A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Natsu looked completely bewildered: "Huh... what effect?"

"Won't I become a big celebrity?" Happy said excitedly, "The kind where people ask for my autograph when I walk down the street! Maybe someone will treat me to fish every day."

"Ahh~ That must be tiring~ But if I have a dragon, it's okay to be a little tired..."

"Natsu, Happy, Erza means that bringing a dragon will attract Acnologia!"

Seeing that Natsu, Happy, and even Kira hadn't grasped her meaning, Erza sighed, "Uh... I was actually trying to say that it would cause trouble for the citizens and the chairman... but now it seems like we've added another problem."

"What trouble could there be?! With dragons, Magnolia would definitely become one of the most prosperous cities in Fiore, right?" Kira waved his hand dismissively, engrossed in his perfect future plans. "Then we can build a huge zoo, charge tourists admission, and offer services like 'touching,' 'kissing,' 'riding,' and 'chatting' with the dragons. We're guaranteed to make a fortune!!"

Lucy Grey complained helplessly, "What do you guys think dragons are?"

"opponent!"

"A mount!"

"Money tree!"

Just as the three were answering, a violent, massive, familiar yet unfamiliar magical fluctuation suddenly came from the distant mountains. Everyone was startled and their eyes widened involuntarily!

Kira was the first to react: "This type of magic... it's a dragon!! Judging from the direction, it's in the mountains. We came to the right place this time!"

Before he could finish speaking, another long, earth-shattering sound erupted. The entire mountain range seemed to come alive, emitting terrifying noises. Soon, a gale swept in from afar, carrying odors of varying strengths and splattering against everyone's faces.

Natsu took a deep sniff of the air and said seriously, "Although it's faint, there is definitely a dragon's scent in the wind!"

Wendy closed her eyes, sensing the wind's message and listening intently to its sounds. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said to everyone, "This mountain range seems to be the territory of a dragon, and that dragon is currently fighting with humans!"

Kira was greatly surprised by the girl's action: "Wendy, you can actually communicate with the wind to this extent now?"

This is ridiculous! Does this mean support characters nowadays also have to double as scouts? Kira already thought it was absurd that Sky-attribute Dragon Slayer Magic could use additional magic, but now they're even talking to the wind?

What Kira didn't know was that after joining the Dragon Force last year, Wendy's affinity for wind increased significantly. Not long ago, she also learned two Dragon Slayer techniques from Grandine from Perusia: "Sky Piercer" and "Galaxy". Now, not only are her combat skills second-tier in the guild, but she is also adept at using other magic.

Hearing Kira's genuine surprise and praise, Wendy blushed and lowered her head modestly, saying, "I can only do simple information reading!"

Xia Lulu was speechless after watching this scene, and couldn't help but admonish, "I'm telling you, you should be a little more confident in yourself!"

"That dragon is fighting with someone... who could it be?"

"It must be a mage from Diablos, right? Only they would dare to do this, and only they would be able to do this."

"There's no point in thinking about it here. Let's go over and check it out!" Kira took out a flying carpet from his personal storage space, threw it on the ground, spread it out, and walked onto it. "Get on the carpet!"

Three minutes later, the flying carpet carried the group into the mountains. The inexplicable commotion continued, sometimes trembling and sometimes stopping. The tremors were like blood gushing and pulse pounding, sometimes like mountains collapsing and the sea surging back. The frenzied magic drew everyone's attention. When it stopped, it was silent again, and the magic continued to rise, brewing for the next attack.

"Even in battle, isn't this dragon a bit too violent?? It's not spring anymore!"

Kira sensed the magical fluctuations and the movement of the mountains in the distance and complained, "Wendy, are you sure the wind spirit was talking to you about a battle? Was it serious?"

However, Wendy clearly didn't understand Kira's meaning: "Huh? Is there such a thing as a serious battle? By the way, what is a wind spirit?"

"A wind spirit is a wind spirit, just like a fire spirit or a water spirit."

"So, do elves really exist?"

Kira lied earnestly, "Of course! They're creatures like 'fairies,' aren't they? They're all in the books, right? They're about the size of a finger, they can use all sorts of magic, and most of them are very good at housework magic. They'll also come to the rescue when their owners are having a hard time, experiencing heartbreak, or being bullied by other kids. They're great partners for humans. They just have a few flaws, like a love for snacks..."

Wendy believed her and her eyes lit up with each word. She couldn't help but ask, "Eh?! Really? Kira-san knows so much! Which book did you read that in?"

"Fairy tale book".

Wendy froze instantly.

"Isn't that all just a lie to fool children...?"

The conversation between the two prompted Lucy, the queen of sarcasm, to mutter another complaint under her breath. Natsu and Happy, who had been listening silently, were also dumbfounded and exclaimed at the same time, "Is it really fake?"

Lucy was even more incredulous than they were: "You two actually believed that?!"

"It's perfectly normal for them to believe it."

"That makes sense..."

The conversation didn't bother Erza. Her eyes were fixed on the direction from which the magic was emanating, her expression serious as she murmured softly, "How strange..."

"What's wrong, Erza?"

"Wendy just said that dragon is fighting with people, right? If it's fighting and making such a commotion, why do I only sense a magical energy?"

Kira thought for a moment and speculated, "Maybe it's a battle with treasure hunters or alchemists? The top combat forces on this continent are not simple! Besides the guild leader of 'Diabolos,' I've heard that there are also three strong individuals in the Alchemy Guild 'Golden Owl' who are no weaker than the 'Ten Wizards'!"

Erza glanced at Kira curiously: "This is the first time I've heard you use the word 'I've heard' so seriously."

"Yes, because I know very little about this continent."

The group was instantly moved. Kira had always been very confident in his intelligence; he even knew about Diablos, so how could he not know about this?

"Why are you looking at me like that? They're not mages, why should I pry so much? It's enough for me to have a general idea of ​​their strength!"

"What level of 'not weaker than the Ten Wizard Saints' do you mean?"

Kira answered bluntly, "A level above!"

"In the same category?"

"Let me put it this way, before I became one of the 'Ten Saints,' Serena, who was ranked first among the 'Ten Saints,' could fight the other nine by himself, and they were all stronger than Serena!"

"What?!?!" Kira's answer immediately drew gasps from everyone. "Are alchemists this strong?"

"Yes! 'I've heard' it's that strong!!!"

Chapter 415 Sword Saint Dragon Kurnuki

Given Kira's habit of not revealing his sources of information, the others didn't press him about who he "heard" from, but instead changed the subject to alchemy.

"Speaking of which, what is alchemy like?"

Kira thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... it's similar to shape magic, I guess!"

"Shape magic?" Upon hearing this, the group unconsciously turned their gazes toward Gray, and even Gray himself was stunned.

“I know of someone who has mastered the alchemy of ‘mechanical transmutation’ and can create all kinds of mechanical weapons and mechanical soldiers; there is also ‘chain transmutation’ and can create chains with special abilities; and there is even ‘body transmutation’ and can create bodies.”

"Creating a body??"

“For example, aren’t there people who have lost an arm or leg due to injury, or who have had a high-level amputation? ‘Bodybuilding’ can heal them and create the missing limbs or organs for them.”

This outrageous thing shocked them so much that their eyes practically popped out of their sockets. They gasped and tried to calm themselves down: "Body tempering... this is even better than any other treatment method, isn't it?"

Kira exclaimed in amazement, "Yes! Using this method to open a hospital would definitely make a fortune! I think this amazing alchemy might even be able to cure incurable diseases like baldness!"

"Uh... from creating human organs to treating baldness, the difference is just too big!"

"Losing value? Absolutely not! People who haven't experienced it have no idea how painful hair loss and baldness are!" Kira snapped at him. "If you don't believe me, go ask the Chairman, go ask Jura, and you'll know how much they suffer!"

Seeing Kira's earnest words, the group was immediately filled with remorse: "No wonder I saw the chairman secretly shedding tears before. It turns out he's been worrying about us all this time. But we haven't appreciated the good intentions of our elder at all. We really shouldn't have done that!"

Kira stared blankly at the group's regretful expressions with his dead fish eyes. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, besides hair, I think this 'body transmutation' could also create something that both men and women like..."

At this point, Kira suddenly glanced at Wendy, who was listening attentively beside him, and quickly changed his words, "Ahem... This is truly a wonderful method that benefits men and women, the old and the young!"

These words left a few people who weren't troubled by anything puzzled, but Wendy seemed to have grasped the essence of Kira's words. With seven parts envy and three parts longing, she murmured, "Alchemy 'body transmutation'? That sounds so interesting! I wonder if I can be friends with its users?"

You want to be friends? You're just after their alchemy! I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!!

After discussing alchemy, the group followed their powerful magical senses and located the source of the disturbance in the mountains, which was indeed the battlefield where dragons and humans fought.

The battlefield covered an area equivalent to about five or six mountains, but instead of mountains, it was a scarred ruin.

Judging from the traces, it is not difficult to infer that during the battle between the two sides, the mountain could not withstand the attack of the dragon and the human and collapsed, turning into countless large and small stones scattered all over the ground.

The ruins were covered with thick, long, and deep sword marks. The thickest was three meters wide, the longest was hundreds of meters long, and the deepest... was bottomless, because during the battle, the surrounding rubble would fall into the cleaved cracks and fill them.

The two sides in the battle were a giant white dragon and a very familiar figure. Both were covered in dust and dirt, injured, and panting heavily, but their momentum was astonishing.

This dragon had glossy scales, strong claws, broad wings, soft fur, and a strong, muscular body; it was majestic and should have been very clean and handsome. However, its fur was now covered in dust, making it look rather disheveled.

The white-clad figure battling the dragon possessed short red hair, a handsome face, and a tall, upright posture. He wielded two sharp swords, their edge barely concealed by the dust. Even facing the dragon, the red-haired swordsman showed no sign of panic; instead, his fighting spirit was unwavering, giving the impression that he grew stronger with each battle. This dashing and heroic figure was unmatched by anyone else.

The battlefield was unobstructed by mountains and trees, and the sunlight fell without hindrance, reflecting the swordsman's and the dragon's images on the swordsman's twin swords—two opponents who were equally engrossed in their battle.

Suddenly, a dark shadow streaked across the distant sky. Upon reaching the area above the battlefield, the shadow did not continue flying forward but instead hovered in the air, drawing the attention of both sides.

"Someone's here?"

Their keen senses allowed both sides, who were taking a break between battles, to simultaneously spot the dark figure. The man and the dragon looked up at the same time, and when they saw what was floating in the air, they were immediately puzzled: "A flying carpet?"

"Could it be someone from the Council?" the dragon uttered in a deep voice.

The swordsman shook his head and replied, "It shouldn't be! This flying carpet looks familiar to me."

The next moment, several heads suddenly appeared on the flying carpet.

Kira waved to the swordsmen below and called out, "Long time no see, six brothers!"

Upon hearing the voice, the dragon's eyes widened instantly, and it exclaimed in surprise at its opponent, "He's your brother? You actually have a brother?"

"no!"

The dragon looked up and carefully examined Kira, then looked down at the person in front of it intently: "You two look exactly alike, and you even smell similar, yet he calls you brother. And you still say you're not brothers?"

Dispel sheathed his twin swords at his waist: "I already said no, we're just ordinary friends!"

"Do you know why you said that? It sounded just like a dragon."

"What do you mean?"

"They also have the same attitude towards pregnant female dragons."

"..."

Ten minutes later, the fighting stopped, and everyone sat on the large rock to rest.

Kira and his group curiously circled the giant dragon that had transformed into human form, wondering, "So... you were the one who attacked the Council? And you're friends with Dispel?"

"I did do that. Also, we're not friends, we're rivals!"

Although Chnuki is not 300 years old, he is already considered an adult dragon. When he transforms into human form, he looks like an 18 or 19-year-old teenager, similar to Natsu, Gray, and others.

His light golden hair fell naturally down his back. He had a handsome face, a calm expression, and cold eyes. Due to the battle with Dispel, his clothes were inevitably covered in dust, but because of his tall and slender figure, he looked very noble.

This is the Sword Saint Dragon, Kurnuki.
