Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 116 Disappointed Lucy

Chapter 117 Disappointed Lucy (Please subscribe!)

Voltava seems to be a pretty pure musician; he doesn't seem to care much about money, at least he didn't mention it to Moen.

When Moen specifically asked about tuition fees, Voltava even gave Moen a very serious reprimand:

"Passing on knowledge and skills depends mainly on fate, not money. If there is no fate, I will not teach someone no matter how much money is offered. Everything else can be discussed, but this is the only thing that cannot be measured by money."

With the air of a master, Voltava spoke words that made Jud nod repeatedly, his face showing a very approving expression.

"."

Moen fell silent. He figured the main reason Old Man Voltava could say something like that was because he wasn't short of money.

If I'm really short of money, if I'm really starving, I won't do this kind of art anymore. I'll still teach, I'll make money, there's no shame in that.

"Mr. Lazio would also like to invite you to give another concert in Magnolia. I wonder if you have any plans to do so?"

Moen asked, though he was internally complaining. Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud. Let the old man show off if he wants to. That's just his taste, artists.

"Of course, no problem. I'd love to. I'll probably be holding concerts in Magnolia a lot in the future. I'm getting old and don't want to travel around anymore. Settling down in Magnolia is a good idea. At least Fairy Tail is there, so it should be safe there."

Voltava replied with a smile that he had actually considered settling down in Magnolia.

This surprised Moen. Moen had inquired about the old man before. He was like a bard, traveling all over the Kingdom of Fiore. When he was young, he had also traveled to other countries. He was obviously a man who couldn't sit still.

Moen hadn't expected the old man to stay in Magnolia for long, and was planning to start studying intensively as soon as he got back. But it turns out he wants to settle down here, which saves him some trouble.

As for whether Magnolia is safe or not, it needs to be viewed dialectically.

When there is an external threat, Fairy Tail is the city's safety guarantee; when there is no external threat, Fairy Tail is the city's greatest threat.

But in Moen's opinion, Magnolia is still much safer than other places. With Fairy Tail around, at least there won't be any messy things happening. As long as you're careful around Fairy Tail, you'll be fine.

"That's wonderful! My home isn't far from Magnolia's, so I can go listen to the maestro's performances more often!"

Jiude reacted quickly and immediately echoed with a comment.

"How about this, I will personally fund a concert hall in Magnolia, exclusively for Maestro Vltava's use, and all the proceeds from the concert hall will belong to the Maestro personally."

Having already decided to get on board with "Fairy Tail," Jude made the investment without hesitation. Voltava wasn't worth it, but Moen was.

Moen and Voltava both looked at Jiude in surprise. Moen was quite impressed, thinking that Jiude's mind really worked fast.

In fact, the cost of sponsoring a concert hall is nothing to Jiude.

Money is nothing more than a string of numbers to Jiude now; he has almost lost the concept of money altogether.

The important thing is that he was able to think of this, and he was willing to put his heart into it, which shows that he really cares.

"Then I'll feel ashamed."

After his initial surprise, Vltava readily accepted it.

"."

Moen was speechless. This old man's motto was "If you're willing to give it to me, I'll accept it," and he really didn't stand on ceremony at all.

"Then it's settled!"

Jiude happily gave the approval, and he immediately called people over to make arrangements, acting with swift and decisive efficiency.

"Mr. Jiude, then we'll take our leave."

The deal was settled, and Moen was about to return immediately. He would first go with Voltava to pack his luggage, and then head back to Magnolia.

"No! Stay and have a meal before you leave."

Jiude warmly stopped the two of them, offering to arrange a family dinner.

"My daughter is here too. She loves celestial spirits and is a little celestial spirit mage. It would be wonderful if she could get guidance from two masters who use celestial spirit magic."

With a smile on his face, Jiude spoke of his daughter. It wasn't surprising that his daughter was a Celestial Spirit Mage; she had probably followed in her mother's footsteps. After all, Lady Leila was an excellent Celestial Spirit Mage, and this type of magic was relatively easy to pass down through families.

"Maybe another time. I won't bother you today, Mr. Jiude. There will be plenty of time in the future."

Moen shook his head. Putting aside the fact that he didn't have much to teach others, he also didn't have the mind to teach anyone right now. His mind was focused on learning the harp.

Voltava stood by, smiling but not saying a word, seemingly letting Moen arrange things as he pleased. The old man had a sense of contentment with his lot, not competing or vying for anything, which gave him a sense of tranquility and serenity.

"That's good. Let's get Master Vltava's affairs settled first."

Seeing that Moen insisted on refusing, Jiude did not force him. Moen's words were quite pleasing to him. There was plenty of time in the future, which showed that Moen was very confident in cooperating with the Heartfilia Foundation. This was what Jiude cared about most right now.

"Farewell, I will send word as soon as possible."

Moen bid farewell to Jude, and Voltava followed suit.

"Waiting for good news."

Jude bowed to the two men, showing them the utmost respect. Mohn was key to whether his railroad empire could open up the southern market, so he certainly deserved to be treated with the utmost respect.

Moen and Voltava left the headquarters of the Hatfilia Consortium in a carriage arranged by Jude. In most areas, carriages remain the primary mode of transportation.

Trains have been promoted and are very practical, but at present they only connect major cities. For daily transportation, horse-drawn carriages are still the main mode of transport. As for magical cars, even mages would find them extremely expensive to use, so they are not very practical at present.

"The Rose Goddess, Sherlock Holmes, Moen D'Or, Fairy Tail."

After Moen and Voltava left, Jude was still thinking about Moen. As he was thinking, he went to his private lounge, where a blonde girl in a dress was waiting for him with an expectant look on her face.

"Dad! Where is Mr. Moen Dole?"

Seeing Jiude come in, the little girl immediately went over and asked expectantly. Lucy was very happy to learn that her father had gone to receive Mr. Moen. She hadn't seen him outside, but she didn't expect Mr. Moen to come looking for her!

"Hmm? Are you interested in this Moen?"

Jiude looked surprised, and then he saw the book in his daughter's hand.

"You read his book 'Sherlock Holmes' too? I should have mentioned it earlier, he's already gone."

Jiude shook his head. He was so focused on Lucy being a Celestial Spirit Mage that he forgot to mention she was also a fan of "Sherlock Holmes." Even if she wasn't, he could have made her one.

"."

Lucy's expression visibly turned to disappointment. She gripped the book in her hands tightly; she had been reading this book at home all this time, and even Uncle Delphi had noticed.

"You can read here. Dad has things to do. Don't come over again next time. Just stay home."

After a brief meeting, Jiude left immediately. He was busy all day long, and sometimes he didn't even go home. No wonder Lucy had to come to the conglomerate headquarters to find him.

Having just lost her mother, and then her father seemingly disappearing as well, Lucy was left with only her doll for company.

No, there are also books and Celestials. Reading has become an important way for Lucy to pass the time and relieve her emotions. She herself also loves reading. As soon as "Sherlock Holmes" was published, Lucy couldn't put it down and flipped through it again and again.

Lucy also has many stories in her mind, all told to her by her deceased mother, Leila, and Lucy is recording those stories.

She was afraid she would forget those precious memories left to her by her mother.

Sometimes Lucy wondered if she could compile and publish the stories her mother told her. But she didn't know if she had that ability.

Therefore, Lucy really wanted to talk to a real writer, especially one who wasn't much younger than her.

Lucy was extremely disappointed after missing several opportunities. She silently vowed to find a chance to see Mr. Mohn!

Fairy Tail

Thinking of Moen, Lucy naturally thought of "Fairy Tail". Last time, she suddenly wanted to go find her father at night, but she had an accident on the way. Her horse was suddenly frightened, and a "Fairy Tail" mage saved her.

She didn't see who saved her, but she did see the pink "Fairy Tail" stamp on the back of her right hand. From then on, the name "Fairy Tail" was engraved in her heart.

A member of Fairy Tail, a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage, and a wildly popular young bestselling author—Moon's labels almost perfectly match all of Lucy's preferences, so it's perfectly normal for her to idolize the suddenly emerging Moon.

Moen does the same things Lucy wants to do. Apart from the difference in gender, Moen is like the best version of herself in Lucy's eyes.

Moen, of course, was unaware that he had missed meeting Lucy. He did not know the name of Jude's daughter, nor did he ask Lucy's surname when he last met her in the future.

The blame lies with the system for not including Lucy's full name, and also with the Heartfilia family's strong genes. Apart from the blonde hair, Jude and Lucy don't look very similar, but the problem is that the blonde hair wasn't inherited from Jude either.

"All packed, let's go."

In front of the hotel where Vltava was staying, the old man was traveling light, with little luggage and only a harp by his side.
