Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 152 The Royal Invitation (Please Subscribe!)

"Now that the biggest problem in the south has been resolved, let's put everything else aside and focus on building the southern railway network first."

Looking at Jiude, Moon emphasized this matter. For him, the most important thing now is to build the southern railway network. Other things have to be put at the back of the priority list. What could be more important than the golden armor?

"Don't worry, Brother Moen, I will definitely start construction everywhere as soon as possible! I will try to build the southern railway network as soon as possible!"

Jiude immediately responded with a serious expression. Although he didn't know why Moon was so anxious, since Moon was anxious, he would try to speed up the progress.

Now facing Moon, Jiude was more respectful. It was because Moon had solved his biggest trouble with just a casual move.

He has seen the power of "Fairy Tail" and the strength of "Rose Star God", so he really made the right choice by clinging to this thigh!

Once the Duke of Savalou fell, the nobles in the south scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. The remaining few, big and small, who had followed the Duke of Savalou, certainly did not dare to cause trouble again.

Jiude knew that Moon didn't need to be involved in the rest of the matters. He talked all the way and none of these nobles dared to ignore him. They all had to treat him as a guest of honor!
Those local nobles who looked down on him before now all have to cooperate with him honestly!
"Sigh~"

I have to say, just thinking about it, Jiude feels very comfortable. Is this the feeling of having a backer behind you?
This made Jiude even change a lot of route plans overnight. Some of the unreasonable routes that were previously planned to avoid those aristocratic industries have now all been changed back.

According to previous statements, if the railway's operations give some of the profits to these local aristocrats, then shouldn't these aristocrats make some sacrifices? Otherwise, why should they be given a share of the profits?

The routes that have been completed in several places such as Balneario and Seville are all planned very reasonably.

The nobles in those places were quite cooperative, providing manpower, labor, and land for the construction of the railway, all without asking for any money.

Given their dedication and diligence, it would be very reasonable to give them a share of the profits. If he really didn't give them any, Jiude himself would feel embarrassed, after all, they did help a lot.

In the southern railway network, Fairy Tail invested in it with military force, while the Heartfilia Group invested with technology. The nobles in the south were subdued and had to invest with land and manpower.

Moon and Jiude are very particular about their work, so it’s not a waste to share some of the profits with them.

Although it is only one percent of the local station's profit, but if it continues to operate over time, it will eventually make a profit, right?

It's better than being arrested like the Duke of Savalou.

Ask yourself, how many of you have clean records? How many of you have never sought help from a dark guild? Who isn't afraid of being visited by the Magic Council?
Of course, there are not many people who dare to play such a lavish game as the Duke of Savalou. Besides, not every noble has a dark guild in his fiefdom.

During this period, at the invitation of the Magic Council, guilds such as "Fairy Tail", "Four-Headed Hounds", "Blue Pegasus", and "Snake Princess' Scale" launched a large-scale crackdown on dark guilds in various parts of the south, and involved many nobles.

This has made the nobles in the south feel insecure. They are now eager to surrender in order to protect themselves.

However, after several careless dark guilds were wiped out, the operation to eliminate them had to be halted. Those guilds, realizing what was happening, had already concealed their activities and gone into hiding, making them difficult to find.

Among the major guilds, only "Fairy Tail" and "Snake Princess Scale" are located in the south. Guilds in the north like "Blue Pegasus" cannot always throw most of their people to the south.

Therefore, this "Southern Dark Guild Crackdown" was not going to last long. Everyone was invited to go through the motions and clean up those ignorant and prominent dark guilds, and they would naturally leave. This was also a face-saving measure for the Magic Council.

The people from the Magic Council could have stayed longer, but they were just a branch after all, with personnel scattered throughout the Kingdom of Fiore. They would not always concentrate their power in the south, and in the end, only a few "branches of branches" would remain.

This "crackdown period" will soon be over, and then these nobles will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, little brother Moen, the royal family said they wanted to thank you. Can you think of a time when you can make a trip to the capital?"

Looking at Moon, who was young but already famous in the continent of Ishgar, Jiude suddenly thought of something.

Someone from the royal family had found him before and expressed their desire to meet Moon. After all, this time Moon not only helped him solve the problem, but also helped the royal family. The royal family gained a lot of benefits from the easy win, and they finally got their hands into the solid south.

“The royal family.”

Moon thought about it and realized that he was not very interested in this matter.

As wizards, they don't really have much involvement with the royal family. The Fiore royal family and government really have no presence in the daily lives of these wizards.

After all, even if something happens or a crime is committed, it is the Magic Council that will deal with them. The Fiore royal family and the government have no direct jurisdiction over the wizards, and they have no ability to intervene even if they want to.

Although the Kingdom of Fiore and the royal family both have knight orders and have absorbed many wizards, if the Kingdom of Fiore is regarded as a wizard guild, their strength is indeed not ranked high.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for them to command and govern the various wizard guilds, and the Magic Council will not allow them to seize power. They only need to manage worldly affairs well.

"It won't hurt to go and take a look. You've really helped them this time. I'm sure they'll prepare a lot of gifts for you as a thank you."

Seeing that Moon didn't seem to want to have much contact with the royal family, Jiude spoke up and said that he felt that there would always be some benefits in having a good relationship with the royal family, and since the royal family had taken over the Duke of Savalou's territory, they would have to cooperate after all.

"That's fine."

Moon nodded. He just thought it was troublesome at first, and the royal family had always strongly supported the development of railways. He didn't think they would hinder the construction of the railway network in the south, so he felt there was no need to meet them. He didn't want to cause trouble.

But since they insisted on inviting him, there was no reason for Moon to show his fear. It would be interesting to take some time to go there and see what kind of people the royal family of Fiore are.
