Chapter 54: Markov: Erza should be able to rest assured
Three minutes later, Kira, who was punched on the head by Markrov, nodded and assured: "I understand, we will definitely bring Natsu and Lucy back safely, President, don't worry!"
"Hmph!" Markrov took a sip of wine, "Be serious, that place is not ordinary! Until ten years ago, the entire Kingdom of Fiore had never heard of anyone living in the depths of Zonia. This quest is too weird. I originally wanted to go there after Gildarts came back, or you, Laxus, and Erza could do it together, but I didn't expect this to happen!"
"What? You mean Gildarts can beat the three of us by himself?"
"I told you to be serious!" Markov tapped Kira's head.
Kira rubbed his aching head and complained, "I know! There are so many of us going together this time, don't worry, President! Although Laxus is unwilling to go, but with Natsu and Lucy who have already left, they can barely take his place!"
"That's right, President. Although I am also very angry about Natsu's reckless behavior, there is no need to worry about safety issues. Natsu is very strong!"
Erza was also confident in Natsu's strength. After all, they had just fought not long ago.
But she was worried about Natsu's IQ. S-level missions were not as simple as ordinary missions. Many times, the client would not explain everything about the mission, and various emergencies would occur during the mission.
Although there is Lucy, a smarter person, she is still a little lacking in strength.
"Well then, Erza, Gray, Cana, Rocky, Elfman, let's go!"
At Marklov's strong request, six people formed a temporary team to go for support, not only to bring back Natsu and Lucy, but also to successfully complete the mission. Since the mission has been accepted, they must do their best to complete it, otherwise it will damage the reputation of Fairy Tail.
At the same time, Kira and Erza are also responsible for gathering intelligence on Mount Zonia.
"But can we make it in time?"
"Don't worry!" Kira smiled, "We have an airship!"
In this world where most world skills are focused on magic and technology is ignored, magic airships are a rare means of transportation.
In Kira's memory, among the several regular magic guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, only the Blue Pegasus clearly owned a magic blaster boat, named Christina, which had the appearance of a Pegasus. In addition to being able to carry people and fly, it also had attack methods such as magic cannons.
But now, thanks to the presence of Kira, the gadget master, everyone in Fairy Tail also enjoyed the experience of riding an airship.
An airship is different from a flying carpet. The latter is just a magical blanket with no other functions except flying, and it doesn't even have any decorations. However, an airship is a real manned space vehicle with complete facilities.
Kira's airship is 30 meters long and 10 meters wide. It looks like a golden fairy. In front of it is the face of a fairy. Although it looks a little strange, no one cares about it. No one in this world has ever seen a fairy , otherwise the name of this guild would not be Fairy Tail. On the bow of the ship, there is also the emblem of the Fairy Tail guild.
The two sides of the airship imitated the body structure of birds, with light but strong wings, which could keep balance in the air. Under the wings, there was a row of magic cannons, with 10 muzzles in each row and a diameter of 50 centimeters for each muzzle. With just one button from the gunner, it could blow up half of the town.
The tail of the airship looks strange, but it is equivalent to the engine in the overall structure, and it also acts as a magic absorber and converter, which can provide sufficient energy for the movement and attack of the airship.
Most of Kira's gadgets have two things: one is the gadget that can absorb the free magic power in nature and convert it into energy power; the other is the magic power storage device.
These two things contributed greatly to the fact that his props were sold to neighboring countries.
Whether it is a means of transportation such as airships, cars, and ships, or magical weapons such as staffs, guns , and armor, the functions of absorbing, converting, and storing magic power are indispensable.
Kira didn't know whether other magic tools in this world had similar technologies. Anyway, these were researched by him. Although they were a bit crude due to the short research time and insufficient research manpower, they were sufficient for use at this stage.
On the airship, except for Erza and Gray who had ridden the flying carpet, everyone else had expressions of shock and envy on their faces.
Kana was still sitting cross-legged on the floor drinking wine like she was in the guild. "Why didn't you take out this good stuff earlier?"
"According to his personality, he would definitely say, 'Of course my props must be displayed one by one, otherwise the rest will just be left in the warehouse gathering dust', right?" Rocky smiled faintly.
Gray said to Kira, "You really have a clear character!"
"Who made me such a consistent person? You know, besides being a wizard, I am also a well-known wizard businessman. Honesty and trustworthiness are my first principles in doing business!"
Kira looked as if it was a matter of course, and spoke without thinking, without any pause or guilt, as if he was just that kind of person.
"Kira is truly a man! This airship is also manly!!"
"Everyone, be quiet!" Erza was still serious. "Remember this! Our goal this time is to bring back ! If they have already handed over the task to the client, in order not to affect the reputation of Fairy Tail, we will take over the task!"
Kira looked puzzled: "What are you talking about, Erza? Didn't we go there to explore the legend of the angel?"
Obviously, he had already put Markov aside.
Gray also smiled and said, "That's right! Don't worry about that guy Natsu! Just bring Lucy back!"
Cana and Rocky also smiled knowingly. It was obvious that they were not worried about Natsu at all. Only the Elfman was more realistic: "Natsu is very strong! It's just to destroy the monsters. There's no need to worry even if it's an S-rank mission."
"Anything can happen in a place like that. Most importantly, this is an act that is explicitly prohibited by the guild. We can't let him do whatever he wants!"
…
In the guild tavern, Markov had a worried look on his face. These children were becoming more and more disobedient as they grew older. He didn't know if they had listened to what he had just said.
After thinking about it, Markov could only comfort himself like this: "Others may not listen to it, but Erza should be able to rest assured."
Unlike Markov, Mira seemed to be in a good mood and was doing her waiter work with a smile.
"Mira-chan, weren't you worried just now? Why are you in such a good mood now?" Wakaba, who was smoking and drinking, looked at Mira who was moving among the guests.
"Because..." Mira turned around and explained, "Although Kira and Erza were also worried about Natsu, in order to prevent him from being punished by the president, they used the excuse of a quarrel to go and help. It was really heartwarming!"
"Besides, Elfman also went with us. No matter from which aspect, it makes me, as a sister, very happy!"
If Elfman heard these words here, he would be so moved that he would cry and shout, "Sister... I won't let you down!"
But now that his target is Wakaba, a heavy smoker, his emotions are naturally not as rich.
"Really?" Wakaba joked with a smile, "Based on my understanding of these guys, they might really just go there to quarrel!"
"How is that possible?!" Mira immediately put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Don't look at them like this, they are very reliable at times like this!"
"Hahaha...Mira-chan is really kind!!"
Markov also noticed this scene. It is said that people become more cunning as they age. He is already over 80 years old this year. Mira can see it, so there is no reason why he cannot see it. That's why he said that this group of guys are becoming more and more difficult to lead.
"I hope they can catch up and bring Natsu back. Also, don't make too much trouble..."
These guys are all good at taking over towns... Wait, the mission location this time is in the Snow Mountain, there are no towns, so there shouldn't be any problems!
Thinking of this, Markov's uneasy heart calmed down instantly. So many people were mobilized, and it was just an S-level mission, couldn't it be done?
"Mira-chan, I want a bucket of wine too!!!"
…
"Okay, let's forget about Natsu and Lucy for now, let's go solve the mystery of the legend first!" Erza said with satisfaction while eating the dessert that Kira brought on the airship, "After we reach our destination, let's have a great time!!!"
"oh!!!"
"Great!!!"
"Very good!!!"
