Chapter 9: The Curse of Karna
"Who are you?"
The guard asked, noticing the four Kira approaching.
Kira stepped forward and replied, "We are magicians from Fairy Tail who have come to solve the mission. ”
Guard Armor turned back to his companion next to him, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"It seems that someone from the Magic Guild is coming."
"Show us your guild crest."
This is something that almost every mission has to go through, and it was not surprising that several people immediately revealed their guild crests.
Kira took off her coat and saw a black guild coat of arms representing 'Fairy Tail' engraved on her left arm.
In fact, Kira doesn't like tattoos very much, but this world is like this, the coat of arms of the magic guild represents the identity of the belonging, and he can only follow the local customs, and over time he will adapt to it.
In fact, there is another reason why I don't mind carving the coat of arms, that is, Kira vaguely remembers that this guild coat of arms seems to be a magic buff, with the magic of the first president of the 'Fairy Tail' Mebis, and I forgot the specific effect, but in general, it is open.
If you can open the hanging, then you naturally don't mind, after all, who would think that they hang too much?
After confirming the identity of the comer, the guards opened the gate to let a few people in, and led them to the village chief.
All of them, including the village chief, were dressed in clothes that looked like they were from some backward tribe, and among them, the village chief wore a slightly more noble looking cloak supported by the fur of some unknown beast.
The village chief, a short, long-eared old man holding a moon-shaped scepter on top, had a warm smile on his face when he saw Kira and the others who had come to settle the curse.
"It's finally time for you to arrive, magicians."
The old village chief showed the group the current situation, and slowly spoke: "As you can see, all the creatures on this island, from dogs to birds, have been spared, and all of us have been entangled in this curse. ”
Gray offered his opinion: "Why is it a curse? Didn't you think it could be a disease? ”
The village chief replied: "We have found dozens of doctors to diagnose us, but they have concluded that they have never seen a similar disease. And the mutation of our bodies is related to the magic of the moon. ”
"This island has been gathering the light of the moon since ancient times, and the whole island has become brilliant and beautiful because of the moon, but a few years ago the moon suddenly turned purple and emitted purple light."
Rocky: "Purple light? Could it be the magic of light? ”
"And when the Purple Moon appears, our appearance will be changed, and we will become ugly demons."
Gray thought of something, and his face was a little surprised: "You say demons? ”
"Yes, and during the day, everyone will return to their original posture, but ......"
Kana: "But? ”
"Some of us can't recover, and even lose our minds, and even our hearts have become demons, and in the end we can only kill them."
"Kill? What a decisiveness! ”
"yes, if they find a way, they should be able to reply!"
"No way, if you leave it alone, everyone will be killed by monsters, and even if they are locked in prison, they will destroy the prison door, including my son."
"So please save this island and lift the curse on us, so please save this island, or if this continues, all of us will be taken away by demons."
The more the village chief spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he couldn't even hold back his tears, and the surrounding villagers stepped forward to comfort him.
"There's only one way to solve our curse, please destroy the moon!"
Gray: "Huh?! ”
Rocky: "Destroying the moon, you say?" ”
Kana: "How could that be done?" ”
Although the surrounding atmosphere was very strange by the old village chief and the villagers, and the performance of Gray and the others was also perfectly set off, Kira's heart did not fluctuate, and she even wanted to laugh.
After all, he knew what was going on, but he couldn't tell everyone directly, because he had to maintain his S-class magician style in front of everyone, so he could only reason step by step.
In the end, Kira led a few people out of the village and into the forest, citing the need to investigate clues.
On the way, Gray, Rocky, and Kana all expressed their opinions.
"Anyway, it's impossible to destroy the moon, right?"
Compared to Gray, who was still entangled with the moon, Rocky was obviously much more rational: "As far as I can guess, this should be a kind of magic, and it is magic that only affects the people and animals on the island." ”
"Magic? Could it be receiving magic like Mira? ”
"How is it possible that the whole island, including animals, has the talent to receive magic, and there are not so many demons for them to receive, it should be other magic."
Kira thinks Rocky's words are a little too taken for granted, where are there not so many demons?
Kana thought for a moment, "When the moon turns purple, it glows purple, is it light magic?" Rocky: Have you ever heard of similar magic? ”
Rocky shook his head, "I've never heard of this type of magic. ”
"What do you think? Kira, what to do? ”
The three looked at Kira to see what he would say.
Seeing that the three of them had no clue, Kira was proud in her heart, but sighed helplessly on her face: "Hey, so, this is the gap between you and the S-class magician, didn't you collect any information when you did missions before?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"I did my research before I set off," Kira began to ramble, "this island is documented in some libraries, and it is an island with a long history. ”
"The island of Karna, because it can gather the moonlight and condense into a powerful power of the moon, was also called the island of the moon a long time ago; But at the same time, it is also known as Alcatraz Island because its inhabitants are demons, not humans. ”
"Nani?" ×3
Kira's words startled several people to stop.
Gray exclaimed, "Are you saying that these inhabitants did not become demons because of the moon, but were demons in the first place?" ”
"Yes."
Kana asked, "Wait...... But what we saw just now was indeed a human being, right? ”
"It is recorded in the book that it is the talent of this group of demons here to become humans, which means that now they are actually changing during the day and returning to their original appearance at night."
Rocky pondered and asked, "If they are really demons, why lie to us that they became demons because of the curse of the moon?" And the attitude of the villagers ......"
"Something affected their bodies, memories to be precise, and made them think they were originally human."
"Affected memory? Is that purple moon? ”
"The purple moon that the villagers will see should be related to the changes in their bodies, there are two possibilities, one is a biological virus, the virus has affected the villagers' bodies, not only causing memory confusion, but also disturbing their eyes;
If we can see the purple moon after dark, then it should be the second case, a magic that spreads all over the island turns the moonlight purple and affects their memories.
However, considering the situation on the island, I prefer the latter. ”
Well, it's back to the circle, I'm a genius!
