Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

"Downhill?" An Ye recalled it carefully, then took out the pendant, and found that there was indeed a slight slope between the pendant and the ground, so he frowned and said, "It seems to be the case, this valley is really strange!"

Kong Nai asked suspiciously: "What's so strange? It's not impossible for such a terrain to appear!"

"No, the strange thing is not the terrain, but these trees!" Eric turned back and explained, "Generally speaking, the energy of the plant itself has a constant standard. The farther away from the roots, the weaker the plant's ability to deliver nutrients , that is to say, under the same conditions, tall and luxuriant can only choose one of them.”

"To put it simply, it is either tall with sparse branches and leaves, or short with lush branches and leaves. But these trees in front of you are both, isn't it strange?"

A few semi-literate people who hadn't read any books since they were young were stunned for a while, and nodded with half understanding.

Eric continued: "Of course there are exceptions, but they are only a few, and they are all in places where the land is nutrient-rich! But according to the location of this valley, it is simply not enough to support so many trees at the same time!"

"so what?"

Eric smiled confidently: "I think there must be something special here to make them look like this! If there is no accident, it is the ghost of some research institute!"

"Huh?! Why do you say that?"

"Do you think that these trees grow so tall and dense just to cover up something?"

"..."

Sawyer said: "This kind of statement is too ridiculous! Is this just your guess?"

"No! I'm not just guessing! Because after entering here, the sound I can hear has become very limited. This is a phenomenon of magic interference!"

After finishing speaking, Eric looked at the trio walking in the front and asked, "What do you think?"

Kira gave him a blank look: "What do you think? I squint!"

Eric: "..."

What's wrong with this guy?

Kira looked proud and said as a matter of course: "You have said everything you can pretend to be, what do you want me to say? I said that you usually seem to be such a smart person, how could you make such a mistake? Do you understand what it means? 'The rule of survival in the workplace is that you must never steal the boss' limelight'?!"

Everyone: "..."

Sawyer leaned over to Eric and asked in a low voice, "Can't you hear your heart?"

Eric rubbed his brows and replied, "I can't hear his inner voice clearly now!"

Sawyer patted Eric on the shoulder and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work..."

"We're all brothers, for everyone's future life to be easier, it should be!"

It may be that they were also exploited, which made the friendship between them deeper.

Cuberios: "Hiss..."

Chapter 240 Four Some People Want to Be the Vice President

Urrutia, who was already familiar with Kira's character, ignored the communication of the few people, but looked at a big tree beside him thoughtfully, and while reaching out to touch it, he said softly: "But, what Eric said is true. There is some reason! No matter how rich the land is in a forest, the trees must be tall and low. It is almost impossible for all the trees to be as tall as you can see with the naked eye!"

She is a user of the arc of time, and her sense of time is far beyond ordinary people.

Gerald nodded silently, and said, "That's true! Moreover, since I entered here, I have always had the feeling of being watched!"

Kira turned around abruptly, and said, "You shouldn't have done too many bad things, so you started to become suspicious, right?"

"..."

Gerald pretended not to hear Kira's complaints, shook his head and replied, "Probably not!"

Before he could say a word, Kira suddenly punched a big tree beside him.

boom!

The fist wind exploded, piercing the big tree in half, two holes the size of heads appeared one after the other, the smoke and dust stirred up, sawdust flew horizontally, and the bark scattered.

At the same time, a thing flew out of the tree, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air.

pat!

The object fell heavily on the ground, and only had time to make a few sharp and piercing beeps before it completely died down and there was no more movement.

Kira made another move with his right hand, and the invisible gravitational field was released immediately, sucking everything on the ground into his hand.

Everyone was taken aback by Kira's sudden move at first, but the subsequent changes made them even more confused, knowing that something was wrong, they all leaned over to look at what Kira had taken from the tree.

"What is this?!"

I saw a fist-sized metal ball lying quietly in Kira's hand!

"what is this?"

"It looks like a mechanical creation..."

"There is indeed something weird here!"

"Kira, how did you find out?"

A few people talked to each other, talking about the doubts in their hearts, but these were not important. The important thing was that the way they looked at Kira had changed.

One second, they thought that Kira was a mentally ill person, but the next moment, they realized that their new boss was actually quite powerful!

After all, except for him, no one here found what was hidden in the tree.

Kira was secretly amused by his own appearance, but his face was calm: "Calm down! These are all basic operations! Your boss, I am very capable!"

Then he looked at the white metal ball in his hand. The material was unknown, but it was hard and its function was unknown.

After thinking for two seconds, Kira turned back to Gerald and said, "The feeling of being watched you just mentioned should be derived from it."

"There is one such metal ball for about every ten trees here, and they can perfectly integrate with the tree where they are, and move freely inside without damaging the tree. Even I am the first to use such a strange metal material. See you next time!"

When Gerald heard this, he understood clearly: "It seems that the people hiding here buried these metal balls in the trees to monitor the intruder's actions."

Urrutia smiled and said: "That is to say, our arrival has been discovered?"

"If nothing else, yes!"

"Then what should we do?" Kong Nai looked at Kira and asked, "Now that the enemy is in the dark, we still have to take action?"

Kira looked at her suspiciously. "Action? What action?"

"..."

"We are just an ordinary adventure team!"

Kira lied without changing his face, "This time, I heard that this place is very dangerous and mysterious. Even the Senate dared not go deep, so I came here for an adventure, and I brought a video magic crystal for records."

As he said that, he also took out the magic crystal and put it on his neck, looking like an adventurer.Kira is very familiar with this process, which is what he did before joining Fairy Tail.

"As the captain of the adventure team, it's normal for me to know some magic?"

Several people were stunned for a moment, only Urrutia quickly realized: "I am the vice-captain of the adventurer team."

Gerald calmly said, "I am the team's staff."

Now the others finally understand that what matters is not the adventure team, but the current position in the adventure team, which is their future position in the new organization!

The point is, now they can still make their own decisions, after passing this village, there will be no such shop!

Thinking of this, several people turned their gazes to Urrutia, and thought in their hearts: "Good guy, obviously they joined together, this woman will be the future vice president as soon as she opens her mouth?"Why not be the president's wife? '

Several people's minds were spinning rapidly, and their minds were fixed. They were about to arrange positions for themselves such as "Chief of Intelligence", "Image Spokesperson", and "Financial Manager".

"Then I'll do..."

However, how could someone allow them to be opportunistic?

Noticing the abnormal expressions of several people, Kira directly interrupted: "You are all ordinary members of the team! Whether you can be promoted to senior members depends on the performance of this operation!"

It's not that easy to take advantage of the opportunity!

Everyone felt pity: "Damn it! It's still a step too late..."

They all decided to read through the "masterpiece" that Kira said yesterday when they went back this time, so as to gain a deeper understanding of the new boss's thinking.

If Kira knew Eric's thoughts, he would be very happy, especially after Eric read the book "I Want to Hear Your Voice" written by him, he would be even happier.

At this moment, Kira found that the temperature of the metal ball in his hand was rising rapidly, and at the same time, a very bad sense of crisis came to his heart. ? ? !

Kira immediately reacted, turned around, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, threw the metal ball far away.

Hugh—crack!

With a soft sound, the metal ball landed on the ground and rolled several times on the ground. After a few seconds...

boom! !

The metal ball produced a violent explosion, and the wind pressure rolled around, blowing the grass, hair, and cloak into the air.

After the explosion, the airflow gradually calmed down. Kira looked up and saw that there was only a piece of scorched earth with a radius of one meter. Apart from that, there was not even a piece of metal shavings the size of a fingernail.

Kira exhaled: "That's it, I wanted to study this metal ball, but now I want to study a ball."

"What's going on? Even if we are under surveillance by the other side, can they still control these metal balls from a long distance?"

Gerald shook his head and said, "Probably not! I guess this is just a timing function on the metal ball. As long as it leaves the tree for a certain period of time, it will become a bomb."

At this time, Kira smiled again: "It seems that there is a very good blacksmith on the opposite side who can create this kind of magic item!"

Before that, he hadn't seen a prop master who could compare with himself.This kind of talent must be dug to work for yourself!

Now that the clues are broken, Kira can only move forward with a few people.

This time, his goal is the water source. Maybe people hiding in the dark can skip food, but they must drink water, right?

Kira let go of his perception, and the magic power dispersed to the surroundings. Plants and trees with a radius of hundreds of meters immediately appeared in his mind, and dense clusters of weak magic power appeared in the range of perception. He knew that it was buried in the trees. metal ball.

As far as the known information is concerned, these metal balls have two functions, one is to monitor the actions of intruders; the other is to interfere with the use of magic, which is why the voice Eric heard was disordered.

However, this kind of interference is not strong, it is more like an additional function, as long as there is enough magic power and the magic is stable enough, this kind of interference can be ignored directly.

This situation is like Kira making a magic pen and discovering that the pen can write novels by itself.

Half an hour later, a lake appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Magic vehicles don't work well in this kind of place, so they all walk, the others are fine, but Sora is already starting to cry and his legs are sore.

"Let me tell you, are all your protoss mages so weak physically?"

"Stop rambling! I'm a girl!"

"So what? Urrutia is too!"
