Magnolia Town.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild headquarters.
Makarov, who was sitting at the bar reading a newspaper, suddenly sensed something. He looked up and saw Pidgey, which Gar had left behind before leaving, flying in and landing on the bar.
Seeing this, Makarov put down the newspaper in his hand:
"Pidgey."
"Did you find any suspicious individuals?"
Saying this, he activated the mind communication magic that Gar had left behind. Immediately following Pidgey's Growl, it turned into a crisp voice:
"Two people came into the woods."
"They said they wanted to snipe the children in the Guild on the hillside of the eastern forest."
Makarov's expression froze:
"Snipe?"
"Is it Magic firearms?"
Pidgey tilted its head, a little confused:
"I don't know."
"They both carried a long box on their backs."
Makarov nodded, already confirming the guess in his heart:
"It seems so."
There are also such weapons on the Ishgar Continent, but most of them are brought by Magicians who have wandered over from the West Continent.
Because maintenance is very troublesome, they are usually kept in boxes or in space.
They are only taken out during combat.
Looking up at the eastern forest through the window, he frowned:
"Such a long distance..."
I haven't heard of any kind of Magic firearm that can be effective at such a long distance.
Makarov thought for a moment, then looked down at Pidgey on the bar:
"I understand. Please continue to observe them quietly."
"I'll send someone over right away."
Pidgey nodded and then flew out.
Makarov pondered for a moment and called over Ur, who was teaching a group of children in the distance.
Since finding Ultear, the mother and daughter had resolved their misunderstandings and heart knots. Ur, free of burdens, stayed in the Guild every day, teaching this group of children, experiencing the joy of teaching once again.
Ur walked over and said:
"Makarov Guild Master."
Makarov had a headache and waved his hand:
"No need to be so polite, Ur."
"I just received a message."
"In the eastern forest, there are two guys using Magic firearms who want to snipe the children of our Guild there."
"I'd like to ask you to take action and catch them."
Ur's expression changed, with a hint of anger in her tone:
"Sniping children?"
"These Dark Guild guys really have no bottom line."
"Leave it to me."
It's simply endless. These Dark Guild guys kidnap children for experiments, kidnap children to build the R System, and now, unable to win in direct confrontation, they want to assassinate the children in the Guild. It's simply shameless beyond belief.
Makarov nodded and said:
"Later, you'll leave through the back door of the Guild and go around through the lake."
"I'll attract their attention at the Guild entrance."
Makarov made a simple arrangement, and then he and Ur separated to take action.
Ur left through the back door, walked to the lakeside, and directly submerged into the lake, going around the town through the waterway. Meanwhile, Makarov found a deck chair, moved it under the small tree at the Guild entrance, as if preparing for a nap.
A moment later.
On the hillside of the eastern forest.
Two Magicians from an assassination Guild from the West Continent had just found a suitable sniping spot.
Jeremy, the short-haired Magician, was about to set up the sniping point when he heard Beck, the long-haired Magician holding binoculars,
give a light 'tsk'.
Jeremy opened the box and took out the firearm inside:
"What's wrong?"
Beck's mouth curved up as he said:
"It seems the goddess of luck is helping us."
"The Fairy Tail Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, is napping at their Guild entrance."
"What do you say about taking him out with one shot, a Ten Wizard Saints."
"Then the whole world will know our names."
"Won't all future assassination orders come to us?"
Jeremy raised an eyebrow, walked forward with the Magic firearm in his hand, and picked up the binoculars hanging on his chest to look.
Indeed.
In the binoculars, Makarov was sleeping on a deck chair under the small tree not far from the entrance.
Jeremy's heart also stirred for a moment, but he forcefully suppressed the thumping in his chest and said after a moment of silence:
"No."
