Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist

Time always goes by fast when traveling.

A small boat stopped at the shore.

Karna Island, a remote island far from the coastline, welcomed its guests.

The boat swayed slightly, and Xia Zuo, Urrutia and Gray left one after another.

Xia Zuo took out the commission form, which had a simple map on it, showing the address of the client on the island.

The environment along the way made Urrutia a little confused. How could this island be more primitive than the forest where she originally lived?

"Xia Zuo, the environment here... seems a bit weird?"

Xia Zuo, who was walking in front, stopped and said,"Well, I have discovered it."

Mountains, hills, plains, basins, it is hard to imagine that this island actually contains such complex and diverse landforms. The environment of this island seems to be pieced together by people.

Xia Zuo suspected that this island was created by magic, otherwise, with these landforms with huge differences, how could there be no sense of disobedience and intersection together.

On the way forward, Xia Zuo actually found some plants that were labeled as"extinct" by the outside world. They can't be seen everywhere here, but they can be said to be everywhere.

Stopping under a towering tree, Xia Zuo stroked the hard and ancient bark. According to his experience, this tree has a history of at least 300 years.

From this, it can be inferred that the history of Karna Island may be even longer.

"Interesting."

Xia Zuo suddenly became interested in the client, or rather the residents of this island.

With 700W and a golden star spirit key as a reward, they must not be simple residents. Is he a hidden master like Grandpa Robinlu?

After all, the old man in the state of thought body can't solve the"Nirvana", so he can only seek help from outsiders.

Will the commission of"lifting the curse" on Garna Island be a similar situation?

In his wild thoughts, the target location is already in front of him. A village appeared in Xia Zuo's field of vision, which shattered Xia Zuo's thoughts.

The wooden walls and two or three-story wooden watchtowers stood on the left and right sides of the wooden gate, and the guards of the watchtowers were dressed in animal skins that could be called primitive people.

Xia Zuo repeatedly confirmed on the map in disbelief, and then he confirmed that he had not gone to the wrong place. This village that looked very backward was the address marked by the client.

On the left and right watchtowers, two guards noticed three strangers.

"Hey! Who are you three?"

Xia Zuo looked at the guards' crude weapons made of sticks and sharp stones. Could such a backward place really afford the reward for an S-level mission?

"The three of us are wizards from Fairy Tail, and we are here to solve the curse on the island."

"Oh! You are the Fairy Tail! We have finally waited for you."

The two guards immediately changed their smiles and slid down from the watchtower. One ran to the village to report the news, and the other opened the gate to welcome Xia Zuo and the other two.

Before Xia Zuo could talk to the"primitive" who was receiving him, the person who reported the news came back.

""Three distinguished guests, please follow me into the village. The village chief has been waiting for a long time.""

Wow, quite polite," Xia Zuo complained in his heart while observing the village.

The villagers living here all looked like ordinary people, but Xia Zuo felt strangely familiar.

It was not until the [Devil's Note] he carried with him vibrated slightly that Xia Zuo realized that these villagers were not human beings at all, but demons with human appearance!

However, at present, these demons are too weak to be called demons, and their strength is no different from that of ordinary humans.

Is it because of the unknown curse that these demons have lost their power? So they took the risk to send a commission to the Magic Guild, hoping to lift the curse and restore their strength?

"Guests, we have arrived at the village chief's house."The humanoid demon who led the way bowed slightly to Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows,"Village chief? Isn't that the demon leader?

Well, let me meet this demon leader. If the demons really have any evil intentions, Xia Zuo doesn't mind sending them on their way in advance. [Devil's Notes] does not accept the souls of weak demons.

Entering the room, there was only a short, long-eared old man, dressed like other villagers, but with an extra animal skin cloak, probably to show the majesty of the village chief.

"Fairy wizard, I'm finally expecting you to come. I'm the village chief of this village."

The village chief pointed to the square wooden table in front of him and asked Xia Zuo and the other two to sit down and talk.

Xia Zuo was not polite. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank it all in one gulp.

The fragrance exploded on the tip of his tongue, and Xia Zuo's eyes lit up. Good tea!

When Xia Zuo poured tea for Urrutia and Gray, the village chief slowly opened his mouth and explained the curse they had encountered.

"Whenever the purple moon rises, the villagers and animals in our village will turn into ugly demons and will not return to human form until daytime."

"We initially thought we had a strange disease and asked more than a dozen doctors to come and see us, but they all said they had never seen such a disease."

"So we suspect we are cursed."

"I understand!" Gray tapped his right hand on his left palm, looking like he saw through everything."The truth is, there are demons lurking on the island, trying to turn you into demon followers."

"As expected of a Fairy Tail wizard, he found the problem right away!"

The village chief stood up excitedly and agreed with Gray's statement.

Xia Zuo was speechless. How did you become the village chief with the same IQ as Gray?

"I said, is there a possibility?"Xia Zuo knocked on the table and turned his attention back to himself,"In fact, your human identity is fake, and the appearance of a demon is your true self."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The old village chief immediately said excitedly that his eight generations of ancestors were all real human beings.���Could it be...Huh?

【Xia Zuo pressed the Sheep Talisman on the village chief's forehead. With the help of the Sheep Talisman, the village chief saw his own soul clearly, and his past memories washed over his brain. The old village chief's eyes were dull, and he kept muttering to himself:"What happened? Why did I forget that I am a demon?"

"Hey! Are you really a devil?!"

Gray immediately changed his face and took a fighting stance towards the old village chief,"Damn devil, you actually tried to deceive your uncle Gray, let me teach you a lesson!"

Xia Zuo stretched out his hand to stop Gray. This guy has a high combat IQ, but why is his brain not working well at other times?

Xia Zuo noticed that a trace of purple magic was forced out of the old village chief's body from behind his head, and the old village chief was completely awake because of this.

""I'm sorry, guests. My previous cognition seems to have been distorted by magic. I thought I was a human being."

According to the explanation of the village chief, their race is called"Devil Man". They have been living in seclusion on Karna Island for hundreds of years and have never hurt anyone.

Because the only ability of the devil man is to transform the ugly devil appearance into human appearance. But no matter which form, the power of the devils is no different from that of ordinary people.

And according to the village chief, the Magic Council also knows that there are devil men on Karna Island.

But because they are too weak and too honest, the Magic Council acquiesced to these devil men who have no ambitions and do not make trouble to reproduce and thrive on this overseas island.
