Upon learning that Lisanna was still alive, Eleven lost interest in chatting with the squad leader. After a few perfunctory words, he turned and chased after his companions, eager to share the news with them.

At the same time, he warned the squad leader not to reveal his whereabouts to anyone. It wasn't that Eleven didn't want to erase the soldiers' Memories, but that he couldn't. Memory Magic is, after all, a learned magic, not Eleven's own ability. When he could only use his Spiritual Power, Eleven was unable to cast it.

As for wiping out everyone here Eleven isn't that ruthless. So what if their whereabouts are exposed? Their target is the capital anyway, and a direct confrontation is inevitable sooner or later. What's there to be afraid of?

Sure enough, not long after Eleven left, the soldiers recovered from the shock. The squad leader stood there for a long time, pondering, before finally deciding to dial the communication device of his superior.

Meanwhile, Eleven quickly found his companions who had evacuated earlier. In fact, they hadn't gone far at all; instead, they had hidden themselves on a hillside with a good view, secretly observing Eleven's movements and ready to go to his rescue at any time.

To their utter astonishment, the kingdom's soldiers not only didn't clash with Eleven, but instead knelt before Eleven in unison. If Eleven hadn't been transported here with them, they would have suspected a traitor within the guild.

Watching Eleven issue commands to the soldiers from the other world like a king, the group could only sigh helplessly. "That's Eleven for you! He always manages to pull off these incomprehensible moves."

Eleven, oblivious to his companions' expressions, flew back excitedly and dropped a bombshell.

"Lisanna really came into this world, and she wasn't turned into a magic crystal; she's still alive!"

Except for Erik, who had been eavesdropping silently all along, everyone else was momentarily stunned, followed by earth-shattering shouts of ecstasy!

Although everyone came to rescue Lisanna, before that, none of them had any confidence whatsoever. They didn't even know if Lisanna was alive or dead; they were just trying their best with that faint hope.

Now that Eleven has finally brought back the clear news that Lisanna is still alive, it is undoubtedly a huge boost to their morale. Even though their situation hasn't changed much, they still want to try their luck in the capital, but this time everyone is no longer confused.

Many people were so overjoyed that they cried, and Mira hugged Erza and cried uncontrollably. Natsu and Happy immediately picked a direction and tried to rush out, and they couldn't be stopped. Even the cold-blooded Laxus couldn't help but smile slightly.

"So our first destination on this journey is—the royal capital! Let's go and bring our Lisanna back!"

There was nothing more to say. Eleven, holding Natsu who was trying to run away, began assigning tasks to his companions. Everyone cooperated enthusiastically and quickly calmed down. Celebrations could wait until Lisanna was rescued.

"And Mystogan, your top priority right now is to quickly create a potion to unleash our magic power. This is the key to everyone being able to unleash their full potential!"

Mystogan nodded, then lowered his head and silently considered the materials he needed.

However, at this moment, Eleven stopped speaking and stared intently at Mystogan. Sensing Eleven's gaze, Mystogan looked up with a puzzled expression.

Eleven, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his nose and asked, "Hey, Mystogan, am I your father?"

Mystogan:(_)

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand. What I meant was, did your father and I look a lot alike when we were young?"

Mystogan: Eleven (▽╲): "Um, didn't you say you were a prince? Your king is your father, right? I'm a little curious about what he looks like?"

Mystogan was speechless, not understanding what Eleven was up to. After a long while, he finally said, "My father doesn't look like you at all. Eleven, just say what you want to say. Have you gotten some information about my father?"

"Uh, no, I received some news about the king."

My father is the king of this place.

"No, it seems that 'I' am the true king in this world now!"

Mystogan:(°°)???

Next, as the group moved towards the capital, Eleven described in detail his encounter with the king.

Now everyone finally understood why Eleven could command so many soldiers to kneel before him. They hadn't expected Eleven to become a king here; indeed, Eleven was no ordinary figure, no matter the world—he was terrifying!

Compared to the clueless Fairy Tail bystanders, Mystogan appeared much more serious. He gave Eleven a deep look, confirming once again that Eleven wasn't making up a story to amuse him.

However, if this wasn't a story, it would be even more unacceptable to him.

Mystogan was quite certain that he had never seen Eleven when he was young, nor had he ever heard of any minister's child having that name. Therefore, he could at least be certain that this "Eleven" was not a minister plotting a rebellion to usurp the throne.

Could it be a popular uprising? It's hard to imagine that such a powerful Kingdom of Edolas could be defeated by a suddenly rising force; it's simply unbelievable!

Another possibility is that "Eleven" is the old king's illegitimate son, who was found by the old king and inherited the throne after Mystogan ran away from home. Although this possibility is quite far-fetched, Mystogan thinks it is more likely.

However, regardless of the situation, the outlook is not optimistic. The change of the throne represents a change in the national situation, and it also means that some of the intelligence in Mystogan's Memory may be completely useless, which will undoubtedly put their group in a passive position once again.

"Wait, there's something ahead!"

"It smells of blood, and it's very fresh!"

"Hey! What's this smell like?"

Eleven, like a streak of light, charged forward at the forefront.

Just as Mystogan was hanging at the back of the group, deep in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out at the front. Several Dragon Slayer with keen senses and Eleven, who had been using his Spiritual Powers to scout ahead, rushed out of the group and headed towards a certain direction in the darkness.

Below the cliff, a young girl lay unconscious, covered in wounds. Her legs appeared to be broken, and her breath was so faint as to be almost imperceptible.

When Eleven rushed to the girl's side, the first thing that caught his eye was her rare white hair. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "Lisanna!?"
