Chapter 645: Gray is depressed
"Eh?! Are you serious?"
"That Zeref is actually in Magnolia??"
Fairy Tail, Guild Tavern.
There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, followed by a series of "hissing" sounds of people sucking in their breath.
A group of wizards gathered together and chatted about the latest gossip in the town.
“Is this true… This is simply unbelievable!!”
"He's the legendary black magician who created countless demons! It feels dangerous for him to live so openly next to us..."
The fact that Jellal settled in Magnolia could not be hidden from the gossip news and was revealed by an unknown person.
In the entire guild, except for the president and those S-class wizards, only Lucy her team knew about the relationship between Zeref, Mavis and Auguste, so everyone else found this matter very strange.
"Isn't that the extremely evil wizard in the legend? Will he suddenly start a massacre one day? Will we be able to stop him then?"
"It's so scary here! I decided to start working like crazy in the next few days and try to stay away from Magnolia!"
"Forget it, I don't believe you can have such determination!"
Natsu didn't sit in his special chair, but sat in a regular seat, next to Lucy.
In his opinion, the chair was used to show off to his rivals like Gray and Gajeel. Compared to being treated specially, it was more comfortable to sit in an ordinary seat, so after showing off, he threw the chair with dragon frame decoration aside.
"If it's Zeref... then he is the one who created the 'Gate of Hades'?"
To this day, Natsu still has little idea of Zeref's existence. He only knows that he is a very important person to the first president, Mavis, and August .
With his IQ and EQ, he still couldn't fully understand what kind of complicated relationship "living together" and "having children" was. However, after comparing it with the people around him, he guessed that it was probably similar to his relationship with Lucy.
"Yes, that's him."
"That means he's an enemy!"
Having low emotional intelligence doesn't mean having a bad memory. Natsu hasn't forgotten the 'Gate of Hell' that suddenly attacked the guild on Tenrou Island.
The reason why Preshito was accepted to return to Fairy Tail was because he was originally a member of the guild and the guild did not suffer too much loss in that battle, but this was absolutely impossible for Zeref.
Since they attacked the guild, they are our enemies! We must not let them go no matter who they are!
"Although the members of 'Gate of Hades' are demons created by Zeref, it was Maldor who created and managed this guild. Their actions have little to do with Zeref."
Mardo Gil ?
Natsu thought for two seconds before remembering this demon. After he and Gray defeated him on Tenrou Island, he was captured by Kira and sliced into pieces for research.
"But if there wasn't Zeref, there wouldn't be these demons, right? So it's still his fault in the end!"
Gray's face looked a little ugly . When he mentioned the 'Gate of Hades', he thought of his father, the 'Book of END' that was still in Kira's hands, Deliora, his destroyed hometown, and Uru who died in front of him.
I started to feel depressed.
Because it was Zeref who created Deliora, which is why Gray's hometown, relatives, and master died. So if we were to say who in the guild dislikes Zeref the most, it would undoubtedly be him!
In the past, after knowing the relationship between Zeref and Mavis, he was still able to clearly separate the two, because at that time Zeref was still the emperor of the Albareth Empire and had ambitions to invade Ishgar, so they were still in a clear hostile relationship.
But now, they are openly dating in Magnolia and living together!
Living together!
Is he planning to ignore his mistakes? Do he think that those who died and suffered because of the demons created by Zeref can just turn the page so easily with a sentence like "their mistakes have nothing to do with me as the creator"?
How is that possible? ! !
How could I accept this so easily? ! !
He promised his father that he would personally eliminate the source of the devil. END is Natsu, who knows nothing, so he doesn't need to worry about it, but Zeref, the creator, is to blame!!
But... Gray can't beat Zeref!
Besides, with Mavis and Auguste around, going directly to their door might not necessarily bring good results.
After thinking it over, Gray could only numb himself temporarily with words like "It was Deliora who destroyed his hometown, not Zeref", "Parents and teachers don't want him to live in revenge", and "If Zeref goes on a killing spree, the people of Magnolia will be in danger" - although he didn't know how long this would last.
"Damn it! This is so annoying! Keep drinking..."
After drinking another half barrel of wheat beer in one breath, a noticeable blush appeared on Gray's face.
At times like this, only by getting drunk with Kana and other drinking buddies can I ease the pain in my heart a little.
"Lord Gray..."
Juvia, who was standing by, noticed that Gray was in a bad mood, and stayed by his side all the time, her eyes full of worry.
Kira looked at Gray who was drinking to drown his sorrows, and Natsu who was so well-behaved that he didn't argue with him today, and suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart.
In a sense, Natsu and Gray are different. Compared to Natsu, Gray is closer to the "protagonist template":
When he was young, his village was destroyed, his teacher died because of him, and his brothers and sisters developed their own careers outside with good prospects;
Now I have someone I like, teammates I can trust, and elders who can guide me in life.
The magic he uses is inherited from his master and father. He has cold abilities but a warm heart, and he has a special trick that can fight the enemy to the death...
He once carried a deep hatred, but after being educated by his master, the president, and his father, he established the correct three outlooks, was led towards a brighter future, and had a great, bright, and just life goal...
What a rich life!
In the world of fantasy novels, he would definitely be the protagonist!
In comparison, Natsu just can't find his father, which is completely unrealistic. It would be better for him to film "The Magical Adventures of the Broke Daughter" with Lucy! Or to form a group with Gajeel and others to debut as "The First Dragon Slayers", which would be much better than now!
The others seemed to have noticed Gray's mood as well. Although they might not understand the reasons, they could definitely see that he was not in a good state, so they did not continue to delve into the topic. They just chatted for a few words and then dispersed, or changed the topic to the 'Grand Demon Fighting Games' three months later.
"The Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show... This kind of activity has not only become popular in recent years!"
"A long time ago, at this time - in July, there was a war called the 'Dragon King Festival'. That was the prototype of the 'Great Magic Fighting Performance' that the Fiore Royal Family is going to hold now!"
In order to let the wizards of the guild know more about the Grand Magic Battle, Kira began to tell the story of the "Dragon King Festival" to the crowd.
"Dragon King Festival? What is that? Can I eat it?"
"Idiot! How is that possible!"
"Kira, do you know anything? Tell me quickly... It sounds very interesting!!"
Under the expectant gazes of the wizards, Kira moistened his throat with tea, then forcibly grabbed Flosh and held him in his arms. He prepared some melon seeds and fruits on the table beside him, and then he spoke slowly.
"That was a war that took place in this land and this kingdom. In fact, the casualties caused by the Dragon King Festival were dozens or even hundreds of times greater than those of the two previous trade wars combined, because dragons were involved in this war."
"Dragons fought against dragons, humans fought against humans, humans fought against dragons, countless kingdoms, wizards, and dragons were involved, and it lasted for nearly a hundred years!"
Kira used a clear and seductive voice to slowly tell the audience a half-true story.
"The whole story begins with a giant dragon that wants to be friends with humans..."
