Chapter 380: Doubts Resurface
Who attacked them?
What's up with this remaining dark magic?
Just as they were thinking about it, An Ye suddenly said, "Speaking of which, there is something I care about."
Several people turned around and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"When we were wiping out those dark guilds before, people from several guilds said that they had recently come into contact with a group of wizards of unknown origin. These wizards all possessed powerful powers. Extremely dark magic, strange words and deeds, crazy attitudes, and inhuman appearances were their common characteristics!"
This description reminded Jellal and Urrutia of what happened on Tenrou Island some time ago. The two looked at each other and knew that the other was thinking the same thing as they did.
"It sounds like a demon? Could it be the remnant of the 'Gate of Hades'?"
Urrutia thought more: "I remember Kira said that one of the demons in the 'Nine Demon Gates', Franmars, who could use the 'Soul Absorption' spell, was not caught. Could it be that it was the demon that gathered a new demon force?"
If the other party is really the demon from the 'Gate of Hades', then it is a power related to Zeref, so it is not surprising that there is such dark magic remaining.
The few of them had already discussed secretly behind Kira's back. In addition to destroying the darkness and gaining their freedom, one of their goals was also to deal with Zeref, who had caused misfortune to their fate.
Now, I finally found something that is likely related to Jellal.
"Huh? Is there anyone still alive?"
Eric noticed the lingering scent in the ruins and went straight over to pull the person out.
"Hey! Wake up!" He slapped the man mercilessly several times in a row, waking him up from his coma, and then asked , "What happened here? Who attacked you?"
After a series of inquiries, the few people finally figured out what happened: just like the guilds mentioned by An Ye, this guild also encountered mysterious wizards who not only destroyed their territory, but also forced them to kill each other. The loser would die, and the winner would be transformed into a creature like them.
If they lose they will die, if they win they will be transformed into this kind of "neither human, neither beast nor demon" appearance. The people from the Dark Guild would definitely not allow such a thing, so they resisted, but the result was what they saw before them. They were beaten without any resistance and several stronger ones were also taken away.
"Transformed? What do they look like?"
"Lizard people, hedgehog people, catfish people, leopard people, fish people, and some weird forms. In short, there are a lot of them!"
His words reminded Ultear of something, and he said, "I remember Kira told me that the 'Gate of Hades' has something that can transform humans into demons. Although the Hades Beast was destroyed by 'Fairy Tail' when we were on Tenrou Island, there is no guarantee that there are no other similar means."
Jellal nodded solemnly, "One last question, where did they go?"
"East... east!"
Several people were stunned: East? That seems to be the direction of Bosque Country! Could it be that the enemy has fled to the neighboring country?
…
The Magic Conference of Bossk Country is not outstanding, mainly because their magic guild and wizards are not strong. Not to mention compared with "Fairy Tail", saying that they are almost as strong as Aoki Pegasus is a compliment.
But even so, the conference lasted for five consecutive days, which was quite grand.
Compared to the Kingdom of Fiore , such a small country cannot invite people from the Council of Advocates, so the important guests of the event, apart from Princess Emerald, are only reporters, the king, his younger brother, and several presidents of magic guilds.
Such an identity is actually quite important, but Kira just feels that it is suspected of being a mere filler.
After a few days of observation, Kira discovered that the King of Bosk was indeed as the short king had said, ambitious, arrogant, ruthless, and attached great importance to magic and military.
The king's younger brother is the opposite of him. He is the finance minister of Bosque. He is gentle and approachable. He is also very friendly to the visiting Princess Emerald and her group. He looks harmless. It is said that he has a high reputation in the kingdom, and because the current king has no children, many people think that he will inherit the throne sooner or later.
"I just don't think this chancellor is a good person!"
Kira made this assessment of the finance minister from the first day, and it remained unchanged for five consecutive days.
Jola was puzzled: "Why do you feel this way?"
"Indeed, I am also confused by this." Princess Emerald also echoed, "This finance minister is very prestigious in Bosk and acts gently. Maybe it is a bit rude to say this, but I think he is more suitable to be the king than the current one."
Kira said, haha, what can a pig brain like yours see?
But he certainly wouldn't say this out loud, he just explained: "His eyes are like an old fox , my intuition tells me that he is not such a simple person!"
Princess Emerald was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and asked, "Eyes? Didn't he always squint his eyes?"
"That's why I said he's not that simple! From what I've observed, he's also a wizard! There are only two days left for this friendly diplomatic relationship, so Princess and Jura-san should not take it lightly!"
"I understand!" Although he didn't know the reason for Kira's worry, Jura still listened sincerely.
However, Princess Emerald was still confused: "The country of Bosk attaches great importance to magic. Even the king is a wizard. It's not surprising that he knows magic, right?"
Inhale...exhale...
"Well...I'm going out for some fresh air..."
The room was filled with such stupidity that it was hard to breathe.
Kira changed out of the guard's extra uniform and wandered around the capital of Bossk. Compared to Kurokas, the magical atmosphere here was more intense, and traces of magic could be seen in almost every shop.
The Kingdom of Fiore separated the Magic Guild from the royal family, but the Kingdom of Bosk did not. The Guild had a close relationship with the royal family, and could even affect the succession to the throne. This was mainly due to the different national conditions of the two countries - Fiore was the gateway to Ishgar, and the Magic Guild was more important!
Kira walked into a magic shop and observed it casually. Of course, he was mainly looking at the decoration of their shop. After receiving the reward for this mission, he should also decorate his own Hope House.
"Mage, is there anything I can help you with?" The shop attendant came up and addressed the customer as a magician. This is very common in this country.
Kira's eyes lit up. The waitress seemed to have a great figure. Should he hire one for his store?
"I'll just take a look!"
As expected of a magic shop in the capital, there are so many items! But... why do all of these look familiar?
Kira looked back and forth several times and found that 30% of the things here were sold from his own store! In addition, there were several masterpieces of Silver.
"Where did you buy these magic machines?"
The waiter who was called over was stunned at first, then responded with a polite smile and answered as expected: No comment!
The afternoon was spent strolling around, and when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the royal capital, Kira finally realized that he had been absent from his post, and he became even happier!
"It's so nice to just sit there and do nothing for a day!"
Just as Kira was humming a song and skipping back to the diplomatic embassy, something strange happened!
It was dark, the road was remote, and there were orcs blocking the way. Five beasts that looked like neither human nor beast surrounded Kira in a row. Their undisguised killing intent, along with the night wind, blew out a few chilling howls.
"Finally they showed up? I used myself as bait, and finally caught a few fish!" Kira complained as he took out the magic item "Remote Intercom", "Jora-san, Princess, can you hear me? I'm Kira! The enemy has finally appeared!"
A few seconds later, the voice of the Emerald Princess rang out from the intercom: "Kira-san, are you okay on your own? Do you need Jura-san to come over and help?"
"Princess, please rest assured! I will handle it soon. I will leave your safety to Jura-san for now."
Hmm? It seems like Jura is the only one protecting me this afternoon? Never mind, it's not important!
"Leave it to me!" a familiar deep voice came, "I won't let anything happen to the princess!"
"Oh!! This is really reassuring, Jura-san! By the way, are there any enemies over there?"
"No, the other party would not have the audacity to attack in a diplomatic embassy."
"I guess so! By the way, Your Highness, this should be considered as an attack on diplomats and a violation of the friendship between the two countries, right?"
"Eh?! This...maybe... counts?"
"Yeah! In that case, it's okay for me to do whatever I want, right?"
In the diplomatic embassy, after hearing the questions coming from the headphones, Princess Hisui and Jura fell silent. They once again thought of "Fairy Tail" and the legend of Kira.
After a long while, Jura spoke into the headset: "Sir Kira, if possible, please try to control it and don't make too much noise - I mean the fighting noise, you understand?"
Seeing Jura's expression suddenly change, Princess Emerald's heart skipped a beat and she asked hurriedly, "What did Lord Kira say?"
"Uh...he's dead!"
