That is a Decade Quest order.
The so-called Decade Quest does not mean that it will take ten years, but that this task has been released for more than ten years and no one has been able to complete it so far. Its difficulty is far more difficult than ordinary S-Class, and it can even be said to be a quasi-S S-Class.
The mission content is to go to Far North, find and bring back the legendary Eternal Flame fire.
Lu Chongwei reached out and peeled off the task sheet.
If you want to go to Edolas to save people, your current strength alone is not enough. Although Shikai of Ryujin Jakka is powerful, it is still powerless in the face of the barrier that crosses the world.
He needs more strength.
He needs to touch that realm--Bankai.
And only on the edge of life and death, under extreme pressure, can the power of Zanpakuto be fully awakened.
"You want to take this?"
Makarov appeared behind him at some point, looking at the task list in Lu Chongwei's hand, frowning.
"Lu Chongwei, your current condition is not suitable for such a high-intensity task. Lisanna's matter..."
"It is precisely because of Lisanna that I have to go."
Lu Chongwei interrupted the president with a firm look in his eyes.
"Old man, I need to become stronger. Strong enough that even if the world closes its door, I can kick it open."
Makarov looked at this young man who used to just be lazy and sleep, and remained silent.
After a long time, Makarov sighed, took the seal and stamped it on the task list.
"Go ahead. But promise me one thing."
The old president raised his head, his eyes kind and serious.
"You must come back safely. Fairy Tail, we can't lose any more children."
"Don't worry." Lu Chongwei put the task list into his arms and grinned, "I cherish my life."
After packing his bags, Lu Chongwei quietly left the guild without disturbing anyone.
However, just as he walked out of Magnolia's city gate, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Zhongwei brother!"
Lu Chongwei stopped and looked back.
Mirajane ran over panting, holding a package tightly in his arms.
"You want to leave? Where are you going? How long will you be going?"
She asked a series of questions, her eyes full of uneasiness, fearing that Lu Chongwei would disappear suddenly like Lisanna.
"I took on a mission that's a little far away. It may take a while." Lu Chongwei said lightly, not wanting her to worry.
Mirajane bit his lip and didn't ask any more questions. He just put the package in his arms into Lu Chongwei's hand.
"This is a bento I made to eat on the road. And this..."
She took out a fist-sized Magic Crystal that exuded a faint blue light.
"This is the latest model of instant messaging Magic Crystal. Although it is a bit expensive, the signal is very good."
Mirajane raised his head, his gentle eyes staring at Lu Chongwei, his tone filled with pleading and toughness that could not be refused.
"No matter where you are, no matter how busy you are, as long as I contact you, you must answer."
"If... if you don't answer..."
Her eye circles were red, and her voice sounded like she was crying.
"I'd be scared."
Lu Chongwei held the warm Magic Crystal, looking at the hard-working and strong girl in front of her, her heart softened.
He reached out his hand and gently rubbed Mirajane's head, just like before.
"Don't worry, I will definitely answer it. Even if I am going to the toilet, I will answer it, okay?"
"Pfft..."
Mirajane burst into laughter and hit him angrily.
"Disgusting! Who wants you to pick up the phone while you're on the toilet?"
Lu Chongwei took Magic Crystal into his arms solemnly and put it close to his body.
"Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself, the old man and Elfman."
"Well. You too... must be safe."
Mirajane stood at the gate of the city, waving his hands vigorously.
The setting sun stretched Lu Chongwei's shadow very long. He waved his hand with his back to Mirajane and strode on the journey.
This time, it's for stronger power.
Also for the girl waiting for rescue in another world
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the year X784.
A port city in the south of the Fiore Kingdom, Hargeon.
A huge merchant ship slowly docked, its whistle blaring through the sky.
Lu Chongwei carried a simple suitcase and walked down the gangway with the flow of people. Two years have made him look more mature. His face that was originally a little green now has sharp edges and corners, and his eyes are more calm and restrained.
But his iconic dead fish eyes and lazy temperament have remained unchanged.
"Finally back..."
Lu Chongwei stretched out greatly, and the bones all over his body made a crackling sound.
That damn Decade Quest is more troublesome than he imagined. The environment of Far North is extremely harsh, and the so-called Eternal Flame is guarded by a group of Frost Giant with ancient bloodline.
Fortunately, the task was completed. Although he has not fully mastered Bankai, Ryujin Jakka and Shikai have been developed to the extreme by him, and he has even vaguely touched the threshold.
"Gululu--"
An inappropriate sound came from my stomach.
Lu Chongwei touched his dry belly and sighed.
"Let's find a place to eat first. A starving man can't ask the old man for help."
At this moment, the instant message Magic Crystal in his arms suddenly vibrated.
Lu Chongwei took out the crystal and as soon as he injected the magic power, Mirajane's gentle smiling face appeared in mid-air.
"Zhongwei brother! Where have you been?"
"I just arrived Hargeon Port and I'm looking for food." Lu Chongwei replied with a smile.
"Hargeon? What a coincidence!" Mirajane was in the guild, and the background sound was a little noisy. "Natsu and Happy are also there."
"What is that idiot doing there? Demolition again?"
"No." Mirajane covered his mouth and chuckled, "I heard there were rumors that 'Fire Dragon' appeared there. Natsu thought it was Igneel, so he ran over happily."
"Fire Dragon?" Lu Chongwei was a little surprised, "If a dragon of the size of Igneel appeared in the port, this city would be gone, right?"
"Who says it's not the case, but that single-celled creature of his will never listen to advice." Mirajane shrugged helplessly, "Since you are there, just bring them back by the way to prevent him from getting into trouble again."
"Okay, I understand. Hang up now and I'll go look for food."
After hanging up the call, Lu Chongwei walked into an open-air restaurant that looked pretty good.
"Boss! Serve all your signature dishes here! And two barrels of cold beer!"
Lu Chongwei found a seat by the window and sat down. As soon as he finished ordering his meal, he glanced casually and saw a table not far away.
The pink-haired boy was lying on the table and devouring his food. He looked very bold when eating, and the plates were stacked higher than a person. Next to him, a blue kitten was holding a fish and chewing it with relish.
Opposite them, sat a blond girl. She was wearing a blue and white sleeveless top, with a bunch of keys hanging on her waist, and she was counting the coins in her wallet with a pained look on her face.
"Natsu? Happy?"
Lu Chongwei walked over with the beer that just arrived.
"Woooo! Lu Chongwei!"
Natsu's mouth was stuffed with meat. When he saw Lu Chongwei, he shouted vaguely and almost choked himself to death.
"Hey! It's Zhongwei!" Happy raised the fish bone to say hello.
