Chapter 292: The Undercurrent
A month ago, Gerald's understanding and application of "Boss Painting Pie" was only at the preliminary stage.
At that time, he thought he had done well enough in the Tower of Paradise, but after reading Kira's masterpiece, he realized how ridiculous his previous behavior was.
Is it enough to just give your employees enough food, drink, clothing, and sleep?
No!
This way you can't raise strong enough subordinates at all!
If an employee does not have lofty goals and cannot taste the benefits, he will not be able to increase his work enthusiasm and improve work efficiency!
Although they also taught magic to Axiang, Simon, Miliana, and Warri, with their crude moves, it would still take a lot of effort to deal with the inferior soldiers, let alone face real enemies.
Magician?
It’s hard to become a great tool!
If they weren't too weak, I wouldn't have hired Three Feathered Crows at that time!
In comparison, look at the 'Devil's Heart', what is the high-level combat power under its command?
Each one of them is a magician who can stand alone! They still use lost magic! How about they be able to support the dark magic world for half a century?
It’s because of this generosity!
The Hades family has a big business, and the treatment they give to their employees is beyond comparison with mine. Even the pie they draw... Oh, no, even the goal blueprint they plan for their subordinates is much loftier than mine!
My own goal: use the Tower of Paradise, sacrifice Erza, and resurrect Zeref;
Hades' goal: to awaken Zeref's soul, glimpse into the abyss of magic, the world has entered a new era, the great magic world is coming, and those who do not know magic are to be eliminated...
One after another, none of it can be done by oneself!
It is true that there are suppressions such as knowledge, experience, age, etc., but after joining the 'Devil's Heart' for nearly a month, Jellal had to admit that Hades does have great talents and strategies! That talent and talent
, I can’t compare with you!
It's a pity that just like him, he is also taking the wrong path!
"hehe……"
The harsh sarcasm made Hades slightly unhappy. He frowned and looked at Jellal majestically: "You seem to be disdainful of what I said?"
"I just think that your current situation is very similar to mine! We are both believers in pursuing Zeref, we also want to change the world, and we even have the same eye on Fairy Tail!"
Jellal's voice slowly came from under the hood, "I failed in the end and lost to Fairy Tail. What will be your result? I'm looking forward to it!"
Urrutia once again spoke provocatively and sarcastically: "A person who has been deceived for 8 years, can't even tell the truth from the false, and has never even been close to the abyss of the devil, does he have the nerve to compare himself to President Hades?"
After separated from Kira, Urrutia took Jellal back to the guild and introduced him to Hades to supplement the members of the "Seven Volumes" without going too smoothly.
So I found an excuse.
While Urrutia was avoiding the pursuit of Demisol Academy, he ran into Jellal, who was being hunted by the Senate due to the 'Nirvana' incident. The two had no choice but to join forces to fight against the enemy and find a way out. And because Jellal had nowhere to go
He didn't want to give up his pursuit of Zeref, so Urrutia led him into the 'Devil's Heart'.
This is the story told by the two people, and then they started to perform it in front of everyone: due to the past 8 years of use, the two people were at odds with each other. Jellal had a lot of resentment towards Urrutia in his heart, so the two
People often fight each other.
Gerald is indeed a rare genius. Even if he may not be as good as Brunotte, he is at least a "Holy Ten"!
So even though he joined halfway, never learned the lost magic, and even had a record of "the enemy team was destroyed after joining the Six Demons", Hades still took him under his wing.
However, after agreeing, the first thing Hades did was to hit Jellal's unruly nature with his fist.
This is one of the "lessons I learned before" that Urrutia said before.
"I just doubt the feasibility of that plan. After all, the last person who claimed to be dealing with 'Zerf's Soul' is standing in front of you!"
In order to put on a good show and lower Hades's vigilance, Jellal also tried his best and kept using his own experience of being deceived.
"I'm different from you. You just blindly obeyed a dead soul who doesn't know the truth or falsehood! But I have seen the abyss of the devil with my own eyes!"
Hades said calmly, "With this eye, I witnessed with my own eyes the fact that Zeref is still alive, and even Urrudia cannot defeat him!"
"Then there is no other possibility except that 'Zerf is asleep'!"
'It seems that he was also miserably deceived!' Gerald thought to himself, 'Sure enough, people will believe what they see with their own eyes...'
"How are you sure the person you saw is Zeref?"
"I met Zeref many years ago, and when I saw the future with this eye, his appearance has not changed at all!"
Jellal suddenly realized: "So that's it..."
'No wonder I was deceived so miserably!'
Hades didn't notice Jellal's look, but just lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "Isn't it interesting to use a hunting feast of demons and goblins as a prelude to awakening Zeref?"
"Are you going to go to war with Fairy Tail? They can't take it lightly!"
Hades showed disdain: "They don't understand what real darkness is, the absolute darkness buried in the abyss!"
"After all that, where is Zeref?" Jellal asked aloud.
"It's in the holy land of 'Fairy Tail', Tenrou Island!"
…
Tianlang Island.
This is a small island located in the southern sea. It can be reached by boat from Harugion Port in less than half a day.
The most conspicuous thing on the island is undoubtedly the towering giant tree that has grown for an unknown period of time, called the Sirius Tree. It has the function of absorbing the energy of the earth and condensing magic power. It can be said to be a symbol of the vitality of the island.
And more than a hundred years ago, through the joint research of Mavis and Precito, the Sirius tree gained another function, magic blessing!
It can protect the magicians who are engraved with the "Fairy Tail" guild crest and greatly increase the magic power in their bodies. As long as the Sirius tree does not fall, guild members will not lose their lives on this island.
But magic has pros and cons along the way. Once Tenrou Island is destroyed, the magic power in the bodies of all Fairy Tail wizards on the island will be quickly lost.
"What an amazing magic!"
Kira set foot on the land of Tenrou Island and carefully felt the changes in the magic power in her body.
The magic power in his body is very huge, even more than that of Marklov and Gildas. Logically speaking, it should be more difficult to detect the increase in magic power, but when he actually came to Tianrou Island, his keen perception was fierce. Slapped in the face.
As soon as the magic power in the body fluctuates, Kira can react immediately. This feeling is simply more sensitive than being hit on the toes or numbing the nerves in the elbow.
After a long time, Kira opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and said to himself: "It has almost increased by one-tenth. I don't know whether it is based on the percentage of magic power or a fixed increase..."
He turned around and looked at the other people traveling with him, and asked, "Do you have any obvious feelings?"
Behind Kira, Gildas, Laxus, Erza, and Mira were standing there. The five of them were the examiners of the first level of this assessment. They came first to stop the eight examiners.
here.
"No! Who cares about that kind of thing!"
Obviously, except for Kira, who has an extraordinary sense of magic power, the rest of them do not have this talent. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for them to detect physical changes with a lot of magic power.
On the other hand, unless they encounter a life-and-death battle, they are not the kind of people who care about their own magic power. In their hearts, "as long as they have the magic power to protect their companions, it is enough"!
Kira sighed: "There are still three days before the exam. If you let us come so early, do you want us to build a camp here first? Really..."
After saying that, he suddenly changed his tone and said like a tour guide: "It's a rare opportunity for us to come here, why don't we all go around the island separately first and meet up later?"
