Chapter 624: The Unexpected Appearance
In the cave, the huge emerald-colored figure gradually disappeared.
With the last trace of Kirconis left in the world completely gone, the Dragon Cemetery returned to its original tranquility.
After a long while, seeing that everyone hadn't come back to their senses, Kira complained first: "I said it was useless to summon it. All it said were things we already knew."
"Fifteen precious minutes of life wasted!"
Under everyone's strong request, Wendy used "Galaxy" to summon the undead of Kilconis.
The other party also cooperated with Erza and others' questions, and provided all the information he knew. He also told some stories about the Dragon King Festival and Acnorolia, and finally disappeared completely with laughter.
However, throughout the whole process, no one gained anything!
They were talking about things they already knew.
“Ahem… Although that’s true, being able to see the ghost of a giant dragon means that the summoning was not in vain.”
"You can earn money just by seeing it... I can't say it's wrong, but it's a bit tasteless."
"Anyway, let's follow the plan and find the dragon bones we need!"
The cemetery was very large, and the few people scattered and started picking among the corpses like they were buying vegetables in a market .
"By the way, did you know? A long time ago, there was a magic guild in Magnolia, and they had the skeleton of a giant dragon as decoration."
With nothing to do, Kira took the initiative to chat with Natsu and others.
"Nani?! Really?"
"I've never heard of it... How long ago was that?"
"How long? Let me think... about a hundred years ago, before Fairy Tail was founded."
Kira strolled among the dragon corpses, picked up a two-meter-long bone, knocked it to test the hardness, then held it in his hand and continued walking forward.
The bones pulled from the dragon might be used as good magical materials.
"That magic guild is called 'Blue Skull'. It was the most powerful force in Magnolia before the establishment of 'Fairy Tail'. It was also the predecessor of the later 'Phantom Ruler'."
"The predecessor of the Phantom?"
When Phantom was mentioned, everyone was stunned. It took them several seconds to remember that it was the guild that attacked Fairy Tail last year and was later destroyed by Makarov and his men.
"Yes, they are the predecessors of the Phantom! So you can probably guess what their character is like. They are just like the Phantoms, proud, greedy, cruel, and bullying the weak. In short, they are extremely bad!"
Kira didn't care and continued to discredit a bunch of losers.
"Gajeel still has the temperament of a bad guy! I often see him bullying Levi!!"
Happy looked like he was eating a melon, and spit out with his tongue rolled up: "Natsu, the 'bullying' you mentioned may not be the same as the 'bullying the weak' that Kira mentioned..."
"Hmm..." Lucy nodded in agreement. "It's completely different! I can prove that!!"
So everyone is a know-it-all, right?
Kira's voice faltered, and after a pause he continued, "The first four fought against them to regain the stolen Sirius Jade, and of course they won in the end, successfully destroying the evil force 'Blue Skulls'. This is why our guild and 'Phantom ' have been at odds for a hundred years."
"So that's how it is..."
It was late at night, in a cemetery deep in the mountains, a group of young men and women were searching for corpses and treasures. It was quite eerie when you think about it. In order to ease the atmosphere, Kira told everyone the story of "ZERO".
Of course, Jellal's contribution was also emphasized, and everyone was shocked after hearing it.
"What?! Zeref is the teacher of the first and second generations?!"
"What?! When did the second generation go blind?!"
"What?! The first generation actually has a ghost playmate?!"
Thirty minutes later...
"Alright! Everyone, stop for a moment and come over to summarize your gains!"
Hearing the sound, everyone gathered towards Kira's location, but their hands were empty.
"I couldn't find a keel of the right size."
"Neither have I."
"Me too."
“…”
Kira was immediately furious and roared at them, "Did you come here in the middle of the night just to listen to my story?"
"Even if you didn't find the dragon bone that Natsu needed, are you planning to return empty-handed? Do you understand the principle of plucking feathers from a passing goose ?! At least take a few bone sticks back as souvenirs like I did!!!"
Several people looked at each other and asked, "We don't like these things, so what souvenirs do we want?"
"That's right... who wants to look at a bone all day long? Even if you like it for a while, it will become creepy after looking at it for a long time!"
"Kira, do you want to take them back as souvenirs? I didn't expect you to have such an interest?"
"Of course not, I'm taking it back to make magic materials!"
"Magic materials?!"
Natsu and the others were all dumbfounded, only Erza seemed to be thinking about something.
She knew that Kira needed some strange materials when researching magic equipment, such as monster bones, hair, scales, body fluids...
Once upon a time, when Erza worked alone, she would bring back some materials for Kira, but later she formed a team with Natsu and others, and Kira didn't develop new magic props much, so she no longer did this.
"Dragons are the most blessed race in the world. They are born with huge magical powers and strong bodies. Even the bones left behind after death are very good magical materials. They can be forged into excellent weapons, armor and other things!"
As for forging technology, no one present except Kira knew it, so this topic had to be hastily concluded.
"Are we going back empty-handed? What about my keel chair?"
Before leaving, Natsu suddenly asked.
"It's highly likely that there is none left!"
Kira helplessly patted Natsu's cherry-colored head, which was a head shorter than his own. After rubbing it hard, he said, "But if you don't insist on using the entire dragon skeleton as decoration, and just want a chair, you can take some dragon bones back."
"When the time comes, have the workers incorporate the dragon bones you brought with you into the chair. Maybe we can create a chair that has the power of a giant dragon!!"
"Ohhhh!! It sounds like a good idea!"
Natsu instantly exclaimed and jumped for joy, as excited as a ten-year-old child.
However, the moment he turned around, his expression suddenly froze. After sniffing a few times, he quickly looked towards the empty shadows.
This change made the others stunned, and they all asked, "What's wrong, Natsu?"
“Someone is coming!”
"What?!"
"At a time like this?!"
"Who is it?"
"Maybe he's here to dig graves like us?"
Wendy on the other side also noticed it and said vigilantly: "No, this smell is very familiar, it's someone we know!"
Hearing that the person coming was an acquaintance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then a hint of doubt arose: "We know him... Could it be that the guild has sent someone again?"
Suddenly, from the depths of the shadow where Natsu was staring, there came a sound of footsteps that were neither fast nor slow, neither light nor heavy.
Since this cave is ventilated, there is obviously more than one entrance and exit. The direction from which the sound comes is not the direction from which Kira and others came in, which means that the people here entered from other entrances.
Dada... Dada...
There was only one sound of footsteps, and the frequency of walking was very regular. When the person moved, he would occasionally step on the bones on the ground, making a crisp "crackling" sound. The sound echoed in the empty Dragon Cemetery, firmly attracting everyone's attention.
If something like this happened in the middle of the night, if it wasn't a ghost, then someone was playing tricks!
As the footsteps got closer, the magic and scent of the person coming became clearer.
"No! This magic power..."
Kira frowned, as if he thought of something, his face changed immediately, and he took a step forward to block the crowd. Just as he did all this and looked into the depths of the shadows, the man just walked out from the shadows.
The person who appeared in front of everyone was a person who could not be more familiar.
Red hair, blue clothes, handsome, elegant, his face is as beautiful as a fairy, his temperament is as sacred as a god, his magic power is as heavy as a mountain and as vast as the sea.
The group was shocked for a moment, staring blankly at the person who came, then retracted their gaze to look at the figure blocking their way. The two looked exactly the same in appearance, demeanor, temperament, magic power and smell.
The person who came looked exactly like Kira!
"Hey, hey, hey...are you kidding me?!"
“This feels a bit bad!”
