A jumble of thoughts flashed through Jose's mind, and finally he spoke in a cold voice.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. I hope you succeed in the end and also keep your promise. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite later."
After saying these words, Jose did not linger and turned to leave.
However, as soon as he took a step, the muscle in the corner of his left eye twitched involuntarily.
The sudden turn of events left Jose completely bewildered.
Left is auspicious, right is inauspicious!
Could it be that even teaming up with Laxus will ultimately lead to defeat?
However, the thought had barely crossed Jose's mind when Jose quickly suppressed it.
At least, recalling the humiliation he had just suffered, he absolutely refused to believe that he would lose again.
Moreover, he will definitely make thorough preparations this time.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through his mind. Jose exhaled a deep breath, and with a flicker, he transformed into a sky full of black bats and vanished from the spot.
Laxus's face remained grim. He didn't know why Jose had paused earlier, nor did he want to know.
At least in Laxus's eyes, this cooperation was only proposed as a precaution.
Moreover, while Jose might fail, Laxus doesn't believe he will lose.
After all, he still possesses a huge trump card.
Half a day later, with the great battle between the two guilds coming to a hasty end, the town of Magnolia returned to peace once again.
The residents who had been hiding also began to show themselves.
For them, the sudden outbreak of war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord was indeed a surprise.
However, compared to Fairy Tail, they clearly had many complaints about the way Phantom Lord acted.
With the Phantom Lord now completely destroyed, it is even more likely to lose the Magic Council's approval.
This undoubtedly made many residents feel relieved.
For a time, the town of Magnolia was filled with discussions about this battle in every corner.
"Have you heard? The person Phantom Lord was a newcomer from Fairy Tail. I heard he single-handedly crushed the entire Phantom Lord Guild."
"Are you kidding me? Jose, the guild master of Phantom Lord, isn't he one of the Ten Wizard Saints? How could he lose to a newcomer? If he really lost to a newcomer, wouldn't that make this newcomer the strongest in Fairy Tail?"
"..."
The conversation flowed one after another, reaching Erza's ears.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Erza clenched her fists and quickened her pace unconsciously as she walked towards the weapon shop.
Seeing the tightly closed door, Erza was about to push it open and go inside when she saw two ragged figures rush out, nearly bumping into them.
An old armor blueprint fell to the ground.
The large characters written on it made Erza's expression change drastically.
"These are the blueprints for the legendary Heavenly One God Armor!"
Erza possesses Requip Magic, allowing her to instantly switch between magical armor.
However, the greatest use of Requip Magic is to wield magical armor.
To fully unleash the power of a powerful suit of armor, Requip Magic must be used.
If an ordinary person were to wear magical armor, they would be lucky to unleash 80% of its full power.
However, if Erza, who possesses the Requip Magic, were to wield it, she could unleash its full potential, even 100% or 120% of its power.
At the same time, there is absolutely no need to worry about being harmed by the magic armor.
This is arguably the true power of Requip Magic.
Erza is a master of Requip Magic.
They knew everything about those surviving and even legendary magical armors.
"Little girl, you actually know about the Heavenly One God Armor? This is a legendary armor capable of slaying gods, and its blueprints are extremely valuable."
A bespectacled man in a suit walked briskly over from a short distance away, intending to pick up the scattered blueprints on the ground.
Unfortunately, the two ragged old men quickly snatched the blueprints back into their hands.
"Kids, get out of the way! This blueprint is something we worked hard to get; it could sell for at least a few million."
An elderly man with a long beard spoke urgently.
"If we didn't urgently need the money, we definitely wouldn't have spent it to buy this!"
"Unfortunately, the boss didn't have enough money; he only offered one million. If he could have offered one and a half million, we would have had to reluctantly part with it."
"Otherwise, if we can't bring the money back, the villagers will go hungry."
At this point, the white-haired old man beside him also showed a look of dejection.
"You only want 1.5 million? This blueprint is worth at least 2.5 million! If we can forge the Heavenly One God Armor, we can sell it for several million. Most importantly, with this blueprint, we can mass-produce it..." The man in the suit was taken aback at first, then said excitedly.
"These blueprints are worth 1.5 million, I want them!"
"I remember I brought my card with me when I went out, let me give you the change first!"
As he spoke, the man in the suit quickly opened his briefcase.
After flipping through the pages for only half a minute, the man in the suit began to break out in a cold sweat and then said urgently.
"I'm sorry, I clearly remember bringing my black card with me, and there were tens of millions of dollars in it. Now it's suddenly gone. Why don't you come back with me to get it?"
"Go back with you?"
The long-bearded old man shook his head repeatedly.
"No, we need to leave quickly. Besides, what if you have ulterior motives if we go back with you?"
"It seems this blueprint isn't meant for you. Or you could try looking again and put together a better one. I need the money urgently, so I'll sell it to you for 200,000 less."
"Two hundred thousand cheaper?" The man in the suit's eyes lit up instantly, his face beaming with ecstasy.
He quickly searched his body thoroughly.
However, when he finished turning over, he only found 800,000.
The old man beside him shook his head, clearly dissatisfied, and subconsciously glanced at Erza.
The man in the suit Satori what was going on, and hurriedly walked towards Erza with a smile, then handed her a business card.
"My esteemed Archmage, I am the president of the East Garden Chamber of Commerce. This is my business card. I must acquire this Heavenly One God Armor blueprint. If you lend me 500,000, I will sell you a set of Heavenly One God Armor at cost price afterward."
"If you don't have enough money, I can let you pay in installments. As for the total price of that armor set, it'll be around two million, which is a super bargain."
"For anyone skilled in using Requip Magic, it's a highly sought-after skill. Becoming S-Class Mage would be a piece of cake, after all, that's the power to slay gods!"
Erza was completely bewildered.
Seeing this suddenly emerging hot commodity, I was clearly taken aback.
After all, Erza came here just a moment ago in search of even greater power.
