Chapter 97, the down-and-out fairy tail
It's a world full of magic.
The Kingdom of Fiorlet, a permanently neutral country with a population of over 17 million.
Here, magic and magic items are bought and sold as general goods, and various magic-related items are part of people's daily lives.
Here, too, there is a group of people who use magic to make a living, and for such people, they are usually called: magicians.
The current timeline is: 791 years!
Seven years ago, in 784, there was a very famous Grand Guild of Magus in the kingdom, which could be called the number one in Fiorlet!
Named: [Fairy Tail]!
However, this once the strongest mage guild is now so downtrod that it can't even open the pot.
It turns out that 7 years ago...
The guild elite participates in a trial called the "S-Class Magic Assessment of Sirius Island", but the attack of the black dragon Akuno Lokia, which represents evil and destruction.
Dragons represent the combat power of the world's first echelon, and each head has its own ability characteristics. or carry poison, or create clones, or have thunder, lightning, flames, and so on. Akuno Lokia is an alien black dragon that even all dragons fear.
At present, there are almost no magicians who can match the dragon. Not to mention rivaling the black dragon.
As a result, the elites of the guild [Fairy Tail] bumped into the black dragon, and in the eyes of outsiders, the result can be imagined.
It is rumored that the Heavenly Wolf Island, which is the trial ground of the guild, was completely destroyed by the black dragon.
As all the elites of the guild, including the then three generations of the president, sank into the sea with the entire Sirius Island, there has been no news since.
In this flash, 7 years have passed, and the guild has changed from the "first in line" in the kingdom to the "first in the last place"!
[Fairy Tail], once lively and lively, now the door is full of birds.
The once imposing guild building is now abandoned; The current guild office is located in a "chicken farm" on a barren hill outside the city.
Hundreds of magicians once gathered together, and the momentum was so great! But after that, there is some taste of prosperity and decline; With all the strong men of the guild missing on Sirius Island, the rest of the people and those who should have left are almost gone!
And this has further led to the collapse of the super guild of [Fairy Tail]!
It was stunned to be a hegemon from the kingdom, and it has declined all the way to the point where now as long as it is a guild can come to the door and step on it! It has decayed to the bottom of the level that as long as it is a guild, it can be bullied and humiliated!
But Rao is like this, only the demon tail members who are left with three or two big cats are still gritting their teeth and holding on because of the good memories of the past! The last few people are all firmly convicted and silently waiting for the group of real guild backbones who disappeared 7 years ago to reappear! Waiting for their king's return!
I look forward to them returning to this home, which is not spacious but still warm and clean!
The glory of the past, these few people said, they can not care;
But this home must not fall.
Otherwise, what should we do if we can't find a home after those disappeared family members and friends reappear?
"You must be alive, you must be alive!"
This is the last belief that several people hold onto.
Makarov, who firmly believes in the three generations, Kildas, who believes in the strongest combat power of the guild, Elusa, the queen who believes in her own goblin, and the elite backbones of the guilds such as Natsu, Laxus, Miraj, Rog, Gajiru, Jubia, Kana, Rebi, Lucy, Wendy, etc., firmly believe that these partners are still alive!
I firmly believe that those hard-hitting guys did not fall in the incident of the black dragon's attack on Sky Wolf Island 7 years ago!
After all, those guys are so strong and always perform miracles, how could they fall under the claws of the black dragon "Akuno Lokia"?
Today, the guild is governed by the "Four Generations" of Macao.
Although this is the weakest Demon Tail Guild Leader in history, he has successfully brought the golden sign of [Fairy Tail] from the "strongest guild" among the hundreds of guilds in the kingdom to the "weakest guild"! On the surface, he was the most unsuccessful; But only those who have lived through that turbulent period know that the purpose of the four generations is not easy!
It is no exaggeration to say that this man's exploits are definitely one of the greatest among the presidents of all generations.
I'm afraid it's only under the original generation.
Because of his leading effect, because of his forbearance and humiliation, and because of his persistence, a few people stayed desperately! Only then did the name [Fairy Tail] not be directly cancelled by the Kingdom and Magic Council, so that it can survive to this day!
"Bang..."
In the dilapidated windmill wooden house, the wine glass smashed on the wooden table and made a dull sound, and the four generations who smashed the cup seemed to vent their inner irritability.
"Romeo, hasn't the stinky boy come back yet? And Arzak and Biska, where are the two of them? Hmph, are they pulling Romeo to the town for fun again?! ”
The drunken tone is obviously pretending, and what is hidden in it is a thick helplessness and confusion.
He spontaneously stood up as the fourth generation of purpose, and he was almost the last spiritual pillar of the remaining people.
If even he loses faith, how will others collapse?
"Don't call Macao, calm down..."
The one who spoke out was the president's assistant Wakaba.
Like Macao, they are all old members of [Fairy Tail]. Seven years ago, after all the elites of the guild disappeared in the incident on Sirius Island, he also took the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of maintaining the guild and uniting people's hearts. It is precisely because he and Markao are at the forefront and bear the greatest pressure that there are only a few people left in the guild who can always stand.
"I'm calm, I don't need to be calm anymore! Hmph, you're finding fault, aren't you..."
"It's all said, you need to calm down..."
The cloud-swallowing Wakaba pouted.
Immediately after, the two were noisy and noisy, so lively.
This is also a regular pleasure in suffering.
"Eh, Dolaire, it's time for you to lose weight, look at the people in the family, how slim they are now! You kid, you're a little self-aware, okay? ”
"I also work out every day, haven't you noticed? Look at this muscle..."
But Dolelle's words were utterly pale and powerless.
He used to be a healthy guy; But now he has already boiled himself into a fat pig with a big waist and a round body:
"What would Rebby say if she saw me now?"
Originally, this was just his subconscious self-inquiry.
But as soon as these words came out, the few people in the wooden house, who were still stabbing each other for comfort, immediately quieted down.
The painter stopped painting in his hand, and his right knuckle was almost white; The girl hung her head and bit her lip tightly; The rest of the people were also listless, and the sadness spread instantly.
Because Libby... Their former friends can't come back!
"Libby...!"
"Sister Elusa..."
"Sister Miraj..."
But before they could be immersed in grief, with a bang, the wooden door was vigorously kicked open, and the five figures broke in with arrogant steps that the six relatives did not recognize:
"Yo, why are you so serious at noon? You [Fairy Tail], it's time to pay off the money you owe, right? I don't know what you're doing with this kind of shabby little guild..."
"Hahahaha..."
The five people who came were members of the new guild "Beasts of Dawn".
The Beast of Dawn was originally just a small guild that was not in the limelight; Because [Fairy Tail] suffered a great loss of vitality after the incident on Sirius Island, this small guild took advantage of the situation to take over all the business of Demon Tail in this city and even nearby cities! Take advantage of the situation to seize the position of Demon Tail in this town!
Actually, the strength is very average.
However, such a miscellaneous guild, at the moment, is already an existence that the people of [Fairy Tail] cannot provoke.
The reason why this windmill wooden house can barely survive is that it "depends" on a loan shark funding from the other party!
"Ping Pong..."
"This is the [Fairy Tail] today, how sad!"
"Tsk ha..."
The five of them couldn't get the money, so they smashed it indiscriminately without any scruples! At the same time, the big gulp that should be drunk, the ridicule is also wanton, and the bar sister who should be flirted with is even more stretched out the salty pig's trotters to try to boil oil and water to take advantage!
After bullying the declining little guild of Demon Tail, the five of them will leave.
Of course, don't forget to remind you before leaving:
"Let's talk about it, pay back the interest next month, otherwise... Hum...! ”
The one in the lead felt that the small table in front of the guild painter was a bit of an eyesore, so he kicked it up and knocked it over! The album with a lot of pictures was thrown high, and the portraits in it flew all over the sky, and finally scattered all over the ground!
These portraits, without exception, are all partners that everyone once knew and trusted:
Natsu, Elusa, Lucy...!
Gray, Laxus, Wendy...!
Elfman, Miraj, Lisanna...!
Three generations, Kildas, Kana...!
Rebi, Gajiru, Jubien...
and the Thor and the Beyondell Squad...
The faces and names that can never be forgotten in this life are so profound and detailed in this album drawn and collected by the painter 'Ritasu'! In everyone's minds, the outline of the Tao is so clear!
But there's no going back!
The beautiful scenes of the past have long become a thing of the past!
"Damn it!"
Macao fell to his knees, slammed his angry fist to the floor, and finally slammed his head on the ground.
He failed to protect everyone, and he, the president, was too much of a failure.
"Whew..."
Wakaba spat out a long puff of smoke with moist eyes, hiding his face in the smoke lest the bastard of Makao see his weakness and vulnerability.
"It's been seven years since then!"
In the past 7 years, the remaining few of them have always insisted on maintaining this family, even if they have suffered all kinds of difficulties from some guilds due to their lack of strength, they have always insisted on maintaining the operation of the [Fairy Tail] guild! Don't let it completely fall into the dust of history! Isn't it just waiting for the return of the family?
Even if they know that it is a luxury, they firmly believe in it!
But 7 years is too long!
It's really too long!
"Everything has changed since then!"
"Giggle..."
His teeth were clenched, and there was nowhere to vent his unwillingness to press in the bottom of his heart, and he didn't know how long he could last.
In the incident of Sirius Island, the elite of the guild disappeared all at once!
This is an indescribable blow to the guild!
"So, is that why you're so immersed in memories and doing nothing?"
The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a delicate and clean smiling face came into everyone's eyes.
This person picked up the portraits that fell to the ground, and looked at the characters he remembered when he chased them one by one, and he felt a lot in his heart!
You must know that Fairy Tail was the first broadcast by Tencent that year, and there were only two episodes at that time; But at that time, he began to chase!
The feelings accumulated from episode to episode are indescribably nostalgic!
"Natsu, Elusa, Gray, Miraj... Erin... Ahem..."
Mistaken!
Something very wrong suddenly came in here!
Erin?
That's Elusa's mother!
He is the number two combat force in another magic country, but he is not a member of the Demon Tail Guild.
"So, everyone, introduce myself, my name is Charlotte, a new magician who thinks he is quite strong! I wonder if you would like to invite me to join the club? ”
