Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

There are actually several questions here:

What trouble could the royal family be in?They have the highest power, the most wealth, and the strongest military force in the entire kingdom. Are there any problems that cannot be solved by these?

If you can't solve it by power, wealth, or the army, but you still turn to a wizard, it must be related to magic!So what kind of magic mission is worth 2 million?

Since he is willing to pay 2 million yuan, it shows that this matter is very important!Since it is important, why not turn to an official organization like the Senate, or a more experienced mage, such as Gildas, Makarov, or Jura of the Snake Queen's Scale, instead of choosing Kira?These are the two current 'Holy Tens' and a strong man who has been famous for more than 20 years and whose strength is not inferior to the 'Holy Tens'!

As long as you think about it for a while, you know that there is a big problem in this.

Makarov asked in a deep voice, "Kira, what do you think of this commission?"

There is no task content written on this entrustment, and only after Kira arrives at the meeting place, which is the capital of the king, Kulokas, and meets the client, the king, will the other party reveal the specific entrustment content.

Kira stared at the commission for a long time and said, "I think..."

"What do you think?" Makarov held his breath, waiting for Kira to make a choice: Accept?Still not answering?With his character, he should answer, right?

"I think we can first rule out entrustment such as recruiting a son-in-law..."

Everyone: ...? ? !

Kira speculated solemnly: "Although everyone knows that I am handsome and my reputation resounds throughout Fiore, it is normal for the king to know me, but the other party should not be the kind who would marry his only daughter to a commoner magician. A gentleman is right!"

"Uh... um..."

"Then you can rule out things like writing novels and making movies based on him, because..."

Makarov yelled impatiently: "Are you going to pick it up?!"

"Pick it up! You must pick it up!" Seeing that the old man seemed to be angry, Kira quickly straightened up and replied, "But it's hard to say what will happen after I go. Just in case, should I set up insurance and compare it with the suicide note? Okay... Hey! Bah, bah, bah! What kind of flag do you want to set up?"

That's 2 million!

Kira felt that even if she really wanted to marry her daughter at that time, she could consider it herself, and she would not suffer anyway!

……

When Kira came here, he realized how strange this entrustment was, because besides himself, the other party invited another mage.In other words, this is a group commission.

A commission is sent to two guilds at the same time, which is very rare in the Kingdom of Fiore, because it is easy to cause disputes between magic guilds, so even if you want to change the commission guild and mages, you will cancel it first, and then Entrustment—Of course, there are exceptions for entrustments such as ten-year missions and hundred-year missions that have not been completed for a long time.

But who let the other party be the royal family?The royal family has this privilege!Send it to as many guilds as you want, and invite any mage you want to invite.

If it is some arrogant wizards, maybe they will be dissatisfied because of this: Team up with people from other guilds?underestimate me?Still look down on our guild?

But Kira doesn't care about these, as long as you have enough money, it doesn't matter how many people you want to invite!It's okay to invite cats!

Fortunately, what they invited was not a cat, nor a trash mage from a trash magic guild, but Jura, the signboard of Snake Princess Scale, one of the 'Holy Ten', an uncle who was bald before he turned [-].

The capital of the king, Kulokas, the palace of the royal castle.

On the throne sat the client of the mission, King Thomas E. Fiore.The king had a middle parted head and two mustaches, perhaps because he was dealing with government affairs all the year round. He was clearly in his 50s or [-]s, but he already had two long forehead lines on his forehead.

Next to the king is his only daughter, Princess Emerald, who sits gracefully on a chair with her hands folded in front of her body, dignified and natural.Wearing a red agate headband and a black gemstone necklace around her neck, her long green hair hangs down naturally and falls on the delicate and expensive white princess dress on her body, which makes her skin fairer, smoother, more tender, and softer... It can be broken by blowing bombs.

On both sides of the starting point, there stood the Minister of Defense Dutton and the head of the Cherry Blossom Knights, Arcadios, on the left and the right. These two uncles were ugly and old, and there was nothing to say.

The above four people each looked at Kira and Jura standing under the steps with curious, expectant, and examining eyes.

The two of them are the two most powerful mages in this generation, both of them are of the "La" generation, both of them are "Holy Ten", both come from the long-known magic guild, and... Although one of them looks It doesn't look like much, but they are all young people in their 20s.

Young and promising!

"Ahem... I am very grateful to both of you for accepting my invitation! I know that it may be inappropriate to entrust mages from two guilds at the same time, but this entrustment is indeed very important, and I hope you two can work together!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! Our 'Fairy Tail' is the most professional magic guild in Fiore Kingdom, as long as we accept the task, we will definitely complete it!"

Minister of Defense/Knight Leader: "I heard that people in this guild are very messy..."

Jura naturally expressed his approach to the king respectfully, and then asked curiously: "Your Majesty and Your Excellency Kira need to complete together... What kind of task is this?"

King Thomas said sadly: "The thing is like this. A few months ago, the country of Bosque, which borders on the territory to the east of our country, suddenly sent troops to the border between the two countries, and strengthened the military security there. There is a faint tendency to go to war. .”

Hearing this, Kira's heart skipped a beat, and Jura's expression changed.

"According to the investigation by the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Knights, the Kingdom of Bosque not only entered a state of military preparations, but also secretly sent some mages to sneak into the Kingdom of Fiore. The specific purpose is unknown. But some time ago, my daughter is the one in front of me. This Emerald Princess was kidnapped by the Dark Guild."

'It's what happened in the hot spring hotel last time! ' Kira shuddered.

"His Majesty the King suspects... Was that done by the Bosque Country?"

"exactly."

Jura asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that they declared war on the Kingdom of Fiore? They also hired mages to join the war?"

"That's not the case! The Bosque country doesn't dare to really start a war!" Thomas shook his head, and then talked about Gu, "In fact, during the Second Commercial War a hundred years ago, there was a frightening rumor Passed to Ishgar. In Arakitasia, that is, on the western continent, there is a huge force that is gradually growing. It is a magic empire that has absorbed hundreds of magic guilds, called the Alvarez Empire. "

"In order to fight against it, since then, the number of council members in the Kingdom of Fiore has been increasing every year, and a rule has been issued that 'magisters from other countries must not disturb the regime of the Kingdom of Fiore'. Thanks to this , the Kingdom of Fiore can always remain neutral and avoid the wars of other countries."

So it turns out that magicians from different countries are not allowed to participate in the war... Is that why you hire the dark guild from your own country?It's really "You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder"!

Thinking of this, Kira asked: "Then this commission, is we responsible for finding these infiltrators?"

Probably only this kind of harsh entrustment requires two 'Holy Tens' to act at the same time, but the opponents do not have the number of people, strongholds, contact methods and general strength. Finding them is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!

Unexpectedly, King Thomas shook his head again: "Of course not, that seems a bit difficult!"

"A month ago, in the name of exchanges between the two countries, the other party invited our country to send an envoy to attend the Magic Dao Conference held by the other party, and I decided to let my little girl go. This entrustment is to hope that the two can protect her safety during this period."

Chapter 370 Eighth, I Have Experience in Such Things

That's why, we want us to be bodyguards!But the name of the Dao Dao Conference...does it sound familiar?Plagiarism?

Kira's sky-blue eyes rolled around, thoughtfully.

In order to prevent Kira and Jura from not knowing the importance of the matter, Thomas deliberately explained the true meaning of the "Magic Dao Conference" to them: "It is said that they invite us to attend the Magic Dao Conference, but they are actually showing the strength of their country. Gain a greater voice in the future."

Got it, isn't it the same nature as the "Chunin Exam", I saw it in the Hokage next door!

"In addition to protecting the safety of the Emerald Princess, there is another commission."

Um?and also?

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the king continued: "The Kingdom of Bosque and our Kingdom of Fiore have lived in peace for a long time. If you suddenly act like this, it must be something happening in the country! I hope that the two of you can find out about it during this mission. I will give corresponding rewards according to the value—of course, the whole process is still to protect the safety of the little girl!"

This... is not surprising.As a monarch, it is impossible to be completely passive when encountering such a situation. Only by taking the initiative can we prevent future changes.

Of course, Kira and the two of them also took over this together. Anyway, one sheep is also chased, and two sheep are also herded. If the reason is found, there is still money to take, so why not do it?

……

A few days later, Kira and Jura, pretending to be the guard soldiers of Emerald Princess, went to Bosk Country.

In order to hide their identities, they deliberately changed into the uniforms of passer-by soldiers, including helmets, clothes, armor, pants, boots, spears... After a set, they almost wrote "I am a dragon" on their bodies.

It won't work without changing identities. If people know that two 'Holy Tens' are sent here as guards, the other party will definitely hide everything. Then how will they lure the snake out of the hole? How can they find out the reason why the other party suddenly became so brave?

"I didn't expect that this dress is quite comfortable to wear..."

Kira adjusted the collar, pulled the sleeves, turned the helmet, and kept adjusting his clothes. This soldier uniform reminded him of the school uniform he wore in high school. Although it was not very good-looking, it was really comfortable and well protected. Wear it for more than ten years.

"It's just that temperament seems to be more difficult to cover up... There is really no way, you can't follow others and put dust on your face?"

"Your Excellency Kira, shouldn't your actions be restrained? This is really not like an ordinary soldier..."

Jura's thick voice rang in his ears, and Kira turned his head to look, tsk tsk tsk... this is really appropriate!He looked like an old soldier who had been in the army for more than ten years, his eyes showed fatigue and helplessness, his face was written with responsibility and honor, and the looming bald head exuded a strong atmosphere of vicissitudes.

You are not like an 'ordinary' soldier!Could it be that Uncle Jura still has the hidden talent of "born clothes hanger"?

Although I really want to say this, Kira is a person who respects his elders... oh, he respects his elders, so he swallowed his words back: "I know!"

Due to his mature appearance and strong physique, Jura became the captain of the escort team, and Kira was the deputy captain. There are 50 elite soldiers in total, plus the main messenger Emerald Princess, a diplomatic and political officer, is the entire exchange team. personnel.

It only took half a day for a group of people to enter the country of Bosque and arrive at the reception by taking the exclusive transport of the royal family.

Although the situation between the two countries has been tense during this period, the respect and kindness on the surface are still in place. The other party greets people with a smile, and is enthusiastic when encountering problems. There is no such thing as the brainless and mentally retarded jumping out to mock Fio in the novel. People who don't know the inside story about the Kingdom of Lei and belittling the princess may really think that this is a friendly exchange.

This makes Kira, who has lived in the guild of "Fairy Tail" for 10 years, not used to it. You know, in the past, he would fight and kill without hesitation, cheating people for money, and helping good people when he met them. Bad guys just kill with a knife, where have you experienced this kind of communication with a knife hidden in a smile?

Fortunately, there are diplomats to take care of the whole process, and the Emerald Princess brushes her face, so she "dutifully" paddled and fished along the way, doing the important work of protecting safety.

This state continued until nightfall.

After nightfall, in the exquisitely decorated foreign messenger's room, four figures gathered together to discuss the next action.

"According to the plan, I will sneak into the opponent's palace next, and investigate the reasons for the changes in national defense during this period." Kira recommended himself, intending to go crazy in the opponent's lair.

Hearing this, the unknown diplomat frowned immediately, but he did not directly refute Kira's proposal, but instead said worriedly to Princess Emerald: "Princess, is this not good? I heard that 'Fairy Tail' The wizards are all very strong, if the magic power is detected by the other party, it will be against the kingdom..."

Listen, "famous for its destructiveness" can be said to be "too strong and easy to be captured by magic power", it is worthy of being engaged in diplomacy!

"Don't worry, diplomat! Unlike other people in the guild, my magic movement is so small that I can't even mention it! Besides, investigating the reasons for the changes in the Bosque country is also the main content of our commission!"

"Er...Diplomat?! Kirasang, my name is..."

Princess Emerald is not a pedantic person, she did not reject Kira's proposal, but said solemnly: "Since it is a royal palace, the guards must be very strict. Is it okay for Sir Kira to be alone? Why don't you let Sir Jura accompany you?"

"No, Jurassang needs to stay here to protect the princess!"

Kira shook his head and said, "Besides, Jurasang's magic is too noisy, so it's not suitable for spying on the enemy. Finally, if there is only one person, it will be more convenient for sneaking in and retreating."

Princess Emerald glanced at Jura, and Jura nodded to her: "Your Excellency Kira is very reasonable! The only problem is that we don't know the guarding situation and structure of the palace, and we don't know if there is anything we want in it." Information, in case of a trap..."

"Don't worry, Jurassang, I have experience in sneaking into other people's homes to find things—uh...I mean, on Christmas Eve, I once pretended to be Santa Claus and gave gifts to children!"

Two minutes later, under the suspicious eyes of the three, Kira skillfully put on the invisibility cloak and flew out of the window.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high and the clouds are heavy. It is a good time to spy on the enemy.

The invisibility cloak can not only hide the body shape, but also conceal the magic power and aura. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even mages can't find it if they don't have enough perception.

The palace of the Bo family is much larger than that of the Fei family, but the number of guards is only about half, and the frequency of replacement is even less. With the double blessing of the cloak and flying magic, Kira easily bypassed the guards and came to the depths of the palace .

Where should I find it?Since it is to find out important information, it is natural to go to the bedroom, office, basement and other places first.Thinking of this, Kira flew deeper into the palace to explore.

Kira didn't know much about the king of Bosque, and most of it was learned from the short king Thomas.It is said that he is a middle-aged uncle who knows a little bit of magic. He is unwilling to be content with stability and the three-acre land in the territory. He has been trying to expand outward for decades and is ambitious.If it weren't for the fact that the national strength is not good, it would not have been safe and sound for so many years.

Although Kira was not familiar with the place in this palace, he still found the king's government office quietly, accurately and quickly by relying on the "hypnotic pocket watch".

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge country map and a continental map of the same size. The two maps are put together, plus a set of cool armor, a Western sword, and a magic wand. A shield, which takes up a wall.
