Fairy Tail: Sorcerer King

Chapter 37



"So what's going on?" Feng Ye looked at Makarov with a puzzled look and asked.

"Oh, this is a long story.……"Makarov sighed and said to Fengye with a sad face:

"A few years ago, a group of people who came from nowhere attacked a village near the sea. It is understood that they killed some people and abducted the rest... both children and the elderly.………"

"After the survivor reported the incident, everyone thought it was a common crime, albeit a serious one.………After all, according to the survivors, there were no wizards involved at the time, so the Council did not get involved either.……"

"But no one expected that the gang had done this more than once... About two years ago, someone in the capital compiled a list of recent crimes and finally discovered this incident.………"

"Until two years ago, more than a dozen villages near the sea were attacked... Until now, the country and the Council have sent out troops to strengthen the vigilance. Although it has effectively stopped the enemy's actions, until now, more than 20 villages have been attacked by them, and the number of people abducted by them is initially estimated to be more than a thousand.………"

Feng Ye listened to Makarov's story and touched his chin. He felt that he had some impression of this matter, but not much...

Just when Feng Ye felt that he had some impression of this matter, Makarov continued in a deep voice:

"Two years ago, although the intelligence did not include the involvement of wizards, the number of people in that group was also very large, so the Council announced its intervention in the matter after discussion. In addition to joining forces with the national army to strengthen coastal defense, it also issued this matter as a special commission to all guilds."

"It was then that Rob took on the task and went to investigate the matter.………"

Feng Ye tilted his head. The more he listened, the more familiar it sounded, but he couldn't remember it at all. Makarov ignored him and continued with a look of loneliness and worry:

"Rob lost contact a month after he left, and soon I received news that another seaside village was attacked by that group of people.………I knew then that Rob might have been kidnapped by that group of people.………"

"And until now... Rob has been out of touch for almost two years.…………"

"well………"Makarov sighed heavily. He looked at Feng Ye who had already sat down and said:

"So I want to ask you to help, not only for Rob, but also for those ordinary people who were abducted, please."

Feng Ye listened to Makarov raising his hand to scratch his cheek, thinking:

"I suspect you are kidnapping me, but I have no evidence.……"

Without thinking too much, Feng Ye sighed in his heart. He spread his hands helplessly to Makarov and said:

"President, I am very happy to help you... But I have a question, that is, do you know where the other party took the person abducted?"

Makarov was silent after hearing this, and then he replied:

"According to our calculations, the enemy's base camp should be on the sea. Not only is that their base camp, we also speculate that all the people they abducted are there."

"…………"Feng Ye was silent after hearing this. He wanted to say something dirty but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. After a moment, he said to Makarov with a helpless look on his face:

"President, I understand you mean………We don't even have any trace of the other side?"

Makarov was silent after hearing this, and nodded helplessly after a while.

Feng Ye:"(* ̄(エ) ̄)………"

"President, your job is a bit difficult to handle.………well………"Feng Ye felt that Makarov's favor was quite difficult to handle. He sighed and said to Makarov:

"Could you please give me a map that includes the sea area? I'll see if I can find something useful on it.…………"

After a while………

Fengye sat on the table, with one hand resting his chin, and the other hand tapping the tabletop, frowning and looking at the map on the table with a distressed look, with Pepe lying quietly at his feet.

Ulutia and Kana beside him also looked distressed, racking their brains to think of some clues that could help Fengye.

On one side of the table, Makarov folded his hands, frowning and looking at the map.

The first floor of the guild also became a little quiet because of their situation. Many people even took out maps and looked at them. Some people even took out the files of the matter.

"President, is this really the most detailed map?"After thinking for a long time, Feng Ye, who couldn't come up with a solution, threw the question on the map on the table and said to the silent Makarov.

"This is the most detailed map of the Kingdom of Fiore. In addition to some military bases, even some famous villages are marked on it.………well……"Makarov glanced at Feng Ye and said, then he turned his eyes to the map.

Feng Ye nodded secretly. After all, this map is full of place names. Of course, this map is a little smaller than the table in front of them, so it is not very detailed.

"Could it be that this was all a cover-up? They first attacked the seaside village, then entered the sea... In fact, their base camp is inland, and all this is just to cover up their tracks?" Ultear expressed her guess.

"Yeah, I think that's very likely, and their base may be in a very remote place, or even not in the Kingdom of Fiore."Kana continued after hearing what Ultiya said.

"Is this all to conceal the truth? Although it is possible, the cost of doing so is too high.……"Makarov nodded and said after listening to the two women's words

"Well, instead of attacking the coastal villages with frequent traffic, it is better to directly choose those remote villages where traffic and information transmission are slow. In this way, even if there are survivors, it will take much longer to spread the news."Feng Ye said

"Moreover, if they choose to stay in a remote place, once the news leaks out, no matter how well they hide, they will not be able to escape the search of a large number of wizards. On the contrary, it is different on the sea.………"Makarov said, his eyes always stayed on the sea area on the map.

"Although hiding at sea is a big advantage over hiding on the mainland, once the landmark is leaked, the guilds and the Council of Fiore will definitely mobilize the army or a large number of wizards to encircle and suppress them, and they will not be able to escape unless they have wings.……"Feng Ye listened to Makarov's words and then told him the advantages and disadvantages of hiding in the sea.

"Even so, I firmly believe that they must be on the sea. Makarov said in a deep voice.

""Alas." Feng Ye sighed when he saw this. He really wanted to help Makarov, but he felt helpless thinking about it like a headless fly. After all, this was not his specialty.

"It's already X776, next year will be X777, the eclipse gate is about to open……………"Feng Ye's mind suddenly ran to the Eclipse Gate that would be opened next year, but he was suddenly stunned when he was halfway through his thought.

The next moment, Feng Ye stood up suddenly, and he looked at everyone present without restraint.

Feng Ye's sudden action instantly startled Ulutia, Kana and Makarov who were standing beside him. The three of them all looked up at Feng Ye, and before they could ask, they heard Feng Ye muttering:

"No no……"
