Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: The Legendary Portable Grandpa

Guiltina was a continent located to the northwest of Ishgar.

As for Elefseria...

Weston was all too familiar with this name.

He was the founder of the Magic Guild "Magia Dragon," who appeared in the 100 Years Quest arc—

The Law Dragon Slayer Mage!

The man known to possess all the intelligence in the world!

It turned out he was already this old at this point in time...

No wonder Weston felt he looked somewhat familiar at first glance just now.

After knowing the other party's identity, Weston immediately felt relieved.

Elefseria was a very knowledgeable and powerful Mage. Not only could he learn Dragon Slayer Magic on his own, but he could also switch between human and dragon forms at will, maintaining his reason during the process without being consumed by the dragon's wild nature.

From this point of view, his talent was even above that of Irene and Acnologia!

In terms of the breadth of knowledge, perhaps only Zeref in the entire series could surpass him.

Although in the original work, Elefseria only displayed the abilities of "Law Dragon Slayer Magic" and "Space Transportation Magic," it wasn't strange for such a person to be proficient in Super Archive magic.

"Well then, greetings have been exchanged. Let's talk business now."

Hearing this, Weston immediately put on a solemn expression: "Senior, please speak. I am listening."

"Regarding the matter of you invading my magic database..."

No way?

A dignified Law Dragon is going to bicker with a child like me?

While Weston was silently criticizing in his heart, he heard Elefseria change the subject: "...I will not pursue this matter."

"Eh?? You really won't pursue it?"

"Of course!"

Elefseria nodded with a smile: "Your magic's operating mechanism is very exquisite, especially the various 'software,' which are things I have never seen in the past."

"To tell you the truth, my daily life is quite dull and boring. These magic software have added a lot of fun to my life during this period."

During this period...

So you had already moved my software and data over long ago, hadn't you?

One of the abilities of Super Archive was to retrieve memories from the user's brain and generate data to store them.

After awakening his magic, Weston had generated and stored a lot of information from his previous life, such as songs he had heard, movies he had watched, books he had read, games he had played, etc., all into his "Magic Hard Drive."

Usually, he would pull them out to watch or play to kill time.

Sometimes, he would even model characters and scenes from some web novels to create anime shorts.

Unfortunately, the magic technology of this era was not developed enough, so these anime shorts were destined to be enjoyed only within a small range.

As for Elefseria saying his life was boring, Weston wasn't surprised by this.

According to the original work, although he created Magia Dragon to deal with the Six Dragon Gods, because the Six Dragon Gods were too strong, the guild members either died or left, leaving him as a lonely old man in the end.

Presumably, the current Magia Dragon, even if it hadn't fallen apart yet, only had a few small fry left and was of no consequence.

"You invaded my database without even saying hello. This matter can be considered rude, but I also intercepted your data, so we can consider it even."

Hearing this, the corner of Weston's eye twitched slightly.

Then he heard Elefseria continue: "Now, how about we make a deal?"

Weston was stunned: "A deal?"

"I can satisfy your needs, open the magic database permissions to you, and share all the intelligence I have collected over the years with you."

"I can guarantee that this is already the most comprehensive database in the world."

What?!

There's such a good thing?!

"The only condition is..."

"I hope that after you grow up, you will come to Guiltina and do this old man a favor."

Sure enough, there were conditions!

Weston could guess a thing or two about the "favor" Elefseria mentioned.

If nothing unexpected happened, it would be the content of the 100 Years Quest.

"No problem!"

"I can promise you!"

No hesitation was needed.

For Weston, he wouldn't lose out at all in this deal.

"Then it's settled."

"I have activated your permissions. You can access my magic database at any time in the future without worrying about being intercepted."

"By the way, don't delete this chat function. Let's keep in touch often."

"Honestly, having a friend like you to talk to and relieve boredom is quite interesting."

"Goodbye!"

After speaking, Elefseria smiled and waved his hand, closing the video chat.

The air became quiet again.

"So, did I just make an internet friend?"

Looking at the dragon-shaped avatar in the corner of the magic interface, Weston suddenly had a sense of déjà vu that the other party was his "Portable Grandpa."

Sure enough, I am the protagonist!

Beep beep beep...

The sound of the alarm clock interrupted Weston's beautiful fantasy.

"Bad news!"

"It's already this time!"

"I have to hurry and pick up the Young Miss from school!"

With a low cry, Weston flipped off the branch and ran towards the school.

The Tenrou Tree was located in the center of Tenrou Island, and it took ten minutes to get to the school from here.

When Weston arrived at the school sweating profusely, Zera was walking out of the classroom hand in hand with several girls of the same age.

"Phew... looks like I made it in time."

Fortunately, no matter which world it was, children always stayed at school for a while after class to play with their friends before going home.

Zera, the daughter of the Red Lizard Guild Master, was also 6 years old this year, about the same age as Weston.

In the original work, Zera herself died during Blue Skull's raid on Red Lizard.

Perhaps unwilling to admit the death of a peer, or perhaps to avoid loneliness, Mavis subconsciously used her Illusion Magic to create a fake Zera, who accompanied her on Tenrou Island for seven years.

It wasn't until later when Yuri, Precht, and Warrod came to the island in search of the Tenrou Jade and took Mavis away from Tenrou Island to reclaim the Tenrou Jade from Blue Skull that Zera's identity as an "illusion" was revealed.

Because the four of them acknowledged her, the illusionary Zera became one of the original "Fairies."

In the setting, as long as Mavis didn't remember the fact that "Zera died," the illusionary Zera could appear.

So much so that when the guild fought against the Alvarez Empire, she could still "resurrect" and guide everyone in the guild.

In Weston's view, the illusionary Zera possessed an independent personality and thoughts, effectively existing as a Thought Projection, just like the Master of Cait Shelter.

However, an illusion was ultimately an illusion, and the person was ultimately the person.

Compared to the illusion that grew up with Mavis, the real Zera, who was currently still young and regarded as the apple of her father's eye, was still a pampered and arrogant young miss.

Under Weston's gaze, the Young Miss waved goodbye to her classmates and walked towards him, puffing up her cheeks in anger.
