Chapter 706: Neinhardt: Back then, I was also a magic master......
July 4, X786, it is a day to remember.
After that, there was a legend of the "Red-Haired Demon" in the territory of the Fiore Kingdom!
Speaking of Fiore's territory, there are actually not a few legends or famous characters with colors, such as the Black White Maiden, the Black Dragon of the World, the Jade Princess, the Cyan Pegasus, the Yellow Hair Halo and the like, and one or two more red-haired demons are nothing.
The Great Demon Fighting Exercise has been carried out so far, and this is the first four-person battle in which both sides are very strong.
Needless to say, Kira and Elusa, a "sage" and a "fairy queen", have long been famous in Fiore, and the guild of "Emperor's Shield" has attracted much attention since the first day of the competition, and every magician who participates, even if the audience doesn't know them before, can tell how strong they are from their performance.
Therefore, the audience knows that this clash between the two guilds of "Fairy Tail" and "Emperor's Shield" will be more shocking than the previous seven two-player battles.
The previous two-player battles were either a crushing win by one side, or the rookies pecked each other, even if it was yesterday's "Fairy Tail" VS "Snake Scales", there was a duel with a dove on the field, because of the influence of another wizard Toby, in their opinion, it was closer to two against one, rather than two against two.
Only this one is the real two-man battle between four magicians with the strength of the "Holy Ten"!
Hearing Kira's invitation to fight, Elusa couldn't help but smile, and her long-lost competitiveness surged at the same time, and her whole body was full of enthusiasm.
"It's on fire, isn't it?"
"yes!"
The familiar words made Elusa's eyes full of battle intent for a moment, and Neinhardt, who was hiding behind Brightman and Madman, saw this scene and was immediately shocked.
This look ...... This look ......
He's so familiar!
Think back to 10 years ago...... (The following is Neinhardt's Memories Kill)
When I was a child, I was always a dissolute, dashing, sought after by my younger brother, worshiped by beautiful women, and called "someone else's child" by uncles and aunts in ten miles and eight villages.
Having just come of age at the age of eighteen, he was young and vigorous, and under the influence of a traveling merchant, he had always longed for poetry and distance in his heart, dreaming of one day leaving the town, leaving his hometown, going to the romantic kingdom of Fiore, and then falling in love with a gentle woman, getting married and having children......
Suddenly, one day, a woman came to the door, saying that the empire had taken a fancy to my magic and wanted to recruit me to contribute to the empire.
That woman is very beautiful, graceful and luxurious, ***, and she has a lot of potential at first glance, but these are not enough to impress a man with a dream in his chest.
For me at that time, only romance in this world was worth everything I wanted to pursue, and everything else was bullshit!
Of course, romance here mainly refers to beautiful poetry, distant places with infinite possibilities, unattainable and even absurd dreams, and vigorous and undying love.
How can a big man give up real treasures for the sake of such mundane things as money and power? So I didn't hesitate to turn down the woman's invitation.
Now that I think about it, maybe it was the boldest and craziest decision I've ever made in my life!
It wasn't until the terrifying magic of the other party pressed me to the ground, and that cold gaze made me unable to move a finger, that I finally understood the meaning of "imperial conscription" in the woman's mouth, and finally understood the difference in strength between myself and her, and understood that there was a difference between a magician and a magician.
How can it be!
How could there be such a powerful magician!
Is the world really that big?! Is the distance you are looking forward to so far away?!
The moment the wand was inserted into the floor in front of me, only three centimeters away from my eyes, I was completely disillusioned with ...... Completely enlightened!
Yes, money and power are indeed not enough to shake poetry, distance, dreams and love in one
The status of a man's heart, but life can!
At that moment, my future life became clear, and my goal became to die for the empire!
If you think about it carefully, even if there is no poetry and distance, no dreams and love, and no romance, as long as you can contribute your strength to the empire, it is a very good life......
Ten years have passed, and I have almost completely forgotten what I longed for back then, and the only thing I remember is the face and the look that changed my life.
And now, I have finally fulfilled half of my dream - I have come to the kingdom of Fiore in Yin Shugar.
On the second day of the Great Demon Fight, I saw a girl who was seven points similar to the woman at the beginning, both in face and in her eyes.
I know that the maiden is the daughter of that woman, named Elusa, who is a very popular magician of the younger generation in the kingdom of Fiore.
But what I didn't expect was that on the fourth day, I was paired with this girl.
(End of Memory Kill)
"That's the look! How similar! How terrible! Should I say that I really deserve to be a mother and daughter......
Seeing the change in Elusa's gaze, Neinhart wanted to cry without tears, her legs shook involuntarily, and her heart was seven points timid.
He only felt as if he had gone back to ten years ago, back to the day when he was beaten, persecuted, and sold his labor by Erin, and thus subverted his original worldview and common sense of magic.
"Am I being defeated by a red-haired woman again?!"
Neinhardt's eyes widened, and he muttered, "No...... No......"
"What's wrong with that guy? Why do you look like you're scared??"
Naturally, the change in her opponent did not escape Elusa's attention, but she didn't know the inside story, and suddenly became suspicious, looked at Kira and Jacob and asked, "Am I that scary?"
As he spoke, he blinked his big bright eyes in confusion.
"Aren't you scary, don't you know in your heart?"
Kira grumbled and pointed to some people in the guild position who were watching here, "Natsu and Gray must have unique opinions on this issue."
Elusa puffed out her chest, facing the sunlight above her head, and said confidently, "Natsu and Gray...... I guess the answer must be "no"!"
"That...... I don't think so......
Elusa was taken aback, "Huh?? Why?? We have a good relationship!
」
"Are you serious......!"
Kira smiled, knowing that he was powerless to correct Elusa's self-perception,
"What do you think?"
The two looked at Jack Bu on the other side at the same time.
Jacob: "......"
You ask me this, how can I, a foreigner, know!
"It's not scary!
You're not scary at all!
」
After a moment of silence, Jacob said slowly, "A young, beautiful, and powerful magician like you should be admired, respected, and reliable in the hearts of your companions!"
The old guy is pretty good at sycophants......
Kira looked at Jack Bu, who had a strong desire to survive, her eyes flickered, and she said in her heart: It's really a professional! I must have done a lot of homework beforehand, this answer...... Almost every word is scraped from a code dictionary!
"You've won a prize."
Elusa was really satisfied with Jacob's answer, and smiled modestly, "That's right, Kira! If you wait a minute, remember to show mercy to your men!"
In and out of words, he is full of confidence in Kira's strength.
Jacob froze for a moment, hesitated, and said, "No...... That one...... If you can, can you just stop fighting?"
His voice grew quieter and quieter until it was inaudible.
Do you want to be so cowardly?
"Of course it's impossible!"
Kira was about to complain, but Elusa replied first, "You also said that I was a reliable companion, right? There's nothing more reliable than winning this game!"
Jacob: "......"
Now, I'm shooting myself in the foot......
