Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist

A thousand paper cranes landed on a hill with rubble.

Xia Zuo and the other two climbed up the hill, waiting for the next move of the thousand paper cranes.

The thousand paper cranes made two"chi chirps" and another one poked its head out from the cracks in the rubble.

Seeing that it was Xia Zuo, the thousand paper cranes squeezed out their bodies and flew to Xia Zuo's palm to pass on information to Xia Zuo.

Under this rubble, there is a road leading directly to the underground canyon. Xia Zuo's instructions to find the frozen giant are there.

The mission of the two thousand paper cranes was completed, but this time Xia Zuo did not take back the life he gave like last time.

Xia Zuo could see that Urrutia was very interested in the two little ones. They were just two thousand paper cranes. If her companion liked them, she could give them to her.

Urrutia had received many gifts from Xia Zuo before, but they were all gifts from Aunt Shani. Today was the first time she received a gift from Xia Zuo alone.

Urrutia's cheeks flushed slightly as she took the thousand paper cranes handed over by Xia Zuo and felt the two little lives jumping in her palm.

""Xia Zuo, thank you."

The voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

But Xia Zuo still noticed something, and turned his head to lean towards Urrutia's face,"Were you talking just now?"

Looking at Urrutia's face getting redder and redder, Xia Zuo put his hand on her forehead, and feeling the slightly hot temperature, Xia Zuo felt that Urrutia was really sick.

Xia Zuo immediately took out the [Horse Talisman] and put it on Urrutia's hand, but strangely, Urrutia's complexion not only did not recover, but it turned red.

Xia Zuo was in trouble now. If she was not sick, then what was wrong?

Picking up Urrutia, Xia Zuo planned to send her back to the Devil Village to rest first

"I... I'm fine, Xia Zuo."

Urrutia struggled to break free from Xia Zuo's arms in panic. Seeing that Xia Zuo wanted to say something, Urrutia stretched out his hand to cover his mouth,"I'm really fine, just let me calm down for two minutes."

Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment by Urrutia's clear eyes, and nodded woodenly.

On the side, Gray, who was cleaning the gravel with an ice shovel, felt that his stomach was filled. He only ate half full in the Demon Village, so why did he feel full while working now?

Could it be because... A light bulb lit up above his head, and a gleam of light flashed in Gray's eyes. He understood!

It turned out that he had practiced to the point where he could fill his stomach by eating air! Although this air smelled a bit sour... it didn't hinder Gray's self-hypnosis.

Gray! You are really gifted. In the future, save the time for eating to practice, and then when you fight with that idiot Natsu, you can give it to Gray.

Thinking of the scene of Natsu kneeling on the ground and worshiping the half-naked him, Gray was full of energy, and the ice shovel in his hand was about to dance out phantoms

"Urrutia, is Gray crazy? The underground passage is over here, why did he dig under the hill?"

"Uh... maybe."

Ignoring his nominally stupid junior brother, Urrutia leaned his head on Xia Zuo's shoulder and said softly:"Xia Zuo, can you call me Lei from now on?"

"Hmm?"Xia Zuo was a little confused at first, but when he thought of the meaning of Urrutia's name: Uru's Tears, he immediately understood.

"No problem, Urrutia... er, I mean, tears."

Looking at Urrutia's smile, Xia Zuo felt that she was very strange today, but Xia Zuo couldn't tell what was strange about her.

Not daring to look at Urrutia again, Xia Zuo waved his hand towards the rubble outside the passage, and the power of the dragon blast instantly crushed the rubble into powder.

"Gray, stop digging blindly, hurry up and follow me.

The underground passage was not long. After walking for a while, Xia Zuo, who was at the front, saw a clear view.

Above the underground canyon, the rich purple moonlight almost condensed into substance, like morning dew, floating above a huge, hideous monster.

A group of people wearing the costumes of the Black Magic Cult surrounded the monster and chanted obscure spells.

"Deliora! Why is it here?!!"

Gray's exclamation startled Urrutia. Deliora! The demon of destruction that made his mother die with him!

Urrutia and Gray both looked at Xia Zuo. They didn't understand the real intention of Xia Zuo inviting them to participate in this S-level mission!

"Xia Zuo, you……"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three magic attacks came, and the appearance of Zero Emperor's three subordinates interrupted Urrutia's question.

The ice mist was everywhere, and the two masked figures looked quite mysterious under the cover of the mist.

Gray clenched his fists and looked at the two masked men,"It's you! The guys who tried to release Deliora!"

Zero Emperor, who was wearing a horn mask, had no chance to get angry. Gray, who was on the verge of anger, nodded to his three men,"Go down, you are not their opponents."

This voice!

Gray's eyes widened,"Who the hell are you! Take off the mask!"

Zero Emperor snorted coldly, without answering Gray, clearly looking down on him

"In that case, I'll beat you!"

Gray put his fists together, the magic circle rotated in front of him, and sharp ice spikes protruded from the ground.

Zero Emperor just waved his hand, and the same magic ice spikes as Gray's pierced out from the ground.

The two magics collided with each other, neither could do anything to the other, and finally turned into ice chips on the ground.

This fight confirmed Gray's guess. He seemed particularly angry, and his voice was almost a roar:"Leon! You bastard! Why did you disturb Uru's sleep!"

Zero Emperor took off the mask, revealing a young handsome man with white hair.

Leon threw the mask on the ground and stomped on it hard,"It's been a long time since we last met, Gray, you are still as weak as ever"

"I didn't expect that you were one of the three rats that came to the island. If I knew, I would kill you myself before you came to me."

Gray's face was gloomy,"Answer my question! Leon!"

Being questioned by Gray again and again, Leon's temper also rose,"Heh, what qualifications do you have to question me? If it weren't for you, a fool, how could Uru die!"

"I will release Deliora and kill it myself, avenge Uru and prove that I have surpassed Uru! I am the strongest ice wizard!"

Hearing Leon's words, Gray was angry and sad. Why did his senior brother become like this ?……

"Uru was indeed injured because of me, and in order to save us he had to use forbidden ice magic to seal the demon."

"It's all my fault, but even so, I will never let you destroy the magic that Uru used his life to cast!"

Anger and distress rose in Leon's eyes. He no longer paid attention to his stupid junior brother and planned to see what the other two bastards who followed him were like.

When Leon saw Urrutia behind Xia Zuo, he was stunned. The profile that was almost exactly the same as his master's made him unable to hide his surprise.

"Who are you!"

"She is the daughter of Uru, our senior sister, Leon."
