The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 123 Double Blow

Wes drove the flying car, gradually rising until he reached the very top of the purple membrane that covered the entire island of Galna.

This thin film not only isolates the island from the outside world, but also makes the moon appear with a strange purple light under the refraction of moonlight.

The villagers were unaware of this, believing it to be a natural phenomenon, when in fact it was a phenomenon caused by the moon's magic released during the "Moon Drops" ritual.

Upon reaching the top of the membrane, Wes gently touched it with his wand and felt significant resistance.

He had a plan in mind. As the incantation was recited, the membrane began to slowly contract, centered on the very top of the shield, and gradually coalesced into a ball.

In the end, all the magic converged into a single drop of purple liquid containing a rich concentration of lunar magic.

Weiss carefully collected the precious drop of liquid into a specially made bottle, making sure it wouldn't leak.

After completing all this, he glanced down at Galna Island below, then restarted the flying car and disappeared into the night.

After returning to land, Wes enjoyed a peaceful night and fully recovered his strength.

The next morning, he embarked on his journey to Magnolia City, the home of the famous magic guild "Fairy Tail".

He rode in an old-fashioned steam train with an ancient design but powered by modern magic crystals.

This train is not only environmentally friendly and pollution-free, but also runs exceptionally smoothly and quickly, making the journey very comfortable.

Through the car window, Wes admired the ever-changing scenery along the way.

Magnolia City, a historic magical metropolis with a population of over 60,000, is not only a gathering place for many outstanding mages, but also a place that many mages skilled in advanced techniques such as forging, potion making, and alchemy yearn for.

The magical atmosphere here is so strong that it has permeated almost every corner of the city.

When Wes arrived in Magnolia, he found the entire city seemingly in the midst of a heated discussion.

The conversation among the citizens gradually became clearer; they were discussing the attack on Fairy Tail's guild headquarters.

"Have you heard? Fairy Tail's base has been attacked."

"Is that so??"

"It's true, but thankfully it was nighttime, so no one was hurt."

"Who on earth did this? How dare they run wild in Fairy Tail?"

"."

The residents' words revealed their sympathy for Fairy Tail.

Although the members of Fairy Tail often cause a lot of trouble while carrying out their missions, the residents of the city know that these magicians are good at heart.

"We've come at the worst possible time."

Wes looked at the Fairy Tail guild headquarters, which had been pierced by several huge iron pillars. Even after such an attack, the building still stood firm.

After his initial shock, Wes didn't immediately go into the guild to investigate the situation. Instead, he decided to find a place to stay first.

He found a hotel to stay in temporarily.

When Wes settled into the hotel, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy returned to the badly damaged guild headquarters with even heavier news.

"Erza has been captured!!!"

The news came like a bolt from the blue; the Fairy Tail mages could hardly believe their ears.

Natsu and his companions felt incredibly ashamed for failing to protect Erza, and Lucy was in tears, overwhelmed with self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for us," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

They then recounted the entire attack to the other members, leaving them no choice but to believe it.

All eyes immediately turned to the short, elderly man sitting at the table, Makarov.

He is the president of Fairy Tail.

"Glug~ glug~", Makarov calmly drank the beer in his glass, then said, "Let me see the note that guy left behind."

Gray handed the paper to Makarov, who first used magic to detect any traps. Only after confirming it was safe did he examine the paper more closely.

Disappointingly, there don't seem to be many clues left on paper.

"Since you're a mage, you should act like a mage."

Makarov's calm voice broke the silence in the guild. He then tried to channel magic into the paper, hoping to unlock hidden information.

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Wes was engrossed in a large collection of magic books, rapidly absorbing knowledge through a special pair of glasses.

The glasses Wes wore were not ordinary vision correction tools, but a magical artifact that could implant the contents of an entire book into the user's brain in a short period of time.

Although doing so would greatly deplete his mental energy, it was the perfect choice for Wes.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A stack of books he had read had already been piled up in front of him.

Just as he was about to continue reading the next book, a small notebook on the table suddenly emitted a light.

"They contacted me so quickly; it seems they really value their partners."

Wes opened his notebook and wrote a line: "Hello, Erza is safe now. Who is contacting me now?"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov patiently waited after channeling his magic power.

Finally, when he saw the other person's handwriting gradually appearing on the paper, he immediately ordered, "Give me a pen."

Miradje, who had been preparing everything, quickly handed over a pen, which Makarov accepted.

"Who are you?" Makarov quickly wrote the question on the paper, waiting for the other party's reply.

Wes immediately gave his name and got straight to the point: "If you want Erza back, trade her magic books."

Through this magical piece of paper, Makarov and Weiss reached a deal, confirming the time and place.

Makarov put down his pen, stood up, and looked around at everyone in the guild.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring Erza back safely."

Natsu, Gray, and the other members volunteered to join the rescue operation, but Makarov declined their requests to ensure the safety of the mission.

"Levy, just come and help."

He specifically chose this blue-haired girl.

Levy Markugarden is not only a member of the "Car Lane Engine" trio, but also a literature-loving girl who has a special interest and knowledge of magical books, and her help is needed for this mission.

"Yes, President!" Although she wasn't good at fighting, she had long regarded all the members of Fairy Tail as family.

Makarov noticed her nervousness and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, this time you just need to help me organize the books."

Then, Makarov issued even stricter instructions to all members: "No one is allowed to act alone! We encountered two groups of enemies this time, the situation is complicated, and we cannot be careless. As for the guild attack, we will deal with it after I safely bring Erza back."

"yes!"
