Chapter 112
After the butler arranged the three people, the servants carried out the butler's orders in an orderly manner. Then the butler walked up to Leila and said sincerely: "Thank you again, Master Leila."
"No, I'm ready to leave." Leila said to the butler. She saw the three people from the assassination guild being taken away from the corner of her eyes. As for where they were taken, Leila didn't know. She only saw the three people being dragged to the back of the villa.
"Master Leila, it's getting late now, please take a rest. Besides, there may not be only three of them. Please consider it, Master Leila." When the butler heard Leila's words, his eyes flickered and he said with some concern. Although he was worried, Leila couldn't see any expression on the butler's face.
"It's okay. I've checked their memories. Only three of them accepted this assassination mission. Moreover, the content of the mission... The Duke will not be harmed. I don't think anyone from the assassination guild will come."
Lila said calmly, staring at the butler. Unfortunately, she didn't see anything from his expression. The butler was too calm, but being too calm explained the problem.
When the butler heard that Leila had checked her memory, his breathing stopped for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. Leila didn't notice it. Then the butler pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, then, Master Leila, have a safe journey."
"Le... Leila... Your Excellency, you were amazing just now!" At this time, Savalu hurried out of the villa, the fat on his face swaying as he ran, and his squinting eyes finally opened, full of admiration.
"Not bad." Leila's mouth twitched.
"What exactly is Lord Leila's magic? Can you demonstrate it again?" Savalou's eyes sparkled, and he looked up at Leila excitedly.
"I'm sorry, Duke Savalou, I've consumed too much magic power, and I have to go back." Leila was stared at with a chill, and she resisted decisively.
Savalou was visibly discouraged, feeling sorry in her heart, and then she became afraid: "You're leaving now? What if someone comes to kill me?"
"It's okay now, no one will kill you." Leila shook her head to indicate that Savalou didn't have to worry.
"Really?" Savalou's hands tightly grasped Leila's arms, and shook them excitedly.
Leila looked at Savalou and continued to ask questions in disbelief, and confirmed again and again: "Don't worry, Duke Savalou."
While Leila's attention was on Savalou's greasy hands, Savalou glanced at the butler, who nodded slightly behind Leila, and Savalou understood instantly.
Savalou smiled and was a little happy, but thinking of Leila's imminent departure, he said with a bitter face: "Okay, then you go back and say hello to Lucy for me."
"Uh...Okay." Leila nodded with a stiff smile, then turned around and prepared to leave.
[Fatty, Lucy doesn't even know who you are. ] Leila turned around and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"Leila, I'll take you to the door." Savalou suddenly said.
"No, thank you Duke for your kindness." Leila refused without thinking.
"Well, be careful on the road." Savalou smiled and waved his hand.
Leila's figure gradually disappeared from the eyes of the two, leaving only the Duke of Savalou and the butler standing there.
Savalou said: "You say, he is so anxious to go back, did he find something?"
"I don't know, young master." The butler responded respectfully on the side.
"It would be great if you could express your opinion someday." Savalou looked back at the butler.
"The young master is here." The butler said with his head down.
Savalou could tell that the butler was flattering him, but he didn't care. He immediately asked, "How are the three people?"
"They have been locked up in the dungeon and are under strict guard. They can be taken at any time..." The butler bent down and replied with his head down.
"Okay, take them to confront the old man tomorrow. This way, his company will have no chance. It's worth my effort to arrange someone next to him to issue this task."
"Yes, Master."
"Lila, you are worthy of being the wizard of Fairy Tail. Your name behind the scenes is also very loud. And your magic is really interesting." Savalu adjusted his glasses, and suddenly thought of something and said to the butler: "Oh, by the way, let's put the plan for the Heartfilia Consortium on hold for the time being."
"Yes!"
"By the way, tell our partners about the information and say that Leila has returned quickly."
The butler nodded and left quickly. Back in the room, he took out the communication magic crystal and talked to someone. Savalu looked in the direction where Leila left, squinting his eyes, with a smile on his face..
Sitting in the train station waiting for the train, Leila recalled the commission that the Three Crows had taken on in her memory, which was to intimidate the Duke of Savalou, causing harm but not his life.
The content of this mission was very subtle, and the butler and the servants were not surprised by it. It was obvious that all this was like they directed and acted it themselves. The butler even saved the three people, obviously wanting to find out something.
Leila sighed. This commission was really ridiculous, but she smiled in an instant. The reward this time was very generous. After all, it was the Duke, so generous.
"Woo woo woo..."
Hearing the sound of the train, the staff also came to the platform and began to organize the crowd to get on the train. After checking the tickets for the conductor, Leila took the train directly to Magnolia.
The next morning, Leila was sleeping soundly on the train, and was suddenly awakened by the vibration. Leila took out the communication magic crystal from her backpack, looked around, cast a barrier, and then connected the communication.
What came was Mira's anxious voice: "Lila! It's bad, ghosts attacked the guild?"
Lila's face turned gloomy, frowning and saying: "Those damn guys!"
After further questioning, Mira just said that the guild was attacked, and the president asked him about his work. If he finished, he should come back quickly. If he didn't finish, he should continue to work and don't worry about the guild.
"I'll be back soon!" The train ran for half the night and is expected to arrive in Magnolia this afternoon. Everything is still in time.
There is no fight yet, it's just the first day of being attacked by Gajeel, so Levi should be tonight.
He hung up the call and looked out the window. Leila had set up a spell barrier in the guild before, and used magic crystals to support the operation of the barrier. Now it seems that they came prepared and have already learned the information. They must have brought spells and destroyed the barrier to have an opportunity.
As he thought about it, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Why did the Phantom start a war? With his four elements and Gajeel, it should be because most of the S-class wizards in the guild were not there, so they took this opportunity to fight for the last time.
Soon, Leila returned to Magnolia. The residents in the town were talking about it. Leila looked from a distance and saw that the guild was still the same. Although he was a little confused, he was relieved.
After kicking the door of the guild open, everyone just looked up at Leila, and then lowered their heads to drink wine without saying anything.
Leila knew everyone's mood, but she couldn't take action at the moment. Any armed resistance between guilds was strictly prohibited.
Walking in, Leila didn't see Erza and Natsu. They were probably on a mission.
Leila didn't say much, walked to Mira and asked, "I'm back, where's the old man?"
"The president drank too much just now and went to the toilet!" Mira was also a little disappointed. Seeing Leila, she still forced a smile and looked at him.
"Wasn't the guild attacked?"
"Ultia restored the guild to its original state. She is now recovering her magic in the room."
Hearing Mira's words, Leila nodded, and then Mira brought a glass of wine to Leila.
Leila took a sip of the wine glass, and just then a voice sounded behind him: "Hmm... Leila is back, how is the work?"
"It's okay, it's pretty simple."
Makarov nodded after hearing it, and then picked up the wine and wanted to clink glasses with Leila: "That's good, come, let's drink together."
"Old man, when will we fight back?" Leila clinked glasses with him, but didn't drink, but asked seriously.
After Leila said this, everyone in the guild turned their heads and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Makarov's answer.
Makarov waved his hand and said with disdain: "A group of guys who can only sneak attack, don't pay attention to them."
