Chapter 48

"The proposal regarding the Grand Magic Games is postponed for now."

Princess Hisui's emotions were also fluctuating at this moment.

Looking at the ministers who were looking at her with confused eyes, Princess Hisui ended the meeting hastily and then quickly chased in the direction her father, the King of the Fiore Kingdom, had left.

"Your Highness."

"What happened?"

Outside the conference hall, a middle-aged man with a burly build wearing knight armor looked at Princess Hisui, who was walking out in a hurry, and greeted her quickly, his expression full of worry.

Just now, the King of the Fiore Kingdom had this expression, and now Princess Hisui had the same expression.

And this burly middle-aged knight was the captain of the Fiore Kingdom's Cherry Blossom Knights, Arcadios, who usually guarded Princess Hisui.

He was also one of the implementers of the Eclipse Project in the original work.

"The White Tiger squad in the Far North cannot be contacted."

"If there are no accidents, something big must have happened."

After hearing Arcadios's inquiry, Princess Hisui did not hesitate and said with extreme worry: "It is possible that the Dragon Cry scepter kept in the Far North has been lost."

As the future heir to the Fiore Kingdom, Princess Hisui knew some of the more secret news about the Fiore Kingdom, and the captain of the Cherry Blossom Knights had been loyal to the Fiore royal family for generations.

So Princess Hisui did not deliberately hide it from Arcadios.

"The White Tiger squad cannot be contacted?!"

"The White Tiger squad is our Fiore Kingdom's elite..."

Arcadios's pupils shrank slightly.

As someone in a relatively high military position in the Fiore Kingdom, Arcadios knew very well how luxurious the configuration of the White Tiger squad was.

The captain of the White Tiger squad was an S-Class Class Mage, and a very senior S-Class Class Mage at that, close to the level of the Ten Wizard Saints.

All ten members were also the elite of the elite, all A-Class Mages; with such a lineup, even if a Ten Wizard Saint came in person, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to prevent the White Tiger squad from sending out any news.

Unless it was... the top four of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Wait!

"That's right, it should be the top four of the Ten Wizard Saints."

"I think you have already seen the latest intelligence from today, Arcadios."

Princess Hisui looked at the captain of the Cherry Blossom Knights, whose face was changing, and her expression was somewhat gloomy as she whispered: "The pride of the Magic Council, the youngest councilman, the ninth of the Ten Wizard Saints, Siegrain, is a thought projection."

"His true body is Jellal, a madman who prepared to use the R-System to resurrect the founder of Black Magic, Zeref."

"A thought projection can possess the power of a Ten Wizard Saint; you should know what that concept means."

"Once he returns to his true body and allows the true Jellal's power to recover to its peak state, I'm afraid that even if he doesn't have the power of the top four Ten Wizard Saints, it won't be far off."

The news that the Magic Council had been turned into a mess by Councilman Siegrain had already spread throughout the world.

As the Magic Council, which held a status similar to world police, having such a big mess at this time, all the countries on the continent were naturally very happy to see the Magic Council's joke.

And because the Magic Council had used Etherion due to a councilman with ulterior motives, many people were already unhappy with the current generation of the Magic Council's chairman and councilmen, and they were happy to kick them while they were down.

The Fiore Kingdom was also one of the many countries that kicked them while they were down.

However, what Princess Hisui did not expect was that Jellal, instead of hiding, actually dared to come out and cause trouble, and even targeted the Fiore Kingdom.

And what made Princess Hisui most uneasy was that Jellal's target was unexpectedly accurate.

He actually went straight to the Fiore Kingdom's secret and ran to the Far North to look for the Dragon Cry, which was strictly guarded by the Fiore Kingdom.

You must know that the Fiore Kingdom not only placed the guard location in the remote, uninhabited Far North, but also set up super-large concealment magic at the guard location.

Normally, even if one passed by there, it would be impossible to discover the high tower where the Dragon Cry scepter was stored.

"Does he actually possess power close to the top four Ten Wizard Saints?"

"Then it's no wonder the White Tiger squad couldn't even send back a message."

Arcadios, as the captain of the Cherry Blossom Knights, was silent.

In terms of strength, Arcadios also possessed the power of an S-Class Class Mage, but it was precisely because he possessed powerful strength that Arcadios understood the terrifying gap between himself and the Ten Wizard Saints.

He could also understand how terrifying the power of the top four Ten Wizard Saints was.

"The Magic Council side shouldn't be counted on."

"If things go wrong this time, the current chairman and councilmen of the Magic Council will all have to step down."

The expression on Princess Hisui's face gradually became calm.

As the future heir to the Fiore Kingdom, Princess Hisui's psychological quality was quite good.

Looking at Arcadios, she said earnestly: "Arcadios, now you lead the Cherry Blossom Knights to the Far North immediately to further determine the situation there."

"Go quickly and return quickly."

After speaking, Princess Hisui ignored Arcadios and walked quickly toward her room.

Because there was a meeting this morning regarding the holding of the Grand Magic Games, Princess Hisui had only hastily glanced at the intelligence before going to the meeting.

This time, Princess Hisui was prepared to carefully look at the intelligence sent by the Fiore Kingdom's intelligence department.

If she remembered correctly, Princess Hisui remembered that there was some intelligence about Jellal in the report.

In short, under Lin Cheng's layout, the entire Fiore Kingdom was operating in the dark, wanting to find Jellal as soon as possible and take back the Dragon Cry scepter that had been snatched by Jellal.

Of course, because they knew that Jellal possessed terrifying power comparable to the top four Ten Wizard Saints, the Fiore Kingdom, while operating at full capacity to find Jellal's tracks, did not forget to contact forces from all sides.

Among them, Fairy Tail, as the strongest Class Mage guild in the Fiore Kingdom, was naturally contacted.
