Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Fairy Queen, Erza Is Back
"Enemy!"
Lucy's heart trembled.
If Knight hadn't pulled her just now, the huge frying pan in front of her would have fallen on her.
"No, how can you steal, young wizard."
A man with a boiled egg head stood lightly on the long handle of the frying pan, with an upright posture and looking down from a high position.
"Brother, don't waste time talking to the thief!"
The voice came from behind.
Lucy looked back and saw a tall figure falling from the sky and stomping down on the two of them.
Knight pulled Lucy again and easily avoided the sneak attack.
With a bang, the foot landed on the ground and stepped out a deep pit.
"Good reaction, wizard."
The tall younger brother had a cross-shaped afro. After missing the attack, he spoke with ease:
"We are the Panishou brothers of the mercenary guild [Southern Wolf]. You are just unlucky to meet us!"
In Knight's eyes, the magic power in the two brothers was weak, and it was estimated that they didn't even have "half a heart".
"You are so arrogant. Can't you even tell the difference between the enemy and us?"
At this time, Lucy had taken out a bunch of keys from her skirt pocket.
She chanted a spell:
"I am the one who connects the road to the Celestial Spirit world. You, respond to my call and pass through the door. Open, the Gate of Taurus, Taurus!"
A Celestial Spirit with a double-edged axe and a bull's head emerged from the golden magic circle.
Seeing this scene, the Panishu brothers were all shocked.
"Celestial Spirit wizard? Or the zodiac."
"Taurus, defeat them!"
Lucy quickly gave the order.
Taurus mooed, and before he could get mad at his master, he jumped up, took off the double-edged axe on his back, and swung it at the two of them.
"Moo!"
With a bang, the ground was cut open by the giant axe.
The Panishu brothers scattered and dodged, barely avoiding the attack.
The elder brother swung the pan to fight back, but the huge pan seemed very light in his hands.
He swept the pan across and hit Taurus.
At the same time.
The younger brother quickly approached Lucy and attacked with his well-trained fist.
"The biggest weakness of the Celestial Spirit wizard is that the wizard himself is a waste!"
He said arrogantly.
However, a hand suddenly appeared in front of his face and held his head tightly.
Suddenly, his vision was reversed.
As the whole person fell backwards, he saw the blue sky through the gap between Knight's fingers.
"What?"
The younger brother was shocked and didn't react at all.
The next moment,
the back of his head hit the ground hard, followed by a strong vibration force.
Boom!
In an instant, the ground cracked.
The cross-star afro, who was still arrogant a second ago, was now lying on the ground like a dead dog.
"What should I call this move?"
Knight let go of his hand and thought: "Grab the target's head and use vibration to accurately hit the head... Strong hands to crack the skull?"
"Brother!"
After Lucy and Taurus exchanged a move, they found that their brother was killed in seconds, and they were immediately shocked.
It all happened so fast that Lucy didn't even see Knight's movements clearly.
"It's Knight!" She felt completely safe and shouted: "Taurus, kill him quickly."
Taurus took advantage of his brother's distraction and hit the opponent's back with an axe, knocking him down directly.
Lucy screamed and fainted on the spot.
"What are these two people doing here?" Knight was speechless, "It seems that the work of a mercenary is not easy."
"Miss Lucy, your figure is still the same as always." Taurus stood next to Lucy with a loving look in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, you should go back first."
Lucy waved the key perfunctorily and sent Taurus back to the Celestial Spirit world, "Knight, it has been solved, let's go find the client quickly."
"Don't worry, there is another one."
Knight walked under a tree, squatted down, stretched out his right palm and pressed it on the ground.
"Earthquake!"
Boom!
The earth shattered, forming a huge pit with a radius of tens of meters.
In the pit, Duke Abar lay miserably in the middle.
"This old pervert!" Lucy said in surprise: "When did he hide underground?"
"Since you left the Duke's Mansion, he has followed you all the way."
Knight walked to the unconscious Duke and took out a golden key from his pocket.
"So, is it because of me that you were exposed?" Lucy was a little embarrassed: "I thought it was Knight who was caught stealing books."
Why do I feel like a waste?
Fortunately, there is Knight.
Suddenly seeing that Knight had an extra golden key in his hand, Lucy's pupils trembled and blurted out:
"The key of the zodiac! Virgo!! Is he also a Celestial Spirit wizard?"
She suddenly remembered the maids she saw at the door, and she felt something was wrong at the time. It turned out that there was a Celestial Spirit among them.
Muscle maid!
The one who appeared at the beginning!
Lucy's eyes lit up, and her voice suddenly became choked:
"Lord Knight~"
"Hey, don't be crazy, this is my trophy."
Knight played with the Virgo key in his hand: "Virgo? Should I also learn Celestial Spirit Magic and become a Celestial Spirit wizard?"
"Celestial Spirit Magic is not that easy to learn!"
Lucy hurried over and grabbed the key with tears in her eyes: "I'll buy it, can't I buy it?"
"Do you have money?"
"Can I write an IOU..."
Lucy's tone was humble, and her eyes were full of water.
It's over, the more I owe, the more I owe.
Knight gave her the key, touched Lucy's head, and smiled to comfort:
"Come on, it's just 15.997 million J, it will be paid off soon."
"..."
Lucy was happy and sad, and she was almost broken.
"Let's go, what are you still doing, go find the client."
"Yes!"
Soon after, Knight and the other found the client, a middle-aged man who lived in a mansion.
The client was shocked that they came with the book, but he finally said he would pay.
Lucy was confused that he would pay 2 million J for destroying a book.
Before destroying it, she read "Sunrise" carefully and soon found something unusual.
On the surface, this book was a personal adventure novel written by a great writer for Duke Abar.
It was very badly written, and it was not at all like the level of this great writer.
After reading it carefully, Lucy soon realized that it was a magic book.
It was a gift from the great writer's father to his son, and it was also his last work.
It turned out that the great writer was threatened by Duke Abar with his family, so he had to make a trick of replacing the pillars.
"He is my father..."
After solving the mystery and understanding everything, the client burst into tears and finally decided not to destroy the book.
Knight was not interested in these, but just watched Lucy perform silently.
Finally, they got 2 million J and got on the carriage for the return trip.
"Actually, he rented the mansion, and he is not a rich man." In the car, Knight shook his head and said, "It's a shame to save face."
"Huh? Really?" Lucy was surprised: "Then isn't it a bad idea for us to take 2 million?"
"This is to teach him a lesson. Instead of letting him waste money on other things to save face, it's better to give it to me and I'll help him spend it."
"Well, that makes sense."
Lucy also thought it was okay. Since there was no money, she shouldn't just increase the amount of 200,000 to 2 million.
...
Back to Magnolia.
Knight and Lucy walked into the guild together.
"It's so quiet..."
Standing at the door, Lucy looked around strangely. It should be very noisy normally.
Knight saw Natsu and Gray, the two of them were arm in arm, showing a very friendly side.
In front of them, a tall girl in armor was nodding with satisfaction.
"Erza Shukalet..."
One of the five S-level members of the guild, nicknamed "Fairy Queen".
