The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 578 Return to the Royal Capital

The trial only lasted half a day before Makarov stopped it.

There is no way, if we don't stop, the barren mountains that have been leveled will turn into lakes.

However, the early suspension resulted in far more people than the quota. Makarov had no choice but to take advantage of the loopholes in the competition rules and decided to send two teams to participate in the Great Demon Fight.

Lacusus, Natsu, Gajeel, Stinger, and Rogge form the Dragon Slayer Team. Erza, Kagura, Gray, Lucy, and Kana formed the second team to participate in the Great Demon Fight.

Naturally, Ciel told Makarov about Fiore Kingdom's plan and the Eclipse Gate. After all, it was related to Zeref and Acnologia.

And the two are the main reasons why the Tenrou Island incident will develop to that extent before seven o'clock.

But don’t forget, for Makarov and the others, that was what happened not long ago.

Although Makarov complained a little about having to deal with such a troublesome existence so soon, he did not change his plan to participate in the Great Demon Fight.

The reason is that Charles also understands that this matter cannot be avoided.

Not to mention that the key to opening the Eclipse Gate is the golden key in Lucy's hand. On this point, the kingdom will not let go of Fairy Tail.

Furthermore, no one could know that something involving Zeref and Acnologia was about to happen and still leave it to others to handle.

Listening to Ciel's narration, Makarov understood that the Kingdom of Fiore did not consider the risks at all when formulating its plan.

If you weren't there when the accident happened, you wouldn't be able to do anything in time.

Fortunately, there are many outstanding children in the guild, including Ciel, which gives Makarov the confidence to deal with possible situations.

It's a pity that Gildarts accepted a ten-year mission and left after watching the excitement of the selection. Otherwise, he would have been more confident.

However, for the sake of safety, Makarov did not agree to allow members with insufficient combat power to accompany him, and only took the main team members to Crocas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore.

This was not the first time for Charles and the others to come to the City of Flowers. They completed the registration and checked into the hotel with ease.

As a guild that has won the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Championship many times, Fairy Tail still receives a lot of preferential treatment.

For example, in the original plot and when I first participated, Fairy Tail was crowded into the Honeybone Hotel with many guilds.

But this time Fairy Tail was arranged in the Crocas Garden Hotel, the premier luxury hotel in the capital. Even people who were not members of the competition had separate rooms.

After arranging to check in, everyone in the Sirius group went out for a stroll under the leadership of "regular guests" like Stinger.

Ciel and Makarov looked at each other in the hotel room when Mavis suddenly appeared.

Mavis bit his finger and said, "I originally came here to cheer everyone up because I was bored staying on Tenrou Island. I didn't expect this to happen."

Ciel had known for a long time that Mavis would appear and was not shocked at all, but her current state was really magical.

Although Mavis calls himself a ghost, in the Shire, he looks like a special missing person.

After experiencing so many worlds, Ciel's knowledge and research on various powers have made him very clear about Mavis' current state.

The power of the immortal curse protected her soul, allowing it to leave the body and move freely in a special life form. It seems that everything has two sides, and the power of curses is quite magical in a way.

Ciel didn't think too much about this, and just said: "The first generation with the title of goblin strategist helped us, which made us feel a lot more relaxed."

Mabius looked very serious and said, "Don't be careless, after all, it's about him and Acnologia!"

Of course Ciel knew who Mavis was talking about, but Ciel also knew that this incident actually had little to do with Zeref. What he needed to worry about was the possible appearance of the black dragon.

Mavis continued: "According to the existing intelligence, the focus is on the golden key in Lucy's hand. What we need to do now is to protect her. In order to prevent accidents, everyone should avoid being alone during the next big magic fight. Take action! In addition, we must also pay attention to the news in the kingdom. Ciel, can I ask you?"

Charles nodded and said: "No problem, I will pay attention!"

Ciel looked at Mavis's expression and could still see her confusion. Even the goblin strategist would inevitably be shaken at times like this.

The original purpose of the Eclipse Plan was to travel through time and kill Zeref before he became the Black Mage.

And based on the relationship between Mavis and Zeref, it's hard to imagine how complicated her mood would be.

Fortunately, this plan itself cannot succeed, and there will be no bloody plot.

While the three were discussing the next course of action, others also saw wizards from other guilds participating in the competition on the street.

For the Sirius group, many of them are familiar faces that have changed a lot, but there are also many new people that they don't know.

Most of the opponents are quite familiar to Stinger and others, so he is responsible for introducing those strangers to everyone.

Except for old friends like Jura who would be happy for the Sirius group to return, most of the guild's magicians were more or less hostile or even malicious.

So Kagura explained to everyone who was confused: "Our guild has won too many times in the Great Demon Fight, and it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of other guilds.

The same happened several times before, and it caused us a lot of trouble! They are obviously guys who can't even pass the qualifiers. I don't know where they get the courage to challenge us. "

It's no wonder that Kagura has such doubts. Like Natsu and the others, she has a lack of understanding of the evils of human nature. People like Erza and others who have had enough experience understand why.

The Great Demon Dou Yanwu announced to the outside world that it was a competition to select the first magician guild in the kingdom.

It's quite normal for that name and the huge benefits that come with it to make people jealous. Even if Fairy Tail wins every time, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.

Jealousy is so unreasonable.

In addition, Fairy Tail disdains such despicable things as revenge, so the cost of trouble is reduced to a minimum. Naturally, they don't mind trying to unseat popular players and make themselves famous.

Kagura noticed another group of people, looked at them and said: "Over there is our most worthy opponent, the Guild Sword-Bite Tiger!

After Mr. Charles stopped participating in the competition, they competed with us for the championship in the past few years, and they actually beat us twice. "

Everyone immediately looked over, keeping their future opponents in mind.

Swordbite Tiger also discovered Fairy Tail's team and showed a wary look. The two sides just looked at each other for a while and then went their separate ways.

We are going to be opponents soon, and we still have to decide the winner on the field.

At this moment, several people with sensitive senses suddenly looked in the same direction at the same time. Just now, a particularly gloomy and malicious look came from over there.

"That symbol is...?" Kagura couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. How could she remember the names of other unknown small guilds? Looking at the crow symbol with a branch, she really couldn't recognize the malicious black-robed man. identity.

Erza didn't want to but said: "That is the raven of thorns symbol of the Magisters Guild. Seven years ago they were a small guild that took on some dirty work. Have they developed in the past seven years?"

Kagura shook her head and said: "No, I have never heard of any active deeds by them in the past few years, and they have never entered the official competition of Da Mo Dou Martial Arts."

Lucy hugged her shoulders and said, "That guy makes people feel bad. We'd better not provoke them!"

Lacusus was silent on the side, not knowing why the man in black robe gave him a special feeling.
