The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Urrutia, who was already familiar with Kira's character, ignored the exchanges between several people. He just looked at a big tree beside him thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to touch it, and said softly: "But, what Eric said is true. It makes sense! No matter how nutritious the land is in a forest, the trees must be taller and taller. It is almost impossible for all the trees to be as tall as you can see with the naked eye!"

She is a user of the Arc of Time, and her sense of time is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Jellal nodded silently and said, "That's true! Moreover, since I entered here, I have always felt like being watched!"

Kira turned around suddenly and said, "You've done too many bad things, so you're becoming suspicious, right?"

"..."

Jellal pretended not to hear Kira's complaint, shook his head and replied, "Probably not!"

Before he could say a word, Kira suddenly punched a big tree next to him.

boom!

The fist blast exploded, blowing through the big tree. Two holes as big as heads appeared one after the other. The smoke and dust stirred up, sawdust flew everywhere, and the bark scattered in all directions.

At the same time, an object flew out of the tree and drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

Snap!

The thing fell heavily to the ground, and only had time to emit a few sharp and piercing beeps before it completely died down and there was no more movement.

Kira made another move with his right hand, and the invisible gravitational field was immediately released, sucking everything on the ground into his hand.

Everyone was initially startled by Kira's sudden hand, but the subsequent changes made them even more confused. They knew something was wrong, and they all came over to look at the items Kira had taken from the tree.

"What is this?!"

I saw a fist-sized metal ball lying quietly in Kira's hand!

"What's this?"

"It looks like a mechanical creation..."

"There really is something weird here!"

"Kira, how did you find out?"

Several people talked to each other and kept talking about the doubts in their hearts, but these were not important. What was important was that the way they looked at Kira had changed.

One second, they thought Kira was a lunatic with a brain problem, but the next moment, they discovered that their new boss was actually quite powerful!

After all, no one here except him found anything hidden in the tree.

Kira was secretly happy that her person was showing off in front of him, but his face was calm: "Calm down! These are all basic operations! You boss, I am very capable!"

Then he looked at the white metal ball in his hand. The material was unknown, but its texture was hard and its function was unknown.

After thinking for two seconds, Kira turned back to Jellal and said, "The feeling of being watched you just mentioned probably stems from it."

"There is about one such metal ball for every ten trees here, and they can be perfectly integrated with the tree where they are, and can move freely inside without damaging the tree. Even I am the first to see such a strange metal material. See you next time!”

When Jellal heard this, he understood: "It seems that the people hiding here buried these metal balls in the trees to monitor the actions of the intruders."

Urrutia smiled and said: "In other words, our arrival has been discovered?"

"If nothing else, yes!"

"What should we do?" Kongo looked at Kira and asked: "Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, do we still need to take action?"

Kira looked at her doubtfully: "Take action? Take what action?"

"..."

"We are just an ordinary adventure team!"

Kira lied without changing his expression, "This time it was because I heard that this place is very dangerous and mysterious, and even the Senate didn't dare to go deep into it, so I came here to take the risk and brought the Magic Crystal of Imagery to record it."

As he spoke, he took out the magic crystal and put it around his neck, looking like an adventurer. Kira is familiar with this process. He did this before joining Fairy Tail.

"As the leader of the adventure team, it's normal for me to know some magic, right?"

Several people were stunned for a moment, but Urrutia reacted quickly: "I am the vice-captain of the adventurer team."

Jellal calmly continued: "I am the team's staff officer."

Now others finally understood that the important thing is not the adventure team, but the current position in this adventure team, which is their future position in the new organization!

The key is that now they can still make their own decisions, but there is no such store after this village!

Thinking of this, several people looked at Urrutia and thought to themselves: 'Good guy, we obviously joined together, but this woman wants to be the future vice president as soon as she opens her mouth? Why don't you become the president's wife? ’

Several people's minds were racing and they were determined to immediately arrange a position for themselves such as "Intelligence Director", "Image Spokesperson" and "Financial Manager".

"Then I'll do it..."

Yet, how could someone allow them to be opportunistic?

Sensing that several people looked abnormal, Kira interrupted directly: "You are all ordinary members of the team! Whether you can be promoted to a senior member depends on your performance in this operation!"

It's not that easy to take advantage of the situation!

Everyone felt regretful: "Damn it! It's still a step too late..."

They all decided to read through the "masterpiece" that Kira mentioned yesterday that he published after returning this time, and gain a deeper understanding of the new boss's thoughts.

Kira would be very happy if she knew what Eric was thinking, especially after Eric saw the book "I Want to Hear Your Voice" he wrote.

At this moment, Kira noticed that the temperature of the metal ball in his hand was rising rapidly. At the same time, a very unpleasant sense of crisis came to his heart.

? ? ! !

Kira reacted immediately, turned around, and threw the metal ball far away under everyone's surprised eyes.

Phew—pop!

With a soft sound, the metal ball fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground. A few seconds later...

boom! ! !

The metal ball exploded violently, and the wind blew around it, blowing vegetation, hair, and cloaks around.

After the explosion, the air flow gradually subsided. Kira looked up and saw that there was only a piece of scorched earth with a radius of one meter. Apart from that, there was not even a metal shaving the size of a fingernail.

Kira breathed out: "That's good now. I originally wanted to study this metal ball, but now I want to study a ball."

"What's going on? Even if we are under the other party's surveillance now, can they still control these metal balls from a long distance?"

Jellal shook his head and said: "Probably not! I guess this is just a timing function on the metal ball. As long as it leaves the tree for a certain period of time, it will turn into a bomb."

At this time, Kira smiled again and said: "If you can create this kind of magic prop, it seems that there is a very good blacksmith opposite!"

Before this, he had never seen a prop master who could compare with him. This kind of talent must be recruited to work for us!

Now that the clues are gone, Kira can only move forward with a few people.

This time, his target is water. Maybe people hiding in the dark can skip eating, but they can't skip drinking water, right?

Kira let go of his perception, and the magic power dispersed around him. Every plant and tree within a radius of hundreds of meters immediately appeared in his mind. Densely packed and weak magic power appeared in the range of perception. He knew that it was buried in the trees. Metal ball.

Judging from the information currently known, these metal balls have two functions. One is to monitor the actions of intruders; the other is to interfere with the use of magic. This is the reason why the sounds Eric heard are disordered.

However, this interference is not strong, it is more like an additional function. As long as there is enough magic and the magic is stable enough, this interference can be ignored directly.

This situation is like Kira making a magic pen and discovering after making it that the pen can write novels by itself.

Half an hour later, a lake appeared in front of everyone.

Magical transportation is not easy to use in a place like this, so they all walk. The others are fine, but Sorano has begun to complain that her legs are sore.

"Let me tell you, are all of you Celestial Magicians so physically weak?"

"Stop talking! I'm a girl!"

"So what? Urrutia too!"

"Hmph! She..."

"I think you'd better look back before you say anything else."

Korano turned around and found Urrudia staring at her with an unkind expression: "What's wrong with me?"

"No...nothing...you are great!"

Since some people in the team couldn't walk, and they happened to arrive at such a place, based on the idea of ​​"I've come here, even if I can't find the research institute, I can't just go there in vain, just treat it as a trip", Kira With a wave of his hand, he announced to rest where he was.

If it weren't for the bright sun now, Kira would have even wanted them to build a tent, make a fire, and camp on the spot.

Of course, the distribution method of "boys setting up tents and girls cooking" is a no-brainer, and Urrutia forgets it. The food cooked by Sorono is not as good as the takeout from the Celestial Spirit World.

What's more, she doesn't have the key now!
