Chapter 713 Wendy is missing? !
In order to find out the specific information about the 'Nirvana' of this world for Lucy No. 1, the people of 'Fairy Tail' did not hold a party tonight, but went out in two groups to look for clues in two places.
The first route was led by Makarov, and he was accompanied by Gajeel, Levy, Lili, Gray, and Juvia. They went to "Crow's Tail" together, hoping to pry open the mouth of Brian, an ambitious man who once coveted "Nirvana".
Elfman and Lisanna took Wendy and Xialulu to the Blue Pegasus, hoping that Xiang's ancient magic book could provide some answers.
It was late at night, and the huge street was silent except for the faint flickering of the crystal street lamps. The shadows looked eerie and scary in the flickering changes.
However, such a scene could not scare the three wizards and one cat.
Wendy, Xia Lulu, Elfman and Lisanna walked dejectedly on the street. Not long ago, they came out of the hotel where "Blue Pegasus" was staying. The ancient book that Xiang had read did not give them a definite answer, so they were not in a good mood now.
“Wendy, you don’t have to come with me… Just let me, a man, handle this matter!!”
Elfman's unique voice and catchphrases livened up the originally gloomy atmosphere.
Wendy shook her head, clenched her pink fist, and said with a firm look: "Since this is related to Nirvana, I have the responsibility to find out for Lucy-san in that world!"
"Because of the guild you used to be in called 'Cat-turning Inn'?"
"That's right! President Robinlu is a very important elder of mine. If he knew that Nirvana had such a big problem, he would definitely blame himself..."
Wendy held Xia Lulu in her arms, lowered her head and looked at her alternating . When she mentioned Robinlu, there was a clear audible sense of depression in her voice.
She is 14 years old this year. She was 5 years old before she traveled through the eclipse. She stayed in Fairy Tail for two years, and Robinlu was with her for the remaining seven years.
It can be said that this old man who created 'Nirvana' for world peace and remained in the world in the form of a thought body for more than four hundred years in order to seal 'Nirvana' is second only to, or even higher than, her mother Grandine in Wendy's heart.
"Wendy, are you okay?"
Feeling the girl's emotions, Xia Lulu flew out of her arms worriedly, stretched out her paws and touched her head to comfort her.
"Yeah! Don't worry, I'm fine!!"
Others didn't know, but Xia Lulu, who had always been by Wendy's side, knew clearly that ever since Lucy No. 1 appeared today and reversed the light and darkness of World No. 1 through "Nirvana", Wendy had been in a bad mood, with her brows furrowed and never relaxed.
"Compared to this child, I think he must be in a lot of trouble..."
Looking at Wendy who was forcing a smile, Xia Lulu felt distressed again.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by in the distance on the street.
"Hmm?? Something is wrong!!"
Elfman, who was walking in front, stopped immediately.
Even though he usually maintains the image of a rough and rude man in the guild, Elfman is actually a very thoughtful man and he was the first to notice the abnormality around him.
"What's wrong??"
The girls looked at Elfman's warning at the same time, and then quickly became alert.
At this moment, the only sound that reached my ears was the gentle wind blowing through the street, and the slight noise coming from afar mixed in the wind.
"Nothing, I just seemed to see a dark shadow flashing in front of me, but now it's gone..."
The air was silent for a moment. There was still nothing unusual around him. Elfman could only scratch his head awkwardly. "Maybe it's an illusion?"
"Really... Elfman, are you too nervous about Nirvana?"
Listening to Lisanna's complaints and Elfman's apology, Wendy suddenly said, "Well... Actually, ever since I left Blue Pegasus, I've always felt like someone was watching me..."
"Huh?! Really?!"
"Then maybe the shadow I just saw wasn't just an illusion..."
These people did not participate in the competition, so they should not be well-known. Now they are being targeted by people of unknown origin. I am afraid that their malice outweighs their good intentions.
"But who could it be? And for what purpose?"
Disrupting the game?
It shouldn't be possible! 'Fairy Tail' is the strongest magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore. Who dares to challenge it at this time? Not to mention that the three of them are not contestants, the organizers of the competition have now transferred the magicians from the 'guild' format to the 'team' format, so they can't be competitors from other guilds!
Could that be a personal vendetta?
The probability is also very low. After all, they are all honest wizards, and Wendy is a kind and harmless child. It is basically impossible for her to make enemies with others.
The last possibility is that the enemy is not targeting the three of them, but the wizards of Fairy Tail. As for the enemies of the guild...
"Could it be 'The Tail of the Crow'?"
This is the most likely suspect, but Makarov and others have already gone to the hotel where the "Crow's Tail" is located tonight. If they found anything unusual, it would be impossible that there would be no movement until now.
Elfman brainstormed for a while, but still couldn't come up with an answer. He could only choose to calm down first: "Anyway, let's go back to the hotel! Lisanna, Wendy..."
His voice stopped abruptly, because after he turned around, he was shocked to find that Wendy, who was supposed to be behind him, had disappeared without a trace! !
At this time, Lisanna and Xia Lulu finally realized that something was wrong. They looked at the place where Wendy had been standing, their pupils trembled, their faces were full of horror, their hair stood on end, and they broke out in cold sweat.
"Wendy...is missing?!"
…
One hour later...
"What did you say?! Wendy is missing?!!"
When Elfman brought Lisana and Charlu back to the hotel and informed everyone of Wendy's disappearance, it immediately caused an uproar.
"This is all my fault! I failed to protect Wendy!" Elfman sat on the ground with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face. He pounded the ground hard in annoyance and lowered his head, not daring to face his guildmates.
This was the second time he failed to protect his companions.
"It's no one's fault, you don't have to feel guilty!"
Xia Lulu had a worried look on her face, but she still flew out to explain for him: "We have searched everywhere nearby, but there is still no . It's as if he disappeared out of thin air..."
"How could a good person disappear out of thin air?! Have you tried to look for him seriously?" Macao and others frowned, and they even lost interest in drinking and bragging.
Now that no one who can take charge is in the guild, it is up to the uncles like them to stabilize the situation.
"Of course I did! I flew up into the air and searched for more than half an hour, but I couldn't even find Wendy's shadow or even smell her."
"We can't wait here any longer! Everyone, go out and look for him!!"
Makao scratched his hair, stabbed out the cigarette in his mouth irritably, waved his hand, and shouted to his companions around him: "And, Happy, Jet, Troy, the three of you, go find the president, Kira, and Laxus now and tell them this news!!"
"Especially Natsu and Gajeel. They have to rely on their noses to find people!"
"Oh right! There are also Stinger and Roger! They are also dragon slayers, so they should be able to come in handy. Bring them along when we're looking for someone!"
"Wolian, you stay here and use magic to connect everyone in the guild at any time!"
"Be careful not to implicate other people. During this period of time, there are all kinds of people in Kurokas because of the 'Great Magic Fighting Games'. We still don't know the reason for Wendy's disappearance. The fewer people who know about this, the better, so as to avoid being taken advantage of..."
I have to say that Makao is worthy of being a veteran of the guild. No wonder he was able to become the fourth president in the comics. Although he is not strong, he has rich experience in social life and his on-the-spot response is still acceptable.
Under his command, all the wizards of Fairy Tail set out and began searching in all directions, centering on the place where Wendy disappeared.
Not long after, Kira, Laxus and others who had finished the team formation meeting received the news. Without much hesitation, the two of them immediately joined the search team.
"Natsu, Happy, it's up to you this time!"
"Leave it to us!!" Natsu used his nose to the maximum efficiency and soared into the sky with Happy.
Only after Natsu and the others had all set out did Kira turn around and look at Wallian who had stayed in the tavern.
"President, are they not back yet?"
