The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

People standing in front of the team could see the wooden stakes inserted at both ends of the river bank, with hemp ropes that had not been cut wrapped around them. There were also several wooden boards and sawdust floating on the river, which had obviously been deliberately broken not long ago.

The leader grabbed the map he bought in the town yesterday and yelled at a loss: "Where is the bridge here?! Where is a bridge that is so long and wide?!"

"It must be those guys who did it!"

"How abominable!"

In this situation, if they or their companions do not have the magic to cross the river by themselves, they will have no choice but to swim if they want to continue moving forward.

A smart person suggested: "Is there anyone here who can use ice magic? If we freeze the river, we can go together?"

At this time, another voice behind him retorted: "Are you an idiot? It's not winter now. The ice formed by our level of magic alone will collapse if we walk together!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"You guys, do you want to fight?"

"Who's afraid of you?"

The two of them started to quarrel as they were talking, and they started fighting. As they were fighting, several people around them were also involved. When they got tired and stopped fighting, they found... The magic stone is missing!

"No! My magic stone is missing! Did you just steal it?!"

"Asshole, you obviously stole my magic stone! Give it back to me!!"

The two angry shouts shocked the people around them, and they all wiped away the place where they had hidden the stone.

The person who touched the stone breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, my magic stone is still there..."

But soon someone shouted again: "Ahhhhh!!! My magic stone is also missing! How could it be?!"

At this time, everyone else could no longer stand. A group of people began to touch their bodies and make a mess. Many people began to quarrel with the people around them, but they forgot about the two people who started the quarrel.

What they didn't know was that all of this was being witnessed by a boy with sharp eyes.

"In my arms...in my sleeves...in my hat...in my bag...hehehehe..."

In the air, on the flying carpet, Kira looked at him with interest. This boy Kira had seen before was the one who called Kenasi Obasan in the examination room yesterday. The boy who just shouted that he had lost his magic stone was the one he had seen before. he.

"You are doing this to find out where others hide the magic stone, right? What will you do next?"

Soon, Kira knew the answer.

Only a small number of people lost the magic stone, and more candidates focused on crossing the river. They originally wanted to send a few people into the water to find out the ambush in the river, but no one was willing to take the lead, and they had to give up the plan in the end.

Then, all kinds of magic showed its magical power.

First, the magicians of the elemental system showed off their magic, building wooden bridges, stone bridges, and ice surfaces to provide convenience for some companions who could not swim; the modeling magic was no less generous, and the roads they created were more stable; in addition, In addition, there are also side methods such as gravity magic and space magic; of course, there are also some people who feel that they are good at swimming and just swim directly.

Just when about a third of the crowd had successfully reached the other side, the ambush appeared.

There were about 300 candidates who were eliminated yesterday, and one-third of them showed up here. This group of little bandits surrounded the candidates who had just crossed the river, shouting loudly!

"Brothers, follow me!!"

"Grab it!!"

In the panic, the candidates' response was subpar. Facing the large number of bandits, some chose to escape, but were quickly overtaken and had no choice but to retreat and group together.

People crossing the river shouted: "Hold on! We will wait until others cross the river..."

At this time, a voice behind him interrupted him: "It's bad! Behind...the people just caught up!!"

At the beginning, there were about 50 people ambushing on the hillside. After the first attack, half of their members were lost, but the number of candidates was also reduced by more than 20 people. The battle situation was quite tragic.

Now they are making a comeback, using the right location to attack from both front and back.

The pursuers behind began to use magic to attack, directly destroying the road on the river, causing the candidates who were crossing the river to fall into the river, and then used magic to beat up the drowned dogs. The candidates had nowhere to draw strength, and due to the geographical influence, they could not show their strength. , can only be beaten passively.

"Hahaha, you are surrounded! Obediently hand over the magic stone!"

The candidate leader made a desperate struggle, wiped cold sweat, and provoked: "Hand it over? There are so many of you, how do you plan to divide them?"

Now less than half of them have crossed the river, and there is a clear gap in the number of candidates. He can only delay.

"This..." Several robbers looked at each other warily and said, "You don't need to worry! We will naturally have a solution."

has hope!

Seeing the looks in their eyes, the candidate leader felt happy and continued: "Although there are many of you, there are also many of us here, so we may not lose if we fight!"

Some candidates realized the team leader's strategy, so they cooperated to delay the time: "That's right, you are just yesterday's losers, a group of losers, how strong can you be even if you join forces? What? You don't accept it? Do you dare to fight me alone? Fight alone? Just use my magic stone as a bet!"

In the crowd, Ika, Akash, Sanmaru, and Rufus remained silent, patiently waiting for the situation to change.

At this time, a voice sounded: "No! Boss! They are stalling for time!"

"What?! Despicable brat, brothers, let's go!"

The delaying strategy failed, and the candidates rose up to resist: "Brothers, we can't let them bully us like this, let's fight!"

The art of fighting once again took effect. The candidates were 50 versus 100, but they were evenly matched with the group of bandits. The remaining people crossed the river and participated in the battle, making the outcome of this second melee even more unpredictable. .

While the two sides were fighting, a short figure that Kira was paying attention to kept moving through the crowd, bumping here, bumping there, stumbling to the left and bumping to the right.

Kira couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is really capable. He probably stole all their magic stones..."

It's a talent!

"I got the 26th piece. Next is you..."

The person he found this time was Ika!

Just when the thief in the examination room was about to bump into Ika, a hand quickly stretched out from the side, grabbed his collar, and then threw him out with a strong force.

"I can pretend I don't know if you stole someone else's magic stone, but if you find my friend, I can't ignore it!"

At the critical moment, Rufus took action to protect Ika's magic stone!

The boy's pupils shrank: "You...what did you say? I can't understand..."

"I've been following you for a long time. Do you use space magic?"

Rufus pressed down the noble hat on his head and said softly, "Just now you deliberately caused a commotion to observe where other candidates hid the magic stones, and then left when those people were attacking. I think you have taken it now You’ve stolen a lot of people’s magic stones, right?”

When the boy was told, he looked a little flustered and hesitantly shouted: "No... no!"

Seeing Rufus' increasingly cold eyes, the boy panicked and quickly got up and ran away.

"What's wrong, Rufus?"

Sanmaru's voice came from behind, and Rufus turned around and smiled softly: "No, it's nothing."

Kira showed a knowing smile in the air...

The battlefield was so chaotic that none of the more than a hundred candidates noticed that a traitor was among them. This traitor was also a thief. He relied on his magic to collect all the clearance certificates that they thought they had hidden.

The battle by the river lasted for a long time. It was exactly noon, the hottest and hungriest time of the day.

The candidates in the resurrection group are waiting for work, and they have no worries about fighting. Anyway, they lost yesterday, and they will gain if they grab it now; in comparison, the candidates in the promotion group who just set off from Hams City today They felt very uncomfortable and had nothing to eat. Some of them had just finished crossing the river, and now they were so weak that they were fighting extremely hard.

Gradually, the group of candidates began to decline, and in the end, less than a quarter of them were left holding on, while the rest were beaten to the ground in a state of panic, resting their tongues midway.

Kira saw that some candidates had already begun to put away their food and ran to the side to eat the lunch boxes they had brought in the morning.

He even saw that some of the candidates' lunch boxes had been mixed up in the fight, and they didn't know how they tasted, but the texture was certainly not good.

Seeing that the winner was about to be decided, the people in the snatching group unexpectedly retreated, which puzzled the candidates.

"Obviously they are about to catch us all, why..."

The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing why the other side easily let themselves and others go, but now they had no time to think about this. The sun was strong, hungry, tired and thirsty, so they chose to rest where they were. When the people below saw that the large army was not moving, they did not dare to leave on their own, so they found an open space to recover their strength.
