Chapter 225 Opening the door to the solar eclipse (fourth update)

Egwene, Layla and Gramme are walking on the stairs...

Not long after, the three of them reached the end of the stairs. What caught their eyes were huge statues and a temple-like architectural style that exuded endless sacred atmosphere!

At the end of the rows of facing statues, there is a huge door exuding ancient atmosphere and powerful magic.

Just standing there, that door exudes an endless sense of oppression...

After all, this door is big enough for an adult dragon to pass through. You can imagine how huge it is...

"Let's go~"

Yiwen looked at the countless statues in front of her, the mysterious door, and a figure hiding beside the door. She narrowed her eyes slightly and then walked towards the door.

"Lei, Miss Leila, this is..."

Compared to Ewen, who was calm and composed, Grame was indescribably shocked at the moment. She looked at the sculpture and the huge door and felt that she was extraordinarily small. Even looking at these huge things gave Grame a feeling of excitement.

Macrophobia.

"It's okay Grame~"

Layla stroked Grame's arm and comforted Grame gently.

"Um."

After being comforted by Layla, Grame gradually calmed down. Together with Layla, she passed through the countless statues and walked towards the huge door.

When Layla and Grame were moving forward, Ewen had already arrived in front of the huge eclipse door. After looking up and down at the perfect work of art in front of him, he turned to look at a person hiding in the corner.

The figure said softly: "Come out! I have found you."

"Haha, you are indeed the mage of Fairy Tail. I admire your observation skills."

After Yiwen finished speaking, the short figure that had been hiding in the shadow of the corner came out. As the figure came into the light, the full view of the short figure also appeared in Yiwen's eyes.

"Haha, I didn't expect that His Majesty the King of Fiore Kingdom would actually know about our Fairy Tail Magister Guild. I'm really flattered~"

Yiwen looked at the middle-aged man in front of her who was wearing a luxurious dress, short but dignified, with a vicissitudes of life and a serious face, and his hair seemed to be gray due to overwork, and she smiled in a neither humble nor arrogant way.

In fact, Ewen had already recognized the identity of the man in front of her. This middle-aged man was none other than the current king of the Kingdom of Fiore, Thomas E. Fiore...

But Ewen didn't expect that Old Thomas would be waiting for them in front of the Eclipse Gate in advance, and he seemed to know him.

"Young man, I recognize the symbol on the back of your hand. After all..."

Old Thomas looked at the symbol on the back of Ewen's hand and frowned.

"Um?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yiwen also frowned. He was wondering if there was something about Fairy Tail that had offended His Majesty the King in front of him.

"After all, my favorite weekly magazine is watching your Fairy Tail Tournament! Sure enough, magisters still have to fight and compete with each other~"

"By the way, I plan to hold a magic fighting competition at the level of Ishgar continent! I wonder if you are interested in participating?!"

At this moment, Old Thomas, the king of the Kingdom of Fiore, seemed to have seen a fan and looked at Ewen asking endless questions.

[Unexpected mission: Participating in the Ishgar continent-level magic fighting performance will reward you with a ten-year mission medal.]

Yiwen originally planned to refuse, until the voice of the system mission rang in his mind. Although Yiwen also wanted to refuse, who let this old guy, Thomas, tempt him with the Medal of Renxun~

"As long as you are not afraid that we will tear down the capital, we will stay with you until the end!"

Yiwen took back the words she had originally prepared and looked at Old Thomas speaking softly.

"Very good……"

After listening to Yiwen's words, Old Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was afraid that Fairy Tail's people would not participate. With Yiwen's guarantee, he felt somewhat confident. After all, although others may not know clearly,

But he knew Yiwei. In order to better watch the weekly Fairy Tail Arena competition, he specifically asked the Magic Council to introduce him to all the magisters registered in Fairy Tail...

Therefore, Old Thomas knew the status of Egwene Belserion in the Fairy Tail Guild, and even the entire continent of Ishgar.

Old Thomas still remembers what Representatives Yajma and Rob said about Ewen at that time: "Although Ewen is very young, even if all the other ten Holy Magisters currently in service are put together, they may not be able to fight."

If you can beat him, Egwene Berserion, he can already be called the highest magister in the entire continent of Ishgar..."

In fact, what Yajima said is true. With Ewen's current strength, only Serena, the God at his peak, can cause him some trouble...

But given the current time period, Serena still doesn’t know how many of the eight dragon-slaying magic crystals she has collected~

"By the way, do you know what preparations are needed to hold the competition?"

Thomas seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yiwen for advice.

"Ah, this..."

Ewen was silent after listening to Thomas's words. It was difficult for him to answer this question. In their Fairy Tail, a game often only requires two people who dislike each other. In other cases, even the venue is not enough.

unnecessary.

But this answer was obviously very unprofessional, so Yiwen chose to remain silent.

"Your Majesty Thomas~"

Just when Toma was asking questions about Egwene like a true Fairy Tail fan, Layla and Gramme finally walked to the door.

"call……"

In response to this, Yiwen slowly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he looked at Leila and Grame, who were wearing formal dresses, with a hint of helplessness on their expressions. They were so gorgeously dressed that it was certainly difficult to walk.

"Ahem, um, you are Layla of the Heartfilia family, right? I already know the details..."

Old Thomas staged a show in front of Ewen, what is called "Sichuan Opera Face Changing". Old Thomas, who originally looked like a fan when looking at Ewen, immediately tightened his cheeks and his expression became serious after Leila arrived.

He stood up, with a bit of majesty in his eyebrows. After all, his old Thomas was the king. It didn't matter if he didn't have any airs in front of the strongest magician in the world. In front of Heartfilia, a business family, he should be majestic.

, otherwise we won’t be able to convince the public.

Unfortunately, what Old Thomas doesn't know is that Leila is also a powerful magician, and in terms of star spirit magic, Leila can be said to be the best in the entire Ishgar continent, and even the entire world.

The Celestial Spirit Mage is more powerful than Layla.

"Since you already know, I won't say more..."

Facing the vaguely arrogant old Thomas, Leila just smiled and said nothing more.

"However, although I have understood that you need this door, I still want to tell you the specifics. The Eclipse Door is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our Fiore family, but in fact even if

Even our Fiore family doesn't know what this treasure is used for, and we haven't even been able to open it yet..." When Old Thomas said this, he paused, with a trace of confusion in his expression.

"Every generation of us has actually studied the door of the solar eclipse, but the final result is that the door in front of us may be just a statue, a door that can never be opened! So you can give it a try, but don't hold it in your arms.

Thoughts that will definitely open this door."

Old Thomas was actually enlightening Leila. After all, Leila spent so much money and energy asking him to borrow the Eclipse Gate, but in the end she couldn't open it. How devastated would Leila's heart be?

Thomas knew it even if he didn't want to, so before Leila tried to open the door of the solar eclipse, old Thomas told the ugly things in front of him, so that Leila didn't have to feel too much pressure.

"I see……"

"Thank you for your enlightenment and comfort."

Layla smiled after listening to Old Thomas's words, and then walked directly in front of Ewen.

"This is His Majesty Thomas, King of the Kingdom of Fiore. When His Majesty lent us the Eclipse Gate, he attached a condition, that is, he hoped that when we opened the door, he could also be there to observe...

"

Layla told Egwene why old Thomas was waiting for them in front of the Eclipse Gate.

"I see."

After listening to Leila's words, Yiwen nodded lightly and said no more.

In fact, Egwene didn't care at all whether Thomas was present when she opened the Eclipse Gate, and Egwene vaguely remembered that in the original book, Thomas was also present when Layla opened the Eclipse Gate.

"Huh..." Layla slowly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ewen didn't care. She retreated to Gramey, looked at her maid Gramey and said with a smile: "Grammy is ready to mark the time."

"Okay, Miss Layla."

After listening to Layla's words, Grame took out a magic pocket watch. The time was marked on the pocket watch. As the minute and second hands of the pocket watch continued to rotate, time passed slowly minute by minute, and Grame was like this.

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the pocket watch in her hand. It was clear that she had set the time, but she was still uneasy, fearing that the pocket watch would suddenly malfunction, so she watched the passage of time with her naked eyes.

As for Layla, at this moment, she placed the thirteen keys to the twelve houses of the desert island in front of her, knelt on the ground, closed her eyes and rested, adjusting the magic power in her body for the last moment when time came.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, and with the continuous consumption of time, both Grame and Thomas E. Fiore, the king of the Kingdom of Fiore, held their breath nervously.

Only Egwene and Layla still maintained a calm attitude.

"Dingle bell bell~"

As the last minute passed slowly, the time on the pocket watch in Gramey's hand came to 0:00:00, and the alarm clock suddenly rang.

"It's now……"

Gramey turned to Layla and spoke softly.

"Shine! Stars and spirits of the zodiac!!"

Layla clasped her hands together and whispered softly to the thirteen keys of the zodiac stars in front of her.

The next second...

Accompanied by bursts of dazzling light, the thirteen keys instantly emitted bright brilliance, setting towards the huge solar eclipse door in front of them...

At the same time, over the Kingdom of Fiore, the full moon with soft light was suddenly obscured by endless shadows, and waves of unknown magic shrouded the sky over the Kingdom.
