Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Don't Move Here, I'm Going To Buy An Orange
The enraged Natsu had already started fighting with Porla.
Knight did not intervene, he jumped lightly from the breakwater and landed beside Lucy.
"Hello, I'm Knight."
"My name is Lucy, thank you for saving me."
Seeing the handsome guy approaching her, Lucy hurriedly thanked him and looked at him curiously.
"Aren't you going to help? There are a lot of them."
Knight glanced and saw Natsu beating up Porla and his gang.
Happy flew to Knight's shoulder and said confidently:
"Natsu is very strong and will not lose to those fakes. Knight, just watch carefully!"
Knight reached out and touched the blue cat's head:
"He is the Dragon Slayer of Fire, who transforms himself into a dragon's physique to counter the dragon's dragon-slaying magic. A lost magic."
"Dragon-slaying magic?"
Lucy was extremely surprised. As expected of the wizards of Fairy Tail, each one of them was so powerful.
It was the magic to counter the dragon and the tsunami, which was indeed different from that fake.
"Lucy, are you a Celestial Spirit magician?"
Knight seemed to have just noticed the bunch of keys in Lucy's hand, three gold and three silver.
Celestial Spirit Magic is an ancient magic that signs a contract with Celestial Spirit and uses the key as a medium to summon Celestial Spirit from the other-dimensional space "Celestial Spirit Realm" to fight.
Celestial Spirit magicians are very rare and belong to the possession system.
The disadvantage is that without the key, you can't use magic.
"Huh? Yes."
"Actually, I'm carrying out a commission, and one of the rewards for the commission is a key to the zodiac."
Knight showed a business-like smile like a businessman, and said in a friendly tone:
"It seems to be useless to me. If you want, I can sell it to you."
"Zodiac key?"
Lucy opened her eyes wide and nodded in surprise: "Really? Are you willing to give it to me?"
Knight: "..."
Miss from a rich family, how did you hear "sell" as "give"?
"Sell." He had to remind with emphasis.
"ah,Sorry... I got a little too excited.." Lucy A little embarrassed, I quickly apologized: "I'm willing to pay for it, how much do you want?""
Unlike ordinary silver keys, there are only twelve golden keys, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs. Therefore, each one is very precious, and if you miss it, you may never get it again.
Knight Shaking his head, he said:
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
"Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until I successfully complete the commission and get the key."
At this moment, a scream was heard, interrupting their conversation.
Knight Looking sideways, I saw Natsucall out" Fire Dragon's Iron Fist",One Punch Porla Beat them hard and fly away.
Along with the collapse of several houses, Natsu Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and headed Knight Shouted: "Oh no, the army is coming. Happy, Knight,Run away! If you get caught, you will have to pay for it!"
"Love~"
Happy Fly over immediately.
Knight right Lucy Said: "Do you want to join Fairy Tail?Follow me."
He said, turning around and running without paying any attention to her.
Lucy was slightly startled, then smiled happily.
"Yes! Wait for me."
Several people ran away one after another, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
After a while, Makarov appeared on the breakwater, his fist hardened.
"Natsu... I'm the one who got scolded!"
...
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the magic train stopped running, so it was temporarily impossible to go to Magnolia.
Knight and others who escaped from the scene found a hotel to stay in.
Lucy lay in the bathtub, recalling the scenes of today, and couldn't help but smile.
"Tomorrow I can join Fairy Tail, and I can also buy a zodiac key from Knight!"
"Today is really my lucky day~"
Although I encountered a fake and was deceived by it, the final result was good.
I met two... no, three Fairy Tail wizards!
Happy, humming a song.
After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, it was still early for bedtime.
Lucy took out a diary and recorded the happy day.
On the other side, in the next room.
Natsu and Happy were already fast asleep.
Knight sat in front of the window, reading the magic book in the moonlight outside the window.
…
The next day, early morning.
Hargeon train station.
"Knight, aren't you going back to the guild with us?" Natsu asked curiously.
"I still have a commission, I will go back after completing the commission." Knight waved goodbye to the two people and the cat.
"Really? Then, see you at the guild!"
Natsu grinned, turned around and got on the train, then lay down and vomited on the spot.
Lucy waved to Knight.
"Goodbye, Knight, don't forget the key."
Knight just smiled.
Watching the train go away, Knight turned around and left the station.
"Next, it's time to complete the commission."
Arrived at the port, looking for a boatman willing to take him to Galuna Island.
There were many boats at the port, but they all shook their heads when they heard that they were going to Galuna Island.
It was not until Knight revealed his identity as a wizard that a boatman was finally willing to take him there.
On the boat to Galuna Island, Knight began to recall the stories that happened on the island.
About three years ago, a group of wizards moved a frozen demon to the island.
It was a forbidden magic called "Absolute Ice Purity". A great wizard named Ur sealed the demon at the cost of his own body disappearing.
For three years, the group of wizards on the island continued to use the "Moon Drop" magic to melt the ice.
Under the influence of the Moon Drop ritual, a layer of evil air barrier was formed above the island.
The existence of the barrier caused confusion in the memories of the residents on the island.
They were originally demons, but they mistakenly thought they were humans and were cursed.
So, they sent a commission to Fairy Tail.
Solving the commission was also very simple, just destroy the barrier.
Knight was not interested in what the group of wizards were going to do, and did not want to meddle in other people's business.
He just needs to go to the island and punch, then take the reward.
Simple!
What an easy S-level mission!
Unfortunately, he only knows this one S-level commission.
"Are you a wizard who wants to go to the island to solve the curse?"
Suddenly, the boatman standing at the bow rowing the boat said: "My name is Bobo, and I am a resident who escaped from the cursed island."
"My name is Knight, don't worry, it will be solved soon."
Knight vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be the only villager on the island who did not have memory confusion.
"Can you really solve the curse?"
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Bobo couldn't help but say: "When you set foot on that island, disaster will also befall you, and it's not too late to turn back now."
"So, you should learn more magic. If you don't learn magic, life is full of curses."
Knight chuckled and explained to him the existence of the evil spirit barrier.
After hearing this, Bobo was stunned.
It turns out that the source of the curse is so simple.
"You didn't even go to the island, how did you know?" Bobo was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Compared to these, you should row the boat seriously. The sooner you get there, the sooner I can finish my work."
Knight didn't say any more nonsense, took out the magic book and continued to read.
He had already read half of it. When he finished reading this magic book, the [library] would be built soon.
Seeing that he had a mature look in his heart, Bobo was silent for a moment and chose to believe it once.
Immediately, he stopped talking and increased the speed of rowing.
A few hours later, the boat arrived at Galuna Island.
Knight got off the boat and turned back to say to him:
"Don't move here, I'll go buy an orange..."
