Chapter 533: Chatting will always lead to more and more irrelevant things
Irene answered decisively, and Selene was caught off guard by the rejection.
"Why...why..."
Selene tilted her head in confusion. She was puzzled. Was there something about what she said that was not inspiring enough?
(Erin: Nowhere!!)
"You ask why... I want to ask why!"
Irene looked at Selene, who looked confused and didn't seem to understand the ways of the world, and asked, "Why do I have to do those things? What does it have to do with me whether they die or not, or whether the world is in chaos or not?"
I only care about my own body. As for the era of dragons and humans, the five dragons perishing together, or the people who profited from it, what does it have to do with me? !
The fights you have in Kiltina are your business. What does it have to do with us, Araquitacia? Under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the Albares Empire has reached the point of governing by doing nothing. The northern continent... is just a wild land!
Selene was silent. She didn't know how to answer Irene's words. She could only think about what Irene said in her mind: It seems... it seems... she really has no reason to help me? Should I use force to coerce her? But if we really fight, I may not be able to beat her... at least I can't beat her in human form, and it's hard to say in dragon form.
In the Hundred Years Quest arc, Selene herself admitted that she could not defeat Suzaku in human form, but in dragon form she could kill the Dragon Hunter Guild President, whom even Suzaku was too scared to resist, with one palm. In other words, Selene's strength in these two forms is vastly different.
Even she is like this, not to mention Irene.
The attribute of Irene's dragon-slaying magic is 'Xian', a word often used in Japanese comics to represent a character's wisdom and knowledge. It looks similar to Eleftheria's 'Fa', but it's not entirely the same.
'Fa' focuses more on the amount of knowledge, while ' Xian' focuses more on IQ. In this world, 'Xian' also has another representative meaning, which is magical knowledge.
The magical knowledge here does not refer to knowledge in theory and research, but knowledge in use. In a narrow sense, it means the amount of magic mastered and the level of proficiency in magic, the power of magic after it is released, and so on.
Kira is called the 'Sage' because of his vast magical repertoire, high proficiency, and powerful magic effects.
Belserion, the wise dragon who gave Irene her surname and created the dragon-slaying magic with her, is one of the dragons that has mastered more magic spells and has a higher IQ. It played an indispensable role in Irene's creation of the dragon-slaying magic.
Irene has fragments of Belserion's power in her body, which is one of the reasons why she can use additional magic to such perfection.
"Since you don't want to, I can only find someone else." Selene sighed regretfully.
Although her first request for a team was rejected, Selene was not discouraged. If this person is not good enough, she can find someone else. Are strong humans rare? Isn't Fairy Tail right next to her?
Although she had not had much contact with them, she knew in her heart that the people of Fairy Tail were a group of warlike guys with brains and strength. As long as she persuaded them well, they would definitely help her!
After all, this is a fight for humanity!
Thinking of this, Selene gave Irene an inexplicable smile, then turned and left angrily. She was going to go back and read a few more books to make the subsequent negotiations smoother. By the way, she should also find out where she went wrong just now and why Irene did not agree to her request to form a team.
…
Kira's temporary residence.
"Is this the whole truth?"
After listening to Kira's story of Irene and her own life experience, Erza felt mixed emotions and stared at the starry sky in a daze.
On the one hand, she did feel sympathy for Irene's tragic experience, but on the other hand, she felt that the other party might be a potential enemy that could trigger a war. This contradictory mentality occupied her entire heart.
"I know it may not be easy for you to accept this at once, but... this is the truth!"
Kira spoke in a low voice, in a sad, sorrowful, and apologetic tone, "You must be disappointed, right? But I am indeed not your biological uncle. I am sorry for lying to you before..."
"I didn't believe your previous story at all, okay?! Why do you feel the need to apologize!!!"
"What ?!?!" Kira was struck by lightning.
"Who would believe such an outrageous story that was obviously made up on the spur of the moment?! The probability of such a plot appearing only in novels and happening in real life is extremely small, okay?!"
“Hey hey hey!! How could it be…”
After a long time, Kira finished the play, breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the inner room to pour himself a cup of hot water, and came back to ask: "How is it? After listening to such a tragic story, as the last abandoned daughter in the story, what do you feel?"
"Thoughts..."
Can this feeling be explained by feelings?
"It's like writing an 800-word essay or something like that, expressing your opinion... Didn't your teacher teach you that before?"
"Oh , I forgot, you didn't receive a traditional education..."
I had originally wanted to record Erza's thoughts, and even took out a pen and paper, but I ended up realizing that Erza's vocabulary wasn't much more than Natsu's, and that he couldn't speak.
Erza did not feel embarrassed. In such a magical world, as long as she could read, write, speak and use the knowledge, it was enough. Being semi-illiterate or having a low level of education was not something to be ashamed of. Besides, compared to most people in the guild, she was already very good.
"Who said I didn't learn it?! I also studied it for a period of time in Rosemary Village when I was young..."
This is pure nonsense. Erza was only seven or eight years old when she was captured and taken to the Tower of Paradise, but she has to be at least five years old to be able to remember things. She was an orphan in Rosemary Village, and she definitely had no time to study in order to make a living. The same was true during those years in the Tower of Paradise. It was not until she arrived at Fairy Tail that she had the conditions to study, and she was already eleven years old at that time.
As for whether she studied in the guild, didn't Kira know?
He only knew how to fight with Mira all day long. It was not until he was a little older and realized the importance of knowledge during the S-class magician assessment that he became a little more restrained and finally learned to sit down and read books - although his ability was very limited.
But in the past few years, probably because I entered puberty, I started reading some pornographic books, which is simply missing the point!
Kira has taught Erza a lesson many times about reading coloring books, but Erza refuses to change. For the sake of the guild's good atmosphere, Kira has no choice but to confiscate the books and criticize her severely when he returns home.
Kira was greatly disappointed by the review results. They were just some ordinary romance novels without any nutritional value. Kira returned them the next day.
The reason given is: girls mature early, so it is better to guide them than to block them.
In short, he has said all the good and bad things, and regarded all the good and bad people as good people.
"Rosemary Village... Come to think of it, are you still in touch with those friends? The catwoman and the three men."
Kira was talking about the people in the Tower of Paradise, Erza's brothers and sisters, and the licking... pursuers.
"Well, they wrote to me a few months ago. Simon found his sister. Wally found his brother. Then, they all seemed to have joined the Magic Guild and are doing well now."
Simon's sister is Kagura, the top member of the Mermaid Bell in the original work... Oh, she should be the one with strength and appearance; Wally's brother is Richard, the former "Six Demon Generals", and currently obeys the Fiore royal family in "Witch's Sin"; so which guild did they join?
The Mermaid's Bell seems to only accept girls; the Witch's Sin is for prisoners who have made mistakes, so I guess neither of them is...
Kira looked at Erza in surprise: "Joining the magic guild... I thought you would invite them to Fairy Tail."
"I did have this thought, but they said their current life is good and they don't want to leave their family and friends, so I didn't force it. Anyway, I can see them anytime in the future."
"That's true..."
Wait! Aren't we talking about Irene? Why are we suddenly talking about those little extras?
Kira was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be the first to start talking.
"Ahem... If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow should go smoothly. After that, I will go to meet up with Disper and the others to continue working on the next twelve shields. As for Irene... she might try the method I mentioned."
"What about you? What are your plans?"
Erza was silent for a moment.
