Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash - Chapter 408
The destruction of the Council Headquarters was a major event that shocked the entire magic world, so the presidents of the guilds attached great importance to this meeting, and the participants were more complete than in previous meetings.
Compared with the well-known large guilds, the small and medium-sized guilds seemed more active.
Being small meant that they had a weaker ability to resist risks, and they urgently hoped that the Guild Alliance could bring them some sense of security.
Rhodes and Makarov had traveled a long way, and when they arrived at the venue it was already afternoon, and almost all the presidents had arrived.
The situation was serious, so today they skipped the greetings and lunch, and everyone went to the meeting room as soon as they arrived.
Makarov was serious for once, and he took the position of the meeting host.
Rhodes thoughtfully handed a chair to his own president, and then retreated to a corner in a low-key manner to reduce his presence.
It was just that the scene of Rhodes and his companions beating up Larabai last time was too shocking, and many people’s eyes still unconsciously drifted to him.
Makarov was smaller, but he stood on the chair and cleared his throat, which was quite impressive. He successfully attracted the attention of the presidents.
“I believe you have all heard about the ERA (Council Headquarters). We just happened to have a clue about the culprit.”
Facing the inquiring eyes of the presidents, Makarov waved his hand: “Rod, you tell me.”
Although he had heard the children’s story, Makarov felt that what he said was definitely not as accurate as the witnesses.
“…” Just tell it. It was not the first time he spoke in front of so many presidents. Rod was not afraid and spoke clearly about the Paradise Tower.
“Let’s talk about the main point first. We suspected that there was a traitor in the Council before, but we have never found out. That person is one of the councilors, Zikrein.”
There was an uproar in the meeting room. They never thought that a councilor could be a spy.
Naturally, some people couldn’t believe it and asked Rod how he knew it.
Rod briefly summarized the Paradise Tower, of course omitting some detailed information.
Including the matter of summoning the mountain dragon, and the matter of Erza’s companions.
“In short, Jellal’s biggest purpose of sneaking into the Council is to obtain enough magic power to activate the R system and find someone who can be used as a living sacrifice.
Maybe he has a lot of connections with the Dark Guild and the Black Magic Cult, but there is no way to verify it.
In addition, I heard that there is a councilor named Ultear who is very close to him. Maybe there is also a problem. This can only be clarified after asking other councilors.”
Goodman asked: “What about Jellal?”
“I don’t know. He fell into the sea after being seriously injured by us. Because of the influence of the magic spirit power, the wind and waves were too strong last night. I don’t know his current whereabouts.”
The conference room was quiet.
R system, Zeref, and magic spirit power, what Rhode just said is really a lot of information.
And many people slowly came to their senses.
Something is wrong. That Zekrein, no, Jellal, in addition to his identity as a councilor, seems to be one of the Ten Holy Wizards, right?
So, several young men from Fairy Tail killed a Saint Ten when Makarov failed to arrive?
Many people looked at Makarov with different eyes. They knew that you were the number one guild in Fiore, but your strength was too exaggerated.
Even if we don’t mention Jellal, you still have the record of destroying the notorious killer team of Three Crows.
If it were an ordinary small guild that encountered Three Crows, I’m afraid even the president would be killed.
Where did Makarov find so many outstanding young people?
Rhodes was also looked at with many admiring or respectful eyes, and was probably regarded as the commander of this battle.
But he just felt it was a pity, because ERA stopped operating, and he couldn’t get the reward for destroying Three Crows.
Even if they waited for the reorganization to be completed, they might not recognize him as a new emperor.
Rhodes suffered heavy losses.
Makarov wanted to laugh out loud, but unfortunately this was a meeting, not a banquet, and it was not the time for him to show off, so he had to get down to business.
“Anyway, the ERA incident is closely related to that person. We will notify the southern guild alliance later to pay more attention to Jellal’s whereabouts. Everyone should pay more attention.”
There are more local guild alliances than just theirs, and even more than the Kingdom of Fiore.
I believe that after the news spreads in the past two days, other alliances will also hold meetings like this, and everyone will naturally communicate with each other.
“Then let’s officially move on to today’s topic. What kind of impact will the temporary inability of ERA have on us and even the magic world?”
Although Makarov is usually unfocused, he is still quite reliable when he is serious.
He listed the troubles that may be encountered next.
For example, the dark guilds will definitely be greatly encouraged, and their subsequent activities may become more rampant.
For example, some cases of criminal activities using magic may increase.
For example, the branches of the Council of States in various countries are in a state of disarray, which is not conducive to the normal operation of ERA after the reorganization.
In more serious cases, they might even be attacked by criminals.
After analyzing them one by one, Rhode found that the people most affected by the collapse of the Council would probably be the lives of ordinary people.
Of course, some regular guilds would probably also be attacked by dark guilds.
——They always thought that they couldn’t get decent commissions because the regular guilds excluded them and that the world was unfair.
The presidents discussed a series of countermeasures, such as increasing the contact between guilds, helping each other, etc.
The most important one should be to increase the intensity of the crackdown on the dark guilds and never let them take advantage of the fire.
Rhode felt that he would probably be assigned a lot of crusades this time, because this matter involved the stability of their entire region, and each guild would either pay money as a reward or send people to take the task.
And their guild had just been built and spent a lot of money, so it was estimated that they could only be responsible for sending people.
After an afternoon, the presidents discussed many details and still felt that they were not satisfied.
However, it was getting late, so they had to adjourn the meeting temporarily, sort out their thoughts after dinner, and continue the discussion tomorrow.
At the dinner, many people came to toast Makarov and praised Rhode. They really envied Makarov.
After three rounds of drinks, the usual familiar people finally gathered in twos and threes to drink and chat.
Rhode had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was immediately praised by Goldman and President Bob.
“Come to think of it, a few days ago, many cute boys from Fairy Tail came to our guild to play~, why didn’t Rhode come?” President Bob held his chin and threw a wink at Rhode.
Goosebumps appeared on his skin, and Rhode said with some embarrassment: “Well… You know we are very busy recently, and the president likes to throw things to us.”
In front of others, he may need to maintain the president’s face, but in front of these two, it doesn’t matter if he complains.
Makarov was too lazy to refute.
“That’s a pity.” Bob touched the pocket of his pants and took out a few tickets and stuffed them into Rhode’s hands,
“This is our bar invitation ticket, bring your friends to play when you have time~”
“Thank… Thank you?”
It was just a few ordinary small pieces of paper, but Rhode actually felt a little hot.
I’m a serious person!
