Chapter 37: The Forgotten Shadow Mountain
"The Balamu Alliance... a new dark guild that the magic world has formed this year." Kira muttered to himself, his thoughts immersed in memories of the past.
It will be the Six Demon Generals dungeon soon. I remember that this was fought by the alliance of the four guilds: Fairy Tail, Snake Princess Scale, Blue Pegasus and Cat's Inn.
Speaking of which, this world is really strange. According to the information Kira has collected so far, the world of Aslant, that is, this magical world, currently has several continents, and he is in the southern continent.
Even Uru is only mentioned in the plot as being in the north of the continent, but there is no exact statement as to how far north it is.
The Council is an organization that manages magic guilds across the entire continent and is distributed in various countries. However, in the original plot, both the original Council and the new Council seem to be subordinate forces of the Kingdom of Fiore.
The biggest reason is that all the plots take place within the borders of Fiore, with no depictions of other countries at all.
The Kingdom of Fiore is a small coastal country in Ishgar, with a population of less than 17 million. The area of its territory is unknown, but it is not very large. It remains neutral between countries. The guilds mentioned in the original work, such as Fairy Tail, Phantom Ruler, Blue Pegasus, Scales of the Snake Princess, Bell of the Mermaid, Tiger Bite, etc., are all magic guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore.
The only exception is the Balamu Alliance, which is set to be a dark force spread throughout Ishgar, but all of them fell in the Kingdom of Fiore.
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but complain.
Why would the four magic guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore be sent to deal with a dark guild like the Six Demon Generals? Where were the magic guilds of other countries?
Why can the kingdom forgive the witch's sins in the comics? Shouldn't the dark guild be dealt with by the Council?
Why are the twelve golden star keys, said to be unique in the world, all gathered in the Kingdom of Fiore?
Why are the Ten Holy Wizards, the ten strongest people in the entire continent selected by the Council, also in the Kingdom of Fiore?
Even though Kira has been here for more than 20 years, he still doesn't understand why. Is there really something wrong with the world?
After much thought, I can only blame the problem on the original author.
"What's wrong? Do you want us to take action?"
"Yes, after consultation among the guilds, it was decided that our Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Snake Princess Scale, Phantom Ruler, and Cat Transformation Inn would form an alliance to fight against the enemy."
Sure enough, it’s this… Hmm? Wait, is there something weird mixed in?
"...Phantom? President, you are right, right?"
The ruler of the phantom, located in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Fiore in the city of Woku, is another guild that runs parallel to Fairy Tail. Its predecessor was the Blue Skull, a magic guild from a hundred years ago.
Back then, the president of the Blue Skull clashed with Mavis and others over the Sirius Jade of Sirius Island, and was finally eliminated by Mavis using the Fairy Law. After Fairy Tail was established, the president of the Blue Skull established the Ruler of Phantom.
In other words, both guilds have a history of more than a hundred years, and their founders were enemies. The confrontation between the two sides has continued since their inception.
Six years ago, Markov and the current Spectre guild leader, Joseph, had a fight at a regular meeting over which guild was stronger because they drank a little too much. In the end, Markov won, and Joseph held a grudge against him, and he stopped attending regular meetings from then on.
In recent years, the two guilds still had frequent disputes, but since the first trade war a hundred years ago, the Magic Council did not allow magic guilds to go to war at will, so in the end Marklov had to endure it.
Kira was a little confused at this moment. He had thought about it a lot, but he never expected this to happen. This... shouldn't be the butterfly effect, right?
"Did the Phantom Guild President also attend this meeting? I remember he hasn't been here for several years."
Kira said as he looked around but could not see Joseph.
"Our relationship with them is not very good... The struggle between Fairy Tail and Phantom has been going on for more than a hundred years, right? Why should we form an alliance with them?"
Marklov was also helpless: "The Dark Guild is not so easy to deal with. Without considering other aspects, the Phantom has a combat power second only to ours, so we made this decision. The regional councilors have decided to contact Joseph, and they should not be able to refuse in this case. And..."
At this moment, Kira didn't know if he was seeing things, but he felt that his president's smile was actually somewhat warm.
"Although the two guilds have always been at odds, to be honest, there isn't a huge conflict between them. If we face the Dark Guild together this time, perhaps we can resolve years of grievances."
"President..." Kira was a little speechless. From this point of view, the people of Fairy Tail were really scary optimistic.
But what can he say? What Markov said is also true, he can't just condemn them as enemies in the comics... and Gajeel and Juvia were later cleared.
After a moment of silence, Kira nodded: "I understand, I will be prepared."
"Then I'll leave the intelligence gathering to you!"
All along, in addition to serving as the think tank of the guild is also responsible for collecting intelligence. This is not only because his business is extensive and he has good relationships with people, but also because there are really no smart people in Fairy Tail. They are all a bunch of impulsive idiots who act recklessly when faced with difficulties.
Not to mention those S-class wizards, the president himself has the mentality of a child, so Kira can be said to be worried about them. It was only in the past two years that he shifted his focus to business and felt a little more relaxed.
The information Markrov mentioned was not only about the Phantom, but also about the Six Demon Generals and even Baram. Fortunately, Kira knew all the information he should know, and there was no need to know what he didn't know, which saved a lot of time.
In Kira's opinion, saving is earning, and time is money. If we exchange the two, it will be equivalent to making a lot of money today! Very good, I will reward myself when I go back!
"Kira, look!" Natsu's voice came, "The food here is so delicious!"
"That's right! The fish here is delicious too!"
Natsu and Happy already had their mouths full of food scraps, "Come and try some too!"
Lucy tried to dissuade them awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed and having to hold back her laughter. It was really difficult for her.
The joy at the banquet made Kira and his companions forget the most important thing: after Eligore's defeat, Kunuki Station cleaned up the mess overnight and resumed traffic the next day.
The next day at noon, when Kageyama and Larabai, whom he brought with him, finally arrived at Kunuki Station, they heard about what happened yesterday. Several younger brothers who had managed to escape came forward and cried.
"Brother Kageyama, the boss has been captured by the Council. You must complete the boss's plan!"
"That's right, we must teach those old guys a lesson!"
"We can only rely on you now!"
All the hopes of his younger brothers were placed on him, and Yingshan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
What happened? I just slept for a while, and I missed so much? I finally brought Lalabai here, and I was so close to realizing the plan! Why did this happen?
There's nothing I can do. Now that Boss Eligore has been defeated, I'll have to rely on him! Wait for Larabai's revenge ! Fairy Tail! And those bastard old men! !
Kageyama held the wooden flute tightly in his hand and boarded the last train of the day to his final destination - Clover.
"Huh...it looks like the party isn't over yet..."
It was already night when Kageyama arrived at Clover Town, which was a really weird time.
Hiding in the bushes, a pair of eyes full of resentment stared at the small villa. The warm light was dazzling to him, the aroma of delicious food continued to stimulate his nerves, and listening to the laughter coming from it, Yingshan felt both nervous and excited.
Very good, the old guys from the regular guild didn’t notice my arrival at all.
A hideous sneer appeared on Yingshan's face. He put the wooden flute in his hand to his lips and took a deep breath. At this distance, they must be able to hear the curse song. The time for revenge has finally come! ! As long as I blow the Lalabai, they will die——
"Young man, why are you hiding here so late instead of going home to sleep?"
!!!!!!!
An old and deep voice sounded from behind, which immediately scared Yingshan. He couldn't catch his breath and kept coughing.
“Ahem…”
After a long while of trying to recover, Kageyama slowly turned around and saw that the stinky old man Markov was already behind him without him noticing! ! !
