Moen had just displayed his power, so naturally no one would bother to cause him trouble. After all, even King Thomas himself didn't mind, so others had no right to criticize Moen.
Soon, everyone dispersed, and no one dwelled on the matter anymore.
Makarov's actions definitely served as a good guide; since even he didn't rush into the palace, others naturally wouldn't either, which greatly reduced the possibility of riots.
In the afternoon, the "Great Magician's Tournament" continued as usual, and the audience was still packed. The Thomas Brau arena hadn't been as lively as it had been in recent days for many years.
But then I thought about it again. This arena is right below the "Dragon Graveyard," and the fact that it's so lively up there can be considered a kind of "dance on the grave."
However, those dragons have been dead for four or five hundred years, and they may have been reincarnated as other animals by now. Whether they dance or not is none of their business.
Standing in the guild leader's viewing area, Moen's attention shifted to the [Saint Seiya System], because he had triggered a new mission that occurred when he destroyed the "Eclipse Gate".
[Mission Name: "The Gate of Eclipse!"]
Task details:
The Eclipse Gate is a time travel machine created by Zeref. Once opened, it allows travel to either the past or the future!
This thing is extremely dangerous and could cause the creation and collapse of multiple timelines. In order to prevent malicious people from using it to destroy the normal timelines, it must be completely destroyed without exception!
Task progress:
Destroy the Eclipse Gate: 1/2 (Incomplete)
Mission Reward: Random Gold Cloth.
This mission revealed to Moen that another "Eclipse Gate" was hidden in a secret place, but King Thomas knew nothing about it, and Moen chose to believe him.
King Thomas clearly didn't know; the Fiore royal family only knew the location of this one door, and the other one might be a backup plan left by Anna Heartfilia.
To find out the location of the "Eclipse Gate," we'll probably have to find Anna Heartfilia first.
No, finding Zeref himself should also tell them, since he made it, and he would definitely know where it is.
Jelf...
""
Moen frowned. That strange "progenitor of dark magic" Zeref had intricate connections with their "Fairy Tail" group, and it seemed that he wasn't as terrifying and ruthless as the rumors suggested.
But how to put it? There have indeed been many tragedies caused by Zeref. Just the fact that he created so many demons is enough to make Zeref's sins indelible. The demons he created have committed too many atrocities over the past few hundred years.
"This is a complete mess."
As he pondered, Moen rubbed his temples. Anna Heartfilia from the past, Zeref, the legendary mage who had lived for hundreds of years, the "Eclipse Gate" that could travel through time, and the end point to which all the contradictions pointed—the "Black Dragon" Acnologia.
None of these problems seem easy to solve. "Aislandon" is such a big place, it's really difficult to find someone, especially if that person is deliberately trying to hide.
After all, the entire "Aceland" is full of undeveloped areas. Once hidden deep in the mountains and forests, it is not easy to find. Otherwise, the "Dark Guild" would not have a place to survive.
Moen has requested King Thomas to order a vigorous search for news of Anna Heartfilia within the Kingdom of Fiore.
Of course, this also involves Jude Heartfilia. Moen has already sent a message to Jude, who is currently in the "City of Flowers," Crocus. He responded immediately, and the Heartfilia Group will do everything in its power to search for him.
After all, this "Anna Heartfilia" is the ancestor of the Heartfilia family, and she is also related to Leila's death. Jude really wants to find this "Anna".
They were living a good life together, but just because he "opened a door," he lost his wife, and Lucy lost her mother.
However, there's really nothing to question. After all, Leila Heartfilia did it voluntarily. Whether this kind of thing can ultimately succeed is something that Anna and the other designers aren't very confident about. It all depends on whether the younger generation can carry on the legacy and whether they are willing to cooperate. It can only be said that everything is a matter of timing and fate.
"Now, let's welcome our opponent for today's match, the young lady of the Heartfilia Group, the apprentice of the Rose Star Goddess! The powerful Celestial Spirit Mage from Fairy Tail Team A... Lucy Heartfilia!"
At this moment, King Thomas's passionate voice rang out in the arena, announcing the start of the battle. The first match was an internal war between Fairy Tail Team A and Fairy Tail Team D.
Lucy represents Team A of "Fairy Tail," while Wakaba represents Team D.
The teams that will compete are all selected in advance, and the matchups are decided by drawing lots. Fairy Tail's luck was obviously not good enough to draw a team with "zero internal battles". After all, there are eight teams in total, and Fairy Tail accounts for half of them. It is really too difficult to avoid internal battles.
"What bad luck..."
""
Uncle Wakaba, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, was somewhat speechless. If he had drawn someone else's name, he would have been confident he could put up a fight, but having drawn Lucy's, he knew he had no chance.
"And her opponent... is Wakaba, a veteran mage from Fairy Tail's Team D!"
Listening to the host's very brief introduction of himself, Wakaba curled his lip. He wasn't exactly an unknown person, was he?
"Uncle Wakaba, I have to win. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Standing in the arena, looking at Wakaba, Lucy smiled and apologized to him, which made Wakaba smile wryly.
"I'll let you win, I can't stop you."
Wakaba exhaled a smoke ring and spoke helplessly.
"Battle...begin!"
Despite making discouraging remarks, Wakaba did not readily surrender after the host announced the start of the battle.
"Buzz!"
Magic surged, and the smoke rings exhaled by Wakaba transformed into fists, striking Lucy from all directions.
"Sorry, Lucy! I also need to try my best to get this point for my teammates!"
Wakaba, with a cigarette in his mouth, shouted loudly. How could he possibly admit defeat so easily? They were his opponents now, and he carried the expectations of his comrades. He had to at least try his best!
"Go! Wakaba!"
The members of Team D from "Fairy Tail" cheered for their teammate. Veteran Wakaba still had many old friends in the guild. There were also many people in the "Fairy Tail" stands cheering for him and praising his spirit.
Of course, compared to Lucy's supporters, Wakaba's supporters are few in number. In the entire arena, most people are cheering for Lucy. In terms of popularity, Wakaba is obviously no match for Lucy.
"Go, Miss Lucy! You'll win!"
Aside from Fairy Tail, the most enthusiastic supporters of Lucy were the staff of Heartfilia. In fact, their supporters created a much bigger buzz than Fairy Tail, clearly having rehearsed beforehand.
The employees of the "Heartfilia Group" waved flags and banners, chanting in unison. They also prepared various Lucy merchandise purchased from the official "Fairy Tail" channels, making them exceptionally professional.
There are even dedicated staff who sell support items to other viewers at prices lower than those purchased from official "Fairy Tail" channels. Their main selling point is "recommendation," implying that if you're willing to support Lucy, they'll even give you support items for free.
If Wakaba were to compete with the "rich heiress of a tycoon family" in terms of popularity, it would be strange if he could win. Moreover, Lucy has Moen as her mentor, and the attention diverted from Moen is enough to give Lucy considerable fame.
If the outcome of this competition were decided by voting, then Wakaba wouldn't even need to fight; even if he received ten times the votes, he still wouldn't win.
"Buzz!"
"The Gate of Leo has opened!"
Leo's figure appeared from among them. The handsome Leo Celestial Spirit's appearance caused a cheer. Leo was also somewhat famous in "Fairy Tail", mainly because of his looks. He was also a top contender on the "ideal boyfriend" list.
As for who tops this list, there's no need to hesitate. If a magazine dares to change the top spot to someone else when creating this kind of list, it will definitely be criticized mercilessly. Who can snatch the first place in this kind of ranking from Moen's hands?
"Wakaba, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise I can take you down by myself without Lucy even having to lift a finger."
Leo used "Leo Star" to shatter all of Wakaba's smoke fists, then jokingly teased Wakaba.
"Enough talk! I won't give up easily!"
Wakaba remained defiant, but he knew Leo was telling the truth: the strength of a "celestial spirit" was closely related to its contractor. The more powerful the contractor, the greater the assistance they could provide to the "celestial spirit," and the stronger the "celestial spirit" would become.
Lucy now possesses undeniably immense magical power. She is already clad in the "Cygnus Suit," and the "Star Magic" is continuously supplied to her, making Leo feel as if he's on drugs.
Leo, the "Leo Celestial," was already a top-tier Celestial, and now he's even more formidable, making it very difficult for Wakaba to deal with him.
"Buzz!!!"
At this moment, Lucy finally stopped standing by. Since Wakaba was unwilling to give up, she had to step in and end the battle.
As Lucy assumed that starting stance, and as her body moved, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
"Diamonds...stars..."
"7
"I give up!"
Before Lucy could throw the punch, Wakaba had already raised his hands and shouted "I give up." He could only be stubborn for a while; he couldn't really take the beating, could he? The old man also had his pride. If he really got beaten down, he would lose face when he returned to the guild.
"Whoa~~~"
Wakaba's actions immediately drew boos, with even his supporters laughing and echoing his sentiments.
It was obvious to anyone with eyes that Wakaba was doomed to lose, so it was not surprising that he chose to surrender. But that did not stop people from booing him.
"I am inferior in skill, so I concede defeat."
Wakaba didn't care at all. He shrugged helplessly, looked at Lucy who had finished her work, and nodded to her.
"Then I'll take the ten points!"
Lucy responded with a smile, winking playfully, and won another ten points for their team. Now their lead was quite large, with a fourteen-point lead over the second-place Fairy Tail B team!
Of course, if Fairy Tail Team B also wins, the lead will be brought back to four points.
The Fairy Tail B team is represented by "Iron Dragon" Gajeel. They didn't draw an internal battle, but rather...
"The Mermaid's Heel".
Team C of "Fairy Tail" sent out Rydas, who drew "Four-Headed Hound", while the remaining team was "Boa Princess Scale" against "Blue Pegasus".
After watching Lucy's battle, Moen left the scene without lingering. His mind was now filled with thoughts of the "Eclipse Gate," as it was another opportunity to unlock a [Gold Cloth].
After awakening his "Cosmo", Moen has been working hard to improve it, but the speed of improvement is not obvious, at least not as obvious as directly unlocking the [Gold Cloth].
Although he had only awakened his "Cosmo" for a short time, Moen still hoped to become stronger. After all, there was still a huge hidden danger like the "Black Dragon" Acnologia, and now was not the time to cultivate slowly.
In addition to having King Thomas order the search for "Anna" and having Jude use the "Heartfilia Group's" channels to find "Anna," Moen also contacted the "Magic Council." He wasn't sure if "Anna" was definitely within the territory of the "Kingdom of Fiore," so he still needed to mobilize more people.
Furthermore, he also needs to check the Magic Council's database to see if there are any records related to the "Eclipse Gate." If he can find the answer directly from the Magic Council, then there's no need to rush to find "Anna."
As for finding Jelf, that's even harder and more dangerous.
The "Anna" from the past is clearly on the side of order. She went through all this trouble to travel here in order to eliminate the "Black Dragon" Acnologia. If someone finds her, there certainly won't be any danger for them.
Jelf is different. He is still very dangerous. Even if he doesn't want to hurt others, he seems to be unable to control himself. Moen has seen the moment when that guy suddenly went berserk. The shockwave that he emitted, full of the aura of death, is not something that ordinary people can resist.
