Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

Yefried was right.

If they really mess with Natsu and the others, and a fight breaks out, this town, which isn't even half the size of Magnolia, will be completely destroyed!

At that point, unless her father is brought in, they simply won't be able to afford the compensation!

"..." Gray paused for a moment, then decisively said, "Go to sleep!"

"Go to sleep," Erza said, looking at Yefrit.

“Hmm.” Yefrit understood Erza’s words—don’t provoke her, but stay vigilant.

Ah Hanita Family Estate.

At the very front of the hall, as if attending a court session, everyone stood in rows on both sides of the red carpet, heads bowed, with different expressions, but most of them looked fearful.

At the end of the red carpet sat an elderly man in a wheelchair, his face looking very unwell.

This old man is John Ahanitta, the patriarch of the Ahanitta family and the town mayor.

"Master!" Suddenly, an old man knelt down and begged John for mercy, "The ledgers and documents were stolen, but it wasn't my fault! The other party was extremely powerful; it was the mages who failed to protect them!"

“They have their reasons for their incompetence,” John said coldly, “but you are also unforgivable. Drag you away and feed you to the dogs!”

"Master, spare my life!"

The old man was dragged away, and even outside the door, his cries for help could still be heard.

"Luckily, the city is under lockdown, that little thief can't escape!" John said viciously. "Once we catch him, I'll tear him to pieces!"

“Grandpa,” a young man stepped forward and guessed, “Could it be that old man Edward’s doing? You’re about to step down, and he’ll be taking over. That old man is cunning and afraid he won’t be able to control Ahhanita Town, so he wants to bring us down first?”

“Very likely,” John said in a deep voice.

"Frank, how long until the blood transfusion immortality experiment is completed?" John looked at a middle-aged, balding man in a white lab coat who looked like he frequently conducted experiments.

Frank said hesitantly, "Mr. John, it may take some more time."

“How long!” John roared.

"It might take another twenty days."

"Look, do you even have twenty days left?!" John said angrily. "I'll give you one week!"

“Mr. John, a week, a week really won’t do!” Frank said hurriedly.

“Get out!” John yelled.

When they woke up in the morning, they found that the outside was under strict control, the streets were very deserted, shops were closed, and tourists did not go out.

It seems that a whole night has passed, and the thief still hasn't been caught.

The once bustling commercial street is now eerily deserted.

People hid inside houses, crouched under windows, and only showed their eyes and above, quietly observing the situation outside.

'Boom dong dong'

Every now and then, patrolling soldiers would run around nervously to take over their shifts.

“A barrier.” Erza looked at the sky.

Now, not only is the city sealed off, but a huge barrier has also descended like a curtain, completely blocking all access to and from Ahhanita Town.

Maintaining such a barrier requires a huge amount of money.

So, a thief steals money? Who would believe that?

"It seems the thing that thief stole was quite extraordinary," Gray said.

“Yefrit, why don’t you go out and take a look?” Erza asked.

“Okay.” Yefrit had just nodded when she felt her pocket vibrate.

He pulled out a card—the same card he had given to Izayoi, and the other one—containing a communication crystal.

Yefrit flicked her finger, and the card transformed into a communication crystal, successfully establishing a connection.

But the person opposite wasn't a dove.

“Ryder?” Yevlit looked at the little boy in the picture.

"Brother Yefrit!" Ryder saw Yefrit and immediately wiped away his tears and snot, holding back his sobs as he said, "Please save us!"

"What happened?" Yefried asked.

"us."

"Run! Brother Ryder, they're coming again!"

Just as Ryder was about to speak, he was interrupted by another child.

"Ryder, are you there?" Yefrit asked hurriedly, but the communication crystal had already been disconnected.

"Did something happen to those children?!" Erza asked hurriedly.

On the way here, Yefried had already told us about the situation here—the differences between East Town and West Town, and about Ryder and the others.

Erza and the others also decided to visit Ryder and his group later, and would lend a hand if they needed any help.

But I didn't expect to receive news of their accident beforehand.

“That’s right.” Yevlite nodded.

“Let’s go check it out!” Erza said immediately.

Everyone in Fairy Tail is kind; they wouldn't stand idly by when they see many children facing danger.

“I’ll go take a look first. It’s not a good time to cause trouble. My magic can detect things secretly,” Yefrit said.

“Okay.” Erza nodded.

Yefried set off immediately.

The defense line between East Town and West Town was already very strong.

Now the defenses are even more stringent, with all the soldiers wearing gleaming silver armor and wielding sharp weapons, facing the East Town as if they were about to attack it.

Yefried strode across the border unnoticed.

The town was quiet; everyone was clearly terrified of this sudden turn of events.

Yefried paused for a moment as she walked through an alley.

There are signs of battle ahead.

There were about a dozen corpses, their deaths gruesome.

They are all mages.

And the other side of the battle.

The knife marks are enough to split houses and the ground.

Given this characteristic and the location, Yefried could only think of one person—the turtledove.

There is more than one such battlefield.

It seems the turtledove was besieged by many people and fought its way out.

Traces of battle could be found from time to time, all the way to the small courtyard that used to be full of children.

The place, along with the surrounding buildings and even half a street, was destroyed by magic.

There are also traces of battle between the spotted doves.

However, Yefriede found neither the children nor the carcass of the dove.

Situation analysis: The dove and its young encountered enemies and were separated; now both are being hunted.

However, he was unable to contact Ryder and the others through his communication crystal.

Just as he was thinking this, the communication crystal suddenly reconnected.

It seems that Ryder and his group are temporarily out of danger.

As soon as the communication crystal connected, Ryder didn't waste any words and immediately said, "Brother Yefrit, we're hiding from pursuers in the sewers of East Town. The passages here are very complicated. We can hold out for two more days. Please, come and rescue us quickly!"

Fortunately, this time their communication was not interrupted.

This gave Ryder a chance to continue speaking and explain the reason.

I see--

After Ikaruga left, Ryder and the others were captured by a group of mages. Only a little girl named Ana was lucky enough to be away from home at the time and was not captured.

Ryder and his companions were imprisoned in an underground jail.

They have to endure tremendous torment every day.

First, they were infused with magic by a strange magical device, and then their blood was drained.

It was a complete darkness; I had no idea how long I had been imprisoned.

Until the day before yesterday, the turtledove broke in and rescued everyone.

However, it was immediately besieged by many mages.

The doves protected the children and hid them in the sewers.

However, there were many pursuers, and after many battles, she was still overwhelmed, and many children were captured.

This kind of fighting won't work. The end result will definitely be that the children are caught and she dies.

Izayoi analyzed the situation: mainly because she was injured and had magical fluctuations, which is why she was being constantly tracked.

So she mustered her courage, handed over the communication crystal that she had never intended to use in her life to Ryder, and then went to distract the pursuers.

Chapter 82, The Dove: If there is an afterlife, I want to be a maid at Mr. Yefriedt's manor.

“Sister Turtledove said that you should come and save us, and she would fight back and rescue Emily and the others,” Ryder said, crying.

“Brother Yefrit, we have no prior relationship, and I have even done something wrong. We have nothing to repay you with, so I don’t know if you would be willing to take such a huge risk to save us.”

"But."

Ryder knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but at the very least, I want my younger brothers and sisters to live!"
