28: Lalabai
"In fact, I think not only Erza, but even you or Natsu can deal with them if they take some time."
Natsu, who had returned at some point, was immediately excited when he heard Kira's words: "Of course! I'm very strong!"
Happy also cheered: "Hey!"
Natsu continued, "Gray probably won't be able to do that."
"What did you say? Do you want to see who can kill them first?"
"Let's compete! Who's afraid of you?!"
Their faces came together and their eyes flashed with lightning in the air.
However, this spark was quickly suppressed by Erza's anger: "You two, be quiet!"
"Yes!" ×2
Kira asked Erza curiously: "What are you going to do?"
"We will go directly into the Iron Forest and capture them all in one fell swoop. If possible, we will also ask them about the sealed magic they mentioned."
It's you, Erza! You always use this crude and rough method to deal with things!
"What a great plan! You are worthy of me, Erza!" Kira pretended to praise Erza's strategy, "But like I just said, this dark guild called Iron Forest is not difficult for you to deal with. Even Eligore is far from your opponent. So what you are worried about is... that 'Larabai', right?"
Erza nodded and admitted, "That's right! Larabai... have any of you heard of it?"
Natsu, Gray, and Happy all shook their heads and said in unison, "I don't know."
Kira rolled his eyes at them and said, "I don't expect you guys to know. Let's ask others."
Erza was a bit troubled: "But who should I ask about this matter..."
"Who should I ask? Of course, I'll ask the person who loves learning the most in the guild. Levi! Come here!"
Hearing the voice, Levi, who was studying hard in the corner of the store, came over holding a book: "Kira, Erza, what's going on?"
Levi, a girl in Fairy Tail, is 17 years old. She has short blue hair and wears a pair of pink glasses with outer rims on her nose. She looks like a student. Although she is thin and short, she is surprisingly fertile.
In the original novel, he is considered one of the main supporting characters, with average strength. The only thing that readers talk about is his relationship with Gajeel - how could that bastard Gajeel do that? He actually dared to try his luck at the age of 18!
"Levy, you have the largest collection of books in our guild. Erza wants you to help look up something about Larabai."
"Larabai? I get it, leave it to me." Leibi adjusted her glasses confidently and opened the book in her hand.
The big data catalog uses special magic to connect all the books that Leibi keeps in her dormitory; the specially made wind swimming goggles can increase the reading speed by 64 to 128 times, which is much faster than the wind swimming goggles on the market.
Both are Kira's work.
Everyone watched Leibi's operation quietly, and the sound of flipping pages lasted for a long time.
After a long while, Levi excitedly handed over the book: "I found it! 'Larabai', according to legend, was originally a tool used to cast 'curse' magic, and was later made into a flute by the black magician Jellal that can release 'curse song'. It looks like a wooden flute with bones attached, and there are three eyes on the skull..."
Erza and Gray were a little shocked when they heard this: "Zeff? Isn't that the one..."
"Yes, the most evil black magician from hundreds of years ago!"
Only Natsu still looked confused: "What what?? Who is Zeref?"
It's your Nissan, Natsu!
Gray was helpless: "Didn't I just tell you? Are you listening?"
Erza had cold sweat on her head. She suddenly felt that things were a bit tricky, not for any other reason, but simply because Zeref was too famous.
Lucy thought to herself, "The three-eyed skull's flute...the curse song...Zeref?!"
"What's wrong, Lucy?" Erza asked, "Do you know anything?"
"I've only read about it in books..." Lucy told everyone what she knew: "Among the many forbidden magics in the wizarding world, isn't there a kind of curse magic? Larabai... has the magic of 'collective curse', which can curse and kill all creatures that hear the sound of the flute!"
"What?!"
Erza was shocked: "Damn it! If something like this falls into Eligore's hands, I don't know what will happen! Bastard! What is the purpose of that group of guys? We must stop him!!!"
"Calm down! Erza!" Kira called out to Erza, who was about to leave, in a calm and indifferent voice.
"Kira? This matter..."
"This matter is not as big as you think! So sit down and collect your thoughts before you leave!"
Erza was silent for two seconds, sighed, and sat down: "You're right, I was a little excited just now."
At times like this, Kira always seemed to have the ability to grasp the overall situation. He had completely lost the humor he usually had when playing pranks, and was replaced by a calm mind and clear thoughts.
This phenomenon is called "Sage" mode by the guild members.
"Ahem... Do you remember the magic theory I often talked about?" Kira cleared his throat, shook the juice in his hand pretentiously, and said slowly, "There is no kind of magic in this world that is invincible..."
Erza continued: "The more powerful the magic, the more obvious the flaws, and the greater the price to pay."
Ever since Kira became an S-class wizard many years ago and became famous in the magic world, he immediately found the most famous magic newspaper in the Kingdom of Fiore and published his experience in fighting enemies and magic theories in the monthly magazine. He then compiled them into books and sold them in bookstores, thereby earning the first money for opening the store.
Because of his title of "Sage", Kira's books, like his magic props, are not only hot-selling throughout the Kingdom of Fiore, but are also sought after in neighboring countries.
So...how could he not promote it in the guild?
Although the publicity effect is not very ideal, but after so many years, every member of the guild, even if they have not read any of Kira's books in full, can talk about the content and ideas in them.
"It seems you still remember." Kira nodded with relief. This is the good thing about Erza. She is very serious about everything. If it were someone else, they would definitely forget it, and even if they remembered, they would not continue.
When he turned around, his expression became that nonsensical one again. "Lucy, you've just entered the magic world, so you'd better listen. It may be helpful in the future."
"Kira's magic theory...?"
Hmm? Lucy seems to be interested. Kira's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Yes, it's very useful. I sell it in my shop. I'll take you to see it if I have the chance. It's on the central street of Magnolia. The Hope House is..."
"That's enough! Kira! Let's get down to business first!"
Really, this is Erza's bad point. She always likes to interrupt others. I don't know who she learned this from.
"Okay, okay, let's get back to business." Kira was not angry. After all, he was a big customer, so he had to continue, "The theory I just talked about is still missing one point."
"Those who play with magic will eventually be played by magic!"
Everyone was confused. So what? What exactly do you want to say?
Alas, Kira sighed with some disappointment. After so many years of getting along with each other, there is still no one in this group who has enough tacit understanding with me.
"The information that Levi just found said that Larabai is a magic item that was modified by Zeref, right?"
Erza was a little confused: "Yeah, so what?"
"According to records, Zeref created many demons. Larabaie was transformed by Zeref into a magical item that can cast the 'Spell Song'. So, we can make a bold guess that Larabaie himself is very likely a demon."
