Chapter 57: It's normal to write about a race that serves the gods

"Gods? Is this really there? ”

At this time, the airship had already flown into the snowy mountains, but it did not lose its way, but just sailed aimlessly in the air.

Kira doesn't care about the direction anymore, and anyway, there is no clear way to the map around here, so it's all up to luck whether you can find it.

The six of them sat around the fire set up on the airship, discussing Kira's information.

"It's true that I've occasionally seen gods in books, but I've always thought they were just fictional legends."

"However, if demons and dragons do exist, maybe the gods once existed?"

"That's right!" Kira's face was a little excited, "I guess, it's just a guess, the so-called gods, like demons, dragons, and humans, are all of a certain species, but maybe they are born with powerful abilities, so they are called gods." ”

"Powerful ...... Ability? Magic? ”

"Humans have a great talent for learning and creativity, and can use magic; According to Natsu, and according to some books, dragons are born with powerful bodies, can fly, and can also use magic; Demons possess great destructive power and life force, and can also use magic, and the demons of the Book of Jelf can even use spells; And what about the gods? ”

Hearing Kira's analogy, Elusa understood, "You mean to say that the gods may also use magic?" ”

"Not only that, but the legends of the gods are older than dragons and demons, so old that there are almost no books to write about, so there are several speculations, one of the guesses, that they may be the first people to use magic."

Several people were shocked by this speculation, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not impossible.

"Once upon a time, there was no mature knowledge and thought, and there was no division of nations, and in those days, wasn't it possible for ordinary people to compare powerful magicians to gods?"

"Moreover, demons and dragons are still visible, but I have never heard of anyone who has ever seen a god, so could it be that the gods who were originally high above are no longer gods because of the popularization of magic."

Elusa exclaimed: "What a bold guess! ”

Of course, there is also the second guess, the god is not a living being, but refers to a certain law or phenomenon, because the ancients could not understand this situation, so it is identified as the ability of the gods. But at this point in speculation, I have no evidence to corroborate. ”

"A race with special abilities; Ancient magicians; and incomprehensible mystical phenomena. Kira said, holding out three fingers, "These are my three guesses about the gods!" ”

"So...... Having said all this, what does the legend of this celestial maiden have to do with the gods? Gray asked.

"Of course it does!" Kira explained, "Let's just talk about the conclusion, I have corroborated each other from various sources, and I have come to the conclusion that the magic used by the Black Celestial Maiden is a lost ancient magic, the Ice God Destroying Magic!" ”

……

"Sure enough, the client is uncle, are you?"

"Yes, I am a descendant of the Banu Ehisnius."

"The Ehisners?" Natsu and Harpy looked at each other with some confusion, apparently unheard.

Lucy had read a lot of books, and after a while, she remembered it, slapped the table and asked, "Are the Isisines you are talking about, the one who served the gods in legend?" ”

"That's right, although the Isis have existed for nearly a thousand years, their numbers have been very small, and in recent decades some people have been moving out of the mountains, and I am the only one who still stays here."

"Millennium?" Natsu, Lucy, and Harpy were all taken aback, and Natsu couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know anything about the dragon, uncle?" ”

"Dragons?" Uncle Poole thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No one has ever seen a dragon now, but according to the classics handed down from the clan, there were indeed dragons that lived hundreds of years ago, and there were quite a few, but they all disappeared later. ”

Natsu was a little disappointed: "Really? Haven't you seen it yet? ”

"Natsu, let's do the mission first!" Lucy tugged at Natsu's sleeve and looked at Poole, "The mission is for us to repel the Monsters, but in this kind of place, are there really Monsters to survive?" ”

Lucy, Natsu, and Harpy had been walking around for a long time, but there was no sign of the beast.

Judging from the task, it is obvious that the demonic beasts to be repelled are not one, but a group, but in this kind of icy and snowy deep mountains, where even humans rarely set foot in, how can a group of demonic beasts survive?

Compared with the bad weather in Zonia, the food and water sources outside should be more abundant, and the environment is more comfortable, and humans know that they have to move out, so why don't these monsters migrate?

Poole heard Lucy's doubts, and after a little thought, explained: "In fact, this group of demonic beasts is not an ordinary magical beast, but is mass-produced by demons. ”

"Demons?"

"Manufactured?"

Seeing the magician in front of him come to do the task, Poole hesitated for a long time, and finally as if he had made up his mind, he said: "To be honest, I originally only released this task with the mentality of trying, and I didn't expect much to expect that someone would really take it, but since you are here, I can only explain it to you." ”

Uncle Poole got up and poured himself a glass of wine, and sat down in front of Natsu, Lucy, and Harpy again.

The two of them and a cat sat on their lapses and listened.

"Until a few decades ago, the neighborhood was a hermitage for the Ehisnius. The village of Isis is a village that has been passed down for a long time, and according to the canonical records of the clan, we are the descendants of the gods, and the enemies of the gods are demons. ”

"Legend has it that the gods and demons were at odds for a long time, and the battle between the two races spread across the continent, and the war lasted for a long time, and then the demons were defeated, and the gods disappeared, and then the age of dragons and magic began."

"However, the struggle between the Ehisneon clan and the demons here has been ongoing, these demons have a long lifespan, tenacious vitality, and strength, and are difficult to kill, and later even used unknown methods to create magical beasts in batches, causing serious damage to the Ehisnius."

"Fortunately, in order to deal with these demons, our ancestors created a magic that can kill the demons, and the same monsters they create."

"That's the Ice Demon Slayer Method!"

"Ice Demon Extermination Method?!" ×3

Uncle Poole's words surprised the three of them, especially Natsu, the dragon-destroying magic he used was taught by the dragon, and now there is a demon-destroying method, this magic can't be taught by the devil, right?

At this time, he obviously forgot that the original intention of the ancestors in Poole's mouth to create the Demon Slaying Method was to deal with demons.

"Haven't heard of it?" Poole said with a smile, "The Ice Demon Slayer Method is different from ordinary ice and snow magic, and in this environment, the user can exert great strength. ”

"I know, I must be able to eat ice to restore my strength and magic!"

Poole looked at Natsu with some curiosity: "Oh? You even know? ”

Harpy explained, "Because Natsu uses the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, he can eat fire to restore his strength!" ”

"Is that also the magic of the killing system? Could it be that the user eats ice to restore mana? Lucy looked at Natsu with some surprise, she hadn't seen anyone else use similar Lost Magic other than Natsu.

"Fire Dragon Slayer Magic......" Poole muttered, surprised that there were other killing magics, and at the same time regretful because of Natsu's magic, he sighed and said, "Fire attribute?" It's very restrained in a place like this. ”

Ice and fire are never incompatible, in the snow-capped mountains of Zonia, fire-attribute magicians are suppressed, and it is difficult to exert their true strength, even if they are powerful fire-based magicians, they will first reduce their strength by thirty percent.

Not to mention...... Poole glanced at young Natsu, hesitating in his heart, can this kid really solve that group of demonic beasts?
