Chapter 336, Auguste's Decision

"So that's how it is?" Ogaste pondered a little.

Even though Everit said he was not interested, he still said: "I have put a lot of effort into building this empire, but actually - I don't want this battle."

"Once the battle starts, countless men will die on the battlefield, the family's income will be reduced, and the living standards of the children will also decline. In order to maintain their lives, many women will choose to rely on another man, but in this way—— The probability of encountering a jerk is much greater. That is their choice, but the child has no choice."

"They couldn't choose their birth, they couldn't choose not to fight this fight, they couldn't choose - not to follow another father."

"I heard that you like to perform magic tricks for children. I think you are also someone who cares about bringing joy to children."

"I--"

Ogast looked a little dazed.

He came from hard times and was thrown away right after he was born. If he hadn't been the child of Zeref and Mavis and was born with qualities far beyond ordinary people, he wouldn't have been able to survive.

Even so, his childhood was miserable.

So he empathizes with children, especially children who have lost their parents.

Because he had no choice like them back then.

He was nearly a hundred years old, and even though he saw his father beside him, he never called out "Dad".

And once the battle between the two continents begins, countless originally happy families will be destroyed.

Children – do they have any right to choose?

Ogast thought of the children who had played happily with him before. Those laughter would turn into cries once the battle started.

The little girl who once wore a cute dress may become an orphan who scavenges for food.

Those boys who lick lollipops and call them grandpa may have to do tiring and dirty work that adults are not willing to do in order to survive.

Just as Olgast was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by Everit: "Stop being so hypocritical."

Ogast choked immediately.

Yefulit said: "You know very well that this battle is inevitable because of whose existence. You don't say these words to him, but you want to say to me-"

"Do you simply want to express some useless emotions?"

"Does that mean I'm going to put myself in your shoes?"

"No - I won't."

"How many mistakes has Zeref made in the past four hundred years? What qualifications does he have and what face does he have to let his men say such things?"

Augaster defended: "His Majesty has wanted to die for a long time, but he can't die."

"Yes, in order to die, he created the devil, and then in the past four hundred years, the devil destroyed countless cities and killed countless civilians."

"He didn't mean it?"

Everit looked closer at Olgast.

"Because he was cursed by God, he can't do anything?"

"Even if that's the case, so what?"

"If a psychopath kills someone, the victim must forgive him? Can't he hate him?"

"I hate Zeref's pride and self-righteousness."

"Why do you think this battle is necessary?"

"because--"

Everit stared into Ogast's eyes and said, "I have crushed Zeref's pride."

"He didn't want to die a useless death."

"He has to do something spectacular before he is willing to die."

"He wants to join forces with Acnologia to kill me first, even if it hurts countless lives."

"Then he killed Acnologia and Heramus."

"In the end - he will be killed by his perfect experiment, the demon created by his brother - END. This proves that he will only be killed by himself."

"The life of the evil black mage has finally come to an end."

"Maybe there will be a rebellious reporter who writes a rebellious report——"

"Although Zeref made countless mistakes in the past four hundred years, in the end, he did a great thing that benefited the world - he got rid of Acnologia and Heramus. So - people It has two sides, right and wrong, it’s hard to tell clearly.”

"What a joke."

Everit stepped back and sat on the chair: "I won't give him this chance."

"Do you hate His Majesty so much?" Ogast sighed.

"Then you are wrong again." Everit waved his hand: "I did not say these words out of justice, and I wanted to kill him not out of personal grudges."

"It's neither public nor private." Ogast asked doubtfully: "Then why do you want to fight with His Majesty? If you don't intervene and just let Mr. Natsu accomplish His Majesty's goal, what's wrong with that?" ”

Everit said: "Fairy Tail may not require justice, but my family's kindness must be rewarded."

"I'm not going to give anyone the space to discuss this."

Yefulit said firmly: "The peace of Ishgar, the peace of the Western Continent, and even the peace of the entire world."

"The Fairy Tail Guild took the lead in realizing it."

"A group of psychotic and cruel rulers of the Albarez Empire - the Twelve Shields of the Saints - were eradicated by the Fairy Tail Guild-led coalition of the Magisters' Guild."

"The most brutal dragon, Acnologia, was killed by the Dragon Slayers of Fairy Tail."

"The most evil black mage, with not a single white spot on his body - Zeref, was completely killed by the cooperation of the Fairy Tail guild and many mage guilds."

Yefulit took out a card, placed it on the table, and then stood up: "This is a complete defeat for you, and it will also be a great victory for peace and justice, so--stop saying some hypocritical words."

"So, there is no need to talk." Ogast let go of the magic wand that he had been holding tightly because of nervousness. He was already sure that Everit would not kill anyone here.

"Actually, it's not nothing to talk about." Everit, who had looked serious just now, suddenly laughed. He tapped the cards on the table with his fingers and said, "There is a story——"

"About a child who was born from love, but because of a bastard father who killed his mother and abandoned him, he was forced to wander. In the end, the child with a twisted heart went to work to gain the slightest favor from his father. Fight for this for life.”

Ogast's face changed slightly, this was him!

A child born from love - Zeref and Mavis transcended the curse of God and gave birth to him through their union. What a powerful love that is.

But he did not get happiness.

Jelfk died Mavis.

Then, Zeref sent Mavis back to the Fairy Tail guild, and he was saved by Precito, but then Precito abandoned him - despite this, he did not hate Precito. , if it weren't for Precito, he would really be dead. When he learned about the death of Hades on Tianlang Island, he was still sad about it. When he was at the Gate of Hades, perhaps he was the only one in the whole world who felt sad about the complete death of Hades.

Next, when he was a street child, he happened to meet Zeref. Because he had a similar appearance to Mavis, he was taken in by Zeref.

But--

Why can't I see his identity? He clearly has the power of Zeref and Mavis in his body.

But--

Zeref would rather favor Larcade even more, even giving him the surname "Dragneel", rather than set his eyes on him.

He is already old. Because of Zeref's words, he worked hard to build the huge Albarez Empire, but he still failed to have his father's love.

Ogast smiled bitterly: Everit had completely seen through his heart, this man was so good at uncovering scars.

Everit didn't mean to laugh at Ogast, he said: "Read this story book carefully."

After saying that, Everit's figure disappeared.

Ogast was stunned for a long time before reaching out to grab the card, but the moment he touched it, the card turned into a book.

It's not a heavy book, it's a thin book.

Ogast picked it up and halfway through reading, his expression changed.

"Mother is still alive."

He stood up in shock: "Yevrit, do you want me to make a choice?"

"Is it Zeref or Mavis."

"You want me to betray Zeref, betray the Albarez Empire, and betray everything I created with my own hands!"

"But you obviously shouldn't be like this - at least, you shouldn't give me such high hopes."

"That's not what you really meant."

Ogast suddenly reacted. He suppressed his thoughts of going to the Fairy Tail Guild to meet his mother immediately and continued reading the story.

This story is actually not very detailed.

After all, Everit didn't investigate too deeply, so he could just fool him.

But the key information was revealed - Mavis is still alive, and - she was in the mirror world just now, but she didn't know the news from the outside world, because she was in her room in the mirror world, eating cake and reading magazines.

She didn't love Everit - the love between man and woman, and Everit didn't love her either.

But Everit is very confident, and he treats Mavis much better than Zeref.

The first-generation guild president was pitiful. He didn't even have a pair of shoes when he was a child, and he was often bullied. When he grew up, he lost his best friend. He just founded the guild and his situation was better, but he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved.

If it had been anyone else, Everit would have just listened to a story and let it go.

But this person is Mavis, the first president of Fairy Tail, the one who created the beginning of happiness.

Any member of Fairy Tail will, should, and must pamper her!

There is nothing she can enjoy in life, but after death - let her get everything!

By the way——

As long as the home is warm enough, the "daughter" will not run away with Huang Mao!

Ogast read the entire story book like an obsession, especially the second half, and read it over and over again.

Because Mavis is written here, and because Everit is now the person in the guild who knows the most about Mavis’ daily life, his thoughts are flowing here, and he writes a lot about Mavis without knowing it.

Know her favorite desserts, favorite fruits, favorite tastes of dishes, favorite clothes, favorite shoes, favorite colors, favorite magazines and celebrities

A living Mavis, vividly on paper.

"Mom." The hundred-year-old man covered his face and cried. He didn't even dare to get close to the book for fear that his tears would wet the pages.

Ogast cried for a long time before finally suppressing the strong longing in her heart.

He has more important things to do.

At the end of the story, Olgaste understood why Everit came to him and why she told him this story.

The last scene depicted——

Mavis walked on the street with her hands behind her back, smiling innocently like a little girl, looking at various commodities.

And a centenarian followed behind her, carrying large and small bags in her hands.

"Ougast, although it's many years late, but--"

Mavis turned around with her hands behind her back and said, "Do you want a gift? Mommy makes a lot of money from Yevlit, I can buy it for you."

"Mom." Imagine the last picture in the book, August completely broke down and whispered, "I want a lollipop, the kind with circles, flat, colorful candy."

That was something he wanted to eat when he was a child, but he couldn't afford it, and other children would never throw it into the trash before eating it.

Later, August bought such candy countless times, but the regret of childhood could never be made up.

Auguste suddenly raised his head with a firm look on his face: "Yevlit, as you wish, I can give you everything you want, as long as - you can do what you say!"

"He is so pitiful."

Yevlit stood on the roof, and Miko behind him said.

"Yes." Yevlit nodded, and said: "The old man's crying is quite sad."

He didn't care much about Auguste's feelings, but because he saw Auguste crying with true feelings, crying and calling for his mother like a child, he was touched by it - not sympathy for him, but sympathy for himself.

"At least he still has a chance to see his mother."

"But what about me?"

Yevlit smiled: "I don't have a mother."

In two lives, Yevlit has no mother.

In his previous life, he was an orphan, thrown into the trash can at the beginning, and he was also abandoned by his parents.

When he crossed over, he was also a child picked up at the beginning.

At that time, his adoptive father was already quite old, and his adoptive mother also died young.

Natsu can see Igneel.

Wendy can see Grandine.

Erza - he also went to find Irene for Erza.

Even Auguste, as long as he understood the storybook, knew Yefrit's plan, and was willing to act according to the plan, he could realize his lifelong dream - of course, that was to let him give up Zeref on his own initiative.

But it was obvious that Auguste did not hesitate too much, perhaps he was really tired, and when he saw another better wish, he ran towards it without hesitation. Or maybe he knew that Zeref's side was ultimately a dream bubble, and if he didn't know the current situation, he would get nothing.

Yefrit helped everyone realize their dreams and fill their regrets, but unfortunately no one could help him fill his regrets.

Miko slowly hugged Yefrit.

In this world, no one - can have everything.

Zeref can't.

Acnologia can't.

Yefrit - can't either.

Miko sighed in her heart: She was the luckiest one, because the human Herames was cold-hearted by nature, and she did not inherit the obsession of the demon Herames.

Relatively speaking, although she lacked a lot, she had forgotten them all.

As Miko, she had no regrets.

"No need." Yevlit smiled and untied Miko's hand, saying, "Don't underestimate me, let's go."

He was just a little sentimental, far from being crushed. After all, apart from that, he had everything he wanted, and he was already one of the luckiest people.

"Yeah." Miko nodded.
