Having been in business for several years, Kira has a natural vision and recognized the functions of these magic crystals here at a glance: during the day, the light in the cave relies on ice crystals to refract the sunlight outside the world, and at the same time, part of the energy is stored in the magic crystals; At night, or when there is insufficient light, the magic crystals inlaid on the stone walls will automatically glow.
Even if there is an occasional lack of energy, countless mirror-like crystals can make up for this shortcoming.
Although such an idea is not surprising, it is a huge project to implement it. It not only requires precise and accurate calculations, but also the hands-on ability to realize the project. If you have a lot of money, the magic crystals on the wall alone can cost Fiore Kingdom's fiscal revenue for one or two years.
Kira was dazzled by the cool scene: "How much is this worth? It must have been built by an unknown rich man!"
"This place is destined for me!"
"Send it!"
Kira ran around excitedly and circled the clearing, as if completely forgetting that he had come in with the pack of wolves.
"So, where did the wolves go?" Kira's eyes fell on several passages across the clearing.
In addition to the passage he came in, there are three other roads here, and the wolves should have entered one of them, but Kira couldn't perceive which one they entered.
"I wish Natsu was here, he has a better nose."
After thinking for a while, Kira decided to try his luck, and walked towards the middle road.
Chapter 61 The Demon Who Claims to Be a Princess
While Kira was caving, the other two teams started their own missions.
"Where are we going to find it now?" Gray asked Erza who was walking in front of him.
Erza didn't turn her head back: "Don't worry about Kira talking about the goddess, let's go to Natsu and Lucy first!"
The tone is strong, no refusal is allowed.
"I knew you would be like this." Gray scratched his hair helplessly, "It's all fake to join the discussion, and taking Kira's airship to bring Natsu and Lucy back is your real purpose, right?"
"Yes, do you have any comments?"
Erza turned her head back, looking at Gray with fierce eyes: "No...no!
If you want to deal with Natsu, please let me join! "
"Well... well, just this once!" Erza nodded, "But you should get along well at other times!"
Gray smiled awkwardly, with cold sweat on his face: "Yes... yes..."
The two walked forward again one after the other.
……
"Really, I agreed to act together before I came out, but I ran away after getting off the airship. Kira is so messy every time!"
On the snow, Kanna, Rocky, and Elfman were also wandering casually. Unlike Erza, they had no intention of forcibly bringing Naz back.
The reason why I came here this time was not only on a whim, but also because I boarded Kira's airship with the idea of free travel. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good to stay in the guild to drink and chat with the young lady?
"I thought he would want to hold a skiing competition here. He lost badly last year. With his temperament, he will definitely come back with revenge. Maybe he ran away by himself just now to practice secretly."
"Hahaha, you really know him." Kana smiled and took a sip of wine to drive away the cold: "It really seems like something he would do."
Elfman also laughed: "Kira's character has always been easy to guess, a man must be so simple and straightforward!"
"That's right, I'm obviously worried about Natsu and Lucy, so I still have to find an excuse."
If Kira knew that they thought of him this way, he would be both surprised and relieved. Surprised that they were really wrong, because he was really not worried about Naz; In vain, in the hearts of everyone in the guild, he is such a good big brother who takes care of his younger siblings.
……
At the same time, Naz, Lucy and Happy are going to the snow mountain to hunt demon wolves at the request of the tavern uncle Poole.
"I said, are there really wolves in this place? Obviously we haven't seen them after walking for so long."
Happy flew down and said, "I didn't see it in the sky either."
"But, since the tavern uncle said it should be there, right?" Natsu replied to Lucy, "Also, I also smelled a non-human smell from that girl just now."
"Nani?!" Lucy looked at Naz in horror, "Doesn't belong to humans?!"
"It should be that the tavern uncle said about the wolves. Besides, there is also the smell of blood."
Lucy recalled: "But the girl named Winter doesn't seem to have any wounds on her body, so could it be that she went to hunt wolves? It's amazing!"
"This is..." Suddenly, Natsu sniffed the air, "It's the same smell as that girl."
After smelling the air for a long time, I finally decided on a direction and ran.
Lucy's cheeks flushed: "Really, can this guy stop talking like a pervert?"
"Is Lucy jealous?" Hubby began to roll his tongue at his best.
"That's not true!" Lucy grabbed Happy and ravaged her in her arms: "You stinky cat, you don't learn from good ones and learn from bad ones!"
"Wait for me, Natsu!"
Trotted to catch up with Natsu, and found that the other party stayed silent on the edge of the snow cliff.
"Is there anything under here?" Lucy took two steps forward curiously and looked down, only to see that under the snow cliff, the corpses of wolves piled up into a mountain of meat, and the blood stained a large area of white snow.
"This is..." Lucy looked at the mountain of corpses under her feet in shock, "Could it be that Winter did it all by himself?"
The melted snow and the blood of the wolves are intertwined, adding a bit of bright color to the pure and innocent earth. It feels as if an artist has drawn a rose on white paper, which is bright and coquettish.
Before Lucy could react, Natsu jumped directly, and as a last resort, Lucy could only let Happy fly down with her.
"It's amazing," Happy said in admiration, "I didn't expect that little girl to be so strong."
Lucy looked at the mountain of wolf corpses piled up in front of her, and made a little gesture with her hand, and concluded that there were about three of them as tall as her, and each of them was bigger than her.
If Kira saw this scene, he would find that these wolf carcasses were from the same batch as the snow wolves he was tracking, and it was here that they fought people.
"The little girl named Wen Te is better than many people in our guild for being able to deal with so many wolves by herself. If she has such strength, she doesn't need our help at all."
"This is the wolf pack that uncle said? Isn't this all resolved?"
Hearing the conversation between Lucy and Happy, Natsu was also a little depressed: "This is not like an S-level task at all! If you can't do anything, is it a waste of time?"
"But now that the wolves have been defeated, what can we do?"
"Don't the enemies still have those demons that make demon wolves? Let's teach them a lesson for the tavern uncle!"
"But now I have no clue!"
Naz sniffed the air: "No, it's not impossible! I can smell it, and some wolves have left. It seems that they haven't all been knocked down. Although the smell is very weak, the smell they left behind is still there. Not scattered."
"Oh, I see! As long as you catch up with the rest of the wolves, you can follow them to find the demons that made the wolves!"
"Hee hee, Happy is right! Let's catch up!"
Hubby responded excitedly: "Hey!"
Just when Lucy was about to catch up, an accident happened suddenly!
Several hard white guns shot down from the sky, with indescribable murderous intent, about to hit the unsuspecting Lucy.
"careful!"
Natsu, who grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, was raised by Igniru to be as keen as a beast, and was the first to react. He turned around and swooped, holding Lucy in his arms. slide out.
Familiar with the road, smooth and silky, it is not comparable to Kira's clumsy skiing operation.
"Nani?" Lucy was pressed directly before she could react, and the heat from Naz's body slapped her face, burning her face red.
"The response is good! It seems that you are the entrusted mages?"
A loli voice that sounded very proud interrupted Lucy's thoughts. Looking up, the girl with twin ponytails was standing on top of the wolf corpse with her hands on her hips, her eyes full of scrutiny. .
Obviously, the attack just now came from her hands.
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly attack Lucy?" Natsu shouted angrily. Although he had known her not long ago, he had already regarded Lucy as his important companion and would never allow anyone to hurt her.
"Me? Humph, listen up! Stupid human beings! I am the master of the ice and snow kingdom under your feet, Princess of the Cloud, Klaue!"
"What, it turns out that there is a patient with princess disease."
Natsu turned his head and complained to Happy. He learned this word from Kira. When he first joined the guild, Kira was his literacy teacher.I remember that Kira said that this word is used to describe the kind of woman who calls herself a princess.
"Natsu, I remember Kira saying that this disease is called the second disease." Happy refuted with his fists clenched.
"No, you remember wrongly, it's princess disease!"
"That's not right, it's the second illness! The one who made the mistake is Natsu!"
Croy was furious at the words of these two guys. Because she stayed in the snow mountain all year round, the information she received was a little behind, so she didn't know what is princess disease and what is secondary disease, but her intuition told her that it was not a good word.
The most obvious thing is that the man and the cat don't take themselves seriously.
"You two guys are so noisy!"
At the moment Croy stomped his feet and yelled angrily, Natsu's flame attack directly hit his face.
Chapter 62 The Queen in the Snow
Naz and Happy are playmates who have stayed together since Happy was born. They have been together for six years, and needless to say, they have a tacit understanding.
Most of the time, as soon as Natsu opens his mouth, Happy knows what he is going to say and what to do; what's more, sometimes it doesn't even need to be said, the tacit understanding of telepathy and the trust between companions can make them play their best. Unexpected coordination moves.
They have used this method of pretending to quarrel to relax the enemy's guard, confuse the enemy's thinking ability, and then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack directly. They have used it countless times, and they can strike accurately every time.
Of course, I learned it from Kira. In his words, this is not cunning, it is called tactics.
I have to mention here that although Kira has taught the members of the guild many things, one of the most respected is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, rush up and directly use big moves!
So just as soon as Natsu spoke, Hubby knew what he wanted to do, and pretended to quarrel cooperatively. When Croy stomped his feet angrily, Hubby grabbed Natsu and flew up at the fastest speed.
"The Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"
The familiar fighting moves were mixed with Natsu's endless anger. The anger added to the power of the flame in his hand, with the help of Happy, hit the girl in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Regardless of whether she is male or female, old or young, human or demon, as long as she attacks her companions, she will bear the wrath of the goblin.
"Natsu! Hubby!"
