"Name."
"Gerard Fernandez."
"age."
"19."
"gender."
"Are you serious? Noah?"
"Watch your attitude, Officer Wallian. Call me Detective Noah." Noah knocked on the table with a serious expression.
Wallian stopped reading Jellal's mind and turned speechlessly to look at Noah who was playing the role of the sheriff. He really had nothing better to do than to come and interrogate Jellal with Noah.
Also, why can he play the sheriff while I can only play a police officer? It's not fair.
"Come on, Wallian, don't you see that Natsu and I can only play supporting roles as guards?"
Standing on the left and right behind Jellal, Gray's face was full of unhappiness, but "brainless" Natsu felt it was very novel. After all, he was always the one being interrogated when he went to the police station, and the experience of changing his perspective was very interesting to him.
These bastards…what do they think interrogation is!
Playing house?
Jellal listened to the four people around him complaining to each other, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth but could do nothing.
Volian's "telepathy" magic is a kind of magic that transmits conversations through the mind. It has no combat power and its function is limited to transmitting information. It can be regarded as a strategic auxiliary magic.
But with Volian's unremitting development, he finally developed an extremely amazing function of "telepathy" – mind reading.
As long as the target is of similar strength or has weaker magic power than himself, Volian can read the other person's current thoughts.
For a strong man like Jellal, "mind reading" should have no effect on him at all.
However, due to Jellal's weak body and mental fatigue, and the fact that a great battle consumed a lot of magic power, Volian successfully took advantage of the opportunity and used "mind reading" on Jellal.
Gerard tried his best to calm himself down and not have any thoughts, but the interference from his surroundings made it impossible for him to do so.
"Let's get back to business."
After Noah and his companions complained to each other, they once again turned their attention to the person who was suspected to be his brother's counterpart in the world of Ascalante.
"Jellal, what is your relationship with Erza?"
After these words were spoken, Natsu, Gray and Wallian all quieted down and stared at Jellal, especially Natsu and Gray. Although the two of them were beaten by Erza since they were young, the friendship between the three of them has never been broken.
After successfully defeating Jellal, Erza claimed to be tired and went back to the dormitory to rest, but everyone could see that something was wrong with her mood.
The reason for all this is Gerald.
That's why Noah asked Walliam to "read his mind".
Hearing the name of the red-haired girl, Gerard's heart was filled with indescribable complex thoughts, but Volian still keenly grasped one piece of information.
Both Jellal and Erza were once slaves of the Tower of Paradise.
"Tower of Paradise? What is that? It sounds like the name of an amusement park." Natsu scratched his head, confused.
Gray quickly retorted: "Idiot, there are no slaves in an amusement park."
Just as the Ice and Fire were about to bicker again, Noah stopped them, "I know the Tower of Paradise. To be precise, this name is just a code name."
"Its real name should be the 'R System'. It is said to be created by a black magician. It is a black magic that can bring the dead back to life."
When he heard the name of the Dark Mage, Volian's face changed.
In the continent of Ishgar, the black magician has a terrible reputation for being able to stop a baby from crying.
About 400 years ago, there appeared in this world a wizard who was a master of magic research and a powerful wizard. His name was Jellal.
It is said that no life can survive wherever Zeref passes, so he was given the name "Dark Magician" by people at that time.
The magic invented by the black magician is naturally called black magic. Because black magic is too terrible, it has been strictly prohibited by the Magic Council for more than 400 years.
Noah organized his thoughts and told a story from "Wonderful Cases of the Magic Council" that he had read.
"About 10 years ago, a black magic cult that believed in black magicians obtained the production process of the "R System" and invested a lot of money and manpower in it, intending to build 8 "R Systems"."
"In order to better conceal their plan, the Black Magic Cult named this project 'Tower of Paradise' and secretly captured and traded a large number of people, enslaving them to build the Tower of Paradise."
"Seven years ago, reports of missing people from various places attracted the attention of the Magic Council and various magic guilds. They followed the clues and discovered what the Black Magic Cult had done."
"In the same year, under the wrath of thunder from all sides, the Tower of Paradise was successfully destroyed."
After hearing Noah's words, Gray clenched his fists. Seven years ago was exactly the time when Erza joined Fairy Tail.
Now Gray finally understood why Erza always hid away and cried alone at that time.
The Black Magic Cult, damn it!
Jellal was also a victim of the Tower of Paradise, but he took a completely opposite path from Erza.
One embraces the light, the other falls into darkness.
It's so sad.
Noah sighed slightly, and saw Wallian's face change drastically. It seemed that he had read some important news from Gerard's heart.
Before Noah could ask, Volian blurted out, "The Magic Council did not destroy all the towers of paradise. There is still one tower that has not been exposed and remains!"
Volian stared at Gerard, "This guy is the owner of the last Paradise Tower! And he has already completed most of the construction."
"What's missing now…"
"hateful!"
Seeing that Volian was about to read out his plan, Gerard tried his best to avoid being exposed.
While Natsu and Gray were not paying attention, Jellal slammed his head against the corner of the table and knocked himself unconscious.
Looking at the blood on Jellal's head, Noah did not expect that he would be so cruel to himself. It seems that the Tower of Paradise has an extremely important position in his heart. In order not to be exposed, he can even commit self-harm.
Let Gray and the other two send Jellal to the infirmary, while Noah himself goes to report to Makarov.
In the office, Makarov, Zeke Rein, and Doranbart were arguing about to which side Jellal should be handed over.
Zeke Rein wants to escort Gerard back to the Council himself.
But Doranbart said that this was the job of the action team and the senator did not need to do it personally. Moreover, even if he was escorted back to the Council, the job of interrogating Gerard would only fall into the hands of the action team.
One side used its status to pressure the other side, while the other side argued with reason, and Makarov could hardly get a word in.
Just then, Noah pushed the door open and joked with the two of them, "It's really strange that the office is so lively, don't you think, President?"
After Makarov and Noah looked at each other, they immediately realized that Volian had made significant progress in reading Gerard's mind. It was really a good thing that he brought Doranbart with him to restrain Zeke Rein together.
"Zeke, Jellal is being captured by our guild."
"In my opinion, it is better for me to personally escort such a dangerous person to the Council."
Seeing Makarov's abnormal behavior, Dolanbart immediately agreed.
Seeing that the two people had the same opinion, Zeke Rein had no choice but to agree. Anyway, with him mediating, the Council would not be able to learn the information from the main body.
Unfortunately, Zeke Rein didn't know that Fairy Tail had a wizard who could read minds, and his original form, Jellal, had already shown his weakness.
