Chapter 510: In Pursuit of the Wizard!

Middle-earth, Third Age, 2941, Spring.

After breakfast, Bilbo Baggins sat on a public bench by the roadside, lit a pipe of tobacco, and enjoyed the warm sunshine on his face.

What a pleasant and leisurely day~

However, at this moment, Gandalf, a wizard in black robes, broke Baggins' peaceful days.

Facing this nagging wizard, Baggins couldn't avoid it, hid directly back at home, and closed the door.

Gandalf smiled at this and used his staff to carve a rune in front of the door of Baggins' house.

"Da~da~da~"

The crisp sound of horse hooves scraping against the stone streets of Hobbiton made Bilbo, who had just been wary of wizards, immediately feel excited in his heart.

This familiar sound of horse hooves was indeed Xiao. He came to see me again.

Bilbo opened the door excitedly and saw Xiao riding an ox horse, and dozens of people with slightly different styles following him.

"Oh~ Xiao, are they your friends?"

Bilbo's expression changed quickly, and he asked with some confusion.

"My hired thug, I followed the wizard, did he choose you?"

Xiao nodded, pointed to the mark on the door of Baggins' house, and said intriguingly.

"ah??"

Bilbo looked puzzled, not understanding what Shaw meant.

At Bilbo's invitation, the group entered his home.

"I was invited by the King under the Mountain and the wizard Gandalf to form a team of dragon-slaying warriors, but the prerequisite for slaying the dragon is that I need a snitch to get back the Arken Gem, the symbol of the emperor belonging to the dwarves!"

Xiao tried his best to tell the whole process in words that Bilbo could understand.

Bilbo: "(⊙o⊙)..."

After Bilbo heard this, his whole body felt bad. He gasped violently, and the huge fear of the unknown almost overwhelmed him. Sweat dropped from his forehead like rain.

Although he had read a lot about slaying dragons and the like in books, when it was his turn, he knew he couldn't do it.

"Hey, Bilbo, don't scare me!"

Xiao hurried forward to check. He didn't expect that Bilbo would collapse just after hearing Gandalf inviting him to steal things from the dragon's lair.

"no!"

After Bilbo shook his head repeatedly, he fainted.

"Eh~~~~"

Looking at the little guy who fainted, everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild widened their eyes.

"These guild president's kin are really cowardly!"

Natsu laughed heartlessly,

"Shut up!"

Makarov jumped up and punched Natsu in the head, knocking him down.

"Hahaha~~~"

The others looked at Makarov and the hobbits around them, and immediately started laughing too.

Although Makarov is powerful, his height has always been criticized because he is also a dwarf/halfling.

However, this height is just right among hobbits.

Even Makarov has a very noble temperament because he has been practicing light magic for many years.

Therefore, he is a typical tall, rich and handsome man in Hobbiton, and there are still many Hobbit aunts ogling him along the way.

"Everyone, let's go to Bilbo's house for a while. My dwarf friend will probably arrive in the evening. Let's go shopping first and prepare a sumptuous banquet!"

Xiao held Bilbo on his waist with one hand, took out a bag of silver coins, and spoke to everyone in the guild.

"Oh~~~"

Everyone raised their fists in the air and cheered.

"Banquet, banquet!"

Everyone who got the money immediately dispersed and started shopping in Hobbiton.

Only Philid Justin of the Thunder Gods stayed, and he was looking at the brand Gandalf had branded on the door of Baggins' house.

【ᚠ】

"What kind of words is this? It seems to have some kind of magic power?"

Philide stroked the words and felt the magnificent and powerful power above. The quality of this power far exceeded magic power, and it was a greater and more sacred power.

"Rune writing, also called rune writing, is dwarf writing in this world. It was written by the demigod Maia, so it looks powerful!"

"Half...half-god? Then did he also participate in slaying the dragon?"

Philide's eyes widened in disbelief.

In this world, no matter what existence it is, as long as it has something to do with God, it will have extremely strong power.

For example, the Xiao in front of him is recognized as the Lord of Dreams and the God of Nightmares.

His power in the material world is actually not very powerful, but once someone falls into a dream, even the Holy Ten Mage will be sucked into him in an instant.

Felit couldn't help but look forward to how powerful a demigod would be.

"It will come, the wizard is the initiator of this mission!"

"This world has been at peace for 400 years, and the dark forces have begun to support Su again. He is afraid that the Dark Lord will join forces with the dragon after his complete recovery, so he plans to kill the dragon first!"

Xiao answered all questions.

When Philide heard Xiao's words, there was a cold sweat on his forehead.

In his opinion, Xiao told him this secret because he wanted him to stay and help deal with the so-called Dark Lord.

Even demigods were wary of an existence. How could he possibly help that kind of existence? So he evaded again and again: "Well~~ Speaker Xiao, there is no need to tell me this kind of thing. The magic power I am using here Not one in a hundred!”

…

…

The members of Fairy Tail who were responsible for shopping soon came back, and everyone returned to Baggins' home with a variety of high-quality ingredients.

Natsu and Gray, enemies of ice and fire, even brought back a wild boar and a bear on their backs.

Everyone immediately started preparing for the banquet, whether it was because of Makarov or the hobbits' unique hospitality.

After learning that a banquet was being prepared at Baggins' house, more and more hobbits gathered.

In the end, hundreds of hobbits from 37 households in Hobbiton brought ingredients to the Baggins house to participate in the banquet.

It was finally evening, but the open space in front of Baggins' house was still brightly lit, and people were singing and dancing, enjoying delicious food.

Huge wild boars and brown bears were skinned whole, smeared with expensive spices, and roasted slowly over the fire. The sizzling fat continued to exude a rich aroma.

Natsu, who had always been the protagonist of the banquet, started to stand on the table and perform his own firework fireworks, squandering his magic power wantonly.

As for the rest of the magicians, they looked at Natsu with envy, because they discovered that after they came to this world, their magic power was reduced, and even the recovery speed of their magic was more than a hundred times slower.

Only Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus, who are dragon slayers, are not affected.

First, the source of the power of dragon slayers is that they turn themselves into dragons. They are human-shaped dragons. Their magic is more like the instinct of being a dragon. The real name is [Dragon Power].

Although the existence of magic is restricted in Middle-earth, it does not restrict the instinctive power of creatures, so dragons can breathe fire and kill people at will, without being restricted by rules.

Second, the Dragon Slayer Mage can transform magic power by devouring the same elements, and even rapidly increase his own strength after eating high-quality same elements.

Even if Natsu consumes all his magic power, he can start to recover his magic power as long as he eats the flames. There is no need to worry about the consumption of magic power at all.

Even among the three dragon slayers, only Natsu can be unscrupulous. After all, flames are everywhere, but thunder and iron are not easy to find.

Therefore, even if they are both dragon slayers, Natsu is the only one who dares to waste his magic power like this.

Although the others hated him so much, they had no choice but to let Natsu be arrogant for a while, and then take care of him when they returned.

"Hey, President Makarov, have you noticed?"

At the banquet, Xiao suddenly asked Makarov next to him while chewing on the roasted pork ribs.

"What did you find? Did an enemy sneak in?"

Makarov was a little confused, and then immediately became alert, wondering if an enemy was coming.

Xiao held Makarov's shoulders and motioned him to sit down, and then slowly said: "There are no enemies. I just want to ask, President, have you noticed that there are more magic elements in the air!"

Xiao squinted his eyes and used cyber aura to monitor the concentration of magic power. He found that every time Natsu released fireworks magic, the concentration of magic power in the surrounding area would increase by one millionth.

Makarov Wenyan was startled, and immediately closed his eyes to sense it. As a Holy Ten Mage, he had an extremely keen sense of magic power, and soon he also discovered that the magic power Xiao mentioned had rebounded.

"Is this because Natsu's magic power will be robbed by the world?"

Makarov couldn't believe it. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever experienced such a thing.

The magic power in Eslandon is almost infinite, so this slight increase in magic power cannot attract his attention at all.

But in Middle-earth, a world where this kind of magic is almost completely absent, every growth is very obvious.

"I have a guess, President, do you still remember in which year the magic tide of Eslandon began to increase in distance?"

"July 7, X777!"
