Chapter 164

Counting it up, it had been almost three months!

This was absolutely contrary to common sense.

Therefore, it was very obvious that when he traveled over, the book must have suffered scorching from Black Natsu's personal magic.

This caused the book to be damaged.

So much so that the travel time limit was frozen at that moment.

Simply put, if all the missing characters of the book were restored now, the travel time limit would also be activated accordingly; six hours later, Black Natsu would disappear from this time node and return to one hundred years later.

Therefore, after figuring out the principle within, Black Natsu called a halt to the repair of the last few characters.

At least, he couldn't go back yet.

No matter what, he had to finish the things at hand before going back.

However, considering that the world's rejection was becoming stronger and stronger, Black Natsu could only speed up.

So much so that he had even been living in the laboratory these past few days.

Making Irene start to feel a bit dissatisfied recently.

Finally, on this day, with the success of the No. 005 experiment.

Black Natsu could finally heave a sigh of relief.

"Next is to repeat the experiment to determine that this is not a coincidence; at the very least, after three successful experiments, this method can be used on a real person."

Irene stood with her hands on her hips, speaking with excitement on her face.

"Then let's hurry up and proceed."

Black Natsu also nodded in agreement.

Knock, knock, knock...

Just at this moment, the door was knocked on again.

Immediately after, Kyoka walked in.

"Queen... the Allied Forces have once again sent a request for negotiations; should we accept?"

"Negotiations?"

Upon hearing this, Irene's brows furrowed slightly: "Those guys really are persistent; tell them I don't have time."

"Besides, there is nothing to talk about; we only have one demand: let them go back to where they came from."

"I don't have time to waste with them."

"I understand." Kyoka nodded.

Subsequently, she looked toward Black Natsu: "By the way, King, your friends have already arrived in the Galaxy Empire; would you like to see them?"

"Friends?"

Black Natsu and Irene looked at each other.

Speaking of friends, after Black Natsu came to this era, he hadn't met many people, so where would he have friends?

"The only possibility..."

Black Natsu rubbed his chin, and the image of that girl who was like an elf gradually surfaced in his mind.

"Mavis!"

"Where are they now?"

Black Natsu inquired.

"They are still wandering around the empire; they seem to like the Galaxy Empire quite a bit and are having a great time right now."

Needless to say, this must be Mavis and the others.

Apart from that little loli Mavis, no one else would have such a playful heart.

Black Natsu shook his head helplessly.

"You go and receive them first."

"We have reached a critical moment here; we will go see them after we finish."

Kyoka received the order, nodded gently, and then exited the laboratory.

"Then... let's begin!"

Irene looked at Black Natsu, and the two nodded in unison.

Subsequently, they set their sights on the two remaining Dragon Slayer lacrima in the metal box.

The final experiment had begun!

At the same time, in the capital of the Galaxy Empire.

"Wow!! This place is so much more luxurious than Magnolia!"

The blonde girl Mavis was skipping along the streets of the capital.

Looking at the bustling scene all around, little stars couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

"Look quickly!! Magic airships!!"

"Even the capital of Fiore doesn't have things like this!"

"And also! That ice cream emitting seven-colored light, I really want to taste it."

"And... people with green skin? Those must be demons! How rare!"

"Wow!! You guys look quickly, look quickly! Could that be the legendary... dragon??"

The entire street was filled with Mavis's surprised voice.

That posture, like a country bumpkin entering the city, also drew the side-glances of other citizens on the street.

Yuri, Precht, and Warrod, who were following behind Mavis, couldn't help but lower their heads.

They covered their cheeks.

It seemed that the gazes of the surrounding citizens were a bit uncomfortable.

Yuri couldn't help but step forward.

"I say, Guild Master, please be a bit more low-key; you're making it look like we're country bumpkins who have never seen the world."

Upon hearing this, Mavis stopped her skipping, turned her head, and looked at Yuri with her emerald eyes.

With an exceptionally serious expression, she said: "Isn't that the case??"

Yuri: "Hmm??"

"Yuri! As a Black Mage of Fairy Tail, one must have the courage to accept the facts!"

Mavis lectured in the manner of a little adult.

"And the fact is, we are indeed country bumpkins!"

The corners of Precht's mouth behind her twitched continuously.

"Can you even be proud of that?"

"Do you want me to give you an award?"

"Eh? What did you say?" Mavis tilted her body, poked out her little head, and looked at Precht.

"Nothing! I didn't say anything, I just said, shouldn't we go find Master?"

"If you want to find Master, then follow me."

Just at this moment, Kyoka appeared in front of everyone.

"Eh? Who are you?" Mavis looked at Kyoka curiously.

"Captain of the Galaxy Empire Queen's Guard, Star-Lithe Kyoka!"

"If you want to find the King, then follow me."

As she spoke, Kyoka reached out her hand, signaling everyone to follow.

"King?"

The sharp Mavis caught this word.

"That's right, Natsu is our King! He is also the King of the entire Galaxy Empire!"

Kyoka's tone was serious.

"If you don't trust me, you can take a look at that massive statue in the distance."

Following Kyoka's finger, the gazes of the few locked onto the direction of the palace, at that statue building over a hundred meters tall.

It couldn't be wrong, that appearance... was the Master in their memories.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Even Mavis opened her little mouth in shock.

"So... our Master, his background is actually this big?!!"
