Chapter 516

"Just like a mage blessed by the Celestial Spirits."

"Truly enviable."

Princess Emerald stretched out her hand and placed the several keys before her onto the hook at her waist.

At the same time she sighed, for across all of Ishgar there were only twelve keys of the Celestial Spirit Gates.

It was very hard for an ordinary person to obtain even one, even for Her Highness the Princess.

Princess Emerald herself did not possess a single Celestial Spirit Gate key, yet the Lucy Heartfilia that Luo Ge spoke of actually held the great majority of the Celestial Spirit Gate keys.

In the hands of an ordinary Celestial Spirit mage, a Celestial Spirit could be called a trump card.

In Lucy Heartfilia's hands, it was nothing more than an utterly ordinary Celestial Spirit.

"Perhaps that girl was simply lucky. Your Highness's magic power is far more refined than that girl's."

"It's only that on ordinary days you are tied up with affairs of state."

"If you were to cultivate diligently, even the rank of Wizard Saint would not be far from you."

Arcadios's perfectly timed praise brought a smile to Princess Emerald's face.

But at the same time, her eyes remained fixed on the outside of the Wang Gong.

Raising Celestial Spirit magic to the level of the Wizard Saints was, in essence, an extremely difficult matter.

No new Wizard Saint had appeared in nearly a hundred years, and never once had a Celestial Spirit mage entered those ranks.

Although Celestial Spirit magic was a very ancient, primordial magic, it could not really be called an especially powerful magic.

The truly powerful magics concerning Celestial Spirits had long since been lost.

Even now, within the Kingdom of Fiore, there were only records of them, but no actual documentation.

"Enough with the flattery. The upper limit for a Celestial Spirit mage is very low."

"It is precisely because of this that I chose to study it."

"Try to retrieve all the remaining keys before the Grand Magic Games come to an end."

"Don't cause too great a disturbance; try not to draw the attention of the Fapingyi Society."

Princess Emerald's words made Arcadios immediately nod in agreement.

Although the Kingdom of Fiore was not currently afraid of the Fapingyi Society, there was no need, over the matter at hand,

to provoke any excessive reaction from the Fapingyi Society.

"......"

Two days later, the Grand Magic Games drew to a close.

The victorious guild was, as always, Fairy Tail.

With Erza and Mirajane leading them, Fairy Tail was invincible at this moment.

The presence of knights and demons also gave the people of the world a deeper impression of this guild.

And even more so, an impression of Fairy Tail's might.

Although it was a very troublesome guild, its strength was beyond doubt.

And at this moment, in a certain tavern, Fairy Tail was holding a victory banquet.

Everyone raised their cups in celebration, celebrating Fairy Tail's victory in the Grand Magic Games.

"As expected, the strongest guild in Fiore is still our Fairy Tail!"

"Yeah, from now on work is definitely going to keep increasing."

"Erza was really amazing — she took on the Blue Pegasus members all by herself!"

"Mirajane was the same! Who would have thought the gentle Mirajane could be this strong?"

"Hey, hey, you guys, at least say something nice about us boys who fought too, right, Natsu, Gray?"

"Hahahahahahaha."

Every voice was exceptionally joyful; even those who had not taken the field were still utterly thrilled.

At this moment, their existence was simply there to set the mood.

"Natsu, Gray."

"Where's Lucy? I haven't seen her at all just now."

Compared to the excited, cup-raising revelers around her, Erza appeared considerably calmer.

After sweeping her gaze around the area and not spotting Lucy Heartfilia, she immediately turned to Gray and Natsu to ask.
