Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

"Yes...is it..."

Lucy had an awkward smile on her face, but a question arose in her heart: Could it be that last year Harpy's mascot dolls didn't sell well?

For the next few days, the whole of 'Fairy Tail' fell into a peculiar state of affairs.Everyone raced around, looking for people to form a team everywhere, trying to get a good ranking in the competition. Among them, those with S-level leaders naturally became popular.

Unlike the mandatory participation of all members last year, this time the team competition is completely voluntary.However, under the temptation of "Villa" and "S-level assessment candidates", there are still a lot of people who signed up.

Under Kira's interference, words such as "recruiting people, only one output is missing" and "having an S-level leader, come to the tavern to be a good player" echoed in the tavern from time to time. I thought it was an adventurer's guild that formed a group to spawn monsters.

This phenomenon continued until the end of registration, that is, the day before the start of the competition.

Time goes back to the present...

"Welcome everyone to come and watch the 'Fairy Tail [-]nd Sorcerer Conference'. I am the president of 'Fairy Tail' and the host of this competition, Makarov Dolea."

Makarov was sitting on the stage, wearing a black suit and a red bow tie, with a festive look on his face, acting as the host of this session.

As his voice fell, the applause in the arena sounded like thunder.

"Just like last year, this year we also invited the mayor of this city to be our guest, everyone applauds and welcomes!!"

clap clap clap...

"at last!"

Makarov lowered his eyebrows, shouted heavily, and pointed to the last position on the stage, "The last guest of this competition, he is... one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar Volod Sinken!! A warm welcome again everyone!!!"

This last sound, Makarov almost roared, and everyone could hear the respect in his voice, but after this introduction, it was not applause, but overwhelming shock.

"Ehhh??!!!"

"He just said... the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Ten?!"

"Why did that legendary figure appear here?!"

"Is that the old tree-like old man at the guest table? He's actually the Four Heavenly Kings?!"

"It looks like an old man who has lived for a long time... How old is he?"

"This is the first time I've seen such a character! I heard that the 'Four Heavenly Kings' are all as strong as monsters. I wonder if it's true?"

Not only the audience, but even the mayor himself who was sitting on the stage just heard the news, he jumped up in fright, and looked at the old man sitting beside him tremblingly: "You, you... you really Is it the lord from the legend?"

Volod Sinken, whose specific age is unknown, only known to be over a hundred years old, is the oldest and oldest of the "Holy Ten Sorcerers" today.He is 190 tall, even sitting in the seat, he is much taller than the mayor.

Maybe it was influenced by magic, maybe it was because of his personality, he dyed his hair green, and his hairstyle was also arranged like a broccoli flower, with a slender face almost connected to the neck, and a light gray skin like ashes , the whole person looks like a very old tree.

At this time, Volod was looking at the excited Mayor Magnolia with a kind face, smiling like a gentle and kind grandfather next door.

"I'm not!"

"Eh?"

The mayor and all the audience, who originally thought they would hear "Yes, it's me", were stunned for a moment: "He denied it...?? Could it be that President Makarov made a mistake?"

Before they could react, Volod said with a smile again: "I'm joking!"

"Hey??!! So it's a lie?!" ×N

"So, are you really the legendary adult?"

"Hehehe... I am indeed Volod Sinken!"

Volod smiled easily and happily, neither putting on airs of identity, nor the posture of the legendary "monster".

After receiving an affirmative reply, the mayor directly took a deep breath: "Hiss... really... really shocking!! I heard that you have lived in seclusion, why did you agree to attend this competition?"

Volod showed a mysterious smile to the mayor. From his grinning mouth, it can be clearly seen that the centenarian's teeth are not very good.

"Ask me why I'm here? It's because..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of everyone on the field, and all the audience were also full of curiosity, staring at the old man on the stage intently, hoping to hear some explosive news from him.

"because??"

"Because...they gave money."

"Huh?!?!!?"×N

Chapter 440 The adult's appearance fee turned out to be...

"Give... the money?"

Hearing this money-filled answer, all the audience, even the mayor himself, were stunned.

right?Shouldn't this be the answer that the Four Heavenly Kings of the 'Holy Ten' should say?At least it should be something like "I like the guild 'Fairy Tail' very much", or "I like a certain mage very much", right?Even if you say "someone in this guild is my apprentice", we can still accept it! What kind of reason is "they gave money"? ! !

Everyone looked at the constipated Makarov on the stage, waiting for him to give an explanation, or a word that could smooth things over.

But before Makarov could say what he should have said, Volod spoke again: "Ah! That sentence just now was a joke! In fact, they didn't give me a penny!"

Nani? ! ? !

Originally saying "they gave me money" was enough to make people feel shocked, but now saying "they didn't give me a penny" is directly shocking to the point of breaking through the sky! !

The mayor was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He turned his head tremblingly, and asked in a low voice: "Ma... Makarovsan, what's going on? Could it be that you didn't pay Mr. Volod an appearance fee? "

This matter is very serious! !The majestic Four Heavenly Kings honored you by attending your guild's competition, but you didn't even pay an appearance fee? !In case the other party participates in a book in the council, do you still want to deal with "Fairy Tail" in the future?

Besides, he is still a hundred-year-old retired old man, aren't you bullying honest people? !

Could it be that the members of this guild really drifted to such a point that they felt that they were Fiore's number one magic guild, and that they didn't even care about the Four Heavenly Kings?With such an attitude and method of doing things, how did the old man Makarov get into the position of the third generation president of 'Fairy Tail'?Is it purely based on qualifications?

At this time, the mayor felt that his heart had been hit thousands of times in just a few seconds, and each blow was like a hundred elephants "duai~duai~duai~" stepping on the past horrible.

At this moment, how much the mayor hopes to hear Makarov's denial answer, saying that he actually paid the other party's appearance fee, and then Volod next to him will say "that sentence just now is also a joke", so that At first, although I was deceived and frightened, at least everyone is happy.

pity……

"The old man did not give any money!" Makarov blinked, his face full of innocence.

puff--! !

The mayor spurted a mouthful of seven-foot old blood in his heart, and continued to ask: "Ahem... I see, since no money was given, it must have been given other things, right? For example, precious magic books or something ..."

"No! Lord Volod attended this time out of friendship...but I heard that Kira gave him two packs of tea."

thump!

Looking at the mayor who suddenly lay on the stage with a face ashen and lifeless, Makarov shook curiously: "Mayor, why did you suddenly become like this? Did you not sleep well last night?"

The mayor roared wildly in his heart: Why did I suddenly become like this, do you have no idea? ! !It's not because of you... wait!The old man Makarov just said that Mr. Volod is attending this time in friendship? ?Friendship attendance... Could it be that they had an intersection before?Yes, they are all old-fashioned 'Holy Ten', and it is quite normal to have an intersection!

Thinking of this, the mayor suddenly regained his spirits, turned up from his seat with a "Zeng", turned around and looked at Volod, his eyes sparkled: "Master Volod, could it be possible that you were with 'Fairy Tail' before?" 'Has there ever been an intersection?"

"Yes! I used to be a member of 'Fairy Tail' too!"

Volod froze for a moment, then admitted with a smile.His voice was very flat, but what he said was like a thunderbolt, directly blowing up the arena.

"Ehhhhh???!!! You...was also a member of 'Fairy Tail'?!"

The mayor searched his memory and said puzzledly: "I have been in this city for decades, but I have never seen you! You said that you used to be a member of 'Fairy Tail'. How long ago did you say that you were a member of Fairy Tail? Is something wrong?"

The mayor waited with bated breath for Volod's answer.

The other party was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "That sentence was a joke!"

"Are you joking again?!"

"It's a joke to say 'just kidding'!"

puff--! !

Isn't this old man tired of talking like this? !Sure enough, he is from 'Fairy Tail'!Only people from this guild have this character! !

Seeing that the mayor was about to feel ill, Volod chuckled, opened the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the guild crest that belonged to 'Fairy Tail' engraved on it, and said solemnly: " This old man is one of the first-generation members who founded 'Fairy Tail' with Mavis, that is, the old man of this guild!!"

With the guild crest as evidence, everyone affirmed what the other party said.

But even so, they were too shocked by the news to speak, especially the members of 'Fairy Tail' in the audience, they all stared blankly at the old man on the guest seat, and they were all dumbfounded, their eyes rolled. It's almost falling down.

"Is the founder of our guild all accomplished so much?"

"A president of 'Devil's Heart', a 'Holy Ten' Four Heavenly Kings, a 'Fairy Military Division', and then? Is there any more legendary figure? There won't be someone in the royal family, right?"

"I remember that there is another one who is the president's father."

"The president's father...is he a powerful person?"

"I haven't heard of that."

"Eh, is it? Is it true that 'there must be an unknown in the team'?"

Naturally, these arrangements of Yuri did not reach the ears of Makarov or Volod. At this time, they were each explaining to the audience the origin of the two parties and the reason why he appeared here in the form of a dialogue.

"Little Kira suddenly visited my residence a few days ago and said that I must let the old man see the changes in the guild. Originally, the old man didn't want to come, but his attitude was very enthusiastic, and the old man couldn't refuse at all, so he came."

"Nani?! Is it that simple?!"

The mayor couldn't believe it. In his opinion, this kind of reason alone is not enough to invite the retired Four Heavenly Kings. He couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "That Kira...wouldn't be able to use anything." Special means, right? '

"Yeah, it's that simple! By the way, little Kira brought me a few potted plants that were growing well and two packs of delicious tea, so strictly speaking, it's not like there's no appearance fee..."

This appearance fee is basically equivalent to nothing! !

"Come here now and see that 'Fairy Tail' is developing very well! The spirit of Mavis is continuing well, Makarov manages the guild very well, and the new generation of the guild is also very dynamic , the old man is very pleased."

'It has become the number one magic guild in Fiore, can you not feel relieved? '

The mayor complained wildly in his heart, but he fully understood the reason why the other party agreed to attend, "Speaking of which, I heard that this guild has existed for 99 years as of this year!"Thinking about it this way, it's normal for someone like Lord Volod to come and take a look at this time...'

After briefly introducing Volod and his relationship with Fairy Tail, the topic of the contest returned to Makarov.

The old man rearranged his clothes and resumed his original tone. Using the microphone in his hand, he introduced the rules of the competition to the tourists in the auditorium who did not know the rules of the competition.

"This competition adopts a three-person team survival elimination system. Three mages in each team will fight in a melee on the field opened up with magic technology. The team that survives to the end will be awarded the title of 'Fairy Tail First Team'." A trophy, a bonus of 50 J, and a [-]-meter three-story villa located in the central street!!"
