Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 239 Rose Field (Happy Qixi Festival~)

"This problem must be solved quickly."

Makarov's expression was serious. He was naturally referring to the super-subspace magic "Anima," which was truly a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.

This time, it even fell directly on the guild's children.

After learning about Lisanna's situation, Makarov immediately lost his temper, as it directly touched a raw nerve.

Lisanna escaped this time with Moen's help, but what about the future?

What if someone else encountered it while Moen wasn't around? What if the "Anima" magic landed directly on "Magnoria"?

Although it was unlikely to be such a coincidence, Makarov didn't want to gamble; he wanted to find a way to get rid of this big problem as soon as possible.

“Mistgang left behind all his research findings. Grandpa, why don’t you gather the magic masters together to brainstorm and see if you can develop a magic that can safely transport you to another world?”

Moen flipped through the notes in his hand and asked Makarov, "These are research notes compiled by Mystergan, and they are all about 'Anima' and 'spatial teleportation magic'."

"That's one way, it might work, but... is it really a good idea?"

Makarov looked serious; he was considering more things.

"Hmm, I forgot to ask about Mistgang."

Moen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on.

Grandpa Makarov meant, what if we actually discover something?
Once this information is released and everyone is mobilized to help, the research results will naturally be made public. Since everyone has participated and contributed, everyone should share in the results.

This means that everyone will have the means to teleport to another world, which is definitely not a good thing for Mystogan's hometown; it's like standing naked in the street.

"If you ask him, he would probably support doing so, since the child is now focused on atoning for his sins, sins that are not his own."

Makarov shook his head. When Mistgan handed the research notebook to Moen, he had already expressed his idea: conduct research at will, with the primary goal of solving the problem of "Anima".

Everything Mystogan is doing now is to solve this problem. Exposing the world of Edolas to the magic masters of Eslanden will indeed bring unknown dangers to Edolas, but the Edolas people made the first move, and bearing the consequences is the price to pay.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if anyone can be teleported there, since there's no magic to use in that world."

Moen smiled. Thinking about it this way, even if everyone mastered the method to go to another world, the threat to that world wouldn't be that great.

Even the most powerful mage is helpless when faced with Edolas, who has no magic.

This leads to another important question: how can one use magic and maintain combat power in that world?

This is important to other mages. Even a great mage like Grandpa Makarov would become very weak once his magic power was exhausted. Most mages may seem to have strong close combat abilities, but that is actually due to their magic power.

There are very few mages like Moen who still possess a strong physique even without the support of magic.

There are quite a few mages like this in "Fairy Tail". Under Moen's tutelage, everyone's physical training has not been relaxed. Even without magic power, they are not to be underestimated.

The only problem is that there are still people in that world who can use magic.

"If we don't find a way to continue using magic, then once we get to Edolas, we'll have to fight magic with our flesh and blood."

Moen spoke calmly, as if it were not a problem at all.

"This is definitely not a problem that can be easily solved."

Makarov scratched his head and sighed.

In the end, Makarov decided to ask everyone for help.

The most pressing issue right now is resolving the "Anima" problem. To solve this, they might even need to form a magical alliance to infiltrate the "Edras" world and storm the "Edras Kingdom." There's no need to worry about anything else for the time being.

Although he didn't want to harm the innocent people of Edras, Makarov was able to distinguish between priorities and personal relationships.

It was Edolas who struck first, and they were the ones who hurt Eslandon first. So it's only natural that Eslandon is retaliating now, and there's nothing wrong with that.

However, when solving problems, they will not harm the innocent. They will look for the culprits. The other party has no bottom line, but they do. The main reason is that those ordinary people are indeed innocent, and they have not enjoyed the magic brought by "Anima".

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. It's all the fault of the "King of the Kingdom of Edolas," and their target is that king.

Once the "Anima" problem is resolved, any other problems that arise will be addressed later.

Makarov would not allow the people of Edolas to harm the world of Eslandon, nor would he allow the people of Eslandon to commit evil deeds there, since that was Mystergan's home, and this was actually the most important reason.

Moen gave the research data to Grandpa Makarov. There wasn't much he could do to help with the research, so he decided to let the old folks do it.

Moen also has something he needs to do quickly: find a place to start planting roses and convert the [Royal Magic Palace Roses] into real combat power as soon as possible.

If we go to Edolas and can't solve the problem of not being able to use magic, then besides fists and feet, the Royal Magic Palace Rose can also be a surefire way to defeat enemies.

Even without magic, relying on throwing techniques, the Royal Magic Palace Rose can still be effective through brute force and skill.

"Actually, I may not necessarily be unable to use magic, but it's better to be prepared."

Moen has never liked to rely on the unknown for victory or defeat. If he can prepare in advance, he should do more and prepare more trump cards in order to deal with different situations.

Finding a place to plant [Royal Magic Palace Roses] is easy. There are many open spaces in the forest. Just find a spot, clear it up, and you can turn it into a "rose field" specifically for planting roses.

As for "theft prevention," there's no need to worry about that. Most people who dare to enter the "rose field" will soon be poisoned by inhaling pollen. The real concern is how to prevent people from accidentally wandering in.

“As expected, we still need the Crystal Walls for protection.” With a casual gesture, four “Crystal Walls” formed a rectangle, enclosing the “Rose Field” area he had selected.

Generally, few people venture deep into this forest, as it can be quite dangerous. However, there's always the risk of someone with nothing better to do. Moreover, the poison of the Royal Magic Palace Rose also affects animals. If it's not sealed off, Moen fears that every time he comes to see the roses, there will be a pile of corpses in the fields.

After choosing a location, Moen began preparing for the cleanup. First, he had to remove all the trees, bushes, and weeds, and then turn over the soil. Of course, he didn't have to do these tasks himself; he simply posted the task in the guild, and plenty of people would come and do them.

Fairy Tail is becoming increasingly famous and large in scale. After all, the entry threshold is not high, and there are many new members in the guild. They are usually responsible for handling simple tasks in Magnolia and the surrounding area.

This can be considered a clear division of labor. High-paying and difficult tasks are all done by the strong members of the guild, while low-paying and easy tasks are done by newcomers and weaker mages. The strong members don't care about these tasks because they are tedious and have low pay. Doing ten of them might not be as good as running a field mission.

The rapid development of "Magnolia" has provided many opportunities for a large number of newcomers and junior mages, which is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Otherwise, with the expansion of Fairy Tail to this extent, Magnolia would definitely not have been able to provide enough requests in the past.

Moen posted a request to the guild to find someone to help, not because he was too lazy to do it himself, but because he wanted to give newcomers a chance. The price he offered was quite generous, and completing this job would help alleviate the financial pressure on the new mages.

"Elfman, you don't need to help."

Watching Elfman uproot a tree in the "rose field," Moen shook his head helplessly. He hadn't bothered his friends, but he happened to run into Elfman when he was issuing the mission, and the guy insisted on coming over to help with the work.

"It's my duty to help Moen."

Elfman, carrying the tree, grinned and answered.

Moeng saved him, as well as his sister Lisanna, and actually his sister Mirajane. Elfman understood that under those circumstances, if Moeng hadn't come, Mirajane would have been in danger as well, and the source of that danger was him, the "Beast King."

Elfman was genuinely grateful to Moen; without Moen, their family would have truly fallen apart.

He took them in, taught them magic, helped his sister resolve her inner conflict, lent them money to build a house, ate breakfast with them every day, guided their cultivation, and now even saved their family's lives. In Elfman's heart, who values ​​family, Moen was already their family, more special than his other guildmates.

Having lost both his parents at a young age and raised under the care of his older sister, Mirajane was like a mother to Elfman, while Moen was like a father to him.

It's fair to say that Elfman is now truly willing to go through fire and water for Moen, even if it means losing his life, he would have no complaints. Moen saved his life.

"This boy"

Seeing Elfman huffing and puffing as he competed with the hired newcomers for work, Moen could only shake his head and smile. He probably knew what Elfman was thinking, so he didn't stop the silly kid. It was time to give him a chance to prove himself.

"Brother Moen, I'm here to help too!"

A moment later, Lisanna ran over, followed by Mirajane, who was carrying several lunch boxes.

"Lisanna, Mira, you don't need to come. I've hired a lot of new companions to help."

Seeing the two sisters, Moen looked somewhat helpless. On the way here, Elfman had gone home to inform Mira and Lisanna, which is why the two sisters came looking for him.

"That won't do! We have to help too."

Lisanna shook her head vigorously, clearly disagreeing with Moen's statement.

"Actually, Moen doesn't need to hire anyone; he can just ask us to help."

Lisanna spoke with a smile, striking a strong pose.

Moen looked at Lisanna with some relief. According to the mission description, Lisanna should have been in the most dangerous situation during the mission, but in the end, she was the least affected by the incident. Did this mean that he had completed the mission very well?
Lisanna picked up her tools and joined the work, working alongside Elfman and the other guild newbies. For these mages, the workload wasn't heavy, and they could finish it all in no time.

"I made a lot of snacks, and I can share some with everyone."

Mirajane didn't pick up any tools to help; instead, she sat down next to Moen and placed a few lunchboxes on the grass.

Looking at Mira Jane's smiling face, Moen felt a little uncomfortable. Mira was too quiet and peaceful, which didn't quite match her usual violent and rebellious persona.

Of course, Mila's personality has actually been becoming more peaceful in recent years, and she is much more peaceful than when she first arrived.

The environment of Fairy Tail changed her, making her less wary of everything. It was truly not easy for her to raise her younger siblings on her own.

But this time, the sudden change was a bit too big, which worried Moen. A sudden change in personality is no small matter.

"I've figured out a lot of things."

Mira spoke, her gaze fixed on Lisanna and Elfman, a faint smile playing on her lips. Only then did Moen notice that Mira wasn't wearing her hair in a ponytail today; instead, she had it down, with only the hair in front of her forehead pinned up.

With her new hairstyle, Mila has a more "good wife and mother" vibe, more like her usual self when cooking in the kitchen.

"What have you figured out?"

Moen chimed in, helping Mira get started. He could tell that Mira had a desire to confide in him, which was a good thing. It seemed that Mira's situation wasn't as bad as it seemed.

"I've figured things out for myself. I'm not that great, and there's no need for me to try to be strong. That might just hurt others."

Mira spoke slowly, a look of relief on her face.

"No, Mira, you're already amazing. Not everyone can keep up with Erza, and not everyone can compete with her."

Upon hearing Mira's words, Moen immediately offered words of comfort. Mira's words sounded somewhat self-deprecating, and it was no surprise that this incident had indeed affected her.

"Don't worry, Moen, I'm not giving up. I've just come to terms with myself. I will do my best to become stronger, but I won't be stubborn or push myself anymore."

Seeing Moen nervously trying to persuade her, Mira smiled and shook her head, explaining her meaning.
