Jose looked up at Hades, thinking to himself.
"If 100 million isn't enough?!"
"Then I'll offer 300 million!"
"If that's still not enough, then 500 million!"
"Honestly, I might not have anything else, but I'm not short on money..."
"If you think 500 million isn't enough..."
"Then take all my possessions! If all my assets are sold, I can at least raise 1 billion for you."
"No matter how much money it takes, I want that Light Magic Guild to become history!!"
Seeing that 100 million couldn't satisfy Hades' greed, Crawford continued to offer several more prices, finally settling the price in the 1 billion J range.
"How much did this old scoundrel embezzle?!"
"I don't believe he only has 1 billion! He has at least another billion at home!"
Jose Porla glanced at Crawford, silently speculating in his heart.
"Stop adding!"
"My point is, money doesn't work with me."
"Because I'm not short on money at all!"
"We are Magicians of a Dark Guild; we naturally take what we want."
Hades said, yawning. He seemed a little tired.
No wonder, who would have thought a rich clown would try to bribe an organization that often gets things for free with a pile of waste paper?!
Indeed, Hades always takes what he needs by force...
At the same time, Hades himself is not interested in worldly money. What he needs are mostly lost magic books.
"Then what do you mean?"
Crawford was stunned. He seemed to be thinking about what else he could offer to impress this leader of the dark world.
"Crawford, stop pretending in front of me..."
"You should know what I want most!"
"Now, tell me all the locations of ancient weapons recorded in the Magic Council ERA's database that you know of..."
Precht, also known as Hades, seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with Crawford and spoke directly.
"You're asking me to betray the Council?!"
Crawford's face suddenly changed. His expression was filled with panic, and his eyes flickered with struggle.
"Stop acting..."
"There's no one else here except the three of us."
"Who are you acting for?!"
"You've come to me, so you must be at your wit's end!"
"As for betraying the Magic Council ERA, the moment you came to me, it was already a betrayal..."
Precht's eyes held disdain as he spoke in a cold voice.
"Hehe..."
"You found out."
Crawford's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this... The Crawford who had been struggling just a second ago, looking as if he couldn't betray his conscience, immediately put on a fawning smile again.
Crawford took out a stack of pre-prepared documents from his embrace and smilingly presented them to Precht.
"Master Precht, these are all the information about ancient weapons, as well as their unlocking methods, recorded in the Magic Council ERA's database across the Ishgar continent and even the Earth-land World."
Crawford smiled like a pug at this moment.
"Oh?! You're thoughtful..."
Precht's finger moved slightly, and the documents in Crawford's hand seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, naturally floating into the air and slowly descending into Precht's aged hand.
"Let me see what weapons and super magic are recorded in these documents."
Precht murmured, silently flipping through the documents that Crawford had organized.
"Nirvana, the super-ancient world-balancing magic that can invert the attributes of light and darkness."
"Phoenix, the super-ancient destructive weapon, rumored to grant humans the coveted eternal life with just a single tear."
"fies, the super-magic pulse bomb, capable of disrupting the entire Magic balance of the Earth-land World, causing all magic in the world to vanish."
"Magic Spirit Power, the super railgun that draws Magic from the leylines, capable of wiping out an entire nation with a single shot."
"And Athena, the dragon-slaying weapon forged by the legendary alchemist Duke Barbaroa of the North Continent Kiltina…"
Precht's lips curled slightly upward after he finished reading the documents Crawford presented.
However, each time Precht mentioned an ancient weapon or a super-magic, Jose Porla's face would stiffen a bit more. He looked at Crawford beside him with horror in his eyes: "This guy, he really betrayed the Magic Council ERA this time! No, this isn't just betraying the Council; this is betraying the entire Light Magic world, betraying all of humanity on the Ishgar Continent! I seem to have boarded a pirate ship I can't get off."
Note: Although Jose Porla's methods were somewhat dirty and despicable, he had a very firm stance against Dark Magic Guilds. To become one of the Ten Wizard Saints, he eliminated many Dark Magic Guilds for the Magic Council ERA.
"Any one of the ancient weapons recorded in these documents is enough to destroy the entire Earth-land World! Yet, for your own selfish desires, you handed this information to me, who is in the abyss, Crawford, you are truly heinous~"
Precht placed the documents beside him…
Counting the various research materials he inherited from the former director of the Magic Development Bureau, Brain, which Brain hadn't had time to use, he now possessed the R-System (Tower of Heaven), the Magic Development Device Modified (Tower of Heaven, a device that forcibly developed Jellal's Magic), and countless lost Magic. With these ancient weapons and super-magic, Precht finally wielded the power to contend with the Alvarez Empire, created by Zeref in the West Continent Alakitasia. Mavis would be protected by him, Precht.
However, speaking of it, only when these super-ancient Magic and weapons are in his, Precht's, hands, can they unleash their maximum power! The Magic Council ERA, for so many years, has actually been sitting on a gold mine without knowing how to use it.
For example, if the Magic Council were to use a super-magic railgun like Magic Spirit Power, it would at most achieve the power to wipe out any nation on the continent!
But if he, Precht, were to use it, with the pseudo-infinite Magic source, Grimoire Heart, as its power source, Precht was confident he could use Magic Spirit Power to destroy the entire Alakitasia Continent, instantly annihilating the invincible Alvarez Empire.
And this is just using Grimoire Heart as the power source! If he were to use Lumen Histoire, which is the true infinite Magic source, Fairy Heart, as the power source for Magic Spirit Power, Precht might even be able to incinerate the surface of the Earth-land World, perhaps even destroying the entire planet.
Indeed, these super-magic weapons…
Are best used in conjunction with other super-magic weapons.
"So, now we can talk about…"
"Why did you travel so far, even betraying the entire Light Magic world, just to deliver this great gift to me! Which Magic Guild do you want me to help you deal with?!"
Precht put down the documents, looked at Crawford and Jose, and asked.
"We hope you help us deal with Fairy Tail!"
Crawford now believed he had the upper hand…
So, he slowly stood up from the ground, looked up at Precht on the throne, and spoke the name of the Magic Guild that made him so furious.
"Fairy Tail?!"
