Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Sunlight filters through the gaps, casting dappled patterns of light. The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. Cute and friendly animals come and go, and occasionally, you can hear the distant chirping of birds.

This is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

As Hope strolled through the woods, he came to the depths of the forest, where a wooden cabin built under a towering tree suddenly appeared before him. The cabin blended seamlessly with the tree, and vines naturally draped over the wooden door, which was printed with symmetrical patterns.

To Hope's surprise, other people besides him came to visit Grandma Poliusica.

Standing in front of the cabin was a person who was completely wrapped in a black robe. He even covered his hair with a black headscarf, which was tied with a headband. He had five different-shaped magic wands on his back.

With this outfit, someone who didn't know better might think she was cosplaying a ninja from the movie "The Ninja Family."

Hope instinctively slowed her pace, her body swayed, and she activated "Arch of the Tree," instantly and silently blending into the nearest tree.

Grandma Poliusica stood on the porch, her face as stern as ever, but Hope keenly noticed the seriousness in her eyes.

"I've finished developing a potion that allows magic to be used in that world. Are you really prepared to face it alone?"

Polyusica's voice carried a rare hint of concern.

The black-robed man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time: "Time is running out, Granny Poliusica. I won't be able to stop the next 'Anima'."

"If all else fails, I'll ask the guild for help. I've just figured out how to make a magic potion."

"I don't want to involve the guild."

Poliusica sighed and said nothing more, but took a bottle of potion from the house and handed it to the man in black.

The man in black thanked him, turned and walked into the depths of the forest, disappearing into the shadows of the dense woods in a few breaths.

Hope waited a few minutes to make sure the man was far away before stepping out from behind the tree. He deliberately made his footsteps louder so that Poliusica would notice his arrival.

“Grandma, I’ve come to deliver the medicinal herbs.” Hope held up the package.

Poliuska gave Hope a cold glance, her gaze lingering on him for a moment, as if she had sensed something: "Come in."

Leaving behind a message, Poliusica turned and went into the cabin, which surprised Hope somewhat, as he hadn't even been able to get in the last time he came to deliver medicine.

Stepping into the treehouse, the air was filled with a complex aroma of herbs. It was filled with various medicinal materials, books, and experimental equipment. If those clumsy guys from the guild were to accidentally knock it over...

Hope finally understood why Porlyusica wouldn't allow guild members into the house.

After inspecting the medicine Hope had brought, Poliusica sat down and poured herself a cup of hot tea. "You saw everything?"

"Well, to be precise, I saw a little bit."

Hope couldn't help but ask, "That person just now...?"

"You don't know him?"

Polius was somewhat surprised. Seeing Hope's bewildered expression, she realized that the kid really didn't know and said, "He is your guild's S-rank mage, Mystogan."

Hope instantly realized that the person wrapped up tightly in black robes was none other than Mystogan, one of Fairy Tail's S-class mages.

Fairy Tail currently has 5 S-class rank members.

Hope only saw Mirajane and Erza; she couldn't even see the shadows of the other three, let alone see them.

Mystogan is also known in private among the guild members as "the most mysterious man in Fairy Tail" because only Makarov has seen his true face since he joined the guild, and he hardly interacts with anyone else.

But now it seems that Granny Poliusica and Mystgang have a very close relationship.

Could Mistgang be Polyusica's son?

Snapped!

Polyusika casually pulled out a book and slapped it across Hope's face. "You brat, your dirty look is just as smug as Makarov's when he was young."

Is it really that obvious?

Hope rubbed her face, unable to contain her curiosity, "So, is Mistgang your son, Grandma?"

Poliuska's face darkened, and she instinctively reached out to the table where a magical reagent, bubbling with green light, looked dangerous.

"Mother-in-law, calm down! Calm down!" Hope readily admitted her mistake.

Seeing Hope slide down her knees quickly, Poliusica snorted, "How many years has it been? Fairy Tail always manages to get guys with such bizarre thought processes like you."

"Ahem, no personal attacks, please." Hope said helplessly. After spending so much time with the guild members, he sometimes felt like he was being assimilated.

"You brat, do me a favor."

Poliusica pulled out a map of the Kingdom of Fiore and pointed to a small island on it. "I'm missing a 'Moonlight Grass'. Go to Karna Island and bring one back for me."

"After this is done, I will give you a plant seed that can automatically collect solar energy. This plant can convert solar energy into magic power that mages can directly absorb. Although the amount is not large, it should be helpful to you."

Hope's eyes lit up. His biggest problem right now was his low magic power limit, which caused his mana bar to run out after using a few magic-consuming spells.

Although he could use the "Arch of the Great Tree" to temporarily draw upon some of the earth's magic, he wanted anything that could restore his magic, regardless of whether it was useless or not.

Hope agreed without hesitation, took the map, and carefully examined the location of Galna Island.

Polyusica nodded in satisfaction, then resumed her indifferent expression. "Moonlight flowers only bloom at night and must be used within three days of being picked. So you must return to me as soon as you obtain the Moonlight Grass. If you understand, then set off."

Hope nodded, but turned back as she was about to leave. "Grandma Polyusica, I'm still very curious, what exactly is your relationship with Mystogan?"

After a moment of silence, Poliusicaa said, "He and I are from the same world."

Chapter 29 Galna Island

The following day, with the arrival of the first magical train, Hope arrived in the coastal city of Harugeon.

Half a month has passed since Natsu and Lucy forcibly demolished it, but when he set foot in the city, he saw a Hargeon that had been rebuilt.

I found out that the city hall hired three teams of civil engineering mages to work in shifts, and the destroyed half of the city was rebuilt in just about ten days.

It has to be said that in the world of magic, things like building structures are quite convenient. As long as the money is right, those civil engineering mages can work overtime and do their jobs like crazy.

Why is it that civil engineers are destined to be laborers no matter where they are...?

"Galna Island? No way, that place is too eerie!"

"Young man, don't you know that island is cursed?"

"Let's ask again in a while."

Upon arriving at the coast, Hope intended to take a boat to Galna Island, but the boatmen refused upon hearing the destination, and some even advised him against going to the cursed island.

Hope frowned. Grandma Poliusica hadn't mentioned this at all. Was it that Grandma didn't know, or did she think it was such a trivial matter?

However, the boatmen's attitude suddenly piqued Hope's interest in Galna Island.

Upon inquiry, a kind boatman told Hope that Karna Island had been called the "cursed island" for the past three years, supposedly because the island's inhabitants were cursed and would turn into terrifying demons every night.

Because the problem remained unresolved for so long, people in nearby towns dared not approach Galna Island, fearing they too would be afflicted by the curse and turn into monsters.

However, there was a boatman who supposedly escaped from Karna Island and was willing to take people out to sea to Karna Island.

But Hope didn't want to wait any longer. Flying there would be the same thing, since Galna Island wasn't far from Hargeon anyway; it would just cost some magic power.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the boatmen, the magic circle that unfolded behind Hope transformed into a pair of magical wings, and then she soared into the sky.

"So you're a mage."

"He must have gone to break the curse, right?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would we go to that island?"

"I hope he succeeds. The people on that island are really nice; I even met their village chief once..."

"......"

Several boatmen sat on the shore, chatting idly.

But not long after, someone else came to them.

"Hey gentlemen, we're going to Karna Island, is it possible to get there?" Natsu asked casually, but the boatmen gave him strange looks in response.

A boatman spoke up, "Young man, are you and this young lady also going to Karna Island?"

Behind Natsu, Lucy, who was holding Happy, immediately caught the key point: "Could it be that someone else went to that island before us?"

The boatman nodded. "There is a mage. He seems to be going to break the curse. He's been gone for about half an hour."

"Hey!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off!"

Natsu grabbed Lucy and Happy and was about to jump onto the boat, but the boatman stopped them. "Sorry, Sakura-haired guy, we're not going to Karna Island."

"How did that mage get there before?"

"Oh, he flew there."

Happy immediately felt two burning gazes fall on him, and he knew without a doubt that they were from Natsu and Lucy.

The little cat looked troubled. Carrying one person was already its limit, and this time it had to fly across the sea... Natsu and Lucy actually knew that relying on Happy was impossible.

Just as they were worrying, a figure appeared silently behind them.

"We've got you!"

Gray suddenly appeared and put his hands on Natsu and Lucy's shoulders. "You three dared to ignore the guild rules and steal the S-rank mission request form. The guild master is very angry. Come back with me and apologize."

It turns out that Natsu and Happy stole the S-rank quest from the second floor of the guild, and then used the Golden Celestial Key from the quest reward to persuade Lucy to join them.

Upon seeing that it was Gray, Natsu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Erza had come to capture him, Natsu would definitely be begging for mercy by now, but unfortunately, Makarov sent Gray instead.

They are like oil and water, how could Gray possibly persuade Natsu?

Seeing the two of them about to start fighting at the slightest disagreement, Lucy and Happy were quite helpless.

Just then, a small boat came alongside.

"Hey, are you guys going to Karna Island?"

"I can take you there."

The boatman's words broke the stalemate, and Natsu took advantage of Gray's distraction to punch him unconscious.

Gray, who was originally there to catch up with Natsu's team, ended up being dragged onto the "pirate ship" by Natsu and Lucy.
