Chapter 376 Shameless Person!
Good news, there's a lead.
The bad news is, at this point, the same as none.
Completely perplexed, Hope decided to stop thinking about it. He figured things would work themselves out, and he didn't care what the mysterious man was involved in or what kind of conspiracy it might be.
This is the confidence that the power of magnetic fields gives!
However, you should still be careful. When you have free time, use "Dragon Slayer of Law" to search for people who match the characteristics of the mysterious person and slowly investigate.
Everything that exists will leave a trace.
Hope looked at the Emerald Dragon. "The information you provided was somewhat useful. In return, is there anything I can do to help you? Of course, whether I agree or not depends on my mood."
Is it really okay for you to just say it so blatantly...?
The jade dragon's lips twitched as it looked at Hope, who was only half-heartedly giving it a perfunctory answer. "Then can you let me be reincarnated as a human?"
Hope tilted her head, completely surprised that the Emerald Dragon would make such a request.
In fact, the reincarnation mechanism in this world is very simple. As long as the deceased has no lingering attachments after death, their soul will be automatically pulled by the rules of the world to begin the next journey of life.
However, what you are reincarnated into is random. You could be a human, something that flies in the sky or swims in the sea, an ant, or even a plant.
It is precisely because of this uncertainty that the soul of the jade dragon, who longed to be human, has not dissipated after its death.
Hope didn't really have any other options, but there was one way to increase the chances of being reborn as a human: bring the Emerald Dragon's soul to the place where the newborn was born.
That is, the delivery room.
Based on the principle of proximity in the plot, perhaps the Emerald Dragon's soul can get the moon first due to its proximity?
Emerald Dragon immediately agreed to Hope's method.
"I didn't expect you to be a dragon willing to coexist with humans. As a sign of respect, I will personally send you on your way."
"Who said that? I used to eat people."
The Emerald Dragon's words made Hope pause in his spellcasting. He thought it was a funny husky, but it turned out to be a man-eating beast that wanted his help to reincarnate.
You wish!
Seeing Hope's change of attitude faster than flipping through a book, the Emerald Dragon cursed the guy inwardly for being shameless, but since it was a dragon under someone else's roof, it had no choice but to bow its head.
"Human, I'll trade you a spell."
"What kind of magic? I don't want trash." Seeing that there were benefits, Hope was secretly overjoyed, even though she pretended to be disgusted.
"This is the dragon magic I've developed. It's not lethal, but I'm sure you'll love it."
The jade dragon lowered its head, a playful smile on its face, and whispered, "My magic can instantly remove all clothes; it's the absolute nemesis of women!"
Wow! Good stuff!
Hope's eyes lit up, but her face immediately darkened. "How dare you! Do you think I, Hope, am that kind of person with such filthy thoughts! Don't you understand the importance of respecting women?"
After saying that, Hope, with an upright expression, turned around.
However, he rubbed his fingertips together with the emerald green behind his back.
Emerald Dragon was truly stunned by Hope's actions.
Is this what they mean by "saying one thing in front of people and another behind their backs"? He's really learned something new today.
He could tell at a glance that this guy was a lecherous old man, yet he insisted on pretending to be a gentleman in front of him. How could there be such a person in this world...?
Shameless! Unscrupulous!
Nonsence!
Despite his displeasure, a ball of light carrying the Emerald Dragon's "One-Click Clothes Removal" magic still silently landed in Hope's hands.
Hope turned around with satisfaction. He wasn't after the Emerald Dragon's magic; his main purpose was to go back and train Erza's dress-up magic, and also to train Mirajane and Cana's sense of shame.
He absolutely did not mean anything by it.
That's right, that's it!
Seeing that the Emerald Dragon had stopped giving him that disdainful look, Hope tacitly refrained from bringing it up. "Although you were once a man-eating dragon, since you want to experience the life of what you call 'food,' I have no reason to stop you."
"I'll send you to be reincarnated in a world without dragons."
The next second, the water shimmered.
The aura of the Emerald Dragon then completely vanished from this world.
Meanwhile, in the parallel world of Edolas.
After a long day of painstakingly patching the world's vulnerabilities, "Despair Emperor" Hopeless, who had just sat down to rest, fell silent upon seeing the Emerald Dragon soul thrown at him by his counterpart, along with the message for the other's reincarnation.
After a long while, Hopleth got so angry that he overturned the table.
(╯-_-)╯╧╧
You should do what you promised others! You bastard!
......
......
Let's turn our attention back to Hope.
Hope, who dumped the Emerald Dragon in Edolas, felt perfectly at ease, without any psychological burden of leaving the trouble to his counterpart.
You might say they're the same person from parallel universes.
Therefore, Hope's promise is Hopeless's promise.
On the contrary, if something happens to Hopeless... then Hopeless will have to cut ties first.
(Hopeless: Bah! How can a person be so selfish!)
Now that there was nothing more to note in the Dragon's Tomb, Hope stopped lingering and went straight through the hidden path, soon arriving at his destination: the location of the 'Eclipse Gate'.
Looking at the wide square under the sky in front of him, and then at the narrow and dark underground passage behind him, Hope would have almost thought he had gone to the wrong place if it weren't for the huge door in the square being so conspicuous.
The main problem was that Mester didn't provide a detailed explanation, which led Hope to believe that the "Eclipse Gate" was underground, when in fact it was above ground, only connected to the Dragon's Tomb by a secret passage.
Ultimately, it's still the territory of the Ophire royal family; it's just unclear how they view the door that was opened earlier.
However, the Eclipse Gate is so large that no city could match it as a gate. I don't know why Jelf designed it to be so grand.
Are the materials free?
Hope stepped forward and observed carefully.
The Eclipse Gate was magnificent and vast, so vast that it could be described as towering and imposing. It is now closed.
After looking around, he figured out what was going on. The 'Eclipse Gate' was actually a combination of dark magic from the Book of Zeref and celestial magic.
When the two are combined, a miraculous magical creation is born.
Unfortunately, this is the only door we know about so far. Even if Hope wanted to dismantle it for research, he would have to worry about whether he could piece the 'Eclipse Gate' back together.
As for the mysterious person who came from the other side of the door, as expected, there were no relevant clues left behind, which was also within Hope's expectations. Fortunately, he had already learned new clues from the Emerald Dragon.
We came with high hopes, so we can't say we left disappointed.
Just as Hope was about to leave, a large group of soldiers escorted two figures into the square.
Two figures walked one after the other. The one behind was Arcadios, whom they had just met once, while the girl with emerald green hair walking in front was none other than the darling of the Ophire royal family, the Emerald Princess.
Chapter 377 Dragon's Cry
"Your Highness, is Lord Hope really coming here?"
Beneath the massive door, Arcadios stopped and looked at the girl in front of him.
Princess Emerald turned around and said seriously, "He will definitely come. I mentioned the 'Eclipse Plan' to him when I went to pay my respects last time."
"The fact that Mr. Hope told you he was going to Mount Thomas to visit the Grand Magic Games arena means he must be interested in our plans."
Arcadios: Is it possible that when you told Hope about the Eclipse Plan last time, you didn't mention using the Grand Magic Games to collect magic power...?
Hope, who's hiding: This princess is so lame!
At this point, Arcadios said again, "Your Highness, the Minister of State still firmly opposes the Eclipse Plan. With his interference, even though His Majesty has tacitly approved our actions, we will still be somewhat hampered."
"There's no way around it, Uncle Dutton is just that kind of realistic person who believes that living in the moment is the best thing to do."
"He doesn't know how many hidden dangers he could eliminate for the world if he could go back in time and destroy the black dragon and the black mage."
Jade's tone was tinged with helplessness, completely unaware that there was an invisible person beside her giving her a nonsensical look.
Hope shook her head.
It seems that Princess Emerald still wants to go back in time, eliminate Acnologia and Zeref, change history, and become an unknown hero.
Romantic as it may be, it's also genuinely naive.
Without even considering going back more than 400 years, it would be questionable whether their group could even survive in that chaotic era.
Don't let people or dragons act as speed bumps and get run over.
King Ophir only had one child, Princess Emerald, and as his only child and the next king, she was very well protected.
However, it seems that there are still some clear-headed people in the Fiore Kingdom's high-ranking officials. Faced with such a bratty princess, with even the king and the general joining in the folly, the minister of state must be thoroughly exasperated.
Hope didn't want to talk to a stubborn kid, so she decided to leave immediately and not show her face.
But Arcadios's next words brought him back to reality.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing to report to you."
"The magic staff we unearthed in the catacombs has been identified as possessing extremely dangerous power. It is an ominous object that has absorbed the resentment and immense magical power of the dragons after their deaths."
"I have already had the Hungry Wolf Knights seal it away."
Emerald nodded, agreeing with Arcadios's approach, and suggested, "Next, find a secluded place and send out an elite team to guard it closely."
"After all, that wand is exceptionally powerful. Although we have kept it a secret enough, it is inevitable that it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
As long as it doesn't involve black dragons and black mages, Princess Emerald's intelligence is still online.
Arcadios, oblivious to the situation, asked, "Your Highness, where do you think would be the most suitable place to put the wand?"
