Drake looked at the invitation, his expression becoming serious.
The Grand Magic Games, a grand festival held by the Fiore Kingdom, inviting all the mage guilds in the kingdom to compete with magic, vying for the honor of the kingdom's number one guild.
Of course, the kingdom wasn't just idle and created such a festival. The cause of the incident was still on Fairy Tail.
After the Tenrou Island incident broke out, the kingdom learned that Zeref was still alive in this world.
Then the people of the kingdom had a considerable sense of crisis, afraid that the legendary black mage would destroy the world again at some point.
But on the one hand, they couldn't find Zeref's whereabouts, and on the other hand, they didn't have the confidence to defeat Zeref.
So who knew what big brain came up with a method, which was that they could use the Eclipse Gate to travel back to the past and kill the still weak Zeref.
Well... not to mention the feasibility of this plan, the Eclipse Gate was made by Zeref. These people were quite imaginative.
But opening the Eclipse Gate required two conditions: one was the golden keys of the twelve zodiacs, and the other was an unimaginable amount of magic power.
The zodiac keys were scattered all over the place, with more than half still on Lucy, being sealed on Tenrou Island with her. These people did have confidence in Fairy Tail, being certain that they would be fine.
As for the second point, that was the purpose of the kingdom holding the Grand Magic Games.
The magic power released when the major guilds used magic during the competition was collected to open the Eclipse Gate.
And in the original story, it had been collected for a full seven years. Only after Lucy and the others had broken the seal of Fairy Sphere and participated in that year's Grand Magic Games did the Eclipse Gate open.
But the correct way to use the Eclipse Gate was for two celestial mages to open it at different points in time, only then could they successfully communicate with different time and space.
The incorrect way of opening it, coupled with the Dragon King Festival that special day of magical power mutation, leading to the Eclipse Gate connected to four hundred years ago the dragon ruled the era.
Ten thousand dragons rushed out of the Eclipse Gate, resulting in Fairy Tail's annihilation, only Lucy survived.
Bearing the despair, Lucy used the Eclipse Gate to travel back to the Grand Magic Games, closing the Eclipse Gate. But did not expect the Black Dragon Acnologia followed, again leading to a dark future.
And Rogue in order to change all this learning the Dragon Slayer magic, but Acnologia is immune to all magic of the Dragon King, Rogue simply can not control him.
So Rogue also traveled through the Eclipse Gate, intending to open the Eclipse Gate to release the ten thousand dragons, and then use the Dragon Slayer magic to control them to fight against Acnologia.
Of course, had closed the Eclipse Gate of Lucy became the future Rogue's stumbling block.
So Rogue deceived Fiore Kingdom princess, eventually killed the future Lucy and successfully opened the Eclipse Gate.
Although later Lucy and another celestial mage Yukino joined hands to close the Eclipse Gate, but still released the seven dragons.
In Ultear sacrificed their time to win the opportunity, Natsu successfully defeated the future Rogue and destroyed the Eclipse Gate, which will not belong to this time and space of the dragon and people sent back.
Drake recalled these intelligence, while also some distressed.
Time this thing even he can not grasp all the rules.
Because of themselves, the plot has been changed a lot, Drake is not sure how the situation will develop. But two Lucy are appeared in the same time and space, the time paradox no longer exists.
This plot the most confusing is the Eclipse Gate is really through the time or through to another time point different parallel time and space.
The original story because all the people of the struggle, has avoided that the worst future. But the future Lucy and the future Rogue still came to the past.
This makes people really can not determine the Eclipse Gate this thing's principle. Zeref this guy made out of things is really as always outrageous.
Drake has a hunch, some things are inevitable. Seven years later, the Dragon King Festival is likely to not be very peaceful.
But what Drake can do is to do a good job of all the preparation, absolutely not let that the worst future to happen.
Sting saw Drake's expression dignified, opened his mouth and said: "Drake, how? Is the Grand Magic Tournament has a problem?"
Drake shook his head and said: "Nothing, just the Grand Magic Tournament is to compete for the kingdom's first guild, we can not lose!"
Sting bent his arm to make a show off muscles posture, opened his mouth and said: "That is of course, we were originally Fiore Kingdom first guild, because we are Fairy Tail!"
Drake a smiled: "Said right, we are Fairy Tail!
Grand Magic Tournament in a month to start, then start preparing it. Sting you are, if you are surpassed by others but will be even the field can not get on the oh!"
Sting pulled up Rogue said: "Then can not waste time, Rogue accompany me to special training it!"
Drake a smile, began to plan the next thing.
Grand Magic Tournament is still to go, on the one hand this first guild's name can not let to others, not to mention there are 30 million J of the championship prize money.
Fairy Tail's finances have been quite tight, after all, at home that a few problem children out of a mission, to pay the fine than the commission is also high.
So the original story Tenrou Team was sealed after, Fairy Tail because of debt directly declined.
Drake before also almost desperately did a few high-level tasks to block the financial loopholes.
But even so, Fairy Tail is now still live tight-lipped. Not when the family do not know Makarov more hard, Drake on self-confessed housekeeping skills can not match the old man.
That thirty million J's prize money Drake can not let go, and the champion's rewards are far more than that.
Kingdom's first mage guild, that is not only a title, but also represents a lot of benefits. For example, you can receive more high-quality commission, after all, can choose the first everyone will not pay attention to the second.
And Drake also wants to check the Eclipse Gate's situation, some preparations or to do early.
Since decided the goal is the first, naturally also to this end to work hard for a bit.
In order to collect as much magic power as possible, the Grand Magic Tournament tests the strength of the entire guild, which is the team's comprehensive strength.
Now the guild's members can be put on the table is also Drake new pull down the guild of the three people.
Including Drake and Stella, it will be able to put together a main team.
But this team, Sting, Rogue and Kagura three people are far less than the original story seven years later the strength.
For mages, magic is indeed a strong and not important factors, but the most fundamental is still magic power.
But magic power this thing is difficult to take shortcuts, can only rely on constantly honing the spirit, exercise the body, deepen the understanding of magic in order to become stronger.
This is also the original Tenrou Team returned, because of the seven-year gap led to the strength of the backward reasons.
But other guilds are also the same, should also not reach the peak. What's more, Drake also put their future pillars to their side.
For getting the championship Drake still has a certain degree of confidence, of course, pre-match special training is inevitable.
In addition to their side, but also to explore the other guild's intelligence, how much to achieve the basic know yourself and know your enemy.
Really, the president what to worry about things are really many. Drake has begun to miss Makarov.
