Chapter 617: As a dragon slayer, it’s normal to have a dragon bone chair, right?
"but!"
"Although I promised Natsu to use the dragon's corpse as a special chair for S-class wizards, do you have any relevant clues, President?"
“Not at all!”
In the guild, Makarov, with a bitter face, sat at the bar drinking alone. A group of wizards surrounded him, looking curiously at the old man who had just boasted.
Makarov was already awake, and after saying the words "I bought it", he woke up with a start.
The alcohol was gone and I was sweating all over.
This was not good news for an elderly man. Fortunately, he was a powerful wizard and his physical fitness was not so old that he would catch a cold from such a shock.
However, although there was no physical problem, the mental state was severely affected.
"I regret it now! Very much!"
"Boys, you must be careful about your alcohol tolerance in the future! Drinking will cause trouble!!"
Makarov sighed deeply, looking depressed, regretting his "crazy talk" more than ten minutes ago, "It's all your fault for making trouble. I fell for your trick!"
"You young men don't go to work, but spend every day in the bar drinking and looking at beautiful women. You also gang up on me, an old man, to bully me. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
"Hahahaha...you said that yourself!"
"That's right!! We didn't force you, President!"
Makarov glanced and said, "It's drunken talk, don't take that kind of talk seriously!"
Then came the old sayings, like "dragon corpses are really rare" and "the guild can't accommodate such a large thing", which made everyone laugh and the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.
“So disappointed…”
Natsu lay on the table with a bored look on his face, staring blankly at the delicious food and wine in front of him: "I thought the president could really find the dragon bone..."
Lucy put her hands on her curvy A4 waist and looked at Natsu helplessly: "It can't be helped, right? Before you brought it up, didn't you think about the possibility that the president couldn't do it?"
“But he told me to rest assured!!”
You just believed him? You are so gullible!
Kira felt that at this moment, Natsu was the kind of workplace rookie who would wait obediently when his boss told him that the company could not pay the salary this year.
"Anyway, your dragon bone chair should be gone, unless you can find the corpse of a giant dragon."
"Forget it! I don't want to kill a dragon just for something like this..."
Happy interjected and complained, "Natsu, you make it sound like you can beat a dragon."
Natsu: “…”
It's fine if others are trying to sabotage me, but you are my life and death partner, my dearest friend! How dare you do such a thing?!
However, Happy didn't seem to notice the depression in Natsu's eyes. He just kept chewing a fish, looking cute and silly.
Just when Natsu was about to abandon the 'dragon bone chair' plan and switch to another plan, Kira suddenly spoke up: "If you want to find the remains of a giant dragon, I know where to find it, Natsu!"
"Um?!?"
Natsu perked up instantly, propped up his palms, raised his head from the table, and looked at Kira in disbelief: "This...is this true? Kira?!"
"You actually know where the dragon's corpse is?!"
When the others heard the voice, they all looked over here, their eyes shining, hoping to hear some incredible news from Kira.
You know, because of Acnorolia's crazy slaughter, dragons have disappeared from this continent for four hundred years. Even if one or two migrated to other continents and survived, they are no match for human magicians like them, let alone killing them and obtaining their corpses!
Everyone knew that Kira had special intelligence channels, and they also knew that he was not someone like Makarov who would talk nonsense when drunk. He must have inside information to say that.
"Tell me about it!"
"Do you really know the whereabouts of the dragon's corpse?"
"As expected of Kira! He is well-informed! He is much stronger than that boastful president!"
" The latter part is redundant!!"
Facing everyone's questioning, Kira directly showed full confidence: "Of course! I know it very well!"
If you want to know where in this world there are dragon corpses, then of course it is in the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus!
Under the ground of the arena used for the Great Demon Battle, buried are the corpses of many giant dragons that died in the Dragon King Festival hundreds of years ago!
"There is an ancient battlefield near the capital. It is a dragon cemetery with many dragon corpses. We can go and dig one up to show off our wealth!"
"Well, Natsu? You wanna go try to dig it out?"
"As long as you can get it, the president will help you build a dragon bone chair! It's a handsome and cool dragon bone chair, and it's the first one in our guild!!"
"If you don't want it, this design style might be snatched away by Gajeel in the future. When others see that he has a dragon bone chair and you don't, they will only think that he is the face of our guild's dragon slayer!"
"Um……"
As soon as these words were spoken, Natsu immediately became alert and looked at Gajeel with narrowed eyes , with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
How dare this idiot Fire Dragon look at me like this?!
Gajeel noticed Natsu's gaze and snorted in disdain: "Who wants that kind of thing?!"
Kira was even happier and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Look, Natsu! With Gajeel's personality, he actually said something like this. It's obvious that he cares a lot about the dragon bone chair!!"
"That makes sense..."
The tempting words were like the devil whispering in one's ear. How could Natsu, a young man with the title of Dragon Slayer, endure such a test?
"Then let's go dig! I want to use a whole dragon bone to build my own chair!!!"
"You want a fart!"
Kira suddenly raised his eyebrows and changed his tone, like a little bear who succeeded in his conspiracy. He laughed evilly and said, "That's the corpse of a dragon! The bone of one toe is bigger than you. Where are you going to put the chair?"
The sudden change made Natsu stunned: "Well...why not just let it go to my house?"
Everyone was stunned: Do you want to hear what you are talking about? In your house? That small house that is crowded even for one person and has things piled up in a mess?
Makarov Tactics coughed twice, "Ahem... Natsu, even though the chair will belong to you after it's made, strictly speaking, it should be considered the guild's property rather than personal property! You can't take it home!"
“It seems so.”
Natsu was stunned for a moment: "Then... then put it in the courtyard outside the guild, or we don't need to put the whole corpse..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the minds of others suddenly became active.
"Hey, Guild Master, Kira! Since we have the skeleton of a giant dragon, why not use it to decorate our guild!"
"That's right! Let's let it hover over the guild. It will look super cool!!"
"Using the remains of a dragon to decorate the guild is much better than using it to build chairs or something! Even if it's just a skull, it's still big enough!"
When a group of people talked about rare things like dragon bones, the drunkards in the guild became excited, as if they saw the snow-white skin of a beautiful woman. They took advantage of the alcohol to start all kinds of romantic fantasies and proudly shared their new designs.
"I think we can place the dragon's feet on the guild building, so that all the citizens of Magnolia can see this sight!"
"Idiot! If that happens, wouldn't our guild be like being trampled under its feet? I suggest that we add a pair of wings on both sides, make a skull on the top of the head, and put the spine behind the guild..."
"Come on! You're just messing up a perfectly good dragon skeleton by doing this, okay?! I think it would be better to just leave the whole thing in the atrium!"
"Hahaha...putting the whole thing in the courtyard? Interesting! Then we can just build Natsu's chair and put it outside..."
"I don't want to! If that happens, I will have to go outside!"
The more Natsu listened, the more depressed he became. How could an S-class wizard's exclusive chair be placed in the atrium in the rain and sun? These guys were obviously making fun of him, just talking, irresponsible, and who was it?
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Makarov, who was roaring and scolding a group of drunkards, and realized who they learned this from.
After a while of noise, Makarov finally quieted everyone down.
"Well, Natsu."
"Go dig up the dragon bones with Kira first and see how big they are before making a decision."
"As long as you can find a small and complete corpse, I will have someone make a dragon bone chair for you!!"
