"Yes."
"Yes, sir."
"We guarantee to complete the task you assigned."
"Please, do not kill us."
"In fact, it was Brain who forced us to do this."
After Brain was instantly killed by Id with a single slash, this group of 'Bureau of Magical Development' staff already regarded Id as a plague god absolutely not to be provoked.
So when Id spoke, they nodded repeatedly like quails, afraid that Id would tear them into pieces.
"Cut the crap!"
"Get to work!"
Id interrupted their pleas for mercy and urged.
"Okay!"
"Right away!"
The group of minions dared not talk nonsense anymore and scrambled towards the huge 'Bureau of Magical Development' behind them.
Thus, under Id's supervision, one child after another who had been trafficked by Brain was sent out of the development bureau safe and sound by the staff.
"Id, I have reported the situation of the 'Bureau of Magical Development' to the Magic Council."
"Later, the Council will send people specialized in dealing with 'Black Magic Cults' to meet us."
Ur stood beside Id, gently holding his hand, and said in a solemn voice.
Yes, this was no longer a simple case of the 'Bureau of Magical Development' Chief falling from grace; it had clearly escalated to the level of a 'Black Magic Cult' usurping the power of the 'Bureau of Magical Development'.
"Hmm?"
After holding Ur's hand, Id's expression paused noticeably. He could feel that Ur's hand was trembling faintly.
This made Id turn around immediately, only to see Ur leaning on his shoulder with tears streaming down her face. Her eyes held regret, and she said in a fearful voice, "It's fortunate that you discovered Brain's true colors in time, Id! Otherwise, our daughter would probably have become a test subject for the 'Bureau of Magical Development', right?"
"I really am an incompetent mother."
"I almost let Ultear, this child, fall into a desperate situation."
Ur was trembling faintly all over with unease. She couldn't imagine how much pain and despair she would have felt if she had really been deceived by that bastard Brain and handed her daughter over as a test subject.
"Ur, the future you worry about didn't happen, did it?"
"As long as I am here, I will absolutely not let our daughter fall into danger."
Id pulled Ur into his arms to stop her trembling and spoke with confidence and composure.
"Mhm."
Comforted by Id, Ur gradually regained her confidence and was no longer fearful or uneasy.
Yes, she wasn't alone now; she could rely on Id for everything.
About an hour later.
"Boom!"
Accompanying an ear-piercing roar, a super-large flying magical vehicle bearing the emblem of the 'Magic Council' hovered above the heads of Id, Ur, and the others.
"Buzz!!"
Before long, this flying vehicle belonging to the 'Magic Council' slowly landed in front of Id and Ur.
Before Id and Ur could say much, the door of the aircraft was pushed open forcefully. A spirited middle-aged man with graying short hair, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, rushed out of the vehicle.
"Apologies, I'm late."
"I am Magic Council Member Toki."
"Also the Warden of the Grand Magic Prison, BLACKVOX."
"Leave these bastards who have committed many evils to me."
The seemingly ordinary middle-aged man before them was one of the nine current members of the Magic Council.
At the same time, he was Toki, a member with real power responsible for the Grand Magic Prison, BLACKVOX.
"Ur."
"Id."
Facing the man who claimed to be a Council member, Ur and Id naturally introduced themselves and then subconsciously exchanged glances.
With the precedent of the 'Bureau of Magical Development' Chief Brain, Ur was now even more cautious and careful, daring not to easily trust anyone other than Id.
"Mhm."
In response, Id nodded slightly to Ur without batting an eyelid. The moment Toki arrived, he had already probed him with Observation Haki.
With the help of Observation Haki, Id confirmed that the person before them was a genuine member of the 'Magic Council', and he was upright, full of a sense of justice, and hated evil.
"Will you be responsible for sending these children back?"
After confirming that there were no issues with Toki, Id asked him.
"Of course."
"I will personally hand over all the children here to their parents one by one."
Toki answered with a firm gaze.
There were at least hundreds of children here. From finding information about the children to sending them home, it would probably take several years, and that was assuming the work went smoothly.
But as a member of the 'Magic Council', Toki resolutely decided to do it himself. In Toki's view, this was the mission and responsibility of a 'Council Member'.
"That's good."
"You are a good Council Member."
Id smiled. His Observation Haki told him that Toki wasn't lying.
"Mr. Id, Ms. Ur."
"Thank you for removing this cancer, Brain."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Toki noticed the infant in Ur's arms and asked gently.
"May I ask, Council Member Toki."
"Do you know where we can find a 'Dragon Lacrima'?"
After Id and Ur exchanged glances, he turned to look at Council Member Toki and asked.
"Uh?"
"You said 'Dragon Lacrima'?"
"That really stumps me."
Toki was stunned for a moment. He seemingly hadn't expected Id and Ur to be searching for such a rare item.
"You don't know?"
Id felt somewhat helpless. As expected, a rare item like a 'Dragon Lacrima' wasn't so easily found.
"I will keep an eye out for you. Once I find information about a 'Dragon Lacrima', I will notify you immediately."
Speaking up to here, Toki paused slightly, then asked, "Where should I find you? The Kingdom of Isvan?"
Yes, even Toki had heard of the Ice Mage Ur's name. After all, Ur was a genius listed as a candidate for the Ten Wizard Saints by their 'Council', so he certainly knew about her.
"No."
"We plan to continue west to the Kingdom of Fiore to find Senior Makarov."
"We heard that Senior Makarov's grandson also suffered from the same condition as this child and was cured by a Dragon Lacrima."
Ur explained at this moment.
"Is that so?"
"In that case, you are heading to the Mage Guild Fairy Tail, correct?"
"Alright, once I find a 'Dragon Lacrima' or obtain information about a 'Dragon Lacrima', I will send it to the Fairy Tail guild immediately."
Toki said with a smile.
"Council Member Toki, thank you for your help."
Ur bowed slightly to Toki to express respect and gratitude.
