Chapter 645: Gloomy Gray
"Huh?!
Are you telling the truth? ”
"That Jelf is actually in Magnolia??"
Fairy Tail, Guild Tavern.
There was an exclamation in the group, followed by a succession of gasping "hiss".
A group of magicians gather to gossip about the latest gossip news in the town.
"Really...... It's incredible!
”
"That's the legendary Dark Wizard, the guy who created countless demons! It's always dangerous to live around us like this......"
The fact that Jelf settled in Magnolia was finally not hidden from the gossip news, and was shaken out by an unknown person.
In the entire guild, except for the president and those S-class magicians, only Lucy's team knew about the relationship between Jelf and Mebis and Ocast, so everyone else was surprised by this matter.
"That's the legendary very evil sorcerer, right? Will he suddenly go on a killing spree one day? Will we be able to stop it then? ”
"It's horrible here! I decided to start working like crazy in a few days and try to stay away from Magnolia! ”
"Pull it down, I don't believe you can have this kind of determination!"
Instead of sitting in his exclusive chair, Natsu sat in a normal seat, next to Lucy.
In his opinion, the chair was used to show off with opponents such as Gray and Gajiru, and it was more comfortable to sit in an ordinary seat than to be special, so after showing off, he threw the keel-decorated chair aside.
"Gerf's words...... Is that the one who created the Gate of Hades? ”
To this day, Natsu still doesn't have much idea about Gerf's existence, only that the other party is someone who is very important to the original president, Mebis, and Orcaste.
With his IQ and emotional intelligence, he still can't fully understand what kind of complex relationship 'cohabitation' and 'childbirth' are. However, after comparing the people around him, he speculated that it was probably similar to his relationship with Lucy.
"Yes, that's him."
"That means it's the enemy!"
Low EQ doesn't mean bad memory, Natsu hasn't forgotten the sudden attack on the guild's 'Gate of Hades' on Sirius Island.
The reason why he was able to accept Preshito's return to 'Fairy Tail' was due to the fact that the other party was originally a guild member and that the guild did not lose much in that battle, but Jerf really couldn't do it.
Since you attack the guild, you are the enemy! No one can let it go!
"Although the members of the 'Gates of Hades' are demons created by Jelf, it is Maldo who created and manages this guild, and their actions have nothing to do with Jelf."
Mardo Gill?
Natsu thought for two seconds before remembering the demon, who had been captured by Kira and sliced after defeating him by himself and Gray on Sirius Island.
"But if it weren't for Jelf, there wouldn't be this group of demons, would there? So in the end, it's his fault! ”
Gray's face was a little ugly, and when he mentioned the 'Gate of Hades', he thought of his father, the 'Book of End' that was still in Kira's hands, Daliora, his ruined hometown, and Uru, who died in front of his eyes.
The mood became depressed.
Because it was Jelf who created Daliora, Gray's hometown, relatives, and master would die, so if there is anyone in this guild who is most disgusted with Jelf, it is undoubtedly him!
In the past, after knowing the relationship between Jelf and Mebis, he could still soberly separate the two, because at that time Jerf was still the emperor of the Albarez Empire and had the ambition to encroach on Yin Xiugar, so they were still clearly hostile.
But now, they are going shopping in Magnolia on a date and living together!
Living together!
Is this an attempt to ignore the mistakes you have made? Do you think that those who have died and suffered because of the demons created by Jelf can turn the page so easily because of the sentence 'The mistakes they committed have nothing to do with me, the creator'?
How is that possible?!
How could I accept such a thing so easily?!
He promised his father that he would solve the root cause of the demon with his own hands, and the end was Natsu, who didn't know anything, so he could leave it alone, but Jelf, the creator, couldn't escape the blame!
But...... Gray can't beat Jelf!
And with Mebis and Ocaste here, it may not be possible to get a good result if you go directly to the door.
After thinking about it, Gray could only temporarily paralyze himself with statements such as "Daliola, not Jelf", "his parents and teachers don't want to live in revenge", and "if Jelf kills on a killing spree, Magnoria's people will be dangerous" - although he doesn't know how long he can be paralyzed.
"Damn! It's annoying!
Keep drinking ......"
After pouring half a barrel of wheat wine in one gulp, a noticeable flush appeared on Gray's face.
At this time, only by getting drunk and unconscious with Kana and other drinking friends can you relieve the pain in your heart a little.
"Mistress Gray......"
Jubia, who was on the side, saw that Gray was in a bad mood, and stayed by his side every step of the way, his eyes full of worry.
Kira looked at Gray in front of him, who was drinking to kill his sorrows, and Natsu, who was so well-behaved that he didn't quarrel with him today, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in his chest.
In a sense, Natsu and Gray are different, and Gray is closer to the 'protagonist template' than Natsu:
When he was a child, the village was destroyed, the teacher died because of himself, and the senior brothers and sisters developed separately and had a good future;
Now I have people around me who like each other, teammates who can be entrusted with their backs, and elders who guide their lives;
The magic used inherited the legacy of the master and the father, respectively, but the cold ability has a fiery heart, and there is a big trick in his hand that can fight the enemy desperately......
In the past, he was burdened with deep hatred and hatred, but after being successively educated by Master, President, and Father, he established the correct three views, and was led to a brighter future, with a great, bright, and righteous life goal......
What an abundant life!
If you put it in the magic world, it's a proper protagonist!
In contrast, Natsu just can't find his father, and he can't catch up with the story at all, so it's better to shoot "The Magical Adventures of the Bankrupt Daughter" with Lucy to be attractive! Or make a collective debut with Gajiru and them in the combination of the 'First Dragon Slayer Wizard', which is also much better than now!
The rest of the people also seemed to notice Gray's emotions, although they might not be able to understand the various reasons, but they must have seen that he was not in the right state, so they did not continue to delve into the topic, but just chatted casually for a few words and then dispersed, or pulled the topic to the 'Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts' three months later.
"The Great Demon Fights and Fights...... This kind of activity is not only popular in recent years! ”
"At this point in time a long time ago, in July, there was a war called the 'Dragon King Festival', which was the prototype of the 'Great Demon Fighting Exercise' that the Fiore royal family is going to hold now!"
In order to let the guild's magicians know more about the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, Kira began to tell the story of the 'Dragon King Sacrifice' in the crowd.
"Dragon King Sacrifice? What is that? Is it OK to eat? ”
"Idiot! How could it be! ”
"Does Kira know something? Let's talk about it...... Sounds like a lot of fun!
”
Under the expectant gaze of the magicians, Kira moistened her throat with tea, and forcibly grabbed Flosius and held her in her arms, and prepared melon seeds and fruit snacks on the table next to her, and then slowly spoke.
"It was a war that had taken place in this land, in this kingdom. Speaking of which, the number of casualties caused by the Dragon King Sacrifice was tens or even hundreds of times greater than the combined number of the previous two trade wars, because of the dragon's participation in this war. ”
"Dragons and dragons fighting, humans fighting people, people fighting dragons, countless kingdoms, magicians, and dragons have been involved in it, and it has lasted for nearly a hundred years!"
In a clear and seductive voice, Kira slowly tells the audience half-truths and half-truths.
"The story of it all starts with a dragon who wants to be friends with humans......"
