Fairy Tail Collapsing Stars Chapter 223

Just as Erza, Mirajane, and Laxus began to gradually spread their names on Ishgar.
Evan came to the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus…
Year X777, June, 8 o’clock at night…
In the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus, there were people coming and going, traffic and countless tourists walking on the streets, and pedestrians were endless.
Evan walked in the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It had to be said that as a capital city, Crocus was indeed much more prosperous than Magnolia Town. Although Magnolia Town was called a small town with the help of the Fairy Tail, in fact, whether in terms of scale or population, it was no different from a city. Even in the Kingdom of Fiore, in terms of prosperity, Magnolia Town was considered a first-rate city. However, compared to a city like Crocus who had a population of millions and occupied nearly one-tenth of the entire country, it was far inferior to a first-rate city…
“Evan…”
“Here, we are here!”
Just as Evan was slowly walking forward, a female voice rang out not far from him. The owner of this female voice was constantly calling out Evan’s name.
“Hehe…” When Evan heard the voice, he turned around slightly and looked at the owner of the voice. Then, with a smile on his face, Evan walked up to the owner of the voice and whispered, “Long time no see, Lady Layla, Lady Grammi. How have you been?”
“Thanks to you, it’s not bad…”
After hearing Evan’s words, Layla smiled gently at Evan. Because of Evan’s help, their Heartfilia Family had gathered the key to the Celestial Spirit a year earlier. Therefore, in this year, they were worried about not having any key. They were carefree, and naturally, they lived quite well.
“Long time no see, Mr. Evan.”
Grammi looked at Evan with respect. Although Evan looked very young, Grammi did not despise Evan because of this. In fact, ever since Evan showed his amazing magic skills in front of her, Grammi had sincerely respected Evan.
“Are the two of you ready?”
Evan asked, his hands behind his back.
“We have all the keys. Next, we will wait until midnight. According to the records, we will open the Gate of Eclipse.”
Reipulled out an exquisite key bag from her bosom. She opened the key bag gently in front of Evan, revealing the shining thirteen Celestial Spirit Gate Keys.
This was because Layla did not know what the Ophiuchus Keys was used for. According to the records she had passed down, she did not mention whether the Gate of Eclipse needed the key of Ophiuchus. However, for the sake of safety, Layla brought the key of Ophiuchus, just in case.
“Since you have brought the key, let’s go…”
Evan smiled at Layla and the great beauty. His mind was filled with the two tasks that Zeref had given him.
“Alright…”
After hearing Evan’s words, Layla and Grammi looked at each other. To be on the safe side, the three of them decided to go to the front door of the Gate of Eclipse first and wait quietly…
When dawn arrived, they directly opened the door of the Gate of Eclipse .
The Gate of Eclipse was created by Zeref, and it was specially used to deal with Black Dragon Acnologia. Four hundred years ago, full of despair, it would be able to defeat Acnologia, and it would be transmitted to four hundred years later, a super spell that crossed time…
However, the problem was that after Zeref created the Gate of Eclipse, he and the ancestor of the Heartfilia Family, Anna, discovered that the Gate of Eclipse had been used many times in the future. In other words, if they were not careful, they would pass the Fire Magic of Hope to the wrong future. For this reason, Anna wrote down the days and handed the diary to her descendants, allowing the descendants to open the Gate of Eclipse on the July 7, X777, 400 years later…
In fact, according to Evan’s speculation, if Layla had opened the Gate of Eclipse earlier, even if it had only been a second earlier, and the Gate of Eclipse had not opened on the 7th of July, but on the 6th of July, then it would probably not have been Natsu and the others.
With this thought in mind, the three of them walked to the front of the palace.
“So do you know the exact location of the Gate of Eclipse?”
Evan stood in front of the palace and did not rush forward. Instead, he looked at Layla and Grammi behind him and asked softly.
“It’s probably in one of the buildings in the palace…”
“According to my records, the entire royal palace and capital of the Kingdom of Fiore were built to hide the Gate of Eclipse.”
Layla picked up the notebook in her hand and whispered to Evan.
“So that’s how it is…”
After listening to Layla, Evan nodded slightly.
Zeref really played a big game of chess. In order to prevent the Gate of Eclipse from being destroyed in the past four hundred years, he built a palace around the Gate of Eclipse
No, the entire palace, even the entire capital, and even the entire capital of the Kingdom Fiore existed to protect the Gate of Eclipse. In other words, the royal family of Kingdom Fiore was the gatekeeper of the Gate of Eclipse.
Perhaps this country was built under Zeref’s arrangements
Evan stood in front of the palace. Through Layla’s words, as well as the original king of Kingdom Fiore who entrusted the Gate of Eclipse to be the treasure passed down from generation to generation of the family, Evan deduced that perhaps the reason why Kingdom Fiore could continue to prosper was also because of Zeref’s efforts behind the scenes.
“We still have time now. As long as we patiently search, we will always be able to find it.”
Grammi looked at the sky. According to the records, the phenomenon in the sky had not appeared yet. They should still have time.
“No need. I have already told the current king of Kingdom Fiore that we need to borrow the Gate of Eclipse. He will probably send someone to pick us up soon, right?”
Layla smiled at Grammi. After their Heartfilia Family paid a large sum of money to Kingdom Fiore, the current king of Kingdom Fiore, agreed to their request of borrowing the Gate of Eclipse. However… Toma E. Fiore had only made a small request.
However, for the sake of borrowing the Gate of Eclipse to fulfill the long-cherished wish of their Heartfilia Family for the past four hundred years, Toma E. Fiore’s small request did not matter.
“Everyone, I have made you wait for a long time.”
“May I ask if you are Lady Layla Heartfilia?”
Just as Layla was speaking, the door to the palace slowly opened and a neatly dressed middle-aged man walked out. When he saw Layla, his eyes lit up. It was as if he was looking at walking bills.
“Yes…”
When Layla heard this, she nodded slightly, indicating that she was Layla Heartfilia.
“These two are…”
The middle-aged man smiled after confirming the identity of Layla. He then looked at Evan and the great beauty.
“Eh…”
This was what the middle-aged man asked. Right now, she could not say the relationship between Evan and Grammi. It would be fine if it was just Grammi alone. She only needed to answer truthfully and tell the middle-aged man in front of her that Grammi was her servant or assistant. However, the problem was that right now, there was also Evan…
She was not sure what relationship Evan had with her. In fact, if the king was worried that she said something wrong, he would make Evan unhappy.
“We are the assistants of Lady Layla.”
Without waiting for Layla to say anything more, Evan automatically took him and Grammi as the assistants of Layla.
“So that’s how it is…”
The middle-aged man who opened the door, the finance minister of Kingdom Fiore, after listening to Evan’s words, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He instinctively thought that the identities of Evan and the others were not simple, but he did not say much. In fact, he just asked a routine question. No matter what the relationship between Evan and Layla was, he would let Evan and Layla in. After all, Layla gave too much…
“All in all, you can come in first.”
“Remember to keep your voice down when you come in. Follow closely behind me. The matter of the door is a secret. His Majesty does not want too many people to know.”
The finance minister of Kingdom Fiore did not forget to remind Layla and the others after opening the door.
“We understand…”
Layla, Evan, and the others looked at each other, then no longer said anything. They gently nodded at the finance minister in front of them, indicating that they understood.
“Alright, then you guys come with me…”
The finance minister did not say anything else and led the way for Layla and Evan.
“Let’s go…”
Layla, Evan, and Grammi looked at each other, lowered their heads, and followed closely behind the finance minister.
Because the finance minister led the way, there were no soldiers on the way to stop them.
Just like that, Layla, Evan, and Grammi followed the finance minister in front of them and went to a passage leading to the underground.
“Then I will send you here. The road ahead will be left to you.”
The finance minister stood in front of the entrance to the basement and smiled at Evan, Layla, and Grammi.
“Let’s go.”
Evan looked at the dark entrance of the basement in front of him. He did not hesitate and bore the brunt of the attack.
“Pang…”
Just as Evan reached the stairs, he snapped his fingers.
Buzz!
All of a sudden, the magic lights in the basement, which had been extinguished long ago, lit up.
“Let’s go, Grammi!”
Layla looked at the bright basement in front of her and told Grammi beside her.
“Alright, Miss Layla.”
Layla and Grammi instructed before the two of them followed closely behind Evan.
The green-haired girl should really be Lady Layla’s maid and assistant. As for the little brat with short brown hair, he should be a powerful mage on the continent. It seems like the Gate of Eclipse is really deep…
However, all of this has nothing to do with me. I just need to make good use of the finances of this country…
The finance minister of Kingdom Fiore looked at the brightly lit basement with a shocked expression. He was also a knowledgeable person to be able to reach the level of the finance minister of the Kingdom Fiore. He knew how much magic power Evan needed to do this. At the same time, according to his understanding of people, he found that although Evan claimed to be the assistant of Layla, in reality, Layla and Grammi had always been faintly led by Evan. The finance minister was deep in thought and then smiled freely. This was because the finance minister knew that even if he understood, this matter had nothing to do with him.
