Port of Magnolia.
Noah, who was originally planning to bring some discounted fries with cheese, discovered a luxuriously shaped ship docked at the dock, attracting a lot of onlookers, and Noah naturally followed to watch the fun.
The first ones to get off the ship were two dark green humanoid toads wearing white robes. They held wands that were twice as tall as themselves and stood on both sides of the gangway, one on the left and one on the right.
One of the toads spoke in human language.
"We are the envoys of the Council of Representatives. The members are traveling. Please don't make any noise."
"Council?!"
"Member of Parliament!"
"Why would such a big shot come to a small place like ours?"
"Wow! A talking toad!"
"…"
Not only did these words fail to quiet the crowd, but they caused more discussion, which made the Toad Messenger feel a little embarrassed.
In the past, when I went to other cities, as long as I revealed my identity, the ordinary people who watched me would all be very respectful to me. But in Magnolia, this approach had no effect at all, and was even treated as a spectacle.
This is no longer just ordinary people.
They must be made aware of the majesty of the Council!
A toad touched the ground with its magic wand, and immediately a powerful pressure spread out.
Even though it was just a magic without any offensive power, it was used on the masses in broad daylight. Could the toads in the Council be so arrogant?
Just as Noah handed the bag of potato chips to Cheese and was about to teach the toad a lesson in secret, a gentle voice stopped the toad messenger from casting magic.
"Please stop."
The two toad messengers' faces changed, and they quickly turned around and bowed their heads respectfully, "Sir, I'm really sorry, these unruly people are a bit bold…"
"Toad Envoy, our Magic Council is here to maintain order, not to oppress the people."
It was still a gentle tone, but it made the two toads feel as if they were falling into an icy cave. They broke out in cold sweats and quickly nodded their heads in agreement.
A figure slowly walked out of the cabin. It was a young man.
He was wearing the uniform white uniform of the Council, and beneath his dark blue hair was a handsome face that had charmed thousands of girls. The mark on his right cheek made him exude even more mystery.
"It's…it's…it's Zeke Rein!"
"He's so handsome!"
"He is indeed a man who can compete with Rocky for the top spot on the 'I want him to be my boyfriend' list."
"Mr. Congressman, I heard that you had an improper relationship with your female subordinate. Is that true?"
"Master Zeke, how many girlfriends do you have?"
"…"
Listening to all the rumors that shocked himself, Zeke Rein was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
As the youngest member in the history of the Senate, Zeke Rein has an unusually high reputation.
Not only does he possess the strength of Saint Ten, his appearance alone has attracted the admiration of thousands of young girls, and he is often surrounded by crowds of female fans wherever he goes.
But what Zeke Rein didn't expect was that not many people in Magnolia paid attention to his appearance. Instead, they showed extraordinary enthusiasm for his unfounded rumors and gossip.
Noah started to eat potato chips again with a crunch, looking at the young congressman's face with an unconcealed surprise. One can only say that the city where Fairy Tail exists is like this. There are so many handsome men and beautiful women that naturally they are more interested in eating melons.
Zeke Rein quickly calmed down and entered the city with the Toad Messenger leading the way.
However, when passing by the crowd on both sides, Zeke Rein unexpectedly discovered that among the people watching him, there was a white-haired boy who looked somewhat similar to himself.
There are so many people in this world who look alike. Zeke Rein was just a little surprised and didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he had no relatives.
After buying some snacks at the discount store, Noah petted the cat and followed Zeke Rein leisurely. He was very curious about what brought this guy, who was suspected to be from the dark forces, to Magnolia.
Noah soon found out.
Because Zeke Rein entered a building, Fairy Tail.
Are you here to visit Makarov? After all, your president is also a long-standing figure in the magic world.
Noah suddenly felt bored and planned to go see the man he rescued.
However, when they arrived at the hotel, a man in a black robe caught Noah's attention. His ability of "malice perception" made him realize that the man in the black robe had ill intentions.
The malice was not directed at Noah, so he did not take action immediately, but pretended to follow the man in black robe.
In front of room 404, the man in black robe stopped and looked back at Noah, while Noah continued to pretend to be a tenant, walking past him with cheese in his arms until he disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Room 404 was the room that Noah arranged for the undercover man. Only a few people who participated in the Silent Town commission and Makarov knew about it.
Noah smiled playfully and whispered something into Cheese's ear, and the kitten immediately spread its wings and used magic to fly away.
————————————————————
In room 404, after treatment with winter snow grass, the man's condition improved a lot and he could even get out of bed and move around.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and thinking back on what had happened in the past two days, the man named Angke was very grateful to the people who saved him. However, he felt regretful when he thought that he had not told his saviors his name.
Just then, there was a noise at the door of the hotel room.
Is it the hotel waiter who comes to deliver the meal?
No, they knock on the door beforehand.
As an intelligence officer who dared to go undercover in the dark guild, Angko's experience made him immediately alert. He touched the door silently, waited for the other party to open the door, and then controlled him.
With a creak, the door slowly opened and a figure walked in. As he was wearing a black robe, Angko, who was hiding behind the door, couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could tell that the other person had bad intentions.
The injured body did not hinder Angko's actions. He gathered the little magic power he had recovered and a magic bullet took shape in his hand. However, the magic that Angko had summoned with all his strength was extinguished by the black-robed man with a casual wave of his hand.
However, at that moment, the light of the magic bullet still illuminated the face of the man in black robe. He was a blue-haired young man with a mark on his right cheek.
"It's you!"
Angko recognized the identity of the person at once.
There is only one person in the entire Ishgar continent who has such appearance features, and he is a powerful wizard who recently took over the position of the tenth member of the Magic Council.
Zeke Rein!
Different from the smiling face of He Xu in the promotional newspaper, this "Zike Rein" gave Angko only a feeling of indifference and deep contempt.
Unleashing all his magic power with all his might, Anko knew that he was no match for the great wizard who was about to become one of the Holy Ten. A benefactor who saved him said that their guild was nearby and all he had to do was light up the signal.
"sucker Punch."
The blue-haired young man sneered, and the heavy magic power condensed into a faint starlight, which instantly defeated the already injured Angko, and his unhealed wounds immediately burst open.
The huge gap made the man feel desperate. Life was clearly just outside the hotel, but he could do nothing.
"Damn rat, why don't you just die quietly? Why do you have to cause me trouble?"
Looking down at the struggling Anko, the blue-haired young man expressionlessly mobilized his magic power and gathered a very common fire magic in his hands.
To silence someone, you naturally can't use your magic.
I feel a little sorry that I couldn't see my family again; I feel a little sorry that I couldn't expose the evildoer; I feel a little sorry that I betrayed my boss's trust…
In an instant, Angko thought of a lot of things and was in a surprisingly calm mood. His appearance surprised and puzzled the blue-haired young man.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Everyone will die. I've lived a brave enough life. I shouldn't be the one to be afraid."
The blue-haired young man fell silent. It seemed as if he once had the courage to face death bravely… At this moment, the blue-haired young man actually didn't want to kill this person who might ruin his plan.
Unfortunately, it was just a momentary thought. He had already hurt so many people, and he didn't care about one more.
"Bye now..."
"Hey, why are you taking so long to kill someone? It makes me anxious. Do you want me to help you?"
A lazy voice suddenly came, and the blue-haired young man who was interrupted turned his head to look.
At some point, the white-haired boy leaned against the door frame.
Following the light and seeing the appearance of the man in black robe, Noah couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He looks exactly like Zeke Ryan.
If the blue-haired young man who just went to the guild was "Zeke Rein", then who is this man in black robe?
