Chapter 405: Dragon Hunter
I remember in the original work, when Natsu and others were invited to visit the Celestial World, he couldn't even eat the food of the Celestial World, just because it was made of lamb and crab meat.
Natsu's character is so kind that he even treats the celestial spirits like this, not to mention dragons.
He was raised by a dragon, so he naturally hated people who ate dragon meat. Kira couldn't say anything to him, "To those people, dragons are no different from ordinary monsters, except that they are smarter." This kind of statement would inevitably sound sarcastic.
Justus was very surprised to hear that Kira knew something about the fifth generation Dragon Slayer. "So Kira-san knows about it too?"
"I dealt with Diabolos's men once. We exchanged blows."
Kira was not sure about MNP or Justus' attitude towards Diabolos, so he did not tell him the details of the fight.
Otherwise, if you have a good relationship with them, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you say “I killed their vice president”?
Fortunately, things did not develop as Kira expected.
"Since Kilasan knows about them, it's easy to explain!" Justus was delighted. "The president of Diabolos, Jorg Lessen, is a very powerful, conceited, arrogant, and cruel man. Under his leadership, Diabolos has seriously affected the status of MNP."
Kira sneered in his heart: No wonder! It turns out that their interests are affected, and they can't win by themselves, so they come to ask for external help... This makes us look like villains who help the evil...
"It would be fine if it was just to affect their status, but they also made a lot of unscrupulous demands, such as asking the Council to pay them a large sum of money at a fixed time, otherwise they would just sit there and watch the dragons wreak havoc everywhere."
"There is such a thing? It's too much!" Erza and the others frowned, and their impression of Diabolos plummeted. "Magic should be used to protect the weak, and the Magic Guild should be an organization that provides help to people! People like this are not wizards at all!"
"You're right. This isn't a magic guild at all. They're just bandits taking advantage of the situation, right?"
Natsu also shouted: "Igneel said that dragon slayer magic should be the magic of love. I don't care how they got it, but this behavior is a complete insult !!"
"Well... I think this behavior is understandable." When others were indignant, Kira suddenly expressed a different opinion.
“Eh hey hey?!”×N
"Why do you look at me like that? It's just making money, it's not shameful. If it were me, I might ask for more, but even if the Council doesn't give it to me, I won't just sit there and do nothing."
The others looked at Kira in disbelief and complained, "Can you please sober up and stop being blinded by money in a place like this..."
Kira ignored everyone's complaints and said to Justus calmly, "Collecting protection money is indeed against the code of conduct of the Magic Guild. But who can stop you from defeating the dragon? For the safety of ordinary people, why don't you just give him the money?"
"We compromised at first, but he kept pushing it harder and asked for more!"
Justus didn't seem to care about Kira's attitude, and his tone still showed his dissatisfaction with Diabolos. "Not long ago, the MNP headquarters was destroyed by a dragon, but they didn't come out to help immediately. They waited until the dragon left before they came. Such a magic guild has completely lost its credibility!"
"We know that Fairy Tail has dragon slayers and has fought against the legendary Acnorolia, so we can only ask for help from you." At this point, Justus finally revealed the content of his commission, "Please! Please help us defeat the dragon that attacked the Council!"
After hearing the mission, Kira once again raised his attitude: "Defeating the dragon is no problem, but the reward..."
"30 million J! If you can complete it, MNP will pay you 30 million J!"
"Ohhhh!! Just leave it to us!!!"
…
Go to Kiltina's ship.
When only the guild members were left in the room, Erza suddenly asked, "Kira, what happened to you just now? I always felt that your reaction was a little strange."
"Eh? Weird? What's weird about it?"
The others didn't understand what Erza meant, and thought about it, from the beginning, she was pretending to be a fool, to the information she revealed in the middle, to the attitude change at the end because of the 30 million reward. Well... the whole process was fine, and it was in line with Kira's character!
What they didn't expect was that Kira actually directly acknowledged what Erza said: "Did you figure it out?"
"Under normal circumstances, even if you really wanted to, you wouldn't say something like 'just give the money to the other party' in front of the client."
"As expected of Erza, you are so careful!" Kira smiled and gave Erza two thumbs up. "The reason I said that is because I think that Justus is not telling the truth."
"Eh heh heh??!! Nani Nani?? What are you talking about??"
Natsu, Gray, Wendy, and Happy were all confused, while Lucy and Xia Lulu lowered their heads in thought. The IQ levels of the members in this team were clear at a glance.
Erza understood what was going on: "About Diabolos's style? You said you had interacted with them. Could it be that their style is not as bad as that congressman said?"
"That's not the case! I don't know if they are evil or not. The only thing I know is that the primary goal of this guild is not money, but to hunt dragons, eat their flesh, and seize their power. They may really ask the MNP for compensation for this, but I think it is unlikely that they will let the dragons go."
"Why not?"
"Well... it's a bit complicated to explain, so just think of it as a side effect. Bathing in dragon blood and hunting for dragon meat will both drive dragon slayers crazy. The more they kill, the crazier they become. But most importantly, their bodies also become hungry and thirsty. The more dragon meat they eat, the more they want to eat, and they will endlessly pursue higher quality dragon meat."
After briefly explaining it to everyone, Kira continued, "In Diabolos, only their leader, Jorg Lessen, has the ability to hunt dragons. All the dragons hunted by the entire guild were killed by him alone. Under such circumstances, you can imagine how crazy his mind is."
"All the dragons were killed by one person?" Everyone was horrified. "This is incredible! Is that guy really that strong?"
Kira answered affirmatively: "Yes! If nothing else, the Thunder Dragon King's Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal implanted in Laxus' body, and the Sticky Dragon Magic Crystal on my Dragon Slayer Magic Staff, were made from the hearts of the dragons he hunted."
Several people were stunned when they heard this, as if they were eating melons from their own guild.
"Thunder Dragon King... sounds like a title similar to Fire Dragon King. If that's the case, could his strength rival Igner's?"
Natsu suddenly got angry: "Igneel is very strong! Just like the 'Holy Ten' have strong and weak ones, the same is true for Dragon Kings! The Thunder Dragon King is definitely not as strong as Igneel, so he was defeated by that guy!"
"Oh? You're quite good at making analogies today..."
"Alright, alright... let's stop discussing Diabolos here!" Kira clapped his hands. "Although the MNP obviously wants to use us to undermine Diabolos's position, they are not the target of our commission after all. Whether they are good or evil has nothing to do with us!"
"That's right, our target is just that dragon!"
Gray muttered to himself: "Defeat the dragon... Can we really do it alone? We have no power to resist Acnorolia..."
"Hey, hey... I didn't make a few jokes, so you lost your confidence, did you?"
“No way!!”
Kira laughed: "Don't worry, not every dragon can compare with Akunorolia! Even it couldn't kill us, let alone the little dragons here?"
"Light up! We are wizards from Fairy Tail!"
