Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Erza frowned: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly became interested."

(Actually, it was the previous president of [Devil's Heart] who said something about [Apocalypse], and said it was related to me - although I think he must have made a mistake, I still care a little.)

Sieg explained to Mira and Erza, the two people who knew the situation, using telepathy.

The two looked at each other, and then Mira gave an explanation: "I haven't read it, but I have heard that it is said to be a secret scroll that has been passed down from an unknown era and records quite a lot of ancient disasters."

"Does it include content like [Acnologia] and [Dragon King Festival]?"

"Akunologia? Dragon King Festival?"

When asked by Sieg, Mira held her chin and thought for a while: "Hmm... I'm not sure about this. If you are interested in this, I can go find the manuscript of the Apocalypse when we return to the guild. It should be in the guild's archives."

"Then I'll find it myself when the time comes. I won't bother you."

As he spoke, Sieg scooped another spoonful of lunch in his hand.

Since we don't know about [Acnologia] and [Dragon King Festival], we probably won't get any useful clues about [Wing King].

(After all, why would anything about me be passed down from 400 years ago?)

(In terms of time... could it be that I will go back 400 years at some point in the future?)

[It is not impossible, Lord Sieg]

Brunhilde's voice sounded at this moment.

[Combining Hades' words with the calculation, it is indeed very likely that Sieg-sama will travel back to the past in the future - many contractors have had the same experience in the past.]

[Some contractors are willing to go back to the past and change history in order to save their parents who died when they were young]

[In order to defeat a powerful enemy, some contractors choose to go back to the past and eliminate the person who has not yet grown up.]

[Some contractors decided to go back to the past and start over in order to change the current situation that has completely collapsed]

(.......Why does it seem like it’s so easy for us contractors to go back in time?)

【Not simple】

[In addition, I need to remind you that if you go back to the past or go to the future, you will temporarily lose contact with the Clinshid and we will not be able to provide you with support - of course, the Dragon Slayer System can operate normally.]

(Does that mean that other people cannot intervene in the past and the future?)

[Yes, so if you need to time travel, please be fully prepared]

(No, I don’t have that intention.)

Sieg shook his head.

(What if I go back in time and can never come back? I don't want to be alone in the past for 400 years.)

The thought of that situation was a little unbearable for Zigg.

[That’s the best]

[By the way, the remnants of the two demon hearts have been collected by Miss Stella and are currently imprisoned in the magic absorption device, waiting for your return to deal with them.]

(Yes, I understand—thank Stella for me.)

[Yes, I won't disturb you anymore. Please have a good rest.]

31. Goodbye Mavis

"——So, the person who finally became an S-class wizard was Miss Cana?"

Dusk.

On Sirius Island after the sun sets below the horizon.

After listening to the results of the second round of exams from those who took part in them, Sieg looked at the woman standing next to Makarov with some surprise.

——【Kana Alupelona】

She is a wizard who uses magic items instead of magic, and is the candidate that Lucy supports this time. She can use a variety of magic through various magic cards, and in a sense, she is a very versatile wizard.

By the way, it is said that she is the number one drunkard in Fairy Tail. It seems that 30% of the guild's annual alcohol expenses are consumed by her alone. She doesn't drink by the glass, but by the bucket!

"I didn't become an S-class wizard entirely by my own strength. If Lucy hadn't helped me along the way and given me the most important reminder, I wouldn't have been able to find the tombstone of the first president."

Kana touched the ends of her hair a little embarrassedly: "I will continue to work hard to improve myself and try my best to become a qualified S-class wizard."

"Well, that's your ambition, Cana." Erza nodded with a smile, "But there's no need to be too anxious, just take your time. It took me several years to grow up, so you don't need to be anxious either. If you have any questions, just ask me and Mira."

"That's right~~~ Although I'm not working anymore, I'm still an S-class wizard, so I can still give you some guidance~~~"

Mira also laughed.

And on the other side——

"Mmmmmmmm ahh ...

Natsu was now rolling on the ground, "Damn it! Cana got there first! I want to become an S-class wizard, too! Why isn't the first generation's graveyard on that island in the sky?!"

"He's not here, that's not something we can do about it, Natsu."

Happy consoled his partner.

Gray and Gajeel beside them also looked at Natsu with disgust.

"Don't be depressed, Natsu, you're not the only one who's depressed here, but since Cana passed, all we can do is congratulate her, right?"

"Even I understand this truth, Fire Dragon."

"What are you two talking about! When did I ever say I wouldn't congratulate Cana?"

(Oh my, they really are a bunch of people who make a lot of noise when they get together.)

Looking at Natsu and the others who were playing around, Sieg smiled slightly, and at this moment, Makarov suddenly winked at him.

Sieg understood what he meant and stood up immediately. While everyone else was celebrating Kana becoming an S-class wizard, he quietly walked towards the forest which was already shrouded in dusk and a little night.

--------------

Sieg didn't go far. He leaned against a big tree and waited for a while. Then Makarov came to him.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Ziggy."

This is what Makarov said as soon as they met.

Sieg smiled and waved his hand: "Didn't we say this this afternoon? Why are you still talking about this now, Mr. Makarov? The most important thing is that the S-class upgrade exam has been successfully completed, which is the most reassuring thing, isn't it?"

"Yes... But if you hadn't solved the [Devil's Heart], the exam would have been interrupted and the children would have been seriously injured. This is the only thing I must thank you for."

Makarov looked at Sieg.

"As a newcomer who has just joined the guild, I am so grateful to you for doing this for the guild. When I return to the guild, I will report this matter to the Magic Council and reward you according to the highest standards entrusted by the guild."

Magic Council.

Simply put, it is an organization that maintains order in the magic world and is responsible for managing all wizard guilds on the entire Ishgar continent. As for the strongest dark guild in the Balamu Alliance, the Devil's Heart, the Magic Council has been troubled for a long time. Now it has been annihilated by Sieg alone - although no one would believe it, it only needs a little polishing to become a great achievement of Sieg.

There will certainly be various rewards by then.

And as the president, Makarov must reward Sieg for his outstanding behavior this time.

"Let's not talk about the Magic Council for now. President, you don't need to spend too much. I'm not short of money. Money is really useless to me."

Zieg is definitely not being Versailles, but he really doesn't think money is useful.

After all, he is flying around in the universe, and the monetary system on each planet is different. Even if he becomes the richest man in the world on this planet, he will immediately become penniless when he goes to the next planet.

Therefore, the money on each planet is really useless to him. It would be better to exchange all the money into valuable hard currencies such as gold, diamonds, magic items, etc.

"But, President, if you really want to pay me, then answer a few questions for me. I have a few questions that I really want to know the answers to, and in my opinion, getting the answers is much more important than giving me money."

"Well...it's really rare to meet a kid like you."

Makarov sighed helplessly: "Well, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know."

"Have you heard about [Akunologia] and [Dragon King Festival]? Or about [Apocalypse]?"

Sieg asked again the question that he had not been able to get an answer from Mira and the others before.

Makarov was stunned: "Where did you hear this?"

Sieg raised his eyebrows. "The president of the Devil's Heart seems to have confused me with some character from the Apocalypse. He also said something that I care about a lot, so I wanted to ask you about it."

"Well......"

With his hands behind his back, Makarov's expression changed several times, and then he sighed heavily: "I have only heard of [Akunologia]. It is a black dragon recorded in the [Apocalypse] and the king of dragons. It is said that when it appears, the era will definitely end and the world will be destroyed. It is a demon dragon that brings disaster and the end."

"As for the Dragon King Festival, I'm not too sure—"

"Let me explain the Dragon King Festival, Sandaime."

As soon as Makarov finished speaking, an elf-like voice suddenly came from above their heads.

Then, a petite figure floated down from the sky in front of the two of them.

"You... No, are you——"

Makarov's old face was instantly filled with astonishment and admiration!

"——First generation?"

"Well, nice to meet you, Third Generation President."

Mavis, who had not been seen since they met in the morning, now appeared in front of Sieg again.

32. Dark Mage Zeref

The first president of Fairy Tail - Mavis.

Makarov had only read information about this first-generation guild leader in books. When the guild was first established, perhaps due to technical reasons, the appearance of this guild leader had not been passed down.

But even so, Makarov could be sure that the little girl in front of him was the first president who established the guild.

"I never thought... I never thought I would actually be able to meet the first president..."

Makarov's old face was full of emotion.

Mavis smiled slightly, "I am just a ghost. Actually, I have died a long time ago. I believe you know this. So, can you give me and Sieg some time? The third generation president. I have something to tell him."

"Yeah, of course no problem!"

After nodding heavily, Makarov turned and left the forest without staying for another second.

After watching him leave, Sieg looked at Mavis and asked, "Are you here for the matter of the Devil's Heart?"

"Well. Although the third-generation president has already expressed his gratitude, I must also thank you. Thank you for expelling the invader who invaded this island and protecting the children of the guild." Mavis said with a smile.

Sieg paused, "...But there is still one left. I sensed a magical reaction that does not belong to the guild. In addition to the [Seven Familiars of Purgatory] that I killed instantly, there is another one - I don't believe that you have been staying on Sirius Island without knowing the existence of that person."

"Moreover, in terms of distance, he is now less than two kilometers away from me and is walking towards me."

Having said that, Sieg looked in a certain direction, his sight penetrating the woods and the dusk light, projecting into the depths of the forest.

He could see a young man with black hair, gray eyes, wearing black clothes and a white cloth, walking along the forest road at dusk. He was not walking fast, but it was only a matter of time before he met him.

Mavis was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Well, I know, but he is not an intruder, just someone who came here to escape."

"Escape... Do you know that guy?"

"Yes - I am here to take you to see him. He can answer all the questions you want to know. Although I am reluctant to let the children of the guild meet him, but... follow me."

With a look of reluctance on her face, Mavis walked into the depths of the forest.

Sieg quickly followed.

Although Sieg could fly a distance of less than two kilometers in the blink of an eye with his leg strength, this time he matched Mavis's speed and walked in the forest with her one after the other.

The dusk light from the woods gradually dimmed as time went by, and finally sank completely below the sea level. The dark night gradually occupied the environment in the forest, and the dense tree canopy prevented the moonlight from completely shining in. Regardless of the fact that Sieg's own eyesight could ignore this level of darkness, Mavis's body seemed to glow, illuminating the way forward for Sieg.

Since both sides were moving towards each other, after a while——

"clatter......"

Pushing aside the branches that blocked his way, Sieg jumped down from a great height and landed lightly on an unusual open space.
