Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 719 The Twelve Shields of the Holy Guard (Second Update)

The western continent, the capital of the Alvarez Empire.

"Wow, this place looks much more lively than Magnolia City!"

Seeing the bustling streets with clothing and characteristics completely different from Ishgar, Mavis immediately regained her girlish heart and happily looked around.

Jerry shook his head at the sight, somewhat speechless.

Just moments ago, Mebius was incredibly nervous about seeing her lover and children, but now she's been drawn to the bustling street.

He felt that once Mavis and her son, the Magic King, were reunited, it was uncertain who would take care of whom.

To be honest, after taking a quick look at the capital city of the Alvarez Empire, he realized that it was indeed much larger and more prosperous than any city in Ishgar.

Perhaps for the people of the Western Continent, the establishment of the Alvarez Empire was not actually a bad thing.

Before Zeref went to the Western Continent to establish an empire, the Western Continent and Ishgar were not much different, and the main affairs were handled by the Sorcerer Guild.

Even compared to Ishgar's five hundred mage guilds, the Western Continent has a full seven hundred and thirty mage guilds, and they are in a state of chaos and conflict all year round.

It was Zeref's appearance that changed the status quo of the Western Continent. With a group of powerful and terrifying mages he recruited, he swept through 730 magic guilds and established the Alvarez Empire, which is now a centralized, peaceful, and prosperous empire.

However, Zeref's original intention was not to bring prosperity to the Western Continent. His original intention was simply to build a powerful magical empire to help him kill the black dragon Acnologia, which even he could not defeat.

Of course, Zeref's thoughts have changed now. After his lover Mavis was killed by the curse on him, he went insane.

Now he's thinking of leading his empire to attack Ishgar, seize the Fairy Heart, then transform into a White Mage to control time and space, go back in time, and change everything.

"First Generation, we need to hurry, otherwise we'll be late for the harvest festival, and the Third Generation will start nagging again!"

After strolling around the streets, experiencing the unique charm of the Western Continent, tasting the local delicacies, and inquiring about the location of the royal palace, the two headed straight for the city center.

Before long, a luxurious and enormous European-style palace appeared before the two of them.

"The imperial palace is a forbidden area; anyone who trespasses will be executed!"

Just as Mavis was about to step forward, two mages dressed in heavy armor from the Alvarez Empire pointed their steel staffs inlaid with magic crystals at her.

"Please inform him that Mavis Viviamilio, the first guild master of Fairy Tail, the Ishgar Mage Guild, requests an audience with Emperor Sprigan of the Alvarez Empire."

Before Mavis could figure out what to say, Jerry had already stepped forward.

He could sense the aura of the Ankhseram curse on Zeref, who was currently inside the palace.

In fact, he could have teleported directly to Zeref's side in the palace with Mavis, but considering that the purpose of his visit was to allow Mavis to reunite with her lover and son, not to destroy the Alvarez Empire, he decided against it.

Therefore, it would be better to be polite, formally request an audience, and then explain the reason clearly for the meeting, so that the reunion can be warm and friendly.

"Ishgar? Fairy Tail?"

The mage guards at the gate were clearly unfamiliar with these two terms.

Upon seeing this, Jerry suddenly realized that the Imperial high command, such as the Spriggan 12, must know about Zeref's plans targeting Ishgar and Fairy Tail, but the guards at the gate might not be aware of them.

"Go quickly!"

Instead of explaining, he activated the Soul-Stealing Curse to control the guards and send them inside to report.

"Fairy Tail, the first guild master, didn't His Majesty say she was dead?"

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace, the Imperial Regent, who was also one of the twelve strongest mages of the empire, the Twelve Shields of Saint Seiya, listened to the guards' report with a puzzled look on his face.

"They're probably imposters, or people with ill intentions. Don't bother His Majesty with such trivial matters; let me handle them!"

At this moment, a dark-skinned young man, shirtless, spoke with a cruel expression on his face.

Upon hearing this, Imber frowned slightly, then gave the order:

"Agil, don't kill them yet. Find out their identities and why they came here."

Although Agil, also a member of the Twelve Shields, was cruel and quick to kill, his words were not without reason.

Now is the time for their empire to launch a war to help His Majesty reclaim the body of the First Generation, and suddenly two people claiming to be Fairy Tail mages appear, one of whom even claims to be the First Generation. No matter how you look at it, there is definitely something wrong with that.

He planned to wait until he understood the identities and purposes of the two men before considering whether to report to His Majesty.

If they were just two swindlers, there would be no need to disturb His Majesty's rest, as His Majesty has only recently returned from his rare trip.

"Don't worry, torture is what I'm best at!"

Agil licked his lips, his expression becoming increasingly grotesque.

Two days ago, he volunteered to lead troops to attack Ishgar, but His Majesty refused him outright. He was quite annoyed, and now two mages claiming to be from Fairy Tail have come over, which is a good opportunity for him to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, outside the palace gates, Jerry said to Mavis with a hint of helplessness:

"It seems that meeting Zeref peacefully will not be such an easy thing for us."

When he cast the Soul-Stealing Curse on the guard, he also left a wisp of his mind on the guard, so he naturally heard all the conversations in the hall.

The Spriggan 12 are the twelve strongest mages under Zeref's command. Apart from the Magic King August and Irene, the mother of Dragon Slayer mages, each of them possesses strength surpassing that of the Wizarding Ten.

And Agil, who was walking towards them, was the most cruel and bloodthirsty of the Twelve Shields.

"Jerry, you don't have to accommodate me like this. Just do what you think is right. I trust you."

Perhaps sensing that Jerry seemed to be more hesitant in his actions because of her, Mavis immediately offered an explanation.

She knew that Jerry's strength had reached the level of the god Ankhseram, far exceeding her imagination. If it weren't for her feelings, he wouldn't be so restrained as he was now.

Jerry smiled upon hearing this:

"Since you don't mind, let's use a more efficient method."

Mavis and Zeref are exceptionally talented, possessing the same level of power as Clow Reed, and have the potential to reach the level of a single universe in the future.

They were his designated helpers in building and developing his dimensional world, much like the Celestials, so naturally he had to take good care of their feelings.
