The next day, early in the morning...
"Dong Dong Dong Dong——!"
Noah, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened by a loud knock on the door. Before he could fully react, he heard Gray's cry.
"Hey! Noah! Are you awake?!"
Looking at his door that was vibrated frequently, Noah couldn't help frowning.
Although Gray is indeed not the kind of person who will think about not disturbing people's dreams, he usually uses this unceremonious way of knocking on the door when he comes to call Noah, but Noah feels that the strength of Gray's knock on the door today is not only It was much bigger, and even the tone became anxious.
Is something wrong?
This question just appeared in Noah's heart, and Gray's voice told him the answer outside the door.
"You bastard! Now is not the time to sleep! It's lively down there! Get me up!"
...
Noah, who hurried downstairs with Gray, just came to the first floor, and found that today, the situation in the guild is not the same as before.
The liveliness was still as lively, but the members of the guild gathered around the commission column where the task list was posted, and the front of the commission column was surrounded by water.
"Is this the mission again?"
"The client has really worked hard, obviously this task is so unpopular..."
"It's not like that. Look, the reward after the task is completed has not increased a lot than before?"
"That's right..."
In addition to these words of discussion, on the guild bar, an old man with a cane in his hand, dressed like a clown, as short as an ordinary child, but looking unusually old also sat there, carelessly. Drinking wine, in stark contrast to the members of the guild.
However, looking at the little old man sitting cross-legged on the bar table, Noah showed a look of joy.
"grandfather!"
This person is the president of the "Fairytail" guild——Makarov Dora!
"Huh?" Makarov paused while drinking, his eyes turned to the direction of the stairs, looking at Noah who was standing there, there was also a peaceful expression on his face, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Is it Noah? Are you up?"
"Grandpa!" Noah trotted to Makarov.
"You haven't been to the guild for several days!"
"It's just a gathering with a few friends, don't worry!" Makarov touched his head and laughed.
"I'm so sorry!"
"Old man!" Gray also came to Noah's side, but looked at the direction of the bustling commission column, and asked curiously.
"What happened? Why does everyone seem to be making a fuss?"
"Let them make a fuss first!" Makarov glanced at the direction of the commission column,
Continue to drink.
"Anyway, you will find out later!"
"I'm afraid it will take a long time to wait for everyone in the guild to calm down..." Noah said helplessly.
"So, Grandpa, you'd better explain it first!"
"That's what I said..." Makarov, who knew how noisy the members of his guild were, also knocked helplessly on the forehead, jumped, jumped off the bar, and walked towards the commission column.
"Okay! Quiet me all!"
As soon as Makarov's voice fell, the noisy guild immediately fell silent, and the guild members surrounding the commission column also consciously separated, making way for Makarov to pass.
It was not until he came to the front of the commission column that Makarov turned around and faced everyone in the guild. He raised the crutches in his hand and pointed to an unusually eye-catching commission posted in the center of the commission column.
Noah, who has good eyesight, clearly saw the words on the order and read them out.
"Lake of Ceremony?"
Just after reading it out, Noah saw Gray on the side with a stunned look, and immediately asked.
"What is the Lake of Ceremony?"
"You don't know?" Gray was startled at first, then nodded.
"That's right, you've only been in Fairytail for a year."
"What's wrong?..." Noah asked very curiously.
"Could it be that everyone is so noisy because of this ritual lake?"
"The Lake of Ceremony is the famous Lake of Wishing!" Seeing that Noah really didn't know, Gray explained.
"According to legend, if you make a wish in this ceremonial lake, under the witness of the ceremonial lake, the elves of the lake will fulfill the wishes of the person who made the wish, making people's dreams come true!"
"Dream come true?" Noah suddenly lost most of his interest.
"As soon as you hear it, you know it's impossible, right?"
"Well, in fact, it's not just you, many people just take it as a rumor, and have never heard of anyone making a wish there, the elves of the lake appeared and fulfilled this person's wish!" Gray spread out. spread hands.
"However, there is one person who did make a wish by the lake of ritual, and it came true!"
After that, Gray looked at Noah.
"You know the Senate, don't you?"
Hearing this, Noah raised his brows.
The so-called council is an organization in the kingdom of Fiore responsible for maintaining order in the magic world.
This organization consists of a speaker and eight members. Its main job is to monitor the actions of the various wizards' guilds, punish the guilds that violate the regulations of the council, and hunt down the dark guilds that endanger the magic world.
In the Kingdom of Fiore, only the guilds approved by the Senate can be regarded as regular guilds, and the Mage Guilds recognized by the Senate must also abide by the treaty established by the Senate, otherwise they will be forcibly dissolved, which is equivalent to Fiore The supervisor of all regular guilds in the Thunder Kingdom.
"I heard that the first speaker of the council made a wish to form a council at the Lake of Ceremony!" Gray said with a pouted mouth.
"Although the Speaker's means to be able to form the Senate is indeed a great thing, but since the Speaker made a wish to form the Senate at the Lake of Ceremony before forming the Senate, and successfully formed the Senate, the ceremony has The lake became a holy place for the Senate!"
"It just so happens that the Lake of Ceremony is another very strange lake. Once a lot of magic power is injected into it, the lake will start to glow!" Gray cast his gaze on Noah who was thinking.
"So, I don't know since when, there has been a rumor in the Senate that if the Lake of Ceremony is not kept glowing, the original wish to form the Senate will be invalidated, and the Senate will also be disbanded, so , Every year, the Senate will issue a commission to a well-known guild to let people go to the lake of rituals and inject magic!"
"So, is that the commission issued by the council?" Noah looked at the commission posted in the center of the commission column and asked with some doubts.
"But why does everyone seem to dislike this commission?"
"Because if you want the Lake of Ceremony to shine, the magic power that needs to be injected is extremely huge, and it takes at least dozens of mages to go together to complete it. The amount that can be allocated is pitiful!" Gray crossed his arms.
"A task with such a pitiful salary, even if it is issued by the Senate, who will see it?"
"However, the bastards in the council demanded that the guild that received the request must complete the task within a month, and this year, it's our "Fairytail" turn to accept the request!" Standing in front of the request column Makarov's tone was rather complaining.
"Although I really want to push it away, those guys will definitely take this opportunity to stumble me, so let's finish this mission quickly!"
Hearing Makarov's words, the members of the guild looked at each other in dismay.
"Completing the mission..."
"The pay is so low, who wants to go?"
"That's right…"
Facing the whispers of the guild members, Makarov was not surprised, he tapped the cane in his hand and said.
"Don't worry about this, I have already decided!"
With such a sentence, Makarov raised his head and looked directly at Noah who was standing in front of the bar.
"This task, Noah, it's up to you to complete it!"
