Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 362 Exchange
Erza is indeed a very principled person, and she did not accept "Beyond Z" before thinking about the price she would have to pay.

Even after everyone returned to the Fairy Tail Guild, Erza still hadn't figured it out. This matter was too difficult.

"We're back!"

Natsu yelled as he kicked the guild door open, which made Laci furious.

"Please push these two pieces of wood in for me!"

Laci threw a wooden hammer over and it hit Natsu on the head with a "bang". Natsu fell to the ground, covering his head and screaming.

"She meant to push the door open nicely."

Happy explains to Lucy that Lucky always likes to talk strangely.

“No need to explain to me.”

Lucy was speechless, she could understand what that meant.

"I see. I thought Lucy was stupid."

The harpy said in a mean tone, which made Lucy glare at him. This harpy always said mean things with an innocent expression.

"Calm down, Lucky, you should get used to these guys."

Mirajane smiled and comforted Laci. Laci, who had to make a bunch of furniture every day, was the backbone of "Fairy Tail" that could not be lost, otherwise the guild's maintenance expenses would go through the roof. Laci was the core figure of "Fairy Tail"!

"It's better not to get used to it. These bastards are getting more and more outrageous."

Laqi held her forehead with her hand helplessly. Who started this trend?
Can't you just open the door and come in? Break down the wall and destroy the door directly. Is there any normal person in this guild? !

But in fact, Laqi herself is not quite normal either. She likes to collect torture instruments. There are many of them in her dormitory, which is a bit scary.

"You guys really did something great! You actually destroyed the dark guild of Iron Forest and got rid of harm to the people!"

The return of Ke Ling and his companions caused a commotion in the guild. They destroyed a dark guild, which was definitely an impressive achievement.

And it is not some unknown small guild. The assassination guild "Iron Forest" is also notorious in the magic world.

Doing such a big thing can make "Fairy Tail" famous, and it is a very positive reputation. Maybe it can reverse some of the bad reputation that is spreading everywhere.

“It’s all because of this thing.”

Ke Ling was spinning the flute in his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"This flute is really ugly."

"It has an ominous feel to it."

"Have I seen this somewhere before?"

Everyone talked about it, but no one knew what it was until Lucy introduced this "Spell Song Flute" to everyone.

"So scary!"

Everyone was surprised, and many of them thought of the information they had read before. This thing was indeed very dangerous and evil.

Ke Ling looked at this LULLABY. This thing was indeed very interesting. It was not a purely dead object, but a demon.

Speaking of demons, we have to mention Zeref Dragneel, the "ancestor of dark magicians". Demons like LULLABY were mostly created by him.

Deliora, the demon who committed many evil deeds and killed Gray's parents, was frozen in the "Absolute Freeze" cast by Gray's master Uru at the cost of his life. He is also one of Jellal's works.

In this world, Jellal's name is like Voldemort in Harry Potter. For people, just mentioning his name is a taboo and makes people terrified.

Of course, Jellal is more advanced than Voldemort. The reason why Voldemort's name cannot be mentioned is that a tracking magic has been set up with his name. Anyone who reads his name will be tracked, and people are afraid of being visited by Death Eaters.

The name of Jellal became a taboo simply because people were afraid of him. Just mentioning the name made people scared, but in fact, nothing would really happen when the name was mentioned. Jellal was not so free to track anyone.

The legendary Zeref is the most violent, strongest, and most evil dark wizard in the history of the magic world. He can create terrible monsters with ease, and his magic power is very strong. A "Book of Zeref" has brought blood and gore to the world.

But in reality, there are only a handful of people who have met Jellal, and even fewer who are still alive. No one has actually seen him do evil. The reputation of this evil magician from more than four hundred years ago has been passed down from generation to generation, becoming more and more terrifying.

However, no matter what kind of person Jellal himself is, it is undeniable that the demons created by Jellal did kill many people, and he cannot shirk this responsibility.

"Ke Ling, you really brought back something extraordinary."

Looking at the LULLABY in Ke Ling's hand, Makarov frowned. Of course, he could tell the difference between the flute and the fake one.

Although this demon was not that troublesome for him, if a fight broke out here, the city of Magnolia would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, President. I can control it."

Ke Ling smiled. This thing was extremely obedient in his hand. It couldn't jump around at all because he had directly turned it into flesh and blood.

Although this flute is a demon, its essence is still just a flute, a prop used to release the "curse" technique.

It was Jellal who transformed and upgraded the flute, turning it into a demon that could release the "Cursed Song" and a demon that could transform into a giant dead tree monster, but it is still essentially a flute.

If this kind of entity fell into Ke Ling's hands, it would be like walking into a trap. Ke Ling controlled it with his flesh and blood and directly grasped it.

"This kind of thing is very dangerous, it's best not to touch it."

Makarov is very opposed to the dark arts, which is understandable, as the old man has always been upright and responsible.

In Makarov's opinion, Ke Ling is very powerful. If Ke Ling is addicted to black magic, it will definitely not be good news for the world. He has to admit that Ke Ling is the most talented person he has ever seen, and his speed in learning magic is jaw-dropping.

But the more talented and prodigy a person is, the more likely they are to go to extremes and go astray, because they are too curious and learn too quickly. By the time they realize it, they are already too deeply trapped.

Sometimes, being too talented is a danger. If a person is a little dumber, he might be able to live a better life.

In a sense, Jellal Dolaniger was unlucky because he was too talented. Jellal was kind by nature. He became like this only because he could not accept the death of his brother. Then he developed the "R System" and the "Eclipse Gate". The "R System" is a resurrection spell. By sacrificing one person's life and activating the "R System", another person can be resurrected.

As for the "Eclipse Gate", it is a device that can travel through time and return to the past.

I have to say that Jellal is really a genius, as he actually managed to create it, but he was also punished by a curse for it.

Anxelram, the god who controls life and death, cursed Zeref, and Zeref became "immortal", but only he himself was immortal.

This curse is called the "Curse of Contradiction". The more the cursed person respects life, the more he will release the energy of death, causing death to everything around him. On the contrary, if he does not respect the life of all things, he will no longer release the energy of death.

At the beginning, Jellal killed a lot of lives. In desperation, he could only exile himself, stay away from the world, and began to ignore everything.

This is the viciousness of the curse. If he continues to cherish life, he will kill everything he cherishes. If he no longer cherishes life, he will completely deny himself and become the person he hates the most.

The immortal Jellal is in this situation now. The self-exiled Jellal keeps creating demons just to kill himself. He wants to end his suffering, but he fails without exception. Those demons are doing evil everywhere, but Jellal, who no longer values ​​life, doesn't care about it.

In fact, Jellal did not completely deny his past self. In his heart, he was still a person who loved life, but he forced himself to be a person who ignored life most of the time.

To be honest, it's hard not to go crazy with Jellal in this mental state, and no wonder this guy would cause so many troubles.

"."

Makarov really wanted to propose sealing this LULLABY, but looking at Ke Ling's attitude, he knew that it would be better not to make this request, as Ke Ling obviously did not intend to hand it over.

'How about changing it?'
This idea suddenly appeared in Makarov's mind: what if he used a "super magic" to exchange for LULLABY with Ke Ling?
Out of a sense of responsibility and concern for the possible future, Makarov doesn't mind paying some price. He can teach Ke Ling the "Law of the Fairies" in exchange for this LULLABY.

"Ke Ling, follow me."

After making the decision, Makarov prepared to talk to Ke Ling alone.

"How about exchanging it for the goblin's law?"

The two went to the second floor and came to Makarov's president's office. Without any hesitation, Makarov made this suggestion.

"Super magic?"

Ke Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Makarov to care so much about LULLABY. Is this the sense of responsibility of a decent person? He must seal LULLABY before he feels at ease?
"Yes, I'm sorry, this is the only one I know out of the three."

Makarov smiled bitterly and shook his head. Of the three great super magics, he only knew this one.

"Ahem, although I really want to agree, President Makarov, I must admit that this LULLABY is already a part of me. Even if I give it to you and you seal it up, I will be able to find it. Even your seal may not be effective at all."

Makarov's honesty, sincerity, and sense of responsibility still touched Ke Ling. Although Ke Ling did not think that he was a decent person and was at most a chaotic good person, he still admired people like Makarov.

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Makarov was stunned. He felt that his ability to understand was challenged because he didn't understand what Ke Ling meant at all. What did "has become a part of me" mean?
"Come with me and I'll show you."

Ke Ling opened the shadow door and invited Makarov in. He planned to show Makarov this LULLABY.

Makarov did not hesitate and followed Ke Ling into the "shadow world".

In the "Shadow Realm", Ke Ling can display LULLABY at will. This dead wood demon is quite large and will cause considerable damage if released in Magnolia City.

Holding LULLABY in his hand, Ke Ling threw it, and the three-eyed wooden flute quickly turned into a huge three-eyed dead tree man. However, unlike what Makarov expected, this dead tree man did not show any signs of going berserk.

"This"

Seeing the dead tree man making a "yeah" gesture to her, Madam Makarov was stunned. No, this style of painting doesn't seem right? ! Isn't this the demon in the Book of Zeref? A demon that kills people with the "Cursed Song" and then devours their souls!
"That's what happened. There is no demon anymore. I can fully control this flute. The demon has been wiped out by me."

Ke Ling explained that the last person like this was Xiaoyou, whose body was a stone slab. However, Xiaoyou was much more useful than this demon, so Ke Ling kept him. Now Xiaoyou is still shining, so there is no need for this demon to exist.

"This, this, this"

Makarov was speechless, this completely overturned his understanding. In most people's cognition, demons cannot be killed and can only be sealed. Wow, Ke Ling not only killed the demon, but also directly controlled it completely.

"That's fine too."

Finally, Makarov compromised. Since things had come to this, he could only trust Ke Ling. There was no other way. He couldn't vent his anger on Ke Ling for something that hadn't happened yet, right?

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Ke Ling brought Makarov back to the Fairy Tail Guild.

"The goblin's law? What else can I exchange for it?"

Ke Ling looked at Makarov with a smile. Since Makarov had just spoken, of course he had to ask a question.

"Forehead"

Makarov looked embarrassed. How could he answer this? He had just come up with this idea on a whim. Now if you asked him to think of something else to exchange, he really couldn't think of it.

"Something of equal value?"

Makarov could only give a vague answer. He thought about it carefully and decided that if he could use the "fairy law" in exchange for the destruction of a demon, he would be willing to do so.

"Okay, I understand."

Ke Ling nodded. He liked people who were straightforward and clearly stated their prices. It was a mutual agreement and no one bullied or took advantage of anyone.

"That"

Ke Ling thought about it and almost asked what he should exchange for the "fairy's heart", but he stopped himself in the end. This might not be a good question.

After all, that was the body of the first president. It was different from a magic and the symbolic meaning was completely different.

In Makarov's heart, if there is something more important than the "Fairy's Heart" and something worth exchanging for the "Fairy's Heart", then it is probably only the members of the guild, right?
Makarov is still people-oriented. If the people are gone, what’s the point of leaving behind an empty shell of “Fairy Tail”?
The reason why he disbanded "Fairy Tail" later was because of this idea: the most important thing is to be alive.
