Chapter 201: Meet Again in the Forest
High in the sky
"It's just like a spring outing for elementary school students..."
Hearing Kira's complaints, Haiberion seemed to be testing him. He turned around and asked with a smile, "Mr. Kira, do you know why they retreated?"
Kira stroked his chin, nodded and replied: "If we catch them all, the next step will be the struggle of the 'snatching group'. The magic stones they need do not have number requirements, and they also need two pieces of different colors, so there will be more people to deal with, and it will be more difficult;"
"On the contrary, keeping this group of candidates will help disperse the firepower of others. Moreover, the candidates who have not had their Philosopher's Stone taken away by now, even the weakest ones, have a skill, and they will be much more difficult to deal with."
Haiberian's eyes lit up and he nodded approvingly: "As expected of Mr. Marklov's child, Mr. Kira is quick-witted, clear-headed, and has extraordinary analytical skills!"
Although he didn't know what this had to do with Markov, Kira still smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior!"
Uncle, if you can talk, please talk more!
"There is still half of the journey left. I estimate there will be 2 or 3 more snatch battles, but there won't be too many people participating in the snatch. There will be more than 400 candidates participating in the third round to snatch the magic stone. In the end, there will be about 30 to 40 main forces on both sides. The remaining 10 to 20 people will have to rely on luck."
"Hmm!" This time, Haiberian just responded lightly and did not continue to praise.
Kira: ? ?
This is not the right reaction! Uncle, where is your compliment?
Am I overdoing it?
It doesn't matter whether I was overacting just now or not. The most important thing now is...
Under Haiberian's shocked gaze, Kira naturally took out a spare lunch box from his space bag - which always contained meat and grains - and started today's lunch.
"Eh? Senior, aren't you going to have lunch?"
Haiberian seemed to be fasting, looking like a hermit: "I just drink milk..."
What else? Say you didn't bring it?
After a pleasant lunch, Kira temporarily separated from Haiberian, using the excuse that he wanted to wander around the area alone. Although to those who didn't know, it looked like he had driven Haiberian off the flying carpet, but...
The host has already gotten off the flying carpet, so which guest would dare to stay on it?
Kira strolled through the woods, looking around and investigating. "So, Dean Conas, Speaker Gulan, and Uncle Haiberian, what exactly is the reason for their unusual behavior today?"
Kira still hasn't figured this out.
He didn't believe that nothing happened. After all, Haiberian almost had the word worry written on his face.
"Come to think of it, this area is very suitable for an ambush..." Looking at the dense and tall trees around him, Kira couldn't help but think of the remaining one hundred or so defeated candidates who had not yet appeared. "There must be a group of people ambushing here! And then, there is another group near the valley. After all, that is the final decisive battle point, and the competition must be the most intense!"
"Magic Detection!"
In order to find the green forest that might be hiding in this green forest, Kira activated the magic of words, released his own perception, and explored all the magical fluctuations within a radius of ten miles.
"Sure enough, there is a large group of weak magic gathered in front of the right, 10... 20... about 40 people, and there are a few scattered around. Are they planning to rob the robbers?"
"These kids are so scheming at such a young age. Who knows what they will become when they grow up. Ahhh... I'm so worried about the future of the Kingdom of Fiore..."
Kira complained like an old scholar, but he couldn't suppress a smile full of evil humor on his face. Just as he raised his foot to move forward, he sensed a unique magic.
This ball of magic is very big and very white, with a bit of black mixed in.
If the magic of those candidates is the faint light of fireflies, then this magic is probably a bright crystal lamp.
"It's a little familiar, the nature of this magic."
Kira muttered to himself, and stepped closer out of curiosity until he saw the owner of the magic.
"Oh hoo! See you again!"
Kira waved and greeted the woman in front of him as if he were meeting an old friend, "Urrutia!"
Seeing Kira's familiar behavior, Urutia was shocked and suspicious: Kira Hoplite? How did he know my name? Oh, he must have learned it from the Council! What's the matter with him saying it's been a long time? I shouldn't have revealed my identity last time on Karna Island! Shouldn't I... not?
Thinking of the punch on Karna Island, Urrutia felt a little pain on his face again.
"Kira Hopelet? Why are you…"
"Hey! Don't be so polite! Just call me Kira, we are all old friends!"
I remember! That annoying feeling of being interrupted in the middle of a sentence!
At this stage, if Urrutia were to make a ranking of the most hated people, Kira would definitely be in the top five. As for the top four, if nothing unexpected happens, they would be Uru, Leon, Gray, and Deliora.
On the island of Karna, Deliora's complete death made Gray and Leon reconcile, but Urrutia did not let go of the grudge in her heart. Until now, she still blames Uru for abandoning her, and Leon and Gray for taking away her mother's love.
Urrutia suppressed the anger that was beginning to rise from the bottom of his heart and said coldly: "I don't remember being friends with you!"
"How could it be?!"
Kira imitated the tone and movements of the harpy, and showed a look of astonishment, surprise, and loss on his face, which then naturally turned into regret, pain, and unwillingness. "I thought that after that punch from Karna Island, we were already friends who didn't know each other until we fought!"
Here it comes! Here comes the acting state! Foolish woman, surrender to my superb acting skills!
Urrutia's rage +1 +1...
"You bastard! Who said we are friends after fighting?! And that's not how we say we are friends after fighting, right?!"
How did this bastard recognize me?
Kira said seriously: "Even if you don't consider it for the sake of that punch, at least consider it for Jellal's sake!"
"What does this have to do with Gerald?"
"Jellal and I are also friends who have known each other for a long time! And he is also friends with you, so you and I are also friends!"
Urrutia: “…”
"Not to mention Gray..."
Before he could finish his words, a light blue crystal ball was thrown over, and like the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, it turned into dozens or hundreds of crystal balls in the air, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Kira.
boom!!!
Countless crystal balls exploded around Kira, stirring up large amounts of dirt and sand and knocking down a pile of branches and leaves.
After a long time, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing an earthen wall with forty dog heads carved on it.
The earth wall slowly sank, and Kira emerged from the dog's head. He patted the dust off his body, and then his face showed a proper tangle again: "It's not good to destroy the greenery..."
Urrutia's hand was still in the throwing motion. She tried her best to calm herself down. The murderous intent in her eyes was undisguised. She asked in a cold voice, "How... did you know about this?"
"What did you say?" Kira looked puzzled. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you are talking about that. Of course, that's right!"
Urrutia still looked at Kira coldly without saying a word, as if waiting for him to continue.
Kira straightened his messy clothes and said, "Green plants can absorb carbon dioxide, replenish oxygen in the air through photosynthesis, prevent wind, dust and noise, purify water quality, and improve the climate..."
"Shut up!!"
"You were the one who asked me..."
Urrutia felt that her patience had improved a lot recently: Why could this person say such words so naturally, do such things, and show such an aggrieved expression? ! Are the people of Fairy Tail so shameless?
"How do you know about me?"
“Well, calm down first.” Kira looked at Ultear’s heaving chest and felt that if she continued like this, she would be completely impressed by his acting skills. He stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, “Calm down and listen to me…”
"Forget it! You don't have to say it!"
Kira looked at her in disbelief: "You... just interrupted me?!"
“…”
Urrutia suppressed his restless emotions and said, "No matter where you got this information from, it has nothing to do with me. Since you have collected information about me, does that mean you know my current identity?"
Kira nodded: "Ah, I know! The devil's heart, the seven followers of Purgatory."
