Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 79 Acting Alone
chi chi-

The warship docked at the bottom of the cliff valley emitted a large amount of steam, wrapping its huge hull.

When the smoke cleared, the surface of the battleship was covered with a layer of mucus, causing it to blend in with the surrounding environment at the bottom of the valley.

From the perspective of the onlookers, "Demon Lord" Endymion and "Ruined Nation" Brandish, the warships had disappeared, and only the various vegetation and rocks at the bottom of the valley remained.

However, if you get a little closer and look more carefully, you can still see the flaws, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people who occasionally pass by here.

This is just the first step for "Judge" Val.

Because such disguise was not enough to satisfy him, he needed to use this battleship as the core to build an extremely huge underground base here.

At the same time, he will release numerous insect-sized unmanned machines to explore and locate the "Magic Pulse Bomb Fis" throughout the entire Ishgar continent.

Val's plan was proceeding smoothly, and he no longer had the heart to pay attention to Endymion and Brandish.

Endymion took one last look in the direction of the huge warship and turned away.

"Brandish, let's go, it's time for us to complete our mission."

Endymion waved his hand and opened a "Door of Anything" in the magic circle.

Brandish pursed her lips.

“Where do we go next?”

"First, we need to find the informants placed here by the Albares Empire, obtain the latest intelligence from them, select and confirm the latest targets, and then begin the capture. That's it."

Endymion is already quite familiar with this process.

Blanche yawned as she heard this.

"It seems so troublesome and trivial...How about this, Endymion? I will take charge of the Heart Palace for you. If a challenger gathers all the keys, I can stop them."

"You go and complete these tasks. If you need me, just call me out."

Endymion had already told Brandish some basic changes to "Castlevania", so Brandish knew about the "key".

He looked at Brandish with some suspicion. This guy seemed quite lazy. He wondered if he would fight the "challenger" with all his strength. Maybe he would find it troublesome and let the other party go.

If it weren't for Zeref's order and Auguste's recommendation, Endymion would actually prefer to act alone and wouldn't need a partner.

However, now that things have come to this, he had no choice but to accept it... Besides, Brandish could at least delay the "Challenger" for a while, which would be enough for Endymion to return to the "Palace of the Heart".

Placing Brandish in the "Demon Castle" was exactly what Endymion wanted. He could act alone without having to consider Brandish's opinion.

So, he opened another "Door of Anything".

"Then I'll leave it to you to take charge of the 'Palace of the Heart'."

"No problem, no problem..."

Brandish waved his hand weakly, then dragged his feet and walked into the "Door of Anything". It looked more like he was entering the "Palace of the Heart" to find a place to lie down and rest.

However, Endymion misunderstood Brandish.

Her first act upon entering the Heart Palace was to borrow the Demon King's authority to open the Surveillance Mirror and observe the condition of Lucy, the daughter of her mother's friend. After noticing that Lucy was still on the first floor, seemingly reunited with a few companions, Brandish lost interest and found the throne of the Demon King's Hand and sat upon it.

She used magic and quickly shrunk herself to the size of a fingernail, so that the "Devil's Hand" became a big bed that belonged to her.

So, to be exact, being lazy was the second thing she did.

the other side.

Endymion passed through another "Door of Anything" and came to a bustling town.

He dressed as stealthily as possible, wrapped himself in a black robe, his blond hair and handsome face hidden by a hood, and then went into the alley.

If possible, he doesn't want irrelevant people to have any memory of him, nor does he want some people to harass him because of his appearance.

He wanted to minimize trouble as much as possible and didn't want to waste time on unimportant things. In this respect, he was very similar to Brandish.

At the end of the alley is a shabby shop that has never been exposed to the sun all year round. The walls are covered with lush green ivy, almost like a thick robe that covers two-thirds of the shop.

Endymion walked in and saw rows of shelves filled with all kinds of strange and bizarre objects.

But Endymion ignored all this and walked straight to the innermost stage.

Sitting in front of the stage was a skinny old man, lying motionless in a rocking chair, his hands clutching the armrests, his feet pressed against the end of the chair, making him look as if he was grown together with the chair.

After Endymion approached, the old man's drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and then blinked as if he was not used to the sunlight, and finally fixed his eyes on Endymion.

The old man immediately regained his spirits when he recognized and realized that the person in front of him was a big shot from the Albares Empire who had obtained intelligence from him several times in the past six months.

"Sir, you're here? Are you here to check the intelligence as well?"

"Correct."

"Okay, okay, please let me see the Imperial Emblem."

In any case, the necessary procedures must be followed, and Endymion handed the "Imperial Emblem" which was difficult to forge to the old man.

The old man took out a fine needle, inserted it into the "Imperial Emblem", fiddled with it, and after confirming that it was correct, he respectfully handed it back to Endymion with both hands, and then led Endymion to the basement.

These spies who have stayed in the continent of Ishgar for many years have basically become part of the town where they live, and no one will suspect them.

No one would have thought that an old man who had lived here for more than ten years, or even more than twenty years, would be a spy sent by the Albares Empire.

The old man usually behaves very dull to outsiders. Only when someone from the empire like Endymion arrives will the secrets and passion deep in his heart be aroused.

Along the way, the old man kept chattering about his fanatical belief in Jellal and the empire, so much so that the lantern in his hand kept shaking, and the road below was dim and unclear.

Finally arriving at the basement, Endymion could see that the walls were covered with various maps, the tables were filled with heavy books, and there was a feather duster on the side.

Endymion checked the information, and the old man stood aside and explained some key information questions to Endymion.

He flipped through the pages for a while and suddenly noticed a piece of information. He pulled it out and quickly browsed through it.
