The "Yuri Transfer Incident" had only happened six or seven hours ago.
As long as they used the Super Archive's magical power detection function to check the surrounding fluctuations of magical energy and changes in magical particles, they could still obtain a lot of useful information.
"Look!"
"According to what's displayed here, around 2 p.m. this afternoon, the magical particles in this area were abnormally chaotic. The frequency of the magical fluctuations is over 80% similar to the frequency that appears when casting spatial magic."
"This indicates that at that time, some extremely powerful spatial magic indeed appeared here."
"Hmm… now we can be 100% certain that Yuri was absorbed away."
Precht subtly glanced at Edolas-Yuri: "So what should we do now to bring our Yuri back? To send this Yuri back?"
As soon as he said this, Edolas-Yuri, who had been standing silently like a wooden post, immediately spoke up to interrupt.
"Wait!"
"I don't want to go back so soon…"
Unfortunately, no one cared about his feelings.
After all, compared to this Edolas-Yuri in front of them, the real Yuri Dreyar, who was currently missing, was the true member of the "Fairy Tail"!
Precht and Zera leaned in from the left and right, putting their heads next to Weston, and their eyes fell on the Super Archive interface in front of him.
The virtual screen displayed massive amounts of data, dense, messy, and disorganized.
Zera quickly looked away.
Precht rubbed his brow and also looked away from the interface.
Even someone with Precht's outstanding magical talent couldn't help but feel dizzy when facing the incredibly complex data streams of the Super Archive.
"Can the magical effect be reversed? I remember you've studied this kind of 'counter' magic…"
"No way!"
Weston answered without even thinking: "The counter magic I use in combat is activated at the same time as the enemy's magic, using a special method to cancel out their spell. But this transfer magic has already ended long ago."
"In the end, I don't even know its source."
"If there were a Wizard skilled in spatial magic to help, maybe it could be useful, but I—"
"Wait, that's not right!"
Weston abruptly stopped speaking, and when he lifted his head again, his eyes had already hardened with determination.
He clearly knew a Wizard skilled in spatial magic!
Without wasting a moment, Weston opened a long-unused "communication software" and sent a call invitation to Elefseria, who was on another continent.
However…
Ten minutes passed, and there was still no response.
"No reply from the old man?"
Elefseria had stayed on Tenrou Island for two months before, so although a long time had passed, Zera still remembered him.
Weston shook his head helplessly: "We haven't been in touch for a long time. He probably forgot about this calling feature by now…"
"There's nothing I can do. Until he replies, I'll have to try it myself first."
After recording the past half-day of magical fluctuations nearby, Weston temporarily returned to the guild with the others and explained the situation to everyone.
Rita, upon learning the situation, felt both worried and uneasy: "Guild Master, if, as you suspect, Yuri was pulled into Edolas, could he be in danger?"
"You can rest assured!"
"Yuri may be impulsive and reckless, but his strength is formidable. We all know that, and you should have confidence in him as well."
Yuri originally came from a treasure hunter background, with excellent skills. After learning magic, his strength and stamina were enhanced, and having endured a year of war, his close combat skills now ranked in the top three in the guild.
Even if he went to Edolas and lost his magical support, he wouldn't easily be at a disadvantage.
Speaking of which, has Edolas already entered the "end of magic" era?
That's something he'd have to ask Edolas-Yuri about later…
"Weston is right."
Mavis patted Rita on the shoulder: "And don't forget, Yuri is a prince over there!"
Zera added teasingly: "Instead of worrying about him being in danger, think about what if he's blinded by his 'prince' status…"
Although she knew Zera was joking, trying to make her relax, Rita still panicked.
"Yuri is not that kind of person!"
"I believe the bond between us is stronger than any 'prince' or 'king' title!"
"He's definitely thinking of a way to come back now too!!"
…
Edolas, riverside in the wilderness.
"Hmm…"
"Where… am I?"
With a soft groan, Yuri slowly regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a night sky full of stars and a bright moon.
A gentle breeze carried the scent of soil and fragrant grass.
Suddenly, a fish leapt from the mossy water.
With a flick of its tail, water droplets splashed on his face.
The icy, cold water jolted Yuri, and the memories before losing consciousness surged back instantly.
The marketplace, slipping, containers…
"Oh no!"
"A date!!"
"What time is it now?!"
Yuri sprang up from the ground.
He had planned to meet Rita at 2 p.m., but it was already dark.
No doubt, he was late for the date.
But even if he was late, he had to rush to the West Gate immediately.
What if Rita was still waiting?
If she wasn't there, he would have to find her right away and apologize;
If she was…
Then he would have to apologize properly and make amends!
However, as Yuri regained full awareness, looked around, and prepared to leave, the scene before him froze him in place, forgetting to move.
"Where… is this?"
He was standing by the bank of a river in the wilderness, with a small town nearby.
But Yuri could tell—it wasn't Magnolia!
"What happened when I passed out?"
"Who brought me here?"
"Was this some prank by Precht and Weston?"
After thinking for a long time, Yuri suddenly had an idea. He placed his right fist into his left palm, and a sharp, clever look appeared in his eyes.
"Ah—I get it!"
"When I fainted at the marketplace and missed the date, Rita must have been upset. After she returned to the guild and mentioned it, Zera or someone else, unable to tolerate it, must have persuaded Weston to throw me here to teach me a lesson…"
In Yuri's view, the only person in all of Magnolia capable of moving him to this place without him knowing was Weston.
"Ah…"
"Can't be helped. Once I get back to the guild, I'll apologize properly to everyone!"
