eight years, I am afraid that he will suffer, so, we must find Elusa!"

"But... But—" Hugh gritted his teeth.

"Where are we going to find my sister?"

Hearing this, Simon recalled the guild crest on the back of Noah's hand and said it word by word.

"'Fairytail'..."

……

The Tower of Paradise, the top floor...

It's not like the rest of Paradise Tower.

At least, it's not just rocks that don't change.

Walking into this vast room on the top floor of the Tower of Paradise, the first thing Noah saw was a crystal made of a huge ice spike in the middle.

Whether it was a magic crystal or not, Noah couldn't tell because there was no magic power in this crystal.

On the walls around the room, there are frescoes of demons and humans with painful expressions.

"It's an uninvited guest, but I'll let me say hello to you..."

Saying such a sentence was the blue-haired ruler who sat on the throne and looked at Noah slowly with evil eyes.

"Welcome to the Tower of My Paradise, Noa Dole."

Looking at Gerald, who said such a sentence and exuded evil aura all over his body, Noah's eyes bloomed with a terrifying look. R1152
