"Wait, you mean?! You are even older than the old man?!"
Natsu suddenly thought of something. Warrod was a founding member of Fairy Tail, and Makarov was the third Guild master. That means Warrod is even older than Makarov.
Makarov's age is approaching ninety, so this joke-loving old gentleman's age must definitely be over 100.
Warrod said, "Hmm... I should be 110 years old this year."
"What?!!"
Several people were shocked to hear this.
Over 100 years old!
Takeshi was also a bit startled to hear this number. 100 years old is truly an incredible figure.
Of course, he had seen Zeref, who had lived for over 400 years, but that kind of guy can no longer be called human.
"Hehehe. It's just living a bit longer. While I can still move, I plan to do what I can to green the desert a bit and make the environment better."
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but feel admiration for Warrod. The world is never just black and white, there are also people who contribute silently like Warrod.
Warrod said, "By the way, I heard you mention Tartaros during the day, and I remembered some things. Tartaros is a very ancient Dark Guild that existed even before Fairy Tail was founded. They are a hair-raising guild. No one knows their true face, and the location of their headquarters and the number of members are also unknown. However, several people who once witnessed their gathering told us about them. Those people said that the gathering was worshipping demons."
"Although this is only a speculation by us, The Four Gods of Ishgar, they might possess powerful demons from the Books of Zeref."
"Demons from the Books of Zeref?!"
Lucy's face changed drastically. Demons from the Books of Zeref have brought countless disasters to the Ishgar continent, such as Deliora, who was frozen on Galuna Island.
If Tartaros were all composed of demons from the Books of Zeref, how terrifying would their strength be?
Moreover, they seemed to have already offended the other party.
What if the other party comes looking for them?
Takeshi said in a relaxed tone, "Alright, no need to worry about that. If Tartaros stays hidden, then fine. If they dare to come looking for trouble with Fairy Tail, I will make them disappear from this world."
The strength of the demons from the Books of Zeref is quite great, but it's just about the same level as an average member of the Ten Wizard Saints. This level is fundamentally nothing special. Zeref created them and then discarded them at will precisely because these guys were too weak.
However, although Takeshi looked down on these guys, for most people, Tartaros was still very dangerous. No regular guild could match them.
"Hmph! If I find them, I'll beat them until they puke." Natsu waved his fist.
For those guys who easily trample on other people's lives, he hated them most of all.
"Hehehe, then I'll wait and see." Warrod smiled.
He hadn't encountered Tartaros in all these years, and he hadn't even found them when he deliberately went looking. Not just him, but the other members of The Four Gods of Ishgar were the same.
After all, keeping such a dangerous guild around is not a good thing for the Ishgar continent.
But they all returned empty-handed. The other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding them and couldn't be found no matter what.
However, he had a premonition that these young people from Fairy Tail might encounter them. Fate always leads the way, just like this Sun Village freezing incident, which seems like a trigger.
—
Magic Council.
"Fairy Tail won the Grand Magic Games."
"The Tenrou Group just returned and immediately became like this. As expected, it's an attention-grabbing guild."
"Speaking of which, these guys have caused a lot of trouble again. Even after seven years, this guild is still so troublesome."
"But now we can't easily abolish Fairy Tail."
"Yes. After all, Fairy Tail now has two seats among the Ten Wizard Saints, especially the First Seat, Takeshi. This young man's strength is unfathomable. If pushed too hard, the resulting losses would be immeasurable."
Several Magic Council Members were having a meeting and unconsciously began to discuss Fairy Tail. At first, they only felt that Fairy Tail was a guild that liked to cause trouble, and even had the idea of disbanding Fairy Tail.
But now, they didn't dare to say it easily. Fairy Tail has two Wizard Saints, and Takeshi can even easily destroy a country. If Fairy Tail were forcibly disbanded and Takeshi were provoked into retaliating, the Magic Council might not be able to stop him.
Thump... Thump...
Gran Doma tapped the magic staff in his hand.
"Everyone, silence!"
"Today's agenda is about Tartaros."
"As everyone knows, over the past few days, seven Dark Guilds considered to be under the command of Tartaros have been wiped out. Although it has not yet been determined who did it, it is a good thing for us while also being very troubling."
Someone guessed, "If a regular guild did it, it might be for revenge."
"Could it be another good deed done by Fairy Tail?"
Some Council Members guessed that it was done by Fairy Tail. There is a precedent for this. In the Balam Alliance, Oración Seis and Grimoire Heart were both wiped out by Fairy Tail.
"Wanting to show off one's powerful strength is a normal psychological trait."
This guess was also agreed upon by several Council Members.
Org frowned and said, "It's not very good to link everything to Fairy Tail like this."
"Org is exceptionally partial to those fairies."
"No, in terms of possibility, it is also possible that Tartaros, as the leading guild, absorbed its subordinate guilds."
"And the reason for doing so?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's to strengthen military preparations, or maybe they want to discard grassroots personnel. There are many possibilities."
The other Council Members looked at each other and then all burst into laughter, making Org feel extremely embarrassed.
