Chapter 243 Kira: These new employees have no idea what workplace rules are!
In the Fairy Tail world, the life cycle of each organization is closely related to its strength or status. In other words, if this "Dragon Heart Factory" can exist for so long, it must either have an extraordinary status or strong strength.
The so-called extraordinary status is at least like the Council, Fairy Tail, or Demethor Magic Academy. And forces with this level of status are rare even in the entire Ishgar.
Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that it is the second type, and the people here have extraordinary powers. But this makes Kira even more curious about the people behind this research institute.
After hearing Jellal's words, Kira couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Has it existed before the Magic Guild appeared? Then it must have been at least a hundred years old, right?"
At this moment, a trembling voice sounded out at an inopportune time: "No way?! It sounds like it's very dangerous. How about we not go there?"
Kira glanced at Sorono who was about to retreat and said, "Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?! How can you not go in and find out what's going on here? You are a member of the 'Six Demon Generals' after all, how come you don't have a sense of adventure at all?"
Sorono pouted angrily and said, "Having an adventurous spirit has nothing to do with whether or not you are one of the Six Demon Generals, okay!!"
Kira pretended not to hear and continued to sigh: "What's wrong with wizards nowadays? Is it that they can only complain about their abilities? Sorono, you need to be more confident! How can this level of danger defeat you? "
Hearing Kira's words, Sorono immediately put her hands on her hips, put on an attitude of a spoiled young lady, and sneered: "Confidence? What do I rely on to be confident? The three Star Spirit Keys that you stole?"
My goodness, this girl is still thinking about the keys!
Before yesterday, Sorono was still a member of the Dark Guild, and Kira and she were enemies, so he had no psychological burden in taking Sorono's key.
Now that he had accepted her as his subordinate, he should have returned the money, but Kira did not do so. Not only did he sell the three keys to Lucy, he also did not make any compensation to Sorono.
In his previous life, Kira had always been bullied by a black-hearted boss, so he swore a solemn oath that if he ever had the opportunity to do business, he would be a conscientious boss!
Pay employees enough wages and provide them with adequate subsidies. Even if you have to use their labor, you must let them gain something. At least make them feel that they are following the right people!
But how could a boss take away his subordinates' combat weapons and exploit their assets in this way? So Kira still felt somewhat indebted to Sorono.
However, he soon forgot about this little feeling of debt.
"I rescued you from the prison of the Council ! Besides, it's not that I won't teach Yukino new magic, but it takes a lot of time to learn magic. It's only been one night, how can you learn a new magic in such a short time? As the saying goes, more haste makes waste, things like this should be done slowly!"
Thinking of this, Kira said tentatively: "Well... I think a girl's confidence doesn't need to rely on external things! With your looks and figure, if you go to Magic Weekly to be a model and take photos, you will definitely be very popular! Oh... don't think too much, I'm talking about the kind of serious photo!"
After hearing this, Sorono was stunned for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized what Kira meant. He immediately got angry and scolded Kira: "I'm not talking about that kind of confidence! Can you still have a good conversation?!"
Kira pretended not to hear and folded up the airship, heading deep into the valley. The others followed him.
The idea of retreating in case of danger was just talk. They had been active in the dark guild for many years and were at an age where they were lawless. They dared to break into even the kingdom's prison, so how could they be afraid of a mere research institute in front of them?
Besides, with Kira and Jellal, two monsters with strength at the level of the Holy Ten, and Urrutia who defeated Brian with one move, they felt that this operation was still very stable.
This valley is very large, surrounded by high mountains, with low terrain and overgrown vegetation, comparable to the Demisol Magic Academy. The difference is that the valley where the academy is located is full of awe, with nearly half of it being the academy, but here there are only towering trees that stretch as far as the eye can see.
When they looked down from the airship before, they couldn't see the situation in the valley at all, so they could only get off the airship and explore step by step. However, the deeper they went, the more surprised they were, because every minute, the "tallest tree in the world" in their minds would be refreshed.
"The trees here are so tall! How many years must it take for them to grow to this size!"
Sawyer's sudden sigh opened up a new topic.
Beside him, Richard added : “Indeed, I have never seen such a tall tree!”
Kong No rubbed his long white legs and complained about the difficult terrain here, saying, "It feels like the deeper we go, the taller the trees become!"
"It's not that the trees are getting taller, but that we are getting lower and lower!" Eric, who was walking at the outside of the team, shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice? We are actually going downhill all the time!"
As he spoke, the poisonous snake that had been wrapped around him, Chuberios, also made a hissing sound.
"Downhill?" An Ye thought about it carefully, then took out the pendant and found that there was indeed a slight inclination between the pendant and the ground. He frowned and said, "It seems to be true. This valley is really strange!"
Kong Nai asked suspiciously, "What's so strange about it? It's not impossible for such terrain to appear!"
"No, it's not the terrain that's strange, it's these trees!" Eric turned around and explained, "Generally speaking, the energy of a plant has a constant standard. The farther away from the roots, the weaker the plant's ability to transport nutrients. In other words, under the same other conditions, you can only choose between being tall or lush."
"To put it simply, a tree is either tall with sparse branches and leaves, or short with dense branches and leaves. But these trees are both. Isn't that strange?"
Several semi-illiterate people who had never read any books since childhood were stunned and nodded as if they understood.
Eric continued, "Of course there are exceptions, but they are only a minority, and they are all in places where the soil is nutritious! But according to the location of this valley, it is simply not enough to support so many trees at the same time!"
"so what?"
Eric smiled confidently: "I think there must be something special here to make them grow like this! If nothing unexpected happens, it must be the work of that research institute!"
"Huh?! Why do you say that?"
"Don't you think these trees are so tall and dense just to cover something?"
“…”
Sawyer said, "That's ridiculous! This is just your guess, right?"
"No! This is not just a simple guess! Since I entered here, the sounds I can hear have become very limited. This is a phenomenon of magic being disturbed!"
After saying that, Eric turned his gaze to the trio walking in front and asked, " What think?"
Kira rolled his eyes at him, "How are you looking at me? I'm looking at you sideways!"
Eric: “…”
What's wrong with this guy?
Kira said proudly and matter-of-factly, "You've said everything you can say to show off. What can I say? You look so smart, how could you make such a mistake? Do you understand what the 'rule of survival in the workplace is: never steal the boss' limelight'?!"
Everyone: “…”
Sawyer leaned over to Eric and whispered, "Can't you hear your heart?"
Eric rubbed his brows and replied, "I can't hear his inner voice now!"
Sawyer patted Eric on the shoulder and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work..."
"We are all brothers. It's our duty to make everyone's life easier in the future!"
Perhaps it was the fact that they were both exploited that deepened their friendship.
Chuberios: “Hiss…”
