With a creak, the door to the tavern was pushed open, and a petite girl who looked to be about 12 or 3 years old, with a cold personality, walked in.

The girl's dress is very simple, blue and white cloth pants, plus a gray coat, it looks a little old, and it is not very warm, but she does not seem to be cold at all. The silver-white hair and the snow outside the house complement each other, and the girl is very good-looking, with a bright face, but her body seems to be very powerful, and she looks like a young snow leopard.

It's not like what people living in this place should look like - but it's what the Demon Tail World should look like.

"I'm back." The girl named Winter took off her coat and asked, "Uncle, who are these people?" ”

"Winter, you're back?"

"They are ......"

Poole was about to introduce him, but greeted Natsu, who was familiar with him, "I'm Natsu, the wizard of Fairy Tail." ”

"I'm Lucy."

"I'm Harpy."

"Magician?" With the right amount of confusion on his face, Winter walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Poole explained to his niece, "They were commissioned by me to help deal with the monsters. ”

"Just these two people and a cat?" Winter frowned and asked, "What kind of magic are you using?" ”

"Fire."

"Star Spirit."

"Hey."

"This is the person you asked for help?" Winter took a deep look at them, then turned to look at his uncle incredulously: "A hot-blooded idiot restrained by the ice attribute, a woman with useless fat all over her body, and a cat who can only sell cuteness and eat grilled fish?" (Although the cat is indeed cute)"

"This little girl is so uncute!" Lucy puffed out with anger and whispered, "What do you mean useless fat?!" I'm a plump body! ”

Harpy was not convinced, and swallowed the remaining half of the grilled fish in his hand: "That's it! I can still fly! ”

"I think you better go back as soon as possible, lest you lose your life if you can't beat it when you get it." Winter said a few words and turned and walked around the corner.

Only then did Lucy realize that the tavern had a second floor.

"Winter, you can't be so rude!" Poole scratched his head, "Really, this kid is different when he grows up, and now he's really getting more and more rebellious, sorry, and please forgive her for her faux pas." ”

"No...... It's nothing. Lucy smiled awkwardly.

"This man's magic is very different." Natsu said as he looked at Winter's back, his perception had always been very sensitive.

Hearing Natsu's words, Lucy realized, "Magic? Is she also a magician? ”

"Yes, Winter was born with a talent for magic, and as I said before, she was supposed to inherit the magic of the Isisneo."

Poole said to Natsu and Lucy, "But, perhaps it was her father's death that hit her hard, and after I arrived, I found that she had become very withdrawn and her personality was getting stronger and stronger, and she was a very coquettish little girl when she was now." ”

Poole smiled like an old father showing off his children, and his eyes were full of nostalgia: "I originally lived with my clan in the city outside, and I rushed here after receiving the news of my brother's death, and I wanted to take her away, but she stubbornly refused to leave.

Even if she loses the demon slaying method inherited from her clan, she can live a good life on her own, and the child seems to have always wanted to prove it to her dead father, so I can only stay here and take care of her. ”

"Because I don't have a strong talent for magic, I entrusted the people of the Magic Guild to help get rid of those magical beasts." Poole took a sip of wine, "Winter child, she shouldn't be left here by such an obsession, she has a broader future, I hope she can get out of this snowy mountain and go to the outside world to have a look." ”

"Uncle......" Uncle Tavern's words moved Lucy, because she subconsciously compared Winter to herself.

I am really envious, although I am just an uncle, but for her sake, even if I don't agree with her decision, I will silently support her behind her back; And what about yourself?

Lucy thought of her father, Jode Hatfilia.

As a bourgeois who controls the Fiore Kingdom Railroad Consortium, he has always been strict with Lucy, not caring about her preferences and life, and even being stingy with daily greetings.

"I've decided!" Lucy stood up and clenched her fists.

"Nani?" Natsu and Harpy looked at Lucy with puzzled expressions, wondering why she was suddenly so reactive.

"I'm going to help Uncle get that little girl out of this snowy mountain and go to the outside world to have a look! Uncle Poole was right, that little girl, Winter, deserved a more wonderful future, instead of living here all the time, bound by this inexplicable obsession. ”

"Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

"Lucy became weird~"

"It's noisy! You just have to support me. ”

"Yes!"

……

On a certain mountain peak, in a mysterious cave, four figures gathered around an ice table for a meeting, and on them, there was a dark and gloomy, demonic aura.

Among them, it seems that it is the eldest of the four, and the burly-looking uncle spoke, his tone is deep, and his face is serious: "Everyone! With a decades-long plan coming to fruition and the Lord's resurrection imminent, I hope you don't fail for any reason! ”

"You stinky uncle, you don't look like a boss and give orders to others, I don't want to eat this!"

What retorted to him was a grumpy Lori with two ponytails, she stepped on the round table with one foot, the white lace on her legs seemed to be white clouds, and she crossed her waist with one hand, like an underage delinquent girl, without cultivation.

"Alright, Clouey, restrain your temper a little, I think you'll read as many books as I do in the future." The young man next to him looked a little bookish, which simply didn't match the temperament of the other three.

"That's right, the concubine advises you to be respectful of Ace," next to her, a graceful, gorgeous, plump woman laughed, "If you are hung on an icicle later, we will not intercede for you." ”

"Humph! It's you a bad woman again, every time you say bad things about me in front of the stinky uncle, and I get punished. ”

"You will be punished because you have not learned etiquette well, and it has nothing to do with the concubine."

"Huh?! Book? Manners? You two don't really think of yourself as humans, do you? The girl named Cloue grinned and looked fiercely, "We are demons! Brutality and cold-bloodedness are in our nature! ”

"Alright, Clouey, Snoy, Fogg, be quiet!" The burly uncle named Ace slapped the table, "That fellow of the Isisneuon clan has commissioned a human mage to come, you should be careful during this time, don't let them ruin our plans." ”

Grumpy Lori Clouey looked disdainful: "It's just a few magicians, do you need to be so careful?" I can deal with them alone! ”

Si Nuoyi, who looked like a royal sister, spread her chest on the table and said, "Don't underestimate the current magician, remember that a few years ago, didn't a human break into the base single-handedly and kill Walter?" If you're careless, you'll be the next to die! ”

"That's because he's so weak! If I had stayed behind, it wouldn't have turned out like that! ”

The young man named Fogg glanced at Clouey, who was obviously a little unconvinced: "Don't talk too much! That man had inherited the magic of the Ehisnius! ”

Although she was not young but had not read much, Clouey stopped talking, because she knew that the magicians who had inherited the Demon Slayer Law could cause harm to them, but her personality did not allow her to decline in verbal confrontation.

"As you said, Walter was so easily killed because of that magic, and this time these guys don't have the magic of the Isisneos! It's just a bunch of humans to be slaughtered! ”

"I think sooner or later you're going to suffer because of your conceit! When the time comes, you can come to the arms of the concubine and cry! ”

"You guy, do you owe it to clean up?!"

"Enough! Are you still taking me seriously?! ”

Seeing that the three of them didn't take themselves seriously at all, the burly uncle Ace directly released the coercion, and the terrifying coercion directly overwhelmed the three of them, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Stopping the quarrel of several people, Ace directly assigned the task, "In short, in order to prevent them from affecting the Lord's resurrection plan, the three of you will each lead the wolves to solve this group of miscellaneous things!" ”

"Yes."

After the three of them left, Ace turned back and entered the secret passage in the cave, and after many twists and turns, he came to a secret room.

In the vast secret room, there stood this huge demon ice sculpture dozens of meters high.

"The time is almost up, soon I will be able to get your power, the former overlord of the sea!"

If Kira or Gray were here, they would be able to recognize at a glance that the ice magic in front of them that sealed the demon was the life-sacrificing trick of the Uru lineage, and it was absolutely frozen!!
