Chapter 123 News from Uru
A small town in the northern continent, perpetually covered in ice and snow.
Uru sat in front of a fruit stand in the central square, holding an apple in his hand.
"When I first arrived, I was really shocked. I never expected this place to become so prosperous."
Looking at the dense cluster of buildings and the bustling scene of people coming and going, Uru took a bite of his apple and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the railway opened in town a couple of years ago, making transportation more convenient, which naturally attracted many more tourists and adventurers."
The fruit stall owner, with freckles on her face, smiled sweetly, all eyes fixed on her old friend in front of her.
"Compared to this, it's so good that Uru was able to break free from her frozen state!" She wiped away tears of joy from the corners of her eyes.
Uru was well aware of the immense trouble and even life-threatening danger that such a shocking event as "resurrection" would bring to Chase.
Therefore, she claimed that it took her ten years to overcome the side effects of absolute freezing and regain her physical body.
The claim that she was originally a powerful user of ice-shaped magic is somewhat plausible.
More importantly, the ten-year time limit can deter mages who attempt to use absolute freeze.
"Haha, I guess I'm just incredibly lucky, and my life wasn't meant to end there."
Uru chuckled and scratched his head, gratitude gleaming deep in his eyes.
She was indeed lucky to have met Chase; otherwise, she wouldn't have met the grown-up Grey and Leon, let alone reunited with her "resurrected" daughter!
It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't get revenge on Brian for deceiving me and experimenting on Ultear—the magic development research institute from back then is now just ruins.
"By the way, Uru, you said you've already met those two little guys, Gray and Leon. How are they doing now?" the fruit stall owner asked with a smile.
Because of the improved transportation, even though she was in the northern continent, she had seen news about Fairy Tail to some extent.
I'm not quite sure if that troublesome Gray is the same "little guy" I know.
As for Leon, there was no news at all.
"Gray is currently in Fairy Tail, and it seems Leon is preparing to join the mage guild Boa Hancock Scale?"
Uru rested his elbow on the front desk, propped his cheek up with his hand, and complained rather irritably, "Gray's alright."
"That Leon guy has completely forgotten what I taught him!"
"What does 'teaching' mean?"
"Take off your clothes and let your body better experience the natural environment and the magical elements contained in the air."
The fruit stall owner was a little embarrassed.
That doesn't seem like a proper good habit!
She didn't understand the world of mages, so she could only awkwardly laugh and change the subject: "They're all very famous guilds. So, Uru, what are your plans for the future?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll go back to Ishgar in a few days, since the children are all there."
Uru's eyes flickered as he looked at the piece of fruit he had bitten off, and he said in a deep voice, "Moreover, the level of magic over there is much stronger than that of Isbon."
She was already quite obsessed with the study of demonic arts, the kind of fanatic who would forget to eat and sleep.
The current ten-year gap will undoubtedly give rise to a richer system of magical cultivation and knowledge, requiring a significant amount of time for research and exploration.
Even setting aside personal factors, Uru had to do this.
If we can't keep up with the times, we won't be able to protect Greyion and Ultear!
The elderly mother was extremely worried. "Oh, is that so?" The fruit stall owner seemed somewhat dejected and reluctant.
However, since her friend had made this decision, she naturally supported it unconditionally.
"Well then, I wish you success! Let's keep in touch!"
"Definitely, and if I have time, I'd like to bring those two brats back for some experience."
"Really? Remember to invite them over for the fruit meal!"
"no problem!"
Magnolia.
The gentle morning sunlight pierced through the thin clouds and fell on the bustling construction site of Fairy Tail.
In the area separated by the fence, in front of the temporary bar, there is an additional board and a set of neatly arranged tables and chairs.
After all, it's a magic guild, and Fairy Tail members can't stay at the construction site for long.
So after a few days of adjustment, starting today, the guild's commissions are reopened, and everyone can work normally in this temporary area as before.
Lucy and Mira were chatting at the bar.
"Mira, won't this affect the construction progress of the new guild?"
Lucy turned around and glanced at her companions, who were sitting there looking completely relaxed:
Macao and Wakaba were discussing the beautiful women's photos in their hands with lewd expressions.
While using the book of secret arts given to her by Chesgo, Kana was also drinking heavily while hugging a barrel of wine (she supposedly said that this was also a form of training).
Jett and Troy, meanwhile, were vying to let Levy eat the breakfast they had brought.
"If Lucy is concerned, I can help you apply to the president to work as a laborer at the construction site."
As she spoke, Mira took out her magical communication crystal ball to contact Makarov.
"Wait, wait! Mira, that's not what I meant!"
Lucy panicked immediately and quickly tried to stop her.
She was just saying it casually; if she were actually "assigned" to a construction site to carry bricks, it would be a complete disaster!
"Oh dear, that's a bit of a shame. You get 1 J a day." Mira said with a smile.
"1 J? How come I've never heard of that before?!" Lucy's eyes immediately lit up.
For a fleeting moment, she was truly moved.
"This is a privilege only for guild members."
Mira rested her chin on her hand and said, "I heard from the guild leader that someone anonymously invested 1 billion in the guild's reconstruction. He's currently negotiating with the construction company to get the best materials and the best workers."
"What?! A billion?!"
Lucy's reaction was even more exaggerated than Makarov's; her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"When I heard this good news, even I was quite surprised."
After saying that, Mira's eyes darted around, and she pretended to be confused, staring intently at Lucy. "I've only ever received reports and complaint notices before. I wonder who has such great abilities. I'm really curious."
In the Kingdom of Fiore, there are not many people who can come up with such a large sum of money at once, let alone donate it to the guild without expecting anything in return or for their reputation.
Within the guild, the only person who knows such a wealthy person is Lucy from the Heartfilia Consortium.
Given that Nazgray and others mentioned yesterday that "Jiude is a very approachable person," the donor of this anonymous investment of unknown origin naturally comes to light, and there is no other possibility.
Upon hearing this, Lucy lowered her eyes and stared at the bar, lost in thought.
Could it be that person? That's unlikely!
No, if it were now...
Even if Lucy were incredibly dense, she would have realized the obvious problem.
