Chapter 167 Erza returns, everyone’s fear! Lucy: Is Erza strong? How about Nazby?
"What?"
"Are you going to resist me?"
"Resist a noble, great, Duke?!"
"Inferior trash, according to the laws of the kingdom, I am qualified to execute you directly!"
"However, you are so ugly! I really don't want to kill a guy who makes me feel sick. This will give me nightmares when I sleep at night~"
Duke Aybar looked arrogant. He glanced at Lucy with a disdainful look, then gently snapped his fingers and said in a charitable tone: "But since you have the courage to come to me for an interview! I will Let me open your eyes to this ugly girl! What is it like to be worthy of a noble woman like me?”
"Your Majesty the Duke, are you looking for us?!"
As Duke Aibar's words fell, four "women" with different shapes, the one facing the sweetest one, the one that was so eye-catching, appeared in front of Lucy.
"See? Only such a beauty is worthy of me!"
Duke Aybar said this.
"Master is really good at talking~"
"Yes, we are the four beauties who stand at the pinnacle of beauty in the Palace of Fiore."
"Ugly girl, please leave quickly! This is not a place for a woman like you."
"Open your eyes and take a good look! We are called beauties~"
As Duke Aibar finished speaking, the four beauties all acted coyly, showing shy postures, waving their hands towards Lucy, and spoke with disgust on their faces.
"Ah!!"
"My eyes!"
Seeing this, Lucy's whole body went numb. She covered her head with both hands, wailing in pain, with confusion and incomprehension on her face.
Well, in fact, Lucy can't afford to lose, she can lose...
But even if she loses, she still loses to the top beauties like Mirajane, Lisanna, or Jenny Lealette, who have long occupied the top spots or even the top of the model photo sales list.
However, she lost to the four unknown 'beings' in front of her in terms of beauty. What on earth was going on? !
Hey, bastard, is there something wrong with this world? !
"There is nothing we can do."
After a brief wailing, Lucy regained her composure in a very short period of time. With firm eyes, she took out the communication magic crystal she had prepared in advance and said coldly: "Natsu, it's your turn to appear!"
"Oh?!"
"It seems that you are not an ordinary maid as I guessed~"
"Come on! Call your companions out~"
"No matter who you are, what is your purpose?!"
"You will never be a match for the great and noble Duke Aybar!"
Duke Aibar, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. He turned his head, looked Lucy up and down, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Haha, I hope you can be so arrogant after my companion appears."
Lucy sneered and spoke confidently.
Immediately, Lucy, Duke Aybar, and the maids behind the Duke faced off silently. The whole scene was quiet, as if someone had pressed the pause button...
"Are you kidding me?!"
Five minutes later, Duke Aibar frowned. He looked at Lucy with great displeasure and asked.
"No!"
"Natsu, Natsu, where have you been?!"
Lucy held the communication crystal in her hand and called to her teammate Natsu tremblingly.
"Forget it, I don't know who you are?!"
"However, it is already a serious crime to dare to fool a Duke like this!"
"My roses! Go and arrest this ugly girl..."
Duke Aibar clapped his hands gently and signaled to his four maids to capture Lucy and send her to the dungeon to torture her to extract a confession.
"Ugly girl, let's capture her without mercy~"
As Duke Aybar finished speaking, the four maids had already taken out their things (mops, brooms, feather dusters, clothes poles) and surrounded Lucy.
"Natsu, Natsu..."
"Come quickly!"
"Isn't it too cheating?! You..."
Lucy looked at the extremely unfavorable situation in front of her. She wanted to cry but couldn't express her pain. She could only keep calling Natsu, hoping that Natsu would give him some strength and come quickly.
"Shout!"
"This is the outskirts, within the sphere of influence of Duke Aybar's manor. There are no outsiders nearby, there will be no outsiders, and there is no place to hide people."
"Even if your partner is hiding in the woods closest to here, he is still at least two hundred meters away from you. By the time he arrives, it will be too late~"
The four maids said, already wrapping Lucy up.
"There is nothing we can do."
When Lucy saw this, she gently touched the star spirit key on her waist, preparing to summon the star spirits to fight. Without Natsu's help, she could still complete the task alone.
For a moment, Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly, took a few steps back, then took out a golden key from her waist, and said loudly: "Open it! Taurus..."
"Star Spirit Key..."
"You are indeed a member of the Duke Magisters and a Celestial Spirit Magister."
Before Lucy could actually summon the star spirit, Duke Aibar, who was already on guard, gently snapped his fingers and made a soft 'pop' sound.
The next second, a maid who was as tall as a brown bear, covered with muscles, and had short light pink hair broke through the ground and came to Lucy's side. She grabbed Lucy and planned to open the door to the stars. wrist.
"Um..."
Lucy's wrist hurt, and she subconsciously let go of the key in her hand.
"Master, did you call me?"
After the maid finished all this, she looked at Duke Aibar and asked.
"Brother Balu, you did a good job~" Duke Aibar first praised his maid, then looked at Lucy and let out a lustful laugh: "Hey hey hey~"
"Star spirit key! Haha..."
"If you are a Celestial Spirit Magister, you should understand~"
"You Celestial Spirit Magisters, once you lose the key, you are no different from ordinary people~"
Duke Aibar clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Lucy with an arrogant expression, and spoke calmly.
"Okay, now you're at your wits' end."
Then, Duke Aibar said confidently.
“Boom!!”
At exactly the moment when Lucy was in trouble, there was a harsh sound that broke through the air!
A pink-haired boy with a dragon-scale scarf around his neck fell steadily from the clear, cloudless sky, and landed next to Lucy with a 'bang' sound...
After the young man landed, he first looked up at the sky and thanked a certain blue cat flying in the sky: "Happy, thank you very much. I have nothing to do with you from now on!"
"Love~"
In the sky, the blue cat with white wings spread out immediately responded to the boy and flew towards a distant, safe place...
When the pink-haired boy saw this, he moved his wrist gently, making a soft sound of "crack, crack," and looked at Duke Aybar in front of him, seeming to be talking to himself or facing him. Lucy, who was beside her, said softly: "I told you a long time ago, there is no need to go to that trouble, just punch in."
"Natsu, you are finally here."
When Lucy saw this, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with one hand, looked at the pink-haired boy, and spoke excitedly.
"Haha, you really have a companion?!"
"It seems that I really underestimate you..."
"Four big roses! Give me..."
When Duke Aibar saw this, he frowned slightly and motioned with his eyes to his four stunning maids to wrap up Natsu.
"Suffer death!"
After the four beauties understood what Duke Aibar meant, they immediately surrounded Natsu with brooms, mops, clothes poles, and feather dusters.
"Get out of the way! Don't get in the way."
When Natsu saw this, flames erupted from his body, directly igniting the weapons in the hands of the four stunning maids.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
"It's on fire! Find water quickly, find water quickly!"
The four beauties looked at the flames that were spreading towards them along with the 'weapons' in their hands. Their expressions were extremely hurried, and they 'shouted' again and again, running towards Duke Aibar's manor, they were looking for water. Come put out the fire.
"Haha, you really have some skills."
When Duke Aibar saw this, he did not panic at all. Instead, after praising Natsu, he continued: "Brother Baruch, subdue him for me."
"Okay, Master."
The pink-haired maid named Baruge, after receiving Duke Aibar's order, immediately let go of Lucy and charged towards Natsu.
"I told you not to get in the way!"
When Natsu saw this, he punched him with his backhand.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by endless flames...
Baruch was directly punched by Natsu and flew into the sky, turning into a shooting star.
"Eh?!"
When Duke Aibar surprisingly discovered that even Brother Baruch seemed to be no match for Natsu, he finally widened his eyes, with a hint of panic in his expression, and shouted nervously: "Brother Panisiu, it's your turn now." It’s time for you to take action.”
"We should have taken action long ago..."
After Duke Aibar finished speaking, two tall men with weapons on their backs walked out of Duke Aibar's manor and strode towards Natsu.
"Haha! Are you scared?!"
"To tell you the truth! Brother Panixiu is the ace of the mercenary guild Southern Wolf, known as the professional magician killer. The two have worked together to kill many long-established magicians!"
"You two kids will never be their opponents."
Duke Aybar, after seeing the Panisiu brothers whom he spent a lot of money to hire, walked out of the manor behind him, came to his side, and protected him...
Only then did he feel full of security in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his originally tense expression became calmer and more relaxed.
"The Roar of the Flame Dragon!"
Don’t wait for Duke Aibar to say more!
Natsu first took a deep breath of cold air and sucked out all the magic power nearby.
Immediately, Natsu opened his bloody mouth and spit out a stream of hot dragon breath with a diameter of ten meters in front of everyone...
The terrifying heat wave went straight forward, passing by the side of Duke Aibar, instantly engulfing the Panisiu brothers before they had time to take action, and rushed towards the manor behind everyone.
"Boom!!"
After a harsh roar...
The Panisiu brothers had disappeared, and half of the manor behind these two so-called magister killers had been wiped off the ground by Natsu's dragon breath.
Of course, it's not that Natsu's dragon breath can't wipe out the other half of the manor...
It's just that Natsu's flames were in a straight line. After wiping out half of the manor, they rushed towards the mountains behind the manor. After blasting a big hole in the center of the mountains, they shot into the clouds and disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, hot molten lava was still flowing out of the large hole in the center of the mountain. "Hoo~"
After doing all this, Natsu exhaled a burst of white smoke from his mouth. He walked slowly towards Duke Aibar and asked, "Hey! You just said that those two guys specialize in hunting. The killer is coming!”
At this moment, Duke Aibar looked around, looking at the charred land, the disappeared manor, and the blasted mountains. He was completely and completely frightened by Natsu's power. He roared and blasted. Crossing the mountains, is this horse still a human being? !
Then, everyone just heard a 'pop'!
Duke Aybar, who was so arrogant just now, fell to his knees on the ground...
In front of Lucy and Natsu, he held his head and begged: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go! Although I don't know what I did, but I am really wrong." I don’t dare anymore.”
"Hmph!"
"The biggest mistake you ever made was to be blind..."
"Now open your eyes and look at me. Am I beautiful?"
At this time, Lucy took advantage of the magic power and walked confidently in front of Duke Aibar, put on a graceful posture that could show off her perfect figure, and asked Duke Aibar.
"You, I..."
Duke Aibar looked up. He looked at the extremely vulgar woman in front of him and the figure that disgusted him. He was about to say something sarcastic, but he saw Natsu next to Lucy, who was full of anger... …
At this moment, Duke Aibar clenched his fists silently, letting his nails sink into his palms, and his palms were filled with blood. In just a few breaths, Duke Aibar's heart was constantly fighting between heaven and man...< br>
After a long struggle in his heart between the 'art' and 'life' that he had been pursuing for half his life, Duke Aybar surrendered and said with a hopeless expression: "You are the best person I have ever seen in my life. The most beautiful girl ever”
After a while, Duke Aibar continued: "After all, I am a vulgar person, not one who can sacrifice himself for art."
Next.
Under the pressure of Lucy and Natsu, Duke Aibar handed over the novel "Sunrise" that needed to be destroyed in the mission they took on (Duke Aibar's library happened to be one that Natsu had not destroyed, the other half of the estate).
"So, you are here to find the book "Sunrise"?!"
"Although this book was written by Kem Saleo, a famous writer in the Kingdom of Fiore, and it is written with me as the protagonist, it is just a boring novel..."
"Haha, he simply hurt the feelings of me, a loyal book fan, and wasted three years of my time."
Duke Aibar wrapped his arms in front of him and said angrily.
Well, in order to get the great writer Kem Saleo to write a novel for him, this guy locked Kem Saleo in a small dark room and forced Kem to continue writing for him, and he was locked up for three years. time.
If Duke Abar had known earlier that Lucy and others were here for this novel, he would have just given it to Lucy and Natsu. Why did he make the situation so tense? !
"You force others to write books for you, and you still have the nerve to say..."
Upon hearing this, Lucy stretched out her Lucy Iron Fist and hit Duke Aibar on the head hard.
"Plop~"
Immediately, there was a soft sound, and a bunch of keys fell from Duke Aibar's side.
"Stare..."
Lucy looked at the key dropped by Duke Abar and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Give it to you, give it all to you..."
Duke Abar knew that he had been exposed, so he had to hand over all his Protoss keys to Lucy.
These celestial spirit keys are: Virgo Bargo, one of the zodiac signs, and Pegasus Pegasus and Unicorn Unicorn, the silver keys.
"Mine."
Lucy looked at the three Star Spirit Keys in her hand. She was overjoyed and finally accepted the three keys.
"Lucy, can this book be burned?!"
As for Natsu, he looked at the "Sunrise" in his hand and prepared to burn it.
"Wait..."
"After all, this is the work of Kem Saleo, please let me take a good look at it."
Lucy didn't give Natsu a chance and simply took Kem Sareo's novel from Natsu's hands and started reading it.
"This is?!"
Lucy was also a loyal reader of Kem Saleo's works, so she just casually browsed through them and noticed something was wrong.
"What?!"
"Sure enough, there is something in this book "Sunrise", is there a secret that I don't know about?"
Seeing this, Duke Aibar asked excitedly.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
In response, Lucy slapped Duke Aibar to the ground.
"Woooooo! I just want someone to write an autobiography." Duke Aibar burst into tears and kept crying: "Why am I so miserable?!"
It's a pity that Duke Aybar's hard days have just begun...
In fact, the Emerald Princess has found out about Duke Aibar's unauthorized imprisonment of the great writer Kem Saleo, and decided to sentence Duke Aibar to five years in prison.
Let Duke Aibar also taste the feeling of being locked up.
Therefore, it is wrong to lock the author in a small dark room and force him to write a novel.
Ahem...
other side.
Lucy and Natsu returned to the mission client's villa.
Lucy placed "Sunrise" in the hands of the task client, Kirby Menlo.
"Didn't I ask you to destroy it?"
The client looked puzzled by this.
"Buzz!"
However, it was precisely when this novel titled "DAYBREAK" fell into the hands of the client that it immediately shone brightly...
The line of letters "DAYBREAK" as the title on the cover was re-spelled in the blink of an eye and turned into "DEARKABY".
Even the content inside has been subversively changed.
"This is?!"
When the client saw this, his eyes widened and he looked at a loss.
"Actually, this is the real name of this book..."
"Yes, its name is not "Sunrise", but "Dear Kirby", which is your father, the great writer and magician Mr. Kem Sareo (pen name)..."
"To be precise, it is a letter written by Mr. Renqua Menlo (real name) for his long-lost son, Mr. Kirby Menlo."
"This book is not the worst book Mr. Kem Saleo has ever written in his life, but the best book he has ever written in his life!"
"The reason why Mr. Keim chose to close the book after writing this book is because he can no longer write a better work than him! This is the final masterpiece that can be passed down to the world."
"After Mr. Kem Saleo, the great writer who is famous throughout the Kingdom of Fiore, wrote this novel for you, he no longer has any regrets."
Lucy loudly told her client Kirby what she had deduced.
"Father..."
After hearing this, Kirby fell to his knees with the book in his hand and cried excitedly.
"I will give you the money and thank you for bringing my father's book to me."
Kirby wiped away his tears, held the book his father left for him tightly in his arms, and said excitedly as he looked at Lucy and Natsu.
"As for the money, we don't need it. After all, we have not completed the commission to destroy the novel."
After hearing this, Natsu scratched his head vigorously and said this.
"Eh?!"
"How can that happen?!"
In response, the Kirbys said with shocked faces.
"That's two million..."
Lucy was also shocked. That was two million, how could you just say you want it or not? !
So...
"So that couple are just ordinary people?!"
"Obviously he is the child of a great writer, but he has no money or anything. How strange?"
"By the way, I didn't expect that even the house was borrowed from a friend, just to save face."
"Really, are we the kind of people who know how to order dishes?"
"No matter what, as long as we accept the mission, we will complete it! We really underestimate the professionalism of our Fairy Tail Guild magisters."
Lucy said with a helpless expression on her way back with Natsu.
Yes, in fact, the Kirbys, the clients of their mission, simply cannot afford the high commission fee of 2 million j...
Natsu saw this through, because the Kirby couple had the scent of earth, which seemed incompatible with the smell of the villa.
"Speaking of which, after joining the regular Magister Guild, which magister can't get any commission fees for two consecutive tasks?!"
Lucy complained loudly.
A few days later.
The time came to July 10, X784.
Magisters who went on missions within the guild returned one after another.
"Natsu, I have become stronger!"
"Really? I didn't see it..."
Gray, who had been training for half a week, approached Natsu as soon as he returned to the guild. The magic power surged in the two of them, and it seemed that they would fight if they had the slightest disagreement.
"You have to do work!"
As for Lucy, she stood in front of the Fairy Tail Guild's signboard, frowning slightly, constantly looking for something: "The job of finding cats, the job of love divination, the job of gambling divination, the job of exterminating bandits, the job of bodyguards" , the job of a magister really has everything~”
"Everyone is in trouble!"
"Erza, and the Berserion family, are back..."
Just when Lucy was looking for the right moment for her mission.
Outside the gate of Fairy Tail Guild, several magisters belonging to Fairy Tail rushed in quickly and spoke in a panic.
"Erza is back?!"
In the guild, Natsu and Gray, who had quarreled over trivial matters, were so shocked that they couldn't help themselves after hearing the news that Erza was back...
Their brains obviously hadn't given any orders yet, but their bodies took action first. Like a pair of the closest friends in the world, they put their arms around each other and hugged each other, with shock and fear in their expressions.
In the guild, the other magisters also lowered their heads as much as they could, dodged whenever they could, and looked panicked.
It seems that everyone is afraid of this person named Erza.
"Who is Erza?"
For a moment, only Lucy, as a newcomer, looked at everything in front of her with a confused expression. It seemed that for the first time, she saw fear in Natsu and Gray.
Ever since.
Lucy looked at the trembling Fairy Tail guild magisters standing around her, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Who is this Erza? Is she strong? Why do everyone look so cool? She looks scared? Is she more powerful than Natsu?"
"Isn't that natural?"
"Natsu? He's just a guy who was beaten by Erza from childhood to adulthood!"
In this regard, Lisanna, who is a sales girl, said with a scared look on her face.
First update, six thousand words!
