The Magic Merchant in Fairy Tail

"I see. This is the truth about the purple moon?"

"Kira is amazing, you are worthy of being an S-class wizard. You found the reason right away."

Hearing the praise from several people, Kira felt very proud: "Of course! Learn from them well!"

"Then...why don't you just tell the village chief and the others?"

Gray's question was immediately mocked by Kira: "Are you an idiot? Since their memories have been affected, they will definitely not listen to our explanation. They have been thinking that they are cursed for so long, and even 'killed' their own children. If I say that they are originally demons, they will definitely be furious and think that we are powerless and finally drive us out."

"Uh... that's true... Oh, by the way, if they were originally demons, then wouldn't the village chief's son have died in vain?"

"Don't worry. I heard that demons are hard to kill," Kira explained. "Besides, since the village chief said his son 'lost himself', that means he has returned to normal. In this case, I think the probability of him leaving the island is relatively high."

Kira took another step and walked towards the center of the forest.

"Every change has a reason. This island can't have such a phenomenon without reason. Whether it's a virus or magic, since this phenomenon only started a few years ago, it means that something must have changed in that time."

Rocky asked: "So where are we going now?"

"Let's look around to see if there is anything similar to a magic circle. Since this magic can cover the entire island, more preparations will be required. In other words, we need a large enough area to set up the magic circle in order to perform the magic."

"A place big enough? We haven't seen any place like this along the way."

"According to the records in the book, there is an ancient ruin on Karna Island. It is a place that can gather the power of the moon. Because the power of the moon is of holy attribute, the residents who are demons cannot get close to it. It is the most suitable place to set up a magic circle."

"I see. Since the villagers can't get close and there's no need to worry about it being destroyed, it's really the best place."

"Hmph! Learn from this! Remember to gather intelligence before going on a mission, read more books and newspapers, eat more fruits and vegetables, stay up less late, drink less, fight less, and flirt less!"

Ten minutes later...

"We're here."

Kira, who was walking in the front, stopped. In front of him was an ancient and mysterious relic. It was full of rubble, and in some places, there were patterns that looked like the moon.

"This is the ruins you mentioned. It's not far from the village, so why didn't the villagers mention it?"

A few people looked around and found that there was a road in the village that led directly to the ruins.

"Because they can't get close to here, they probably think this is too unbelievable. Even if they tell us, we won't believe it, so they don't say a word."

"This is the center of the island and also the highest point. If we want to set up a magic circle, this is the best place. Let's go up and take a look."

At this time, Rocky discovered something interesting: "Hmm? There is a cave here."

"There are caves of the same size above. Is it a coincidence?" Rocky said as he paced forward, looked up, and frowned. "No, several layers above have been opened up. It doesn't look like natural aging. It must be man-made. Why would they do such a thing?"

After hearing what Rocky said, Kana and Gray also moved closer and found that it was exactly as Rocky said.

While thinking, Kira's voice of "sudden enlightenment" came from behind: "So that's it, it's this magic, I figured it all out! If you think about it carefully, this place itself can gather a huge amount of moon power, it is indeed the most suitable place to cast that magic!"

Kira showed an expression that said "I'm going to start deciphering" and said the lines he had prepared long ago: "There is only one truth!!!"

Seeing that Kira seemed to have come to a conclusion, the three asked, "What kind of magic are you talking about?"

"Legend has it that the Moon Drops are formed by condensing moonlight into a beam and gathering the enormous power of the moon. That is a kind of magic that can eliminate all magic."

"Magic that can eliminate all magic? Does such magic really exist in the world?"

Kira noticed that Gray and Cana looked surprised, but Rocky didn't react much.

That's right, he is a Celestial Spirit who has lived for an unknown period of time, so it's normal for him to know more. In the original work, the news about the Moon Drop was told to Natsu and the others by the Celestial Spirit.

"Of course there is. I've read about it in a book," Kira nodded. "But the conditions for the formation of the 'Moon Drop' are extremely demanding. Not only does it require a huge amount of moon power, it also requires enough manpower. Even the spell is very ancient and niche. It is a kind of magic that has long been lost."

"Moreover, this is a polluting magic. According to the book, it will produce a special gas. Perhaps this pollution has affected the island."

Kana exclaimed: "Polluted gas? In other words, is the villagers' health affected by air pollution?"

Kira said, "Not necessarily. There could be other reasons. The sun is about to set. We will know soon."

"It's really abominable. Who on earth would do such a thing?" Gray said angrily. "Why wait until night? Can't we just destroy the magic circle now?"

Cana was also a little confused: "That's right, if we destroy the magic circle, we can at least stop the source of pollution, right?"

"The Moon Drop can only be performed at night. We can't destroy anything now. We can't find anyone to fight."

"According to what the village chief said, this magic has been activated for three years, right? Hasn't it succeeded yet?"

"It's not that simple," Kira shook his head and explained, "The formation of the Moon Drop is very difficult. Even if this island has abundant moon power, it cannot be completed in just three years. Moreover, the impact it causes is also very difficult and cannot be solved by destroying the magic circle."

Kana asked again: "Isn't there any way to eliminate the influence on the island first? You should have a way to purify the air, right?"

"In fact, I haven't felt the air has been affected since I came to the island, so I said I would have to wait until night to find out. As for now..."

"Don't you want to see what kind of magic these guys of unknown origin are trying to dispel with the 'Drop of the Moon'?"

Kira's words aroused the curiosity of several people. Yes, what kind of person is he and for what purpose would he cast the Moon Drop here?

"The answer is down there, do you want to go take a look together?"

"Of course!"

The three of them laughed, seeming to be full of interest in the unknown before them.

Gray thought to himself: As expected, S-level missions are interesting. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. I can brag about this experience in front of Natsu.

Kira looked at Gray, whose face was full of interest in adventure, and thought sinisterly: Laugh, but you won't be able to laugh later.
