His only knowledge of the city was that it had a grand theater, where many famous theater troupes performed—hence its relatively bustling train station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After disembarking, Mo En followed the address on the request to a villa—more accurately, an estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast courtyard contained meticulously pruned ornamental trees; a long stone path led to the luxurious main building, painted milky white and inlaid with gold trim throughout, crafted with great care and exuding opulence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a servant who came to greet him, Mo En entered the main building and met the mission client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Mo En, a mage of Fairy Tail. Are Itachi Mr. Deno, the mission client?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spacious reception hall, Mo En politely greeted the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reception hall also felt gilded and lavish—how to put it? A bit tacky, but undeniably wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Deno himself had a prosperous appearance: stout, dressed in luxurious garments like a noble, clearly rich—and indeed he was, as evidenced by his residence; the mission fee was also substantial, beyond the means of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? So young? Still a child? What’s going on with Fairy Tail? Why send a child? Are Itachi mocking me?! Isn’t my bounty high enough?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Mo En, Mr. Deno, wine glass in hand, frowned deeply; his gaze toward Mo En was dismissive and irritated, for Mo En looked far too young to be a powerful mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Deno, please rest assured—Fairy Tail is professional and trustworthy. If I’ve come, I will resolve your problem. We never gamble with our guild’s reputation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Deno’s skepticism, Mo En remained calm; though young in face, his aura was strong, his innate confidence in his strength unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll… temporarily believe Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Mo En’s words, Mr. Deno muttered under his breath a few times, then chose to trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, he trusted “Fairy Tail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo En said, “Fairy Tail”’s reputation was renowned, and its mission completion rate was exceptionally high—the undisputed No. 1 guild in the Fiore Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they often caused unexpected trouble, that happened only after completing the mission—don’t ask how much damage was done; just ask whether the mission was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mission request says the target is a Magic-Horned Lizard, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having accepted Mo En as the assigned mage, he began verifying the mission details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meeting was essentially a mutual confirmation: the client paid, so he had the right to reject an untrustworthy mage; the mage, having accepted the task, needed to confirm the exact objective to avoid disputes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. I need the horns of the Magic-Horned Lizard—at least twenty. If Itachi bring more, I’ll pay extra.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En’s serious, professional demeanor eased much of Deno’s doubt; he thought, “Fairy Tail” wouldn’t send a child to die—this wasn’t a simple errand or retrieval task; this was a beast hunt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I have no further concerns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En nodded, finalizing the handover with Deno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly a long journey—the Magic-Horned Lizard only lived in the Vass Tree Sea, far from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the price per additional “Magic Horn,” Mo En left the villa and went to the train station, taking the train all the way to the final stop: Kropa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En remembered Kropa—the location of the guild master’s regular meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vass Tree Sea lay north of Kropa; beyond that, no train ran. Mo En rented a carriage, but the driver refused to go further than halfway into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vass Tree Sea was a primitive forest, home to all manner of beasts and magical creatures; ordinary people dared not enter, and without strength, few survived the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book seeking support~ Seeking follow reads~ Seeking monthly votes~ Thank Itachi!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",942,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","17e71d32bd8e25f0ffd8f83112a2b9bd4a50be85e5fc78d5c15934b70b406f80","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-24","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-22",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
