Chapter 478 The Best Candidate
"Magic King..."
"What happened to him?"
Seeing Kira's serious look, the three of them couldn't help but wonder: In addition to his strong strength, is there anything special about him? Is he related to Kira?
Kira saw the reactions of the three people. Since the matter involved Mavis and Zeref, he decided to be more tactful.
So when they were drinking tea, Kira suddenly said, "The Magic King is the child of Mavis and Zeref."
“Poof!!!!”×3
Preshito, Volod, and Makarov were all startled at the same time. They spit three mouthfuls of tea on the table and looked at Kira who broke the news in disbelief, and cried out in shock: "What did you say?!"
Mavis is still a child!!
No, it should be said that her body is still that of a child!! And wasn’t she sealed in a magic crystal? How could she have a child?! Could it be before that?
Makarov looked suspicious and fixed his gaze on the two old seniors beside him.
But Volod was also confused: Mavis had a child? And with Jellal? When did this happen? How come I didn't know! What did I miss?
So he set his sights on Preshito, the person who was most likely to know all this. After all, he was the second generation and the last person to see Zeref before Mavis died, and it was he who sealed Mavis' body in the magic crystal.
From any perspective, he should know the most.
Preshito was more shocked than anyone else at this moment. As the last person to deal with Mavis's body, he naturally knew that this legal loli had a child with Jellal. After all, he was the one who delivered the child. However, he had never told anyone about this matter, so no one else should know about it.
He never imagined that due to the huge magic power inherited from his parents, Auguste had intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people and an extraordinary memory since birth. As early as when he was still in swaddling clothes, he learned the names of his parents , and later learned their information from other people.
Auguste experienced a difficult and rough childhood. By chance, he was taken in by Jellal and became the current leader of the "Twelve Shields".
From this point of view, the Magic King actually has the potential to join "Fairy Tail" because he is an orphan and has had a tragic experience.
He was an orphan, had a miserable childhood, was extremely talented, had extraordinary magic, and had a pair of awesome parents. Except for the fact that he did not have a large harem, he had exactly the configuration of the protagonist in a novel about an orphanage.
After listening to Kira's story, Preshito curled his lips in a strange look: I thought it was a secret known only to me, but it turned out that there were two people who cheated!
Who can withstand this?
"I never expected that something like this would happen back then, and I had no idea about it..."
Volod sighed with a hint of annoyance and regret.
In his opinion, if he had known about this at the time, he would have stopped Preshito from abandoning the child, and this kind of relationship would not have happened.
Kira understood and complained in his heart: Who told you to be busy with the harvest festival at that time...
After hearing this, several people were silent, so Kira had to continue asking: "This is what happened. Do you think there is hope?"
"Hope? What do you mean?" Makarov was still a little confused.
Anyone who suddenly says that there is such an existence will not be able to calm down for a short time. Kira felt the same way when he saw this, especially when Auguste left the stage, he felt an irrepressible regret.
Fortunately, there is still room for turnaround.
"Of course we play the family card and let the first generation take action!"
Kira said as a matter of course, "If we can get the First Generation to personally convince Zeref and the Magic King, we might be able to avoid this war!"
"Do you understand, President? The most suitable candidate for negotiation is not you, but the first generation!"
"Now that I've finished speaking, who of you is in favor of this idea, and who is against it?" Kira sat back in his seat and looked at the three people leisurely.
As the chief of intelligence, his job is to provide intelligence, and his suggestions are all made on the basis of being the 'future president'. As for making decisions, that is the president's job.
This is the same as working in a company. The subordinates only need to do their own job well, and the boss makes the decisions if there are any problems. If something goes wrong in the end, the boss will bear the main responsibility.
Makarov lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
He knew that what Kira said might be the best way, but disturbing the rest of the dead was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it, especially since the other party was the founder of the guild.
Preshito and Volod were also weighing the options at this time, but they were considering more.
The main concern is that if the negotiations fail in the end and Mevis is detained by the other party, it will undoubtedly be a further blow to them.
After a long while, Preshito said, "I think we need to tell Mavis about this matter. Let her decide whether to go or not!"
You really understand the essence of pushing the pot when you say this...
Kira sighed secretly, thinking that a man who used to be a boss always spoke differently!
This suggestion was finally agreed by the other two, so they unanimously decided to set off for Tenrou Island the next day to talk things out with the ghost of Mavis.
Mavis' current state is a ghost, not a thought body.
Both are products of magic and mental power, but in different proportions.
The biggest difference is that ghosts are usually invisible to people. People in the guild can see Mavis because they have the guild emblem on them; the thought body can be seen and touched by people. After all, it is just a thing created by magic and can be eliminated at any time.
What surprised Kira was that even though Preshito had been away from the guild for 49 years and even formed the 'Devil's Heart', the guild emblem of 'Fairy Tail' was not erased from his body.
What is this?
How can one person have the emblems of two guilds at the same time?
Humph! A fickle old man!
…
The next day, on Sirius Island, four figures set foot on this isolated island far overseas.
A year later, the place has returned to its original splendor.
The sun is shining, the trees are lush, and the shadows are numerous. What meets the eye is a painting made up of three kinds of pigments: gold, emerald green, and light ink. The salty and humid sea breeze hits the face, mixed with the fragrance of the island soil, which is better than the new products of Magnolia's most popular perfume shop. The calls of unknown birds can be heard in the ears, which are chaotic but their joy can be felt, as if it can arouse people's desire for adventure, making people unconsciously yearn for it and want to find out.
"This place has recovered very well... You can't tell at all that it has been through such a war."
As soon as he got on the island, Kira felt full of energy, as if all the negative buffs were dispelled and purified. He was bathed in holy light, warm and comfortable, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in his heart.
“Oh, oh, oh… Nothing has changed here…”
Volod was in a very good mood after setting foot on Sirius Island after a long absence. He ran around like a child who had moved into a new home, looking here, touching there, and touching the green plants and flowers on the island.
"Why do I feel like the island's gains seem to be more obvious than when I came here last year? Is it because the guild's buff is more powerful? Or am I able to sense more now?"
Kira looked at Preshito, after all, it was he who made this thing.
"It wasn't me, and it couldn't have been Mavis."
After a moment's silence, Preshito said, "Although she has that talent, according to what you said, she is now living here in the form of a ghost, and should not be able to change my magic circle."
After closing his eyes and feeling it carefully, he continued, "This feeling... should be the self-enhancement of the earth's energy."
? ?
Even Kira, who was always serious and studious, was confused at this moment, although he could roughly imagine what it was from the literal meaning.
"Tenrou Island is called the 'holy land' not only because it is where Mavis and I first met, but also because it is a natural treasure land with a special magical power."
"The magic circle I set up at that time used this magic power as its energy source. Now it seems that the magic circle has automatically strengthened due to the cleansing of the magic power. However, this strengthening is very slow and subtle, and ordinary people cannot detect it."
After saying that, he gave Kira a strange look, secretly marveling in his heart: This kid can actually sense even these changes?
Kira noticed the surprise in Preshito's eyes and felt a little proud.
Although I am not as good as Zeref, Mavis, and Preshito in the theoretical research of magic, I am a gifted person!
"snort!"
As if sensing Kira's boasting, Preshito snorted coldly and walked into the woods on his own.
"Let's go find Mavis!"
