Evin, Layla, and Grame walking up the stairs......

After a short time, the three of them walked to the end of the stairs, and what caught the eyes of the three of them was a huge statue and an architectural style that looked like a temple and exuded an endless divine atmosphere!

At the end of this row of statues, there is a huge door that exudes an ancient atmosphere and powerful magic.

The mere standing of that door exudes an endless sense of oppression......

After all, this door is big enough for an adult dragon to pass through it, and its enormity can be imagined......

"Let's go~"

Yi Wen looked at the countless statues in front of her, the mysterious door, and a certain figure hiding next to the door, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then walked straight towards the door.

"Lei, Miss Layla, this is ......"

Compared with the indifferent Yiwen, Grammé was indescribably shocked at the moment, she looked at the sculpture, and the huge door, and felt that she was extraordinarily small, and even, looking at these huge things, once made Grame have a phobia of giants.

"It's okay Limeme~"

Layla stroked Glamé's arm and gently soothed Glamé.

"Hmm."

After being reassured by Layla, Grame calmed down, and with Layla, she walked through the countless statues towards the huge door.

As Layla and Glame were advancing, Ewen had already walked to the gate of the great eclipse, and after looking up and down at the perfect work of art in front of him, he turned his head to look at a figure hiding in the corner, and whispered, "Come out!" I've found you. ”

"Hehe, yes, the Magister of Fairy Tail, this observation makes the old man admire."

When Yi Wen's words fell, the short figure that had been hiding in the shadow of the corner walked out, and as the figure came to the light, the whole picture of the short figure also appeared in Yi Wen's eyes at a glance.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that His Majesty the King of the dignified Fiore Kingdom actually knew about the Magister Guild of our Fairy Tail, which really flattered me~"

Yi Wen looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was wearing a luxurious dress, short but majestic, with a serious face and gray hair, and smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Yiwen had already recognized the identity of the man in front of her, this middle-aged man was none other than the current king of the Fiore Kingdom. E. Fiore......

It's just that Yiwen didn't expect that Old Thoma would be waiting for them in front of the Eclipse Gate in advance, and he seemed to know him.

"Boy, I know the sign on the back of your hand, after all, ......"

Old Thoma looked at the sign on the back of Ewen's hand, his brow furrowed.

"Huh?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yi Wen also frowned, he was thinking about whether the fairy tail had provoked His Majesty the King in front of him.

"After all, I love to watch your weekly Fairy Tail Tournament weekly! Sure enough, the Magister still has to fight each other and compete~"

"By the way, I'm going to hold an Ishgar Continent-level Demon Fighting Competition! I wonder if you're interested in participating?! ”

At this moment, the king of the Fiore Kingdom, Old Thomas, seemed to have seen a fan, looking at Ewen chattering and asking.

[Sudden Mission: Participate in the Demon Fighting Martial Arts at the level of the Ishgar Continent and reward a ten-year mission medal.] 】

Yi Wen originally planned to refuse, until the sound of the system task sounded in his head, although Yi Wen also wanted to refuse, but who let the old Thoma, the old guy, tempt him with the Ren Xun Medal~

"As long as you are not afraid that we will tear down the king's capital, we will accompany you to the end!"

Ewen took back the words she had prepared, and watched old Thoma whisper.

"Great......"

Old Thoma breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Yi Wen's words, originally he was afraid that the people of the demon tail would not participate, with Yi Wen's assurance, he was a little more confident in his heart, after all, although others may not know, but he knew Yi Wen, in order to better watch the weekly magazine of the fairy tail ring match, he specially asked the Magic Council to introduce all the magisters registered with the fairy tail to him......

Therefore, Old Thoma knew Ewen Belcellion's status in the Fairy Tail Guild, and indeed in the entire continent of Ishgar.

Old Thoma still remembers what Councilor Ajma and Councilor Rob said about Ewen at the time: "Although Ewen is very young, even if the rest of the current active Saint Ten Magisters are all combined, they may not be able to beat him, Ewen Belcellion, he can already be called the magister standing at the peak of the entire Ishgar Continent......"

In fact, what Ajma said was true, with Ewen's current strength, only the god Serena who was at his peak could give him a little trouble......

But with the current time period, I don't know how many of the eight dragon slaying demon crystals in Serena's body have been gathered~

"By the way, do you know what you need to prepare for the competition?"

Thoma seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ewen to ask for advice.

"Ah, this ......"

Ewen was silent after listening to Thoma's words, this question is not easy for him to answer, in their fairy tail, a game often only needs two people who don't like each other's eyes is enough, and there is no need for even a field in the case of a sideline.

But this answer is obviously very unprofessional, so Yiwen chose to remain silent.

"His Majesty Thoma~"

Just as Thoma is like a fairy tail fan, asking Ewen questions, Layla and Grame finally walk to the door.

"Hoo ......"

In this regard, Yiwen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he looked at Layla and Grame in dresses, and his expression flashed a trace of helplessness, wearing such a gorgeous outfit, of course it was difficult to walk.

"Ahem, well, you're Layla from House Hatfilia, right? I already know the specifics......"

Old Thoma staged a play in front of Yi Wen's eyes, what is called 'Sichuan Opera Changing Face', Old Thomas, who originally looked like Yi Wen was still a fan, immediately tightened his cheeks after Layla came, his expression gradually became serious, and there was a bit of majesty between his eyebrows, after all, his old Thoma is the king, and it doesn't matter if there is no shelf in front of the world's strongest magister, in front of the merchant family of Hatfilia, the majesty must still be majestic, otherwise it will not be able to convince the public.

It's a pity that Old Thoma doesn't know that Layla is also a powerful magister, and in terms of star spirit magic, Layla can be said to be the most powerful star spirit magister in the entire Ishgar continent, and even in the whole world.

"Now that you know, I won't say more......"

Layla just smiled at the faintly arrogant old Thomas, and said nothing more.

"However, although I have learned about the fact that you need this door, I still have to tell you about the specific matters, the Eclipse Gate is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by our Fiore family, but in fact, even our Fiore family does not know what this treasure is for, and we have not even been able to open it so far......" Old Thoma said this, paused, his expression was a little dazed, "We have actually studied the Eclipse Gate in every generation, but the final result is, The door in front of you is probably just a statue, a door that can never be opened! So give it a try, but don't think you'll be able to open the door. ”

Old Thoma is actually enlightening Layla, after all, Layla spent so much money and energy to borrow the Eclipse Gate from him, but in the end he couldn't open it, so how broken Layla's heart will be, Thoma knows even if he doesn't want to, so before Layla tries to open the Eclipse Gate, Old Thoma first said the ugly words in front, so that Layla's heart doesn't have too much pressure.

"I got it......"

"Thank you for your enlightenment and comfort."

Layla smiled at Old Thoma's words, and walked straight up to Ewen.

"This is His Majesty Thoma, the King of the Kingdom of Fiore, and when His Majesty Thoma lent us the Eclipse Gate, he attached a condition, that is, he wanted him to be able to observe the ...... when we opened the door."

Layla tells Ewen why old Thoma was waiting for them at the Eclipse Gate.

"I see."

After listening to Layla's words, Ewen nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

Actually, Ewen didn't care at all whether Thoma was present at the moment when the eclipse door was opened, and Ewen vaguely remembered that in the original book, when Layla opened the eclipse door, Thoma was also present.

"Hoo......" Layla slowly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ewen didn't care, she retreated to Grammé's side, looked at her maid Glame and said with a smile, "Gramé is ready to remember the time." ”

"Yes, Miss Layla."

After listening to Layla's words, Grame took out a magic pocket watch, which marked the time, with the continuous rotation of the minute and second hands of the pocket watch, the time passed slowly minute by minute, and Grame stared at the pocket watch in her hand with both eyes, obviously she had timed, but she was still not at ease, afraid that the pocket watch would suddenly malfunction, so she watched the passage of time with the naked eye.

As for Layla, at this moment, she put the thirteen keys to the 12 signs of the desert island in front of her, knelt on the ground, closed her eyes and rested, adjusting the magic in her body for the last moment when the time came.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, accompanied by the continuous consumption of time, whether it was Gramé, or the king of the Kingdom of Fiore, Thomas Brown. E. Fiore, all nervously holding their breath.

Only Ewen and Layla remained calm.

"Jingle Bell Bell~"

In the last minute, the clock ticked to 0:00:00 and the alarm clock went off.

"It's ...... now"

Grame turned to Layla and whispered.

"Shine! Zodiac star spirits!! ”

Layla clasped her hands together and whispered to the thirteen keys to the zodiac in front of her.

Next Second......

With bursts of dazzling light, the thirteen keys instantly emitted a brilliant brilliance and set up the huge eclipse door in front of them......

At the same time, the full moon that radiated a soft light in the sky above the Kingdom of Fiore was suddenly obscured by endless shadows, and bursts of ominous magic shrouded the sky over the kingdom.
