Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

Page 39



"Really, these two guys don't have any sense of crisis at all..." Lucy looked at the bouncing Natsu and Happy and sighed, "So, what should we do now? Should we go back to the guild first? "

"No! Absolutely not!" Natsu exhaled hot air from his nostrils, "I must complete the S-level mission this time! If I don't let me go back, I will definitely be ridiculed by Gray!"

"That's right, Naz! Never give up halfway!"

The two optimistic guys sang together, and Lucy's lungs exploded: "Then tell me, how can we find this tavern with this map?!"

"Hmm... what should I do?" Natsu thought for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Let's go by instinct!"

Hubby clearly approves of this poor approach: "Yeah!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Lucy, who was standing there in a daze and preparing to complain, one person and one cat strode forward directly.

"You two are too messy, wait for me!" Lucy trotted to keep up.

Three minutes later, Lucy looked at the tavern in front of her and was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?!"

Natsu said to Lucy and Happy with a smile, "I just said, it must be right to follow your intuition!"

"Oh, as expected of Natsu!"

"Let's go in!"

"Hey!"

For Wangyou Tavern, a few centimeters of snow did not crush the signboard.

The eaves are covered with snow, and the only place with less snow is a narrow chimney, which is constantly emitting carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide generated by coal; the old doors and windows are a little yellowish and damp, but The swaying firelight faintly leaking from the thin cracks can still make people feel a little warmth.

The whole tavern suddenly appeared in the white snow, with no front to the village, no store behind, no elk pulling carts, no noisy noises, no signs of people at all, but the painful moaning in the snowstorm, and It seems to be telling something.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange that there is such a tavern in this kind of place!" Lucy followed Natsu forward while talking to herself.

"It doesn't matter, I finally found it."

Pushing open the door, the two and the cat found only a tall and mighty figure drinking alone in the tavern.

The middle-aged uncle had a pale beard on his face, and thick hair on his bare arms. It seemed that he was the owner.

Seeing two people and one cat coming in, the uncle greeted with a smile: "Welcome to Wangyou Tavern, young man, have a drink, this place can make you forget all your worries."

His voice was very steady, unexpectedly revealing a mature and gentle charm.

From the inside, this tavern is obviously a bit old, it should be some years old, except for the bar where the uncle is staying, there is also a stove, a few tables and chairs, but the most reassuring thing is the strong smell of beer in the air .

I don't know why there is such a strong smell of alcohol in this kind of weather and this kind of passenger flow.

Lucy said awkwardly: "Sorry, we didn't come to drink."

If Kira is here, Lucy must be pissed that Lucy can't find the Protoss key. Why do you want to come to the tavern without drinking?Do you mess up?

Fortunately, the uncle was kind and didn't pursue Lucy's rudeness. He laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't drink, just sit down and warm up. No one usually comes to my place. You must be lost in the snowstorm couple?"

Lucy blushed a little shyly: "We are not a couple!"

Habi smiled and covered his mouth: "What a smart uncle~"

"You dead cat!"

Naz was blunt, and asked straightforwardly: "We are here to do the mission, uncle, do you know the village of Ashes New?"

The tavern uncle looked at Natsu and Lucy curiously for a long time, until Lucy felt uncomfortable and said, "A mage? You look so young..."

"Of course!" Natsu revealed the red coat of arms on his shoulders, "We are very strong, and we came here to defeat the monsters from the snowstorm!"

"Really?" The tavern owner laughed loudly, "That's really shameless!"

"What's wrong with appearance? This uncle really can't speak!"

Lucy muttered in a low voice, but Natsu seemed to be in touch with the radio wave of the tavern uncle, chatting and laughing within a few words.

"Really, are you the Fairy Tail mage who came to do the quest?" The tavern uncle sat opposite Natsu and said, "I am your client, Poole Esisnew."

Chapter 57 It’s normal to write about a group that serves gods

"God? Does this really exist?"

At this time, the airship had already flown into the snow-capped mountains, but it didn't lose its way, it just sailed aimlessly in the air.

Kira and the others don't care about the direction anymore. Anyway, there are no clear directions on the map around here, so whether they can find it depends on luck.

The six sat around the fire set up on the airship, discussing the information Kira said.

"It is true that I have occasionally seen the existence of gods in books, but I always thought that they were just fictional legends."

"However, since demons and dragons do exist, maybe gods also existed?"

"That's right!" Kira's face was a little excited, "I guess, it's just a guess, the so-called gods, like demons, dragons, and humans, are a certain species, but they may be born with Powerful ability, that's why they are called gods."

"A powerful... ability? Magic?"

"Humans have powerful learning talents and creative abilities, and can use magic; according to what Naz said, plus some books, dragons are born with powerful bodies, can fly, and can also use magic; demons have powerful destructive power and life force, and can use magic, and the demons in the Book of Zeref can even use spells; what about the gods?"

Hearing Kira's analogy, Erza understood: "Are you trying to say that gods may also use magic?"

"Not only that, but the legends of gods are older than dragons and demons, so long that there are almost no books to record, so there are several guesses, one of which is that they may be the first people to use magic."

Several people were shocked by this speculation, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not impossible.

"A long time ago, there was no mature knowledge and thinking, and there was no division of countries. In that era, wouldn't it be possible for ordinary people to compare powerful wizards to gods?"

"Also, demons and giant dragons are still visible today, but I have never heard of anyone seeing gods, so maybe it is because of the popularity of magic that the gods who used to be high above are no longer gods."

Erza admired: "What a bold guess!"

"Of course, there is also the second guess. The gods are not life forms, but refer to certain laws or phenomena. Because the ancients could not understand this, they regarded this situation as the ability of the gods. But the speculation on this point, I haven't had any corroborating evidence yet."

"Races with special abilities; ancient magicians; and incomprehensible mysterious phenomena." Kira said and stretched out three fingers. "These are my three guesses about gods!"

"So... having said so much, what does the legend of this goddess have to do with the gods?" Gray asked.

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Kira explained, "Let's talk about the conclusion directly. I have verified each other from multiple sources, and I have come to the conclusion that the magic used by the black celestial girl is a lost ancient magic, the Ice God Extinguishing Magic !"

……

"Sure enough, the client is you, uncle?"

"Yes, I am a descendant of the Esisnew family."

"The Esisnew family?" Natsu and Happy looked at each other in confusion, obviously they had never heard of it.

Lucy reads a lot of books, so she remembered it after a while, patted the table and asked, "Is the Esisnew family you mentioned the one that serves the gods in the legend?"

"That's right. Although the Ashesneu tribe has existed for nearly a thousand years, their number has always been very small. In recent decades, people have been migrating out of the mountain. The only ones still staying here are my family."

"Thousands of years?" Natsu, Lucy, and Happy were all taken aback, and Natsu couldn't wait to ask, "Then, uncle, do you know the news about the dragon?"

"Dragon?" Uncle Poole thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No one has seen dragons now, but according to the records handed down from the family, there were indeed giant dragons living hundreds of years ago, and there were quite a few of them, but Then they all disappeared."

Naz was a little disappointed: "Really? Haven't you seen it?"

"Natsu, let's do the mission first!" Lucy tugged on Natsu's sleeve and looked at Poole, "The mission is for us to repel the monsters, but are there really monsters in this kind of place? "

Lucy, Natsu, and Happy walked around here for a long time before, but they didn't see any traces of wild animals.

From the perspective of the mission, it is obvious that there is not one monster to be repelled, but a group of monsters. However, how can a group of monsters survive in this kind of icy and snowy mountain, where even humans rarely step into it?

Compared with the bad weather in Zonia, the food and water sources outside should be more abundant, and the environment should be more comfortable. Human beings know that they need to move out. Why don't these monsters move away?

Poole heard Lucy's doubts, thought for a while and explained: "Actually, these monsters are not ordinary magical beasts, but were mass-produced by demons."

"demon?"

"Created?"

Seeing the mage in front of him traveling thousands of miles to complete the task, Poole hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "To be honest, I only released this task with the mentality of trying it out. I had so much hope, I didn't expect that someone would actually accept it, but since you guys are here, I can only explain it clearly to you."

Uncle Pool got up and poured himself a glass of wine, and sat down in front of Natsu, Lucy and Happy again.

Two people and one cat sat upright, listening attentively.

"Until several decades ago, this area was the hermitage of the Aishisinu family. The Aishisinu village is a village that has been passed down for a long time. According to the records of the family, we are the descendants of the gods, and the enemies of the gods , is a demon."

"It is said that a long time ago, gods and demons have always been at odds with each other. The battle between the two groups spread all over the entire continent. The war lasted for a long time. Later, the demons were defeated and the gods disappeared. Then the era of dragons and magic began."

"However, the struggle between the Esisnew family and the demons here has been going on. These demons have a long lifespan, tenacious vitality, strong strength, and are difficult to kill. Later, they even used unknown methods to mass-produce monsters. , causing serious damage to the Esisnew family."

"Fortunately, in order to deal with these demons, our ancestors created a magic that can kill demons and also kill the monsters they created."

"That is the method of killing demons of ice!"

"Ice Demon Slayer?!" ×3

Uncle Poole's words surprised all three of them, especially Naz. The dragon slaying magic he used was from the Dragon Sect, and now there is a demon slaying method. Could this magic be taught by the devil?

At this time, he obviously forgot that the original intention of the ancestors in Poole's mouth to create the method of destroying demons was to deal with demons.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Poole said with a smile, "The Ice Destroyer Magic is different from ordinary ice and snow magic. In this environment, the user can exert a very strong strength."

"I know, it must be able to restore physical strength and magic power by eating ice!"

Poole looked at Natsu curiously: "Oh? You know?"

Habi explained: "Because Natsu uses the fire dragon slaying magic, he can eat fire to restore his strength!"

"Is that also the magic of the killing system? Could it be that the user eats ice to recover the magic power?" Lucy looked at Natsu with some surprise. Except for Natsu, she has never seen anyone use similar lost magic. .

"Fire dragon slayer magic..." Poole murmured, surprised that there were other slayer magics, but at the same time felt sorry for Natsu's magic, sighed and said, "Fire attribute? In this kind of magic Local restraint is very restrained."

Ice and fire are never at odds. In the snow-capped mountains of Zonia, fire-attributed mages are so suppressed that it is difficult to display their true strength. Even a powerful fire-type mage will first reduce their strength by [-]%.

What's more... Poole glanced at the young Naz, hesitating in his heart, can this kid really solve those monsters?

Chapter 58 The exploration team decided to split up

"This group of demons who have been fighting with the Esisniu tribe for many years are all ice-type, and most of the monsters they create are also like this. As a fire magician, you can't take advantage of this kind of place!"

After thinking about it, Poole felt that it would be better to tell Naz the situation, and not let such a young man die in vain, "And those demons are very powerful, and our family is also able to fight with the demons because of the method of killing demons with ice." They have been fighting each other for many years. I don't mean to dislike them, but if you think you are not strong enough, you should go back."

Natsu clenched his fist confidently: "I won't go back! We are the mages of Fairy Tail, don't worry, uncle, I will defeat mere monsters!"
