Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

To everyone's surprise, the moment Igor knocked on the cabin door, the door opened by itself, revealing an old man with his back to the stench in the dimly lit room.

Chapter 18 A Visit to Warold Sinken, One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgard!

"you are……"

When Ig saw the old man who looked almost exactly like the one in his memory, he knew he had come to the right place. He went into the hut and intended to greet the old man.

"Shh."

Before Igor could speak, the old man turned his head first, gestured for Igor to be quiet, and said coldly, "Keep your voice down, you uninvited brats! You're disturbing my flowers and trees! The flowers in my house like quiet..."

"..."

Igor looked at the stern-faced old man, who remained calm and showed no superfluous expression.

"Uh."

However, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, who were originally standing behind Igor, were frightened by the coldness that the old man unintentionally released.

"Buzz!"

Just as Mirajane and the others were at a loss, the originally dark little house suddenly became bright, revealing the old man's head, which looked like a broccoli floret.

Before the stench could even fully dissipate, the flowers in the room instantly bloomed, filling the air with their intoxicating fragrance around Igor, Mirajane, and the others. The previously serious-looking old man suddenly grinned and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, I was just joking! Did I scare you all?!"

"Actually, the flowers love liveliness the most! I am so happy today, after all, my little house has not had any outsiders for more than ten years."

The old man grinned and began talking to himself.

"What an annoying old man."

Mirajane gave her honest assessment.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Warlord Sinken, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar?"

Igor asked the other party with a calm expression. He already knew Warlord's personality and naturally wouldn't get angry.

"Indeed, I am Warrod Sinken, one of the 'Ten Wizards'."

Warlord Sinken nodded vigorously, then laughed and said, "I was just kidding!"

"Huh?"

Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman's expressions flashed with surprise. If the person in front of them wasn't Warlord Sinken, didn't that mean they had been working for nothing for the past two weeks?!

"Haha, the joke just now was actually a joke."

Just as the Mirajane sisters were in shock, Warlord Sinken said with a smile.

"You're so annoying."

Mirajane was truly speechless.

Honestly, she simply couldn't believe that this utterly wicked old man was actually one of the four mages standing at the pinnacle of the continent of Ishgar.

"Uh."

However, when Mirajane remembered that Gildarts, who was known as the 'strongest' mage on the continent of Ishgard, was not a decent person either, she immediately understood.

"hehe."

Igor gave a somewhat helpless smile in response.

The seven strongest mages on the continent of Ishgard don't seem to be normal people at all.

Gildarts... the scum king.

'God' Serena...chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Hyberion... vampire.

Ulfheim... a grumpy old man.

Warlord Sinken... a lovable old man who thinks he's funny.

Prehito...the magical monster.

Mardo Gil...a severe case of delusional disorder.

Hmm, it seems like there isn't a single normal person among them.

Some of them might not even be human.

Therefore, it is essential to dispel the enchantment from these Heavenly King-level mages who have entered the 'inhuman realm'.

Strong is never the same as normal.

"So what brings you youngsters from so far away to visit this old man?"

Warlord Sinken said to himself, “Ah, I’m a little thirsty,” and then, in front of the fishy-smelling fish, he took a big gulp of water.

"Igor, are we sure we haven't picked the wrong person?"

Mirajane opened her mouth slightly, then quietly moved closer to Igor and asked in a low voice.

"That's right."

“Miraje, don’t underestimate this old man. He is one of the most outstanding mages on the continent of Ishgard, ranked fourth among the Ten Wizard Saints, and known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgard.”

Igor explains Warlord's identity to Mirajane.

"Is...is that so?"

"Is he really that powerful?"

As Mirajane spoke, a filter of 'strength' flashed in her eyes, and she turned to look at Warlord Sinken.

Then, Mirajane saw Warlord Sinken still gulping down water from the pitcher, and instantly the filter shattered!

"As expected, I still can't equate this old man with the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar."

Seeing this, Mirajane weakly raised her hand to her forehead and couldn't help but complain.

“Senior Warlord, please take a look at this…”

With a smile, Igor carefully took out the "Elementary Magic and Magic Particle Refining Method" that he had previously prepared from his backpack and handed it to Warlord to read.

"Ok?"

"What is this?"

Volod opened the "Extraction Method" that Ig had given him. After all, he was a great mage who had been immersed in the magic path for hundreds of years, and he quickly became engrossed in it.

About an hour later, Warlord muttered to himself, "Amazing, truly amazing! This is an absolutely brilliant idea!"

Hehe~

"If everyone in this world could be manually and efficiently extract and absorb magical particles from the atmosphere at all times, then everyone could become a magical genius."

Warrod immediately recognized the value of the "Extraction Method".

Although some parts of the "Extraction Method" are still very rough, the underlying ideas are invaluable.

"Senior Warlord, the reason we have come to visit you is that we hope you can help us improve this 'Magic Extraction Method'."

"I know that this 'Magic Refining Method' is still very rough, but with our accumulated 'magic skills,' we can no longer perfect it."

After listening to all of Warlord's praise for the "Magic Refining Method" provided by the system, Igor chuckled and explained his purpose.

"Oh?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll secretly learn your 'Extraction Method'?"

Warrod put down the "Extraction Method" and asked Igor.

"Since I voluntarily handed over this 'Extraction Method' to my senior, and I actively asked my senior to help me improve this 'Extraction Method,' then I am naturally not afraid that my senior will learn it."

Igor laughed; of course he wasn't afraid that Warold would learn the "Extraction Method."

Given Volod's level of expertise, even without this "Refinement Method," he could still efficiently absorb "magical particles" from the atmosphere at any time, right?

"hehe."

"Since you trust me, you may stay at my place for now."

"I will do my best to help you perfect this 'Extraction Method'."

Warrod smiled at Iger and granted his request.

"old…"

Upon learning that they would be staying at Warlord's cabin, Mirajane protested with slight dissatisfaction, "I mean, Senior Warlord, your house is too small. I'm afraid there won't be enough room for so many of us."

"Oh? How big of a room would you like to stay in, little girl?"

Warrod smiled at Mirajane and asked.

"At the very least, everyone should have a rest room, a training room, and a toilet, right?"

Mirajane the Lion spoke up.

"To satisfy you~"

Warlord smiled slightly, tapped his cane lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the small two-story building immediately began to expand in all directions, transforming in the blink of an eye into a huge 'tree fortress' covering an area of ​​more than one hectare.

"what?"

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisana were all stunned and stood there in disbelief, saying, "Master, isn't the amount of magic power in your body a bit too exaggerated?"

After all, he was a man who single-handedly prevented the desertification of the mainland, so his magic was naturally immense.

As for Igor, he was somewhat envious: "So, the standard skill for wood-type ability users is the 'three rooms and one hall' technique, right?"

"Do not."

“This specification can no longer be called the ‘three-room, one-living-room’ technique; it should be called the ‘castle’ construction technique.”

Igor pondered silently.

Chapter 19 Mirajane: Igor, let's have a go!

"Uh."

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna stared wide-eyed as Warlord transformed their two-story house into a giant 'tree fortress' with a wave of his hand, their little hearts filled with immense shock.

At this moment, the Mirajane sisters gained a completely new understanding of magic.

"Magic is amazing, isn't it?"

Igor stood behind the Mirajane sisters and spoke softly.

"Amazing."

"So magic can be used like this..."

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with astonishment.

It turns out that 'magic' can be used not only in battle and destruction, but also in everyday life.

"Alright, the rooms you requested have been improved!"

"In that case, you may stay here until I improve this book, 'The Method of Refining Magic Particles and Magic Barrier Particles'."

Warrod Sinken smiled at Mirajane, Igor, and the others. He handed Igor the copy of "The Extraction Method" that Igor had given him and turned to leave.

Although Volod, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, is a senior figure who has already touched upon the inhuman realm in his exploration of the "path of magic," and whose magical cultivation is unfathomable...

Even so, he still needs to calm his mind and focus when he improves the "Magic Refining Method," an advanced magic cultivation technique.

After Warlord turned and left, he left behind four 'kids': Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, and Igor.

"Next up is castle exploration time."

After seeing Warlord leave, Lisanna immediately waved her little fists and said excitedly.

"Oh!"

As the older brother, Elfman still dotes on his younger sister Lisanna, and he always supports her no matter what she wants to do.

"Sister Mira, Brother Igor."

After Lisanna successfully persuaded her brother Elfman, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, pleading, and blinked her big, watery eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, at Mirajane and Igor with a hint of expectation in her expression.
