Erza Lucy, and the others instinctively looked towards Tatsumaki.
They dared not laugh casually.
After all, this little girl in front of us is indeed quite young, but her strength should not be underestimated.
Even Laxus could be easily killed.
Erza and the others certainly didn't want to be caught in the Tatsumaki.
"Pah, Bai Yu, what are you talking about? I don't care about these details." Tatsumaki slapped Bai Yu's hand away, saying this, but her eyes still deliberately glanced at the girl out of the corner of her eye.
Compared to those unsightly, floating things, this little girl is someone Tatsumaki finds increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Tatsumaki pretending not to care at all, Bai Yu knew what she was thinking. He smiled and ruffled Tatsumaki's hair again before saying...
"Alright, others have noticed we're here. Don't say anything out of the ordinary, so as not to frighten them."
The Nirvana Magic Tower, guarded by the Cait Shelter, is located deep within a desolate mountain.
Therefore, ordinary means of transportation are not available to get there.
The only way to travel is by magic carriage.
The caravan, composed of magical carriages, would also travel into the mountains to purchase various mountain delicacies and medicinal herbs in the surrounding towns, while also delivering daily necessities and food into the mountains.
Therefore, to avoid attacks from the dark guilds hiding in the shadows, caravans of magical wagons would hire mages or mercenaries to escort them into the mountains.
Of course, since the goods being transported are not expensive, the reward for this kind of mission is not high. For S-Class Mage like Erza, or A-Class mage like Natsu and Gray, unless they are really desperate for money, they would never waste their time taking on such a mission.
Only those who are not very strong and are newcomers to becoming archmages would accept such a task.
As for the mercenary and hunter guilds, they were never as popular as mages, so these escort missions became their main source of income.
"Are you guests heading to Nirvana Forest with the caravan? We're about to depart, please hurry and board the carriage." Wendy and Carla ran up quickly, and she asked timidly.
The Cait Shelter is a member of the Light Guild, but within the entire guild, it is only created by Guild Master Robaul using illusion magic.
Robaul was a special remnant of his thoughts, left behind to guard the Tower of Nirvana.
Therefore, in the vast Cait Shelter, the only truly living beings are Wendy and Carla, the Exceed.
Without the guidance of experienced mentors, the tasks that Wendy, who was just starting out, could take on were clearly limited.
If Bai Yu remembered correctly, Wendy now seems to not even know offensive magic, only some healing magic and purification magic to dispel negative effects.
" Wendy, don't linger too long, we need to verify their identities first," Carla urged urgently.
Lucy and Erza froze in place when they saw the cat that looked just like Happy.
" Happy!"
A scream suddenly came from Erza's large cart of luggage.
Happy, who had been sneaking around in the luggage, hoping to earn some extra money, froze on the spot as soon as he poked his head out.
After all, in this world, it's rare to meet someone like you, especially a woman.
That's harder than climbing to heaven.
Watching Happy run off to deliver the fish in an instant, Bai Yu smiled, took a swig of his drink, and said...
"We are members of the Fairy Tail Guild; this is our identification."
Bai Yu the Fairy Tail mark on the back of his hand.
Erza and the others were no exception.
Seeing this, Wendy paused for a moment, and was about to ask Carla what to do next.
"Hey, isn't that the Archmage over there? Why are you so slow? Hurry up and get everything ready for us. We're leaving immediately. If we're delayed or run into any problems, aren't you going to compensate us?"
A bald, burly man with half his face covered in tattoos shouted menacingly.
Erza frowned, glanced at Wendy was instantly panicked, and was about to say something.
However, Bai Yu was seen shaking his head slightly in acknowledgment.
"You bastard, get out of my way." Carla kicked the approaching Happy away, then went to Wendy's side and said in a deep voice.
"It is indeed the mark of Fairy Tail. You may board the carriage now. If you encounter any problems along the way, please let us know, and we will try our best to accommodate you."
" Wendy, let's go back and keep an eye on things up ahead."
After saying this, Carla dragged Wendy away.
Lucy reached out to stop Happy, who was about to follow, but Bai Yu Teuchi.
Lucy was indeed unclear about Bai Yu Bai Yu's intentions, but she still quickly followed him into the carriage.
Once they were seated, the magic carriage, which had already been prepared, quickly started moving and headed towards the Nirvana Forest.
Once the magic carriage had stabilized, Bai Yu took out the magic map to check the route.
" Bai Yu, why didn't you let me speak up for that girl just now? Were you worried about causing trouble?" Erza glanced at the carriage's direction and, seeing that it hadn't deviated from its planned route, couldn't help but ask.
"Those mercenaries have always been hostile towards us archmages. That girl is alone, so she'll probably be treated differently."
Erza knew perfectly well that Bai Yu Bai Yu was never afraid of trouble.
Otherwise, Erza would have already spoken up to help despite Bai Yu's attempts to stop her.
" Erza, I know what you're worried about," Bai Yu said calmly, taking a sip of his drink.
"Those mercenaries were indeed deliberately making things difficult for that girl, but we can help her once, but can we help her a second or a third time?"
"That girl isn't a member of Fairy Tail, so we can't keep her by our side every time we need to protect her."
"Therefore, there's only one thing we can do: give her the opportunity to grow and let her handle things herself."
Lucy and the others were taken aback, completely unexpected that Bai Yu would think so deeply.
Erza couldn't help but ask, " Bai Yu, did you send Happy along to ease that girl's psychological pressure?"
"It seems I almost ruined your plans."
Seeing Bai Yu's meticulousness, which surpassed even that of the women present, those present were clearly caught off guard.
Bai Yu touched the tip of his nose helplessly and said, "Actually, that's one reason. There's a second reason."
"I'm worried that the journey to Nirvana Forest won't be easy. After all, as one of the Three Great Guilds of Balam, the Oración Seis is making a move against the Tower of Nirvana. In order to deal with the Guild of Light, there might also be members of the Guild of Darkness along the way."
At this point, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow.
"They're here!"
