Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 225: An Exchange Across Four Hundred Years

"No, rather than dark clouds blocking the moon, it seems like the moon has been swallowed up by some unknown existence..."

The July, 7th, the Kingdom Fiore was in the middle of a good festival. Countless citizens were still wandering on the streets in the middle of the night. They raised their heads and looked at the full moon in the sky that was swallowed up by darkness. They frowned, and fear and uneasiness flashed through their hearts.

At the same time...

In a palace below the royal palace of Kingdom Fiore...

"What is this?"

Toma E. Fiore looked at the slowly opening Gate of Eclipse in front of him and was shocked. He had never thought that one day, he would actually be able to see the broken door open in front of his eyes.

At this moment, his heart was filled with shock...

At the same time, Toma E. Fiore also knew that Layla and the Heartfilia Family behind Layla did not lie to him. Layla really understood the Gate of Eclipse and they were really preparing to open the door in front of them.

If the Heartfilia Family exists to open the door, then does our clan exist to protect the door in front of us?

In the midst of shock, Toma E. Fiore thought silently in his heart. As the king of a country, his intelligence was also outstanding. At this moment, he also thought of many things like Evan.

"It seems that the ancestor really left something incredible behind!"

In this regard, the old man muttered to himself. Unlike Evan, he did not understand who left behind the Gate of Eclipse in front of him. He only regarded the Gate of Eclipse in front of him as the work of his ancestor.

Weng...

As the door slowly opened, Layla, who paid for the Gate of Eclipse in front of her, had a pale face. However, it was different from the original. This was not because she had not gathered the Twelve Celestial Spirits Key and forced the door open at the cost of her life. This was only because Layla was too nervous and her blood was a bit out of balance.

"Additional... Energy..."

When Evan saw that Layla was not in a good state, he directly added energy to Layla and helped her recover.

As for Evan, after adjusting the state for Layla, he waited quietly. He tried to see if he could directly stop Natsu and the other five children in advance. If he could directly stop them, he would not need to spend time looking for them...

"Boom! Long..."

Just as Evan was fully focused, the door finally opened. At the same time, five lights of different colors shot out towards the door.

"It\'s coming!"

The moment the five lights arrived, Evan immediately used gravity magic to block them.

"Don\'t get in the way, young boy!"

"Do not try to provoke me!"

However, the moment Evan\'s magic power came into contact with the five rays of light, the red rays of light directly shattered Evan\'s magic power. At the same time, a dull warning sounded in Evan\'s mind.

It was also at the moment when Evan was stunned that the five rays of light directly shot through the ceiling above everyone\'s heads...

"I miscalculated..."

Evan knew that he had taken it for granted. Igneel was very friendly to Natsu, but it never meant that he was also friendly to others. In fact, Igneel even treated his own people, or to be precise, his dragon was very irritable.

Evan still remembered that in the past, after Natsu and Laxus fought, he burst out his potential and used the Dragon Slayer Arcane. After successfully defeating Laxus, Female Dragon Grandeeney once separated her consciousness and went to find Igneel in Natsu\'s body. In the end, Grandeeney was scolded by Igneel and was scolded by him, and then directly scolded out...

At the same time, Evan remembered that Igneel had always treated the other dragons with an attitude of order. After all, Igneel was a Fire Dragon!

Perhaps before Acnologia completely transformed into a dragon and turned into the dark wings representing despair, Igneel was an invincible existence in this continent and even in this world, whether in human or dragon.

"But the way he addressed me was that of a young little fellow?"

"Don\'t tell me that Igneel has taken me as a dragon cub?"

"Do I look very much like a dragon? I am a pure human!"

Evan recalled how Igneel addressed him when he was communicating with him. He raised his eyebrows and thought silently in his heart.

"May I ask, what year is this?"

Just as Evan was silently thinking about this, a golden-haired woman wearing the attire of an ancient magister walked out from the door. She looked around with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She looked at Layla, who was wearing an expensive dress, in front of her and asked.

"It is now the 17th year."

Layla looked at the woman in front of her with a shocked expression and answered truthfully.

"\'X777 years\' means that we have succeeded. We have successfully traveled for four hundred years."

The woman had a head of blonde hair. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Layla. It could not be said that she was a woman who had been carved from the same mold. There was a hint of joy in her expression. Originally, this was just an experiment. She had entered the Gate of Eclipse with the awareness that she would die. Now, it seemed that everything was developing in a good direction.

"Oh right, children, have you seen the children?"

The blond woman was first happy, then she looked at Layla and the others anxiously.

"If you are talking about the children, they have already broken through the ceiling and flew out. Although I really want to help you stop them, to be honest, some of the existences in the children\'s bodies are not very friendly to me."

Evan pointed to the five holes in the ceiling above them and said.

"The existence in the children\'s bodies, is it? Do you feel their existence?"

After the blond woman listened to Evan, a trace of shock flashed across her face. She did not expect that they had just transmigrated to the future, and the secret of the soul dragon magic was discovered by the youth in front of her.

However, this also shows that the future after 400 years is different from 400 years ago. The world before us is indeed an era where magic power is abundant and countless magic flowers are blooming...

In this era, maybe they can really kill Acnologia!

"It\'s really surprising. You not only opened the door of our ancestral home, but someone also came out from the door..."

"It seems that our Heartfilia Family really knows nothing about this door!"

Just as the golden-haired woman was talking to Evan, Toma E. Fiore spoke with an emotional expression.

"In short, let\'s talk somewhere else?"

Evan looked at the golden-haired woman in front of him who was almost the same mold as Layla. At the same time, it was also Layla and Lucy\'s ancestor Anna, as well as Layla and the others who asked softly.

"I came to provide a place to drink tea..."

When Toma E. Fiore heard this, he immediately understood what Evan meant.

At the same time, Toma E. Fiore was also a little curious about the woman in front of him...

"Good!"

Anna, who had just arrived in this world, also intended to have a little understanding of the situation of this world with everyone. As for Layla, she naturally wanted to have a good chat with Anna, who had a faint resonance with the blood in her body, and the great beauty was naturally dominated by Layla...

Therefore, after everyone reached an agreement...

Everyone collectively moved to a meeting room in the palace.

After the servant poured tea for everyone, Anna spoke first.

"My name is Anna Heartfilia..."

Anna first looked at everyone and said her name.

"You are the ancestor of Anna?"

When Layla heard Anna\'s name, she was stunned. Then she immediately took out her family\'s treasured notebook that had been passed down for four hundred years.

"Ah, that notebook is really nostalgic!"

"I didn\'t expect that after four hundred years, this notebook is still as clean and tidy as when I used it. It seems that you have really preserved it very carefully in these four hundred years. Yes, this magic notebook in your hand is the one I used back then..."

When Anna saw the notebook of Layla, she immediately knew the identity of Layla. In fact, the moment she saw Layla, she guessed that Layla was probably her descendant.

After all, Layla was really too similar to her, just like twins...

It had to be said that the bloodline of Anna, the bloodline of the Heartfilia Family, was indeed stronger!

"It\'s really amazing. I never thought that I would be able to talk to my ancestors face to face one day..."

Layla smiled at Anna. After Anna and Layla shared their names, the atmosphere between the two became much closer.

"Because it takes four hundred years to open the door at the right time, this book was passed down. After spending four hundred years in our Heartfilia Family, we finally opened this door. It was hard on you, Layla..."

Anna looked at Layla and revealed a gentle and kind smile as if she was looking at her own child.

Although Layla is not Anna\'s biological child, as a descendant of Anna, Anna\'s blood flows in her body...

"It\'s fine, ancestor Anna. I don\'t feel tired. To be honest, I don\'t want my child, that child Lucy to inherit this mission..."

After hearing Anna\'s words, Layla shook her head. Although she had only listened to Anna talk a few words, she could imagine how many generations of hard work the Heartfilia Family had put into the book.

"After four hundred years, we finally came to this era. However, if this era does not have the threat of Acnologia, then our efforts will become meaningless..."

Anna looked at Layla with a slight smile, then a trace of anxiety flashed across her face, and she silently said in her heart.

"In short, this is all I can say. Before I can tell you everything, I hope you can keep this matter a secret..."

"And it is also time for me to go and find the children who have been separated from each other."

After saying this, Anna finished the tea in her cup and got ready to leave.

"We understand."

Layla, Toma E. Fiore, and the great beauty all nodded their heads, expressing their understanding.

Evan also nodded silently.

"Then, everyone, look forward to our next meeting..."

After everyone bid farewell, Anna stepped on her own journey to search for the children.

She left the three of them, Layla, Toma E. Fiore, and Grammi.

At this time, the three of them were still immersed in the story Anna had told them.

After a long while...

The three of them slowly reacted. They looked at the empty meeting room and did not know what to say.

"Speaking of which, where did Evan go?"

After a moment of silence, Layla suddenly realized something. She found that at some point in time, Evan, who was sitting with them, had disappeared.

Mountain forest...

"Yo..."

Just as Anna was moving forward, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"You are?"

Anna looked at the young man in front of her and was stunned. She remembered that this young man with short brown hair was the young man who had seen through the Spirit Dragon Slayer Magic the moment he came up.

Yes, the young man who blocked Anna\'s way was Evan.

"I have something I want to talk to you about..."

Evan stood in front of Anna and smiled at the ancestor of Lucy who had crossed four hundred years.
