The Black Magic Cult had already undertaken eight such projects?
Hiss—
Just thinking about it made Ultear feel numb.
Bluenote let out a scoff, showing a rare expression of sarcasm:
"Although these people from the Black Magic Cult aren't very strong."
"But they have a knack for brainwashing."
"Using the R System's ability to resurrect the dead as a pretext, they've deceived countless commoners and nobles."
"Who knows how many people across the entire Continent are their believers."
"Even some members of royal families in certain countries you see might be believers of the Black Magic Cult."
"Given that, do you think they still lack money?"
Ultear was speechless:
"They just gave it willingly?"
Bluenote opened his mouth and said:
"Refuse to give?"
"That's the business of the Black Magic Cult's believers, and it will inadvertently be exposed."
"Commoners dying is just them dying, but how could those nobles bear to lose their status and position?"
"This is the reason they can afford to build so many R Systems."
"Although their strength is poor, these rats hide too well."
"Even we have no way to find their hiding place."
"Otherwise, we would just control them directly."
"Why would we need to go through so much trouble?"
"The weak have no right to speak."
Ultear nodded, completely not expecting the Black Magic Cult to be this kind of existence.
Being able to support the construction of eight Towers of Paradise, one could imagine how many cultists the Black Magic Cult had and how much money they provided. However, she only sighed about it.
With Bluenote and her Magic, controlling this place wasn't difficult.
And it was already chosen.
Ishgar Continent, East.
A sky battleship bearing the flag of the Devil's Heart Guild floated above a forest.
On the ship, Hades was listening to the report from his subordinate Azuma:
"Lord Hades."
"It has been confirmed that the woman named Ur indeed has a way to track Ultear."
"She suddenly turned West not long ago."
"It seems she wanted to intercept Ultear, but her speed wasn't as fast as Vice Guild Master Bluenote."
"She didn't intercept Vice Guild Master Bluenote and Ultear."
"Now she is heading West all the way."
"It looks like she's going to chase them out to sea."
A cold light flashed in Hades' eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Then let her stay on the Continent."
"Head West immediately."
"I will personally take action to resolve this trouble."
Azuma was startled and looked up at Hades.
The Guild Master hadn't taken action in many years. Thinking of this, Azuma quickly said:
"Yes."
He then went down to instruct those controlling the sky battleship to head West.
Magnolia Town.
Inside the forest cabin to the East.
Makarov was somewhat anxiously pacing back and forth outside. Porlyusica was so annoyed that she simply sat on a tree stump, closing her eyes to rest.
Inside the cabin, Gar was implanting a magic crystal for Laxus.
Although Makarov believed there would be no problem, since Porlyusica was sitting there steadily and wouldn't ignore it if something happened to Laxus, the waiting process was agonizing.
As for the other members of the Guild, knowing that Porlyusica disliked humans, they waited outside the forest.
Gildarts sat on the ground, bored, resting his chin and looking around:
"Speaking of which...."
"Why isn't that guy Ivan here?"
"Laxus is his own son, doesn't he care at all?"
"Didn't he come out with us?"
The people around were also confused, not knowing Ivan's whereabouts. Just then, someone remembered:
"Mr. Ivan seemed to say midway that he forgot something."
"And went back to the Guild to look for it."
At this moment.
A powerful lightning-attribute Magic suddenly erupted within the forest, shooting straight into the sky.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild.
Taking advantage of everyone being absent, Ivan, who was searching for Lumen Histoire, sensed something and looked up towards the East, also seeing the yellow lightning bolt shooting into the sky.
"Did he succeed...."
He then snapped back to reality, his eyes completely firm, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He stood there, contemplating his father Makarov's character.
Lumen Histoire....
Where could it possibly be hidden?
