Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 267 Dragon Graveyard
"You don't have to worry about this." Val coughed and explained earnestly, "At least I won't mess around. And as far as I know, Brandish is also a lazy woman. If no one provokes her Her words won't do any harm."

Woz shook his head: "I'm not worried about these... By the way, how many pieces will you come this time?"

"All 15 will arrive."

Woz asked: "All of them arrive on the body?" He knows that these chess pieces are "puppet-style" mages. Generally speaking, the same purpose can be achieved through puppets like Val.

"Yes, the main body arrived this time. We plan to take the opportunity to gather together." Franklin replied honestly, this is not something to hide.

"No wonder, the chess player is unwilling to come in person." Woz suddenly realized, "If he also comes along, the balance organization can be regarded as fully mobilized. In that case, the rhythm of the decisive battle will be sure."

Woz sighed: "In fact, even if he didn't come, just the gathering of 15 of you here is enough to cause drastic changes-the difficulty of the game will increase a lot."

Val asked: "Are you talking about the chess game?"

"Well, let's just say it." Woz shrugged without further explanation.

The two sides were silent for a moment, and Val asked again: "Actually, I have been wanting to ask just now, the magic you used before, Mr. Woz..."

"Did you mean the speed reporter?"

"Uh... and the text magic in the back, did you combine the two magics?"

Woz nodded in acknowledgment.

"But what's the point of doing this?" Val couldn't help complaining, "The efficiency of casting spells like this is too bad, right?" As a member of the mechanical family, he has extremely strict requirements for efficiency.

Obviously, you can use text magic directly; but you have to rewrite the text through ice modeling magic, coupled with the assistance of super-speed reciting spell casting skills, so as to complete the release of magic... It feels like doing the same thing in a big circle things!

Woz replied: "This can release word magic without my magic book."

Franklin also questioned: "So what's the point of doing this? As long as you bring the magic book with you? Could it be that you developed such magic just to lend the book to your students?" He had some doubts It's not a countermeasure that Woz came up with after he was banned from competing in person.

Woz smiled: "Because at one stage, I really needed to cast word magic without relying on magic books..." Yes, this is also a great achievement for him in ancient times, and it can be regarded as a magic technique forced out by reality. Bar.Woz himself admits that this is indeed a bit inefficient, but at least it frees him from relying on magic books, and in some cases-such as now, it is still very useful.

While speaking, a priest wearing small round glasses appeared on this street, followed by four puppets or robot-like things.

This is the missionary and his battle-specific puppets "Punisher" and "Judger"; of street pavement.

The four of them got together and briefly exchanged intelligence information, and then they heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers coming from the direction of the field in Thomas Brause—the first match had a result.

As a matter of course, the two participating teams in Fairy Tail swept the top two places. No.3 is an unfamiliar guild, it should be the kind of team that "gathered up the number" in the original plan, right?
Ssangyong of Sword Biting Tiger won the fourth place. They could have won No.3 by virtue of their hard power, but unfortunately they had bad luck in the end. They ran into the "twelve heavy machine gun blockade network" set up by Franklin himself. It was a waste of money to get out of trouble. a little time.

The remaining four positions in the top eight were naturally divided among several protagonist guilds. "Mermaid's Heel" did not send the strongest players to participate, but they are all beauties after all, and it is the guild composed of pure beautiful mages. No one will offend such a guild, so the big fight at the beginning Many teams consciously avoided them; most of the teams that fought them had female members.So they finally achieved No.5 results.

"Snake Scale" has always been a powerful guild, and this time it also broke through the siege and won No.6; "Crow's Tail" has always been a dark guild before, with a rather vicious reputation, but there are not many The team dared to provoke them, so they were able to get the ranking smoothly; in the end, No.8 was the "Blue Sky Horse" team. Hibiki and Ivan's combat effectiveness was not particularly dominant, and they were besieged and beaten by other teams in the melee at the beginning. It was miserable, but after entering the official racing stage, the situation suddenly became smoother. Although there were no word wizards, the sound magic "ancient document" was connected to the word magic to a certain extent; It is not difficult to break or even control the spell array like the same, but it is not difficult to find and avoid the traps in advance; it is a pity that they started relatively late, so they only won the No.8 result in the end.

In the end, the "Four Headed Hounds" are the worst, because their personalities are relatively "wild", and they played too high in the big fight, causing the most sieges, and almost fell at the starting point and couldn't play normally!
This chaotic "race" finally succeeded in achieving the goal of "reducing the number of participating teams". At least [-] teams will be eliminated passively because two participating members were seriously injured; there are more than ten teams One person was seriously injured and had to be replaced by a substitute, only one step away from being out.

The next part of the battle is the unlimited arena mode. This event only takes two rankings - the last challenger and the last person who failed to challenge the challenger will get ten points and five points respectively.

Because they had already seen the organizer's intention to artificially reduce the number of participating teams, the remaining ordinary teams calmed down a lot and did not rush into the ring rashly.So the group arena was played in a tepid manner, until finally Yan Tieyula took the stage to win the ring master and defended the ring ten times in a row, defeating a lot of challengers from other protagonist guilds, the ordinary team finally lifted their spirits.

The champion and the others dare not think about it anymore, but the five points of the "last challenger" can be contested.In order to ensure that the challenger of their own team can become the real "last one", these teams did not hesitate to play off-court ideas...

Unfortunately, under the deliberate suggestion of someone with a heart, all the teams had the same idea.As a result, under the arena, in a corner that ordinary audiences cannot find, a series of secret and fierce struggles followed one after another.The wizards of each guild used their own means, but the referees and other official personnel tolerantly ignored these obvious foul behaviors, and finally successfully eliminated 29 teams!

In the end, through the first day of the competition, the organizers got their wish and reduced the number of teams to about [-], barely meeting the initial expectations.

Today's game is undoubtedly very successful in the eyes of ordinary audiences and laymen, because it is lively enough and the fighting scenes are particularly sufficient, which makes everyone feel very satisfied.But for the team mages, especially the mages who participated in the competition, it was simply a bad joke, and the whole process was so chaotic that there was no order at all!

Complaints and subsequent complaints are naturally inevitable, but against the backdrop of the bustling royal capital, these small complaints did not attract much attention.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the honey bone hotel was hot.Fairy Tail once again toasts.They can be said to be the biggest winners in today's game, scoring a total of [-] points!It's a pity that this will be split between the two teams. The real number one scorer today is Snake Princess with [-] points.

But this did not affect their mood of wanting to celebrate.Chairman Makarov was also in a good mood, so he decided to temporarily indulge these children and no longer restrain them like yesterday.

Woz sat in the corner in a low-key manner, not fooling around with others. He was patiently listening to Rebby's report, while pointing her to more knowledge about word magic.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Woz's heart moved, and the text note he left on the dragon monster moved, "I caught you!"

"What's the matter, teacher?" Rebby asked curiously.

"It's the monster I met today, and there's something new about it."

"So are you going out now?"

"Of course!"

"Then let's go!" Mirajane arrived by her side at some point, with an eager expression on her face.

As she said that, she hugged Woz's arm tightly: "This time, definitely don't think about leaving me alone again!"

Woz smiled bitterly: "By the way, I never seem to abandon you, do I?"

Mirajane couldn't help being stunned, and then recalled it carefully.In the end, the silver-haired girl confirmed that Woz really hadn't "abandoned her".From the beginning, he brought himself and his younger siblings to Fairy Tail, and then he also fulfilled the responsibility of "guiding the way", so that they can become real wizards as soon as possible.After Lisanna had an accident, Woz paid more attention to himself and insisted on the belief that Lisanna was still alive.At that stage, instead, she gave up her career as a mage. Was she the one who left Woz?

Further on... Many things happened in 784, but no matter what the big or small incidents, they never separated. Mirajane also accompanied Woz to find Heyberian to practice.She is the person in the guild who has been with Woz the longest.

Speaking of which, the only thing that Mirajane was dissatisfied with was the Edras incident. At that time, she became a magic crystal and was not able to participate in it.

Later on Sirius Island is the real separation. In the face of the irresistible strength of the Black Dragon King Aku Norollia, Fairy Tail and everyone had to fall into a deep sleep under the protection of the Fairy Ball.Judging from Mirajane's subjective time, their separation was only half a year, but for Woz, it was a really long ten years!

When the door of memory was reopened and things about Woz came to mind one by one, Mirajane realized that the familiar people suddenly became a little strange.Not only is his appearance more mature, but today's Woz feels as if a change has taken place.

yes!In order to return to this era, Woz has been hibernating for hundreds of years!

Careful Mirajane has long discovered that Woz has been forcing himself to recall the events of this era, playing the role of "self" hard.Silently doing his own efforts trying to reintegrate into Fairy Tail.

Thinking of this, Mirajane felt a pang of heartache. Waiting for 500 years must be very lonely, right?

"Don't use the competition as an excuse anymore, even as a contestant, it won't conflict with this action!"

Woz shrugged: "Well, I have no problem."

Raby raised her hand and said, "I think it's necessary for me to improve my actual combat ability!"

"Hehe, call out the automatic bookkeeper and protect yourself." Woz nodded. Lebby can use the power of the magic book, so she can also act as a main combat force.Coupled with Mirajane's words, the combat effectiveness of their group is absolutely guaranteed!

Woz felt that as long as he didn't encounter enemies of the level of Jeref or Akunorollia, he could basically ensure his own safety.

Mirajane looked a little displeased, but she also knew that this operation was not a date with Woz after all, but a dangerous investigation task, so the stronger the strength of her side, the better.If it wasn't for worrying about causing commotion and making things worse, calling Laxus Erza and the others together would be a foolproof decision.

Maybe it was stimulated by the two "stupid apprentices" in ancient times. After returning, Woz showed great concern for teaching Rebby.It seems that she has made up her mind to let her pass on her word magic.

The group of three greeted the two presidents and left the hotel.

After they left, Makarov asked with some concern: "My lord, is it really okay to let them take risks like this? My feeling tells me that things have become complicated."

Mebis nodded: "It's normal for you to notice the abnormality. This feeling... should be about the chess game? After all, you are the one who inherited my will. As for Woz, although he is also a member of the elves, But in fact, it exists at the same level as me, and I can't force him too much, and he also has his own battle. Now what we have to do is to trust them."

Mebis' delicate and small face showed a look of relief: "He has grown very powerful, he is not weaker than your mage... In some respects, he is even stronger than me! So, don't worry about them .”

Crocas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, is a true "city that never sleeps". Even though it was already night, after walking out of the hotel, the outside was still brightly lit, even more lively than during the day.

Bustling tourists walk through the streets, enjoying the prosperous night view of the capital.Many people are still immersed in the game in the morning, excitedly discussing what happened in today's game with their companions loudly.

What a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere!Leibi sighed a little, but immediately quickened her pace to keep up with the two people in front.

As S-level mages, Mirajane and Woz not only have the strength beyond ordinary mages, but more importantly, their consciousness and experience are far beyond the average level.

The moment they stepped out of the Honey Bone Inn, both of them entered the "mission state", their spirit and will were highly concentrated, and they could enter the battle with the best posture at any time!
Once these two people get together, it's really scary!Rebby hugged the magic book in her arms tightly, and put herself into the serious mode as much as possible—refer to her usual state when reading books and interpreting runes.

Although the "text note" in the morning was not released through the magic book, it can still be tracked through the magic book.The automatic secretary flew in the front to lead the way for the three of them, leading them all the way to the edge of the city.

"This is... the arena for the Great Demon Fighting Arena?" Leibby suddenly recognized the majestic building in front of her. In today's competition, she also saw this superstar arena from the outside like this, so she was deeply impressed.

Woz suddenly remembered something: "So it's here?"

The automatic secretary did not continue to lead them into the arena, but turned around and walked down Mount Thomas Brau until they reached the entrance of a remote mine.

"It turns out that there is such a place near the capital." Mirajane said, her expression became serious, "The breath inside...is very strange, strange but very strong, you must be careful!"

"Well, be careful!" Woz narrowed his eyes, he was very familiar with this breath, although it has been dimmed countless times here, it is indeed a magical wave that is exclusive to the dragon clan.

Reminiscent of the obvious "dragon" characteristics of those dragon monsters, many things can be explained.

After entering the depths of the cave, the two girls were stunned by what they saw.

That is a huge skeleton fossil!Although it has been dead and weathered for hundreds of years, these bones still contain a trace of extraordinary magic fluctuations, silently telling how powerful these corpses were before they were alive!
The more you go in, the more keel skeletons you see. They have different postures and different shapes of bones. It seems that they should be different dragon species; but the only thing in common is that these skeletons all have some damaged parts .It was not the damage caused by weathering to the bones after death, but the damage they suffered during their lifetime, or in other words, it was really because of these injuries that they died!
Because judging from the location and extent, these are fatal injuries.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Why is there such a place under the capital?"

The two women asked in surprise at the same time, but they were just expressing exclamation, but they didn't really want to get the answer, because they also knew that no one would know the answer.

"This is the Dragon Cemetery." Unexpectedly, Woz gave the answer immediately, but it was also reasonable, after all, he is Woz!
"All the dragons who are buried here are the dragons that were killed by Akunorollia 400 years ago!"

　I just read chapter 530 of the manga, and there is a question I don't understand. Is the gate used to travel through time a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse?

　　Also, Lucy was so cute when she was a child!
