Chapter 319 Two People Not on the List
On Sirius Island where the war is in full swing, the huge Sirius tree in the center still stands out among the trees.
At the top of the towering tree, the branches are lush and green, blocking out the sun; at the bottom of the tree, the roots are intertwined and stacked, and in between the two is a hundred-meter-high trunk.
The tree trunk is old and mottled, with scars of time carved on it, which only makes it more resilient. The criss-crossing branches are dotted with green leaves and tender buds, giving it a vibrant look.
On a branch about 30 centimeters thick, a person was lying diagonally, with the sunlight blocked by the branches and leaves. Her long, soft black hair fell to her waist, setting off her graceful figure.
At this time, Urrutia was resting with his eyes closed, as if he had completely forgotten his identity as one of the Seventh Followers, and was completely oblivious to the ongoing guild war.
The sea breeze, mixed with magic and war, constantly shook the dense branches and leaves of the towering tree, causing the shadow of the tree in the afternoon to sway constantly and make a rustling sound.
The soothing white noise makes the listener feel relaxed. Right now and here is a good time and place for a nap.
"So, you really don't plan to care about this war?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice ruined the nap atmosphere that had been created with great effort, causing Urrutia to frown. But what made her even more upset was the owner of the voice.
With the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, the young man with red hair and blue clothes slowly appeared in Urrutia's sight.
As expected, the person who came was Kira Hopelet, the man she had only met three times but who had managed to squeeze into the top three of her disgust list.
"It's Fairy Tail that's being beaten now! Why are you here if you're not joining the fight?"
Kira slowly walked to the branch where Urrutia was standing. "Hey, hey...is this the attitude you should have when talking to your boss?"
"Bosses who don't pay their employees should go to hell! Employees are the ones who are the best!"
Kira: “…”
This guy, when did he memorize my "Employee Instructions" so well?
"Hmm... your rebellious appearance does resemble the spirit I had back then! It seems I was right about you. You are indeed suitable to be one of the second-in-command of our organization."
“When did I become…” Urrutia was about to retort, but suddenly froze in the middle of his words: “Wait, there’s another second-in-command?!”
Kira explained seriously: "Of course! Have you forgotten? You are one of the twelve holy swords of the 'Money-Making Organization'!"
"hehe……"
Seeing that the other party didn't want to continue this topic, Kira had no choice but to give up, rolled up his sleeves, and climbed up the tree in no time.
"Although Fairy Tail was the one being attacked, with my intelligence, the guild members were prepared in advance, and the competitive spirit of those guys was slightly aroused, the overall situation of the war was completely reversed!"
Hearing Kira's words, Ultear asked, "By the way, where did you get the information? I've never seen Jellal pass on any information to you!"
"How can I tell you this?" Kira thought about it, but still didn't tell her that he had secretly placed surveillance devices on her and Jellal. "I can do it, of course I have my own unique way!"
The monitoring machine was, of course, the same thing that had been placed on Natsu and the others before.
Originally, Kira also had similar props, but they could only be used for monitoring and the distance was also limited. The current machine was obtained from the "Dragon Slayer Research Institute" and Silver's exchange. It must be said that he does have a unique ability in machine creation.
The mechanical dragon-slaying magic that can refine metal into machines, plus the mechanical text magic similar to computer programming, can combine the two to create all kinds of strange but very useful magic props.
As long as the monitoring device is placed on the target, the target's location can be known at all times, and what the target sees and hears can be recorded. Moreover, this device is difficult for the target to detect.
So what Kira said to the guild and others before, "It was the information sent by the undercover agent," was naturally false. He was able to obtain the information entirely by himself... He placed monitoring machines on Jellal and Urrutia and obtained it by eavesdropping!
Of course, there was no need to tell Urrutia about this, lest she think that I was a peeping Tom and it would be bad for my reputation if it got out.
Urrutia obviously didn't expect this to happen, and just said nonchalantly: "Forget it!"
In just a few words, Kira had climbed to the same height as Urrutia, but he did not stop, but climbed to a higher place.
"At this moment, the 'Devil's Heart' is the prey to be hunted! Thank me, because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you and Jellal are not on our 'enemy list'."
"Oh! Thank you so much!"
"I can't hear any thanks from you, just a perfunctory one!" Kira muttered, "If you want to thank me, it would be common sense to... hand over all the money, right?"
Urrutia pretended not to hear.
Kira continued, "Speaking of which, where did Jellal go?"
"I don't know! Maybe he's meeting up with an old flame from your guild?"
"What do you mean by 'old lovers'?" Kira didn't like what he said. "They are younger than you! So read more books when you have time, and use more elegant words when you speak in the future. That kind of relationship should be called white moonlight, cinnabar mole, blue moon, red hair, etc."
Urrutia didn't understand what Kira meant, so she chose to keep quiet. She felt that she shouldn't have talked to this psychopath in the first place.
On the other side, Kira climbed higher and higher and soon disappeared from Urrutia's sight. A moment later, he reached the top of the Sirius Tree.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see.
Kira took out a pair of binoculars from his arms and looked into the distance, and the battle situation on the seashore, the "President's Struggle", was immediately visible.
Turn your head again and the telescope changes its perspective.
With the help of magic and machinery, those layers of trees seemed nothing in Kira's eyes. After crossing a distance of hundreds or thousands of meters, Kira successfully locked onto the battlefields on the island and the fighting wizards in just three minutes, and also knew the situation of their battle.
"The president and Gildarts are fighting Hades... Strange, why didn't they attack his heart? How could they win? But since the opponent is Hades, it's normal that they can't escape!"
"The group of Elfman and Alba Green is beating the fat guy..."
"The Felide Group is fighting the Man of Manifestation..."
"Wendy... Eh?! There's still something about Wendy? She's actually beating up Melty? Isn't that stealing other people's monsters?"
"The rest of the people are fighting minions. It seems that the 'Devil's Heart ' is short of talent and has reached an age of transition! That's not right. After this battle, they will probably disband!"
Just then, an interesting scene appeared in Kira's vision.
Kira suddenly looked up, removed his eyes from the binoculars, and blinked in confusion. Did I see it wrong just now? This is so strange! Take another look!
“Huh?! This is…”
…
In a corner of Tianlang Island, two figures confronted each other for the first time!
Magic power confronts, eyes meet...
The two people representing yellow and blue have legends in the magic world just like their respective magics: one is like a meteor, short and beautiful, with lasting power; the other is like thunder, swift and powerful, and vigorous.
These are two young geniuses who are extremely close in age, strength, and talent. They are also the silver medalists who can only compete for second place behind Kira in the wizard rankings of this era.
Laxus Dorea,Jerald Fernandez!
After confirming the eye contact, I realized that I had met the right person.
Gerald was the first to ask, "Why are you blocking my way?"
"I should be the one asking this question! This is the territory of Fairy Tail!" Laxus said bluntly, "The fact that you appear here means... you are now a member of Devil's Heart!"
In Laxus's cognition, Jellal was still a villain who teamed up with the 'Six Demon Generals'. Although he seemed to have temporarily become a good person for a while under the influence of 'Nirvana', since 'Nirvana' was destroyed later, the transformation magic naturally became ineffective; and before that, he was the mastermind behind the "Tower of Paradise" and the one who hurt his companions!
Since Laxus did not participate in the previous meeting organized by Kira, Makov, Gildarts and others, he was not aware that "Jellal was an undercover sent by Kira", so he naturally regarded the other party as the same bird.
However, even if he knew the news, given his personality, he would still fight if he met Gerard.
On the other hand, Jellal didn't know that Killer had already leaked the news of his "serving as an undercover agent to pass on information". For the sake of his secret identity, he naturally would not tell Laxus everything.
Even though Laxus was from Fairy Tail and even though he was the grandson of Markrov, Jellal still chose not to explain.
"Yes!"
The affirmative answer instantly ignited Laxus's fighting spirit. The surging magic power in his body surged out and instantly turned into golden thunder that wrapped around his body. Within a radius of several meters, the electric current crackled!
"Then be prepared to be beaten up!"
