Crypto Gold in Fairy Tail

"I'm back!"

Pushing open the door, Arden walked into the guild.

"Hey, Arden is back. How do you feel about your first A-level subjugation mission?"

"Welcome back."

"It looks like it ended successfully."

"Tsk, I've only had peace for a few days, let me have a good rest!"

When he returned to the guild, it was still a lively scene. Arden looked around and found that Makarov was nowhere to be seen.

When the commission was completed, Arden asked: "Where is the Master?"

"There was a regular meeting that he needed to attend, so he went out."

A waiter explained to Arden: "But the Master said he will be back soon, probably the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Oh, that's it. Being the Master is troublesome."

Arden nodded, then took out a package from the system backpack, found Erza, and handed it to her.

"Erza, I'll give you the lizard-man scales I defeated. They should be used to make armor."

"Then I'll accept it."

Erza was not polite to Arden. After all, they were from the same village, and her Requip magic was also money-consuming.

Arden needs Crypton gold to draw cards, while Erza needs Crypton gold to build suitable magic armor.

Therefore, whether it is monster materials or rare metals, Erza has to continuously collect them, and then use them to build armor with various attributes to cope with different battles.

Of course, each pair of armor requires a large amount of investment. In addition, after the creation is completed, it must be continuously adjusted based on experiments. The amount of money consumed can be said to be huge.

In this regard, Arden had no good solution. The only thing he could think of was to become an S-class mage as soon as possible and go to the second floor of the guild to receive S-class commissions.

You know, the commission on the first floor, even if it is A-level, will not exceed 1 million J, while the starting price of S-level commission is 3 million J, with no upper limit!

Of course, it is extremely difficult to get an S-level commission, and it will take a lot of time for an S-level magician to complete it.

The fastest speed known so far is probably when President Makarov was young, it took him a week to complete an S-class commission.

What's more, it is normal for it to take seven or eight months.

After handing the scales to Erza, Arden found an empty seat to sit down, ordered a meal, and looked at his character interface while eating.

[Name]: Arden Solis

[Level]: 11

[Body]: 29+ (184)

[Strength]: 30+ (173)

[Sensitivity]: 30+ (201)

This mission verified Arden's guess that you can gain experience by fighting against magic units.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a wizard or a monster, they can provide experience.

"If this is the case, then when accepting missions in the future, you can be biased in accepting more subjugation missions."

Arden was thinking while eating: "The first choice is to conquer monsters and upgrade as much as possible. The second is to conquer bandits and dark magic guilds. However, most of these are fat men, and they also need to limit the number of people. They need someone to help."

In the world of Fairy Tail, previous commissions related to subjugating bandits and dark magic guilds have always been a headache.

Because most of these places are crowded, it is easy to fall in if you attack alone. When there are more people, sharing the reward equally will seem a bit small, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

In the end, with no other choice, the Magic Council passed a bill.

That is, after conquering such places, the expedition team will obtain ownership of the funds and rare items owned by these places, and the internal items will be distributed by the expedition team themselves.

As soon as this bill came out, it naturally attracted many people to take risks, and for a while, it suppressed these dark forces.

After all, no matter how small it is, the other party is still an organization, and the funds contained in it are beyond the imagination of a single person.

This also led to the general crusade mission becoming a piece of cake.

As soon as it comes out, it will be robbed.

Of course, those dark forces are not stupid. After knowing this news, they will generally leave nothing inside their organizations, thus discouraging the enthusiasm of some magicians.

But for Arden, the harvest is still considerable and he can give it a try.

After eating and drinking, Arden pushed the bowl and chopsticks away and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, I remember I've been at Fairy Tail for more than two years, right?"

Arden suddenly reacted and asked the guild members who were drinking on the side: "Is this year 777?"

After getting a positive answer, Arden finally realized that the time had come to the most critical point!

In 777, the dragons collectively disappeared, Natsu joined Fairy Tail, Mystogan came to Aslander, Wendy met Mystogan, and then Wendy joined the Demon Cat's Lodge, and Layla died after launching the eclipse gate.

Recalling the plot information in his mind, Arden smiled bitterly. With his current strength, he was not qualified to intervene in the original plot development.

"At least... first pass the S-class assessment and become an S-class mage before you can consider whether anything can be changed."

Arden was thinking silently in his heart. At this stage, the first thing he has to consider is leveling up, drawing cards, and improving his strength. As for the plot... slow down for now, he can't change anything.

Even if it was Layla, who had he to interfere?

He couldn't even go to the Tower of Heaven.

Although Jellal is easy to deal with now, Brain alone can defeat Arden with one hand.

If he goes, he is seeking death! 

Just when Arden was thinking this, a voice full of energy suddenly came from outside the gate: "It's so awesome. Is this your guild, grandpa?! It's awesome!"

Following the sound, Arden saw a boy with short cherry-colored hair and a white plaid scarf around his neck.

Behind him was Makarov, wearing a clown hat and holding a staff.

Arden looked at Natsu who appeared and immediately understood that the door to the eclipse gate had been opened and Layla was dying.

"Pity."

Arden sighed. One was lamenting that Lucy had lost her mother at a young age, and the other was lamenting that he had no time to find Wendy. It was estimated that she should be taken to the Cait Shelter's Place by Mystogan at this moment.

But...

Should he tell Natsu that the Igneel he has been looking for is actually inside his own body?

"Forget it, it's better not to say it, otherwise it won't be easy to explain how you know. Just keep a low profile, don't be too obtrusive and cause a lot of trouble for yourself."

After thinking about it, Arden decided not to rush forward, but to develop steadily, at least until he has the strength of an S-class magician, before considering other things.

It's just that sometimes the more you don't want to mess with it, some things will always come to you...
