Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

What Kira didn't know was that when he cleaned up the mechanical soldiers that appeared in front of him, their every move was being recorded one by one by the surviving mechanical soldier, and transmitted to another hidden place through wireless signals.

In the depths of the woods, in a mechanical castle, in a certain room, a black figure meditated on the crystal screen on the wall.

"'Fairy Tail' 'Sage' Kira Hopelett, former members of the House of Representatives Gerald, Urrutia, and 'General Six', how did this group get together? ? Why are you running to this place again?"

The one who spoke was a young man who looked about 20 years old. His right eye was covered by lush short black hair, and the left eye was gloomy and indifferent. He had black hair, a cold face, and pale skin. He looked like A terminally ill patient.

This person is Di Xizu, one of the five existing "researchers" of the Dragon Slayer Institute.

While thinking about it, a hearty female voice came from behind: "According to the latest information, the 'Six Generals' have been wiped out by the regular guild, and 'Fairy Tail' is one of them. I didn't expect them to be imprisoned by the council. ah?"

The visitor has long light pink hair, tied into a knee-length braid; light brown skin, and pink lipstick on her mouth, making her whole body full of sunshine and health; With two holy swords engraved with golden magic runes, and a silver-white armor wrapped from head to toe, it looks quite powerful and beautiful.

The female swordsman Michaela is the oldest and the oldest one in the Dragon Slayer Institute, but in fact, she is only 30 years old this year, which is a mature and stable age.

Although she is in the research institute, she is always paying attention to the movement of the magic world, so she is well aware of the events that happened just yesterday.Of course, this is also due to the powerful intelligence network in this mechanical castle.

Tread...  

Accompanied by two light sounds, a gray cat walked over standing on two feet. It had three white whiskers on the left and right sides of its face, a golden child hole, a pure white belly, red palms, pink and tender meat balls, and a tail. Swinging freely behind, it looks quite cute.

Although its body is only as big as its head, its body emanates a special type of magical power, showing its own magic that is different from ordinary people and even ordinary monsters.

Nicole, Edrath's transcendent, is a six-year-old cat, the youngest researcher here.

It said proudly: "It's not a day or two for the members of the council to eat dry food. Even if a new batch is replaced, I think they are not even as good as cats."

Behind it, followed by a woman with a graceful figure who covered her face with a mask.

At this moment, the woman was staring straight at the video on the screen, and she said after a long time: "Well... it seems that there is a very familiar guest. I originally thought that our fate would not be social, but I didn't expect it to happen. Still hit it."

Nicole spread his wing magic, flew to the crystal screen, took a closer look, then turned around and said, "Do you want to stage a touching theater of 'reunion after a long time'? It is said in the book that if this happens between the two hostile parties, their strength will be weakened." Great reduction, but no matter what dangers you encounter in the future, you can turn danger into good fortune, I want to see if it is true!"

McCalla grabbed the gray cat's tail, held it in her arms and ravaged it vigorously: "You'd better read less idle books, Nicole!"

The hard armor made the cat's face look bloated and cute, and it shouted inarticulately: "It hurts...it hurts...let me go..."

Di Xizu was still paralyzed, turning a blind eye to the interaction between the gray cat and the female swordsman, as if he was used to this kind of daily life: "The point now is, what are they doing here?"

The gray cat struggled to emerge from the arms of the armor, and guessed: "Could it just be a mistake?"

"Probably not!" McKara stepped forward, pointed to Eric on the screen and said, "According to information, this person has the Poisonous Dragon Slayer Demon crystal bought from here buried in his body, I think they should come here for this." right?"

Di Xizu nodded silently: "It makes sense! If this is the case, then it seems that they will have made a futile trip this time."

Nicole finally broke free, and asked the two people who were talking: "I remember you said that the one on me is already the last one?"

Dixizu looked up at the dexterous gray cat flying in the air, and said, "That's right! And since Silver took over here, we have stopped doing this kind of business!"

"why?"

Michaela jumped in place, grabbed the cat in his arms again, and explained: "In this day and age, where can we find so many dragons? Let alone defeating dragons and taking their hearts! Even we use I don’t know how long ago the magic crystal was left.”

Nicole asked softly: "We are dragon slayer wizards, we use dragon slayer magic, can't we defeat dragons?"

"Don't be too naive!"

McCarthy tapped it on the head lightly, and said: "Dragon is not an existence that can be defeated so easily. Maybe all five of us can tie it together."

Seeing what this senior said so seriously, Nicole asked curiously, "McCalla, have you ever seen a dragon?"

The female swordsman denied, "No!"

The gray cat breathed a sigh of relief: "Hi! I thought..."

"But I've seen real dragon hearts, and people who slay dragons!"

"Nani?! Really?!"

Hearing her words, Nicole couldn't help but exclaimed, and the other two people beside her also looked over with curiosity.

"Really! That happened when I was a child..." McCulla cleared his voice, and said slowly, "At that time, I followed the former director to other research institutes for technical exchanges, and I just ran into a transaction. I When I saw that heart, it still stirred from time to time!"

"The seller was a rough man from the Northern Continent. I heard later that that man had already hunted several giant dragons by himself, and ate up their flesh, leaving only the heart for trading."

"Eat dragon meat?!" Nicole was shocked by what McCaul said, and then changed his tone, "Is dragon meat delicious?"

"I don't know, I heard that person said it was delicious."

"What about the keel?"

"Normal people don't eat bones! But if you make soup, the nutritional value should be very high."

Nicole was immersed in fantasies, and quickly salivated enviously uncontrollably: "I really want to taste the keel!"

Chapter 240 VII Mechanical Castle

The scene in front of them looked a little ridiculous. A cat was salivating on the keel. If they didn't know the reason, they would have thought that something went wrong in this world.

Snapped!Snapped!

McCalla patted the gray cat's fleshy face with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Hey, Nicole! Wake up! You are a cat! Not a dog! Why don't you think about eating fish every day, but only about eating bones?"

"Forget it, Michaela! It's not like you don't know that bones are also essential food for Nicole!"

With a clear voice, a young man with short blond hair walked into the room.

Seeing the person coming, Di Xizu was the first to go up to greet him: "Silver? Have you finished the experiment?"

McCalla raised his eyebrows: "You've been in the lab long enough this time!"

Nichol took the opportunity to break away from McCulla's clutches again, threw himself into Silver's arms, and said at the same time: "After all, Silver is different from us, he doesn't need to eat!"

"So, what did you do this time?"

Silver stretched his waist and replied: "We have made a new mechanical soldier. This time, we should be able to upgrade the nearby guard system."

"Such a coincidence!"

Hearing something in his companion's words, Silver asked aloud, "What's wrong?"

"Look at that!"

Only then did Silver turn his gaze to the big screen in the room, and said after a while: "Kira Hopelet... His magic technology has become popular in the entire Kingdom of Fiore in the past two years, and even sold for Neighboring country! I originally thought about going to him to exchange technology after leaving the customs, but I didn't expect him to come here by himself."

Di Xizu asked aloud, "Could it be an enemy?"

"Well...it's hard to say." Silver thought for a while and replied, "There is no reason for us to go to war at present."

"The people around him are not good people. I think it is necessary to prepare for battle."

Silver is not an indecisive person. Hearing what Di Sizu said, he agreed, and then ordered: "Okay then, McCulla, go and count the combat soldiers."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Then where are you going?"

Silver waved his hand without looking back: "I'm going to clean up the driving center! There are eight of them. If there is a real fight later, we can't fight and still run away!"

……

Outside the mechanical castle, Kira and others finally walked out of the towering forest.

"This is the Dragon Slayer Research Institute?"

After cleaning up the group of mechanical soldiers, Kira led everyone to follow the traces of the mechanical soldiers. It didn't take long for them to walk out of the woods.

The sight in front of him suddenly opened up. In the huge open space, there was plenty of light, the air was fresh, and the concentration of free magic particles around was just right. There was also a four-story European-style castle.

This place is not like a magic research institute, but more like a holiday villa for rich people.

The castle in front of me is quite distinctive. The outermost layer is covered with a silver-white metal leather sheath. On this metal leather sheath, various styles of gears, wrenches, pliers, screws, maces and other tools can be seen everywhere.

Kira looked at them one by one, and found that these tools were all in appearance, and were useless in forging and repairing magic props.That said, they are for decoration!

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help blurting out: "This is the Institute of Magic? I believe even if you told me that this is Howl's Moving Castle! By the way, what kind of decorations are hanging here? It's a bit too unpopular, right?"

Other people's castles are hung with flags, swords, and shields. Things that look very cool, no matter how bad they are, they will be decorated with magic crystals, but what is hanging on the castle in front of them?

"Indeed, it doesn't look like a place where Dragon Slayer Magic Crystals are traded at all. Even the magic crystal processing factory is very reluctant!"

After observing carefully for a long time, Urrutia couldn't see why, so he turned around and asked, "Didn't you read Bryan's memory? Is there no information here?"

Kira shook his flowing red hair: "Not at all! Not only that, but in his memory, the valley is not what it looks like in front of him. The giant trees, mechanical soldiers, and these things we saw along the way This castle should have been completed in recent years!"

Although the mechanical castle in front of me looks a bit special in style, it is still clean and tidy as a whole, and the external hanging objects are also hung in an orderly manner. After careful observation, there is still a bit of beauty that can only be felt by a technical house. It doesn't look like there is no one there. The way you live.

So the one who transformed this valley should be the owner of this castle!

So, who will it be?

The person who traded with Bryan back then was an old man who seemed to have one foot in the coffin. If the old man whose name is unknown died, then the person who changed this place was his descendant?Or a successor?

Kira stopped thinking and knocked on the door.

winter!winter!winter!

The gate is also neither stone nor wood, and it is not any kind of metal commonly seen on the market.

With sharp eyes, Kira recognized that this is a kind of memory metal with excellent magic power conductivity. The distribution of magic particles in this metal is extremely special, and the skills can freely change shapes like liquids and fuse with each other. After being fixed, the hardness is far better than steel.

Kira originally wanted to use this metal when rebuilding the guild, but it was extremely rare and expensive, so he couldn't do it.

What shocked Kira was that the castle in front of him seemed to be made of this kind of metal from top to bottom, from inside to outside, including the tools hanging outside for decoration. It can't be seen that there are beams and columns supporting it.

"How much does it cost to build a castle like this? I really came to the right place!"

After knocking three times, the door seemed to sense something, and it automatically opened from both sides, revealing the scene inside. Looking in through the narrow door, I felt nothing special at first glance, and the mechanical feeling was much worse than the appearance.

"What's going on? Why did the door open when there was no one there? Could it be a ghost?"

Kong Nai yelled like an uninformed countryman.

Kira gave her a blank look: "I have no experience! This is magic technology! How can you become the 'General of the Six Demons' with this little guts?"

The others also smiled lightly, as if they had known for a long time that this companion was afraid of ghosts.

"Girls are afraid of ghosts, what's so strange?! Even men are afraid of ghosts!"

"Yes... yes... you are right!"

Kira waved his hand perfunctorily, stopped arguing, and walked into the castle.

"Is anyone there? We are a team of adventurers who are exploring everywhere. Passing by here, we want to... beg for a drink, a full meal, and a night's stay. Please let the host's house help!"
