Chapter 276 Who's Behind the Scenes
Not paying attention to other people's gazes at all, Calvin still lowered his head and didn't know what to think, with a very complicated and annoyed expression on his face. He didn't come back to his senses until Makarov coughed lightly.
"Calvin, what are you thinking?" Seeing Calvin's startled look, Makarov asked expectantly, expecting to hear a perfect solution.
Normally, Calvin would not disappoint Makarov, but this time, he really couldn't really respond.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the solar eclipse plan..." Calvin replied softly, with an indistinct bitterness in his voice, which made him look a little listless.
"Have you come up with a solution? Why don't you tell me about it?" Makarov continued to ask.
"I have a clue, I have a vague idea, let me think about it again." Calvin pretended to be relaxed and casual, but in fact, this was just the surface he pretended, but his heart was terribly anxious.
Especially seeing Lucy's elf eyes full of expectation made him feel even more guilty.
Only now did he realize that he should let a summoned beast protect Future Lucy from the very beginning, instead of letting her hide alone.
Calvin couldn't calm down just now when he discovered that Lucy's key was stolen. In the future, Lucy has been arrested, and the key to the Zodiac has also been stolen. In other words, the conditions of the eclipse plan have all been met. , You only need to wait until the sun and moon meet on July 7 to start.
Calvin firmly believed in his speculation that the over 10,000 dragons must have come out of the solar eclipse gate, otherwise it would be impossible for such a huge number of dragons to be hidden on the mainland.
Thinking of the scene of overwhelming dragons, even if he was as strong as Calvin, he couldn't help but shudder.
"No way, if it is really impossible to persuade with words, then even if we use force, we must prevent this from happening!" Calvin secretly made up his mind that if it really reached the point of no return, then he would definitely do his best To stop it, though it's likely to be wanted by the kingdom after the fact.
"It's a big deal, I'll blame Gerald, anyway, he has too much debt!"
However, here comes the problem. The Eclipse Gate is a device that absorbs magic power. Basically, magicians are completely unable to use magic near it, and will undoubtedly be sucked away. Even Calvin's summoned beast can't get close, and it will be absorbed by it as the purest magic power, which was tested by the magic flying insect yesterday.
Then, Calvin, who cannot use magic at the Eclipse Gate,
How to prevent the kingdom from activating it? At that time, the kingdom will definitely deploy troops near the eclipse gate to prevent accidents!
Facing the army, Calvin, who cannot use magic, said that he really couldn't beat it!
He thought and thought, and scratched and scratched his hair, but no matter what Calvin thought, the solution he finally came up with after thinking was to dispel the idea of the kingdom's solar eclipse plan as the safest.
After thinking about it, he raised his head and said to the other partners: "I sneaked into the castle at night and found Lucy's key. Since they stole it secretly, we will take the key back in the same way. Anyway, as long as we don't leave The tail is fine!"
"Oh! Are you still going? I want to follow!" Regarding Calvin's words, Natsu must be the most excited and satisfied one, jumping up and down and wanting to go there immediately.
"Elusha, watch him for me. If he follows, it will become a big fight." Calvin ordered Erza directly without looking at Naz.
"Are you alone? You don't need help?" Erza nodded to express her understanding, and asked Calvin. There seemed to be a slight flame in her eyes, which was eager to try.
Calvin suddenly felt that Erza seemed unreliable. Although she was usually the head of the big sister and led a group of uncontrollable bad boys, she did occasionally do some off-line behaviors, and Erza finally When you are not calm and the most irritable, it is often because of your partner.
After thinking of this, Calvin immediately turned his head towards Makarov, and said solemnly and respectfully: "President, please look at them, I will end this matter without causing any commotion. So, please allow me to be alone action."
Hearing this, Makarov took a deep drag on his cigarette and let it out slowly, "Then, I will leave everything to you, whether it is the eclipse project or Lucy's key."
After discussing the matter, Calvin went back to the room alone, hiding in it without knowing what to do, while Lucy felt that the key might have been lost elsewhere, so she wanted to go out and look for it.
Especially the long tunnel leading to the Dragon's Tomb is likely to be lost here. Of course, this is just Lucy's idea.
But after knowing the solar eclipse plan, Fairy Tail naturally didn't dare to let Lucy run around. Makarov asked Natsu, Gray and Erza to follow her closely so that no accidents would happen to her.
Everyone else stayed in the hotel, but they were obviously a little idle. After this happened to Lucy, no one was in the mood to rejoice. The quiet hotel made people feel very depressed.
Calvin didn't pay attention to this. He seemed to be doing nothing in the room now, just lying on the bed, but in fact he did a lot of things, the most important thing was to monitor the king's every move.
The magic flying insect that Calvin cast yesterday has no attack power, and the defense power is very low, but as a summoned beast for reconnaissance, its hiding ability is really excellent.
From the time the king got up in the morning, the flying insects watched all his affairs closely, regardless of meals and defecation, and nothing was left behind. Calvin observed the king through the flying insects throughout the day.
However, the king was only dealing with government affairs and discussing the matter of the great magician directing martial arts normally, and had no contact with anything related to the solar eclipse plan.
Instead, Calvin accidentally learned that the king was actually presided over by the pumpkin. To be honest, Calvin didn't hate this.
Evening, sunset, nightfall, until the king was about to go to bed, but Calvin still didn't notice anything unusual. The solar eclipse plan will be implemented in two days, and Arcadios, who was pushed in front of the screen by him before, was pushed He was thrown into prison, but he didn't take any measures. Normally speaking, shouldn't he be more concerned the closer the planned implementation date is?
Moreover, since Calvin's Magic Flying Insect started monitoring last night, the king has never touched Lucy's key, and Arcadios has also been locked in prison, "Then, the captured future Lucy and ten Where is the second palace key hidden..." Calvin muttered to himself.
"The king's expression is so normal, it's so abnormal! No matter how he is emotionally indifferent, he will always have a worried and worried expression before he is about to carry out such a whimsical action as the solar eclipse plan. The king looks like I didn't know about it at all, I just happily looked forward to tomorrow's final battle..."
Calvin couldn't understand it. If everything is really under the king's control, then the king's city is too deep.
"No, my thoughts are too messy!" Calvin washed his face, rearranged his thoughts, closed his eyes, frowned deeply, and looked a little hard.
However, this sorting out really made him discover the flaws in his guess.
This mistake is that the Minister of Defense can oppose Arcadios!
"The king is the ruler of the Kingdom of Fiore, and the regime is stable. He doesn't need to sneak up on any plan he wants to implement, because even the Minister of Defense will never dare to oppose it, and there is no need to launch a plan to attract attention Arcadios."
"The people who really need Arcadios should be people in the castle whose status is second only to the king, but who don't have much real power, so they have to avoid the sight of the Minister of Defense."
"This kind of person is either a relative of the emperor or a concubine or queen. I remember that the king has no brothers and sisters, his wife died early, and he only has a smart daughter by his side."
"That's right, I didn't think of this until now. Besides Her Royal Highness Emerald Princess, who can order Arcadios, who can build the Eclipse Gate with such a huge amount of energy!"
The more Calvin thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was correct. He had to make this guess because he no longer had time to monitor the king for a whole day.
Rather than thinking that Princess Emerald is the real person in charge of the Eclipse project, he hopes she is, because he has no other clues to save future Lucy.
"Huh~ Now go to Mercurius, Huadeng Palace, and explain it to Princess Emerald directly!"
