Shirou's clones number 30 million

This is a capsule he recently asked Sun Wukong to buy for him; it contains many items he needs for his travels.

He took out a motorcycle capsule and threw it on the ground; the capsule instantly transformed into a motorcycle.

"This is the second product, a new type of transportation tool, essential for long-distance travel. Of course, cars are quite large, so it's not convenient to show them here."

"In addition, this is also my third product, capsule technology, which can turn any item into a capsule for storage."

"When traveling far away, you can even take a house with you."

Watching the motorcycle transform back into a capsule and be stored in a box, Jiude's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he immediately became excited.

"This is amazing! A house can actually be turned into such a tiny capsule? If there were only one such treasure, it would definitely be kept as a family heirloom."

"Even kings from various countries would fight over it."

"And as a product that can be mass-produced, it will absolutely... absolutely cause a craze."

At that moment, the excitement he felt was indescribable.

I thought making a comeback was just a dream, but with these things, it's definitely possible!

Even establishing a chamber of commerce far exceeding its original size would not be difficult.

"You...no, you really want to cooperate with me? With these few things, even if you just grab anyone off the street, they could quickly become incredibly wealthy, right?"

"I originally intended to use these things myself, and never thought of selling them." Shirou shook his head slightly. "This time it was just a coincidence. If Mr. Kudo continues to work as hard as before, he will die of exhaustion in a few years."

"I'll write down the production details for these things for you later. You can decide how to sell them yourself. I just hope you can balance work and rest, and not let Lucy go to sweep the grave every year at such a young age."

Jiude was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, looked back and forth between Lucy and Shirou, and nodded slightly:

“I understand. Lucy, you have a better eye than I do. I did make a mistake before.”

If you were to be arranged into a marriage alliance, you wouldn't have this opportunity.

This time, he not only has the ability to make a comeback in a short period of time, but he can also become the world's number one businessman.

"What are you talking about?" Lucy looked bewildered.

"I agree to your marriage!"

"Huh...? You've got it wrong! We're just companions."

"Your mother and I were colleagues back then, it really brings back memories..."

"Listen to me! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Seeing Lucy's anger and embarrassment, the group laughed at the same time.

......

Several days later, in the evening, in the center of Magnolia town, next to the Fairy Tail guild.

In the future, Lucy, wearing a hood and completely covered up, looked up at the direction of the guild gate and slowly walked out of the city.

Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?

The sudden sound startled her.

Looking back, Shirou was sitting on the roof of a building on one side.

"I...I really like this world, but I'm not really from this era," Lucy said softly, her voice lowering involuntarily. "These past few days I've been hesitating about whether to stay and live in this world. But there's already a Lucy in this world..."

So, after much hesitation, you're still going to leave?

"I do not know."

"There's no going back, so give up. Four hundred years ago, after I slaughtered dozens of dragons and felt that my strength was considerable, no less than that of the Black Dragon King, I also thought about returning to the future. But unfortunately, there's no way to go back."

Shirou paused for a moment, then said again:

"Of course, you certainly won't believe me just by saying that, so I'll take you to the Gate of Eclipse to take a look."

Lucy was clearly taken aback for a moment, then whispered:

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it, I'll be there soon. Be prepared."

"Huh...? Is it going to transform into a black dragon and carry me there?" Lucy looked excited; riding on a dragon's back should be quite nice.

No, that's not true.

With a slight thought, Black Dragon Shirou instantly retrieved the Somersault Cloud that Sun Wukong had placed in the white mist space.

Currently, Goku is traveling around with Bulma using the Anywhere Door, while the Flying Nimbus is just gathering dust in a corner.

Since that's the case, why not just borrow it?

"Thank you for your help, Somersault Cloud."

The Flying Cloud rubbed against Shirou a few times, and upon sensing that familiar aura, it immediately calmed down.

“Well then, give it a try, Lucy.” Shirou jumped off the roof and said with a smile, “Only those with pure hearts can touch this Flying Cloud; otherwise, they will just pass right through it.”

"Why......!?"

Is this some kind of ultimate test?

Chapter 383 There's no stopping it anymore.

Chapter 383, Section 384: There's no stopping now.

thump!

With a soft thud, Lucy fell off the somersault cloud without warning.

"Haha... People these days have such complicated minds; they've lost the pure innocence they had as children..."

He had only been boasting for two sentences when Shirou suddenly lost his footing and quickly cleared his mind to regain his composure.

I almost forgot, I'm not actually that stable myself.

Only with a special state of mind can one stand on the somersault cloud, barely qualifying as a technically skilled player.

Lucy was filled with embarrassment and anger, and was about to make a few words of explanation when the image of him almost losing his balance suddenly flashed through her mind.

"You almost fell down just now too?"

"Okay, I admit, it does take some skill to stand on this cloud."

Shirou smiled and explained:

"As I just said, only those with pure hearts can stand on this cloud. But apart from simple-minded fools and children, such people are almost impossible to find."

"Therefore, adults with complicated thoughts must empty their minds and not think about anything if they want to stand here."

"How is that even possible?" Although she said that, Lucy's body had already started to try it out unconsciously.

Although this cloud is a bit strange, the chance to fly on a cloud only happens in dreams.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll definitely regret it later.

"Is that so? It doesn't seem too difficult..."

As she spoke, Lucy kept telling herself not to think about anything, to not think about anything at all, and to just treat it like a dream.

"Alright! Let's go...!"

Shirou grabbed Lucy's arm, gave the command to the Flying Nimbus, and the two immediately rode the cloud into the sky.

Golden clouds streaked across the sky like a dazzling shooting star, reaching the capital in just a few seconds.

"Wow, that's amazing! I really felt like I was flying on a cloud!!"

"We've arrived in the capital in an instant!! So fast..."

Standing before the Gate of Eclipse, Lucy looked back and forth repeatedly, her excitement overflowing.

"Wow, that's amazing! They arrived so quickly! And they even flew here on clouds..."

"Alright, no need to get so excited, let's get down to business. If we have time later, I'll take you flying around to your heart's content."

"Thank you, but I probably won't be able to come back."

Thinking about all that, Lucy hesitated again.

However, the thought that "she does not belong to this era" made her feet move unconsciously.

"How do I open the Gate of Eclipse? Last time, I inexplicably traveled to the past. How exactly did it work?"

Seeing this, Shirou slowly stepped forward and stood beside her in front of the Eclipse Gate.

At the same time, he began to explain:

"The opening of the Eclipse Gate requires three conditions to be met."

"A large amount of magic power, two Celestial Mages, and the keys to the Zodiac are all indispensable."

"As for magic, I can provide it. As for celestial magic, although I've never used it before, I can still temporarily act as a celestial mage."

"As for the keys to the twelve zodiac signs, do you have them all?"

Lucy pondered for a moment. No wonder she had suddenly traveled through time; it must have been because she had met all three conditions by chance.

"Wait a minute, do we need all twelve keys? What if some are missing..."

"That's definitely invalid. All twelve keys must be present; that's a necessary condition. Didn't you bring enough keys?"

"I have ten keys. The other two belong to Yukino, but that was seven years later. I wonder if she has collected those two keys now, seven years from now?"

Lucy looked troubled, her expression turning somewhat dejected, and she let out a soft sigh.

It seems like this trip will be a waste of time.

“In that case, we have no choice but to adopt the backup plan.” Shirou paused and pondered, “Recall the two missing keys in your mind, try to recall them as completely as possible.”

"Why...?"

Lucy was slightly taken aback, but thinking of the amazing things Shirou had done recently, a glimmer of hope gradually rose in her heart, and she immediately closed her eyes to recall.

"The two keys I'm missing are Pisces and Libra..."

Shirou extended his right hand and gently touched her forehead with his fingertips, simultaneously activating the resonance magic.

This magic can connect the thoughts of two people, allowing them to communicate their ideas.
