Chapter 483: Pulling People
"Be prepared? How do you prepare?"
"The ultimate goal of the war is Mavis. If the target is right in front of us, there is no guarantee that they will not deploy all the 'Twelve Shields'. Can you resist them then?"
The Volod people were experienced and thoughtful, and they were also concerned about their safety. Those present were all magic masters with high moral character, so no one would do something like lifting the blanket, and no one would say things like "Why do you have so many questions, old man?"
Kira smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter! Because I can help... pull people in!"
"Pull people? You mean the kids from the guild?"
Volod frowned instantly, thinking that Kira wanted to take Gildarts, Laxus, Erza and others with him, and immediately reminded them, "No! They are too young and their strength is not enough to deal with this level of battle. They must not be involved!"
Wow! This is the first time I've heard someone say that our guild's wizards are not strong enough!
"Don't underestimate those guys, they are also very strong! And..." Kira tilted his head, "Who said I want to bring them in?"
“…”
"I have a wide network of contacts. It's no problem for me to find some strong people who are not weaker than the 'Holy Ten'!"
Strong reinforcement? Or not weaker than the "Holy Ten"? Do you really think people with this strength are cabbages? Is your statement reliable?
Volod looked at Makarov in confusion.
Makarov nodded to him, indicating that it was okay.
Volod: "..."
Really?!
When Kira said he wanted to recruit people, Makarov knew what this brat was thinking. Generally speaking, children cannot hide things from their parents.
With Kira's personality, what strong support can he find?
They are none other than the people of Witch's Sin, Disper, Kurnuki, and even Selene. Needless to say, their strength is completely reliable!
Suddenly, Kira raised his hand and said, "I have a question now too!"
"What's the problem?"
"What if Mavis can't help herself when she sees the Magic King, and the 'curse' is activated?"
“…”×3
The air was silent for a long time.
"Shouldn't this happen..."
…
Inside the Hope Hut, there were several figures sitting at the table having a meeting.
"How about it? What do you think of my conditions?"
"Are you serious? As long as we help you through this difficult time, you will lend us the house to live in?"
Kira looked at Disper, Kurnuki, and Selene in front of him and said with a very generous attitude: "Of course it's true! Anyway, I was planning to rent it out, so it's the same to let you stay temporarily. I remember that you guys either live in the mountains or in a hotel, right?"
Seeing that several people were somewhat tempted, Kira struck while the iron was hot and unconsciously added a hint of temptation in his tone: "The conditions in the mountains are so bad! The hotel is so expensive! In such a place where you are unfamiliar with the place and the expenses are high, how happy would it be if you had a warm house to live in?"
"Although it's only 100 square meters, not even one-third of the area here, it's enough for the four of you!"
The four people naturally included Suzaku, who had just started learning kendo from them.
"I always feel that you have bad intentions!" Disper stroked his chin and looked Kira up and down for a long time. "You, a miser, would do such a thing? I don't believe it!"
"I feel the same way! Also, I think that house is great!"
"Kurnuki is right! That house... eh?!" Disper said halfway, looking at the traitor beside him in surprise, "What are you talking about? Is this how you negotiate? Even if you're a dragon, there should be a limit to your low EQ, right?!"
"Besides, no matter how you look at it, it's more comfortable to live here, right? There are four of us, and he's only one, and this house is several times bigger than that one!!"
Dispel chattered on and on, obviously having coveted Kira's renovated house for a long time (several days).
In fact, the Hope Cottage used to be about 100 square meters, but when Kira was renovating the store more than half a year ago, he bought several surrounding houses and then connected them together, so it is much larger than when Disper first came.
"Okay, I think it's okay too."
Selene swirled her red wine glass gracefully, leaning against the window and drinking with the moon as usual. When she heard the voice, she turned around and said, "It is indeed a little crowded."
Kira curled his lips unnaturally, and complained in his heart: Crowded? Do you think you are still a dragon? That is a three-story, 100-square-meter, fully decorated villa! ! It costs hundreds of thousands of J per month to rent it out!
"As long as you like it..."
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. A black-hearted boss who does not pay wages will not have a good end. This is an eternal truth.
Without sufficient price, how could Kira hire these people?
After all, it was a matter of his own guild, so Kira had no choice but to reluctantly give up the house he had just acquired and had not even lived in for a day. Fortunately, the house was still his.
"Then it 's settled! The three of you will come with me when the time comes. As for Suzaku, he can stay in the guild. The big brothers and sisters will treat him well!"
…
It was still a familiar place, but with a different group of people hosting us.
Kira also has three targets this time.
"Is this why you called us here? Do you know that this has seriously affected my sleep time?!"
Urrutia's skin has become whiter and softer, obviously she has been taking good care of her skin during this period.
Kira looked at her in shock. "It's not even 11pm! How can you sleep at this time at this age when you're in your early twenties?"
"Isn't this the normal time to go to bed? Staying up late all the time is very harmful to your health!!..."
At this moment, Urrutia was not at all the self-pitying person she was in the original work. Instead, she acted like a shrew and made a fuss. Kira decided not to argue with her.
He looked at Gerard and said, "How about you come with us?"
"Can!"
Jellal agreed readily, looking at Kira seriously, "If the enemy is Zeref, I'm willing to help! And if this kind of thing is not stopped in time, it will indeed have a great negative impact on the Kingdom of Fiore!"
Hiss~
Kira took a deep breath: He actually considered the issue from the perspective of the kingdom. Could this guy really be controlled by the royal family?
Although he was very satisfied with Jellal's recovery, he still had to do some superficial work, so Kira excitedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother! You are so loyal!!"
Then he turned his gaze to the last person on the couch, Silver.
Silver did not come in his real body, but in a puppet body. However, for the people of the Mechanical Clan... the abilities of their real bodies and puppet bodies are actually not that different.
Silver is different from Val, because thanks to his two magics (Mechanical Dragon Slayer Magic and Mechanical Text Magic), each puppet he created is not much inferior to the original in combat power.
"I'll go too!" Silver also answered without hesitation, "How can I miss such an interesting thing?! The alchemist of the mechanical family... I can't wait to meet him!"
Done!
Jellal and Urrutia did not ask for any reward, because dealing with Zeref was the original goal of Witch's Sin.
Of course, Kira also deliberately concealed the fact that he could "be rewarded", just hoping that they would help him for his sake.
Silver did not ask for any compensation. He and Kira had maintained business dealings for a long time. This time, the two of them agreed to take the opportunity to expand the market to the Western Continent. Since it was a win-win situation, they naturally ignored this matter.
Hearing that they didn't want any money, Kira excitedly held Urrutia's hand.
Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with them, it was just that Kira felt like it would look weird to shake two grown men's hands.
"As expected! You guys are my good brothers... and sisters!"
Look, this is a true friend!
Unlike the red-haired guy before, who had a handsome face with extraordinary bearing but only knew how to take advantage of others, and I don’t know who he resembles with this kind of character that loves to take advantage of others!
I, Kira, am ashamed to be associated with such a person!
