Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist

Late at night, in cities, villages, and the wild... the purple light passed through one road after another like lightning, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning that dissipated in the air.

Looking at Erza sitting in the co-pilot of the magic car, her expression can only be described as dumbfounded. She was clearly saying goodbye to Makarov outside the conference hall a minute ago, but the next minute, the nights of countless cities passed by the car window like the wind. What amazed Erza even more was that the magic car did not show any overload at such a terrible speed.

As the owner of the magic car, Erza knew the performance of her car. The best-selling composite magic four-wheeled car in the Kingdom of Fiore was strong and durable, which was its only advantage, but it could never withstand the series of problems brought about by such a speed. Erza looked outside the car, and a faint purple light enveloped the magic car. It was this power that protected people and cars from being torn into pieces by the extreme speed.

The source of the purple light was the [Rabbit Talisman] that Xia Zuo put into the energy box.

Erza looked at Xia Zuo who was concentrating on driving. With the [Rabbit Talisman], Xia Zuo could probably appear anywhere on this continent if he wanted.

Thinking of the fact that Xia Zuo always acted alone in the past, and the number of commissions he accepted throughout the year was extremely limited, and the strength that even Laxus was concerned about.

Erza became more and more curious about Xia Zuo.

What exactly does he do in his daily life? Is he really an archaeologist?

Her lips slightly opened but no sound came out, and Erza still did not raise the doubts in her heart.

Everyone has their own secrets, which can be an object or an experience. No one will show their secrets to others before letting go of their grudges.

Erza herself is the same. Erza covered her right eye with her hand. Erza's original right eye had long been blind, so she replaced it with a magic artificial eye. But even though it has been replaced with an artificial eye, why does the unforgettable pain still linger on her heart like a thorn in the flesh whenever she thinks of that memory?

The shadow of a tall tower appeared in Erza's mind, making her involuntarily embed her fingers deeply into the car seat cushion

"Erza, are you not feeling well?"

Seeing that Erza's expression was not right, Xia Zuo immediately stepped on the brakes and the magic car stopped smoothly. One of the advantages of the [Rabbit Talisman] is that it can stop and start at the same time, and there will be no embarrassing situation of not being able to brake.

Xia Zuo's concerned inquiry brought Erza back to her senses. She woke up as if from a dream and noticed the concerned eyes in the back seat. She quickly waved her hand and said,"I'm fine. I was just thinking about something just now. I'm sorry for making everyone worried."

"I'm glad you're okay. Have a snack to calm your nerves." Shani knew Erza very well, so she took out a snack from somewhere and handed it to her.

Erza declined politely. She had just eaten a lot in the conference hall and now she couldn't eat any more.

Shani handed the snack to Lucy beside her, but Lucy also refused, saying that she wanted to keep in shape.

Gray and Happy were not interested either.

"What? It seems that I am the only one who can enjoy it."

Xia Ni, who looked regretful, finally couldn't hold back her upward smile and stuffed the snack into her mouth.

Xia Zuo looked at his greedy mother and couldn't hold back any longer. He complained,"Mom, don't eat anymore. You will get fat."

"Stupid son, when have you ever seen your mother fat?"

Xia Ni glared at Xia Zuo, then took out a plate of dessert from somewhere and ate it with satisfaction.

You said you don't know space magic! There can't be a four-dimensional pocket in the world!

Xia Zuo suppressed the idea of studying his mother and complained wildly in his heart.

Since Erza was fine, Xia Zuo stepped on the accelerator and set off again.

Just as the magic car was about to accelerate, a strong engine sound rang out.

""Yohoo!"

A red magic motorcycle stopped next to the magic four-wheeler. The person on the motorcycle wore glasses and a chin guard, had yellow hair in a cockscomb shape, and a long and pointed nose, which made him look like a ghost.

The motorcyclist twisted the handlebars, and the modified engine made a loud noise that was annoying. Seeing the people on the magic four-wheeler, they looked like they had seen something strange.

"Wow! Your classic car looks great. It can be faster than a turtle, right?"

Faced with this blatant provocation, Xia Zuo endured it because the car was not his, but Erza could not endure it because it was her car.

"Asshole, what do you mean!"

""Ah? What did you say?"

The motorcyclist deliberately turned up the engine sound to cover up Erza's voice, pretending that he didn't hear it, and then showed Erza a provocative smile, and drove out at high speed.

Leaving behind a pile of smoke and dust, Xia Zuo and others covered their mouths and noses.

Erza pulled Xia Zuo over and sat in the driver's seat. Xia Zuo, who moved to the co-pilot, knew that Erza's temper had risen, and he didn't intend to dissuade her. It would be better to spend some time to teach that ghost fire motorcycle a lesson.

"Erza, chase after her boldly!"Xia Zuo gave a thumbs up. Erza nodded and stepped on the accelerator hard. The magic car took off and shot out like a meteor flying close to the ground.

The motorcyclist who was driving his car all the way suddenly heard a whoosh beside his ear and turned his head to look. His eyes were full of disbelief.

The old car that he laughed at could actually keep up with his modified high-speed motorcycle!

"Hey, your car is so slow, why are you here to make a living?"

Xia Zuo, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked disdainful and raised his middle finger to the motorcyclist, making an international friendly gesture.

"Humph, then let me show you what real speed is."

"Hell Motorcycle Show!"

A magic circle emitting red light passed through the motorcycle and the rider, revealing the identity of the wizard.

As the motorcyclist's magic was activated, the magic motorcycle suddenly doubled its speed and immediately surpassed the magic four-wheeler.

Xia Zuo was surprised. What! It's faster than my [Rabbit Talisman]!

No, I don't allow such a person to exist in Ishgar.

Xia Zuo opened the energy box and began to inject magic power into the [Rabbit Talisman]. The purple light danced on the talisman and almost turned into a substantial mist to wrap the magic car.

The motorcyclist, who was still proud of his faster speed, saw the four-wheeler turned into purple light surpassing him in a blink of an eye.

But this time, the motorcyclist couldn't catch up.

Seeing the four-wheeler completely disappear from sight, the motorcyclist stopped the car, slipped and fell off the motorcycle.

"I can’t even see the taillight… Why…"

The motorcyclist held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground with a look of despair.

In the dark shadows, a red-haired man in a white coat with a purple venomous snake wrapped around his arm watched all this.

"What happened? Our [Six Demon Generals]'s 'Laser' Lisa actually lost in the speed contest."

"It’s really… so interesting."
