Chapter 179

Hades: "A gate?! What kind of thing is that?"

Makarov: "Could it be that the mystery of time surrounding Natsu is because of this?"

Ur: "Not quite sure, but let's keep watching; this gate doesn't look simple."

Hisui E. Fiore: "This gate..."

Brain: "Looking at your tone... do you know it?"

Hisui E. Fiore: "No, no, no, I don't know."

Inside the Kingdom of Fiore.

Hisui's brows were tightly furrowed; no matter how she looked at it, that gate in the screen was so familiar.

It made her involuntarily recall the sealed gate buried deep beneath the palace.

"The Eclipse Gate? That's actually the Eclipse Gate!"

The kingdom's Minister of Defense, Arcadios, leaned on his sword, his expression also slightly serious.

He looked at Hisui: "Princess Hisui, the Eclipse Gate is a magic device capable of traversing time; could it be that they relied on the Eclipse Gate to cross four hundred years of time?"

Hisui: "It's very possible, but what I'm worried about now is something else."

Arcadios: "What?"

Hisui: "Information regarding the Eclipse Gate is absolutely confidential."

"And now, if it's revealed through the screen, the whole world will know the secret that the Eclipse Gate can traverse time."

"By that time... things will be completely troublesome."

"Countless people will covet the Eclipse Gate, and for our Kingdom of Fiore, this is almost a disaster!"

Hisui's voice was very serious.

It was also filled with deep worry.

"Forget it, we can only take it one step at a time." Finally, Hisui shook her head, no longer struggling with it.

At this moment.

There was a new development in the screen.

【As the image zoomed in.】

【Everyone could clearly see all the details of the gate.】

【It had a golden frame, blue and green stripes, and a sun-like emblem on the tightly closed gate.】

【Twelve locks held the gate tightly shut.】

【And in front of this gate was Anna, who had been waiting for a long time.】

【Seeming to notice the sound of the howling wind coming from the sky.】

【Anna raised her head.】

【"You've finally arrived, Igneel, and... Natsu, sleeping so soundly."】

【"It's good that he's asleep; if he were awake, who knows what kind of trouble he'd cause; after all, it's better not to let them know about this plan for now."】

【"Bearing such a heavy burden at such a young age, they won't be able to handle it."】

【Black Natsu, on top of Igneel's head, frowned slightly, but soon returned to calm.】

【The conversation below continued.】

【Anna didn't refute Igneel and nodded gently.】

【Then she took Natsu down from Igneel's head and held him in her arms.】

【She looked at that face with a smile.】

【"I really don't know how sad they will be when they wake up and find that we are completely gone."】

【"I don't know about the others, but this kid can handle it!"】

【Speaking of this, Igneel immediately straightened his back, his whole body revealing a proud expression.】
