The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Kira admitted very generously. There was nothing embarrassing about this kind of thing in the first place. In addition, the person in front of him was not an outsider, but a fellow person. The other person knew his personality very well, so there was no need to hide it.

"Eh~ It's really weird!"

"What's wrong?" The two asked curiously when they heard Kira's sudden voice.

"According to the instructions of the magic tracker, Erza and the others seem to have run far away... What's going on?"

Kira pointed to the magic tracker in her hand, which showed Erza's name and two red dots. One red dot is constant, representing himself; one is flashing, representing Erza.

"Oh my God! You even have such a thing? With such a powerful thing in your hand, wouldn't you be able to control the whereabouts of the girls in the Guild at any time?! Sure enough, you are the legendary stalker, right?"

Dispel snatched the tracker from Kira's hand and connected the dots on the buttons. He saw that the names on it were constantly changing, from "Erza" to "Natsu" and "Lucy" to "Mira" Familiar names such as "Makarov", then "Jeral" and "Urutia" and other people he had heard of but never seen before suddenly exclaimed.

Compared to Disper's yelling, Kornuki seemed much calmer. He just glanced at the magic tracker, which Disper regarded as a "crazy artifact", and ignored it. To dragons, their noses work better than any magic tool.

"Based on their strength, they shouldn't be unable to catch up or defeat them."

"Well...according to my many years of experience, the most likely possibility is that they defeated those guys and then learned from them that the dark guild also kidnapped other people, so they ran to rescue them."

After listening to Kira's speculation, Dispei and Kornuki also felt that it made sense: "It does sound like their style..."

"Let's go and see if there's anything we can help with. Hmm... I don't know if there is a dark guild at the level of the 'Balam Alliance' in Kirtina's magic world."

The magicians in the Fairy Tail world all have appearance auras, so even though Kira has confidence in the strength and luck of Erza and others, if they really encounter a strong enemy, they will probably be beaten first. pause.

Thirty minutes later, the three of Kira slowly arrived at their destination, which was a forest outside the town.

Deep in the forest, there is a dark-looking tavern. A series of skulls of monsters hang high at the door, and a bunch of red and black scary patterns are drawn on them.

The most distinctive thing is a huge green snake sculpture and its two lantern-sized eyes.

Disper thought for a moment and said: "Hmm... If I remember correctly, the dark guild that the blacksmith's nephew mentioned just now is called the One-Eyed Snake, right? It seems that the person they kidnapped is hiding here. .”

Kira looked at the magic tracker in his hand, nodded and said, "Erza and the others are also in there, but...how come there is no movement?"

"You won't be tricked, right? I heard that the people in the dark guild here are quite capable, and they can also buy a lot of things that are usually unavailable from the black market."

"What can't be bought? Conscience and integrity?"

Dispel blurted out: "I think that kind of thing can be bought!"

"I'll go! You can actually pick it up?!" Kira exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face, "And I can't refute the idea of ​​'buying it' at all... Damn it! I didn't expect you to be such a person!! "

Kornuki on the side listened quietly to the exchange between Kira and Disper. After the two were over, he said in his usual cold tone: "I said you two..."

"Really not brothers!"×2

"...I want to ask, won't you go in?"

"No rush, no hurry... wait until we find out the situation."

"It's still early... let's get some sleep first."

When Kira, Disper and Kornuki were looking at the dark guild outside the tavern, in the basement of the tavern, Erza opened her eyes leisurely.

An arrogant voice came: "Hey, you bastard woman, have you finally woken up?"

Hearing the sound, Erza instantly became clear and recalled what happened before.

Half a day ago, under strong suspicion, she led Natsu and others to catch up with the suspicious big men on the street. Originally, Natsu planned to directly rescue people, but Erza stopped him on the grounds that "the other party cannot have only these people, and they should follow them to the other party's lair before taking action." The others agreed with this suggestion.

Finally, a group of people followed here, the tavern of the dark guild "One-Eyed Snake".

But what they didn't expect was that the other party had already spotted Erza and his party following them on the road, so they activated the mechanism immediately after entering the tavern.

Erza and the others didn't know that everyone had been exposed, so they followed them to a tavern or something and broke in directly. Unexpectedly, there were many traps here, and even more unexpectedly, there were potions in the traps that could make people sleep. Because of Natsu's random collision, several people were all caught.

"This...this is...?!"

Erza's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, because not only were her hands tied behind her back, but her neck, wrists, and ankles were also shackled, and there were three or four layers of iron chains wrapped around her waist. No matter how hard she tried, He couldn't break free, not even with magic.

"It's the demon-sealing handcuffs!"

Since she had known about this kind of thing for a long time, Erza immediately realized what was restraining her, and her face was filled with annoyance: "Damn it! I was so careless!!"

The arrogant voice sounded again: "Careless? You are not careless! My trap is too perfect!! Hahaha!!!"

But Erza didn't even look at it, she just looked around to survey her surroundings.

This is an iron prison. There are not only myself, Natsu and others locked up in the cage, but also a bunch of unknown children and women. Other than that, there is nothing else. Even the sacks used to contain people have been thrown away. Outside the iron prison.

At this time, Natsu and others were still in a coma. Like themselves, they were all bound by demon-sealing shackles and chains. Even Habi and Xia Lulu were locked in iron cages. Hubby slept soundly, with a touch of drool in his mouth. Anyone could tell what he was dreaming about.

As for the children and women, they looked like ordinary people at first glance, so they seemed to use ordinary chains and handcuffs. They were awake, but at this time they all huddled up in a ball in panic, not daring to speak or look up at anyone.

"Is this really the kidnapper's den? Don't be afraid, we will all be able to get out soon!" Erza comforted those who were helpless.

Hearing Erza's voice, these people had only three reactions: the first looked up at her, with a light of hope in their eyes; the second still looked gloomy and shook his head at her; the third turned a deaf ear. Continue to bow his head and remain silent.

The smaller the reaction, the more sallow and skinny the people. When Erza saw it, she immediately knew: These people must have been kidnapped here for a while, so they lost the will to resist. However, judging from their condition, it seems that the people in this place did not punish them with whippings or other punishments.

The arrogant man's voice sounded for the third time: "Hey!! Woman!! I'm talking to you, do you hear me!! Kneel down and beg for mercy. I can consider being a little nicer to you~"

"This really... reminds me of a bad experience..." Erza sighed, murmured in a low voice and then shouted loudly, "Natsu!! Gray!! Lucy!! Wendy!! Get up quickly!!!"

After shouting several times, Natsu and the others woke up one by one, then shook their heads for a while, and finally regained their consciousness. After noticing the surrounding situation, he started shouting again.

"Lucy~ Is it morning?"

"No! Natsu, wake up! We are tied up!"

"Nani?! What is this place?"

"It must be those guys' lair!"

"I seemed to smell something, and then I fainted..."

"It's sleep smoke!"

"Damn it!! Can't use magic?! Are they magic handcuffs?"

After a moment of commotion, Natsu and Gray stood up and shouted: "You bastards!! Let us out quickly!!"

Unexpectedly, the two suddenly stood up, triggering a series of chain reactions: Natsu dragged Lucy beside him to the ground, and Gray dragged Erza to the ground.

"ah!!!"

thump! thump!

"What's going on?! What did you two do?!"

"This...this is..."

A few people took a closer look and discovered that the chains of several people were entangled together: the chain and the shackles were originally one body. It passed through the two round holes on one person's handcuffs, wrapped twice around the body, and then passed through the other. The shackles on a person's feet are then returned to his body twice, and finally the shackles are returned to his wrists.

In this way, one person's handcuffs are connected to another person's legcuffs, eventually forming a loop, connecting them all together.

In this way, their range of movement will be limited (they must move with the large group), and they can only maintain a sitting or lying position (once someone's handcuffs are too high, someone will fall to the ground because the chain is not long enough) ), because the number of people in a set is an odd number (five people), and they cannot move in a "one-stop-one-down" manner.

The way they are connected is this: Natsu (feet) - Erza (hands/feet) - Gray (hands/feet) - Wendy (hands/feet) - Lucy (hands/feet) - Na here (hand)

"What kind of weird binding method is this?!!!"×5
