Chapter 401 The Emerald Princess, Project Eclipse
"Whoa! That was a beautiful punch! Get him, Elfman!"
In the highest seat of the arena, Thomas E. Fiore waved his arms and shouted with the same excitement as the audience.
The guards standing nearby were stunned, never expecting that the incomparably noble and high-ranking king would have such a side.
Even Arcadios, the knight commander who knew Thomas's personality very well, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Hahaha, what a satisfying battle! It was worth taking a day off!"
Taking advantage of the brief moment when Elfman and Future Pacas were about to separate, Thomas, having enjoyed the spectacle, turned to Arcadios and couldn't help but praise, "Arcadios, you really understand my thoughts! Putting these two men together!"
"I am deeply honored to have your approval." Arcadios placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly.
Behind his back, he was silently complaining: "Weren't you just complaining that this match was too boring? That's a really fast change of heart!"
However, the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed slightly.
The act of bowing his head inadvertently caught his eye of Future Lucy cheering for Elfman in the stands below!
I just received news that the people I sent out had successfully carried out the mission, so why—
Will Lucy Heartfilia appear here again?
Those idiots arrested the wrong person?!
Arcadios tried to contact the other party using the magical communication device he carried, but received no response.
Thinking of Princess Emerald in the Palace of Lights, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
After asking King Thomas for permission to attend to some matters, he hurriedly left the venue.
at the same time.
Meluklias Palace, high up.
The sound of the magical kettle boiling echoed in the ornately decorated room, and the faint aroma of tea wafted out with the steam, drifting towards the balcony facing the Grand Magic Games arena.
A high-definition holographic screen floated in mid-air, broadcasting in real time the fierce battle between Elfman and Future Pacas.
Chase and Emerald E. Fiore sat facing each other on the sofa next to the coffee table.
Princess Emerald, dressed in a simple white dress, with her long, emerald-green hair casually draped over her shoulders, and a ruby necklace adorning her forehead that looked incredibly valuable, said, "Mr. Chase, please."
Princess Emerald handed the brewed tea to Chess, her movements displaying the poise and elegance of a princess of the kingdom.
Without any hesitation, Chess took the teacup, blew on it gently, and then drank it all in one gulp.
A fresh and unique aroma flowed down the throat and throughout the body, bringing a strangely familiar taste—almost the same as the tea that Jiude had served him before.
He originally planned to pretend to be captured and wait for Arcadios or the Emerald Princess to show up, but after those red-robed men locked him in a secret room, nothing more happened.
Left with no other choice, he coaxed the red-robed guard to sleep and quietly sneaked into the palace. Finding Princess Emerald was an easy task for him.
"Mr. Chase, can you tell me—"
Princess Emerald shifted her gaze from the holographic screen to Chase, her expression grave. "How did you discover my presence?"
She was genuinely startled when Chase suddenly "intruded" into the room.
Upon learning that the other party had come to him because of Lucy, he immediately switched into acting mode, pretending to be clueless and claiming that he knew nothing, while declaring that he would do everything in his power to capture the culprit who attacked the guild mage.
Chase smiled without saying a word, then casually grabbed a passing unlucky guard and showed him the magic card brainwashing technique.
The shocked Princess Emerald confessed on the spot and invited him to the room to talk in detail.
"No." Chase slowly put down his teacup.
"Uh..." Princess Emerald's lips twitched slightly.
I just saw how embarrassed Mirai was by this man who doesn't understand tact at all yesterday, and I didn't expect it would be my turn so soon!
Having grown up in high society and a refined, gentle environment, she was clearly not used to this style and was momentarily at a loss for words.
"To be honest, the reason we need Miss Lucy, who is a Celestial Spirit Mage, is to launch Project Eclipse."
After letting out a soft sigh, Princess Emerald, knowing there was no point in hiding it, truthfully revealed the next "top-level kingdom secret."
Just as Chase predicted, in the time before Rogue appears in the future, all the Emerald Princess wants to do is open the Eclipse Gate to go back four hundred years and eliminate the black mage Zeref and the black dragon Acnologia, who have not yet grown up, in order to maintain the peace and stability of the current magic world.
This is what the original work referred to as "Project Eclipse 1".
"I see, that's quite a bold idea."
Chess feigned shock, then changed the subject, "So, the way your royal family gets help is by knocking someone unconscious and forcibly kidnapping them?"
About this—
Princess Emerald's sparkling eyes showed apology as she bowed slightly to Chess. "I'm very sorry, Arcadios has probably misunderstood me. His style of doing things has always been rather radical."
"Of course, I also bear some responsibility for not explaining things clearly enough."
She did give the order for Arcadios to bring Lucy to see her, but she didn't expect it to be done in such a brutal way.
Knowing the personality of the Fiore princess, Chess didn't dwell on it too much, but continued the previous topic: "So, how are you so sure that going through the Eclipse Gate will definitely allow us to return to four hundred years ago?"
"My father saw with his own eyes people from the past walk out of that door," Princess Emerald said in a deep voice.
"That information alone isn't enough. If I remember correctly, the Eclipse Gate was originally Zeref's magical creation, wasn't it?" Chase continued to ask.
"That's why this is the only way to eliminate it."
Princess Emerald's expression was resolute: "Even if it involves certain risks, or even bearing the stigma of being tainted by forbidden black magic, I am willing to take them!"
She's just that stubborn, or you could say she's too concerned about the country; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily fooled by Roger's few words.
This awareness is admirable, but unfortunately, he was too young and lacked the necessary composure and caution, which ultimately led to a major mistake and caused the whole situation to spiral out of control.
In Lucy's future storyline, which is one-to-one about ten thousand dragons destroying the world.
Thinking of this, Chess unceremoniously picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Princess Emerald ignored his trivial rudeness and asked, "So what do you mean?"
Yesterday's battle with the Holy Ten Jura has fully demonstrated Chase's terrifying power that transcends human capabilities.
Especially that enormous, deep blue body; even now, Princess Emerald still feels lingering fear.
If this man in front of you firmly opposes it, it will undoubtedly create unimaginable obstacles to the smooth launch of the Eclipse Project!
"Since it's about maintaining peace in the magical world, I, as a mage, have no choice but to contribute my share."
After finishing his tea, Chase looked up and met her gaze. "Don't worry, I'll pass on the message to Lucy and ask her to cooperate with the Eclipse plan so it can proceed smoothly."
On the way to Hualing Palace, after repeatedly pondering the future that Xia Lulu had foreseen, he thought of a possibility.
A way to fight and defeat dragons from four hundred years ago without causing destruction to the Kingdom of Fiore!
