Hope touched his nose guiltily, stepped forward and opened the building's door. "Anyway, Chairman, you'll understand once you go inside and take a look."

Makarov entered Diablos with a skeptical attitude. Upon entering the hall, he saw overturned bottles, chairs and tables askew, broken floorboards, a jeering crowd, and a pink-haired boy wrestling with some exhibitionist...

This scene is all too familiar.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd returned to Fairy Tail.

But soon, Makarov's gaze was drawn to a slender figure sitting quietly behind the counter. The gray-haired youth's appearance gradually overlapped with that of a long-deceased companion in his memory.

"Rhys?!"

Hearing someone call his name, Reese turned around and immediately saw a short old man staring at him with wide eyes.

Despite being a stranger, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. Rhys didn't know why, but he subconsciously uttered a name.

“Makarov…”

Chapter 305 Reis

"It's me, it's me!"

Makarov's voice trembled slightly with excitement as he rushed to the counter. "Reis, you...you weren't already—"

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

More than fifty years is enough time for a child to grow into a young adult, and also enough time for a young adult to enter old age.

Makarov has transformed from a young man who used to dream of adventures with his companions into a gray-haired old man.

Reis, however, still looks like he did more than forty years ago.

“You…” Looking at the unfamiliar expression on Reis’s face, Makarov took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and turned to look at Hope, “What exactly is going on?”

Hope stopped keeping him in suspense and told him everything.

A day earlier, after learning that Reese was connected to Fairy Tail, he and his companions, led by the four members of Kirin, arrived at the headquarters of Diablos.

With Qilin as guarantor, and having been unable to contact Chairman George Lysen for over a week...

As the saying goes, if one's fate is unknown, then one is dead.

Thus, the few remaining members of Diablos chose to switch sides without any qualms.

Of course, there were a couple of tough nuts to crack, but Hope persuaded them with reason and emotion, and they tearfully admitted to Fairy Tail.

After all, physics is also a "principle".

With Natsu's help to liven up the atmosphere, the Dragon Eaters quickly became friends with everyone, and their relationships improved considerably.

Upon meeting Reis, codenamed "Spirit Dragon," Hope discovered that, as Qilin had said, Reis had indeed lost his past memories, or rather, his memories from his previous life.

Reis's magic, "Dragon Soul," is unique. This dragon-slaying magic not only allows him, who has become a ghost, to come into contact with physical objects, but also enables him to use magic on humans.

It's important to know that ghosts generally can't use magic. Even Mavis on Sirius Island needed the island's help to do so.

Faced with Reese in his ghost form, Hope's various mind-reading abilities were completely ineffective, and he had no way of helping Reese regain his memories.

Fortunately, there is an elderly person in the family.

Makarov had dedicated his entire life to Fairy Tail, and Hope felt he must know Reese's past, so she simply lured him over.

After hearing the whole story, Makarov's eyes became complicated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He never expected that his companion had been wandering on another continent for decades.

But he had no way to restore his memories.

Although Precito had taught him magic with similar functions, he found it too troublesome and didn't learn it...

Hope smiled. "President, Senior Reis's magic allows him to possess a human body. As long as the synchronization rate is high enough, he can enter the target's consciousness and view their memories."

Makarov understood; the plan was to let Reis enter his memories, so that he could recall the past and remember who he really was.

"Then let's do it this way."

Makarov didn't hesitate at all. "Reis, I hope that when I open my eyes, you won't look at me with unfamiliar eyes anymore."

Reis joined Diablos in order to find his past and the person who killed him. Now that someone has appeared who knows about his past, he will not let this opportunity pass even if Makarov disagrees.

Dragon Soul activated.

A faint white light rose from Reis's body, and the entire ghost possessed Makarov. The next second, a scene appeared before his eyes.

In the bustling guild hall, two people hurriedly carried a companion who had been seriously injured by a monster attack while on a mission onto a stretcher and rushed into the main hall.

"Something's wrong! There are injured people!"

"Polyusica, please, save him!"

The pink-haired woman immediately knelt down to check the other person's injuries.

The wounded soldier, covered in blood, seemed to sense something. "Am I... beyond saving...?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely be saved!"

The man named Makarov encouraged him with a determined look, then looked at the pink-haired woman and said, "You agree, right, Polyusica?"

The pink-haired woman said nothing; the sadness in her eyes spoke volumes.

It's too late to turn the tide.

The wounded soldier looked at Makarov in confusion, "Why...why fight so hard...are we really that close...?"

"It has nothing to do with this!"

Makarov exclaimed, "Aren't we all Fairy Tail comrades? We're family!"

"That makes sense..." The wounded man suddenly realized, forcing a smile, but his vision grew increasingly blurry, and he heard many sobbing sounds around him.

Gradually, the wounded lost all sensation.

He heard Makarov's last words clearly.

"Don't die! Rhys!"

But he still died, forgetting even his important companions...

It turns out I used to be a mage from Fairy Tail...

Dejected, Reis deactivated the "Dragon Soul," looked at Makarov in front of him—a man drastically different from the one in his memory—and gave him the same smile he had before his death.

"It's so good to see you again."

Upon seeing Reis regain his memory, Makarov's eyes instantly reddened, and he could no longer hold back, wanting to give a hug to the compatriot he had failed to save.

And then... I didn't hug him.

After all, Reiss is a ghost; he can contact Makarov through the "Dragon Soul," but Makarov doesn't have that ability.

The touching atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat awkward.

Hope coughed lightly. "Guild Master, there's an alchemy guild in Giltina that can create human bodies. I plan to ask the alchemy guild to rebuild Senior Reis's body after the Hundred-Year Quest ends, and then put his soul back in..."

Reis looked surprised: Is this even possible?

Makarov nodded, agreeing with Hope's suggestion, since that's how Mavis was "resurrected." The only thing to be careful about was whether the alchemy guild could actually create a complete human body.

Who wants to die when they can live, especially an unlucky guy like Reis who died so young? So after hesitating for a while, he agreed.

With Joger Lysen gone, Reiss is the most senior member of the Dragon Eater Guild, and he has basically watched the younger generation, such as Kirin, grow up.

Now that Diablos has regained his memories, it's perfectly reasonable for him to turn "Diablos" into a Fairy Tail branch.

Reiss intends to let the spirit of Fairy Tail take root and flourish on the continent of Giltina.

Chapter 306 How Can Someone Like You Be Changed?

With Rhys regaining his memories, the Dragon Eaters were able to completely let go of their last remaining reservations.

They had all been taken care of by Reiss, and compared to Jorg Lysen, who was forced to be in awe of his immense power, the gentle Reiss was undoubtedly more respected by the Dragon Eaters.

Now that Reese has spoken up, what else do they have to care about? It's not that "Diabolos" is bad, it's just that adding "Fairy Tail" would open up more possibilities.

Most importantly, Fairy Tail is not only powerful, but also has a great guild atmosphere. There is no hierarchy based on strength; everyone is a family.

This is much better than the cold, impersonal "Diabolos".

Kirin stepped forward and bowed slightly to Makarov. "Guild Master Makarov, since Uncle Reese is a member of your guild, we have nothing more to say. From now on, this is Fairy Tail's branch. Please feel free to ask if you need any help."

"Good lad, that's straightforward!" Makarov nodded in satisfaction. The strongest mage guild in the Northern Continent had become one of their own, and the old man was overjoyed.

Hope watched as two groups of people who were once strangers now stood together happily. This was Fairy Tail; no matter where it went, it could connect people's hearts.

"In that case, why don't we have a celebration party?"

He proposed, "Let's celebrate Reese regaining his memories, and also celebrate Diablos joining our Fairy Tail family."

“Great idea!” Natsu was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Happy did a somersault in the air, "Hey, we want to eat fish too!"

Seeing how enthusiastic the man and cat were, Hope lowered her voice and asked Reiss curiously, "By the way, do you still have dragon meat?"

“It was already eaten by George Lysen.” Reis shook his head slightly. “Why do you think he went to hunt the Sword Saint Dragon himself? It’s not just that the Sword Saint Dragon’s abilities are suitable for Little Vermilion Bird, but more so that the guy wants to eat dragon meat. He’s addicted to dragon meat.”

The dragon devourers, including Qilin, had never participated in a banquet before, so they were very attentive, even bringing out cases of George Lysen's treasured wine.

As everyone was preparing for the banquet, suddenly—

The guild's main door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A tall figure stood at the doorway, his face obscured by the backlight, but his imposing presence instantly put everyone on alert.

"Hmph, this is quite a spectacle."

The man walked in slowly, revealing a rugged face. His angry eyes swept over everyone in the hall before finally settling on the Qilin.

"Qilin, while I was away, you guys certainly knew how to find your next employer."

Qilin's expression changed, "Lord Qiaoge..."

Jorg Lysen, the chairman of Diablos, the man Hope had thrown away somewhere, has returned at this time.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Natsu clenched his fists instinctively, flames flickering around his body. He just couldn't bring himself to like this guy who killed dragons without distinguishing between good and evil.
