Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 227: the cruel truth

Chapter 227 The Cruel Truth

The joy of victory disappeared because of Wendy's words.

Wendy's own mood may be even heavier than theirs. She was the first to discover this fact, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

"What do you mean she's dead a long time ago? Liz is the child who needs to be treated by a doctor this time, right?"

Natsu hasn't seen Liz yet, but he already finds it unbelievable when he hears Wendy's words.

Erza and Rhodes couldn't accept it even more. They had clearly seen her before dark, together with Wendy.

He is obviously a very cute child, he can be seen and touched...

Wendy wiped away her tears and insisted on explaining her findings clearly:

"My dragon-slaying secret, Galaxy, is the magic that can listen to the voice of dragon souls. Not only that, it can also help me detect human souls.

I originally thought that Ms. Liz's appearance might be caused by something wrong with her soul, but after using Galaxy, I discovered...

The Miss Liz we see is just her soul..."

The cruel truth hits everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer. Such a cute and pitiful child is actually an undead?

Rhodes believed that Wendy would not lie, but it was hard for him to believe such a bizarre thing:

"No, the soul should be invisible and intangible. It can only be seen with the help of special magic, or can be seen by others.

Wendy also said that she can detect people's souls with the help of the Milky Way. Why didn't Liz...we didn't feel the slightest bit of magic from her? "

"Maybe it's because of the heart." Erza said with a heavy tone. She thought of the words of the grandfather who told her what magic was a long time ago.

"Everything starts from the heart of belief. Divination, wishing, and belief can all become magic. It is a miracle that only those who 'believe' can feel."

Erza closed her eyes, freed herself from the memory, and continued her reasoning:

"Maybe before Liz escaped from the Black Magic Order, she had...but she didn't know she was dead, she just wanted to go back to her parents.

This strong desire, and the fact that she didn't know she was dead, kept her in her current state, staying with her parents for such a long time. "

Wendy was already crying. Xia Lulu turned her back and wiped her tears. There were also tears in Habi's eye sockets.

It was just a child who wanted to return to his parents.

Natsu felt angry and didn't know who to target. The Black Magic Order had been wiped out and the demon had been defeated, but what about Liz?

"What is this? If this kind of thing can really produce miracles, let the child come to life!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Natsu."

Erza lowered her eyes. She had seen Grandpa Rob fall down to protect her. She also hoped that Grandpa Rob could stand up again countless times, but...

"Life is such a fragile thing. If you lose it, you can never get it back."

"Damn it!" Natsu's fist hit the ground. Anyone who heard this would feel sorry for Liz.

Rhodes was silent. This mission was the one that made him feel most powerless.

It's true in terms of combat, and it's true in terms of life.

The lack of combat power can be filled by companions, but how can the loss of life be restored?

It would be better to say that all his efforts and caution so far were all to avoid this kind of thing happening to himself and the people he cares about.

The only way to prevent something like Liz from happening is to kill both the Dark Guild and the Black Magic Order.

That's not something he can do alone.

You can try your best to kill every black magic cult you encounter.

Rhodes sighed: "How can I tell Mr. Joppa this kind of truth..."

Everyone looked sad. A few of them were already so uncomfortable knowing the truth. Liz's parents must be so sad.

It’s just that things always have to be faced. …

Early the next morning, everyone came to the client's door silently.

It was late at night when they returned to the hotel yesterday, but the wounded who deserved a good rest had no sleep all night.

So did Mr. Joppa. He and Mrs. Ivey stayed at their daughter's bedside all night. In the morning, although I was sleepy, I still finished washing up early and prepared to go to the hotel to ask the magicians for follow-up consultations.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw the magicians standing in a row in front of his house.

Mr. Joppa was stunned for a moment, took two steps out the door, bowed and said:

"Thank you for your help. Liz woke up early last night. This is the first time she woke up early after fainting! Please also ask for the follow-up treatment!"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

Erza asked: "When will Liz wake up?"

Mr. Joppa said a time, and everyone did the math, and it was almost exactly the time for Canibo to dissipate.

There is probably a connection between the two, but it's not important now.

Rhodes said solemnly: "Mr. Joppa, I have something to tell you alone. Please... come out."

The joy on Mr. Joppa's face gradually disappeared. He looked at the serious or sad expressions of several people and had a bad guess in his heart.

…

Rhode carefully organized his words to inform Mr. Joppa of their whereabouts last night, revealing the cruel truth bit by bit.

Finally, Erza added the speculation she had just perfected: "The magic circle painted with blood that we saw on the altar that day should be her blood.

At that time, the summoning ritual may have been halfway completed. The demon devoured Liz's flesh and blood, but her soul escaped.

Perhaps because of this, the demon was not awakened on the spot, but took a while to wake up and continued to attack the seal.

Judging from what was just said, every time Liz fainted, it was probably when the demon attacked the seal. Now that the demon is gone, she..."

Erza rarely hesitated when speaking: "I won't be disturbed by demons anymore."

After saying the important words, everyone turned their eyes away, and no one dared to look into Mr. Joppa's eyes.

Mr. Joppa's lips moved and he could not speak. He felt in his pocket and took out the cigarette case and matchbox.

Crack, click... Because my hand was shaking, I couldn't light the match after striking it several times.

Natsu silently stretched out his finger to light it for him.

Mr. Joppa said nothing and squatted in the corner, breathing smoke.

Wendy couldn't help it first and bowed deeply in front of Joppa: "Mr. Joppa, I'm sorry!"

Her long dark blue hair fell from her shoulders, and her tears fell to the ground first.

Wendy sympathized with Liz's experience and blamed herself for being powerless.

Joppa raised his head and looked at Wendy with red and swollen eyes.

This is a very cute little girl. Joppa felt this way from the first time they met. He believed that when his daughter grows up to this age, she will be cuter than Wendy.

But now, there is nothing.
