Chapter 475: Presitto's commission
More than half an hour later, Laxus brought back Makarov and Volod, and the two old men looked solemn and looked equally surprised by the sudden visit to Presito.
It is worth mentioning that when the two passed by Kira, he smelled a fresh smell of perfume.
This taste...... It's the maid café on East Street...... Ahem, where did the hell get this smell?
My gut tells Kira that they've just gone to a very bad place!
"Two old bad guys!"
'Fairy Tail' second floor conference room.
On a simple wooden white long table, there are nine delicate white porcelain teacups, the dark red black tea is steaming, and the white mist of birds and birds rises from the teacups, and a unique fragrance is emanated.
Three elderly men, an uncle with bandages, and several young, energetic, handsome and beautiful teenagers and girls sat around the table, and those who didn't know thought they were having a tea party.
Preshito and Volod began to greet some old friends, and Makarov would say a few words from time to time, and his words were full of some emotion and remembrance of the changes of time and the passage of time.
This kind of lifeless topic is not interesting to discuss by a few young people, even Gildas, who is a little older than a few people, has always regarded himself as a young man. This young man has few interests, only traveling, drinking and beautiful women, sometimes with the world in his heart, and sometimes with the beauty of the world.
"Why are we here too?"
It was clearly the first time Kana had experienced anything like this, and her eyes were turning to the left and right, looking slightly nervous.
Originally, she also wanted to drink some wine to soothe her tense nerves, but everyone else drank tea, and she would be too maverick if she drank alone, and this atmosphere was obviously not like being able to drink well, so she could only try her best to suppress the wine worms in her stomach.
Mira, who was sitting next to her, whispered, "Seems to say that there is something important?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with this sudden visit of the second generation?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Laxus clasped his hands in front of his chest, his expression was three points funny, three points confident, and four points nonchalant, "I just don't know what it is......
"Could it be that the Kingdom of Fiore has been beaten by a neighboring country? Or has the Senate been attacked by the Dark Guild again? It's not going to be a meteorite from the sky, the end of the world, right? ”
Kira made several speculations in a row, but they were all rejected by several others.
"Can you make some reasonable guesses? What kind of mess is this?! ”
"What do you mean by mess? You want to hang your hands like Gildas, right? ”
"I remember Kira, didn't you have a lot of intelligence sources? Is there no idea what the purpose of this meeting is? ”
"Can this be the same? I haven't planted an undercover agent next to Lao Pu now......"
The quarrel between several people became louder and louder, especially Kira and Laxus, who raised each other's bars when they disagreed, and Makarov was really afraid that they would just start the table when they got angry, and immediately interrupted their conversation.
"Enough! Quiet down! ”
Several people had no choice but to sit back in their seats in regret.
The three old men sat at the top, Makarov, as the president, naturally sat in the middle C position, and Volod and Preshito, although they were older, were outsiders, sitting on his left and right sides.
The six S-class magicians sat on two sides according to the time they became male and female, with Gildath, Kira, and Laxus on one side; The other time it was Elusa, Mira, and Kana.
"What the hell is the matter with your visit to the guild this time?"
Makarov looked at Preshito with unkind eyes, and he asked very directly, like his color center, without half concealment.
"From what I know of you, if it weren't for some special reason, you wouldn't have shown up......"
Preshito nodded, and Masasei said, "I want to issue a commission to 'Fairy Tail'!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Issuing a commission to 'Fairy Tail'? You're really big-hearted...... Should I say that he really deserves to be the boss for decades?
"What are you kidding?! A man who betrayed Fairy Tail actually issued a commission to the guild? Do you think we'll accept it! ”
Elusa slapped the table on her feet in a rare move, and looked at Preshito with uncontrollable anger in her expression.
】
Preshito's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The so-called magic guild is, in the final analysis, an organization that uses magic to help others solve problems, as long as the publisher's remuneration is sufficient, and the entrusted content does not cross the bottom line of the magician, it can be established." ”
"Watching people serve food is not what a proper magic guild should do."
Laxus snorted coldly, "'Fairy Tail' is different! You should know! ”
"I know! So what I'm going to post is a commission that you're sure to take! ”
He didn't continue to preach, but directly threw out the conclusion, as if he was completely sure that the guild would take over the commission, and the appearance of swearing made Laxus frown.
"With your strength and erudition, what else can't be done?"
Makarov spoke, he was not a reckless person, so he did not directly refuse or agree, but was ready to ask Preshito's true purpose before making plans.
However, Presilito's next words surprised everyone present.
"How much do you know about the Albarez Empire?"
As soon as these words came out, Makarov's expression changed instantly, and the expression of Volod beside him became solemn.
As the leaders of the 'Yin Xiugar Four Heavenly Kings' and the 'Fairy Tail', they knew more than Elusa and the others, so they naturally knew how dangerous the next conversation was.
Since the Albarez Empire is specifically mentioned, what Precito brought will not be a casual commission, it is a matter of diplomacy between two continents and two countries, and it is not something that one of their magic guilds can easily decide.
"Albarez Empire...... What is that? Kana asked.
"It's the Magic Empire of the Western Continent."
Gildas's face is not very good-looking, he has traveled all over the world over the years, and even Kirtina has been there, so naturally he can find out about the Albarez Empire.
"I've been there once, and although I haven't gone too deep because of the levels, from what I experienced at that time, this magical empire has a large population, and the average number of magicians is much stronger than that of the Fiore Kingdom."
"I heard that this empire will unify the military management of hundreds of magic guilds of magicians who once appeared on that continent, and it is an extremely dangerous place!"
"Hundreds of magic guilds?!"
Preshito added: "There are also a slightly more precise number, 730, more than 730 magic guilds!!" ”
In addition to Kira, Kana, Mira, Elusa, Laxus and others were all shocked, and even Gildas, who had been prepared for a long time, was extremely shocked by this.
"730 Magic Guilds ??!!"
"Really?! There aren't so many guilds in the entire Yin Xiugar, right?! ”
"Counting the 'Fairy Tail', Yin Xiugar is probably about 500 magic guilds."
Seeing that everyone was immersed in shock and did not come back to their senses for a long time, Makarov asked the question in everyone's hearts: "Albarez Empire...... What's wrong? ”
When Preshito said 'Albarez Empire', he had a bad premonition!
"From what I have learned from my travels during this time, it seems that since half a year ago, this country has been preparing its military and is ready to move, and there are signs of attacking the Fiore Kingdom again!"
"This can't be!!"
After listening to Preshitto's words, Makarov's first reaction was shock, followed by doubt.
The reason why it is said to be 'again' is because the opponent attacked once four years ago, in x781, but the attack was canceled halfway through.
The official reason given was that the attack had failed, and the truth that Makarov and the others had gotten was that the other party was afraid of weapons in the hands of the Senate, such as the magic elf power.
And now that the Magic Council is intact, and the magic elf power can continue to be used, those weapons that have not been shown but are extremely powerful, the Council still doesn't know about them in private!
This is the biggest reason why Makarov does not believe this news.
In his opinion, in the past four years, these weapons that suppressed the Albarez Empire were still there, and both the strength of this country and the strength of the major magic guilds were stronger than before, and it was impossible for the other party to choose this time to attack.
"The Senate will not sit idly by!"
"If the magic spirit power can force them back once, it can force them back a second time!"
The Magic Guild forbade participation in the War of Nations, a treaty that was explicitly stipulated and signed by the three continents after the Second Trade War a hundred years ago, and even the Albarez Empire could not ignore it.
Makarov is confident that once the other side attacks the Fiore Kingdom, the Senate will definitely help.
But......
Preshito shook his head and said, "It's useless! You should be clear, Makarov, the goal of the Albarez Empire has never been the Kingdom of Fiore, but me...... It's you! ”
"It's Fairy Tail!"
"That's the thing, to be exact!!"
That thing I accidentally made......
