"Lu Chongwei, what did you just say?"
Lu Chongwei was stunned for a moment.
"I said, you take us to the royal capital."
Nancy tilted his head and spoke in an innocent tone.
"But... I only promised to take you out of that forest. The farthest place I have ever been to in my life is the river on the edge of the forest. I have no idea where the royal capital is."
The air was completely quiet at this moment.
Lu Chongwei The smile on his face disappeared.
His body became stiff, and his whole figure was petrified in place as if he had been watched by Medusa.
You can even hear a click, which is the sound of confidence collapsing.
"You... you don't know the way?"
Lu Chongwei's voice was trembling.
Nancy shook his head honestly.
"I don't know. I'm just a Fallen living in the woods. Why do I need to know the way to the royal capital?"
Natsu fell to the ground.
"Brother Zhongwei! Your guide is too unreliable!"
Happy couldn't help but complain.
"Love, Lu Chongwei-sama also makes miscalculations sometimes."
Carla held his forehead helplessly.
"I know I can't count on you. Let's ask the guild members here."
She turned around and looked at Macao and Wakaba hiding behind the counter.
"Hey, do you know the way to the royal capital? We need a map, or someone who can lead the way."
Macao and Wakaba, who were still eavesdropping, turned pale when they heard the word Wangdu.
"King's capital? Are you crazy!"
Macao shook his head desperately, with strong fear in his voice.
"That's hell! The Kingdom's Magic War Unit are there, and they specialize in hunting Mage. If you go there, you're basically going to die!"
Wakaba also shouted.
"Don't go! Don't go! Just a few days ago, several guilds were completely wiped out for resisting the kingdom. Take my advice and find a place to hide. Don't risk your life."
Other members of the guild also lowered their heads.
The extreme fear of royal power has been engraved in their bones.
Natsu was so angry that he stamped his feet.
"What are you afraid of! We are Fairy Tail! How can we be intimidated by those guys?"
Lucy·Ashley came over carrying a leather whip.
She looked at Natsu's passionate look and her tone became cold.
"Hot blood can't save lives. Do you know how strong Magic War Unit is who protects the capital? Especially those captains, every one of them is a monster."
Lu Chongwei's eyes were cold and he looked directly at Lucy Ashley.
"How strong?"
Lucy·Ashley took a breath and reported a name.
"The captain of Second Magic Combat Unit, nicknamed 'Fairy Hunter'. Her name is Erza·Knightwalker."
"Erza?!"
Natsu screamed and his eyes almost popped out.
"You mean Erza? The Erza who wears armor and teaches us all day long?"
Lu Chongwei was also stunned.
Earth-land, Erza are their most reliable companions, and Titania of the guild.
But in this world, she turned out to be the executioner who hunted Mage?
"Yes, it's her."
Lucy·Ashley's eyes are complicated.
"She is the sharpest sword in the kingdom. Countless Mage died under her Ten Commandments Spear. When you go to the royal capital, she may be the first one you have to face."
The guild hall fell silent again.
Natsu scratched his head, looking confused.
"Brother Zhongwei, this is going to be difficult. If you face Erza, I won't be able to do it."
Lu Chongwei sneered, his eyes bursting with light.
"Can't you do it? That's because she is not our companion yet."
Lu Chongwei took a step forward, and the overbearing magic pressure came out from his body.
"It doesn't matter if she is Erza or whoever she is. As long as she dares to block my way, I will burn her and the royal capital together."
He turned to look at Lucy Ashley.
"You are afraid, but I am not. Since you are unwilling to tell us, then we will find it ourselves."
Lucy·Ashley looked at Lu Chongwei's eyes full of fighting spirit, and her heart trembled inexplicably.
She saw something in this man that she had never seen in Edolas.
That is great self-confidence and arrogance enough to crush all rules.
"It's crazy..."
Lucy·Ashley cursed in a low voice.
She walked to Ikkaku in the lobby, picked up a backpack and threw it to Natsu.
"Okay, stop pretending there. I'll take you there."
Natsu was stunned.
"You will take us there? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lucy·Ashley snorted coldly.
"Afraid. But I hate this kind of life of hiding like a mouse even more. Since you want to die, I have to help you collect a body."
She looked at Lu Chongwei, determination flashing in her eyes.
"And I also want to see if 'Fairy Tail' in another world can create the Miracle."
Lu Chongwei smiled.
"Wise choice."
He turned his head and looked at Nancy on his shoulder.
"Nancy, what about you? Do you want to stay here or follow us?"
Lu Chongwei has actually been making small calculations.
This golden kitten has average combat power, but has keen perception and a personality that suits him very well.
It would be nice if we could bring it back to Earth-land's guild and give it to Wendy as a companion.
Nancy was stunned for a moment.
It looked at Lu Chongwei, and then at the dejected Edolas members around it.
Thinking of Lu Chongwei's appearance when he rescued him in the forest, Nancy's little paws tightly grasped his collar.
"I'll follow you."
Nancy raised his head with serious eyes.
"You saved my life. I won't go anywhere until I repay my kindness."
Lu Chongwei laughed loudly and reached out to flick its ears.
"Okay, then let's set off."
The group of people walked out of the tree house, followed the rugged mountain road, and headed towards the royal capital in the distance.
The setting sun stretched their shadows very long.
Edolas, the royal capital.
The magnificent palace stands on a wide floating island, surrounded by clouds and mist.
In the central square of the palace, a huge Magic Crystal is suspended in mid-air.
The crystal appears dark purple, and countless faint figures can be vaguely seen flashing inside, which are the absorbed souls of Earth-land Mage.
Erza·Knightwalker stood at the edge of the square.
She was holding the huge Ten Commandments Spear in her hand, and the silver armor on her body shone coldly in the moonlight.
She looked up at the huge Magic Crystal. There was no joy in defeating the enemy in her eyes, but a rare confusion.
"Is this the 'Eternal Magic' that the king is pursuing?"
Knightwalker whispered in a low voice.
The sudden disappearance of the guild she saw at the edge of the sea of trees came to mind.
Those people were weak and embarrassed, but there was a light in their eyes that she had never had before.
"For this kind of thing, I sold my soul to magic... Is what I did really right?"
Knightwalker clenched the spear in his hand.
The knuckles made a slight sound due to exertion.
The night wind blew by, stirring her long pink hair.
She looked at the Magic Crystal and felt a slight crack in the order of this kingdom.
