Chapter 201 Ian: Layla, become a member of the Twelve Shields of the Saint!
"Boy, it seems that you have encountered some little trouble, so do you need help?!"
The man wearing a black robe asked Leila and Jiude.
"Who are you?!"
"How dare you break into our Heartfilia family's estate?!"
"This is private property. You are not allowed to trespass without permission. Get out quickly."
When Jiude saw this, he did not directly answer any of the black-robed man's questions, but remained calm and protected his wife Leila behind him...
He looked at the man in black robe with evil eyes and shouted angrily at the mysterious man in black robe who broke into the manor without permission.
"..."
In response, the man in black robe did not respond at all. He just stood there quietly, looking at Jiude and Leila silently, as if waiting for their answer.
"You guy..."
"If you don't leave, I will notify the nearby army."
"Once the army arrives, it will be useless even if you want to regret it, so you have to think clearly."
Jiude saw that the man in black robe had no intention of leaving. His eyelids jumped wildly. After thinking about it, he tried to use the army to scare away the man in black robe.
"Do you two need help?!"
In this regard, the man in black robe still repeated his previous words and ignored Jiude's threat.
"Tsk..."
When Jiude saw this, he couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue. His brain was running rapidly, thinking of ways to break the situation.
"Jiude is fine. I can feel it. The person in front of me has no ill intentions."
Just when Jiude was about to say something, Layla, who had been staying behind Jiude, seemed to feel something. She stretched out her hand and put it on Jiude's shoulder, indicating that Jiude didn't need to be nervous.
"Layla."
Jiude felt the warmth brought by his wife's slender jade hands on his shoulders, and his originally anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Suck..."
"...Phew."
Jiude, after being comforted by Leila, he gradually gathered courage in his heart. It seemed that as long as Leila was here, he had nothing to fear!
In response to this, Jiude first took a deep breath, adjusted his mood slightly, and then looked at the man in black robe in front of him and asked: "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper, although I don't know who you are. ?! But I do need your help!"
"I don't know if you can help our Heartfilia family contact our family members who are far away on the continent of the west, Alakidasia. If you can, I would be really grateful."
After Jiude said this, he gently leaned towards the mysterious black-robed man in front of him and bowed.
Well, Jiude had already judged from the attitude of his wife and the fact that the other party broke into the Heartfilia family's villa without anyone noticing that the person in front of him was extraordinary, so he gave the other party the greatest respect.
"..."
After the man in black robe heard what Jiude said, he fell silent again.
"This guy..."
This made Jiude feel a little uneasy again. He was really not sure about the attitude of the man in black robe in front of him.
"Okay."
Just before Jiude couldn't bear it anymore and planned to continue speaking...
The mysterious man in black robes finally responded. He nodded slightly and signaled Jiude to go to Alakidasia, the continent of the west, and just leave it to him to inform Grame.
After that, he continued to ask Jiude: "Besides this matter, are there any other things?!"
"Um..."
Jiude didn't seem to expect that the man in black robes in front of him actually agreed.
You know, the continent of Ishgar is very far away from the continent of Alakidasia. How long will it take to go back and forth? !
"By the way, one more thing is that you must come back here before the solar eclipse on July 7th. Can you do it?!"
Then, Jiude seemed to think of something. He looked at the man in black robe in front of him and asked loudly.
"Even if you can't come back, please find a way to send Gramer back..."
"If nothing else works, at least you have to send back the star spirit key of Akuya, the zodiac sign of Aquarius!"
"This matter is of vital importance to my wife and our Heartfilia family. Please help me!"
Then, without waiting for the man in black robe in front of him to answer, Jiude continued to add.
Well, Jiude doesn’t know what’s wrong with him? !
He was clearly not sure whether the person in front of him was a liar or not...
But he didn't know why, but the other party just gave him the feeling that he would not deceive him.
"Okay."
After Jiude made N requests in a row...
The man in black robe just nodded slightly, and he still didn't seem to say much.
"Thank you for your help to our Heartfilia family."
"In fact, the solar eclipse on July 7 this year is a big day for our Heartfilia family..."
"According to tradition, we must collect all the keys to the twelve zodiac signs. At present, our Heartfilia family has made contact with the other keys to the zodiac!"
"Only Aquarius Aquia's star spirit key is currently in the hands of our family's former servant, Gramme..."
"However, here's the problem!"
"Grame is not currently on the continent of Ishgar, but on the distant continent of the west, Alakidasia..."
"So we can't get in touch for a short time! We can only ask for your help to find it."
Then, without waiting for the man in black robe to say more...
Jiude then began to talk to himself. His words were nine percent true and one percent false, combining fiction and reality. The purpose was to make the man in black robes in front of him confused about the truth.
This is also Jiude's way of protecting the Heartfilia family and his wife Layla.
"Reward."
In this regard, this black-robed man from the Heartfilia family who broke in without permission seemed not to be very interested in what Jiude said. He spoke straightforwardly.
"Reward?!"
Jiude was speaking enthusiastically. After being interrupted by the man in black robes in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. His brain seemed to have shut down. He paused for five seconds before speaking. Restart.
"Could it be that you are a member of the Magister Guild?!"
Jiude tentatively asked the man in black robe in front of him.
"Yes."
The man in black robe nodded. "I said so."
"You shocked me."
After Jiude got the affirmative answer from the person in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the man in black robe in front of him. He no longer had the nervousness and anxiety before, but assumed the posture of a master. , said coldly: "Next time, when you come in, remember to ring the doorbell and go to the front door."
"..."
In this regard, the man in black robe seemed not to have expected that Jiude could change his face as fast as a chameleon, which made the man in black robe silent for a while.
"Since you are a member of the Magister's Guild, I think you already know clearly the content of the mission that our Heartfilia family has issued to your guild this time..."
< br>
"Therefore, I won't go into details! I sincerely hope that you can follow the mission and immediately go to the continent of the west, Alakidasia, to transfer the stars of Gramme and Aquarius to Aquarius. Bring back the spiritual key.”
Jiude originally thought that the man in black robes in front of him was some kind of bandit, or a magician from a dark guild, or a wandering magician...
After Jiude was 'confirmed' that the person in front of him was a member of the Light Magister Guild, he immediately felt confident.
After all, members of the Light Magister Guild can escape from the monks, but they cannot escape from the temple!
And there is the Magic Council ERA looking after him, so he, the apparent head of the Heartfilia family, will never be used against him.
What's that sentence called? !
Do good guys have to be held at gunpoint?
If you are not a good person, you have to be pointed at a gun!
But because you are a good person, you will be pointed at a gun by others.
This is why, although Fairy Tail, the Magister Guild, has done many just things and helped many people on the continent of Ishgar, it never calls itself a good person.
Because, as a veteran, Makarov did not want his children to be threatened.
"..."
The man in black robe was kept silent for a while by Jiude's attitude, and then he continued: "If my mission is completed, I want half of your Heartfilia family's property!"
"Hiss..."
"You want half of our Heartfilia family's property?"
“This guy really has a huge appetite, and he’s not afraid of being greedy and swallowing an elephant?!”
Jiude took a breath of cold air. He was so shocked by the words of the man in black robes in front of him that he kept complaining loudly in his heart.
Well, although Jiude has always kept his emotions secret, he actually has a lot of inner drama, and he is complaining crazily every second.
Lucy: "I finally know from whom did I inherit my ability to complain?! I always thought that I inherited my mother's ability to complain, but I didn't expect that it actually came from Jiude. You are really It’s so hidden! But this is true. How can my mother, a wealthy lady, be so good at complaining?”
"Okay!"
"As long as you can complete my commission..."
"I will give you half of our Heartfilia family's property in return."
Deep in his heart, Jiude complained about the man in black robe in front of him, and then directly agreed to the other party's request.
For Jiude, no matter how much money or property he has, it is not as important as his wife Leila.
Not to mention half of the family property, as long as it can exchange for Layla's life, even if it is the entire Heartfilia family's property, what's the matter? !
He Jiude didn't care at all.
Money can always be earned again.
However, there is only one life.
At the same time, after the man in black robe in front of him revealed his purpose, Jiude calmed down. As long as the other party has needs, everything can be discussed~
If the man in black robe in front of him not only wants to help the Heartfilia family but also does not ask for anything in return, then Jiude will have to worry about whether the man in black robe has ulterior motives.
"Deal."
After the man in black robe finished speaking, his figure immediately disappeared in front of Jiude and Leila.
"..."
Jiude looked at the scene in front of him, his pupils trembled slightly, and he thought to himself: "Is what just happened magic?! Haha, this man in black robe is indeed a member of the Magister Guild! But are these magisters all just pretending? Can’t force the crime? ”
"My Heartfilia family's manor doesn't have a gate?"
"The other party is very good, but they don't go through the door. They insist on using their own magic to make them appear and disappear, adding some sense of mystery that makes no sense."
Well, Jiude's complaints are still going on, and he keeps outputting them.
"Master Jiude, Mrs. Leila..."
"Outside the gate, there is a group of members who call themselves the Magister Guild. They say they have taken over your mission and plan to come in and talk to you."
Just when Jiude was complaining deeply in his heart, the servant of the Heartfilia family suddenly pushed open, and Jiude's study and office ran in with a panic look on his face.
"What?!"
After Jiude listened to the words of the servant in front of him, his expression suddenly changed. He was shocked and murmured: "No? If the guys from the Magister Guild who were hired by me came here now, then Who is that mysterious man in black robe just now?”
"Mr. Kutoku?!"
The servant looked at the flustered Jiude and couldn't help but expressed concern: "You look really ugly. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?! Otherwise, I'll let the members of the Magister Guild go back first and let them come back tomorrow." ? ”
"No!"
"No need."
"You go and let them in."
"I'm waiting for them in the reception room."
When Jiude heard this, he immediately waved his hand, indicating that the servant in front of him did not need to care about his state.
"As commanded."
Although the servant was a little suspicious, he still chose to follow Jiude's order and went down to do it.
"Leila..."
After the servant left the study, Jiude turned around and looked at Leila anxiously, with endless worry in his eyes. He was speaking, but he didn't know what to say...
< br>
Well, July 7th is approaching, but the key to the zodiac has not yet been found, and a mysterious person comes to their Heartfilia family's mansion. The lion opens his mouth and wants half of their family property, no matter what No matter how you look at it, this is a troubled time for the Heartfilia family.
"It's okay."
"Jiude, you have to believe me."
Leila's expression remained calm. She gently patted Jiude's forehead, held him in her arms, and comforted him.
Well, compared to Jiude, who is an ordinary person, Leila, as the most powerful star spirit mage in the entire Ishgar continent, has seen much more than Jiude...
When Jiude communicated with the mysterious black-robed man, she also used her own methods, the magician's methods, to communicate with the black-robed man...
Therefore, Layla knew a lot of news that Jiude didn't know.
For example, the man in black robe had no ill intentions towards them.
For another example, the man in black robes did not really intend to take half of the Heartfilia family's property.
For another example, after she promised the other party that she would go to a place called the Albares Empire and become one of the senior officials of that kingdom.
