Chapter 764: The Guild Hidden Underground
Half an hour later, the banquet stopped and the wizards sat together, listening to the news brought by Loki from the Celestial World, as well as the explanations of the current president Kira and the former president and current advisor Makarov.
"It's not that we don't want to find Lucy, it's just that there's no way!"
"According to the information I obtained after infiltrating the Empire, Lucy opened the Eclipse Gate, which was designed by Zeref to allow people to travel back in time. However, no news came from Lucy after she entered, and nothing in the world changed. So there is no doubt that she activated a new timeline. This is consistent with the news you brought, the 'parallel world' mentioned by the Celestial King."
"As far as I know, the Eclipse Gate has never been opened since then, and we don't have the ability to travel to other worlds, so we can only wait for news."
Two years have allowed most people in this world to recognize their own hearts and know what kind of person they really want to be. Take the wizards of "Fairy Tail" for example, even though they still have some uncontrollable irritability, indifference, cruelty, jealousy ...but they have basically recovered 70% to 80% of their original personalities.
"Wait for news? You call this waiting for news?" Rocky reached out and picked up a newspaper that someone had placed next to him, pointing at the news on it and asked.
In the newspapers, one can see various headlines such as "Destroying the Train Station", "Kidnapping the Mayor", "Burning Wax Figures", "Disrupting the Cinema", etc., which clearly record the bad deeds of the wizards of "Fairy Tail" word by word.
"Well...we can explain it!"
Makarov narrowed his old eyes and said in a deep voice, "Just like destroying the train station, it was actually because someone had planted a bomb there, and we went to fight the criminals; kidnapping the mayor was because he took away our business... No, it was because he levied heavy taxes and abused the residents of the town; burning the wax figures was because the wax figures there were ugly and few, not even my wax figure, and if it was really built, it would only affect the appearance of the city..."
After hearing this, Rocky was so upset: "I must be dreaming! This world is really different from what I knew before..."
If it were in the past, Makarov would never say such words. The only one who would say such words was Kira. Makarov would only be angry because these kids did not know the severity of their actions and destroyed things everywhere at work. He would lose his temper in the guild and scold everyone, and then ask them to write a self-criticism with a smile.
Think about the Makarov in the past, what a kind and gentle person he was!
His spirit is as indestructible as steel, his wisdom is as deep as the ocean, his strength is as awe-inspiring as a mountain, and his eloquence is unmatched in the entire Fiore Kingdom. He can always make his family members burst into tears or be convinced.
Although he is short in stature, his body seems to be filled with endless power!
But now, that gentle, knowledgeable, and powerful old man, smoking, reeking of alcohol, crossing his legs, like a ruthless uncle, is explaining to these lawless guys why he is wreaking havoc in the kingdom! !
Is this what it looks like after a personality reversal? This is outrageous! ... Why didn't I encounter such a good thing when I was in the guild before?
Just as Rocky was sighing secretly, Kira suddenly asked, "Rocky, you just said that the power of the eclipse was taken away by the Star Spirit King, right?"
“No…that’s right…”
"Can you let me study that thing?"
"You want to study the power of the eclipse? That's something you can...wait!"
Rocky was a little surprised. He only knew that Kira was good at making magic props and magic weapons, but he didn't expect that he also dabbled in the research of props for space travel. "Could it be that you can use it to find Lucy's location?"
Kira emmm: "I can't guarantee it, but I can try."
The eclipse magic that was full of dark power and could even devour the Celestial King contained a huge amount of space-time energy. It was essentially generated by the Celestials, and Lucy's fate was closely related to the Celestials.
Whether it is traveling through time or traveling through the world, and how the world has changed since then, she is a very important character in the whole process, or to put it more directly, her position is irreplaceable.
After hesitating for a while, Rocky replied: "This... okay! But that power is not in my hands. You may have to go to the Astral Realm with me. The power of the eclipse is sealed there!!"
In the past, Rocky only believed 50% of what Kira said. Of course, this was mainly because he always liked to act and deceive people. But now, Rocky's trust in Kira's words has increased significantly - up to 70%.
One reason was the watch on his hand, which gave Loki a certain confidence and made him know that Kira had some ability in magic technology; another reason was that he believed that no wizard of Fairy Tail would abandon his companions.
Of course, there was another reason why Rocky agreed to Kira's request, which was that he had no other way to find Lucy for the time being.
However, Rocky's promise made the others around him eager to try: "We want to go too!!"
“And me!!”
"Lucy is also our companion, we can't let Kira go alone!!"
"That's right...I'm going too!!"
"Everyone, be quiet!!"
Kira suddenly shouted, stopping the shouting of the wizards. The fourth-generation president 's power in the guild was obviously higher than the previous three. "I'm going to the Astral Realm to study the power of the solar eclipse. I'm going to do serious work! Do you think I'm going there for fun?!"
The magicians lowered their heads , feeling extremely ashamed.
But there are always exceptions. Suddenly, a weak voice came from the crowd: "Isn't it..."
I have a bad temper...
Kira was immediately furious. He looked in the direction of the voice and shouted, "Whoever said that? Stand up! Let me see if that brat dares to challenge the president's authority!"
No one responded, and everyone even took a step back.
In the end, for the sake of his former teammates, Kira allowed the members of the 'Heart Force' to go on an expedition with him... No, to explore the Celestial World and study the power of the Eclipse.
The so-called 'Heart Force' is a special force set up in the guild after Kira took office as president. They are like the 'Seven Familiars of Purgatory' to the 'Devil's Heart' and the 'Nine Ghost Gates' to the 'Gate of Hades'. They are considered the elites of the guild, but in the form of a small team.
For example, the 'Heart Force' led by Erza, its members include herself, Natsu, Gray, Happy, Wendy, Xia Lulu, and Lucy whose whereabouts are still unknown.
In addition, there is the 'Thunder Force' led by Laxus, the 'Demon Force' led by Mira, and finally the 'Blue Shadow Force' led by Mistgang.
Yes, in this world, due to the occurrence of the "Nirvana" event, all subsequent events have changed, including the fact that Mistgon did not return to Edlas to succeed to the throne.
Because the Kingdom of Fiore was in turmoil at that time, after Edras used the "Soul" to pack the entire Magnolia into a magic crystal and took it away, Kira broke in and relied on the preserved magic weapons and the manpower he had summoned before to capture it in just one week.
In order to obtain more logistics in the subsequent wars, Kira maintained the connection between the two worlds and did not close it. The consequence was that the effect of "Nirvana" also affected Edlas.
Due to the reversal of character, King Faust of Edras became a wise and kind monarch, while Mystagon, on the contrary, became a villain prince, so he did not return to his kingdom to succeed to the throne.
To this day, the Empire has unified the entire Ishgar. Perhaps because Edrus is an independent kingdom in another world, Emperor attaches great importance to him. Therefore, he did not forcibly sever the connection between the two worlds, but continued to maintain the friendship between Ascalante and Edrus. The connecting channel between the two sides is located outside the town of Magnolia and is guarded by the Imperial Magic Army.
Anyway, by some strange coincidence, Mystogon has stayed in Aslantri until now. He basically lives on Kira's magic props. And because he looks like Jellal, Mystogon has always worn a veil and a turban to maintain his mysterious and powerful image.
Although the people in the guild already knew what he looked like.
