Card Master in Fairy Tail

In the wind and snow.

The train named [Exploding Track·Sky Horse] is speeding through the sky.

In the front section of the train, the mechanical knights and mechanical horses acting as power emit amazing heat, evaporating and solidifying the cold air into temporary ice tracks. After the carriage passes, the tracks turn into freezing points and fall to the earth.

Different from the ice and snow outside, there is a different scene inside the train carriage.

The exquisite carpets, soft lighting, comfortable temperature, and a steaming pot of hot pot are in sharp contrast to the white snow outside the carriage.

The soup base in the pot is piping hot, the various ingredients are tumbling, and the spiciness and aroma are mixed together, which greatly increases your appetite.

You Xuan put a plate of fresh mutton into the pot. In just a few seconds, You Xuan picked up the tender mutton with a slotted spoon and placed it in a dish full of seasonings.

You Xuan took a big bite of the mutton and nodded with satisfaction, "In the middle of winter, hot pot is indeed the most heart-warming."

"It's indeed good." Makarov's face turned slightly red from the heat, and he kept fanning his mouth with his hands, "You Xuan, pour me an ice glass of water."

"Little old man, don't be upset for a while." You Xuan glanced at Makarov unhappily and left the task to himself. After seeing Yu Xuan's luxurious train, he actually got on the train shamelessly.

After handing Makarov a glass of milk, Yu Xuan looked helplessly at the people in the carriage, "By the way, why are there so many people..."

A three-person team of Natsu, Lucy, and Happy;

The "exorcist" team temporarily formed by Silver, Gray, and Juvia;

Irene, Erza, Wendy, and Xia Lulu are out for some fun.

In order to keep Urrutia, Mira, and Kana away from Timaria, a girl-loving guy, Yu Xuan also called them together.

Plus a Freya.

There were actually fourteen people on this trip, plus two cats.

But then You Xuan thought about it, more people means more fun. Looking at the three dragon slayer wizards sitting at a table, You Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Forget it about Natsu and Wendy, a powerful dragon slayer like Irene could actually faint on a vehicle. Doesn't that mean that Acnologia is also dizzy with transportation.

It's a pity that there is no chance for Yu Xuan to experiment.

Yu Xuan waved a plate of meat in front of Natsu's eyes. "Oh, Natsu, why don't you come to eat hot pot? Do you not like it?"

Facing Yu Xuan's knowing question, Natsu, who was motion-sick, was dizzy and unable to refute.

Seeing the uncomfortable Natsu, Yu Xuan did not continue to tease him out of conscience. He comforted Natsu and then turned to look at Irene who was suppressing the discomfort.

"Cough cough."

Erza's sudden cough made Yu Xuan feel Ruoyouruowu's warning. It seemed that Erza had slowly accepted Irene.

You Xuan looked at Wendy at the end and sighed. Is he a child bully?

Bored Yu Xuan returned to the table and filled his lost fun with food.

[Exploding Orbital and Soaring Pegasus] is very fast. It takes one meal to cross the Kingdom of Fiore, and the Village of the Sun is right in front of you.

Freya straightened her long red hair. Less than a year after she ran away from home, the beatings from society made Freya miss the giants who cared for her.

Mira helped Freya braid the braids, "Freya, are you happy to go home?"

Freya nodded slightly, unable to hide the smile on her face.

In fact, Freya was adopted by the giants in the Village of the Sun, and the giants always treated her as their daughter. It's just that Freya hated herself because she was different from the giants, so she ran away from home.

As the [Exploding Orbital Pegasus] landed smoothly, Habi and Xia Lulu immediately took Natsu and Wendy out of the carriage.

"Oh! What a big house!"

Sure enough, Natsu's excited voice sounded outside the carriage, and he immediately regained his energy after leaving the vehicle.

You Xuan looked out through the window. A village with many huge houses appeared in You Xuan's eyes, but the strange thing was that You Xuan did not see the giants living here.

Everyone got out of the car one after another and stepped into the gate of the village.

"Everyone! I'm back!"

Freya shouted excitedly, but no one responded.

In the past, the giants would have welcomed Freya in succession, but at this moment, only the howling cold wind blew on Freya's face.

Yin frowned. Through ice magic, he roughly saw the current situation of Sun Village. "There is no one in the village, or people have left for a while."

Makarov released the magic of enlargement. He originally wanted to greet the giants with his enlarged body.

"Freya, do you have any special festivals?" Lucy asked Freya. No one in the village was here. Lucy felt that only important things would be like this.

Freya shook her head, "Our important festival is only the day to worship the 'Eternal Flame', but the 'Eternal Flame' is in the village..."

Speaking of this, Freya suddenly realized something and said in a panic: "No! The flames of the 'Eternal Flame' should be visible outside the village. Why didn't we see it!?"

After hurriedly leading everyone to the altar where the "Eternal Flame" was located, Freya looked at the empty square, and an ominous premonition enveloped her heart.

Based on Freya's understanding of the giants, they would never disrespect the "Eternal Flame" that protects the village.

But now that the "Eternal Flame" protecting the village has disappeared, and the giants are nowhere to be seen, Freya feels that the sky is falling at this moment. Even when the raven's tail was abused, Freya has never been so desperate.

Yu Xuan cast a questioning look at Urrutia. Urrutia nodded and cast time magic.

"The Arc of Time·Yesterday's Chapter."

In Urrutia's eyes, some past fragments about the "Eternal Flame" altar began to emerge. The exchange with Timaria benefited Urrutia a lot, and he further developed his magic. Now the "Arc of Time" can read the time in recent days.

Soon, Urrutia saw a figure in the past fragment that did not belong here.

It was a bearded man with a scar on the right side of his face, holding a dark red dragon-shaped scepter in his hand. A group of giants followed behind the bearded man. The giants' eyes were covered in red light, as if they were under some kind of magic.

The bearded man laughed and took away the "Eternal Flame" with the dragon-shaped scepter, and led the giants out of the village.

Urrutia happens to have information about the bearded man - Chai Xiu Ken, the former minister of state of the Kingdom of Fiore. A man with great ambitions. When he was in the Devil's Heart, Urrutia had considered using Chai Xiu to break into the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Fiore.

Unfortunately, Chai Xiu's intention to rebel was discovered and he had to flee the Kingdom of Fiore, causing Urrutia to give up the idea at that time.

And now Chai Xiu actually returned to the Kingdom of Fiore despite a wanted order. It seemed like there was something that made him willing to take such a big risk.

Urrutia felt that Chai Xiu's risky behavior was inseparable from the scepter.
