Chapter 72 Winter's Receiving Magic
Kira's attitude was quite sincere, but Poole heard an inexplicable gloating in it.
He looked at the unhappy Natsu, waved his hand and said, "No, no! It's not a problem. Natsu is a very enthusiastic person. I shouldn't have asked him to do a task of this level!"
What a kind old man... But what he said sounds weird...
Sure enough, after hearing what the bartender said, Natsu lowered his head even lower...
Kira ignored Natsu's frustration and stroked his chin and said, "Come to think of it, uncle, you don't seem to have any ? Aren't you worldly enemies?"
"Eternal enemies?... What can't be erased in a thousand years? The long-term peace has made the Isisnew family give up the hatred of unknown origin."
Poole said, "Even if, as you guessed, our ancestors did die because of the devil's scheme, we are not harmed by them now. Compared with obsession with revenge, peace and the continuation of our clan are more important."
"As for the magic that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is mainly for the purpose of having a power to protect the tribe members. At the same time, it is also preserved for the ultimate responsibility and honor."
Kira didn't know what to say about this attitude, so he just chuckled and said, "You people are quite open-minded..."
"I just didn't expect that the Isisnu clan, which has been secluded from the world for thousands of years and now has only a few people left, would have such an accident." At the end of his words, Poole sighed and took a few gulps of wine. "It's not surprising that outsiders would covet this power. I just feel sorry... Alas..."
"Have you ever thought about revenge?" Kira asked tentatively.
"I have thought about it, but I don't have that kind of strength, and I don't know what that man looks like. Besides, the world is so big, where can I find him?" Hearing the word revenge, Poole was obviously a little depressed. "Now I just want to watch my brother's daughter grow up safely, that's enough!"
"The only thing that worries me is that the kid is a bit stubborn. I don't know why he has to prove his strength."
Kira asked, "That little girl named Winter? I heard from Natsu that she is a very talented wizard. Has she never thought about avenging her father?"
Aren't children of this age generally very rebellious and have a kind of blind self-confidence?
"No!" Poole shook his head. "She is a very kind and mature child. Although she has become more reserved and stubborn since then, maybe it was because of what my brother said before he died. The only thing to be thankful for is that the child was not blinded by hatred."
Just when Kira wanted to ask more questions, the door of the tavern was pushed open.
Kira looked back and raised his eyebrows.
Speak of the devil and he will appear!
The girl had a cold expression, a sad brow, and some loneliness in her eyes that was hard to hide, but judging from her appearance, she was indeed a kind girl.
With just one look, Kira knew what kind of person she was.
He then turned his attention to the people who walked in behind her, none other than Cana, Rocky, and the unconscious Elfman.
Kana's eyes brightened up as she entered the tavern. Kira didn't know whether her change was because of the rich smell of wine in the tavern or because he was here.
"Kira, it's great that you're here!" Kana shouted, "Come and see, Elfman is poisoned!"
It seems that the latter is more common at present!
"Kana! Rocky! Elfman! You guys are here too?!" Lucy, Natsu and Happy walked towards the three people who came in, "What happened to you? How come Elfman was poisoned?"
Seeing Elfman thrown to the ground by Rocky and Cana, with a face that turned green and black, Kira realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly stood up and walked over to check: "Purification!"
Three spells fell on Elfman, Kana, and Rocky at the same time, removing the toxins from their bodies one by one.
Half a minute later, the strangeness on Elfman's face gradually faded away and became slightly rosy. With the help of Kira, the complexions of Rocky and Kana, who were sitting next to him to rest, also looked much better - until just now, they were all holding on, fighting the toxins in their bodies!
Seeing that the two had almost recovered, Kira asked, "Did you encounter a demon too?"
"Yeah!" Kana glanced at Klaue in the corner inconspicuously, "You caught one?"
Kira sat down on the chair: "Correction, I caught him! This guy is a demon who can transform into elements and use cloud magic. His magic is quite special. Natsu is totally no match for him. If I hadn't arrived in time, the cute harpy might not have been able to hold on until he got to the hospital..."
"What about you? Did you encounter someone who used poison?"
Kana explained: "He is a man who uses fog magic. According to what you said, he should also be a demon. He can also transform into an element. Poison fog is one of his methods. In addition, there is also corrosive acid fog and sticky fog that can stick two kinds of fog together and is not affected by wind."
Kira suddenly realized: "No wonder you were beaten like this, none of you have magic that can deal with this kind of tactics."
After thinking for a while, he continued, "I'll help you change the card after we get back!"
The sun is rising in the west? How could Kira do such an unprofitable business?
Cana gave Kira a deep look with strange eyes.
"Hey! What's that look in your eyes?"
Kira felt a little uncomfortable seeing this look. What does it mean?! Am I just a big profiteer in your mind?!
"Yes!"
As if she heard Kira's dissatisfaction from her eyes, Kana said something inexplicably, causing confusion among the people around her. They all wondered, "What's wrong with Kana?", "What did she say suddenly?", "Did she get her brain damaged just now?"...
Of all the people, only Kira, who was familiar with each other, understood.
Humph! What a damn tacit understanding! What a damn IQ! Kira always understands things that he doesn't want to understand! If only he were a little dumber!
"This time, thanks to this little girl's help..."
Ignoring everyone's gazes, Kana turned the topic to Winter and talked about being rescued before.
Winter has returned to his original appearance and is now tidying up the bottles that the bartender had not put away after drinking.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Kira thanked with a smile, "My useless companions are really causing you trouble!"
"You're welcome. I just don't want them to destroy my old house." Winter said calmly without stopping what he was doing.
"Hey! You guys! You came here to complete a mission but ended up asking the client for help. Aren't you ashamed?" Kira shouted, "This will make people laugh at our guild! When you go back, the three of you will have to undergo devilish training with Natsu and the others!"
Kira, this guy, never misses any opportunity to hurt others...
Rocky and Elfman lowered their heads. As men, wizards, and adults, they were saved by a little girl, which made them feel ashamed.
"What?! Natsu and the others took the mission, and the president only ordered you and Erza to capture them or take over the mission. Aren't we here for a trip?"
It's well-reasoned. As expected of Kana, she dares to go against Kira in this situation.
"Oh, you're right!"
Kira accepted this statement immediately, and then lightly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what kind of magic does that little girl use?"
He leaned close to Kana's ear and asked quietly, but his voice was not very low. Anyway, everyone in the tavern could hear it. It was unknown whether he did it on purpose or if she really didn't notice.
Kana, who was familiar with Kira's personality, thought that this behavior could indeed be funny and liven up the atmosphere, but she was still speechless: "Uh... It looks like receiving magic."
After saying that, she looked at Winter. After all, it was not a good idea to discuss other people's magic in person.
Fortunately, Winter didn't seem to mind. It might be because she had not been exposed to complicated social relationships since she was a child, or it might be because she simply felt that there was nothing that could not be told to others. She introduced her abilities very naturally.
"It is indeed receiving magic!" Winter said calmly, "The one who just received it was once one of those demons, and his ability is water."
Kira asked curiously, "So you are also receiving the demon soul?"
"No!" Winter stopped what he was doing and looked up at Kira. "I am accepting all life forms with water attributes."
