Chapter 39 - Torch Endeavor
Chapter 39 - Torch Endeavor
On the train……
Evan, Makarov and the others sat on the large sofa. Although the two rows of sofas facing each other can only seat four people, because of Makarov and others, there are four children here, so it is very spacious despite it. (Note: The four children refer to Evan, Gray, Lyon and Makarov…)
“Is this the train?!”
“Gray, look at the changing scenery…”
“Why didn’t I think that snow-white mountain was so beautiful before?”
Lyon and Gray were leaning against the window, constantly looking out, admiring the beautiful snow scenery outside. Although they grew up in the north, they were already used to seeing the snow-white color, but seeing it from the high-speed train, it was different from seeing it on weekdays. The scenery is completely different.
“These two children…”
Ur looked at Gray and Lyon, who were sitting opposite her, lying on the edge of the window sill, looking out constantly. Her eyes were full of doting, as if they were looking at their own children generally.
When Ur saw how excited Gray and Lyon were at the moment, she also felt in her heart that her decision to leave the town with her two children and go to the west where magic is more active was absolutely the right choice.
Only after getting out of this small world where I was, and coming to a bigger stage, can they see how vast this world is!
“It’s really good~!”
Makarov looked at Ur, Lyon, and Gray with a smile. His heart was full of joy. He also gained a lot from this trip. He immediately gained a top combat power and two good seedlings. Sure enough, Evan can bring good luck to their Fairy Tail!
“Ah~”
Evan yawned self-consciously. As the train continued to move westward, Evan faintly felt the magic power of a certain idiot in his keen and powerful perception.
“Is that guy around here?” Evan used Observation Haki, and muttered to herself.
“Well, may I ask that you are Mr. Makarov, right?”
Just as Evan and the others sat lazily on the train, enjoying the rare moment of rest.
Accompanied by a slightly hoarse voice with some vicissitudes, a middle-aged man in a black coat, holding a dilapidated briefcase in his hand, who looked like he was in his sixties or seventies, walked to them with kindness. Next to Evan and the others, he took off his hat and saluted Makarov.
“You are……”
“Mr. Torch Endeavor?! Please sit down quickly!” After Makarov heard the voice, he turned his head slightly. When he saw the appearance of this middle-aged man, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately got off his seat, and asked the middle-aged man to take his seat.
As for Makarov, who left his seat, he ran up to Evan who was sitting opposite him, and said softly, “Evan, make room for me!”
“Ugh……” Evan sighed, and squeezed in the direction of Ur next to her, leaving some space for Makarov.
However, because of Ur’s slender figure, and the fact that Evan and Makarov are not very big, sitting in a row with three of them does not look very crowded.
“Hehe…… Then I’d rather be obedient than respectful!”
The middle-aged man named Torch Endeavor smiled at everyone, and sat opposite Makarov, where Makarov was originally sitting.
Gray and Lyon, who were originally sitting on the same side as Makarov, also sat down obediently after seeing a stranger taking their seats, carefully looking at the man named Torch Endeavor next to them.
“Hehe, it’s not as reserved as this one…” Torch Endeavor just smiled lightly at Gray and Lyon, then turned around and set his eyes on Evan.
He said: “Surely this is Evan, who is famous in the mainland and has the title of Polar Star? He is indeed a good-looking talent. I heard that you like to hit people with meteors summoned by real Heavenly Body Magic. I don’t know if it is true or not?!”
“‘Like to hit people with meteors’?!”
“We testify!!”
Gray and Lyon looked at each other, then kept nodding their heads while shouting inwardly.
“It’s all just rumors! I’ve always been a peace-loving person, and I rarely use that level of magic.”
After listening to Torch Endeavor’s words, Evan shook his head with a light smile, and at the same time glared at him. After hearing Torch Endeavor’s question, he lowered his head as if to imply something to Gray and Lyon who is holding their head high.
“Um……” In an instant, Gray and Lyon calmed down like a mouse seeing a cat.
“Haha, Mr. Makarov, the kids in your guild are really interesting!”
Torch Endeavor looked at Evan, who exuded a faint murderous look, and Gray and Lyon, who turned their heads to look at the window, their bodies were constantly shaking and sweating profusely, and smiled awkwardly.
“Um, as long as you like it!”
Makarov looked at Torch Endeavor and smiled cautiously.
“In short, I still hope that your guild can act a little lighter. After all, sometimes, what your guild does is difficult even for us…” Torch Endeavor said, from his seat Standing up, he smiled and nodded at everyone, “Then I wish you all a pleasant journey, and I’m getting off the train too!”
“You go slowly…”
Makarov nodded slightly to Torch Endeavor, and watched him go to other compartments, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Grandpa Guild Master, was that man just now a very strong mage?”
“Could it be that…is he also one of the Ten Wizard Saints?”
Not long after Torch Endeavor left, Lyon and Gray pulled Makarov and kept asking.
“Heh, how should I say it?!” Makarov looked a little hesitant, as if he couldn’t make up his mind about how to describe Torch Endeavor. “It’s not about being strong or not. In terms of strength, that old gentleman probably isn’t an opponent of any of us here, right? But in terms of power and fame, it’s very troublesome…”
“Torch Endeavor, one of the members of the Magic Council, is also the warden of the Mage Prison! Probably one of the people our Guild Master don’t want to meet.” Just as Makarov was hesitating, Evan explained the situation.
“Member of the Magic Council?!”
Gray’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect the kind man just now to be a member of the Magic Council.
Along the way, Gray and Lyon listened to Makarov complaining about how vicious and inhumane the members of the Magic Council were, but now it seems…
The other party seems to be just an ordinary person, not as… scary as Makarov said?!
“The warden of the Mage Prison?!”
Lyon was also shocked by the identity of Torch Endeavor. Whether it was the identity of the other party’s prison warden or the identity of a member of the Magic Council, they were all existences that could shock the magic world, and the two identities came together. One can imagine the rights and status of the other party.
But what Lyon noticed more was that this person with such power was dressed so plainly, and the briefcase in his hand also looked like it had been used for a long time…
“As you can see, it’s a troublesome place! Fortunately, Mr. Endeavor is a neutral faction, Otherwise, there will be a battle between the prison and us Fairy Tail…”
Makarov kept rubbing his hands back and forth, looking hesitant, just as Lyon and Gray said, the other party was not only a member of the Magic Council, but also the warden of the Mage Prison, although he insisted, the other party didn’t dare to do anything to him, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, but Makarov still had to give the face that should be given.
“Grandpa Guild Master, aren’t we from the Fairy Tail Guild?!”
Gray and Lyon were shocked after hearing Makarov’s words. Even they could understand that the Magic Council and the Mage Prison are organizations that specifically target criminals!
“This… In short, there are many reasons.” Makarov didn’t try to explain. He thought that after Gray and the others arrived at Fairy Tail, they would probably be able to understand what kind of magic guild Fairy Tail is, and understand the many reasons he said.
“Boom…”
Just as Makarov and the others were chatting, the train suddenly trembled with a roar!
“Ice-Make~” Immediately, Ur activated the Molding Magic, freezing the entire railway coach, thus fixing the carriage where they are in place.
“What happened?!” Makarov frowned and looked around suspiciously.
Gray and Lyon also became alert…
Only Evan calmly used his Observation Haki, watching a group of uninvited guests from the Dark Magic Guild come to seek revenge on Torch Endeavor, and then kidnapped the other party, speaking very calmly. “Probably the enemy of that politician came to seek revenge?”
