There was some discomfort, but I wouldn't call it hatred at all.

After all, there have been instances of dragons eating each other within the dragon race.

Moreover, since dragons can eat people, why can't people eat dragons in return? Ultimately, it's because dragons committed too many evil deeds in the past, which not only gave birth to the monster that is the black dragon, but also brought retribution upon the dragons that survived.

Besides... there aren't many good dragons that come to Giltina.

It's best to end this feud that has lasted for over 400 years.

Seeing that the Water Dragon actually said it wouldn't pursue the actions of him and his companions, and its previous boastful words, the Qilin was greatly surprised. "You really won't kill us?"

“Let bygones be bygones.” Melkkobia shook his head. “Now I just want to coexist peacefully with humans. Let them go.”

coexist......

Upon hearing those two words, the Qilin paused slightly in surprise.

He recalled what he had seen and heard after entering the town of Elmina, where the residents' respect for the water dragon seemed genuine and heartfelt.

But... can dragons and humans really coexist?

"Of course." Seeing the Qilin's puzzled expression, Hope told him about the victory between humans and dragons that took place on the continent of Ishgar more than 400 years ago.

There are evil dragons that see humans as food and playthings, but there are also dragons that are willing to give their lives to protect humans.

Nothing is absolute; everything has two sides.

Hope smiled. "It's like someone who likes young girls, but that doesn't stop him from appreciating married women..."

Qilin: "What kind of nonsensical analogy is this..."

Melkkobia chimed in, "The person you're talking about, could it be yourself?"

Hope took a deep breath and accidentally blurted out his true feelings: to maintain his noble and righteous image, he should just kill/kill the dragon to silence him.

Melkkobia and Qilin exclaimed in unison, "Do you even have a good image?!"

After a few lighthearted banter, the relationship between the Dragon Eaters and the dragons improved considerably, and Hope took the opportunity to inquire about information regarding the Dragon Eaters Guild.

Diablos has been established for over thirty years. The vast majority of its members are orphans raised by its guild leader, Jorg Lysen, since childhood. Only a small number join voluntarily for power or because of the reputation of the number one guild in Giltina.

The reason why Jorg Lysen attacked Sword Saint Dragon Culnuki was because he had found a promising talent, and Culnuki's abilities were a perfect match for that child.

However, due to Jorg Lysen's brutal nature and terrifying strength, all guild members treated him with utmost respect, not daring to even raise their voices in his presence.

Although Kirin was raised by Jogg-Layson from a young age, and Jogg-Layson even killed the Thunder Dragon King with his own hands and gave him the Thunder Dragon King's flesh and blood, Kirin still had to say that "Diabolos" was a dark guild.

These orphans who were raised were, in the end, merely tools that Jorg Lysen cultivated to hunt more dragon meat for his own consumption.

I do have feelings for the guild, but not many.

So when they learned that Chairman Joger Lysen had been beaten up by Hope and others and was in critical condition, Qilin and the other three Diablos members did not show much emotion.

"With the boss gone, does your guild have anyone else in charge?" Hope suddenly had the idea of ​​poaching someone from the guild.

Regardless of what kind of person Jorg Lysen is, he has a knack for judging people, and any child he adopts is bound to be talented.

It would be better to take this opportunity to disable Diablos and recruit talented and decent people to our guild...

Putting aside everything else, Fairy Tail is absolutely top-notch when it comes to assimilating people. Even Hope had to admit that he was influenced by it and developed a wicked sense of humor.

Otherwise, could it be that the "magnetic field force" amplifies one's true nature?

Qilin was unaware that he was being targeted. "Actually, the person in charge of the operation and handling of affairs in our guild is not the guild leader, but Uncle Leisi."

According to Qilin, Reis joined the Dragon Eater Guild in its second year of existence, supposedly to recover his lost memories.

Reis's codename is "Spirit Dragon," and he wields the dragon-slaying magic "Dragon Soul." Although he is now only a soul, he is still quite troublesome to deal with. It was Reis who sealed the soul of the Thunder Dragon King for the Kirin.

Hope frowned. It seemed that this guy named Reiss was probably one of George Leisen's confidants. With him controlling Diablos, wouldn't his plan to poach Diablos be in trouble?

I think he's already on the verge of death.

Wait, a soul? Lost memories?

Isn't that a ghost? Could that guy already be dead...? Isn't it a bit unethical to desecrate a corpse like that...?

"Well, actually, I was just about to say that."

Qilin interrupted Hope's thoughts and pointed to the guild emblem on his left forearm. "When I was little, Uncle Reis took care of me. Once, when he was bathing me, I saw that he had a tattoo on his back that was similar to yours."

"But for some reason, the pattern gradually disappeared. I asked Uncle Reese, but he couldn't remember what the pattern represented either."

"Even today, I see the same pattern on Laxus and on you..."

Upon hearing this, Hope's eyes widened in surprise.

Without a doubt, Reese is definitely connected to Fairy Tail, and there is a high probability that he was a member of the guild during his lifetime.

It's important to know that guild crests are extremely difficult to forge, and each guild's crest is unique, making it virtually impossible for two crests to be very similar.

So... the current leader of the Dragon Eater Guild "Diabolos" is one of their own?!

Wait... how come there are always people from my own side wherever I go?

Hope couldn't help but facepalm. He had thought that having one dragon brother like Natsu in the Northern Continent was the limit, but he hadn't expected there to be other experts.

Is that correct?

That's absolutely right.

If we can find a way to help Reese regain his memories, wouldn't "Diabolos" become the Fairy Tail Giltina Continent branch?

Chapter 304 Familiar Strangers

One day later.

The continent of Ishgar, Fairy Tail.

Makarov sat alone on the second-floor railing, looking sullen and intently reading the latest issue of a fashion weekly.

Although the hall was as noisy as ever, perhaps because those troublemakers were not in the guild, the old man was able to relax completely for once.

Sure enough, the days without those troublesome brats are the good days.

Gildarts suddenly popped up from the side, "Guild Master, you've been secretly looking at pictures of beautiful women again. Is that function still working?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost." Makarov's lips twitched, and he waved his hand dismissively. "I'm still as vigorous as ever, don't talk nonsense."

Gildarts shushed him. The old man was quite stubborn. His prostate rebellion was no secret in the guild, so what was there to pretend about?

"By the way, President, do you think Hope and the others can handle the century-long mission?"

Makarov, his eyes glued to the magazine, replied dismissively, "If even that kid can't be handled, then there's probably no mage in the world who can complete that century-old mission."

"Wow, the girl in this photo has really big breasts."

Gildarts, also a seasoned pervert, joined in. With his extensive experience, he immediately estimated the size and exclaimed, "Indeed, this is incredible! It must be at least H-grade, right? Is it enchanted?"

"Tch, you can't touch it anyway. What business is it of yours whether someone uses magic or not?"

"Hahaha......"

The two disrespectful old men were engrossed in watching, completely unaware that a water ring had silently unfolded behind them, and Hope's head had poked out from within it.

Hope was about to say hello, but when he saw the blank white magazine in Makarov's hand, he gave a wicked smile.

A few seconds later, Erza emerged from the "Wings of Water" passage and immediately spotted the two shady characters. She stepped forward and snatched the magazine from Makarov's hand.

"As the president, you dared to gather a group of people to browse inappropriate books in broad daylight. Confiscated!"

Erza's sudden appearance startled Makarov.

Gildarts was also completely bewildered. Was it considered a group gathering for him and the president to look at a photobook together? And where did Erza suddenly appear from? Wasn't she supposed to be in the Northern Continent?

Seeing this, Hope appeared from the spatial passage and wrapped her arms around the red-haired girl's waist from behind. "Hehe, Erza, was my report okay?"

Feeling the intimate gesture behind her, Erza's cheeks flushed slightly. She slapped Hope's groping hand away, "Be serious, the guild master and Gildarts are still here..."

"Hey, hey, hey, when you're showing off your love, at least consider the elderly. The president is old and has been single for many years, he can't handle any stimulation."

Hearing Gildarts say these words, and even put on an expression as if he was thinking of himself, Makarov was so angry that his fists hardened. If he wasn't worried about damaging the guild, he would have already given him a fist the size of a barrel.

After the little incident, Hope got down to business, "Guild Master, did our guild ever have a mage named Reis?"

Makarov was slightly taken aback, but quickly a name came to mind. He remembered the information about the guild very clearly.

"Yes, there is such a person."

Makarov sighed. "I remember it very clearly. Reis was seriously injured that day, so badly that even Poliusica couldn't help him... He was the first comrade I lost."

The grief has long passed, but the regret remains buried deep in Makarov's heart. "Reiss has been dead for over fifty years. I wasn't even the chairman back then. Why are you asking about this?"

Hope didn't explain, but instead revealed the spatial passage behind him and said with a smile, "President, would you like a surprise? If so, come with us."

"Could it be some kind of prank?" Makarov asked suspiciously.

Hope looked completely innocent; was this what he looked like now...? Fortunately, Makarov trusted Erza and didn't say anything more, then voluntarily entered the spatial passage.

Gildarts wanted to join in the fun, but Hope stopped him, since the guild needed to leave a mage behind to prevent any accidents.

......

The other end of "Wings of Water".

As Makarov stepped out of the spatial passage, a massive building came into view, with a sign outside that read "Diapoloth".

The roof of the house is piled with the skeleton of some kind of giant creature, with a hideous, huge skull at the front, giving the building an eerie and sinister feel.

"President, welcome to the Northern Continent of Giltina."

Hope followed, with Erza behind him.

Looking at the closed 'Wings of Water', Makarov finally realized that the water ring-like magic was actually an extremely rare teleportation-type spatial magic.

Easily traversing continents, this magic is far more useful than Mester's "Teleportation/Flash".

"Looks like you've snagged some good stuff on your trip, you little rascal," Makarov teased with satisfaction.

Hope shrugged and pointed to the building in front of him. "Guild Master, let me introduce you. This is the number one mage guild in the Northern Continent, 'Diabolos,' or you can call it by another name, 'Fairy Tail' Giltina Branch."

"I said stop."

Makarov made a pause gesture, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What do you mean by Fairy Tail Giltina Branch? Our guild doesn't usually have branches. Did you steal this guild, kid?"

"Hey..."
