Chapter 423 The unexpected appearance of the bearded uncle
Just when Erza and the others were dumbfounded and wanted to complain, an accident happened!
Out of the corner of their eyes, everyone only caught a glimpse of two white rays falling diagonally from the ceiling at lightning speed, followed by the sounds of "whoosh" and "whoosh" breaking through the air, and then two terrifying cracks appeared on the ground.
Everyone in the basement looked up along the cracks and saw two similar cracks on the ceiling. These were obviously two attacks from top to bottom. The attacks penetrated the rocks on the ground and fell into the basement, leaving traces on the basement floor.
Everyone in the One-Eyed Snake felt a flash of fear in their hearts: Who could launch such an attack? ! Could it be the companions of these people?
Before they could figure it out, a sound of something huge falling came from the ceiling. The whole room shook suddenly, and several pieces of rubble fell from the cracks in the ceiling.
"What's going on?!"
"What happened up there?!"
"An enemy is attacking? Could it be someone from the Council?"
Just when everyone was in doubt, a man who looked like a younger brother came down the stone stairs in a panic. He was trembling all over, pointing at the stairs behind him with shaking hands, his mouth trembling: "No... No... Boss!! There's someone outside... "
The arrogant man immediately stood up: "What's outside?!"
"There's someone outside—"
Boom!!!
Before he could finish his words, a loud bang was heard from the ceiling of the basement. It was obvious that it was bearing unbearable gravity. With this loud bang, the ceiling immediately exploded, collapsed, and fell. The huge object pressing on it also fell down at the same time and smashed directly into the basement.
The ceiling was gone, and a giant object was taking over the original ceiling's function and covering it. Through the lights that had luckily remained on, and the sunlight coming through the tiny cracks, everyone finally saw what the "ceiling" was now - it was the flesh of some kind of magical beast, with snow-white, soft hair on it.
"What... Is there any monster attacking?"
"I've never heard of such a large monster around here!!"
"Hurry up and send a few people to kill it!"
Not only the people of the "One-Eyed Snake" were affected by the turmoil, but also Erza, Natsu and others as well as a group of captives. Fortunately, this iron prison has six sides and the top is also made of steel, and the fallen rubble from the ceiling is very large, so several people were able to survive and were only covered in dust.
Seeing the thing covering their heads, several people were immediately shocked: "This... this feeling, could it be..."
"It's a dragon!!!"
A loud shout resounded throughout the basement, and the source was the younger brother who came down to report the situation. "It's the dragon that attacked the Council House in the newspaper. It's fighting with Diabolos's men up there!!"
"What did you say??!!!"
"Why are the dragon and Diabolos here?!!!"
The people of the One-Eyed Snake suddenly changed their expressions, and instantly forgot about the flattery and slave trade. They were filled with fear and panic. The first thing they did was to complain, and the second thing they did was to run away. No matter what the situation was, with their strength, they would definitely not get any good results if they continued to stay here.
“Run!!”
The next moment, everyone felt two huge magical powers coming from the ground. Those who were weaker, including the arrogant man, were directly pinned down by the magical power and could not move.
Erza immediately moved to the side of the iron cage and looked up. The giant dragon turned over, roared towards the sky, and its terrifying aura spread in all directions.
"It's Kurnuki for sure! This kind of power... Was it just playing with Disper before?"
Suddenly, two metallic sounds were heard. Several people turned their heads and saw that one side of the iron cage was cut by two sword marks, one above and one below, leaving a big hole. Several iron pillars fell to the ground with "clangs", and then two identical figures walked in.
The familiar red-haired hero, as always, spoke in an unremarkable tone, as if he wanted to see a good show: "Oh~ There are quite a lot of people here... The other party is really capable..."
Everyone was immediately delighted: "Kira, Disper, you are finally here."
"Don't worry, since we are here, you...Puchi! What kind of weird way of tying you guys is this?! Hahaha..."
"Can you still walk like this? Hurry up and take a few steps so I can see..."
Seeing that Kira and Disper not only did not rescue them immediately, but also laughed at their situation, Erza was immediately furious. However, it was not easy to lose her temper in this situation, so she could only pretend not to care: "I just heard that person say that Kurnuki was fighting with Diabolos's people. What's going on?"
"Well... it's just such a coincidence."
…
Ten minutes ago, Kira, Disper and Kurnuki came to the tavern of One-eyed Snake . Kira originally planned to send a reconnaissance robot in to get information, but suddenly felt a special magic coming from behind.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Kira stopped moving, Disper asked.
“Someone is coming!”
"Very special magic..."
Disper had no magic power and could not perceive magic like Kira and Kurnuki, so he did not hear the subtle footsteps until half a minute later.
Another minute passed, and a middle-aged man with a beard slowly emerged from the forest. He walked towards the three people, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Are you... the wizards of the One-Eyed Snake?"
"No! It's just that our friend was captured by them and we came to rescue him."
Kira carefully looked at the special magic on the other party. He was very familiar with this magic. It was dragon slayer magic, and it was the unique magic of the fifth generation dragon slayer wizard!
"Who are you?"
The bearded uncle looked at the three people with interest. His eyes first fell on Kira, revealing a hint of surprise; then he looked at Disper, and his eyes changed from surprise to confusion; finally he looked at Kurnuki, and his eyes turned into surprise again.
"I am a wizard from Diabolos, and I am here to destroy the dark guild One-Eyed Snake!"
It turns out that he is from there!
Kira's heart sank, and he secretly warned himself to be ready to fight at any time.
In fact, Kira had seen this bearded uncle once before. He was the defender of the final level of the "Dessert Competition" that Erza participated in a few days ago. His magical knife skills made Erza hate him for a long time.
In just a moment, Kira figured out a lot of things. For example, why he could carve such a lifelike dragon statue was because he had probably seen a real dragon.
As for the reason why he appeared in that town, it should be the same as the reason why he appeared here. Didn't Natsu encounter the wizard of the "One-eyed Snake" in Sweet City, which led to a fight and set fire to the town?
"This group of guys has several bases. I spent nearly half a month traveling through several cities. I was so tired that I couldn't even eat enough, but in the end, I only found their branches. I didn't expect to run into the headquarters this time. I'm really lucky!"
The bearded uncle was very excited at the moment. As a dragon slayer, his sense of smell was not inferior to anyone present. He had already seen through Kurnuki's true face, so what he wanted to say next was: But what was even more fortunate was that I met a dragon!
At this moment, he had already foreseen that after he said this, the two people who looked exactly the same would show fear and panic at the same time.
"But, even more fortunately..."
Before he could finish his words, Kira said seriously, "Oh, really?! Then you should treat yourself well later!"
Such inexplicable words stunned the bearded uncle in front of him. He murmured, "Huh? Ah... Of course... I have to reward myself!"
Then, he showed a sinister smile: "Just use..."
Reward yourself with the flesh of this dragon!
Before he could finish his sentence, Kira interrupted him directly: "Why don't you treat us to a meal as well?!"
“Huh?” The bearded uncle was completely confused.
Disper echoed: "I want a beef dinner!"
"Wait! I..."
Kira shook his head and retorted seriously: "No, I think a seafood dinner is better!"
"But the beef dinner is even better!"
“The seafood dinner is delicious, but more importantly, it’s expensive!”
"I see, I've discovered another difference between us!"
Seeing these two identical people talking so ridiculously, the bearded uncle wanted to interrupt them. He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to pull them apart: "No, in the end, why am I..."
"Actually, no matter what we choose, it's the uncle who makes the final decision, so we should ask him!"
"That makes sense. Sorry, uncle, we are being rude! Do you like beef or seafood?"
This question confused the bearded uncle, and he made a choice unconsciously: "Uh... seafood...?"
Disper angrily punched the air, "Damn it! It was so close!!"
On the contrary, Kira was very excited: "Yoshi! Then let's go eat seafood!!"
The three of them turned around and were about to leave, leaving the bearded uncle standing there in confusion: What just happened? Where am I? What was I going to say? ...
