Chapter 204 Layla: Don’t worry! It'll be fine!
"Ah, that..."
At the moment when Jiude was pushed away by Gramey and fell to the door, looking embarrassed and at a loss, Ian He scratched the ends of his hair and said softly: "Don't worry, I will pretend that I didn't see anything. "
"After all, it's so funny that the acting head of the Heartfilia family, who is famous in the Kingdom of Fiore, was pushed away by a maid..."< br>
Well, Ian usually doesn’t laugh unless he can’t help it.
"You didn't let me go either?!"
Jiude looked at Ian with a smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
At the same time.
Grame, who ignored Jiude, ran all the way and came directly to the room where Layla was located on the second floor of Heartfilia.
“You’re back?!”
When Grame pushed open the door to the bedroom where Leila was, she saw Leila, whom she had longed for, sitting by the bedroom window...
For a while, the scorching sun outside the window passed through the glass, making people sit on the bed. Leila beside her was covered with a layer of golden light.
At this moment, it’s like Leila herself is emitting bright light, eye-catching.
For a moment, Gramey looked at it with fascination. It was not until Layla spoke that she realized what she was doing. She rushed directly into Layla's arms and said excitedly: "Leila La, I’m back.”
“Just come back.”
Layla held Gramme in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness.
Jiude: "So love will disappear?! Leila."
Leila: "No! Love will not disappear, love will just transfer."
At that moment Leila and Grame, two beautiful young women, kept posting.
Ian used gravity magic to lift Jiude who fell to the ground and looked embarrassed.
"Is this magic?!"
Jiude knew that Ian used some special means to help him up from the ground, and he couldn't help but said in his heart: "Magic is really something It’s so convenient! No wonder those ancient big families have begun to cultivate unprecedented The magister troops who are loyal to themselves."
"Thank you."
Then Jiude expressed his gratitude to Ian and said softly: "Also, please forget about what you just said. Everything that happened."
"Don't worry."
Ian blinked at Jiude. He would definitely not say more. At most, he would tell Lucy and Brandish what happened today in the future.
Jiude: "So, until the end, you still refused to let me go!"
Just when Jiude was chatting with Ian, he heard the movement at the door. Finally, the magisters who were waiting in the reception room and were invited by Jiude immediately rushed out of the reception room. , ran towards Jiude and said anxiously: "Mr. Jiude, what happened?! Do you need our help?!"
"Mr. Jiude, are you okay?! "
"Who is Mr. Jiude? Is he your enemy?"
Well, the anxious expressions of these magisters are not fake. They are really worried about Jiude's safety. After all, Jiude is their rich man. Don’t look at Jiude’s face, but also look at the face of the 100 million.
“Misunderstood.”
“This is... an eternal friend of our Heartfilia family.”
“By the way, what I posted before, You can ignore the mission that asks you to go to the Western Continent of Alakidasia to find someone. The mission has been completed."
"Of course, I will still give you the deposit I promised you... ”
"Thank you again for your trust and help in our Heartfilia family."
After Jiude saw the people coming, he quickly stopped these people from planning to attack Ian.
Nonsense, Ian is a monster that can travel back and forth between the Western Continent and the Southern Continent in just a few dozen minutes. How strong is he? ! Jiude couldn't even imagine...
But when Jiude was about to introduce Ian to everyone, he suddenly discovered that he didn't even know what Ian's name was. ? !
In the end, Jiude could only call Ian a friend of the Heartfilia family.
"What did you say?!"
"The mission has been completed?!"
When the three magisters heard Jiude's words, they suddenly looked stunned. They couldn't believe it. There is really someone who can complete the mission of searching for people in Alakidasia, the continent of the West...
At the same time, the three demons The eldest among the mentors seemed to have noticed something. He took a deep look at Ian, who was standing behind Jiude, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the person in front of me has completed the mission of the Heartfilia family? ? ! This is really out of the ordinary.”
“It’s unbelievable...”
As for the three magisters...
Except for the boss among the three, the other two magisters were saying in great shock: "It turns out there really is Humans can travel between two continents in a very short time! Are they space magisters?”
“But in any case, this distance is really incredible. ! The whole continent is afraid. Only those monsters who are called the 'kings' of Ishgar by the Magic Council ERA can do it, right?"
"... "
Jiude saw all the expressions of these magisters in his eyes. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated Ian. It seems that Ian's operation, in the eyes of ordinary magisters, It is also incredible and can be called a 'miracle' level.
Next...
Jiude exchanged a few words with the three magisters, and paid the three people the deposit of 10 million J as agreed before, and watched the three people leave. manor.
As for these three magisters, who had received the deposit from Jiude as promised, they had no intention of making a fuss. They thanked them profusely and left.
In the eyes of these three magisters, it is already very rare that Jiude can still give them bounties as agreed.
In terms of character, Jiude is an outlier among the merchants active in the Ishgar continent.
Second floor.
In Layla's room.
“After counting the key to Aquarius, the star spirit of Aquarius, that you have in your hand, Gramme, I have basically collected all the keys to the twelve zodiac signs...”
Leila is sitting next to the window. On the table in front of her, there are ten keys neatly placed. The ten keys are divided into Yes, the Aquarius star Aquia, the Leo star Leo, the Sagittarius star Sachidarius, the Gemini star Jiminy, the Pisces star Biskes, the Libra star Lebra, and the Scorpio star The key to the star spirit Scorpio, the star spirit Bargo of Virgo, the star spirit Aries of Aries, and the star spirit Talos of Taurus.
As for the remaining two keys to the zodiac, the keys of Cancer Kesha and Capricorn Splily are in the possessions of Layla's two cronies, Zudir and Grandma Speight respectively. Looking at it this way, Leila has gathered all the keys in her hand. Basically, for Leila, it is safe to open the door of the solar eclipse on July 7th.
"Layla, I'm really sorry."
"I almost delayed the important events of our Heartfilia family because of me."
Grame at this moment Looking at Layla apologetically, her expression was full of worry.
"It's okay, aren't you back on time?!"
"Just believe me! Everything will be fine..."
Layla patted Gramey's head gently and said with a smile.
At the moment when Layla and Grame were cultivating their relationship, Ian seemed to remember something important and turned around, seemingly planning to leave the Heartfilia family's mansion. ...
“Are you leaving?!”
Jiude noticed Ian who was about to leave, raised his brows slightly, and asked in confusion.
"Yes." "Suddenly, I remembered..."
“I seem to have one more important thing that I haven’t finished yet.”
“If I don’t finish this thing, I’m still a little worried. On July 7th, Lei When La opens the door of the solar eclipse, unexpected accidents will happen..."
Ian looked at Jiude and replied.
“What did you say?!”
“Will there be any accidents?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Leila, hasn’t she already collected all the keys to the zodiac? ! "
Jiude's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this. He looked at Ian in disbelief and asked.
“Leila has indeed gathered all the keys to the zodiac.”
"But how to say it?!"
"Jiude, have you ever thought about one thing, maybe the zodiac has never only had twelve keys?!"
" What I am going to look for next is the thirteenth key to the zodiac.”
“After all, it is common sense that there are thirteen keys to the zodiac...”
After Ian finished speaking, he left the Heartfilia family's mansion without giving Jiude a chance to say anything.
Well, it seems that the five divine dragons that have been wreaking havoc on the northern continent Kirtina for many years actually have six in total! Counting the veteran Erefselia, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are seven.
There are also thirteen Celestial Spirit Keys for the twelve zodiac signs.
“Huh?!”
“There are thirteen keys to the zodiac, what kind of common sense is this?!”
After Ian left, Jiude He said cursingly.
However, Jiude didn't wait for Ian to leave, and shouted loudly: "Hey! You will be back before the 7th, right?! If you can't come back, where will we look for you?"
"No need to look for me..."
"I will take the initiative to look for you."
"Don't worry about me, leave this matter to me and there will be no problems~"
Ian didn't Turning around, he answered Jiude's question in a calm tone.
"Who cares about you?!"
"I care about my wife! After all, this is related to my wife's life and safety."
Jiude laughed angrily at Ian's words , he is not concerned about Ian's life safety, he is simply worried about the life safety of his wife Layla.
“I’ve said it all, don’t worry!”
“Everything will be fine.”
"After all, I came back to save people."
Ian replied nonchalantly.
“I don’t understand what you are saying at all?!”
As for Kudoku, he seemed to be possessed by Ichigo Kurosaki at the moment, looking at Ian who was walking away in confusion .
So...
The time came to July 6, X777.
“That guy still hasn’t come back yet?!”
Jiude sat in the office. He threw down the documents in his hands. There was indescribable sadness in his expression. He didn’t have any feeling at all today. Work in any mood...
Jiude’s mind was filled with the question of whether his wife, Leila, would be able to open the Solar Eclipse Gate on time at 00:00 on July 7th. .
Besides, what Jiude is most concerned about is, when can Ian come back? !
"There is no time to waste."
Looking at Leila, she was extremely cheerful. She looked at Jiude calmly and said: "Anyway, all the keys to the zodiac that were originally planned to be collected are already in place. Even without the thirteenth key, we can easily open it Eclipse Gate! So, Jiude, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
“Jiude, I will always follow Leila, don’t worry!”
Beside Layla, there are Gramey, Zudir and Granny Speight.
Well, because Grame, Zudir and Granny Speight really couldn’t let go of Layla, so the three of them planned to follow Layla to the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, which is Crocas, the flower capital.
After all, according to the ancestral handbook of the Heartfilia family in Layla's hand, the door of the eclipse they need to open is currently in the flower capital of Crocas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, and the royal palace is illuminated. In the basement of the palace.
In other words, if they want to open the Gate of Eclipse, the first thing they need to do is to successfully invade King Fiore's palace.
No matter how you look at it, is it too dangerous? !
After all, that is the palace where the king of Fiore Kingdom lives. There are countless guards inside, including countless strong ones. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most formidable place in Fiore Kingdom. Even for a 'Holy Ten' level expert, it will take some effort to sneak in, and success may not be possible.
Therefore, even though Layla is a genius in Celestial Magic, Gramme, Zudir and Grandma Speight still plan to accompany her...
Moreover, when Grame and Ian were on their way from the Western Continent of Arakidasia to Ishgar, Ian once blessed Grame: "The Eclipse Gate is not as simple as you think! I think so! It is possible that more than two Celestial Spirit Magisters may be needed to fully control that door.”
“It’s because of your presence that I don’t feel at ease.”
After Jiude took a deep look at Gramme, he complained in his heart.
Of course, Jiude knew that Leila had to go, so this time, he did not badmouth anything. Instead, he looked at Leila affectionately and said seriously: "Promise me that you must go. Come back safely."
"Don't worry! It will be fine..."
Layla smiled, with invincibility written all over her face. Jiude looked at the scene in front of him. He didn't know why, but an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
So...
The time came to July 6th, eleven o'clock in the evening.
Leila spent a lot of time and finally took Grame, Zudir and Granny Speight to the mysterious basement located under the Hua Lantern Palace.
Not even the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore knows about this basement.
After all, here lies the greatest secret of the Kingdom of Fiore, the legendary Eclipse Gate.
Originally it was very simple for Layla to enter here alone, but it was a pity that she brought three oil bottles.
"Hey! You are finally here~"
When the four of them entered this mysterious basement...
I saw that someone was already waiting here. They are.
Well, Ian was playing with the celestial spirit key of the thirteenth zodiac sign Ophiuchus, looking at the four people in front of him and saying hello softly.
