Chapter 338,

"Did you really let me die?" Mester looked at the report with an inexplicable emotion.

A few days ago, a mission order about him was suddenly issued, asking him to dress up and then lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

He still doesn't know why.

As a result, now that I have seen the report - my hanging heart has finally died.

but--

This can be regarded as completely cutting off the unbearable memory of the past - about the identity of Dora Bart.

Dora Bart is completely dead, and there will only be Mest from Fairy Tail.

"Catch me? Just them?"

Emily was speechless.

She was in the prison car at the moment. She put a soft fur mattress underneath, and then lay on it, crossing her legs and shaking her little feet. Then she drank the specialty wine she bought in the last city and read the reports. .

A few days ago, she received a task about her.

Let her be exposed to the soldiers of the Alvares Empire, and then be captured by them.

Emily naturally obeyed, so she took the prison car and headed to the Royal City of Albarez.

The rest of the group also got the message.

"Emily and Everit were caught?"

"Do you believe it?"

"Anyone can be exposed and caught, but it's impossible for them to cheat with magic!"

"The report is biased. Didn't we all go to the Albarez Empire? Why does it say that they were captured in Ishgar?"

"Idiot Natsu, this is obviously Everit's plan!"

"Yevrit and Emily were caught?!"

"Really or not?!"

The Twelve Shields were also very shocked.

Just one Evelite made them unable to sleep, not able to eat well, and even afraid to go to the toilet.

As we all know, going to the toilet is when people are most vulnerable.

If Everit jumped out while they were squatting in the pit, that would really be...

Girls like Timaria and Brandish didn't even dare to change clothes or take a shower.

As a result, tell them now that Everit was captured by the soldiers?

ah?

Although they did issue a wanted warrant, they didn't expect the soldiers to catch Everit.

What kind of warrior is this? Can you catch Everit? !

"By the way, isn't Everit in the palace?"

Only then did everyone realize it later.

Isn’t Everit playing hide and seek in the palace?

Why was he suddenly arrested in a city far away from the royal city?

"The thing that should be complained about most is that His Majesty was so arrogant and lustful that he ordered them to be arrested," Brandish said.

"Fake news," Argyle said.

"What is the use of such fake news apart from damaging their morale?" Di Maria was very confused.

"It's not fake news." Olgast shook his head.

"What?" Everyone looked at him in shock.

"I received the news from below. Those guys want to send people to the royal city to claim credit, and they hope to really get as much bounty as the wanted order." Ogast said calmly.

Yevrit, bounty: 8 billion J.

Emily, bounty: 8.8 billion J.

This was what Olgast had decided. Of course, Twelve Shields and the others had never expected that the people below would be able to catch these two people.

Can.

If you really catch it, you can give it to me.

Although it sounds like a lot, the S-level commission is only a few million dollars, but everyone here is a prominent figure in the empire, so this amount of money can be easily spent.

"Is it true?" Everyone was shocked.

This is too outrageous.

Did you really arrest those two?

In other words, those two people took the initiative to expose themselves and wanted to come to the royal capital with their official identities?

"Eileen, what do you think?" Jacob asked.

Everyone also looked at her.

Irene has been very strange these past two days. Everyone thought that because she was being held hostage by Everit, they understood her quite well.

But now that Everit is gone, Irene can finally speak freely.

Among the Twelve Shields, the most prestigious are Irene and Ogast.

Eileen said: "Let it be what it is. I respect Olgaste's opinion."

She didn't want to say it.

She didn't know what Everit wanted to do, didn't know his plan, and didn't know how she and others should deal with his plan.

Erin knew that everything that was happening now and all their efforts had nothing to do with the final result.

When I think of this, I really feel a little sad.

She has been very proud for the past four hundred years, but some time ago, her pride was shattered.

This made her mood a little unstable.

Ogast sighed inwardly.

He actually understood Eileen quite well.

Everit went to find Irene first, and must have said something to her, which broke through Irene's spiritual defense.

Just like that to him.

Everit—actually turned him into a traitor.

As for Irene, it wasn't much better.

perhaps--

Both he and Irene were betrayed, so what was the point of this battle?

The difference is——

Eileen could lie flat or feel disheartened.

But he couldn't do it. Not only could he not slack off, he even had to actively prepare for this battle - in the way Everit wanted.

Everyone looked at Ogast.

Ogast said: "In that case, let's use the plan. I will send someone to pick them up and bring them to the royal city."

"Who's going?"

"." There was a moment of silence.

Who wants to go?

That guy Yefulit could give them a mental breakdown in the palace.

That Emily is also a user of deceptive magic.

Two deceptive magic

It must be impossible for them to really be caught or controlled.

At this time, whoever picks them up may be tricked by two deceptive magics.

even--

Death is not scary.

The terrible thing is that pride is trampled to death.

Look at Irene's former eldest sister, such a calm and proud person, but now she has become distracted, and her whole person exudes a restrained and dejected atmosphere.

Even Eileen is like this.

Not even Ogast could take down Everit.

No one can resist this.

No matter how proud you are, you still have to be self-aware.

Seeing this, Ogast said: "Don't you want to go?"

"." The scene was silent.

Everyone is quite proud anyway.

Even if I don’t want to go, I don’t want to say it directly.

"Then I'll go." Ogast said and stood up.

"No, if you want to go, you might as well go with me." Lacade said quickly.

"No -" Ogast shook his head: "Let's just decide. You stay and take charge of the overall situation."

Irene glanced at Ojuste inexplicably.

Did you betray Zeref? Ogast.

Irene had such a suspicion in her mind, but she touched her chest where Everit had pierced her body and recalled what Everit said.

Everit has a way to restore her to an ordinary person, not a dragon, not a wizard. Let her return to an ordinary person who can sleep, have a sense of taste, and feel everything in the world.

Finally, Everit asked her: "Are you still willing to have your own way?"

she.

If she became an ordinary person, would she fall in love with her daughter?

If she became an ordinary person, would Heramus forgive her?

If she becomes an ordinary person, will the rest of her life become exciting and beautiful?

Irene was very tangled and complicated in her heart. She knew clearly that Ogast had betrayed everyone, but she still didn't say anything.

As the meeting ended, Ogast saw Irene's distraught state and said, "Irene, you stay."

Erin therefore sat in her position and did not move.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Ogast said: "What did Everit tell you?"

Erin shook her head and said, "I won't tell you, after all - you won't tell me what Yefulit said to you."

"That's right." Ogast nodded: "However, I have already made a decision in my heart."

"What about you?" He stared at Erin.

Erin took a deep breath and said, "On the day Everit left, he stabbed my chest with a knife made of Acnologia's bones."

Ogast was startled and said, "Then are you cursed by Acnologia?"

Erin nodded and said, "I got it."

She said with a bitter tone: "It was just a silent stab that I didn't notice, and I almost died there."

"If Everit wanted to, he wouldn't even need to fight anyone to slaughter all of our palace. We would have no power to resist."

"Yes." Although Ogast had expected it, hearing it from Irene's mouth still made him feel "desperate".

He who has reached the end of magic, compared to the level of Everit who has already stepped out, the gap is actually so big.

If you are a person who has been pursuing power all your life and thinks you have reached the peak, if you are hit by this, you may not be able to recover.

Just like Erin's current state.

Ogast felt that Irene had lost her spirit now, as if her ambition had been destroyed by that knife.

"I'm not devastated," Erin said.

"Sorry, that's not what I meant." Ogast apologized quickly.

"." Irene had no intention of arguing with him.

"I thought I was going to die there because there was no way the wound could heal, and even I would have died from a penetrating injury like this," she said.

The wound cannot be healed, even if it is sewn up densely with needles and threads, it will be useless. Even if it can stop the blood from flowing out, can it still stop the flow of magic power?

Everit didn't care at that time, so Irene had to find Acnologia and get help from him in order to survive.

Eileen said: "But then - Everit destroyed the power of the curse."

Ogast's eyes widened: Destroy the curse? That's something neither Acnologia nor Zeref can do!

Eileen said: "You understand."

She laughed inexplicably: "Yevrit - really has the power to completely kill Zeref and Acnologia."

Zeref is immortal because of the curse.

Acnologia also became invincible due to the curse.

But Everit has the power to break the curse. No matter how weak the effect is, Everit also possesses deception magic and has the assistance of Heramus.

Even if he uses the stupidest method, Evelit will definitely kill two people and win the final victory.

Erin said: "Is such a battle really meaningful?"

"A losing battle."

"A fight where whether we try hard or not, it has no impact on the outcome."

Ogast remained silent, precisely because he thought of such a thing and knew that he could not achieve the outcome he wanted most.

There is no way to have both.

In the end, it was Mabius in that book - his love for his mother surpassed everything else!

This is also the reason why Ogast decided to go by himself after seeing that no one else wanted to go.

If he could see Everit again—could he see his mother?

Even if it's just one side, even if we can't recognize each other.

It is not a secret that Everit took Mavis with him.

Zeref wanted to attack Fairy Tail before because he wanted to get the fairy's heart.

As a result, he found out that Mavis was with Everit, and he had no confidence that he could get it back. Even though he had said harsh words at first, once he started studying Everit, he realized how troublesome this guy was. Got the idea.

Originally, his plan was to get the goblin's heart and then kill Everit and Acnologia. Now in order to fight Everit, he had to form an alliance with Acnologia.

Not only Erin and Ogast, Zeref's pride was shattered by Everit earlier.

Originally, Zeref didn't take Everit seriously until he arrived at Tenrou Island.

At most, he was afraid of Heramus.

At this time, he was still looking at Natsu.

But after what happened at the Gate of Hades, Zeref discovered after reviewing the situation that Everit was not only strong in deception magic, but also had research abilities that were not weaker than him.

Only then did Zeref put away his pride.

But until now, Zeref has adopted a challenger's mentality and wants to launch a desperate challenge to the big BOSS, Everit.

Since he didn't want to attack Fairy Tail anymore and had changed his mind, Zeref also shared this information with his subordinates before leaving.

That's why Ogast felt so regretful about the hasty separation last time.

If he could think of it earlier and agree, maybe then - he would be able to see his mother.

In his opinion, Ogast's choice was actually no choice.

If Zeref can win, everyone will be happy - but it has nothing to do with their efforts.

In fact, judging from the plan that Everit gave him, Olgaste, both rationally and emotionally, felt that it would be best for Everit to win - if Zeref wins, that will be the Alvares Empire. It will be a completely bloody war against Ishgar, but if Everit wins this war, there won’t even be too many sacrifices.

It was for supporting his father that war broke out between the two continents.

Or support Everit and achieve peace?

It seems that Ogast has a choice, but in fact he has no choice - again, no matter what the twelve shields do, it is useless. In the end, it only depends on the outcome of the four people.

Moreover, after Zeref wins, he will still choose death.

He would lose his father and his lifelong wish would not be fulfilled.

People are emotional and rational.

At this time, Everit gave him another chance - Mebis.

At this point, Ogast understood that he had no choice at all.

Is it better to keep half of your love, or to lose everything in a meaningless way?

Is it peace between the two continents, or is it because of his father's selfish interests that led to war between the two continents?

Ogast finally chose the ending in the storybook.

‘Wow’

Erin pushed away the stool, stood up, and said, "Ojust, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"Poor man," Ogast said bluntly.

"Why?" Erin asked.

"Don't dare to face your heart." Ogast said.

"It's so strange." Irene looked at him: "What on earth did Everit say to you that would make you become so thorough."

"." Ogast smiled and did not answer.

Just as Erin wouldn't tell him, he wouldn't tell Erin either.

"I hope you can get what you want, otherwise your life will be really meaningless." Irene sneered and left.

Ogast retorted: "Eileen, your life after becoming a dragon will be equally meaningless."

Erin's steps paused for a moment, and then she left as if nothing had happened.
