Chapter 365 Big News That Shocked the Kingdom of Fiore
The year X784 was destined to be recorded in history.
The last time something had a big impact on the entire Ishgar magic world was the establishment of the "Magic Guild" organization, and that was a hundred years ago.
At the beginning of this year , the dark guilds in the magic world formed the most terrifying alliance in history - the Balamu Alliance.
The iron triangle of the alliance includes the oldest and most mysterious 'Gate of the Underworld', the most powerful and legendary 'Heart of the Devil', and the youngest and most difficult 'Six Demon Generals'.
In the whole of Ishgar, more than 70% of the dark guilds belong to the Balamu Alliance; even if the regular guilds are included, the number is more than half. On the day the alliance was established, the Council of Ministers, the Fiore Royal Family , and the major magic guilds were all terrified.
But who could have imagined that at the end of the same year, news broke that the three major guilds had been completely destroyed! And they were all destroyed by the same guild!
Fairy Tail!
…
"Have you read today's newspaper?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"The iron triangle of the 'Balram Alliance' has been defeated!"
"What?! Really?! This is amazing! Who did this?"
"It's Fairy Tail!! I heard that they initiated the fight, and they won by fighting one against two!"
"Oh my God! This is incredible!"
"Isn't it? 'Fairy Tail' is really awesome, right? I've always been a fan of theirs. The wizards in it are so strong and handsome. They are the real strength of the Kingdom of Fiore!"
"That's really amazing! By the way, I have another question."
"What's the problem?"
"What is the 'Balram Alliance'?"
"Forehead……"
…
Scales of the Snake Queen.
President Oba slammed the newspaper on the table and said, "It's 'Fairy Tail' again! If they keep going like this, all the missions will go to them! I say you guys should at least show some respect for me!"
Seeing that the old lady was so excited that she was about to spin, Jura quickly comforted her: "Okay, President. Makarov-san and Kiara-san are there. I heard that even Gildarts-san has gone back. They are all very powerful wizards. It's not surprising that they can wipe out these two guilds in one fell swoop!"
Several familiar extras immediately praised him: "Jiula-san, you are also very good!!"
Leon looked at the headline news in the newspaper and smiled with satisfaction: "Gray should be stronger now, right?"
…
Blue Pegasus.
President Bob leaned on the counter of the guild tavern, holding the newspaper in his hand, his old face smiling like a daisy: "Well done, Makarov! Well... Little Kira should have contributed a lot, right? And little Erza, little Mila..."
One night she danced excitedly in the guild: "As expected of Erza-san! What a beautiful and powerful lady! MEN~"
"This is really cool! It seems that Kira will win the next issue of "The Most Ideal Boyfriend Wizard Ranking" again..."
Compared to Hibiki, Jenny was not worried about her position at all. She laughed confidently, "What a pity, Mirajane! Whether it's the throne of the No. 1 photo model of Magic Weekly or the ranking of the most ideal girlfriend wizards, it won't be shaken by this kind of thing!"
…
Four hounds.
President Goldman raised his sunglasses and said with a smile, "There's big news every once in a while. This style hasn't changed at all, Fairy Tail!"
"WILD FOUR!!!"
…
The tail of a raven.
"That old man did a really good job!"
In the darkness, Ivan read the newspaper with a ferocious smile on his face. "We were able to defeat those two guilds in one fell swoop... This makes me want that thing even more!"
"Lumen Brilliance!"
…
Council of Representatives.
"This is incredible news!"
Speaker Gulan Doma sat at the head of the long conference table with his eyes narrowed and his hand stroking his long beard. On the table in front of him were photos sent by the Fourth Supervisory Team led by Lahar.
"To annihilate the two strongest dark guilds in one fell swoop...Did we speak too loudly to 'Fairy Tail' before?"
"Ahem... that's indeed surprising, but considering their strength, it's not a big surprise."
A congressman pressed his hands on the photo on the table and said in a deep voice: "Compared to this, what we should really pay attention to is Akunorolia and Zeref who appeared on Tenrou Island!!!"
The same photos were placed in front of several other councillors. They were naturally the ones sent by Laharl's team. They showed Zeref and Acnorolia appearing on Tenrou Island and fighting with Fairy Tail, as well as the tragic situation of the war between the three guilds.
坐在下首的一位议员带着浑厚的嗓音，用不容拒绝的语气说道，“我看应该把岛上的人都带到评议院严加审问！”
Several people around him immediately looked at him with strange eyes, and the meaning was obvious: Are you serious?
"I object! There is no reason for us to do this!"
"Rather than pursuing Fairy Tail, it's more important to care about Zeref and Acnorolia first!"
"We deliberately blocked the news about 'Akunorolia' and 'Zerf' in order to avoid causing panic. Doing so will inevitably lead to the news being leaked!"
"I think it is necessary to send someone to investigate, but the means don't have to be so strong!"
"I think..."
In the huge conference room, ten elderly men and women were arguing fiercely about "Fairy Tail".
…
The Royal Family of Fiore.
King Thomas E. Fiore sat on the throne, holding today's magic newspaper in his hand, looking at the news on it, and was silent for a long time.
"Fairy Tail... As I recall, it has always been the strongest magic guild in the kingdom, right? There are several wizards whose names I've heard of! Like Kira, Erza, and so on."
Standing in front of him were two people, Arcadios, the leader of the Sakura Knights, who was wearing silver-white armor, and Defense Minister Daton.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Arcadios bowed respectfully. "That Kira Hopelet is a young wizard who has attracted much attention in the magic world. I heard that his magic is not weaker than that of the 'Saint Ten'."
"Where did you get this news?"
"It's Gulan Doma, the president of the Council, and Haiberion, the second of the Ten Saints!"
The Minister of Defense at the side suddenly asked: "Is it possible to recruit such a person to the magic team?"
"This...I'm afraid it's difficult..."
"It's okay, I just asked casually." King Thomas waved his hand, "Speaking of which, the city where Fairy Tail is located, Magnolia, has paid much higher taxes in recent years than in previous years. I heard that it is also related to this wizard named Kira?"
The Minister of Defense immediately replied, "Indeed! According to the information from the inspection team, the wizard named Kira has made great achievements in business and urban management."
"I also heard that they held a 'Magic Conference' some time ago?"
Daton was stunned, not knowing what the king meant, and just said, "That's right!"
"Hmm... sounds interesting..." The king thought for a moment, clapped his hands and decided with a smile, "In that case, let's have a magic competition!"
"What did you say?" Arcadios and Daton were both stunned.
Defense Secretary Dutton was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty, hosting such a competition requires a lot of financial resources!"
Unexpectedly, King Thomas seemed to have expected that he would dissuade him , and immediately gave his own reasons: "We can use the competition to rank the magic guilds in the country, and take this opportunity to collect their intelligence for unified management. We can also take this opportunity to improve the economy of the capital and promote magic to the people. Do you think these reasons are enough?"
"But matters in the wizarding world have always been handled by the Council..."
"Minister of Defense, you have to understand! The Council is the organization responsible for the entire Ishgar, but these magic guilds live on the land of the Kingdom of Fiore!"
As soon as these words came out, Dutton immediately shut up.
There is no king who would not want to have a being like the magician who possesses superhuman powers in his own hands, even a king like Thomas who is diligent and caring for his people.
No kingdom wants to see the existence of a group like the Council that manages magic guilds have too much management power, even a neutral country like Fiore.
"Let's call this competition 'The Great Demon Fighting Competition'! The business affairs in the capital and the preparations for the competition will be handed over to you two. I want to see results within half a year!"
"I understand!" ×2
After Arcadios and Dutton left, Thomas returned to the dormitory, took out "Dark Magician Zeref" from the bookshelf, and sighed.
"I don't know if that plan will succeed..."
At the same time, the king's only daughter, Princess Emerald E. Fiore of the Kingdom of Fiore, was also reading a book with great concentration. On her desk, there were more than a dozen of the most popular books of the time, all written by the same person - The Light of Hope.
The book that Princess Jade is reading now is called "The Love Story of the Dark Magician and the Legal Lolita".
Suddenly, she closed the book, cast her eyes on the bookshelf behind her, and muttered to herself: "Why do I feel like the black magician described here seems to have been seen in a book before?"
