Gildas raised the fire pit in the house, causing light to appear in the room, and then the three of them sat down opposite each other.
President Makarov stared at Gildarts, then sighed and asked Coven, "You sense it too, right?"
"Yes." Ke Wen nodded. "I felt it during the day. The magic power in Gildarts' body was very unstable, and the breath of life was even more lost."
"so……"
President Makarov looked at Gildarts, "What exactly happened during your mission?"
Hearing this, the smile on Gildarts' face gradually disappeared, and then he whispered in a serious tone, "I saw... the black dragon!"
President Makarov's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Black dragon!?"
"ah……"
Gildas sighed helplessly, and after looking at Covin, he simply stood up and lifted off the long cloak he was wearing with his right hand.
The scene he saw shocked President Makarov, and Ke Wen also frowned deeply.
Gildarts' current condition is very miserable. Only half of his left arm is left, and his left leg is broken at the knee and replaced with a crudely carved wooden prosthesis.
The waist and abdomen were covered with bandages, with blood seeping out of them, and the exposed skin was filled with fresh scars.
After the display, Gildas covered his cloak again, sat down and said with a wry smile, "One round, just one round."
"With your strength! It's only one round!?"
President Makarov said in disbelief, "Are you distracted again!?"
Shaking his head, Gildas explained, "I was very conscious at the time. Facing that black dragon, I almost used all my strength, but..."
With a sigh, Gildarts' posture changed to a paralyzed posture, and he said feebly, "Facing my attack, the black dragon didn't even have any defense, and it only took one 'roaring breath', and it cost me a heavy life."
cost."
"If the black dragon hadn't suddenly sensed something and left directly, I might not have been able to come back..."
After the words fell, the three people in the room fell silent.
After a while, President Makarov sighed and said softly, "As I said during the day, it would be great if you could come back..."
"Well, I think I saved my life."
Gildarts sat up a little straighter, and then said with a carefree smile, "Sure enough, if you want to fight against the dragon, you have to be a 'dragon slayer' like Natsu."
President Makarov shook his head, "They are still too immature."
At this time, Ke Wen interjected, "I mean, you two, it seems that now is not the time to talk about that, right? Why don't we go to Ms. Porlyusica's place first?"
"Oh, right!" President Makarov suddenly came over and immediately stood up and said, "Come on, Gildarts, let's go there now!"
"Oops..."
Gildarts stood up and scratched his head in distress, "Are you going to disturb that person late at night? I'm afraid we'll get beaten, right?"
Without responding to Gildarts' joke, President Makarov took the lead, and the three of them walked out of the room one after another and headed straight for the forest to the east of the town.
On the way, Ke Wen finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Gildarts, that black dragon, can you confirm its magical properties?"
"Ah." Gildarts said impressively as he moved forward, "Darkness is not the kind of darkness controlled by magicians. It is the ultimate darkness, the highest level, the highest level of darkness!"
Hearing this, Ke Wen nodded slowly and said at the same time, "I understand. There are relevant introductions in the guild's database. If it is extremely dark, then the black dragon may not be defeated by anyone using 'magic'."
President Makarov intervened, raised his head and said to Coven, "No, right? The extremely bright magic of 'Fairy Law' should be able to compete with the opponent."
Ke Wen shook his head, "Old man, you have ignored the opponent's magical power. As a giant dragon, no human's magical power can compare with the opponent."
"That's true..." President Makarov suddenly nodded, "Even if the magic power is of the same nature, the dragon's magic power is suppressive."
Ke Wen said 'hmm', and then said, "So, if you want to defeat the opponent, you can't let him release magic."
"Xiao Kewen."
Gildarts also intervened and said with a smile, "Don't think about how to defeat the black dragon. Don't forget that even with my best blow, I couldn't break the opponent's body defense."
Ke Wen showed a thoughtful look, glanced at President Makarov, and then ended the topic...
…
Gildas's injuries were serious, and even Porlyusica couldn't heal them in a short time.
After the treatment in the second half of the night, Kewen went to the guild to find Wendy in the early morning of the next day, and brought the little girl who also had healing abilities to the tree house.
Polyusica's emotions when facing Wendy were a bit complicated and difficult to understand. Although she still looked extremely repulsive, Kewen could feel a hint of hidden closeness.
But he didn't want to care about the various reasons. After handing Wendy over to Polyusica, he left the tree house, went to the station to buy a train ticket, and went straight to the capital of the kingdom.
In the evening, Kewen returned to the guild through the 'portal', responded to everyone briefly, and then went to Porlyusica's tree house again.
When he arrived at the tree house, Gildarts had completely recovered from his internal and external injuries. When he saw Coven, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "That little Tianlong girl is so awesome. I never thought there was such a kind of magician in 'Dragon Slayer'."
System of treatment.”
"You mean!" Porlyusica crushed a bottle of magic potion with a 'click' and said with a cold face, "Isn't my ability good enough!?"
"Uh, hahaha..." Gildarts quickly scratched the back of his head and apologized, "No, no, no, your medical knowledge is even better!"
"Humph!" Porlyusica continued to argue while wiping her hands, "So I can only talk on paper!?"
"No, no, no! Ah, this..." Gildarts was worried and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Kewen had no choice but to speak up and try to smooth things over.
While taking out a large piece of metal from his pocket, he said, "Madam, I went to the capital to buy the hardest magic metal. Let's design a prosthetic limb for Gildarts now."
Hearing this, Porlyusica glared at Kewen, as if blaming Kewen for interrupting her outburst. After another cold snort, Porlyusica let Gildarts go.
Gildarts secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while Porlyusica turned around, he gave Ke Wen a look of thanks.
Next, Gildarts let himself be manipulated obediently and asked Porlyusica and Coven to measure the size of his arm and left leg.
Two days later, Gildarts was fitted with a metal prosthetic leg, which allowed his left arm and lower leg to recover from their injuries.
Ke Wen also returned to the guild, but he did not take over the 'kanban' work from Mira for the time being because he still had things to do.
Walking up to the second floor, he found Gajeel, who still seemed a bit withdrawn and exclusive, sitting alone at a table eating metal.
"how?"
Gajeel stopped eating and eagerly asked Coven, who was sitting next to him, "Are you finally ready to agree to a duel with me?"
"Not really." Ke Wen shook his head.
"Hey." Gajeel lost interest, resumed eating, and said in a vague voice, "Then why are you looking for me?"
"You're envious, aren't you?" Ke Wen said something incomprehensible.
However, Gajeel understood it immediately, and couldn't help but stiffen, and then said in a stiff tone, "Xian, what are you envious of!? What do I have to envy!?"
"Natsu and Wendy." Ke Wen said with a smile, "They are also 'Dragon Slayers'. The Fire Dragon has a blue male cat, the Celestial Dragon has a white female cat, and you..."
Kewen looked at Gajeel pitifully, then shook his head and made a "tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk" sound.
Bang!
Gajeel was so embarrassed that he slapped the table and shouted, "What do you mean!? Are you mocking me!?"
Coven was unfazed by Gajeel's attitude and held out two fingers.
Taking one back, Ke Wen said, "You once owed me a favor. When you were a Ghost, I let you go."
"You!" Gajeel gritted his teeth angrily, "Okay! How do you want me to repay you!"
Ke Wen smiled and shook his head, then took back the second finger and said, "I can provide you with information that will allow you to get the cat."
Whoosh!
Gajeel stood up instantly, feeling very excited and shouting impatiently, "Tell me! Whatever you ask me to do!!!"
"Hmph..."
Ke Wen chuckled, then stood up and said, "The mountains south of the town, the highest peak, I will wait for you there."
After saying that, without waiting for Gajeel's response, Kewen immediately used the magic of 'teleportation' to disappear to the first floor.
Appearing next to Lisanna, Coven took the girl out of the guild.
Soon a huge figure flew up, and Lisanna transformed into a bird and snake form, carrying Kewen and flying towards the mountains in the south.
Nearly an hour later, Gajeel climbed up the steep peak with a slight breath, and saw the figures of Coven and Lisanna at the top.
Looking at the picnic tablecloth between the two of them and the food and drinks on it, Gajeel couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But because he was threatened, he could only suppress his emotions and said angrily to Ke Wen, "Here I come! What on earth do you want me to do!?"
Ke Wen pointed to the food on the tablecloth with a smile, "Would you like some?"
"Stop being so verbose!" Gajeel urged in a low voice, "Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"Okay." Coven shook his head, then took out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket, threw it to Gajeel and said, "Drink it."
"What is this?" Gajeel glanced at the potion in his hand.
"A magic potion that can make you sleep." Ke Wen solved the puzzle. "How about it? Do you dare to drink it?"
Gajeel glanced at the potion again, then stared at Coven, raised his hand and poured the potion into his mouth...
