Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 249 Dragon King Sacrifice

This day is the day when the King of Dragons was born.

……

The sea was calm, and the blue sky was cloudless.On the distant horizon, the sea surface and the sky blend together, making people unable to tell which is up and down, as if they are about to get lost in the deep blue.

In this world, which is like a whole piece of sapphire crystal, a three-masted sailing ship sails alone, like a stranger who has broken into a secret place.

Seven years have passed, and the magic power left by the Black Dragon King Akunorollia has long since dissipated, but his existence still has a profound impact on this sea area, resulting in a barren scene where birds and beasts are extinct, and fish and shrimp do not grow here.

Acunorollia's impact goes far beyond that.Although in that battle, he only appeared in a glimpse at the last moment, and the related battle was deliberately concealed by the insiders; but just the information of "the Black Dragon King reappeared in the world" is enough to shock The whole world is gone.

In the seven years since, Acunorollia and Zeref, who appeared at the same time at the time, have disappeared again, as if the previous appearance was just a dream.

That battle in the depths of the ocean also seemed empty, and was quickly forgotten by the world.

However, many keen people and organizations have realized that the world is quietly changing!

In 784, Fairy Tail, who was in the limelight and quickly rose to become the first guild, declined rapidly in the same short year after that, fading from people's vision at an astonishing speed.It was also at the same stage that countless new mage guilds sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the entire magic world ushered in a new period of great development; correspondingly, the authority of the council also increased to an unprecedented level .

Many old guilds with dozens or even nearly a hundred years of inheritance felt an urgent pressure, and had to put down their dignity to compete fiercely with these younger generations.

None of this has anything to do with Fairy Tail though.Abandoning the original glory, and even withdrawing from the Magnolia guild headquarters, the remnants of Fairy Tail, in the eyes of many mages, have lost their qualifications to compete, and have been reduced to third-rate guilds to fend for themselves.

As for the name of the Kingdom's No. [-] Guild, it has long been forgotten by people, just like they forgot the former ruler of Specter.

The kingdom, or it should be said that the magic world of the entire world has entered the fast lane of development.Excellent mage guild, powerful mage emerge in endlessly.As a result, the competition between guilds and guilds, between mages and mages, became fiercer than ever.Thanks to the constraints and management of the Senate, it did not turn into a magical war 100 years ago.

In contrast, the current mages have more ways to compete.All kinds of competitions, big and small, became popular.

Among them, the most famous and most influential activity—Damo Dou Yanwu also came into being.

This is a national-level large-scale competition open to all mage guilds. Eight strongest teams are selected from countless mage guilds to compete fiercely.The winning team will not only receive huge bonuses, but also a rare honor, gaining the attention and admiration of the world - this will also increase the number of missions the guild gets in the next year, and bring a lot of money to the guild. Benefit.

Moreover, it is said that each championship team will receive a mysterious "reward".This legend has not been confirmed, and there are various speculations about this mysterious gift.Except for the final champion, no one knows what it is, and the champions over the years are all the new "Sword Bites the Tiger" of the Wizards Guild, and they have always kept this secret.

Fairy Tail has also participated in several Damo Dou performances, the best result was No.2, and then it was not as good as every year, so in the end it simply stopped humiliating.

Although he has never won the championship, Fairy Tail knows what the last "mysterious reward" is.

That's a ticket to a chess game!Provided by the "Tianping" organization, one of the behind-the-scenes supporters of Damo Dou Yanwu.An important function of Damo Dou Yanwu is to select players for the chess game.

The "Tianping" organization seems to have never found the other participant in the chess game, and it is not known whether it has died unexpectedly.But the chess game is bound to start, so they set about picking their opponents.

But unfortunately, "Sword Biting Tiger" seems to have never been able to pass their final test to be officially qualified to participate in the chess game.

Knowing this, Fairy Tail finally lost the idea of ​​participating-this reward was worthless to them, because they were in the chess game from the beginning.

And to be honest, Fairy Tail doesn't have the energy to participate in these "leisurely" activities anymore.Seven years of war between them and the whole of the Barham League had exhausted the goblins.

Seven years is not a long time, but for individuals, especially young people, seven years is long enough.Many people have left Fairy Tail one after another, especially in the past two years, the trainees carefully trained in the guild have left one after another to become mages in other guilds.

In this regard, Makao and the others were powerless to stop it.The only consolation is that there are still many people who choose to stay and share the difficulties with the guild.The family philosophy implemented by the former chairman Makarov has left a group of loyal and united "family members" for Fairy Tail.

"Zeng~" Rong Qishi drew and retracted his sword, his movements were as fast as lightning and all in one go.

The wretched man in front was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back. The clothes on his chest were neatly cut with a long cut, but he didn't really hurt his body.But he knew that this was just a way for Qishi to show off her sword skills, as long as she wanted, she could cut his body open at any time.The men behind the man also scattered like birds and beasts.They knew how terrifying the woman in front of them was—she really dared to cut them to death with a single sword!
The idol that Rong Qishi admires the most is the former Fairy Queen Erza, the frightening woman who is legendary!Rong Qishi's master is the famous killer swordsman Turtle Dove Jin Wenyue, a terrifying woman who likes to hone her sword skills by beheading enemies!Influenced by the two of them, Qishi's own swordsmanship is also full of fierce and sharp styles. In the seven years since her debut, the number of enemies who have fallen under her sword is no less than that of her master.Therefore, she also won the title of Ghost Sword Fairy, the strongest mage in the new generation.

"Go away! Magnolia is not your private territory. If you dare to act recklessly, you will become the Dark Guild." Yan Qishi warned coldly. If it is the Dark Guild, then you can kill it recklessly!
Lilin was behind her comforting several trainees who were being bullied.

"I'm sorry, big sister, we're leaving too!" The trainees looked at Rong Qishi anxiously, "There are already other guilds planning to invite us to join."

Rong Qishi stroked her long hair, and a pair of starry eyes glanced at them expressionlessly: "Remember to say hello to the president."

Lilin quickly trotted a few steps to keep up with her: "They are the last batch of trainees."

"Ah."

"Before we knew it, we also became seniors, but without juniors, I feel a bit lonely."

"Ah."

"Looks like it won't work without them...Fairy Tail has been getting more and more lifeless recently, isn't everyone tired?" Lilin sighed, "If Brother Naz and the others are still here, they will definitely be here all day long. It's very lively!"

"...Yes." Rong Qishi nodded seriously, "They will come back."

"Hee hee, Qi Shi, you are still so determined."

"They will come back." The star-eyed girl repeated again.

Lilin smiled and said: "Yes, when Naz Erza and the others come back, we can launch a big counterattack against the Dark Guilds! We must completely defeat them!"

"Will do."

……

The Sirius Island incident seven years ago was just the beginning of everything, and its impact and aftermath never ceased.

The chess game has officially begun!When the balance organization was still picking opponents, the chess game of the previous generation that hadn't really ended broke out first.

The war between Fairy Tail and the Barham Alliance of the entire dark guild, the war between light and darkness, finally erupted after a hundred years!
Because of the difference in number and power, although it is said that the strength of a guild is against the entire alliance, the real chances of the two sides meeting are not as many as imagined.The Magisters' Guilds from all over the world blocked many low-level enemies for them intentionally or unintentionally, so that Fairy Tail could concentrate on dealing with the high-ranking cadres of the enemy.

And in the course of the war, Fairy Tail will always get support from all sides.Friendly guilds such as Snake Scale and Blue Sky Horse; Jin Wenyue who often comes to take care of her disciples; the Balance Organization also secretly helped them in the beginning; there are even some Fairy Tails that everyone didn’t even think about. People who have thought about it are also secretly helping them: the new gray guild "Sin of the Witch", the guild "Second Special Magical Battalion" that seems to have popped up out of nowhere... These organizations are not large in scale, and the number of people is very limited. But everyone is a powerful mage, and the ordinary dark guild is not their opponent at all.

Because of these overt or covert foreign aids, Fairy Tail actually continues to maintain an amazing record of "no one dies".It's just covered up by the guild's overall decline and the appearance of a large loss of personnel.

Now, the small tree building in the forest also began to look empty.

As the last batch of trainees also chose to leave, Fairy Tail finally reached the critical point of life and death, and their talents began to appear faulty.

However, after such a cruel screening, those who remained were undoubtedly the real "fairy".They have never forgotten the past, and they will never give up searching for the missing Sirius group—since no death has been confirmed so far, the Sirius group must still be alive, alive in a certain corner of the world.

The deterioration of living conditions, shortage of funds and manpower forced Fairy Tail to temporarily suspend its search for the wrecked sea area.However, they and Fairy Tail's friends never gave up, so after the blue sky horse brought the information about the abnormal magic fluctuations in the sea area, Makao immediately decided to send a new search team to search.

In the second half of each year, the mage guilds across the continent will start to prepare for the grand event of the magic world, the "Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts", and the atmosphere among ordinary citizens will gradually become lively.

But none of this has anything to do with Fairy Tail. Just as the various guilds were actively preparing for the battle, a sea ship flying the Fairy Tail flag plunged headlong into this blue and silent sea.
