Chapter 511 The Source of Magic Power

"Yes, the year when Natsu and a group of dragon-slayer wizards appeared, according to the records of ancient documents, Eslandon was in the age of dragons more than 400 years ago, and the magic power of that era was extremely strong.

But with the emergence of the dragon civil war, the magic power began to decline rapidly, especially after the appearance of the black dragon, the magic-devouring dragon, the magic power dropped off a cliff.

With the complete disappearance of the dragon, the concentration of magic power dropped to an extreme, and magic became something that only a few geniuses could truly reach its peak.

But after July 7, X777, magic returned again and began to explode violently. Countless geniuses were also born at this time, and magic once again ushered in a prosperous age!

Does that mean that the real source of magic actually comes from dragons and the dragon-slayer wizards who transformed themselves into dragon bodies?

They can transform into magic power by swallowing the same elements, and further promote the activity of magic power, thus promoting the resurgence of magic power.

In other words, the Dragon Slayer itself is a perpetual motion machine for magic power. As long as he provides Natsu with flames, he can continuously release magic power. "

Xiao explained his analysis to Makarov sentence by sentence.

After Makarov heard this, he immediately felt a little ridiculous. In Makarov's understanding since childhood, magic is magic, and no one has ever investigated where the magic comes from.

Everyone feels that magic is the power that the world bestows on all living beings. All magicians also believe that the existence of magic is a blessing from heaven.

But Xiao told him that magic power is not a gift from God, but comes from dragons. In an era when there are more dragons, the magic power becomes stronger. When the dragons disappear, the magic power will be reduced.

Then, the dragon slayer wizards appeared. They took the place of the dragon and continued to work on transforming magic power, so the magic power of the world was restored again.

Makarov wanted to refute, but found that Xiao's theory was not groundless, but had enough data to support it.

The most important thing is that with a being like Naz, he is constantly confirming the correctness of Xiao's statement, leaving him unable to find any reason to refute it.

"Natsu, give everyone a big one, a roar, let everyone see the real fire dragon!"

Xiao suddenly stood up, raised his wine glass, and shouted loudly.

"Oh chi~~~"

Natsu put one hand on his elbow and made a half-curved fist with the other hand. After an excited response, he began to gather all the magic power in his body.

Then, Natsu made fists with both hands and placed them in front of his mouth, and a flame circle with the magic pattern on the head of the fire dragon opened.

"The fire dragon's roar~roar~"

With a loud roar, Natsu sprayed the surging dragon's breath high into the sky, and the pillar of fire shot hundreds of meters into the sky, scattering all the clouds in the sky.

The roar of the dragon illuminated the entire Hobbiton, and everyone felt that there was an extra red sun in the sky, which was full of shock.

"WOWWWWW~~~~"

"Fire Dragon~"

"Fire Dragon~"

"Fire Dragon~"

After a brief shock, everyone in Hobbiton immediately fell into a frenzy, shouting Natsu's name, giving Natsu enough face.

"Hahaha~~"

Natsu stood on the table, gave Gray a provocative look, and looked very proud with his hands on his waist.

"That idiot..."

A vein popped up on Gray's forehead. He was about to curse, but suddenly stopped because he felt a weak magic power entering his body, quickly recovering the magic power he had spent on hunting in the morning.

"this……?"

"Natsu's magic?"

"I see!"

"Is this the power of the dragon?"

Fairy Tail and the others also felt the rapid recovery of magic power.

Some looked confused, others thoughtful.

Laxus and Galileo, both dragon slayers, immediately understood the root of the dragon's power.

"Sure enough, my guess was right, the dragon is indeed the source of Eslandon's magic power!"

Xiao took a sip of wine and gave Makarov a look to let him feel it for himself.

"amazing!"

Markrov did not argue, but readily accepted Xiao's theory, had a drink with Xiao, and continued drinking.

…

…

The banquet continued, but within a few minutes, a group of dwarves, led by Thorin, came to Xiao.

In fact, many dwarves had already arrived, but because they saw the banquet here, they did not rush in directly, but kept waiting outside.

"Xiao, what's going on?"

Thorin looked at Xiao with a serious face, pointed at everything around him, and asked him.

"The mercenaries I found are the Fairy Tail Magic Guild. They are here specifically to help you slay the dragon. How about it? They are very strong, aren't they?"

"Mercenaries? Are they really mercenaries?"

When Thorin heard Xiao's words, he immediately fell into ecstasy. With so many strong masters, this trip to Gushan was completely stable.

"Of course~~"

Xiao looked at Natsu who was starting to perform again, and began to introduce the surrounding Fairy Tail guild members.

"Main force, Fairy Tail Guild President: Makarov Giant Magic, controller of light magic;

Laxus, Gajeel, and Natsu are all people who have mastered dragon-slaying magic, a magic created specifically for the purpose of hunting dragons;

There are others...! "

“(#`O′)Hey~”

"What do you mean other, hello~"

"Although I'm here to join in the fun, give me a little bit, you bastard!"

"At least give me some respect T^T"

The other words directly caused the other people in the Fairy Tail guild to stand up and shout.

"Hahaha, everyone, you are very welcome to participate in this mission!"

Thorin smiled awkwardly at first, then picked up a glass of wine, stood on the high platform, and said seriously:

"I, son of Thorn II, grandson of Thor, king of the Durin tribe, king under the mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, hereby promise that if we succeed, we will share the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, and you will have ten thousand taels of gold. , become the richest person in Middle-earth!"

"Oh~~Long live Thorin Oakenshield!"

"Long live the dwarves!"

"Long live the King of Turin!"

Everyone in the Fairy Tail guild cheered immediately after receiving Thorin's promise.

Through the magical images released by Xiao before, they all saw how huge the amount of Gushan's treasures was, which was enough wealth to buy the entire Kingdom of Fiore.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but howl with excitement. Even if they could only get a small share, they could lie down completely in this life and live a retired life ahead of schedule.

"Then, let's start the banquet, let's drink until dawn!"

The other dwarves also raised their glasses and joined the banquet.

Every one of the dwarves who lost their home lived in poverty, and the hobbit craft beer was not something they could usually afford to sell.

Naturally, they didn’t want to miss this wonderful banquet, so they all joined in and started drinking happily.

One by one, they eagerly picked up the wine and poured it down, as if they were going to drink themselves to death.

The addition of the dwarves made the banquet more lively. The dwarves were born with the talent to heat up the atmosphere.

With their presence at the banquet, there will never be a moment of silence.

They even only need various tableware on the table, and even clap their hands and bang the table, stamp their feet, and they can play passionate and passionate songs full of agitation.

The hobbits are born masters of dancing. They dance with each other to the songs of the dwarves, and they are so happy.

The atmosphere of the banquet has quickly reached its climax. Under the influence of this atmosphere, everyone joined the banquet uncontrollably and began to twist their bodies randomly.

The dwarf band played a cheerful rhythm, accompanied by singing and laughter, and the whole scene was lively.

Everyone was immersed in joy and forgot their worries and fatigue.

People at the banquet enjoyed the pleasure brought by food, wine and music, as if time had stopped.

…

…

"Oh my God!"

Gandalf looked at the lively banquet and patted his forehead helplessly.

Then, entering Baggins' house from the path, he saw Bilbo sitting in a chair in a daze.

"I'm fine, just let me sit for a while and I'll be fine!"

Bilbo heard someone coming in and immediately said casually.

"You've been sitting still for too long~"

When Gandalf saw Bilbo's appearance, he knew that someone must have told him about inviting him to steal things in the dragon's lair, and he immediately asked:

"Tell me, are your mother's plates, those decorations, really that important?"

"Where is that young hobbit who used to go into the woods looking for elves all day long and wanted to see the outside world?"

Facing Gandalf's question, Bilbo remained silent. Once upon a time, he was indeed full of passion, but he was already 50 years old, which is already approaching old age for Hobbits at any time.

The fire in his heart had already gradually disappeared in the passing of time. His dream of knighthood was just a dream after all.

He is not a knight or a hero, he is just a short and cowardly hobbit.

But does he really want to spend his whole life hiding in a tree hole like other hobbits? Bilbo was shaken again.

Gandalf seemed to feel Bilbo's heart, and his tone gradually softened: "The world is not in the book, nor on the map, but outside!"

"Think about your ancestors, your Tuk family, your great-great-great-uncle, the king who can kill orcs head-on. When you return from your adventure, you will have stories to tell to everyone you meet!"

After Gandalf said these words, Baggins was completely tempted, but what he was most worried about was safety.

"Can you guarantee my safe return?"

"No, because even if you come back, you won't be who you are now!"

"Sorry, Gandalf, you have the wrong person!!"

After saying that, Bilbo was about to get up and leave, but Gandalf stopped him again:

"Bilbo, look at this Eagle Shield. It's so beautiful. You bought it. This shows that your heart yearns for freedom and adventure!"

"Let me think about it!"

…

…

Bilbo Baggins looked at the lively banquet outside the house. The hustle and bustle did not belong to him, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere for a while.

Before he knew it, Bilbo fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he found that his home was already empty, leaving only an agreement asking him to join the team and become a treasure thief.

Looking at this agreement, Bilbo had mixed feelings in his heart, and his whole body was shaken. Bilbo took the agreement and hesitated.

He knew what it meant, but the fear in his heart prevented him from making an easy decision.

At this moment, he saw the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and an impulse surged in his heart.

He remembered Gandalf's words and his dream when he was young.

Finally, Bilbo made up his mind. He quickly packed his bag, took his small round shield, and chased after the route of the Lonely Mountain Expeditionary Force.

Along the way, he was full of tension, but also a little expectation.

He didn't know what the future would be like, but he knew that this was a turning point in his life.

Once he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
