Fairy Tail: Start by accepting the Royal Knights

The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday.

July 4, X777

The Heartfilia House——

Rose stood alone at the gate, which slowly opened. Ross came to visit Jiude today.

Ross also saw a long-lost person, Auguste.

Auguste brought Grame here, and Brandish was left in the palace of the Albares Empire.

The last time Auguste saw Brandish, he thought she had good talent, so he decided to teach her magic. He also knew about the solar eclipse plan on July 7, so he sent Grame here.

"Mr. Auguste, long time no see." Ross felt that Auguste's whole spirit was better.

"Long time no see." Auguste nodded kindly.

"Ross, please sit down." Jiude stood up and motioned for Ross to take a seat. Leila also greeted him.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ross entered the main topic of today's visit.

"Mr. Jiude, I would like to ask if the keys and contractors of the zodiac have been collected?" Ross looked at Jiude and asked.

"Yes, they have all been found." Jiude nodded quickly.

In fact, Jiude was also very fortunate. If it weren't for Auguste and Ross, Grame would really be difficult to find.

"That's good." Ross just needed to make sure that the keys were collected. He didn't intend to interfere with other things. The zodiac keys and the like were of no use to him.

Ross, who got the definite answer, had lunch at the invitation of Jiude and Leila, and then Ross said goodbye.

[Do you want to take Wendy away in advance? ]

The only thing Ross could be sure of was that Wendy would fly to the vicinity of Nirvana's village. After all, the demon cat's inn that Robinlu transformed later was nearby. With Jesmon and the three sword spirits, it should not be difficult to find.

If it doesn't work, just stay there and wait.

Makarov should meet Natsu on the way back from the regular meeting, so Ross doesn't need to worry about it.

Ross flew back to Magnolia's house thinking about it.

The red maple trees have grown a lot taller in the past few months. Ross likes these trees more and more. He didn't let Urtia intervene. He thinks it's fun to watch the trees grow taller slowly.

[Let's go and bring Wendy back. Although Robin is good to Wendy, he is just a spirit after all. 】

Robin also has a spirit existence similar to Mavis because of his strong magic power.

Ross decided to go to the east forest. Urtia and the others are still practicing here. The four of them just came back from the mission a few days ago. Ross took a few S-level missions this time and took them to practice. Finally, he didn't have to watch them.

"Eluza and Kagura will continue to practice these two days. I need to go out." Since I have decided to find Wendy, I have to tell them.

"Do you need help?" Urutia felt strange about Ross coming back and leaving.

"No, no need to fight. You can think that he will be back soon, just like I went to visit Mr. Jiude today." Ross waved his hand, indicating that the three of them should not worry.

.......

On the evening of July 6, X777

Ougast did not participate in the opening of the Eclipse Gate. He left before.

Grame also followed him back and returned the Aquarius key to Leila. After all, Brandish did not learn celestial magic, and followed August to learn other magic.

Ross was waiting near the palace early in the morning. When Natsu and the other five passed through the Eclipse Gate, they turned into streams of light and dispersed. Ross found the highest point and received Jesmon and waited early in the morning.

Ross was not sure when the Eclipse Gate would open, so he waited here early.

"Is it a lunar eclipse?"

"It's really a disgusting moon."

Krocus, the moon in the sky is different from usual. Citizens walking on the street have noticed it and talked about it.

Lantern Palace - Melukelias

Layla Heartfilia collected all twelve keys and opened the Eclipse Gate. The difference was that this time she didn't have to sacrifice her own life force to open the Eclipse Gate.

Thomas, who had just boasted to Layla that this door was impossible to open, pointed at the door and trembled.

"The Eclipse Gate is open! The gate that has been passed down from generation to generation in our royal family is actually open!" King Thomas E. Fiore, who was wearing a cloak, was shocked and even broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hu~Hu~Hu~" It took Layla a lot of magic to open the Eclipse Gate. She was panting while propping up her legs.

"Someone came out of the door!" Thomas E. Fiore pointed at the Eclipse Gate, and a figure with a ponytail and a cloak slowly walked out of the Eclipse Gate.

"Where is this?

What year is it now?" Anna Heartfilia asked Leila as she walked out of the door.

"It's X777." Leila answered Anna even though she was very tired.

"After 400 years, we succeeded!"

"Where are the children? There are five children who came with me." Anna looked around anxiously in the underground palace, but she didn't see Natsu and the others.

"I don't know if it's five children, but when I opened the door, five beams of light flew out. Look, the ceiling was pierced through." Thomas E. Fiore said with a serious face, pointing to the five holes that appeared above.

Anna looked up along his hand, shocked and speechless.

"Arcadeos, look, there are five meteors." Princess Emerald E. Fiore, who was still a little girl at the moment, and Arcadios were on the platform at this time.

"It's really strange, don't meteors usually fly from the bottom to the top? And there are five colors. "Arcadeos looked at the five streams of light and felt very strange.

"Wait a minute, I have no idea what you are talking about?" Thomas E. Fiore looked at the family letter left by the two 400 years ago, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Does that mean you are from 400 years ago?" After Anna explained, Thomas E. Fiore realized that the Eclipse Gate can only be opened in an era full of magic power, and its function is to travel through time.

"Okay, it's my job from now on, Leila, you and your family can live happily."

"Miss Anna, what are you going to do now?" Thomas E. Fiore asked.

"Things have to be done step by step. The first thing is to find the five lost children. "Anna held up a finger.

Natsu and Gajeel were fine, but Wendy, Sting and Rogue were still too young, and she had to find them as soon as possible.

Outside the palace, Anna was saying goodbye to Leila.

"Until everything can be told..." Anna turned around and said.

"Yeah, yeah, everything has to be kept secret, right? I get it." Leila smiled and nodded to the ancestor.

Before Anna came out, Rose had already discovered five streams of light breaking through the wall of the palace, in five colors, and Rose followed the blue one and flew away.

"Sure enough, it's not far from Nirvana. "Rose followed the blue light all the way here. Wendy fell about a few hundred kilometers away from the Wasi Forest.

Wendy fell in the woods. When Ross found her, she was still sleeping soundly.

She had short blue hair, a white short-sleeved shirt with a yellow collar, blue shorts, and a pair of red boots. She was sleeping soundly.

Rose spread out the sleeping bag in his backpack, gently lifted Wendy up, and put her in the sleeping bag. It was okay not to cover her with a blanket in this weather in July, so Ross found a thin blanket to help Wendy cover her.

Wendy slept very deeply, and she didn't wake up even when Ross picked her up and covered her with a blanket.

There was a fire. Ross had felt it when he came just now. There was no particularly strong existence in this forest. There was no need to keep watch. Even if there was, he would react. He just leaned against a tree and fell asleep.
