Chapter 171: Where Did Laxus Go?
Didn't go to Fillid to inquire, nonsense, if he knew he would still be sitting here?
So Kira turned and walked over to Pyguthro, finding him preparing for tomorrow's battle with Natsu, eh...... It is to eat and drink well and replenish physical strength.
Kira asked Pigustsrow where Laxus was, but he didn't know it, which made Kira confused: "This guy doesn't even want his subordinates, is it because he can't stand the blow, and he runs to a place where no one can find him to secretly wipe his tears?" ”
"Hee-hee-hee...... How is it possible, Laxus is not a child again! ”
Pyguslo laughed and said that he was about the same age as Laxus, about 4 or 5 years older than Natsu and the others, and he was a little more mentally mature.
On the surface, Laxus and Thor are followers, but in fact they are just another name for the team that organizes a group to do tasks, and only the second middle school boy like Fillid and the withdrawn character of Abba Greene will take a follower at a time, in contrast, Pygusrow joins more because he thinks it's fun.
"But I seem to have seen him go out yesterday, so I should have gone on a mission, right?"
Kira frowned and said, "Do a mission at this time?" Although the game has nothing to do with him, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care at all, right? ”
"Who knows?"
Originally, at the time of the harvest festival, Laxus would organize the Thor to set off a civil strife, and in order to seize power, they did not hesitate to take the guild members and the innocent citizens of Magnolia as hostages, which was simply mad.
But now because of the Demon Dao Conference that Kira has raised, Laxus's plan to seize power is stillborn, and what's more, he hasn't even passed the preliminary round, and he hasn't squeezed into the top 16.
Although everyone knows that this ranking is very watery, outsiders don't know it! Of the five S-class magicians, he didn't make it to the semifinals, and those who don't know may think that Laxus is not worthy of the name.
"The Great Age of Genes"
For Laxus, it was a shame that he did not pass the preliminary round, and it was completely unknown what he would do after suffering a series of blows.
"I just hope he doesn't do anything too much...... Kira sighed, turned to Maklov, and decided to share his concerns with him, "probably not, after all, Laxus is not a bad person by nature." ”
After listening to Kira's worries, Marklov said with a solemn face: "Kira, you must not tell me about this matter!" ”
Kira nodded silently, and thought to herself, 'Sure enough, is the president also troubled by Laxus's rebellion?' Now that things are happening as they were in the original story, will Laxus be able to recognize his mistakes and change his ways? ’
"Actually, Laxus was sent on a mission by me!"
Kira: "??!
”
Seeing the shock in Kira's eyes, Maklov nodded with satisfaction: 'Can't think of it, right? You kid has that kind of expression sometimes! Now you know the old man's methods, right? ’
"You heard it right! I sent him, because this matter is more involved and needs to be done in secret, so I didn't tell anyone else! ”
"Wait...... Wait a minute...... What are you talking about? Things turned out unexpectedly, and Kira stammered, "You said you sent out Laxus?" ”
"That's right!" Maklov nodded.
Kira still couldn't believe it: "It's okay if you lie to me, I can be deceived by you, and the smile will pass, but when you go home, in the face of the empty house, don't sit on the sofa alone and wipe your tears......"
Maklov: "......"
Why don't you know that you are so eloquent on weekdays?
"That's right," Maklov coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "According to the news from the Senate, the Dark Guild has been moving a lot recently, so I specially sent Laxus out to investigate this matter." ”
Kira's eyes widened in disbelief, "Nani? Going to spy on the Dark Guild alone? Laxus did it so ...... Such a dangerous thing? ”
Is this still that Laxus?
"In order not to be discovered by the people of the Dark Guild, I deliberately divided the event of the Demon Dao Conference into six days, and also invited reporters to come over and hype it up, just to divert the attention of the magic world to this side, so that Laxus can act secretly!"
Kira suddenly realized, shocked and a little excited: "So, the fact that Laxus didn't pass the preliminary round is also ......"
"That's right, he played it on purpose, otherwise with Laxus's familiarity with Filid, how could he fall so easily into his spell trap?" At this time, Maklov chuckled, stroked his beard, and had the posture of an old military strategist, "But even Filid doesn't know about this matter." ”
Kira glanced at the gloomy Filid, nodded silently, yes, if Filid cooperated with Laxus to act, then his acting skills would be too good!
Seriously threatens the throne of the "best actor in the demon tail"!
"But how did you convince him?"
Kira still has one last point of puzzlement, assuming that what Marklov said is true, why did Laxus agree, he had told himself that he would set the decisive battle at the Harvest Festival!
Marklov: "Hahaha, it was ......"
Three days ago, at the house of Maklov.
"What? Do you want me to give up this contest and go to the dark guild where I don't know where? Laxus shouted at Maklov, "I refuse!" Why should I promise you such a thing? ”
"Laxus, calm down!" "Listen to me, those dark guilds are tricky, and once they are completely formed, it will be a serious disaster for the wizarding world!" You are the best person to execute this matter, and only you can do it! ”
Laxus said disdainfully, "What's the matter with me?!" Did you know that I've been waiting for this day for a long time! The 'Fairy Tail First Demon Path Tournament' held this time is the time for Kira and I to completely separate the winners and losers! ”
Maklov was silent for a while, and then said, "Laxus, this conference is organized by Kira, are you really convinced?" ”
"Old man, you...... What do you mean? ”
"If you want to defeat him completely, you should set your own rules! Why follow the rules he has set? Like a demagogic demon, Maklov's voice was seductive, "You have to think clearly, do you really want to participate in that kind of game-like competition?" ”
Laxus looked at his grandfather in disbelief, as if he had known him on the first day: "What are you talking about?" Of course I ......"
"Under the rules he has set, you will be like a kid playing a game, all the way through, happily accepting the opponents and victories he has arranged for you, and waiting until the last day to get the chance to fight him."
Speaking of this, Maklov's tone suddenly became heavy, and he asked in a loud voice: "You are Laxus, when do you need this kind of handout?!" ”
Laxus was silent for a moment, he didn't know why his grandfather would say such a degrading thing, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense: "But...... If I leave like this, won't I throw in the towel? ”
"How so?" As if he had heard a big joke, Maklov said with a strange expression, "Why do you think that?" ”
"Everyone knows that apart from the old man, the strongest magician of Fairy Tail must be Gildas! While they are still competing for the false title of 'Demon Tail's Strongest', you are running for the stability of the magical world, isn't this much more noble than them? ”
Sensing that Laxus's heart was a little shaken, Maklov struck while the iron was hot and continued: "The pattern needs to be opened up a little, think about it, and when they are holding that 'trophy' and ready to show it off in front of you, you can say it directly."
'Is that something worth fighting for?' I've long since lost sight of it! Where did I go, you ask? I took advantage of your family to solve the dark guild that made both the old man and the council feel troublesome! ’
In this case, isn't it much more mature than them? ”
Laxus's eyes lit up, and he sneered: "Sounds pretty good!" I promised! ”
Maklov nodded in satisfaction.
Laxus smiled and gave Marklov a complicated look.
"Old man, don't learn from that Kira guy in the future, the acting is too fake!"
