The little pill that Mystergan brought had no other function than to allow these "Aislandon" people to use magical powers in "Edras".
"That's amazing."
Moen was surprised. He held the small pill up to the sunlight streaming through the guild hall window and examined it closely. A barely perceptible magical glow shimmered on the surface of the red pill.
This tiny red pill actually solved the biggest problem that had been troubling them.
"Let's call it the Recovery Ball."
Mystergan spoke with a smile, his voice carrying a long-lost sense of ease. He hadn't stopped for a moment these past few days because of this, and thankfully, he had finally succeeded.
"What's the underlying principle?"
Moen placed the pill in his palm, gently flicked it with his fingertips, and asked with great curiosity. Other members of the guild also gathered around.
"It's not that complicated. Actually, there's a miniature magic circle embedded in this recovery sphere. It's because of this miniature magic circle that you can use magic."
It can mimic your body into something similar to a magical artifact. This recovery orb is the embedded magic circle of that artifact, and your source of mana is essentially a magic crystal.
Mystergan began to explain earnestly, explaining that this explanation was quite novel, yet it fit the situation of "Edras" very well.
The humans of "Edras" cannot use magic; they rely on magical artifacts to fight. However, the people of "Aislandon," upon arriving there, possess magical power but cannot mobilize it to use magic. This is more like a constraint imposed by the rules of the world, directly blocking this ability.
Mystogan's actions conformed to the rules of "Edras." By consuming the "Recovery Orb," they deceived everyone by essentially turning their bodies into magical artifacts and using the "Recovery Orb" to unleash their magic.
"Impressive, Mystogan! No wonder you're a master of magic circles!"
Moen couldn't help but applaud this method and the ability to create magic arrays. This was something that ordinary people could not come up with or accomplish.
"It took me several years to master it."
Mr. Gang smiled and said that he hadn't come up with the idea all at once; he had only found the way after hitting countless walls.
"So, the reason I can use my Celestial Magic over there is because I'm relying on external forces?"
Moen realized this; his "Celestial Magic" could indeed be used without using any of his own magic power, which was quite different from most of the magic of "Aislandon".
Like Erza's "Changing Magic" and the official "Celestial Spirit Magic," they actually rely on the user's own magic power. In fact, the strength of the magic is determined by the strength of the user's own magic power. Whether a Celestial Spirit is powerful or not depends entirely on the strength of the user.
In the world of "Aislandon," "Holder-type Mages" must possess their own magical power, while in "Edras," they are true "Holder-types," where ordinary people can freely use them.
"Actually, it's mainly a matter of magic. When the people of Esland arrived in Edolas, they lost the ability to mobilize the magic within their bodies. But you can mobilize the magic of those stars, so naturally you can use magic. To put it bluntly, my recovery orb simply restores your ability to mobilize the magic within your bodies."
Mistgang continued to explain, looking at everyone with a serious expression.
"However, do not overuse magic. There is no natural magic power for you to absorb over there. If you overuse your magic power, you may overdraw your life force, or even be in danger of losing your life."
Having spent so many years in "Aislandon", Mystogan naturally understands the importance of "magic" to "Aislandon".
What does it mean to be a person?
"Magic power" is closely linked to "vitality". Without absorbing natural magic power from the outside world, relying solely on squeezing one's own magic power source to use magic could truly be life-threatening.
The reason why Aria the Air, the "first of the three elements" of the Phantom Lord, is so dangerous is that he can drain the magic power of his enemies in an instant, plunging them into a life-or-death crisis.
"clear!"
Everyone immediately responded. They were no longer greenhorns, and they could all understand this kind of thing. The magical power and the speed at which the magical source naturally generates magical power were what they were. Excessive use and excessive exploitation would be like wasting one's life. Once they arrived in that world, they would indeed have to act according to their abilities.
"Let's issue a call to action and gather everyone."
After using the [Other Dimension] to go to "Edras" and confirming that the "Little Red Pill" was indeed effective, Moen did not hesitate any longer and directly issued a summons, gathering all the mages of "Fairy Tail".
This was naturally with Makarov's consent. They had to do the "Expedition to Edolas," firstly because Mystogan was their comrade, and secondly because they needed to completely end the evil magic "Anima."
Both publicly and privately, Fairy Tail has no reason to back down.
"Should we invite other guilds to join us this time?"
Moen looked at Grandpa Makarov, who was sipping his drink at the bar, and asked.
This determines whether to directly begin the "great battle" between the two worlds, or to continue their "Fairy Tail" story.
Let's go scout ahead first.
Makarov put down his glass and tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden surface of the bar, making a soft, rhythmic sound.
"Let's not rush this. I think we can call on Blue Pegasus and Four-Headed Hound, and the three of us can go over and check the situation first. If it's not going well, we can contact other guilds to go together."
The old man thought about it seriously, but in the end he shook his head and did not choose to have a "final battle" directly.
Makarov was quite thoughtful. After all, that was Mystogan's home. If they could solve the problem themselves, there was really no need to bring so many people over. If too many people went, some might have ulterior motives, which could cause unnecessary conflicts.
As for "Four-Headed Hound" and "Azure Pegasus," these are true brotherhood guilds, and going with them will give you a better chance of success.
Makarov trusted his old comrades, as well as the elite mages of "Blue Pegasus" and "Four-Headed Hound," after all, they had cooperated many times over the years.
"Okay, let's arrange it that way."
Moen nodded readily, offering no objection.
Even with this "little red pill," they would still face certain limitations once they arrived in Edolas, but the power of their three guilds was definitely not to be underestimated.
The human kingdoms of the world "Edras" have been unified and are certainly not weak, but they can only rely on magical items, and magic crystals can only be accumulated through "Anima". Only the most elite people can use them freely.
Moen felt that if the three guilds joined forces, they might be able to solve the problem and even win the battle.
The only thing to worry about is that "Kingdom of the Transcendent," those so-called "gods."
Defeating the Kingdom's army was not enough; they also had to defeat the masterminds behind it all.
Since defeating "Moen of Edolas", Moen had a rough estimate of the strength of the human kingdoms in that world. Therefore, he was quite confident in defeating the kingdom's army. Only the "Kingdom of the Overlords" was still shrouded in mystery, and this time, they were determined to unveil that veil.
Soon, the news spread, and the mages of Fairy Tail began to assemble. Blue Pegasus and Four-Headed Hound also responded, saying they were already heading to Magnolia. The three guilds agreed to meet in Magnolia, which would take a few more days.
"Let's wait for Laxus."
Leaning against the bar, Moen smiled and said to Grandpa Makarov.
"Yes, we should wait for him. Once this matter is over, everyone will be here, which will be a good time to announce something."
Makarov took a sip of his drink and brought up the matter again, though he hadn't had a chance to announce it since making the decision.
Either the team isn't complete, or Laxus isn't there, but this big gathering is indeed a great opportunity.
"Well...we can actually wait a little longer, Uncle Gildarts hasn't returned yet..."
'
Moen glanced at Grandpa Makarov and suggested postponing the matter further. He felt that confirming his successor's identity so early would definitely provoke Laxus.
"Kildarts...it's been three years, and there's still no news..."
'
Upon hearing the mention of Kirdas, Makarov's expression changed, and he couldn't help but begin to worry.
"Yeah, it's been three years. Even if you're lost, you should have found your way home by now, right?"
Moen also sighed. Ever since he took on the "Centennial Mission" and left, Uncle Gildarts had been completely out of touch, as if he had vanished into thin air. There was no word on whether he had succeeded or failed.
Logically speaking, if there is no news for three years, it would be assumed that the mission has failed and the person is dead.
But in "Fairy Tail", no one would think that way about Gildarts, after all, that's Gildarts!
Even if "The Hundred-Year Quest" is terrifying, it shouldn't be so terrifying that Gildarts couldn't return. (Fairy Tail)
Everyone thought so; they had great faith in Gildarts.
Although the older man is indeed a bit unreliable when it comes to love, he is absolutely amazing when it comes to the guild members. To most of the members, he is like a father figure, and everyone is waiting for his triumphant return.
Of course, Uncle Gildarts definitely won't make it in time for this operation.
A few days later, the main forces of "Four-Headed Hound" and "Azure Pegasus" arrived. Guild Master Bob and Guild Master Goldman were very thorough, bringing almost all the elites from their respective guilds.
Moen first arranged for them to rest in the city of Magnolia for a day before having them regroup in the eastern suburban forest the next day.
In the early morning, the mist in the eastern suburban forest had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with the moist scent of earth mixed with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees.
The sturdy oak and birch trees stretched out their branches, casting dappled shadows in the rising sun. The mages from the three guilds gathered in the clearing in the forest, talking amongst themselves.
"We definitely can't be left out of this kind of thing!"
Packas patted his chest, his bare upper body muscles bulging, his voice booming like a bell, looking very much looking forward to the next action. People from another world, he had to have a good spar with them!
"I heard that all of us from the other world have been wiped out. It's really sad. Otherwise, I could have had a chance to talk to him from that world."
He smoothed his meticulously styled sideburns overnight, struck what he thought was a charming pose, and spoke with an affected sadness in his voice. He was still dressed in a flashy white suit with a rose in his pocket. He was clearly a tough guy, but he insisted on going for a pretty boy look, which was really awkward to look at.
"Master, I have compiled all the information you asked me to look up about the ancient Humphera language, and I have written it all down in this notebook."
Xiang Retis quickly approached Moen and respectfully handed him a notebook containing information about "Ancient Humbert".
Moen would never forget the abilities of his cheap apprentice. If he wanted to find any information, he could just hand it over to Hibiki Rettis.
This guy's "Ancient Text Magic" is the best magic search engine; there's nothing he can't find, only things you can't imagine.
"Actually, you could have just sent it to me directly."
Moen took the notebook and complained, "Just use 'telepathic connection' to transmit it through the ancient book, then I won't have to manually organize it anymore."
"Of course, I was quite interested myself, so I took a look. However, this ancient Humberah language is really too obscure and difficult to understand, and there is very little information available. I didn't find much useful information in the ancient books and magic either; there was only this much."
Hibiki Retis scratched his head, feeling that he hadn't completed the mission, mainly because he hadn't found any useful information.
"It's alright, I expected this."
Moen reached out and patted Hibiki Rettis on the shoulder to comfort him. "Ancient Text Magic" is just a search engine and cannot create things out of thin air. For example, the previous "Star Chart History" actually had relevant records in the "Fairy Tail" library and was not made up by "Ancient Text Magic".
As for this "Ancient Humbert language", there is indeed very little information available. Basically, only Fairy Tail and Karel have relevant research materials.
The reason Moen asked Hibiki Retischa was simply to check the answers against the information left by Karel, so that the guy wouldn't try anything funny.
Karel could certainly make up a fake one for Moen on the spot, but what Rhythm Retis's "Ancient Text Magic" found were their most authentic research materials, which could not be faked.
Therefore, this "ancient scripture magic" is indeed very powerful. Its strength is entirely determined by the user's knowledge and understanding of the world. The more you know, the more you can know; the less you know, the less effective it is.
"Is everyone here? When do we leave?"
President Goldman walked through the crowd and came to Moen's side, asking him a question. He was still dressed in his familiar attire, wearing his black hat and sunglasses, making him easily recognizable in the crowd.
"Wait a moment, we'll be leaving shortly."
Moen glanced at the main force and immediately noticed who was missing: Laxus and his "Thunder Legion" had not yet arrived.
However, the crows had already sent word that they were on their way, and Laxus had not refused to participate in the operation.
This is a big step forward. Laxus is indeed gradually integrating into the guild. Although he still has his own stubbornness and ideas, at least he won't stand idly by when the guild is in trouble.
As soon as Moen said "Let's set off immediately," the noise in the forest grew louder as everyone made final checks and adjustments.
A moment later, an invisible pressure suddenly came from the edge of the forest, causing the noise of the crowd to subside. It was Laxus who had brought the "Thunder Gods" over.
Laxus led the way with an imposing presence, followed by Freed, Biggleslow, and Ebagrim. The four of them cut through the loose areas at the edge of the crowd like sharp blades, heading straight to the vicinity of the core members of Fairy Tail.
The four of them stood there, seemingly out of place with the atmosphere around them; in comparison, they were indeed a bit unsociable.
The mages from the three guilds were gathered together in a chaotic manner, chatting and exchanging pleasantries. Because they had been involved in various activities together over the years, the mages from the three guilds had become quite familiar with each other and had even made friends.
Laxus and the "Thunder Clan" rarely even participate in their own guild's activities, so naturally, few people from the other two guilds are familiar with them. The small area where they stand seems to be shrouded in a thin mist called alienation.
