Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

"Hmm... another beautiful day!"

Sunshine, white clouds, birdsong, morning dew hanging on the leaves, the fragrance of flowers in the wind...

Everything here seems so real, completely different from when I was a ghost.

Having stayed on Sirius Island for decades, Mebis never imagined that one day he would be able to enjoy the morning sun so comfortably in the form of a human being.

"By the way, have I been a little tanned recently..."

"Could it be that this body has been in the basement for too long without exposure to sunlight, so the changes are so obvious?"

While Mavis was wondering, an old voice sounded under the tree.

"Mother, it's almost time for breakfast."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The old voice, old face, wavy white long hair and bushy beard all showed that the visitor was not young.

The head of the Twelve Shields of the Protectors, the 'King of Magic' of the Empire, the August Calamity...

This old man is the child of Olgast, Mebis and Zeref.

Olgast is definitely not young. In fact, he is one year younger than Makarov, but his overall state seems to be much more energetic than Makarov.

Makarov started to manage the guild 50 years ago, and now his hairstyle is all based on the few remaining white hairs on both sides, and his whole body has shrunk to the size of a child; Manage the empire, and now the hair is still lush, and the figure is still tall and straight.

This is probably due to the disparity in their magical powers.

Of course, it is also possible that a guild with a hundred members in "Fairy Tail" is more difficult to manage than an empire with hundreds of millions of people like Alvarez.

After all, Makarov had to do everything by himself, he had to deal with the council at the top, and he had to teach the lawless bastards at the bottom; while Olgast had many people at his disposal.

It's really hard to say which of the two works harder.

But at least for now, Olgast definitely doesn't find it hard.

While Makarov was playing cards with the Imperial Minister Yakir, Olgast was enjoying the happiest time in his life with his mother.

Chatting and playing, exchanging magic, tasting the fruits of this year's autumn harvest in the manor, cooking various flavors of Ishgar and Arakitasia and then tasting each other, playing chess, playing cards, fishing, walking...

It's like going through all the activities that I haven't experienced in decades.

Whether it was Mebis, who looked like a child as a mother, or Olgast, who looked like an old man as a son, they all felt unprecedented affection in the past half month.

Mebis is an orphan. Although "Fairy Tail" claims to be "the members of the guild are all family members", they are not connected by blood after all; although Olgast is by Zeref's side, but Zeref does not know the existence of his son and treats him with respect. His way is only with the emperor and chess pieces, without much emotion, not to mention that he has only returned to the empire once in a long time, and the two of them actually don't meet very much.

For this reason, it is the first time for them to truly feel the existence of their relatives and let their relatives feel their own existence.

Mavis loves to enjoy the morning sun in the trees, and Olgast also enjoys preparing her breakfast.

He took off his magic robe, put down his magic wand, and wore only a plain cloth. He restrained a terrifyingly huge magic power, like an ordinary old man who retired to the countryside, kind and gentle.

"Mother, let's go have breakfast!"

"(?????) Good~"

After more than ten days, Mebis has become familiar with being called down by his son for breakfast at this time.

In fact, she doesn't like to eat breakfast very much, and she is not used to eating breakfast, but after all, it is made by her son specially for herself. As a mother, she must accept his filial piety.

Whoosh!

With a soft sound, Mebis jumped down from the tree. He looked like a mischievous elf active in the forest. There was a crystal pendant around the elf's neck, which was specially made by Kira to prevent A prop that blocks the curse of 'Anxelam'.

Ever since he used 'annihilation' to eliminate Jeref's 'hunting of death' on Sirius Island, Kira had a vague feeling that he might be able to use the same method to block this evil curse, so he started to work on it after returning. This project, however, has not progressed at that time.

It wasn't until he obtained the "Book of Wisdom" and improved his understanding of magic that this project made a breakthrough.

The crystal pendant on Mebis' neck today is the result of this project, using the opposite material and magic to eliminate the negative effects of the 'Curse of Anxelam'.

It does not allow the wearer to have the ability to be immune to curses, but to absorb and dissolve all the curses issued from the wearer, eliminating the death force field caused by cherishing life.

Of course, there is a loss in dissolving this unknown energy. Once the limit of absorption is reached, the crystal will shatter and must be replaced at that time.

Although this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it is enough.

The naked, small, sensual and delicate feet stepped on the soft grass. They seemed to be so white and clean from the beginning to the end, without any dirt on the ground or dust in the air, and they had the same secret of cleansing people's hearts as their owners.

Mebis' height is less than Olgast's waist. After all, she was only twelve or thirteen years old when she was "cursed by Anxelam" for using the "fairy's law". child.

So when the two stand together, they are not like mother and son, but more like grandparents.

In fact, the way the two get along during this time is indeed like grandparents.

The reason is that Ougaste has more than 80 years of real life experience, while Mebis was already an adult when he died, but his body was only in the state of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, affected by physiological hormones , She has always maintained the mentality of a young girl.

Looking at the girl standing in front of him with a faint blush on her face, Olgast's eyes showed rare tenderness, he reached out and took the leaves that fell on Mebis's head, and said, "Let's go. "

"Ok!"

Mavis happily agreed.

As a mother and a smart person, she could easily see the uneasiness in Olgast's heart, and couldn't help feeling a little apologetic in her heart.

Then... She took the initiative to stretch out that small and delicate hand, and held Olgast.

Olgast was taken aback for a moment, he felt a deep warmth from this palm, it was the maternal love he had been looking forward to for many years but never received.

Mebis was also taken aback. Olgast's hand was completely different from hers and Jeff's in memory. It was big, rough, and powerful, and there were also marks left by holding the magic wand all the year round. Cocooning, but equally warm.

"Olgast, what shall we have for breakfast?"

"I have prepared milk, sandwiches, eggs..."

"So much?! But it doesn't matter if I eat a little more, I won't get fat anyway..."

The two figures, one old and one young, walked slowly towards the villa.

Olgast's manor is huge, and the villa is also huge, but he is the only one living there, and he doesn't even have a servant. It's not that he can't afford it, but he doesn't like it, otherwise he could have created a few servants like Irene .

When the two came to the dinner table, they found that Prechto, who also got up early, had finished his breakfast and was sitting there drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

In the past six months, Prechto has developed such a healthy living habit, even in other people's homes, he has not restrained himself in the slightest.

Of course, he made his own breakfast.

Although Prechto expressed deep apology to Olgast as soon as he met and explained the reason for coming, but Olgast did not complain about Prechto abandoning him, but was very grateful to him. Bringing myself into this world, I am even more grateful to him for allowing me to meet and live with Mebis as a mother and child.

The mother and son didn't dislike the addition of a Precito in such a peaceful life, but usually they didn't see it, and they didn't specifically target it, but now they only had their mother and son in their eyes, and they didn't have time to entertain Pu Rechito is an outsider.

Prejito himself is not a person who needs to be entertained. Although he is very old, his body is very young, and he has not yet reached the point where he can't walk.

These days, apart from keeping an eye on the news of the Alvarez Empire and Vestarion, he is reading books in Olgast's library.

Magic book!

The library in this villa is very large, full of magic books, which have been collected and written by Olgast over the past few decades. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the treasures he has accumulated over the years.

It contains almost all kinds of magic from ancient times to the present, and when it comes to the richness of types, even the secret room of the dean of Demisol Academy of Magic, which is second to none on the mainland, which Kira has been to, and the town of Gazania in the Kingdom of Fiore, the The Sword Biting Tiger Library, which has a long history and has been passed down for many years, is far inferior.

When Prechto saw this library, he couldn't help but be shocked by its quantity and quality. For him, a person who has been immersed in magic for decades, magic books of this scale are no different from the world. The greatest treasure.

Mebis cheered even more, calling out "I really deserve to be my son" and "I like this place so much".

Before she got acquainted with Yuri, Prechto, and Volod, when she stayed on Sirius Island, her biggest hobby was reading, and it was during that time that she learned magic knowledge far beyond ordinary people.

In view of Mavis' love for the library, from that day on, Mavis and Olgast spent at least two hours there every day as a communication between mother and child.

The bright and warm light shines through the mirror-like glass windows and shines on the two who look like grandparents but are actually mother and child. Time passes slowly as the food decreases and the sun's shadow shifts.

After a long time, the two joined Prechto after breakfast.

Drink tea and read newspapers.

Enjoy!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Astronomy: Recently, there have been frequent meteor showers near Vestarion! "

"Geography: The desertification of the empire continues to intensify, what is not doing well? "

"Food: The mysterious woman ate 100 bowls of ramen in a row and won the championship in the 'Big Stomach King Competition'. After seeing her figure, everyone exclaimed "No wonder"! "

"Technology: Mechanical dolls have repeatedly played hooligans on the street, who will guarantee our privacy? "

"Military: Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Expeditions Overseas, The Empire Expands Again! "

"Entertainment: The Novel "I Became the No. 13 Shield of the Empire" is hotly sold, and the author turns out to be him! "

……

"Are all the news headlines in your empire so strange?"

Prejito put down the newspaper, took a sip of black tea, rubbed his eyebrows and said, he didn't know if this action was because of the hot eyes, or the increase in blood pressure caused by being deceived by the title.

"I think it's very interesting!" Mebis' eyes glowed, "Look, Olgast! This title is very attractive, isn't it?"

"Uh... yes!"

Ougaste hesitated for two seconds, silently murmured "what's so attractive", and at the same time secretly decided "let them get all the news in the future".

There are no TVs and mobile phones in this world, and newspapers undertake a large proportion of media propaganda tasks. Since the Alvarez Empire is vast, it accounts for almost [-]% of the entire Arakitasia. Even if the empire divides newspaper offices by region and type, each A newspaper still has a lot to cover.

What Prechto, Melti, and Olgast are reading now is a comprehensive newspaper published by Vestarion, which contains recent important news from a channel near the capital.

Seeing Mebis still acting like a child in front of his son, Prechto was speechless: "I can't understand at all, how attractive is this kind of news..."

"You are from the previous era, so of course you can't understand! Now only titles that attract people's attention can sell well!"

Getting older... You are obviously of the same age as me!

"Block people's attention?? Hmm... Anyway, I don't think it's popular!"

After Prechto shook his head and expressed his opinion, he pointed to one of the news items: "Forget it, whether the newspaper is popular or not has nothing to do with us. I think this is the most important thing to pay attention to!"

The two looked in his direction, and what Prechto was pointing at seemed to be the column "Military".
