Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Some S-rank missions, no matter how much relevant information they have, will not provide any assistance to the mission.

At most, it will just discourage people from trying.

"You don't know..." Fang Rui didn't press further, but changed the subject, "President Makarov, do you know where some of the more dangerous monsters are lurking?"

"Of course, the prerequisite is... that the current squad can handle it."

“Find it yourself,” Makarov refused to answer the question.

Chapter 305 S-level mission

As night deepened, the RV version of the magical four-wheeled vehicle stopped next to a huge rock. Instead of activating its defense mode, it adopted a system where one person was on night watch while the others rested.

The person on night duty tonight is Gray. He sits in the driver's seat, looking at the night view outside the window without saying a word.

The second floor of the RV, where the bedroom is located.

Because the RV was not designed to accommodate so many people when it was originally manufactured, there is only one bedroom.

Therefore, Makarov slept on the sofa on the first floor, the bedroom was given to Lucy and Erza, and as for Fang Rui...

In his study, he studied the Magic Flute "Lalabai," carefully examining its structure.

Sensing the external energy surging wildly within his body, Magi dared not show the slightest reaction...

Because the guy playing with it is ridiculously strong.

"So that's how it is..." Fang Rui placed the magic flute on the table, lost in thought.

After a period of research, Fang Rui gained a little understanding of Zeref's methods for creating demons.

Zeref, whose full name is Zeref Dragneel, is known as the "progenitor of dark magic". In terms of individual combat strength, he is undoubtedly among the top five in the world, and in terms of knowledge, he is also among the best in the world. It is no problem to say that he is among the top five in the world.

After all, he was called a genius in his childhood and delved too deeply into various forbidden knowledge, which led to him being cursed by the god Ankhseram. This alone is enough to demonstrate his knowledge.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, their knowledge may have advanced even further.

Even without learning new knowledge, some insights alone can bring about significant improvement.

Of course, there's no need to delve into how profound Jelf's knowledge is now, as it's irrelevant to this matter and difficult to prove.

As mentioned earlier, Zeref was cursed by the god Ankhseram because his research touched upon the taboo of life and death, or more accurately, he had successfully broken the taboo... He had mastered the ability to create life.

After all, the devil was already in front of him.

"This is quite profound knowledge, and it can't be studied thoroughly in a short time. Perhaps..."

"Should we ask him directly?"

Thinking this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the glass window and looked out at the starry sky.

Divination in progress...

"Huh? We're already on Sirius Island~"

Fang Rui sounded somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Jelf would already be on Sirius Island at this time.

"Some trouble."

Tenrou Island, the sacred ground of the magic guild "Fairy Tail," is generally off-limits to ordinary people...

That doesn't seem quite right either...

He seemed to know absolutely nothing about the rules of Sirius Island.

Moreover, it concerns the secrets of the Mage Guild, so it's not convenient to ask casually.

"emmm..."

"Speaking of which, Sirius Island is at sea, right? Karna Island is at sea too, right? What if we get lost there?"

"That seems like...a good idea?"

After muttering to himself for a while, Fang Rui decided to give up thinking; it seemed he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"Send a clone to find Zeref!"

A single hair drifted down, carried by the wind, and floated out the window, disappearing into the vast night.

"I always feel..."

Gently brushing his black hair aside, Fang Rui complained, "...I'm in danger of going bald!"

………………

The next day, the group returned to the guild, accepted an S-rank mission, and set off again...

Upon arriving at the port, we boarded the magic ship provided by Fang Rui and headed to Karna Island...

"By the way, do you guys know where Karna Island is?!"

After piloting the magic ship for a while, Fang Rui noticed something was wrong. He seemed to see the same island three times. It must be my... illusion, right?

A bad feeling crept into Fang Rui's mind, and he looked at Erza, who was giving directions, hoping to get a positive answer from her.

"I don't know..." Erza closed her eyes, lowered her head, and admitted her mistake.

"It's my fault, so just beat me up first!"

"No, you should have said so earlier if you didn't know the way!" Fang Rui was speechless upon hearing this.

You were so confident when you gave directions, I thought you knew the way!

So, the reason we saw the same island...

Are you trying to find your way and are you going in circles?

This method might not even work on land, let alone at sea.

With a sigh, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Gray and Lucy: "Do you know where Karna Island is?"

The two shook their heads in unison, highlighting their tacit understanding.

"So... do you know which direction to go back to the port?"

The two shook their heads in unison again, once again highlighting their tacit understanding.

'Ah! What an unexpected opportunity!'

'Is it a chance to perform a scene where someone gets lost, and ends up on Tenrou Island?'

To be honest, Fang Rui ultimately didn't take any action and instead handed over the reins to Erza.

"It's all about taking a chance, so I'll just drive it randomly."

After saying that, Fang Rui left the cockpit, went up to the deck, took out a fishing rod, and started fishing.

That's all for now~ Let's get started!

After that, the magic ship began its journey of getting lost.

after an hour……

One more person has started the event.

Gray sat next to Fang Rui, also holding a fishing rod, gazing into the distance at the ever-changing scenery.

After becoming completely disoriented, Gray had given up on giving directions.

"Fang Rui, how long do you think we'll be lost?"

"Let's see when Erza gives up."

Fang Rui shrugged slightly. As long as Erza gave up the idea of ​​trying her luck to find Galna Island and chose a direction to move straight ahead, she would reach the land sooner or later.

Moreover, at night, he could use the starry sky to divine the location of Karna Island.

"Is this so..."

Ignoring their conversation, Harpy's eyes were fixed on the fishing rod: "Hey~ Fang Rui, Gray, haven't any fish taken the bait yet?"

"No~"

Fang Rui explained, "The ship is moving too fast, which has some impact."

"...The speed is indeed quite fast."

Gray agreed, and as Erza grew increasingly agitated, the ship's speed continued to gradually increase.

“Ugh…” Natsu, who was leaning on the railing, agreed.

Half an hour later, Erza, who was lost, happened to encounter a pirate ship. After a friendly exchange, the pirates offered to lead the way.

After getting lost for several hours, the magic ship finally found the correct route.

Several hours later, Natsu and the others arrived at Galna Island.

Because of the long travel time, Natsu will need to rest for a period of time before he can return to normal, even after getting off the vehicle.

Therefore, Natsu was helped up by Gray.

The group continued along the road and eventually arrived at a village built in the mountains.

The village was surrounded by defensive fortifications, but in Fang Rui's opinion, their defenses were probably quite weak; any slightly powerful attack magic should be able to destroy them...

At each of the watchtowers at either end of the village gate, a villager stands guard.

The villagers spotted a few people near the village entrance and sent a message to the villagers guarding the wooden wall. Some of those who received the message walked along the passageway in the wall to the top of the village gate and looked down at the people in front of the gate.

"who?!"

The inquiries came from above.

"We are mages from Fairy Tail, and we are here to handle any requests we receive."

Lucy looked up at the two figures above the city wall and explained their identities.

The two villagers on the city wall looked at each other for a moment, then turned their gaze back to the open space in front of the village gate and said, "Fairy Tail? We didn't receive any notification of accepting the commission!"

“The notification letter is with me.” Erza pulled a letter from her pocket and explained amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, “When we set off, I figured we should arrive at Galna Island before the messenger…”

"Got it~" Fang Rui snapped his fingers, already understanding what Erza meant.

As an S-rank mission location, Karna Island cannot be reached by conventional means of delivery; only magical tools and magical beasts specifically designed for delivering messages will suffice.

The village that issued the request for magical tools does not have them.
