Chapter 619: The Star Spirit Key and the Emerald Princess
In the Fairy Tail world, there are eighty-eight Star Keys, corresponding to the eighty-eight constellations in the sky.
The eighty-eight constellations are divided into: circumpolar constellations (5), northern constellations (19), zodiacal constellations (12), equatorial constellations (10), and southern constellations (42).
Most of the star keys are silver-white, but the stars of the zodiac are more important and more powerful than other stars, so the color of the star keys is gold. Ophiuchus has the most special geographical location, so the color of its key is black.
Currently, Lucy has all the keys of the zodiac, as well as several silver keys, which is quite a rich amount for a celestial wizard.
But the number of Star Spirit Keys scattered around is three or four times more than the keys Lucy has in her hands!
Kira is a person who likes collecting. Although the Silver Key is not as powerful as the Golden Key of the Zodiac, since he has encountered a new Star Key, he naturally wants to buy it.
The shop owner noticed that Kira had been standing in front of the key for quite some time. He thought that the man in front of him was so handsome and his clothes made him look rich, so he must be very generous. He immediately came up to him with a smile on his face.
"Does the customer want to buy a Star Spirit Key?"
Kira nodded, pointed to the Celestial Spirit Keys on the shelf, and asked, "What constellations are these keys from?"
Although he had some knowledge of them, Kira really couldn't remember these constellation patterns. Not to mention the silver keys in front of him, he couldn't even tell the difference between the constellation patterns of the twelve zodiac signs.
"Please look, from left to right: Draco, Andromeda, Vulpecula, Hercules, Monoceros, Cetus, Volans, Telescope, Canis Major..."
The fat boss listed all fifteen Star Keys in a row, and spoke eloquently, leaving Kira stunned.
"Boss, you are amazing! There is no label on it, how can you remember it so clearly?!"
The fat boss smiled proudly, and the fat on his face trembled: "These are all basic operations! Who doesn't have this ability when opening a store in the capital?"
Kira was immediately filled with awe and sighed inwardly: "No wonder my business is getting worse and worse, it turns out there is a reason..."
But after thinking about it, Kira was relieved again: In the service industry, it is normal to do this! It is because of his job as a wizard that he has the confidence to be so careless about the magic shop, but they can't do that!
Thinking of this, Jira suddenly felt ashamed, so he let out a rare sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Alright! I want all of these! Please help me pack them up!"
As soon as these words came out, a sense of heroism suddenly arose in my heart.
"Gulu... you want all...all?!"
The fat boss was so shocked that his eyes dropped to the ground. He looked at Kira in disbelief. He felt that the young man in front of him was so dazzling and charming. He was so moved that his eyes were full of tears and his face was flushed.
"Oh my god!! This is the first time I see such a handsome guest like you!!!"
Kira smiled modestly: "My appearance is just ordinary! Who of you who is reading this is a hundred thousand times more handsome than me!"
The Zodiac Keys are expensive, but the Silver Keys are much cheaper, ranging from 10,000 J to 1,000,000 J, because they have different uses.
For example, the Canis Minor Pru in Lucy's hand is of little use, so the price is very low. I heard that she only spent 19,000J when she bought it, which is the price of the Canis Minor Pru minus 1,000J.
But the silver keys Kira has bought now are different. Draco, Hercules and Monoceros are all the best among combat-type celestial spirits, so their prices are naturally more expensive. Andromeda and Vulpecula, although they are ornamental celestial spirits, but it is said that the former has a stunning face, elegant posture, and fairy-like air, and is a popular star in the celestial spirit world. The latter feels very good, so the price is also very high.
As for how the shop owner knew the appearance of these Protoss, it was of course because there were records left by Protoss wizards in the past.
After a round of bargaining, Kira finally spent 2 million J to buy all the silver keys, and left the magic shop with the fat boss's respect.
2 million J is just the price of one or two S-level jobs, which is a drop in the bucket for Kira.
That’s how much a magician’s income is!
…
Twenty minutes after Kira left the magic shop, another person walked in.
The man seemed to be looking for something. He walked around the huge store for a long time before slowly approaching the fat boss: "Boss, I heard you got a batch of Star Spirit Keys?"
The fat boss looked up at the person in front of him, rubbed his hands with an apologetic smile and said, "I'm so sorry, that batch of Star Spirit Keys was just bought by a customer in one go."
“You bought them all?”
"Yes, all of them!"
"Is that so... Then there's nothing we can do..."
The man who bought so many Star Spirit Keys at one time must be a Star Spirit Mage. Such a person would not be willing to sell the keys anymore.
"Sorry to bother you."
"It is our honor to serve you."
After the man walked out of the magic shop in disappointment, a tall figure followed him and said, "Princess, did you buy the Star Spirit Key you wanted?"
The girl called the princess shook her head in disappointment: "No... It's too late. Someone has already bought the key."
This man and woman are none other than the Princess of the Kingdom of Fiore, Hisui E. Fiore, and the leader of the Sakura Knights , Arcadios.
Few people know that Princess Emerald, the future heir to the Kingdom of Fiore, is a magician, and an extremely rare celestial magician.
Not long ago, Princess Emerald heard that there was a magic shop here that was selling Celestial Keys. As a Celestial Wizard, it was necessary for her to collect props for her own use. So she ran out of the palace on purpose, intending to collect these keys. However, she was still a step too late and was beaten to the punch by an unknown person.
As for Arcadios who was accompanying her... It's normal for a princess to have a bodyguard when traveling, right?
Sensing the princess's disappointment, Arcadios immediately asked, "Do you need me to send someone to find out the news?"
"No need, just continue to collect information about other Star Spirit Keys. Let's go!"
"yes!"
As a princess of the Fiore royal family, Emerald E. Fiore has been aware of the special nature of her identity since she was old enough to understand.
She considers herself lucky for many reasons.
For example, his father, Thomas E. Fiore, was not the incompetent king, cruel and merciless monarch, or arrogant and licentious emperor described in history books. Instead, he was a diligent, kind, righteous, lively, and lovely old man who loved pumpkins.
For example, she is the only daughter of King Thomas and the only heir to the throne. She has no brothers or sisters who want to fight for power, nor ministers or generals who want to usurp the throne.
For example, although the Kingdom is located in the center of three continents, it is a permanently neutral country with no war on its borders for hundreds of years. It is very peaceful. Relying on its geographical advantages , the Kingdom's economy has developed rapidly and its people live and work in peace and contentment.
Since the end of last year, when Fairy Tail completely destroyed the Balamu Alliance, although there are still occasional small-scale conflicts among dark guilds within the kingdom, with the joint efforts of the Council and local magic guilds, the kingdom is generally peaceful. In addition, the country has the number one magic guild in Ishgar and several of the Ten Holy Wizards, which means the country is rich and the people are strong.
Everything is so beautiful, so beautiful that Jade wants to act like a demon and cause trouble.
No, it should be said that I want to prove myself!
As she grew up, this pampered and arrogant princess was eager to prove to the people, her father, the ministers and generals of the kingdom that she was a capable princess and a qualified queen of the kingdom in the future, and not a straw bag who sat on that chair because of her background!
But how to do it?
How can I prove my ability?
Just enough merit or fame!
But the Kingdom of Fiore is a permanently neutral country. She cannot rely on war to prove herself. Not only does she not want to, her citizens don't want to either!
If you can’t prove yourself internationally, then you can only turn to the domestic market!
Financial economy, military management, cultural communication, magical development... there are many choices she can make.
But King Thomas did all of this very well!
After Princess Emerald's long observation, she discovered that her father's abilities were far superior to hers in every aspect, and there was almost nothing impeccable about the way he handled the kingdom's government affairs. Even if there were, these flaws had disappeared one after another in recent years, and by the time he abdicated, they would no longer exist.
Princess Emerald knew that this was her father paving the way for her, hoping that it would be easier for her to manage the kingdom in the future.
But... this is not what she wants!
Princess Emerald is an ambitious woman who wants to prove her ability, but King Thomas has done everything he can, leaving her with only a smooth road ahead.
"Then I am not a waste?"
"I am the princess of this kingdom, the future queen, and I absolutely cannot be a useless person who can only lie down!"
"Why should I be in this position if I can't make this country a better place?"
Since government affairs don’t work, we can only start with the magical world!
Princess Emerald quickly found her target.
