Chapter 623: Dragon's Graveyard
At the foot of the mountain, Kira let go of her magic perception, followed the magic particles in the wind, and led Natsu and the others to the place where the magic was most intense nearby.
"Really...... Why doesn't Natsu know what artificial respiration is?! The response is so slow! I'm going to suffer a lot in the future! ”
In the end, Natsu didn't have time to use the 'dragon artificial respiration' on Lucy, causing Kira to complain constantly, "I still want to record this beautiful scene!" ”
The loss of such good photographic footage is a huge loss, both for Kira herself and for the rest of the guild.
"It's strange that he'll know!"
Gray glanced at Natsu and Lucy, who were following behind him, and complained, "By the way, how much do you want to see the two of them having an affair?!" This behavior is almost like a pervert......"
"To say that my art-filled behavior is perverted?! You're so embarrassed to be a guy who runs naked in the guild without clothes all day! ”
Kira looked at Gray with disdain and pouted, "Also, I'm just accepting someone's long-term commission to record their love process, and I'm working!" ”
"Huh?! No way?! Job?! ”
Gray was shocked and couldn't wait to ask, "How could someone send such a commission?!" This character is too bad, isn't it?! Who the hell is it?! ”
It's me......
"It's Mira!"
Kira didn't hesitate to find someone to blame, anyway, Gray wouldn't really ask about this kind of thing, even if he did...... With Mira's character, he may admit it directly, and then Lagray eats melons together.
"Sorry! When I didn't say that sentence just now! ”
Gray didn't doubt Kira's words, because after thinking about it, he found that Mira usually always ate Natsu and Lucy's melons in the guild, intentionally or unintentionally, which was simply a big promoter of love.
Looking at it this way, it is reasonable for Mira to issue this kind of commission to eat melons.
"Mira...... It's not a surprise! ”
Behind them, Natsu and Lucy's voices rang out.
"I said, what did you just want to do? Could it be true that you are planning to use artificial respiration on me?! ”
Lucy's face was still a little red, she wasn't really unconscious just now, so when she heard Kira ask Natsu to use artificial respiration, and Natsu really lowered her head, she couldn't lie down in an instant.
"No......"
Natsu blinked, staring blankly at Lucy, who was puffing out of breath and blushing, and felt that her reaction was simply inexplicable, "I didn't want to kiss Lucy!" ”
"Then you don't want to kiss!!"
I don't know why, after hearing Natsu's words, Lucy became even angrier and turned away from him.
Natsu was stunned again: "Ah! Lucy is angry again!! Why?! ”
He cast a look of help to the person next to him, but Elusa was equally puzzled, and her head shook like a rattle: "I don't know! Maybe you feel your legs are sore after walking for so long, right? ”
"Oooh oh?! Then I'll carry you, Lucy!! ”
"No!!"
Looking at this scene, Kira, Gray, Harpy, Wendy, and Xia Lulu were all dumbfounded: "......"
"What the hell is Natsu doing?!"
"Can't you shut up if you can't speak? Silence is also a beautiful quality!! ”
"Well...... That's Natsu! ”
"Anyway, is Elusa-san's EQ so low?"
"Ah, sometimes it is!"
Half a day later, they finally found a mysterious cave.
"It's here! Depending on the concentration of mana and the environment, this is the place we need to find! ”
Kira was the first to walk towards the cave and beckoned everyone to follow, "Let's go!" I've seen dragons more than once, but you've never seen a dragon's graveyard like me, right? ”
The long years have carved this cave deposited in the ground beyond recognition.
The cave is windless, the air is dry, and as far as the eye can see, there is a strong smell of decay in the wind, and the undead spirits of countless dragons linger here, and the remnants of magic and coercion form an oppressive, eerie atmosphere.
Elusa looked around at the stalactites that could be seen everywhere in the cave, and then looked up at the stone wall above her head, which had several protrusions and was dripping, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Judging by the location, this should be directly below the gladiatorial arena, and it has been there for a long time. ”
After going deeper for a while, the vision of several people suddenly widened, and they were finally able to get a glimpse of the depths of the cave.
"We're here!"
"This ...... It's ......"
"What a big bone ......"
"Is it really a dragon's graveyard?!"
"Why are there so many dragon corpses here?"
In the field of vision, the corpses paved the way, and the gray-white powder and skeletons were piled up into countless hills, and the smell of death was everywhere.
According to the few bones that have not been eroded by time and are still well preserved, it can be seen that they were some kind of huge animals before their deaths, these animals have hideous and ugly claws and wings, and they are the supreme overlords who can soar in the sky, gallop across the continent, and dominate an era!
Dragon!
However, at this moment, they have lost their lives, and they no longer have the majesty to rule the world, and their corpses have been consumed by the invisible decomposers, and even the bones have lost their original hardness, becoming extremely fragile, and will turn into pieces at any time, or weathered into the gray powder on the ground.
"Dragon King Festival!"
"Nani?"
Kira explained unhurriedly, "Four hundred years ago, in response to the proposal of 'whether or not to let people and dragons coexist peacefully', the dragons were divided into peace and fighting factions, and the two sides continued to fight for a long time, and those wars were later called 'dragon king sacrifices'! ”
"As for the final winner of the Dragon King Festival...... You all know that, too! ”
"Akunororia!" ×N
"That's right! The cemetery in front of me should have been left behind by a dragon who died in a certain war. ”
Elusa frowned and asked, "Then why is the dragon's graveyard near the royal capital?" Or is it under this gladiatorial arena? It's so close, there's no way the Fiore royal family doesn't know about it, right? ”
"Huh?? Well...... this."
The sudden question caught Kira off guard.
Elusa was right, since the gladiatorial arena was built on top of the dragon's graveyard, then the Fiore royal family should have discovered that there was such a cemetery underground a long time ago!
But the question is, why is this dragon graveyard and the ancient battlefield of the Dragon King Sacrifice near Kulokas? Does the death of these dragons have anything to do with the Fiore royal family?
Kira didn't have a clue either, so she could only speculate for the time being: "Maybe there are opposition dragons attacking the royal family of Fiore, and after a terrible war, the royal family buried the corpses of all the dragons here?" Or maybe the capital of the Fiore Kingdom was built on the ancient battlefield full of dragon corpses? ”
This is not explained much in the original work, and the only role of the Dragon Graveyard is to tell the truth about Akunororia through the Emerald Dragon.
However, now that everyone has fought with Akunororia, and even seen Selene, Kurnuki and other dragons who fled from Ishgar to Kirtina, and know some things about four hundred years ago, they naturally don't need it to provide information.
"If you want to know, you can try to see if you can summon the dragon undead here, but I don't think it's useful to know it......"
Elusa didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, and hammered her right hand into her left palm, as if she had suddenly figured out something: "That's right! There is also a trick to summon the undead!! ”
"I can help with that!!"
Wendy volunteered to stand up, straightening up and looking quite confident, "As long as the spirits of the undead here have not completely dissipated, I should be able to wake them up from their slumber, and then I can find out about the relationship between the war and the Fiore royal family by asking them about it." ”
"That...... Isn't our purpose to dig keels for Naz? ”
However, no one cared about Kira's words, and the group was immersed in the anticipation of summoning the dragon ghost.
"Oh oh oh!! You're amazing, Wendy!! ”
"Then please!"
"I can't wait to know that history!"
"You can dig the keel at any time!" Fairy Tail is an adventurous magic guild, and that's what we want to do! ”
"The ghost of the dragon? I haven't seen it yet! ”
"Dragons killed in battle and ancient kingdoms...... This theme feels like it could be a new chapter. ”
Kira looked at the crowd with excitement on her face, and fell completely silent.
