"So, what do you plan to do next?"
Maple Night asked Ulu in an amiable tone.
Gray was also standing at the side. He looked at Ulu and couldn't help but say, "This world is already ten years in the future. Master, if you don't have anywhere else to go, you can come to our guild …"
Ulu blinked and said, "The Fairy's Tail, huh?"
Although it had been sealed in ice for ten years, the Fairy's Tail was Fiore's most famous guild ten years ago. It was also publicly recognized as the strongest guild. This was because one of the top five Holy Magicians was an elder of the Fairy's Tail — Wolodzinken.
After thinking for a short while, Ulu still shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "I think it's better not. You've already grown, Gray. You have a guild and companions that belong to you. You've successfully finished your apprenticeship, and you don't need me to accompany you anymore."
"But …"
Gray couldn't help but speak up.
However, before he could finish speaking, Ulu smiled and interrupted him. "I've been sealed in ice for ten years, so I don't understand the current world very well. However, I still have things that I want to do."
At this point, she paused for a moment and looked at Maple Night with a serious expression. "My life was saved by you. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"No."
Maple Night lightly shook his head.
Ulu said with a serious expression, "Then if there's anything you need, you can come find me at any time. I'll definitely do my best to help."
Maple Night smiled and said, "Go and start your new journey. After you've finished what you need to do, you can also come and join the Fairy's Tail."
Ulu paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. She said, "Alright, since you're also inviting me, then I will."
Dying together with Daliora was an unexpected event. She had recovered after ten years, and there were still many things in the past that she hadn't resolved, including her daughter, Urutia. She also wanted to find her.
Maple Night glanced at Ulu as if he could see through her thoughts. He smiled and reminded her, "If you want to find your daughter, she's currently a Councilor of the Magic Council."
"Huh?"
Ulu was surprised. "A Councilor of the Magic Council? She's actually already reached such a height. "
The Magic Council was above all guilds. It was the center of magic in the entire Ishgar Continent. There was a chairman and many Councilors. They decided the future of the magic world.
Perhaps not all of the Councilors were powerful, but their status was almost the highest in the magic world.
"Alright, it's about time. Let's part ways here."
Maple Night didn't reveal any more information. He only smiled and nodded at Ulu. Then, he brought Lucy, Elutha, and the others to the distant village.
Ulu smiled and waved at the backs of Maple Night and the others. Then, she looked at Leo beside her.
"What's your plan?"
"I … I'll continue to train and adventure in order to surpass your promise."
Leo hesitated for a moment, then slowly said.
"That's good."
Ulu smiled lightly. Then, she walked in another direction and quickly disappeared. Only Leo and his companions and subordinates were left in the ruins.
… …
On the other side.
Elutha looked at Nazgray indifferently and said, "By the way, don't think about the reward of the mission. This time, you stole the mission commission at the last minute. It was not officially accepted by the guild, so you are not qualified to receive the mission reward."
"… Ah."
Nazgray and Nazgray's eyes stiffened at once.
7 million Japanese!
The reward of this mission was 7 million Japanese!
But when he thought about it, this mission was completed only after Elosa and Maple joined. Just from this point alone, they indeed didn't have the qualifications to take the mission reward.
Lucy's expression was also a little stiff. After a short hesitation, she tugged at the corner of Maple Night's clothes with her small hand and revealed a pleading look. She clasped her two small hands in front of her and said, "The official reward should not be taken, but there is a key to the Twelve Zodiac Temples in the extra reward. That, can you …"
"No!"
Elutha retorted.
But Maple Night smiled. Although he knew that Lucy's pitiful appearance was fake, he did not dislike this mischievous, cute, and lively young lady.
"Indeed, you are not qualified to receive the reward of the mission commission, but in the end, you have completed the commission. From this point of view, you also have the right to ask for a certain amount of reward. It is not too much to ask for a key."
"Oh!!! Brother Maple Night, you are too good! "
Hearing Maple Night's words, Lucy immediately cheered. For a moment, her emotions were stirred up, and she immediately flew to hug Maple Night and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Seeing this scene, Elutha helplessly sighed and said, "You spoil them too much."
Maple Night smiled and let Lucy hang on his body. He said, "After all, it is not an unforgivable mistake like betraying the guild and harming your companions."
Soon.
The group arrived at the village on the island. From the village, they took the reward for the mission and the key to the Sagittarius Constellation of the Twelve Zodiac Temples. After that, everyone left the island and returned to Magnolia.
… …
On the street.
Lucy had a smile on her face and was in a very good mood.
Although she might be reprimanded and punished by President Makarov, Maple Night was not angry. Moreover, she had also obtained the key to the Twelve Zodiac Temples that she wanted, so she was naturally in a very good mood.
"How about we go on a trip to Phernos in a few days? I heard that the hot springs there are world-famous. I have always wanted to go, but I never had the chance to."
"Oh, hot springs? It is not bad to relax outside of the mission. "
Maple grunted in acknowledgment and rubbed his chin.
Elutha, who was next to him, shook her head helplessly and said, "Previously, I received a free travel voucher from there. I was planning to invite you to go with me in two days."
Gray looked over and said, "Hot springs vacation? Sounds good. "
Elutha said expressionlessly, "There are only two free vouchers. Don't even think about it."
Seeing this, Lucy could not help but smile embarrassedly and shrink her neck. She felt as if she had inexplicably ruined some of Elutha's plans.
And at this moment.
Naz suddenly let out a shocked voice and said, "What is that?!"
Elutha, Gray, and the others all turned their heads to look at the Fairy's Tail Guild in front of them. They were shocked to see that the guild was pierced through by a huge iron pillar, as if it had been attacked!
"They really did some things that went too far."
Maple Night looked at this scene and spoke with a calm gaze.
After Naz realized that the guild had been attacked, he immediately became unable to restrain his anger. Flames ignited on his fists as he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it … Who is it?!"
Elutha's face darkened as she looked at this scene and said, "The pattern left on it is … the emblem of the Netherghost's Dominator Guild!"
