Chapter 172 The old tricks the little ones
In the guild, Kira was so surprised when she heard Marklov's words that she almost dropped her mouth. She didn't expect that the old man had this trick: "Then... Laxus agreed just like that?"
"Of course!" Marklov took a sip of wine, "In order to look cool in front of you, he will go even if he knows it's a trick. I can't stop him."
What is manipulation? What is lobbying? Is this the eloquence of the president, an old man... an old speaker?
"High! So high!" Kira tied her thumbs and praised again and again, "I used to think that President, you would only say some lofty words, but I didn't expect that you are so good at playing dirty tricks..."
Marklov was a little unhappy: "What are you talking about? I just live longer, read more books and meet more people!"
"Yes, yes..."
Kira hurriedly smiled and poured wine for the old man. He did not dare to refute. This was a person who could really threaten him as "Fairy Tail's strongest drama queen". He had to be more respectful, otherwise he would not know he was being tricked in the future.
"So that dark guild is..."
"He is one of the Iron Triangle of Balam Alliance, the Six Demon Generals!"
really!
Kira was not surprised. He remembered that the Six Demons Chapter happened after the Civil War Chapter. If you think about it carefully, it was almost the same time.
"The Six Demon Generals, their strength is not simple. I remember that the council said before that several guilds should form an alliance to carry out a crusade, right?"
Marklov's face did not change and he said, "Yes, before the official attack, we must first collect necessary intelligence. In addition, the Six Demon Generals also have many subordinate guilds. Although there are no powerful characters, there are many people. If
It will be very troublesome if you ignore it.”
"Then Laxus's mission is to deal with these guilds?"
This is the only possibility that Kira can think of. After all, Laxus cannot be expected to do the intelligence collection work; among the several guilds that form the alliance, there is a more suitable person to do this kind of thing, and that is Hibiki from the cyan Pegasus.
Doing this is professional.
"That's right! Elaxus's ones are more than enough to deal with the subordinate guilds. Even if they meet the Six Demon Generals, it won't be a problem to leave."
That's true. The Six Demons' abilities are not buggy. As long as Laxus performs normally, he can defeat them.
Listening to the noise from the guild in the distance, Kira said to Marklov: "Speaking of which, the alliance mentioned at that time also included the rulers of the ghosts. Now that the ghosts are gone, how about Gajeel?
On top of Juvia?"
When Marklov heard this, he was a little moved. He thought for a while and said: "We don't know the whereabouts of the Six Demon Generals yet. It's a little early to decide who to send to join the alliance team, but we can make preparations first."
"My idea is that there are not many people who are skilled in the crusade. It is best to send a team with high mutual understanding and strong average strength. Laxus and the Thunder Gods are one option; Erza, Natsu, Gray
, Lucy is a choice; then there is you..."
With that said, Marklov picked up the wine glass and started drinking. Kira sat opposite him and waited quietly for a long time before he continued to speak.
"Me? What's behind? Who am I and you? Who knows!"
Why does this old man only half-speak? This was not the case before!
It wasn't until Kira felt uncomfortable that Marklov said leisurely: "To be honest, according to my observation, you seem to be able to match well with anyone, and you seem to be unable to match with anyone, so if it's you
If so, you can choose your teammates, and you can take whomever you want with you. Of course, you can go alone if you want."
When Kira heard this, he thought, good guy, you treat me like a brick? Where do you need to move it?
"I think it would be good to send Erza's team..."
"I won't force you if you don't want to," Marklov raised his head and glanced at Kira, "Anyway, Laxus has already set off to defeat the Six Demons' subordinate forces, and Erza and the others are always on call.
When they defeat the Six Demon Generals, blame me for not giving you a chance to shine."
Kira chuckled: "Okay, President, I'm not Laxus. This kind of provoking method is useless to me."
Seeing that Kira failed to hit the target, Marklov secretly thought it was a pity.
"Speaking of which, if you tell me this now, it doesn't matter if Laxus knows it by then?"
"It's okay, I'm very confident in your acting skills!" Marklov said confidently.
This kind of attitude made Kira a little unsure for a moment. She didn't know whether the old man really trusted her and thought she would cooperate with him and favor Laxus, or whether he just wanted to play tricks on Laxus and watch the show.
"You are so scheming and cunning..."
Knowing that Laxus was not sneaking around behind her, Kira felt relieved and went back downstairs to the crowd. As she walked over, she saw Erza beating Natsu.
"Even if you make it to the top eight, don't think you're that good, remember!"
At this time, Erza was exuding a cold air. She didn't have a sword in her hand, but she was full of sword intent. She grabbed Natsu's collar with both hands and shouted coldly.
Natsu's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't speak clearly. He just said feebly and vaguely: "Remember...remember! I'm sorry!"
"Hmph!" Erza walked back to the bar angrily and took a sip of juice.
Natsu was thrown to the ground. Beside him were Happy and Gajeel who had fainted.
The few people around who saw this scene were all trembling and dared not speak. They just communicated with each other with their eyes: "It seems that losing the game today made her very angry..."
At this moment, Erza suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and the few people who had just spoken to each other with their eyes immediately lowered their heads and pretended to drink.
"Is it an illusion?" Erza turned back and murmured to herself, "I always felt like someone was looking at me with ill intentions just now..."
Feeling that the murderous aura had faded, the people took their faces out of the wine glasses, took a sip of wine to calm down their shock, and said, "It was so close, so close, I was almost discovered..."
"That's right. If you were seen, you might be beaten to death..."
"Hey, Erza turned around, why are you still lowering your head?"
"I just twisted my neck..."
"..."
Kira walked to the crowd and sat down, glanced at Kana who was holding a barrel and drinking hard, and said: "I thought you would sleep until tomorrow, and now you wake up?"
Kana was still as drunk as usual, but she had a few useless bandages on her body: "What do you know? Wine is the best medicine!"
"That's right. This kind of injury can be recovered by just sleeping..."
Next to them, Gray and Rocky, who were half drunk, drank another drink. On the table in front of them, there were more than a dozen wine barrels piled up in random directions. Looking at this posture, they planned to drink until dawn.
"Don't you have a game tomorrow? Does it matter if you drink like this?"
The two looked at each other and thought about it for two seconds before realizing: "Game? Yes, we have a game tomorrow!"
"But there is a high probability that you can't win... Just do your best for this kind of thing, drink!"
In tomorrow's semi-finals, Gray's opponent is Kira, and Rocky's opponent is Mira. From the looks of it, the two of them are planning to fight it out.
This attitude gave Kira a feeling of powerlessness as if she were beaten on cotton.
No! As a representative of the younger generation of the guild, I cannot watch my companions fall into such a corrupt lifestyle! Nor will I allow them to say such unambitious words!
"You two, wake up! Don't be so pessimistic. Don't let alcohol erode your fighting spirit. Maybe if you work hard, there will be a chance?"
Kira snatched the wine glasses from their hands, held their shoulders and shook them back and forth, taking the opportunity to slap them dozens of times on the face with her hands. She wished she had two more hands!
Well, it feels quite good to be slapped in the face...
Unfortunately, even so, the two of them still didn't respond, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
"Forget it, there is no hope, just wait to die!"
Kira felt a little bored and threw the two of them away, then turned to drink with Kana...
Three minutes later...
"I said Kira, does it matter if you drink like this? Isn't there a competition tomorrow?"
Seeing the worried look on Kana's face, Kira said with drunken eyes and nonchalantly: "Game? What game? My opponent has fallen, so what should I be afraid of? Drink!"
Chapter completed!
