Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 225 February 7

It’s [-]pm on July [-]th, less than two hours left before the selected time.

Layla Heartfilia sat in front of the light brown desk with a strange pattern. She once again opened the heavy box with black cover and carefully looked at the twelve golden keys embedded in the container. She breathed involuntarily. The ground quickened.

The keys to the twelve zodiac signs are all complete.

Three years ago, when the Fiore royal family sent Princess Emerald to the Tenrou Island Magic Academy, they also sent the last zodiac key to the Heartfilia family, and passed it to Layla through her father's hand. .

And today is the day they are planned to be used.

Is it really okay for me to choose this year, this month, this day?Layla's memory couldn't help but trace back to the birthday party when she was ten years old. It was that day that she was given the sacred mission of opening the "Eclipse Gate" by Mr. Lyle. But will I really live up to everyone's expectations?

She took off the thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, closed her eyes, and gently rubbed her eyebrows with her thumb and index finger, soothing the fear and anxiety in her heart.

What if I'm wrong?Layla couldn't help but think so.What if my spiritual intuition is wrong, what if a solar eclipse is necessary to open the door, and I choose a lunar eclipse instead, what if something goes wrong in the process of opening the door...

There were too many what-ifs, and she couldn't imagine what would happen.

Grame, who had not put on a maid uniform for many years, could tell from just a few of Layla's movements that her best friend since childhood was worried about something. She slowly walked forward and sat on the chair next to Layla. Go up, then grab Leila's hands and put them in her palms.

Layla's hands were shaking and cold.Gramey thought sadly.She was really under too much pressure.

"Gramme." Layla called her name, but there was no follow-up. Even she herself didn't know what to say. After all, she could only do it herself to open the "Eclipse Gate", Grame couldn't help. she.

"Leila, you should have more confidence in yourself." Gramey stroked her hands and comforted her, "If you are not strong enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility, Mr. Lyle will never choose you. What's more, Mr. Lyle is not only I support your choice and will go to the scene in person, so what else do you have to worry about?"

Yes, I understand, no matter how much trouble I made in the opening of the "Eclipse Gate", Mr. Lyle will definitely be able to clean it up.

It's just... Leila frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm just afraid of disappointing the expectations of Mr. Lyle, my father, and my mother."

Gramey straightened her back slightly, stared at her, and said with a smile: "Then don't live up to their expectations. Layla, I always believe that you can do this."

This natural tone and the absolute trust of more than ten years of deep friendship gave Leila great courage, and her eyes gradually became firmer.

Seeing Layla's visibly cheered up, Grame smiled happily, and then said: "Lucy and Brandish really want to come back to see this 'event'. They pestered me in the crystal ball for a long time yesterday. .”

When talking about her daughter's matter, Leila showed a helpless smile: "How can we let these two children be present for such an important matter? No one will care about them at that time. When they saw that they couldn't convince me, they went to pester me again. You, Lucy must be the one taking the lead, it’s really outrageous.”

"Alas, they are getting more and more naughty, and they were cuter when they were little." Grammy smiled, "They also made a new friend recently, I think it's Juvia, who has a somewhat introverted and gloomy personality, but I always I think Lucy and Brandish will lead her astray sooner or later."

"I hope not, otherwise I will always feel sorry for that child." They couldn't help but smile when they talked about each other's children, but the cheerful atmosphere was soon interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from outside the room.

There was a knock on the door, and the old voice of Severus' housekeeper sounded outside: "Miss Layla, please come to the living room downstairs. The adults from Fairy Tail have already arrived."

Layla and Grame looked at each other and understood. Precht, Volod, Makarov, Ivan and Gildarts from "Fairy Tail" had already moved into Hatfield a few days ago. Leah's guest room in the mansion to help prepare for the opening of the "Eclipse Gate".

Then, the "Masters of Fairy Tail" that Butler Severus mentioned at this time must not be them, but the two ladies of Sirius Island, Mavis and Zella.

So Layla responded: "Uncle Severus, we will come later."

"Yes. I'll go to the kitchen first to see if the pastries are ready." Butler Severus replied, and he quickly left with steady steps.

Grame helped Layla dress up simply and plainly, putting on a light golden dress, and then they went downstairs together and came to the hall.

Sure enough, they saw Mavis and Ms. Zera, but unexpectedly they saw Kuanghua and Ms. Zera who often appeared next to Mr. Lyle. Since they returned to the Heartfilia Mansion early, they had not yet arrived. I know that Kuanghua and Ms. Sera went to Tianlang Island.

The four ladies were entertained by Precht, Volod, Makarov, Benjamin and Jiude, while Ivan and Gildas stayed around the "Eclipse Gate" just in case.

The petite Mebis rarely tied her wavy golden hair into twin tails. She sat on the soft sofa, holding the leather fabric with her hands, and her bare feet swayed under her long skirt, like a placement. Large doll on the sofa.

After she saw Layla, the core figure today, her golden fur and small white wings stood up, and she waved to Layla.

Layla and Grame walked forward obediently and saluted everyone impeccably. Even though they left the aristocratic life and became teachers in the academy, they still did not forget the etiquette steps engraved in their memories.

"Leila, sit down." Mavis patted the deliberately vacant seat next to her and said with a smile.

After Leila sat down, she began to ask in detail all the steps for tonight. Although she had confirmed it dozens of times before, it was always safe to ask again.

After the accurate Q&A, Mavis changed the subject and started talking about lighter things, about the interesting things that Lucy, Brandish, and Laxus had recently done at the Sirius Island Magic Academy.

Needless to say, Lucy and Brandish are mischievous.

Laxus is already 16 years old this year and will soon graduate from the academy, and then he will directly participate in next year's "Fairy Tail S-level assessment."

After chatting and laughing for a while, the ancient grandfather clock placed by the wall rang, that is, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and there was still one hour left before the lunar eclipse.
