Fairy: What do you call borrowing power?Is this unknown?

"Huh?" He heard Brandish mentioning himself.

Lucy blinked in astonishment.

"Me?" She couldn't believe it.

Originally, I just planned to take a look at the legendary Twelve Shields of the Guardians, so why did I suddenly involve myself?

In response, Brandish nodded lightly.

"Since it's you, it's easy to handle."

Looking at Luo Xingchen again: "Although I don't know what you guys want to use me for, it's not impossible to talk, but I only talk to her."

With that said, Brandish raised his head in Lucy's direction.

Suddenly... everyone at the scene looked at Lucy in astonishment.

Erza bit her lip, and said hesitantly:

"Lucy, you...".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"How is this possible? Who knows if you have bad intentions for Lucy?"

He heard Brandish's request.

After Erza looked at Lucy, she shook her head lightly and rejected Brandish.

"That's true. In fact, there is nothing to talk about between us. We just want to know some information about the Twelve Shields from you."

Luo Xingchen also nodded.

"Strictly speaking, the information about your Twelve Shields is not very important now, and it doesn't matter if you say it or not."

Having said that, Luo Xingchen sighed slightly.

Then he turned around and greeted the two women: "Let's go, we still have to discuss the next action plan."

Neither Erza nor Lucy had any objection to this.

Nodding his head, he took steps to follow Luo Xingchen's figure.

"Lucy Heartfilia."

Suddenly, Brandish behind him spoke again, calling out Lucy's full name.

Staring straight at Lucy's back, he murmured, "Don't you want to know about... Leila?"

Lucy's steps stopped abruptly.

After hearing that name, there seemed to be waves on his calm face.

A look of horror gradually appeared in the pupils.

Leila? !

Lucy was no longer familiar with this name.

Full name, Layla Heartfilia!

It's Lucy's biological mother!

Turning around abruptly, Lucy stared at Brandish: "What... what did you say?!"

"Do you want to talk now?" Brandish raised his bound hands.

"Untie this and leave Lucy and me alone."

Erza frowned instantly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't push yourself too hard..."

Before Ersha finished speaking, she was stopped by Lucy.

"It's okay, Erza." Lucy's expression became serious.

Maybe it was because I heard the news from my mother.

It is even very possible that there is news about how his mother died.

Even Lucy herself couldn't keep calm anymore.

"This is absolutely not allowed, Lucy, it's too dangerous, the other party is one of the twelve shields of the Holy Guardians¨¨." Erza still shook her head.

"Perhaps, we can let them talk." Luo Xingchen, who had been watching Brandish's expression all the time, spoke at this moment.

"However, at most it can only untie the chain, but the magic sealing stone can never be untied."

"After all, if you can use magic, then things will not be so simple."

"This is our bottom line, if you don't agree, it's out of the question."

Hearing Luo Xingchen's words, Brandish narrowed his eyes.

Then he said indifferently: "It's okay, but this is about me and Lucy, so I hope to be alone, do you understand? Be alone!"

"That's no problem, I will give you a separate room, but we will also have people guarding outside, can you understand this?" Luo Xingchen responded.

Brandish nodded lightly: "No problem."

----------

A not-so-big study room on the second floor of the villa.

The billowing hot air with the aroma of green tea rose slowly from the two cups of tea.

pervades the house.

At both ends of the tea table, two women sat facing each other.

An atmosphere of silence echoed in this space.

"You... really want to know about Layla so much? How dare you stay in a room with me alone?"

After taking a sip of the tea on the table, Brandish was the first to break the silence of the scene.

Lucy's eyes were fixed on the teacup on the table.

The wandering thoughts were forcibly pulled back by Brandish's words.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded slowly: "Yes..."

"After all, there is no child in this world who doesn't care about his mother, right?"

Hearing Lucy's words, Brandish couldn't help but tighten the hand holding the cup.

A look of anger flashed across his face.

But it was not captured by Lucy.

At this moment, Lucy was still staring at the teacup in front of her.

Continue to speak: "What's more... Actually, I don't think you are a bad person."

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You let us go at the beginning."

Indeed, as she said.

After they received the news from Meister, they rushed to the Western Continent without stopping.

When he was in the South China Sea Islands, he encountered the Twelve Shields, who was investigating the intruders.

However, to the surprise of Lucy and others, the two sides that were at war did not fight.

Perhaps because he was afraid of trouble, Brandish just turned a blind eye to Lucy and the others.

And let them go.

It is precisely because of this that Lucy and the others successfully reconciled with Angel later, and went to the capital to rescue Makarov.

Therefore, Lucy felt that Brandish might be different from the other twelve shields.

At least... there's nothing wrong with talking alone.

Moreover, the magic-sealed handcuffs are still on, so Lucy is not afraid of Brandish, who cannot use magic.

"Hehe...you are really naive." Brandish shook his head lightly.

"Huh?" Lucy was a little puzzled.

However, Brandish didn't seem to have anything to explain.

He turned his gaze to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows not far away.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, he spoke slowly: "¨My name is Brandish μ, and my mother's name is Grammy. I used to be your mother, Layla Heartfilia's servant. one."

Seeing that Brandish started to speak, Lucy also suppressed her inner puzzlement.

He began to listen quietly to Brandish's narration.

"At the beginning, when Leila gave up being a star spirit wizard, she entrusted the three keys of the zodiac to three servants."

"Among them, the key of Capricornus was given to Zorudion, and the key of Cancer was given to Speight."

"Grandma Speight?"

Lucy immediately thought of the kind old man who had always treated her like her own granddaughter.

Ignoring Lucy's surprise, Brandish continued to speak.

"And my mother, Grammy, inherited the keys of Aquarius."

"My mother respected Layla so much that even the key to Aquarius was treasured."

"But..." Having said that, Brandish clenched his fists slightly.

The anger that was forcibly suppressed before flashed in the pupils again.

"But Leila betrayed her!"

The low tone made Lucy stunned in place for an instant.

"My mother... what did you do?" She asked with her eyes wide open in confusion.

There was even a drop of sweat on his forehead.
