Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 221 X777 and Juvia

At the end of June in X777, the city of Magnolia ushered in a localized, pattering rain. The citizens were a little caught off guard and looked up at the gray sky. The weather forecast last night mentioned that today is a big storm. Sunny.

creak-

The recently emerging double-decker magic bus stopped at a roadside stop. The passengers who got off from behind the folding doors secretly cursed the damn weather, then covered their heads with their hands and hurriedly ran into the rain at the station. Under the shed.

Only a little girl with short blue hair and a hat seemed to be prepared. She opened the small umbrella decorated with lace in her hand to cover the falling raindrops. Amidst the pattering and scattered sounds of rain, , wearing high boots, she walked into the rain.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when the little girl got out of the car, the rain gradually became heavier and torrential, and when she walked a certain distance, the rain gradually became smaller, and finally the rain stopped and the clouds cleared, revealing the sun Come on, it's really strange.

In fact this is not an illusion.

10-year-old Juvia Rox was suddenly plagued by "bad luck" last year. Wherever she went, it would inevitably rain, and the intensity of the rain would change depending on her mood.

At first, she thought it was a novelty, but as the days went by, the non-stop raindrops and the humid and dark atmosphere made everyone around her leave her. Even if she was the best friend in the past, she couldn't stand it. A life where you can't play outside.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Fiore has done a good job in popularizing knowledge about magic and wizards in recent years. The villagers knew that her magic was out of control, so they did not demonize her or isolate her too much.

However, Juvia still couldn't accept her current life. After much hesitation, she decided to try her luck in Magnolia, the "capital of magic" in the Kingdom of Fiore, to see if she could solve this problem.

So, she appeared here.

The city of Magnolia is worthy of being the city of magic. There are shadows of magic everywhere. The magic buses and cars passing by, the dishes flying around in restaurants and being served automatically. Just pick up the magic crystal and you can instantly A clothing store for changing clothes...

Juvia held a small umbrella, lowering her head rather uneasily, and occasionally glanced at the new things in the big city. No matter what the outcome of this trip was, at least her curiosity was somewhat satisfied.

Not long after, she passed by a majestic and huge building. After walking for several minutes, it still did not leave her sight, so she walked around to the front of the building to get a full view.

This is a towering cathedral. The main church and the towers on both sides have spires. The clear windows can vaguely glimpse the gray and white tone inside. The door is always open to the outside, but there are not many people coming in and out.

Juvia stopped and watched for a while, and suddenly heard someone calling her.

She turned around and saw a rickety old man in priest's clothes standing on the side of a column, looking at her kindly.

"Hello, have I disturbed you?" The old priest coughed a few times and asked, "I am the priest of Cartier Cathedral. Can you tell me your name?"

Juvia glanced at him timidly, then spat out a few syllables from her mouth: "Ju...Juvia."

The old priest nodded, waved to her calmly, and said, "Juvia, come on, take shelter here from the rain, don't stand there anymore."

Juvia thought for a moment, then obediently walked to the shelter of the cathedral and put away her umbrella. "Juvia, are you interested in the Cathedral of Cartier?" The old priest rubbed his palms in the coldness brought by the rain. He noticed that Juvia had stopped to look at the cathedral for a while, so he asked, "Do you need me to tell you about the history of Cartier Cathedral?"

Juvia hesitated for a while, then nodded driven by curiosity.

"Then let's go in and sit for a while. I'm old and I feel tired just after standing for a while." The old priest looked embarrassed.

He led Juvia into the cathedral. It was exactly as Juvia had imagined. Although it was spacious and bright, there were not many people. There were a few people sitting on benches with their heads bowed in prayer, and a nearby writer was writing in the white room. There is a novel written on the paper just because it is quiet enough here.

They sat down on the bench near the door.

The old priest paused, and then spoke in a story-telling tone.

"Juvia, do you know when the Human Era began?"

Juvia hesitated for a while, wondering why the old priest would ask a question with such an obvious answer. But just as he was about to tell the answer in his heart, he hesitated because he was worried that there might be some trap in it.

The old priest smiled and seemed to have seen through Juvia's thoughts: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. It is now the year X777, and the human era naturally starts from the year X1. And the archangel we believe in in this cathedral, He was already an archangel long before year X1."

"He has no name. Please allow me to use 'Archangel' to refer to Him. At that time, the gods were still walking on the earth. After that, they went to the world of gods and rarely returned to the human world. In this era, it is also It’s called the ‘Age of Gods.’”

Although Juvia didn't quite understand, she still nodded politely.

The old priest continued happily: "Then there was the 'Age of Dragons' that lasted nearly 300 years, then the 'Age of Demons', the 'Era of Blanks', and finally the 'Age of Humanity' today. The latter three eras occupy almost 400 Years of time. Although it is the Anthropocene, we actually only gradually took control of the world nearly 200 years ago."

As he spoke, he showed a dignified and pitiful expression: "Can you imagine what kind of life human beings living in the era of dragons, demons and various terrifying monsters lived?"

Juvia thought for a while and said softly: "Juvia thinks that must be terrible."

The old priest was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, that must be terrible. So, humans began to seek shelter and faith, hoping that various gods or their archangels could protect them."

"It was at this time that a down-and-out jewelry merchant came to Magnolia City. His business was not good, and he was threatened and robbed by the Dark Guild. Later, he heard that a human here had once been promoted to a great master. Angel, for whom a chapel was built."

"Soon, a miracle happened. The business of his 'Cartier Jewelers' Guild' gradually got better and even bigger. He attributed all this to the archangel, so he expanded the chapel. It became the present Cathedral of Cartier.”

Juvia blinked her big eyes, feeling shocked. At the same time, she thought of her own situation and thought, maybe her magic problem can be solved here like the jewelry merchant?
The old priest continued at this time: "After the completion of the Cartier Cathedral, there were two miracles that saved the city of Magnolia. The most recent time was three years ago. After that, in the cathedral, Every day, countless believers come to pray for blessings, which is quite lively.”

"It's a pity..." He changed the topic, shook his head, and said with a smile, "How can the archangel fulfill everyone's wishes? People gradually stopped coming after they realized that their wishes would not be fulfilled."

What the old priest said made Juvia disappointed. So, her wish may not come true?
