As Mira spoke, Makarov's earlier arrogant and smug expression had long since vanished, replaced by a trembling body and cold sweat streaming down his face. By the time Mira finished speaking—
Bang!
Makarov directly toppled from the table onto the ground. This startled all the surrounding Guild Masters, who immediately gathered around him worriedly. After all, Makarov was almost ninety years old; it wouldn't be good if something happened to him here.
"Makarov!"
"What's wrong with you?! Are you alright?!"
Makarov lay on the ground, his heart in a panic:
"It's over! What kind of mess is this! How did those two get together again? They could really destroy a city!"
"The meeting will end today, and I can go back tomorrow. Please, please don't let anything go wrong during this time!"
Blue Pegasus's Bob blinked, "Makarov, Qi Yan, that must be the legendary child, right?"
Quattro Cerberus's Guild Master Goldmine was also stunned for a moment, then remembered something and said in surprise, "Is it him?!"
Makarov nodded, "It's that brat!"
Goldmine and Bob were both Makarov's friends. The regional meeting, besides being a conference, was also a place for these old men to brag and show off their children.
Makarov, being a bigmouth, had long since boasted about Qi Yan's deeds.
Or rather, there was no need to boast; Qi Yan had done several major things that had shaken the entire continent, it was just that fewer people knew Qi Yan's name and his identity as a Fairy Tail member.
"That's great! I wish my guild also had such capable children!"
"I don't know how Makarov got so lucky to encounter such a little monster."
Bob and Goldmine were both a bit envious and jealous. Although Makarov's children were all troublemakers, there were truly too many talented individuals.
There were as many as six S-Class Mages, each of them extremely capable.
Especially Qi Yan, the things this young man did made even these old guys feel their hearts pound.
Just then, someone ran in.
"Everyone! New news!! New news!!"
"What new news?"
All the Guild Masters were nosy and quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"The train heading our way has been hijacked by the Dark Guild Iron Forest."
"Iron Forest? Those guys are still active!"
"Hijacking a train? What do these guys want to do?!"
Originally, the Iron Forest Guild was also a member of the regional Guild Alliance, but those guys chose to accept assassination-type requests, which was not allowed for legitimate guilds, so they were expelled from the regional Guild Alliance.
"What happened next? How's the situation? Were they caught?"
The messenger nodded, "That's right! They were caught."
"Did the Ancient Knight Order dispatch forces?"
Relying on those armies was impossible. No matter how bad the Iron Forest Guild was, it was still a Mage Guild, not comparable to an army made up of ordinary people.
Especially their current Guild Master, Shinigami Erigor, whose own strength was greater than that of many Guild Masters present.
The messenger shook his head, "No, they were annihilated by one person."
"One person?!"
"One person annihilated an entire guild?!"
"Who is so powerful!"... Many Guild Masters couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Makarov, hearing it was one person, slightly breathed a sigh of relief, as Erza and Qi Yan were two people.
"I heard the scene was very tragic. The members of Iron Forest were either injured or crippled, and even the entire train was shattered. The locomotive was hundreds of meters away from the incident site, as if it had been thrown by someone."
"Tell us quickly! Who was it?! Stop keeping us in suspense!"
"The person who did all this wasn't caught, but according to the captured Iron Forest members, it was done by 'Tyrant'."
"Tyrant?!!"
Tyrant was one of the Mages with the most momentum recently in Ishgar, widely known for his achievement of defeating the Lokus Bandit Group, fighting one against ten thousand.
Bang!!
Makarov, who had just gotten up, fell to the ground again upon hearing that name.
"Makarov!!"
"What's wrong with you?! Quick! Call a doctor!!"
Makarov lay on the ground, looking utterly despondent:
"It's over! It's completely over!!"
****
Magic Council Chamber ERA
Bang!
"It's Fairy Tail again! Destroying half of Hargeon's port last time wasn't enough, and now, after such a short time, they've destroyed another train!! Lawless!! Absolutely lawless!!"
Council Member Ogre looked at the intelligence, fuming with anger. Could Fairy Tail not settle down for a while? They kept causing trouble for the Magic Council Members, who were already fed up with cleaning up Fairy Tail's messes.
Council Member Yakima, a good friend of Makarov, tried his best to speak well of Fairy Tail, saying, "This time, it was for the purpose of eliminating Iron Forest after all…"
Before he could finish, Makarov immediately retorted, "Even if one Iron Forest is removed, it doesn't solve the fundamental problem. Dark Guilds are countless. They went too far this time. Does every Dark Guild eliminated have to cause such great destruction?"
Trains were extremely important means of transportation, with very high value.
"Isn't the main reason Lullaby?"
Iron Forest was a small problem; Dark Guilds were countless, and eliminating one or two was utterly insignificant. The Magic Council had tried to eliminate Dark Guilds before.
As a result, the Dark Guilds' retaliation was very severe, even targeting innocent people, which also led the Magic Council to turn a blind eye to the existence of Dark Guilds.
Otherwise, with the Magic Council's intelligence capabilities, they would be perfectly clear about the locations of Dark Guilds like Iron Forest.
"Yes, if anyone uses Zeref's Magic again in the future, we won't be able to handle it."
At this moment, Lullaby had transformed back into a flute and was sealed away.
"It's strange, how could such powerful Magic be so easily obtained by someone?"
"The responsibility will apparently have to be traced to the management."
Lullaby was originally sealed by the Magic Council, which was also responsible for managing these forbidden items. If a forbidden item was lost, it was naturally their responsibility.
Siegrain said, "This time, we owe it to Fairy Tail, who usually makes people avoid them, for stepping in to help."
Ultear lightly chuckled, covering her mouth with her sleeve, "To defeat an entire guild with just one person's strength, truly worthy of the legendary 'Tyrant,' how remarkable."
"Hmm…"
As some of the most powerful individuals in Ishgar's Magic world, they naturally knew the identity of 'Tyrant'.
"Although you don't want to admit it, it's a fact. If Lullaby had succeeded this time and all the Guild Masters were killed, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Shouldn't everyone put aside their prejudices and praise them?"
"…"
No one said a word. Praising Fairy Tail, who caused them trouble every day, felt as unpleasant as swallowing a fly.
