Travelers

Um... I forgot to mention something before, so I'll add it now.

Surely some of you have noticed the loophole in the teleportation system, that's right! By using the Teleportation Array, Old Suo could secretly travel to his destination without anyone noticing. Unfortunately for him, Makarov has already obtained this information and devised a countermeasure. Therefore, the escape plan is doomed!

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Just when Old Suo was in crisis, two people who were neither newcomers nor had a team appeared in Old Suo's field of vision.

"Considering your abilities are not bad, and you've helped me before, I'll reluctantly help you this time!" (Laxus)

"Uncle Sordil, I'll help too! (Kana)" (That's right! You heard me right, and I didn't mistype. Kana has changed her address behind your backs. As for the reason... Here, Macao and Wakaba reveal smug smiles.)

Looking at the two people who appeared in front of him, Old Suo felt a sudden surge of heat in his heart, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing the excited expression on someone's face, Laxus said arrogantly, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just returning a favor to you. I don't have any other intentions."

Compared to the blunt Thunder Dragon, Kana is much more straightforward.

"Uncle Sordil, now that the mission is complete, you'd better hurry up and find an aunt to marry, otherwise you'll really end up alone!" (PS: At this moment, Old Suo, who had just suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, spat out a mouthful of blood.)

After swallowing back the red saliva, Old Suo hugged the two of them and said excitedly, "Thank you so much!"

"Alright! Stop dawdling, let's go find the old man!" (Laxus)

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes!"

With that, Old Suo led the two of them off to find Makarov.

Although Makarov was reluctant to let the three team up, they had perfectly circumvented the restrictions he had set, so he had no choice but to agree.

After receiving permission, the three (Old Suo) couldn't wait to set off.

Because they were walking in such a hurry, they didn't pay attention to their surroundings and therefore didn't notice the little tail behind them. (PS: This tail is composed of two elements (Macao and Wakaba))

The journey is long and extremely boring, so let's turn our attention to Crocas!

Half a month later, Arcadius, having completed his mission, returned to the Palace of Shining Lights with the replies from the two powerful figures.

"Arcadius, what were their replies? (Toma)"

"Your Majesty, those two share the same view as the Minister of Defense, and they also hope that we can keep this news from the Magic Council."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, the Minister of Defense smiled as if to say, "Just as I expected." However, the Knight Commander's second half of the sentence surprised him.

"Your Majesty, you must not suppress the news!" (Darton)

Looking up at the anxious-looking Minister of Defense, Toma turned to ask, "Arcadius, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, that person is not one to act without considering the consequences. He must have other motives for doing this. Furthermore, even if we inform the Magic Council of this news, they cannot influence his thoughts and decisions. Therefore... we might as well do him a favor."

After carefully weighing the two approaches in his mind, Toma slapped the back of his chair and exclaimed, "Alright! Let's do as those two say!"

Seeing this, the Minister of Defense wanted to object, but he didn't say anything because the situation was already decided.

So everything was proceeding according to Old Suo's script, except that the Fairy Queen's appearance would be delayed again.

In the past two weeks, apart from Zero Emperor stayed put to work, everyone else who had been traveling around had achieved some results, such as Arcadius mentioned above, and Kagura is about to appear.

Having moved beyond the stage of blindly worshipping every Buddha she encountered, the Black-haired girl, like Zero Emperor, abandoned the chaotic grassroots system and set her sights on a high-quality approach. (PS: The high-quality approach refers to seeking out renowned teachers and powerful individuals.)

Oh, right! Besides being far smarter than Zero Emperor, the Black-haired girl also had Zero Emperor luck.

Why would the Great Owl say that? Because while Zero Emperor was worrying about making a living and feeling lost about where to go, the Black-haired girl had already found a clear goal and successfully joined the sect.

"Teacher, have you ever heard of a mage named Fire Dragon?" (Kagura)

Hearing his beloved disciple's words, Hail frowned and said, "Fire Dragon? Heh! Let alone mages, even the dragons of ancient times probably wouldn't use that as a name."

"Is there anyone who uses 'fire dragon' as their code name?"

"Using the fire dragon as a codename?"

Hail looked up and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing the teacher's reaction, Kagura lowered her head dejectedly.

"Kagura, why are you asking about these things?"

Upon hearing the teacher's question, Kagura hesitated for a moment before finally revealing her secret.

After his beloved apprentice finished speaking, Hail was instantly caught between laughter and tears.

Looking at Hail, who was sometimes laughing and sometimes shaking his head, the Black-haired girl thought that her teacher didn't believe her, so she hurriedly said, "Teacher, everything I said is true, I didn't lie!"

"Hehe! Kagura, the teacher didn't suspect you, the teacher just..."

Seeing the teacher hesitate, the Black-haired girl pressed, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Looking at the Black-haired girl with a hint of anger in her eyes, Hail sighed and said, "Kagura, the person who saved you wasn't called Fire Dragon. The phrase he shouted was a magical technique."

"Magic spells? Teacher, what kind of magic is that?"

"That's a Lost Magic called Dragon Slayer Magic. Based on what you've said, the person who saved you should be a fire-based Dragon Slayer Magic."

"Dragon Slayer Magic? Lost Magic?"

After repeating it softly a few times, the Black-haired girl suddenly looked up and asked, "Teacher, what is Lost Magic?"

"The so-called Lost Magic is magic that has lost its inheritance and disappeared into the long river of history."

"What? That..."

Seeing Kagura's shock, Hail explained, "Although in theory Lost Magic shouldn't reappear, for various reasons, some people can still use it. Therefore, you heard right, the other person really is a fire-based Dragon Slayer Mage."

After nodding slightly, the Black-haired girl asked again, "Then... Dragon Slayer Mage powerful?"

He reached out and ruffled the other's hair, then said Hail, "Not only Dragon Slayer Mage, but all mages who use Lost Magic are very strong!"

Seemingly afraid that his beloved apprentice would leave, Hail hurriedly added a sentence after saying that.

"However, our Gravity Magic is in no way inferior to theirs!"

Upon hearing this, the Black-haired girl smiled knowingly and nodded vigorously.

"Alright! Let's get back to training, otherwise, forget about Dragon Slayer Mage, you probably won't even be able to beat an ordinary mage!"

"Yes!"

Looking down at the vast courtyard, Laxus asked, "Sordil, what organization's dormitory is this? It's almost as big as our boys' dormitory!"

Before Old Suo could answer, a shocked Kana spoke first, "No way, you boys actually live in such a big courtyard?"

"Of course not!"

Just when Kana thought it was a false alarm, Laxus gave her an even bigger surprise.

"If we really have to compare, our boys' dormitory is bigger!"

Upon hearing this, Kana suddenly felt a sense of 'poverty limits my imagination,' and at the same time, a sense of imbalance arose in her heart.

"Hmph! The student council president is so biased, making us girls live in those tiny rooms while building such luxurious dormitories for the boys!"

Seeing Kana pouting, Laxus, who had stolen Old Suo's line, laughed and said, "Haha! You've wronged the old man. The boys' dormitory wasn't built by the guild; it was earned by this big shot next to us."

Upon learning the truth, Kana stared in shock at the silver-haired boy beside her.

Sensing the time was ripe to show off, Old Suo smiled smugly. However, just as he was about to say, "It's nothing," Kana said with stars in her eyes, "Uncle Sordil, could you help us girls earn another dorm room like this?"

Upon hearing this, Old Suo stumbled. If it weren't for his reliable braking system, he probably would have already fallen off the windboat.

Seeing this, someone on the side revealed an unkind smile.

"Bang!"

After letting Laxus lie on the bottom of the ship and enjoy Maruko, Soso took the opportunity to change the subject.

"You brat, it's one thing to talk nonsense, but you even dare to mock others! You deserve a beating!"

The instant he fell, Laxus prepared to rise and retaliate, but an unseen force suppressed him, rendering him completely immobile. Therefore, he remained lying motionless at the bottom of the ship until Old Suo finished speaking.

After dealing with the troublesome little devil, Sordil belatedly exclaimed, "Oh! We've arrived!"

After saying this, Old Suo didn't give Kana a chance to speak. He went directly to the stern and controlled the windboat to descend towards the central courtyard.

Seeing this, the clever Kana immediately understood, so she stomped her foot and said coquettishly, "Hmph! If you're not going to help, just say so! You're wasting This Lady time!"

"Um... Kana, could you move your foot a little?"

Hearing the sound from below, Miss Kana, who was still angry, stomped her feet a couple more times before withdrawing them.

"Madam, look, they're here!" (Grammy)

"Yes! Let's go greet them!"

As soon as Leila finished speaking, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time rushed to greet her.

Just as the vanguard was about to reach the target area, a brown-haired man suddenly ran up behind them.

"Madam Leila, Miss has woken up, and the master can't soothe her. He wants me to take you back."

"This..."

Leila looked up and gazed at the wind-blown boat not far away, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

"Grammy, I need to go back to take care of Lucy, so I'll leave it to you to greet Mr. Sordil and the others."

"Madam, please rest assured, I will take good care of Mr. Sordil and his party!"

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Leila nodded and then followed the brown-haired man deeper into the courtyard.
