Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

If Kira knew what Heiberian was thinking, he would definitely not be able to help laughing out loud, and then praised him for his high vision with his thumb up.

On the chaotic hillside battlefield, bright magic circles lighted up and disappeared in front of the small body in the palm of the immature hand. At the same time, the shouts of the candidates rushed straight up sky.

The strong impact of color and sound made Kira's heart unavoidably turbulent.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice rang out: "I can't stand it anymore, retreat!"

After the sound, a small half of the people began to retreat in a certain direction.

"Oh~ I didn't expect them to even have a retreat plan in mind, it seems that there is a military adviser in this group of people..." Kira showed an interested expression on his face, "But it seems that some 'robbers' can't find their way. "

Kira noticed that several children were caught and taught a lesson because they ran in the wrong direction and lost the assistance of their teammates.

The first raid in the third test retreated very quickly, probably because it was just the first wave of temptation, but this method did work. Some people did grab the Philosopher's Stone, and then...

The companions around him became enemies, and the enemies in front of them became companions.

The situation of the enemy and the enemy changes instantly!

For these children with little social experience, it may be a bit demanding to rely on their small brains to deal with such changes, but no matter when, following the crowd and hiding in the crowd is the best defense.

Those children who succeeded were like wolves hiding in the husky team, temporarily avoiding the edge and waiting for an opportunity to move.

They were waiting, and when the bandits attacked next time, they would show their fangs and claws again, attack the prey they had already set their sights on, and grab another Sorcerer's Stone.

Those candidates who were robbed of the Sorcerer's Stone, because they had to hold their own Sorcerer's Stone to pass the examination, they chased and stalked the person who stole the Sorcerer's Stone, stood up again and again, and were knocked down again and again, until they could no longer climb up. until you get up.

When they realized that the man they were chasing didn't have his Philosopher's Stone in their hands, they started biting like mad dogs, hitting each other until they forced the man to reveal the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

"Poor child, when he saw that the man didn't have his own stone in his hand, he must have been devastated..."

Kira sighed in the cool wind blowing high in the sky, and expressed deep sympathy for the examinee who beat people like a mad dog.

Heiberian didn't say a word, his focus was not on the candidates, but in other places along the way, his scarlet eyes rolled like the eyes of a vampire, surveying the wind and grass on the ground in the sky, and did not let anyone who might be hurt A place where people from the Dark Guild appeared.

"It's been more than three hours since I came out of Harms City, and I haven't seen any suspicious people other than candidates and college teachers," Heiberian thought in his heart. Doing it to the students? If that's the case, you're really lucky!"

"Just like this, doesn't it mean that their main force is in the academy! Can Dean Kenas and Speaker Gulan support it?"

While his thoughts were racing, the candidates below had already reached the next unfavorable terrain, the river.

"According to the map I bought yesterday, as long as we cross this river, we will only have half the distance to the end!"

The leader turned around and said to the partners behind him, "This river is very wide and deep, everyone, be careful when crossing the bridge, those guys are probably lying in ambush around here, waiting for us Launch a surprise attack while crossing the river!"

There is no well-formed art of war in this world, even if there is, these children probably don't know it, so naturally they don't know what "strike it halfway through", but they must know which terrain is not good for them.

In front of him, a child asked: "You just said, where did you go?"

The team leader didn't know why he asked, so he repeated: "Ah bridge!"

The child pointed to the empty river behind him: "Where is the bridge?"

There is no bridge over this river, or, since yesterday, there has been no bridge here.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

People standing in front of the team could see the wooden stakes inserted at both ends of the river bank, with hemp ropes wrapped around them, and a few planks and sawdust floating on the river surface, which were apparently broken intentionally not long ago.

The leader grabbed the map bought in the town yesterday, and shouted at a loss: "Where is the bridge here?! What about a bridge that is so long and wide?!"

"It must have been done by those guys!"

"Damn!"

In this situation, if they or their companions don't have the magic to cross the river by themselves, they can only swim if they want to move on.

The clever person suggested: "Is there anyone here who knows ice magic? Freeze the river, can't we go together?"

At this time, another voice behind him retorted: "Are you an idiot? It's not winter now, and the ice formed by our level of magic alone will collapse if we walk together!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"Say what happened to you?"

"You bastard, do you want to fight?"

"Who's afraid of you?"

The two started arguing while talking, arguing and arguing and fighting, and arguing and fighting involved several people around them, and when they were tired and rested, they found... The Sorcerer's Stone is gone!

"No! My Philosopher's Stone is gone! Did you just steal it?!"

"Asshole, you stole my Philosopher's Stone! Give it back to me!"

Two angry shouts startled the people around, and they wiped away the stones where they hid them.

The person who touched the stone breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, my Philosopher's Stone is still there..."

But soon someone shouted again: "Ahhhhhh!! My Philosopher's Stone is gone too! How could it be?!"

At this moment, the others couldn't stand anymore. A group of people started to touch and fumble around in a mess. Many people started to quarrel with the people around them, and instead left the two who started the quarrel behind.

What they didn't know was that all this was seen by a boy with clever eyes.

"In my arms...in my sleeves...in my hat...in my bag...hehehe..."

In the air, on the flying carpet, Kira looked at him with interest. This boy Kira had seen before. It was the one who called Keras Obasan in the examination room yesterday. He just yelled that he had lost his Philosopher’s Stone. he.

"Is this to find out where other people hide the Philosopher's Stone? What will you do next?"

Soon, Kira knew the answer.

Only a small number of people lost the Philosopher's Stone, and more candidates' attention was still on crossing the river. They originally wanted to send a few people into the water to find out the ambush in the river, but no one wanted to take the lead, so they had to give up this plan in the end.

Then, all kinds of magic showed their abilities.

First, the magicians of the elemental system showed their magic, and built wooden bridges, stone bridges, and ice surfaces, which provided convenience for some companions who could not swim; the modeling magic was not inferior, and the roads they created were more stable; In addition, there are sideways such as gravity magic and space magic; of course, there are also some people who feel that they are good at water and swim directly.

Just when about one-third of the crowd managed to reach the opposite side, an ambush appeared.

There were about 300 candidates who were eliminated yesterday, and one-third of them appeared here. This group of little robbers surrounded the candidates who had just crossed the river, shouting loudly!

"Follow me brothers!"

"Grab!"

In the panic, the examinees failed to respond well. Facing the large number of robbers, some chose to flee, but they were quickly caught up and could only retreat and form a group.

People crossing the river shouted: "Hold on! When the others cross the river we will..."

At this time, a voice behind him interrupted his words: "It's not good! Behind... those people just caught up!"

At the beginning, there were about 50 people ambushing on the hillside. After the first attack, half of their members were lost, but the number of candidates was also reduced by more than 20 people. The battle situation was quite tragic.

Now they are making a comeback, attacking back and forth with the advantage of location.

The pursuers behind began to attack with magic, directly destroying the road on the river, causing the candidates who were crossing the river to fall into the river, and then beat the dogs in the water with magic. , can only be beaten passively.

"Hahaha, you are already surrounded! Obediently hand over the Philosopher's Stone!"

The examinee leader struggled desperately, wiped off his cold sweat, and provocatively said, "Hand it over? There are so many of you, how do you plan to divide it?"

Now less than half of them have crossed the river, and there is a clear gap in the number of candidates, so he can only delay.

"This..." The robbers glanced at each other warily, and said, "Don't worry about it! Of course we have a solution."

possible!

Seeing their eyes, the examinee leader was overjoyed, and continued: "Although you have a large number of people, there are also a lot of people on our side. If you really fight, you may not lose!"

Some candidates realized the team leader's strategy, so they cooperated to delay the time: "That's right, you are just yesterday's losers, a group of losers, how strong can they be even if they join forces? Why? You refuse to accept? Dare you fight me alone? Fighting alone? Just use my Philosopher's Stone as a bet!"

Among the crowd, Ika, Akas, Sangmaru, and Rufus remained silent, waiting patiently for the situation to change.

At this time, a voice sounded: "Not good! Boss! They are delaying time!"

"What?! Despicable brat, brothers, let's go!"

The delaying strategy failed, and the candidates rose up to resist: "Brothers, we can't let them bully us like this, let's fight!"

The art of war with the last stand came into effect again, the examinees were 50 against 100, but they were on par with this group of robbers, and the rest of the troops came across the river to participate in the battle, making the result of the second scuffle even more unpredictable .

During the battle between the two sides, a short figure who was watched by Kira kept shuttling through the crowd, bumping here, rubbing there, bumping to the left and bumping to the right.

Kira couldn't help sighing: "This kid is really capable, he probably stole their Philosopher's Stone all over..."

It's a talent!

"I got the 26th piece, next is you..."

The person he found this time was Ika!

Just when the thief in the examination room was about to bump into Ika, a hand quickly stretched out from the side, grabbed his collar, and then threw him out with force.

"I can pretend that you don't know about stealing other people's Philosopher's Stone, but if you find my friend, I can't ignore it!"

At the critical moment, Rufus made a bold move to protect Ika's Philosopher's Stone!

The boy shrank back: "You...what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

"I've been following you for a long time, are you using space magic?"

Rufus pressed the aristocratic hat on his head, and said softly, "Just now you deliberately caused a commotion to observe where other candidates hid the Philosopher's Stone, and then left while those people were attacking. I think, now you have taken A lot of people's Sorcerer's Stone, right?"

When the boy was told, his face was a little flustered, and he shouted hesitantly: "It's... not!"

Seeing Rufus's gradually cold eyes, the boy panicked, got up and ran away.

"What's wrong, Rufus?"

Sangmaru's voice came from behind, and Rufus turned his head and smiled softly: "No, it's nothing."

Kira showed a knowing smile in the air...

The battlefield was very chaotic, and none of the more than 100 candidates noticed that a traitor had emerged among them. This traitor was a thief, and by his own magic, he collected all the customs clearance certificates that they thought were hidden.

The battle by the river lasted for a long time, and it happened to be noon, the hottest and hungriest time of the day.

The candidates in the resurrection group took the attitude of waiting for work, and they fought without any worries. Anyway, they lost yesterday, and now they are winning if they grab it. In comparison, the candidates in the promotion group who just set off from Hams today They felt very uncomfortable, did not eat, and some had just crossed the river, and now they were weak all over, and they fought extremely hard.

Gradually, the examinee group began to decline. In the end, less than a quarter of the candidates were holding on, and the rest were beaten to the ground, resting their tongues halfway.
