Hmm, the youth's name was Macbeth; originally, in Brain's plan, the codename he gave this youth was 'Night,' and he was an indispensable member of the Six Demon Generals of the Dark Magic Guild he would establish in the future. Unfortunately, Brain was killed by Medivh, and all these highly talented youths ultimately benefited Old Pu, who picked up the slack.
"Unfair! It's completely unfair…"
"Why is Heaven so partial to Fairy Tail?"
"Why is this?!"
This made Jose feel another surge of jealousy; he truly didn't understand why these talented youths either ran to Fairy Tail or to a Fairy Tail branch! Heaven was truly unfair, not favoring his Magic Guild Phantom Lord at all, giving him only a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp…
Oh, he almost forgot, his Phantom Lord had already disbanded~
Now Phantom Lord had been renamed 'Luminas Guardians'~
He had also become the Guild Master of a Fairy Tail Guild branch.
Jose truly wanted to cry; within a single year, he had been beaten by Fairy Tail twice in a row!
He finally swallowed his pride and decided to seek refuge with the strongest Dark Guild on the continent, intending to use the Dark Guild's power to deal with Fairy Tail, only to discover that this Dark Guild was run by Fairy Tail?!
In the end, not only did he almost die, but his reputation was completely ruined, and his status plummeted from being the Guild Master of Phantom Lord, originally on equal footing with Makarov, the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, to becoming Old Ma's little brother's little brother.
Jose, a dignified Saint Ten Wizard, had his status astonishingly demoted twice within a few minutes—that's unheard of!
Look at the mess this caused?!
"Jose, I'm truly sorry this time."
"I never expected such an outcome…"
"It seems we can't count on Grimoire Heart."
Crawford Shem leaned on his cane, his expression filled with sorrow.
"…"
Jose didn't want to say anything more to Crawford Shem.
Yes…
Although Crawford Shem did indeed save Jose's life at the crucial moment just now, Jose admitted that much.
However, if Crawford Shem hadn't insisted on bringing him to Grimoire Heart for help in the first place, Jose would fundamentally never have encountered Precht, who had been missing from the continent for many years, and certainly wouldn't have nearly been killed by Precht!
"We can only place our hopes on Tartaros, the most mysterious Dark Magic Guild in Ishgar, and also one of the oldest Magic Guilds in the world!"
"Rumor has it that Tartaros is also called Zeref's bookshelf, a Dark Magic Guild composed entirely of demons recorded in Zeref's, and its danger level might even be higher than Grimoire Heart! But it is our last hope."
Crawford Shem spoke earnestly.
Hmm, the reason Crawford Shem saved Jose Porla's life at the crucial moment wasn't because Crawford Shem suddenly had a change of heart and decided to be a good person!
It was simply because Crawford Shem greatly valued Jose's strength.
After all, having a Saint Ten Wizard by his side would give him a bit more confidence when negotiating with these Dark Magic Guilds.
"Do you think I still believe you?"
Jose glanced at Crawford Shem, his voice cold.
This time, thanks to Crawford Shem, he not only lost his Guild but almost lost his life!
Next time, who knows what he'll lose?!
"Jose, you have to believe me!"
"Tartaros was founded even earlier than Fairy Tail; it's impossible for them to have any connection with Fairy Tail!"
"Moreover, the members of Tartaros are all demons from Zeref's; I don't believe Fairy Tail could possibly have any connection with the legendary Black Wizard Zeref?!"
"As long as we get help from Tartaros and obtain the black magic from Zeref's, let alone Fairy Tail, we can even deal with them if Grimoire Heart is added."
Crawford Shem was indeed the former Council Chairman of the Magic Council; his ability to make grand promises was truly amazing.
"Hehe…"
"Tartaros is not like Grimoire Heart; their whereabouts on the continent are erratic. Wait until you actually find the exact location of Tartaros, then come and discuss this with me!"
"Crawford Shem, I'm telling you, you owe me this! Right now, my Magic Guild Phantom Lord, which I've invested in for many years, has become someone else's property. How exactly are you going to repay what you owe me?!"
Jose sneered, holding a grudge against Crawford Shem this time.
However, just as Crawford Shem said…
Jose also didn't believe that the Magic Guild Fairy Tail could have any connection with Tartaros, the most mysterious Dark Magic Guild in Ishgar, known as Zeref's bookshelf! He even less believed that Fairy Tail could have any connection with the legendary Black Wizard Zeref!
On the other side.
Inside the enormous magic tower of the Dark Magic Guild Grimoire Heart.
After Jose Porla and Crawford Shem left, the executives of the Grimoire Heart Guild gathered here.
They were Macbeth (Midnight), Sawyer (Racer), Sorano (Angel), Erik (Cobra), and Richard (Hoteye), who were originally supposed to become the Six Demon Generals.
And among the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Zancrow, Rustyrose, Kain Hikaru, and Azuma.
And the one who replaced Ultear as the head of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, and is now the head of the Ten Kin of Purgatory, is naturally Jellal Fernandes.
Just like Jose Porla's previous unwillingness, among the world's geniuses, Fairy Tail Guild occupies eight parts, Grimoire Heart, as a Fairy Tail Guild branch, gets one part, and the other Magic Guilds in Ishgar share one part.
"Everyone, let us toast to the greatness of Fairy Tail!"
Precht said, raising his wine glass high, waiting for these exceptionally talented children to grow into his pawns in the near future.
Adding the powerful pawns Makarov had gathered, such as Gildarts, Ur, and Medivh, as well as the power of those ancient weapons…
Precht didn't believe that he still couldn't protect Mavis, whom he regarded as his treasure, from the Alvarez Empire.
Hmm, the kindest and cutest Mavis in the entire universe shall be protected by Precht Gaebolg.
