Jura of the Iron Rock

"That voice... is it Lyon?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gray exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that Lyon would actually listen to his suggestion and join a legitimate guild.

The young man who walked in was also somewhat surprised to see Gray: "Gray?"

"You've joined a guild too?" Gray asked.

Lyon simply gave a haughty "humph," which was taken as tacit agreement.

Looking at Gray's senior in front of her, Lucy immediately thought of another woman who always talked about "love," and wondered if she had come along too.

Sure enough, the next second, a passionate voice rang out from outside the door.

"Lyon Leon joined Lamia Scale because of love! That's right! Love is me, and I am love!"

"Sure enough, Sherry, you're here too." Lucy sighed, looking exasperated.

Sherry swayed as she walked in and said to Lucy, "Lucy, you're still the same, but I, Sherry, have been completely transformed by love."

"No, you're the same old you, okay?" Lucy thought to herself, cursing wildly.

Just then, the last member of the Lamia Scales entered. He was extremely tall, with explosive muscles all over his body, and was a bald man without eyebrows.

"Lord Jiang Bai, it's been a long time." He bowed slightly to Jiang Bai, his tone respectful.

"Oh, it's Jura," Jiang Bai glanced at him.

"Your bald head is really shiny; it's unforgettable."

"Lord Jiang Bai is still as carefree as ever." Jura didn't seem to care about Jiang Bai's teasing at all, and instead showed a simple and honest smile.

Upon seeing Jura, the three members of "Blue Pegasus" immediately cast scrutinizing glances at her. "That's Jura, the ace of Lamia Scale, 'Rock Iron'!"

"The trump card of Lamia Scale?" Natsu asked curiously.

"Hey!" Happy flew to Natsu's ear and explained.

"He's also one of the Ten Wizard Saints."

Although Jura ranks lower than Jiang Bai among the Ten Wizard Saints, only at the bottom, he has been famous for a long time, unlike Jiang Bai who is a newcomer.

Jura is also very well-known among the general public, while Jiang Bai, after all, has not been promoted by the Magic Council, and his reputation mainly circulates among mages.

"Is he as powerful as Jiang Bai?" Natsu asked again.

"No, no!" Jura exclaimed, waving her hands frantically as she explained.

"My strength is far inferior to that of Lord Jiang Bai!"

Lyon then asked Jura curiously, "Mr. Jura, do you know Jiang Bai?"

"I had the pleasure of meeting Lord Jiang Bai on the road once," Jura, a look of reminiscence on his face.

"We even had a friendly sparring session back then, which allowed me to witness Lord Jiang Bai's unfathomable strength."

Jura recalled the time when she had just been named Ten Wizard Saints, full of pride, and happened to run into Jiang Bai on the road after he completed his mission.

Young and impetuous, he took the initiative to suggest that he spar with Jiang Bai.

As a result, no matter how powerful his rock magic was, he couldn't break through the thin, invisible barrier surrounding Jiang Bai, the legendary "Infinity."

Jura knew that Jiang Bai wasn't looking down on her, but rather trying to make her feel better.

Therefore, he begged Jiang Bai to let him see his true strength.

Jiang Bai simply formed a hand seal, and a domain called "Unlimited Void" unfolded in a mere second.

In that instant, Jura felt as if her mind had been dragged into an endless torrent of information, and she instantly fell into a daze.

Jiang Bai originally wanted to leave directly, but seeing that Jura was standing motionless in place, he was worried that he had been ambushed by someone, so he had no choice but to wait for him to recover.

Fortunately, Jura recovered relatively quickly and woke up after a while.

At that moment, he completely abandoned the complacency he had felt when he first became one of the Ten Wizard Saints. After expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Jiang Bai, he began to cultivate even more diligently.

"Mr. Jura, did you... lose?" Lyon asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" Jura nodded without hesitation.

"The difference in strength between me and Jiang Bai is like heaven and earth. I lost after Lord Jiang Bai only made one move."

"Alright," Jiang Bai waved his hand.

"Your abilities are quite good, so there's no need to underestimate yourself. As long as you can improve upon yourself every day, that's enough."

"What you say is true, Lord Jiang Bai." Jura looked at Jiang Bai like a fervent fan meeting their idol.

Lucy watched in stunned silence. "I didn't expect everyone to take this operation so seriously, they even sent two of the Ten Wizard Saints."

"Now," Yi Ye said, stroking her chin and inhaling the fragrance in the air.

"Only the people from 'The Cait Shelter' haven't arrived yet. It's said they only sent one person."

"Alone?" Natsu stroked his chin, guessing.

"Could it be that the opponent is very strong?"

Just then, a slightly hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a cute exclamation of "Ah!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl with long blue hair trip and fall on the flat ground in front of the door.

The little girl scrambled to her feet, dusted off her skirt, and then bowed deeply to the astonished crowd in the room.

"Um... um... Hello everyone! I'm Wendy from 'Cait Shelter.' I'm so sorry I'm late! And please take care of me!"

"Child?"

"What's going on? Why send a little kid?"

Everyone stared at the timid little girl in front of them, filled with surprise and confusion.

Looking at Wendy's soft and adorable appearance, Jiang Bai seemed to have made a major decision.

He leaned close to Erza's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Erza, little girls are definitely cuter. I've decided, we absolutely have to have a daughter someday!"

Erza's cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head, pinching his waist in annoyance, "What are you thinking about right now?!"

However, although Erza was jokingly complaining, she didn't refute it.

She herself was someone who longed for the warmth of a family, and the thought of having a lovely daughter like Wendy with Jiang Bai in the future filled her heart with warmth.

She gave a soft "Mmm" and replied softly, "Let's... let's talk about it when we get home."
