Fairy Tail: Marrying the Dragon Slayer Queen Irene at the Beginning

Chapter 244: Fairy Tail Family Recognition Meeting! Natsu's Brothers!

At the moment when the orange-haired young man and the black-haired boy were facing each other, Lisanna, who had finished her work, walked out of the guild...

She looked at the two people standing outside the gate, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Excuse me, are you here to post a mission in our Fairy Tail Guild?!"

"I'm really sorry, our Magister Guild's activities for today have ended!"

"If you want to be assigned a task, please come back at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning! I will be here on time, waiting for you two."

Lisanna said as she bowed deeply towards the orange-haired young man and the black-haired boy, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"No, I'm not here to post quests for your guild~"

"I'm here to join your wizard guild, Fairy Tail~"

In response, the orange-haired young man smiled and shook his head.

"Eh?!"

"Are you also a magician?"

When Lisanna heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at the bandages wrapped around the orange-haired young man and thought that he was bullied by some gangsters or robbers, so he came to the Fairy Tail Guild to seek help? !

"Mage?"

“Well, that’s not wrong…”

"Barely so."

The orange-haired young man was stunned, thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Forehead……"

"Then please wait a moment. I'll give you the form and you can register."

Lisanna said as she hurried into the Fairy Tail Guild. She began to carefully search for the application form for membership at the guild's bar.

Well, because the Fairy Tail Guild is really famous in the Ishgar Continent, especially in the dark magic world...

Therefore, there are always some magicians from dark guilds who come here to visit, which gives Makarov, the president, a headache.

Makarov didn't understand why the guys who wanted to join their Fairy Tail Guild were all a bunch of bad guys who did all kinds of evil...

Everyone in Ishgar: "Yes, Mr. Makarov, what is the reason? As the leader of the most powerful dark magician guild in Ishgar, Fairy Tail, don't you know the reason?"

cough cough...

In this regard, in order to prevent these evil guys from joining Fairy Tail...

Makarov and Preshito jointly invented a form specifically for testing the character of applicants.

"No need to bother."

"Just bring your guild's seal..."

"I was introduced by Ian."

"By the way, there should be a magician named Natsu Dragneel in your guild, right?! I'm his brother..."

In response to this, the orange-haired young man had entered the lobby of the Fairy Tail Guild at some point. He stopped Lisanna, who was still looking for the membership application form, and directly stated his identity.

Yes, this man wrapped in bandages like a mummy is Natsu's sworn brother, the son of the 'Flame Dragon King' Igneel...

He boasts that his strength is equal to, or even surpasses, that of Ignia, the 'Flame Dragon' of Acnologia who was at his 'peak' four hundred years ago.

Of course, after Ignia was taught a lesson by Ian, he has become much more obedient now.

"Eh?!"

"Are you Natsu's brother?"

Lisanna was stunned. After looking the young man in front of her up and down, she couldn't see any similarities between him and Natsu.

"Yes."

"I am the child of Natsu's adoptive father, the 'Flame Dragon King' Igneel..."

"Just call me Igonia."

Ignia paused for a moment, and after some thought, he decided that he should keep a low profile in the Fairy Tail Guild and not let the mortal in front of him address him as 'Flame God'.

Igonia: "I am truly an approachable god."

"Ignir's child?!"

"so……"

"Are you... a dragon?"

Lisanna was dumbfounded, her voice trembling slightly, not sure if her guess was correct.

"Shh..."

"Low-point."

"Don't be so ostentatious. Just know it in your heart."

Ignia patted Lisanna's shoulder gently, indicating that Lisanna didn't need to be shocked.

"Forehead……"

"Since you are Natsu's brother, there is no need for the membership test or application. I will just stamp it on you."

Lisanna said as she took out the seal and placed it on Ignia's shoulder.

"Well, thank you for your help, little human girl. I'll see you tomorrow."

Igonia looked at the seal on his left arm that looked like a flying fairy or a dancing phoenix. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He patted Lisanna's little head, turned around, and strode away.

Well, Igonia decided that when he decided to exterminate all of humanity, he could spare the life of the kind-hearted little girl, Lisanna.

But the prerequisite is that the other party can survive the dragon transformation magic and stand in front of him alive.

"I didn't expect that Natsu's brother would come to the Fairy Tail Guild. From the looks of him, he seems to be a good person!"

Lisanna touched her head that Ignia had just touched. She could feel the warmth on her forehead, which showed that the other person's body temperature was very high, definitely not that of an ordinary person...

"Um, could you please put the seal of the Fairy Tail Guild on me?"

At this moment, the black-haired boy also came to Lisanna and asked.

"May I ask you are?"

Lisanna said, taking out the registration form.
"I am Zeref Dragneel, Natsu Dragneel's brother..."

"Unlike that rude guy from before, I'm Natsu's biological brother."

Yes, the young man was none other than Jeref himself. He looked at Lisanna with a smile and introduced himself softly.

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, Lisanna stood there in a daze.

"Natsu's biological brother?!"

"Wait, why does the name Jeref sound familiar?"

"By the way, what is the name of that famous black magician?"

Lisanna was stunned for a moment, and a brainstorm started in her mind.

"Excuse me, are you listening to what I'm saying?"

Zeref still looked at Lisanna with a smile on his face.

However, if you look closely, you can see that Jellal's eyes are filled with a different kind of indifference than that of ordinary people, as if Jellal is not interested in anything in the world.

However, it was precisely Jellal's indifference and cynicism that made the Ankselram curse in his body stable now.

As long as Zeref gives up all love, the so-called curse of the god Anxelram is nothing more than a BUFF that can grant people "eternal life".

However, Jellal has no interest in such 'eternal life'.

"okay……"

"Okay, I know."

Lisanna took a long time to calm down, and finally she realized what was going on. She put the Fairy Tail Guild emblem on Zeref in front of her.

"grateful."

Zeref looked at the Fairy Tail emblem on the back of his hand. He smiled at Lisanna, then turned around and disappeared without a trace like a 'ghost'.

"Natsu's sworn brother and biological brother are here..."

"And with my help, he joined the Fairy Tail Guild."

"Is this really okay?!"

Lisanna stared in a daze at the direction where Zeref and Ignia left, muttering quietly.

"It's okay!"

"Lisanna, you did a great job..."

Just when Lisanna frowned, Mavis, the first president of the Fairy Tail Guild, who was always elusive, quietly came to Lisanna's side. She patted Lisanna's shoulder gently and smiled.

"First Generation."

Lisanna turned her head and smiled sweetly at Mavis.

"Hmm~"

Mavis nodded cheerfully, and stared into the distance with her usual dull eyes, thinking to herself, "Zeff, you disappeared for decades, but suddenly appeared in the Fairy Tail Guild and joined it. What on earth is the reason for this?!"

Mavis knew clearly in her heart how dangerous Jeref was.

"Anyway, we need to remind Makarov and Preshito..."

Mavis thought so, and after comforting Lisanna with a few words, she disappeared from the spot.

Ever since.

The next day, early morning.

The three founders of the Magician's Guild Fairy Tail, Volod Shinken, Preshito Gelberg, and Yuri Dolea, gathered in front of the guild gate.

"So, why did Mavis suddenly summon us?

"The Magic Council ERA still has many matters waiting for us to deal with!"

"We can't just throw all the recent things to Haiberion and Urufheim, right?"

Although Yuri is old, he still has a bad temper, like thunder and lightning, and he always looks impatient.

"I don't know~"

"But Mavis summoned us, so it must be something very important."

Volod Sinken still had a smiling face. Ever since he had mastered the 'green' magic to the point that he had transformed himself into a tree, his personality had become more and more Buddhist.

"It's ok."

"In the Magic Council ERA, besides Haiberion and Urufheim, there are also Jellal and Jura who can help."

"For us, Mavis's matter is the most important..."

Preshito interrupted Yuri's complaints. In his opinion, nothing in the world was more important than Mavis.

Well, Preshito is always a licker...

As I said, those who lick the dog will not die well.

By the way, Jellal and Jura, under the guidance of Preshito and others, have now reached the critical moment to the "King" realm...

Therefore, they put aside everything, including the affairs of their respective Magister Guilds, and concentrated on practicing in the Magic Council ERA and helping the Council with its work.

"Hey! Preshito, Yuri and Volod, you are here~"

Just when Preshito and the other two were gathered outside the gate of the Fairy Tail Guild, Mavis' figure slowly appeared in front of everyone, smiling and greeting them.

"Mavis called my name first..."

"The person Mavis values ​​the most is me!"

The corners of Preshito's mouth curled up, and he knew that Mavis was special to him.

Well, the biggest characteristic of a bootlicker is that he knows how to conquer himself.

"Morning, Mavis~"

"Mavis, long time no see."

Just as Preshito was thinking, Yuri and Volod came forward and greeted Mavis.

"Yeah! Long time no see."

Mavis nodded slightly with a smile on her face.

"Mavis..."

"Preshito, Yuri and Volod, long time no see."

Just as Mavis was greeting Preshito and the others, a dark figure appeared in front of them without anyone noticing, also with a smile on his face, and greeted everyone.

"Um?!"

"You, you are..."

When that person appears...

Everyone present, including Mavis, was in an uproar.

"Dark Mage Zeref?!"

Among them, Preshito even took a defensive posture. While he was sweating profusely, his eyes wandered back and forth between Mavis and Jellal.

"Jeff..."

As for Volod and Yuri, they were also shocked by the appearance of Zeref. They wondered why this person, who was considered a magic beginner and mentor to them, came here? !
"Jeff, what are you doing here?"

Mavis also looked serious.

"Ha ha……"

"Don't be so nervous. Strictly speaking, we are a family now."

"So, I won't do anything bad to you."

"Of course, the curse on me has been under control quite well recently..."

Zeref chuckled, and in front of everyone, he showed the Fairy Tail seal on the back of his hand, which was printed last night, and whispered: "By the way, look, I am also a Fairy Tail magician now! Speaking of which, the establishment of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail is also due to my contribution~"

"Zeff, I didn't agree to you joining Fairy Tail."

Mavis's brain was constantly thinking. She did not acknowledge Zeref's identity as a Fairy Tail member, but she did not directly reject it either. She just said that she had not agreed yet.

"Haha, I told you, don't be nervous..."

"I came to the Fairy Tail, the Magician's Guild, not to look for you guys."

"I just want to see my brother in person!"

"After all, we haven't seen him for four hundred years. He should have grown up by now."

Zeref waved his hand and explained to Mavis and others why he came to Fairy Tail this time.

"Your brother?!"

Mavis was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have thought of something.

Well, Mavis naturally knew the relationship between Zeref and Natsu.

"younger brother?"

As for the affairs of the Fairy Tail Guild, they basically do not manage it. Volodymyr and Yuri, who have been busy working for the Magic Council ERA, are confused. They don't know that Zeref has a younger brother.

"That's... Natsu Dragneel." Zeref said, revealing his brother's name.

"Who called me?!"

It was just as Jellal finished his words...

An excited figure with a pink hedgehog head and a dragon scale scarf around his neck came late.

"coming."

Zeref looked at the person who came and a smile flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Natsu had grown very well over the years.

"boom!!"

Just when Zeref was about to take the initiative to greet Natsu...

A fireball suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly in front of everyone.

The man who descended from the sky had flames wrapped around his body, long orange hair, and a black tattoo that symbolized the sun. He looked unbridled and unruly.

"Here we come, brother!"

After the young man descended from the sky, he landed directly in front of Natsu, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that your body has grown very strong?! You really deserve to be my brother. If it were you, after you mastered the dragon slayer magic and fully transformed into a dragon, you could become a powerful helper for me."

"Who the hell are you?!"

Natsu asked in confusion as he looked at the young man in front of him with long orange hair.

"Who am I, you ask?"

"But I'm your brother!"

"Can't you feel it? The flame I use has the same origin as yours..."

Yes, that young man was Ignia. He revealed his identity in front of everyone and released a ball of fire with a wave of his hand.

"My brother?!"

"This flame is... the feeling of Ignir."

"Are you Ignir's child?"

Natsu looked at the burning and jumping flames in Ignia's hands, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in disbelief.

"correct answer."

"I am the child of the 'Flame Dragon King' Ignir, and I am also the absolutely powerful one who has troubled the world of Eslanden for a full hundred years..."

"So much so that you magicians have listed him as a target for the Hundred Years Mission! Standing at the top of the northern continent of Kiltina, one of the dragons worshipped by countless creatures, the 'Flame Dragon' Ignia."

Ignia put on a sinister smile and said his name directly.

"'Flame Dragon' Igonia?!"

"One of the targets of the Centennial Mission..."

Natsu froze in place upon hearing that.

"Damn it, this guy got there first."

At the same time, Zeref looked at Ignia, who had recognized Natsu before him, and his eyes twitched slightly.

"Natsu, I finally see you."

In response to this, Zeref stopped dragging his feet and walked over to Natsu, calling his name softly.

"You again?"

Natsu looked at the boy in front of him, whose face was somewhat similar to his, with confusion in his eyes.

"I am your elder brother, your biological brother."

"My name is Zeref Dragneel."

Zeref smiled and told his brother Natsu his name.

"Jeref?!"

Natsu's eyes sparkled, and he looked at the black-haired boy in front of him in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.

"Yes, I am your brother."

Zeref looked at Natsu's 'excited' expression, and he seemed to be touched inside. Even the calming curse on his body seemed to be showing signs of breaking out.

"Who are you?"

Then, Zeref heard Natsu speaking with a confused look on his face.

"puff……"

Hearing this, Jellal nearly vomited blood. He fell to one knee with an expression of disbelief and shock on his face. He said in a trembling voice, "I wanted to see you so much that I accidentally forgot your personality! I'm really sorry. It was my mistake to have high hopes for you!"

Just as Jellal knelt on one knee, seemingly suffering from severe internal injuries...

The mages of the Fairy Tail Guild also came over one after another.

"Eh?!"

"Natsu's brother is here?"

"Is that the famous dark wizard Zeref?"

After everyone gathered, the Fairy Tail members were shocked when they heard that Natsu's brother had found the Fairy Tail Guild.

However, they were not shocked by the fact that Natsu's brother was Zeref.

After all, both the 'King of the Underworld' Maldor Gil and the 'God of Death' Bradman have already made Natsu's identity very clear.

Only Natsu doesn't pay any attention to what other people say.

Or maybe someone who heard it today and completely forgot about it tomorrow, or didn’t remember Jellal’s identity…

In fact, all the Fairy Tail mages were shocked that it took Zeref so long to come to the Fairy Tail Guild to look for Natsu.

I have to say, Jellal has a really big heart...

Aren't they afraid that the mages of the Fairy Tail Guild will lead Natsu astray?!

"Lord Zeref."

When Pluto Mardo Gil, Xingli Tian Kuanghua, Liang Yuetian Sera, and God of Death Bradman noticed Zeref, they all knelt in front of Zeref and said respectfully, "Greetings, our creator."

Among them, the Pluto Mardo Gil was even more ecstatic: "I have finally waited for the day when I can see my Lord! I am finally no longer restricted by the control of that female devil. I am free."

Then, Mardo Gil heard Jellal's puzzled voice: "Who are you three? Do I know you? Have we met before?"

Zeref's eyes flickered back and forth between Mardo Gil, Kuang Hua, and Sera, and he finally revealed a confused look...

Jellal thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a clear answer. He looked at Bradman, the only person he knew in the field, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Bradman, explain to me, who are these guys?!"

"Forehead……"

"Master Zeref, this is the demon you created earlier."

Bradman smiled awkwardly and explained.

At the same time, 'Pluto' Maldo Gil, Kuang Hua and Sera were all like fossils, dried up in the wind, with despair on their faces.

"I see……"

"I'm really sorry, I have a bad memory and I completely forgot."

"Since all of you are demons created by me, from today on, you will work under the 'God of Death' Bradman."

Jelf preached nonchalantly.

Then, Zeref seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Sera and Kuanghua and added, "You two are too weak. It's embarrassing to be in the Guards of the Holy Shield! I will find time to rewrite your magic books to help you improve your strength."

"Thank you, my Creator!"

Upon hearing this, Kuanghua and Sera bowed excitedly.

Happiness really comes too suddenly...

Sometimes being a weak player is a blessing.

In response to this, Lucy, who had been keeping her eyes on Zeref and Natsu, said, "There's no doubt about it! These two are definitely brothers."

"Especially, their arrogant and self-centered expressions are too similar..."

Lucy still remembered the first time she and Natsu met in the port city of Hargeon. He was looking for the "fire dragon" in the city as if no one was around. He was also like this, not paying attention to other things.

"President, is it time to start the 72-hour fighting tournament?!"

"I've been itching all over waiting..."

"Today, it's a matter of life and death."

As Lucy was complaining, Natsu approached Makarov and spoke excitedly.

Yes, the reason why Natsu came to the Fairy Tail Guild so early today was to participate in the 72-hour fighting tournament.

"Ah, I had forgotten all about that."

Makarov was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Well, because there were so many things that could shock him today, the matter of the fighting tournament was not that important to him...

"No! Are we really going to have a fighting tournament?!"

"What's the point of fighting tournaments?!"

Lucy returned to her true self, looked at President Makarov, and retorted eagerly.

"Anyway..."

"The Magician Guild Fairy Tail, Autumn of X784, a 72-hour no-rules fighting tournament, the winner will be determined only when the opponent is killed or knocked unconscious and unable to move. The super invincible fighting tournament! It has officially begun... bullshit!"

As for Makarov, he was talking to himself.

Halfway through his speech, Makarov finally realized what was going on and shouted angrily, "What kind of fighting competition is this? It's clearly a 72-hour endurance race! You bastards almost tricked me into it."

"Everyone change your equipment and get on the runway..."

"While we're getting ready, let me explain the rules of the game."

"The rules are actually very simple. As long as you can depart from Hargeon Port within 72 hours, which is three days..."

"Swim across the sea from the Ishgar continent to the western continent of Alakidacia, and the mission will be completed."

"As long as the members can reach the Western Continent within 72 hours, no matter in which order, everyone will receive a bonus of one million J!"

“Remember, no matter the order, as long as you work hard, everyone will be rewarded.”

Makarov loudly announced the rules of the game.

"One million J?!"

"Everyone?"

"When did the president become so generous?"

For a moment, the entire Fairy Tail Guild, the mages who were originally lifeless and had no interest in the so-called fighting tournament, all became excited and said loudly: "We are not interested in money, we just like sports!"

"For a prize of one million J, I would do it even if I could just run around the Ishgar continent, let alone cross the ocean!"

There are people who are more introverted and say this.

"asshole!"

"Don't hype up the market price..."

Then the man was beaten.

"That makes sense..."

“I’ll be running around the continent next year!”

In response, Markov's eyes lit up and he nodded.

“Running around the Ishgar Continent (the area of ​​the Ishgar Continent is comparable to the surface area of ​​the real Earth)?! You’ll really die!”

The Fairy Tail people were all stunned and spoke in disbelief.

"This is not over yet..."

"If everyone gets the same reward, there's no competition, right?!"

Makarov kept the question a secret, and continued with a smile, "Anyone who can reach the Western Continent of Alakidacia within 72 hours and still have enough energy to go to the capital of the Albares Empire will be rewarded with 5 million J!"

"Five million J?!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Haha, it's not over yet~"

"If anyone can reach the capital of the Albares Empire within 72 hours, the prize money will be doubled..."

Makarov's voice seemed to be full of magic, attracting everyone's attention.

"Five million doubled, that's ten million?!"

At this moment, everyone in Fairy Tail was dumbfounded.

Natsu counted on his fingers, "Too many, too many, I can't count them all."

"If you can get through the capital and reach the palace within 72 hours, your reward will be doubled!"

Makarov continued.

"what……"

At this moment, everyone has become completely numb; they have become desensitized to these numbers.

At this moment, the prize money has reached a staggering 20 million.

So what's next?!
How much money will the top three get?
"Then there are the rewards for the top three."

"The first person to reach the Albares Empire Palace and stand before the throne will receive a prize of 100 million J."

"The second place winner who reaches the throne will receive a prize of 50 million J."

"The third place winner will receive a prize of 30 million J."

Makarov knew what everyone was expecting, and directly announced the high bonuses that the top three would receive.

"One hundred million?!"

"President Makarov, are we going to have a hard time?"

At this moment, Gildarts was eager to try.

If it's 100 million, he has to work hard~
"It's strange, why is President Makarov suddenly so generous?!"

However, the more sensitive Lucy noticed something was wrong. She was not overwhelmed by the huge bonus, but instead remained unusually calm. Based on her understanding of Makarov, the other party would definitely not be so kind.

"Buzz!"

Just when Lucy felt strange...

The door of Water Wing suddenly opened!

The figures of Ian, Irene, Selene, Auguste, Igniel, and others slowly appeared in front of everyone.

In addition, in day mode, Escanor, who is burning all over, as well as Ignia and Zeref, a group of top combat forces gathered together.

Um, why is the prize so high?!
There is actually only one answer.

That is, the organizers themselves also participated in the competition...

That’s why the prize money is so high!
Because no matter what, no one else can take this bonus away.
