Facts have proved that there are many times when ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel.
Caesar's idea was indeed too good, but Gray basically never said a word about Deliora and Uru.
After all, this thing is the shadow of Gray's childhood and the scar in his heart. No matter how good the relationship is, who would do nothing but reveal the scars in his heart?
As for showing off the human body training in front of Gray?
In response to this, Caesar just wanted to say haha.
Human body transmutation is related to the resurrection of the dead. Not only in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, but also in the world of Fairy Tail, it is an absolute taboo.
As long as Caesar dares to use it, believe it or not, Makarov will report it and kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
Therefore, this thing can only be done secretly, and those who know about it should all keep their mouths shut and pretend that it never happened. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, Caesar will definitely be in trouble.
To sum up, without any evidence and not wanting to spoil the plot, Caesar had no way to pry the truth out of Gray.
The only progress he made was that he learned the name of his master, Uru, from Gray.
Caesar was discouraged by this, and at the same time, he started to accept new commissions.
There is no way, the second magic source has to be put on hold for the time being, so the construction of the deck must be put on the agenda.
Caesar also started to work hard to make money and prepare to draw cards.
"Defeat the devil? The reward is 18 Jewels, not bad."
Looking at the few orders left on the order column, Caesar found a new order.
It records the location and reward of the crusade commission.
The distance is not too far, and it only takes half a day by train.
In addition, the location of the crusade target is fixed as marked on the commission, so if you can return quickly, you can be back in the evening.
After accepting this crusade mission, Caesar left the guild with ease.
With the system backpack, Caesar is usually very relaxed when working. Compared with Erza who always has a car full of bags, it is really enviable.
After getting on the train, Caesar closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He felt that he and Natsu were definitely a perfect match.
Natsu is dizzy in all forms of transportation, and he feels sleepy as soon as he gets on public transportation!
If you don't take a nap, you'll still feel sleepy when you get off the bus.
But compared to Natsu, Caesar has one advantage, that is, even if he falls asleep, he can wake up immediately as long as the station is about to arrive or something disturbs him.
Compared to Natsu's disgusting appearance, Caesar is clearly the winner.
...After half a day of train ride, Caesar slept all the way and soon arrived at the station of the entrusted place.
"I remember that the client was the village chief, and the target location was a church in the village."
Caesar scratched his head and then walked towards the nearby village.
First meet with the client, then confirm the situation, and finally resolve it quickly, and then go for a quick lunch.
"It shouldn't be too dangerous, and it's not roaming around. Let's deal with it early and eat early."
Caesar has handled such commissions many times and is familiar with them.
So even though it was almost time for lunch, he decided to deal with the commission first and then go to the client's place for lunch.
This saves money on buying lunch.
perfect!
While thinking this, Caesar also arrived at the village.
After meeting with the village chief, Caesar learned that the church had been abandoned for a long time, and some time ago someone discovered a demon-like creature lurking in it.
"At first it only made some noise at night, but now it makes noise even during the day. If we don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will walk out of the church, and by then it will be too late."
The village chief leaned on his crutches, looked at Caesar tremblingly and said,
"Everything is up to you."
"Don't worry, village chief."
Caesar consoled him, "Don't look at me because I'm young. I've handled a lot of missions. If you don't believe me, you can check the records. Leave this to me. I'll resolve it as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye to the villagers, Caesar came alone to the abandoned church on the outskirts of the village.
Looking at the dilapidated church, Caesar, with his great skills and courage, pushed open the closed wooden door.
"Crack…Boom!"
The wooden door made a harsh sound, and then, due to disrepair, it fell down, splashing up a cloud of dust.
"Ahem, it's been a while since anyone's been here... Wait, there are footprints."
Caesar waved his hand to fan away the dust. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly discovered that there were some clear and messy footprints left on the thick dust on the ground. Squatting down, Caesar looked carefully and found that the footprints were relatively small.
"Little feet? Or... little children?" Caesar muttered softly.
But at this moment, the sound of tables and chairs being dragged was heard. Caesar instantly raised his head and looked towards the sound.
A short figure in a black robe appeared in the corner of the church. When he saw Caesar looking at him, he immediately ran into the church without looking back.
"Stop!"
Caesar suddenly rushed out, and Hyorinmaru emerged. Along with Caesar's slash, a biting cold air surged out and rushed directly towards the figure.
"Damn it!"
The next moment, a somewhat childish and hoarse voice was heard, and an arm like a dead branch stretched out from the black robe, blocking the cold air with a wave of the hand.
But this was just a tentative attack by Caesar. Seeing that the other party had no means of resistance, Caesar laughed: "How weak! I succeeded!"
After saying that, he flashed closer to the opponent, slashed out with the Hyorinmaru, and was about to kill the opponent with one blow.
"Stop!"
"Don't hurt my sister!"
Just when Caesar was about to succeed, two childish voices were heard, and the blade that Caesar was about to chop down stopped directly.
As the cold air spread, the hood of the other person's black robe froze and shattered, revealing his long white hair and frightened brown-blue eyes.
Seeing Caesar stopped, a white-haired little loli and a white-haired little boy rushed out and blocked Caesar.
The two looked at Caesar with tears in their eyes and said anxiously: "Don't hurt my sister, we are not demons."
Caesar was silent, and Hyorinmaru slowly disappeared. He recognized that these three were the Strauss family.
Then the girl in black robe and her arms like dead branches, it is obvious that she is the future "demon" Mirajane of Fairy Tail!
"I didn't expect that after accepting a commission, I would run into these three people.
Caesar recalled the plot he knew, and then he remembered that when Mirajane was a child, she was possessed by a demon in order to eliminate the demon that was causing trouble in the church.
As a result, she was hated by the people in the village and was forced to leave the village.
After that, she met Makarov and was brought into the guild.
But now it seems that he will come into contact with Mirajane earlier than Makarov.
Or...
