Inside the Heart of the Phoenix Guild.
In the center of the palace was a tea table. Claire was holding a tangerine, her small hands gently peeling the tangerine and handing a piece to Maples.
She waited on the side while looking thoughtfully at the projection. "Phoenix magic itself has the ability to prolong life, but she shouldn't have reached the age where her body would stop growing. I'm afraid this isn't as simple as a side effect."
The power of phoenix magic could purify almost everything in the body. Under Fire Rebirth, any physical injury could be healed. So a simple body cell that stopped growing but couldn't be healed by phoenix magic shouldn't be a problem.
"Yes."
Maples nodded lightly, eating the piece of tangerine Claire handed over. "Indeed, it isn't a simple body that stopped growing, but a contradictory curse."
Claire was slightly startled. "A contradictory curse?"
Feng Ye smiled amiably and said: "There are a few strictly forbidden laws in this world. One of them is that humans cannot use their own will to change life and death. This is because the decision of life and death is Ankus Salam's authority. Once they do so, they will suffer his curse."
Claire was shocked.
She had never heard of a contradictory curse, but she had heard of Ankus Salamu. This wasn't the name of a magician, but a god that was recorded in books, the god that controlled life and death!
"Then …"
Claire looked at Mavis with a serious and worried gaze.
Originally, she was a bit disappointed that Maples had taken in a disciple, but after observing Mavis' actions, she quickly fell in love with this pure and cute girl.
"Don't worry, I can remove that curse."
Maples smiled.
Hearing Maples' words, Claire felt a bit more at ease.
Looking forward, she could see the inside of the new Fairy's Tail Guild on the projection. This was a new building built on the original site of the Green Skeleton, built by Yuri, Warod, and many other villagers.
At this moment, Mavis was pacing back and forth within the guild's new building. After circling around a few times, she arrived at the guild's basement. This was a square room that was roughly ten square meters in size.
A round table was placed in the center of the room.
On top of the round table, there was a strange apparatus. Above the apparatus, there was a glass ball about the size of a basketball. Inside the glass ball, there was a green light spot.
"I didn't think that there would be a power left behind by my teacher here."
Mavis muttered as she looked at the fluorescent glass ball floating in front of her.
This was a magic ball she had found when she was collecting the cyan skeleton's collection. The moment she found it, Mavis recognized that it contained the power of Maples.
When she was following Maples, she had read many books and heard some legends about Maples. One of the legends was that when Maples walked the world 300 years ago, he had combined all kinds of magic and sealed it in the form of a magic ball.
It was said that there were a total of seven such magic balls.
Many people had come into contact with them and obtained them, but no one was able to break the seal of the magic ball. Even the greatest of sorcerers couldn't break it.
But after some research, they all came to the same conclusion: if you could gather all seven magic balls and put them together, the seals between them would conflict with each other and break one by one.
In other words, anyone who could gather all seven magic balls would obtain the power of Maples, the legendary sorcerer!
Because of this.
There was even a war that broke out in the world.
In the end, the war ended with Claire taking one of the seven magic balls, cutting off many people's hopes of gathering all seven magic balls. Only then did the war finally settle down.
"It really is a super complicated sealing technique. As expected of my teacher's work."
Mavis placed her small hand on the surface of the magic ball and roughly sensed the sealing technique on the magic ball. Her gem-like eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of shock.
This sealing technique was far more complicated than any she had seen so far. Almost every basic technique was at the level of super magic. It could be said that the whole thing was composed of a large number of super magic techniques arranged and combined.
The higher one's magic attainment, the more shocked they would be when they saw this kind of technique.
Because the higher one's magic attainment, the more one could feel Maples' magic attainment. It was simply unimaginable. If right now she was standing on a roof and could faintly see the white clouds on the horizon, then Maples was standing in outer space, standing on the sun!
"Can a human sorcerer really make something like this?"
The more Mavis sensed, the more shocked she was.
She felt that with her current magic attainment, she would have to raise it by at least two levels before she could try to decipher these techniques. And it would only be deciphering, not breaking them.
She was like a code-breaking software that encountered a hundred-million-digit password. All she could feel was her own insignificance, curled up in a corner, shivering.
"I don't know why Teacher made these …"
After the shock, Mavis couldn't help but mutter, but she couldn't think of a reason for now.
… …
Inside the Heart of the Phoenix Guild.
Claire was also watching this scene. She knew why Maples made these magic balls. In reality, it was only because Maples was integrating a part of the magic he had learned.
These were the products that Maples had left behind in various parts of the world during his twenty years of traveling the world with her. During that time, Maples had always been collecting and integrating magic. And after the integration, Maples didn't destroy the integrated part.
Because to Maples, these were equivalent to his manuscripts.
They were manuscripts left behind in the process of solving a world-wide magic problem. These were things worth remembering.
So Maples sealed these "manuscripts."
The only thing she didn't understand was why Feng Ye wanted to seal it into seven parts. From her point of view, with Feng Ye's power, he could have combined them all and sealed them into a single part.
Claire tilted her head and looked at Maples. She had been wondering about this for a long time, but she had never asked because it didn't have much to do with her before. Now it did, because she was guarding one of the seven magic balls.
Maples glanced at Claire, as if seeing her confusion, and smiled casually. "I just did it casually. Also, don't you think the number seven is very interesting?"
Claire looked a bit confused.
Maples sat there and smiled faintly. "Three hundred years ago, the dragons made an agreement with the Celestial Magi and Jerf. In order to defeat Akunologia, they sent the Dragon Slayer Magi to the future through the Eclipse magic. They arrived in the future on July 7th, X777."
"And in the distant future, in the end, the ones qualified to fight against Akunologia were the seven Dragon Slayer Magi."
Claire had a pensive look on her face.
In other words, Maples had sealed his "manuscripts" into seven parts just for fun. But this was also in line with her understanding of Maples. After following Maples for twenty years, she knew that Maples was an existence with god-like power, but he also had a human heart.
"Then, if someone can gather all seven of the magic balls you made …"
"He can indeed break the seal of the magic balls," Maples answered casually.
Feng Ye replied casually, "He should be rewarded for being able to gather all seven of my magic balls. He should be able to obtain some of the power I left behind from them."
Claire nodded slightly.
Maples looked at the projection in the air and smiled. "Okay, let's continue watching. Now it's time for Mavis's performance."
… …
X686.
In the same year that Mavis established Fairy's Tail, the second trade war broke out.
This was a war between kingdoms and lords for the sake of trade and profit. The scale of the war affected the entire continent of Ishagar. It could also be called the Second World War.
Compared to the first war, the scale of this war was much larger and more intense. It almost engulfed the entire continent of Ishagar.
X688. For the first time, the Kingdom of Aizak hired a Magus Guild to participate in the war. This was the beginning of the Magus Guild's participation in the war.
In the same year.
Almost all the Magus Guilds and Magus Guilds in Ishagar were involved in the war, including the Fairy's Tail Guild established by Mavis.
And in this war, Mavis, who was only 15 years old, displayed the strength of one of the Ten Great Saint Magi. The Magic Legion she created was comparable to a Magic Legion by herself!
Moreover.
Compared to Mavis' personal strength, her ability to analyze the war far surpassed her personal strength. Under her command, any military advisor or general of the enemy would appear as though they had taken off their clothes for her to observe. They simply didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
This war lasted until X689. The majority of the kingdoms and lords were defeated and withdrew from the war. In the end, only the two strongest kingdoms were left.
Mavis's military strength was only a third of the enemy's.
But.
Under Mavis's command, the enemy kingdom's strategists, Wootz, were practically useless. All of their actions were within Mavis' calculations. Their attacks were neutralized time and time again.
Wootz tried to send powerful Magi to assassinate Mavis, but all of them fell into Mavis's calculations. The Magi who tried to sneak attack were all suppressed.
Just like that.
Mavis gradually evened out the disadvantage in military strength. In the second half of X689, she commanded the entire army to launch a large-scale counterattack. In one fell swoop, she destroyed the enemy's main force and secured victory.
In the first half of X690, the second war of trade finally came to an end with the number of casualties ten times higher than the first war of trade.
Such a large number of casualties was publicly acknowledged as the result of Magi's intervention in the war.
Thus, taking this opportunity, the Magic Council and the Guild Alliance jointly signed a treaty forbidding Magi Guilds from waging war as they wished.
Until now.
Ishengar, which had been in turmoil for ten years, finally settled down. The relationship between the major guilds began to improve, and the Magi's style of doing things also changed.
And in this war, in addition to the change in the direction of the world's development, Mavis, the first president of Fairy's Tail, a young girl known as the 'Fairy Strategist', was remembered by almost the entire magic world.
It was more or less after the war ended.
The news that Mavis was the only disciple of the legendary Magi Maples from hundreds of years ago quickly spread in the magic world, causing a sensation.
Because Mavis knew that Maples didn't mind her revealing her identity, some people asked Mavis for confirmation and received an affirmative answer.
Of course.
There were also many people who didn't believe this and tried to verify it with the Phoenix Witch Claire, who had followed Maples for three hundred years, and finally received an affirmative answer.
The magic world was in an uproar!
Maples roamed the world three hundred years ago, leaving behind many legends. Who knew how many Magi saw Maples as their teachers and saw themselves as their students, but that was only the concept of 'the one who reached the top is the teacher'.
And as a true student of Maples, and perhaps the only student recognized by Maples, there was only one person, the first president of Fairy's Tail, Mavis!
After confirming this point, Li Yundong said.
Many people also came to a realization.
No wonder a young girl in her teens could have magic comparable to one of the ten great Saint Magi, and had such intelligence and wisdom. Clearly, only by reaching this level could one be qualified to be recognized by Maples as a student.
From then on, Magi endlessly tried to join Fairy's Tail, making Mavis, the first president, extremely busy. She was even vexed that she didn't have time to go out adventuring.
But there was no other way. This was her own guild, so naturally she had to carefully select everyone who tried to join. She couldn't let anyone with a dark heart sneak into the guild.
Fortunately.
After four years of growth, Yuri, Precito, and Walder, the three founding members of Fairy's Tail, had all become people who could take charge of things on their own. They could help her solve some of her problems.
Originally, she wanted to go look for Maples after the war ended, but she couldn't leave the guild for several months.
