A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"A royal tomb? It must be heavily guarded, right?"

Alabasta has a total population of around 1000 million, with a standing army of 60. Even though most soldiers are stationed in various cities, tens of thousands remain in Albania. As one of the most important royal sites, the strength of the royal tombs' security is self-evident.

However, in this world where great power is concentrated in one person, the fighting power of tens of thousands of soldiers is not enough to cause much trouble. They can be dealt with by stronger pirates with a wave of their hand. For mages of Kira's caliber, they are not even as terrifying as Acnologia's roar.

Ultear and the others weren't interested in Kira's antics; they had already treated their experience in this world as a trip. So, once they entered Albana, they went off to explore the town. As a result, only Robin, Levy, and Lucy, the three members of the 'Ancient Language Learning Group,' followed Kira to the royal tombs to search for historical texts.

Perhaps because the royal army was in a state of extreme conflict with the rebel army, when Kira and his companions swaggered in using invisibility magic, they found that the royal tomb was surprisingly sparsely guarded, making the infiltration process easy.

After opening the mechanism of the underground passage, the group passed through a long and dark underground tunnel and arrived at a spacious hall. In the center of the hall, there was an ancient stone tablet inscribed with mysterious characters.

Kira gathered his magic and released a simple illumination spell, making the entire historical monument clearly visible to the group. Although all five sides were covered in dust, there was not a trace of decay or ash. The invincible chisel of time seemed unable to leave a single mark on it.

"What an amazing stone!"

Lucy, full of curiosity, stepped forward to examine them, then exclaimed in amazement, "Kira, are these stones really over eight hundred years old? You can't tell from their appearance at all!"

Levy put on her reading glasses, attempting to use magic to analyze the text, but she was disappointed because the device did not contain any records of that type of writing, so it could not analyze it automatically.

Fortunately, she had already learned quite a bit of writing from Robin that day, so she could decipher some of it.

"This is... the historical text passed down through generations of the Nefertari family?!"

Robin couldn't hide her excitement; the surging blood made her face flush.

She had been working at Baroque Works for so many years, all for this piece of information. But until yesterday, she never imagined that obtaining the historical text would be such a simple matter.

Now that the historical text was right in front of him, Robin couldn't wait any longer. He quickly scanned the text, translating each word and memorizing them.

When Robin finished translating the entire text, she suddenly froze, because she discovered that it really did record the burial place of the ancient weapon 'Pluto' Pride—Wano Country.

"You said before that you told Crocodile the location of 'Pluton'??"

Robin turned to look at Kira, only to find him holding a camera and taking pictures of the historical monument in front of him, which surprised him.

"Yes, it should be written here too, right? 'Pluto' is in Wano Country."

"Uh...yes."

Kira's voice made Robin freeze again. She was certain Kira couldn't read and that this was his first time here. So how did he find out the location of 'Pluto'? Was it that 'special intelligence channel' he mentioned? What exactly was that?

If possible, she also wanted to use that intelligence channel to find out the whereabouts of more 'historical monuments'...

"You really have no interest in 'Pluto'?"

Hearing Robin's words, Kira stopped what he was doing and looked at her with a 'this child is so pitiful' expression: "I have magical spirit power, why would I need 'Pluto'? We don't even know if that thing has any energy or if it can be powered!"

Lucy asked curiously, "Kira, Robin, what exactly is this 'Pluto' you're talking about?"

It's definitely not Hades...

Kira checked the photos he had taken to make sure they were clear before answering, “'Pluto' is one of the three ancient weapons of this world. It’s a warship that was built more than 800 years ago by a giant kingdom using super-advanced technology. I heard that it can destroy an island with a single shot.”

Lucy suddenly realized: "An island?? That doesn't sound very powerful, does it?"

Having witnessed weapons like the Magic Spirit Power, and having seen mages like Kira, Acnologia, August, and Irene, they were long since indifferent to the power to destroy islands.

If you can't destroy a country in one fell swoop, you're ultimately just an ant in the arms world!

Robin was completely bewildered: What's wrong with you mages? Are you all so picky?

"Have you finished looking at it? I'm going to put it away." Kira said, handing the three of them the Polaroid photos he had just taken. "If you want to see more, look at this one!"

Lucy took a look, frowned, and complained, "The print is way too small!"

Kira placed another magnifying glass on the ground: "Wouldn't it be easier to see if we added this?"

Three people: "..."

After Kira stored the historical stone in his personal storage, Robin suddenly asked, "The 'magic' you talk about... I wonder if I can learn it?"

"Hmm? You're interested too?" Kira was quite surprised. "I thought you weren't interested in anything outside of archaeology and history."

Robin adjusted his hat and said casually, "I just thought it might make my archaeological work a little easier. If it involves your privacy or secrets, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Wearing a hat down...that's a sign of guilt!

Kira narrowed his eyes and instantly saw through Robin's thoughts. However... could Robin really be the kind of person who would pretend to be indifferent when she really wanted something?

“Everyone has different magical talents, so I’m not sure if you can learn spatial magic,” Kira cautioned.

"Really? Then..."

Robin was about to change her mind, but Kira interrupted her, saying, "Let's give it a try anyway!"

"Huh?! Is that okay?" Robin suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Kira nodded: "Of course, magic is not something to be kept secret! In Aslant, spellbooks are expensive, but they are still things that can be bought. It's just that this is not Aslant, so if you want to learn magic, you will need to pay a little price."

"What price?"

Kira's lips curled into a smile: "First, you need to join 'Fairy Tail'!"

Chapter 864 The war in Alabasta is not so easy to resolve...

Joining 'Fairy Tail'??

Is it really that simple?

Kira's mention of the 'price' startled Robin, her eyes widening in astonishment. She knew that this time, the 'joining the guild' he was referring to wasn't the subordinate guild the Baroque Works agents had joined yesterday, but rather their... guild headquarters?

"Join your guild? Of course!"

In Robin's view, isn't it normal to learn from others and join their ranks?

"However, I don't think it's possible to announce joining just like that, right? Otherwise, it would be too easy! What are your guild's requirements for recruiting members?"

"It seems... there aren't any requirements, right? I joined the guild right away when I first started, but now..."

As Lucy spoke, she looked at Kira, her meaning clear: this guy is now in charge of the guild, and he gets to make all the demands.

Kira met Robin's eager gaze and said, "You need to know magic."

“Hmm…but I don’t know magic…” Robin blinked.

Kira waved his hand generously: "No problem, we can teach you!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Robin smiled gently, but the next moment, her smile froze on her face.

"But you need to join a guild before I can teach you."

"So, I don't know magic right now!!"

"That's why I can teach you!"

"Then... teach me!"

"Join a guild first!!"

"..."×3

I think you're just making things difficult for me, Nico Robin!!!

Robin chuckled awkwardly a few times and said, "Actually, after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly feel that learning magic doesn't seem very meaningful. Anyway, as long as I follow you, we can find more historical monuments without having to carry them myself. It's more interesting to read a couple more history books than to spend that time learning magic..."

"Seriously? You couldn't hold back after that? Looks like you're not exactly a patient person..." Kira sneered, while using spatial magic to teleport the three of them back to Earth without them noticing.

"That feels great! I've got the stone tablet. Now the first step of my plan is complete!"

"So, what do we do next?" Robin asked.

After stretching his back and arms, Kistra yawned and said, "You can do whatever you want with the rest of the time. We'll leave once Erza and the others arrive."

"Where to go?"

"Let's go to Water Seven... no, let's go to the Sky Islands!"

The familiar name took a turn the moment it slipped out, because Kira suddenly realized that he had now taken over Crocodile's Baroque Works, and recruiting a few ships would be a piece of cake.

Since we don't need to worry about the ship for the time being, then gold should take center stage!

Lucy's eyes lit up: "You just said Sky Island?? You mean... islands that float in the sky? Do those places from fairy tales really exist??"

Kira nodded and smiled, "That's right, an island formed by special clouds about 10,000 meters above sea level. I think the Hope should be able to reach it."

Levy closed the book she had been holding in her arms, and exclaimed, "This world is truly amazing! It's just like a fairy tale..."

"Yes! Everything in this world originates from the power of 'imagination,' which is very similar to the concept in magic that 'powerful wishes can become reality'..."

Kira continued to chatter on about references he'd borrowed from other magical worlds.

Lucy was speechless again: "Where in the magical world does such a concept exist?!"

……

Happy times are always short-lived. In just half a day, Kira noticed that the atmosphere in Albana had changed. The reason for the change was that the Kingdom Army had issued an emergency evacuation notice in the town.

Half an hour later, Kira and the others regrouped in an empty coffee shop.

Wendy, Melty, and Romeo, three children, were in charge of making coffee for the adults, while the adults shamelessly sat back and enjoyed the coffee. They sat around the largest table in the café, savoring the coffee the kids had brewed, and then discussing the future of the kingdom.

Old smoker Wakaba stubbed out his cigarette, squinted his old eyes, and sighed, "What's going on? Kingdom soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets and ordered residents to take emergency evacuation? This is the capital! Won't this cause panic?"

Lucy stroked her chin and analyzed, "If I'm not mistaken, a war is about to break out, right? Wasn't this the same thing we did when we learned that Crocus was about to face an attack from ten thousand dragons?"

"War... those rebel armies? I've heard that this country is indeed in a state of rebellion..."

Since arriving in Alabasta, the group has visited Nahana, Rain Country, and now Albana, all very important cities. Even if Marcao and the others didn't care about Kira's actions and just spent their time sightseeing, it would be difficult for them not to learn about the rebels from the locals.

"Are you going to interfere in another country's war, Kira?"

As a middle-aged man, he has seen and thought more, and his life experience is much greater than that of young people like Marcus. They know that Kira wants to stir up trouble and make a big splash in order to gather his allies. Here, nothing is more important than starting or ending a war.

Since they were from the same guild and he had watched Kira grow up, he didn't try to stop him. However, if this wasn't handled properly, he could easily end up being universally condemned, so he had to be very careful.

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. I have experience!" Kira patted his chest confidently.

"When did you gain experience? I didn't know that!"

"When the commission was for 2 million J".

Well, when I didn't say it.
