Arceus’ Pirate Journey

"Young Miss, are you sure there's no problem?"

"Of course, there's no problem! Look at that tree. Wasn't it there when I brought you here? The crown of that tree is clearly made from the same mold!"

Both of them spoke with a hint of hesitation, but the reasons for their hesitation were completely different. Judging from the surrounding environment, the location was definitely not a problem. This was still the island they had left.

However, when they left, this place had been completely ravaged by war. The island's vegetation had long been destroyed by flames and explosions.

Now, the trees here were lush and leafy, showing no signs of any battle. This was definitely not the day they left.

Recalling what Celebi had said at the banquet, Irene was certain that Yamato was experiencing some kind of problem; she just hadn't admitted it yet.

The "yesterday" banquet allowed Irene to experience a long-lost sense of "humanity", and even made Irene feel like Belserion was still alive. The sea didn't have dragons like here, but it had more magical creatures.

The society of Pokémon and humans had long been integrated. In Onigashima's values, this was just a new race in life.

As a visitor from the magical world, besides the people there, there were also Pokémon interested in magic. For example, Tinkaton was very interested in Irene's hardening enchantment.

Irene's hardening enchantment could make ordinary wood as tough as metal, and could also change the hardness of metal. This ability, in the eyes of the Tinkaton tribe, was like a flavor regulator, able to turn metal blocks in their hands into cookies-flavored cakes or cake-flavored cookies.

This was just one example. Besides ordinary Pokémon, there were also more intelligent Pokémon individuals like Celebi who would chat with Irene. Coupled with the locals of Onigashima, Irene had gained some understanding of her young miss.

"Excuse me, do you know what year it is?"

Compared to the previous deep mountains and old forests, at least living people could be seen here. This continent also had a fixed method of reckoning years. With just one answer, Irene could know how much the error was this time.

"X686."

"Seven years... Young Miss, you were indeed much more accurate this time. At least it wasn't as far off as last time."

"Ahem, this is called practice makes perfect. A few more times and I'll be able to master this thing. I'll prove it to you next time, believe it or not!"

"Of course, I believe you. Time-space magic is inherently difficult. Being able to master it after practicing a few more times is already a gift."

Irene didn't choose to argue with Yamato about the outcome of this matter. Anyway, she had nothing to worry about in this world. Even if it was off by a thousand years, Irene wouldn't care.

Moreover, Irene had also figured out one thing: although this young miss's age was unknown, her way of dealing with people and her personality were still close to that of a child who hadn't grown up. It was more appropriate to get along with her in a child-like manner.

She only saw one rather peculiar person on the entire Onigashima, who insisted on teasing Yamato to the point where she couldn't help but take action, and then obediently admitted defeat under the threat of the spiked club.

Yes, Queen was still going further and further down his own path of seeking death. Perhaps realizing that he definitely couldn't die, Queen's courage had grown in a sense.

"Which is the largest magic guild nearby? Do you know?"

Yesterday, or rather, seven years ago, the plan was to establish a new magic guild, but the seven-year gap was too long. If nothing unexpected happened, this place must have become the territory of other magic guilds.

The previous plan would probably have to be rearranged, such as going to smash a place or something.

The few of them exchanged glances and said a few names that Irene didn't know, but the name Blue Skull didn't appear.

The predecessor of this Phantom Lord would have originally become the local tyrant here after destroying Red Lizard, but now it had become ignored. This was the cruelty of this era. There were countless magic guilds that were destroyed, and no one cared about these losers.

"Speaking of which, this island is already considered deserted, right? What are you five doing here?"

Compared to the information Irene was searching for, Yamato was more curious as to why these people were on this island.

Three men and two women, a total of five people, or rather, four people. One of them did not belong to humans in Yamato's eyes, and did not even belong to living things. Even the aura of the dead souls on Ghost-type Pokémon was non-existent on the other person.

"Looking for treasure, and traces of fairies."

Mavis Vermillion, Precht Gaebolg, Warrod Sequen, Yuri Dreyar, and Zera, these were the identities of the few people on the beach, the original founders of the future guild Fairy Tail.

Mavis was a survivor of the previous war between Blue Skull and Red Lizard, and had been living on the island for the past few years.

Zera was the daughter of the Red Lizard guild master. In fact, she had died on the day of the war. The "alive" her now was essentially just an illusion born from Mavis's illusion magic.

The remaining three belonged to the treasure hunter guild and came here just to find Tenrou Jade.

Yuri didn't think it was good for Mavis to say the answer directly, but what puzzled Yuri even more was that Yamato said there were five people. Although Mavis had been introducing Zera as a person, Yuri and the others couldn't see Zera at all.

The fact that Yamato could say the number five was what puzzled them. Not to mention that Yuri and the others hadn't mastered magic yet, even Irene initially thought there were only four people. After Yamato said five, she vaguely felt a magical fluctuation nearby.

Mavis's illusion magic was innate. Zera was a partner she created unconsciously. Even Mavis herself didn't realize that Zera was just an illusion. Under the circumstances that the caster didn't think it was an illusion, others naturally couldn't see the illusion's entity.

In a sense, Mavis wasn't wrong. Compared to treasures that sounded like they had real value, the word fairy interested Yamato more.

"Irene, are there still fairies in this world? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Young Miss, fairies... I haven't seen them, and we didn't come to find fairies. Compared to fairies, I think I've found a suitable member. Little girl, who did you learn your magic from?"

Talent is important in every profession, and this is especially true for extraordinary powers like magic. Some people are born with the seeds of magic in their bodies. People like this can go further with a little study and exercise.

Mavis was young, but the fluctuations of magic power in her body and that illusory shadow made Irene realize the other party's talent.

For a guild, mages are undoubtedly the most important, and it is also essential to discover talented newcomers. In a sense, this can be considered someone delivering themselves to our door.
