Once Id and Ur had the help of Toki, an active member of the 'Magic Council', the probability of them finding a 'Dragon Lacrima' increased significantly.
On the continent of Ishgar, members of the 'Magic Council' possessed immense power and resources.
"Fairy Tail?!"
At this moment, Id, who had been silent, suddenly noticed the 'keyword'.
Even though Id hadn't watched the anime Fairy Tail, he had heard of it.
Yes, it was only at this moment that Id finally realized what kind of world he had transmigrated to!
"Yes."
"The place we are going to on this trip is the Mage Guild Fairy Tail."
Ur paused slightly here and said with some distress, "By the way, I haven't told you about Mage Guilds yet, right?"
"In this world, Mages are roughly divided into two categories: solitary practitioners like us, and professional Mages affiliated with various Mage Guilds."
Ur explained to Id what exactly a Mage Guild was.
"Professional Mages?"
Id savored Ur's words.
"Correct."
"The main source of income for these professional Mages is earning remuneration from employers by completing missions posted in the guild."
"As for Senior Makarov, whom we are looking for, he holds the position of Guild Master in Fairy Tail, a famous Mage Guild in the Kingdom of Fiore."
Ur explained.
"Understood."
"So a Mage Guild is basically an intermediary platform for posting missions, right?"
Id roughly understood the meaning of a Mage Guild.
"Uh."
"This..."
"How should I put it?"
"A Mage Guild is still quite different from an intermediary platform."
"It's a relationship much closer than that."
"Anyway, I can't explain it clearly to you right now. You'll understand everything once you enter a real guild."
Ur was at a loss for how to explain the relationship between Mages and Mage Guilds to Id at the moment.
After realizing she couldn't explain it clearly no matter what, Ur simply stopped trying. Anyway, the purpose of her and Id's trip was to go to a famous Mage Guild on the continent.
"Okay."
"Whatever you say."
Id said, reaching out to gently stroke Ur's cheek.
"Ahem."
Just as Id and Ur were displaying their affection as if no one else was around, a light cough interrupted their thoughts.
"Hmm?"
Id turned around and saw Council Member Toki looking at them somewhat awkwardly, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
"Council Member Toki, is there anything else?"
Id looked at Council Member Toki, who hadn't left yet, and asked with some confusion.
"Actually, just now, I learned some intelligence from my subordinates that might be useful to you couple."
Toki explained.
"Oh?"
"What intelligence?"
Id's eyes lit up as he asked Toki.
"Although it's not intelligence about a 'Dragon Lacrima', it is somewhat related."
"According to my subordinates, they once received intelligence that villagers had sighted a giant dragon in the outskirts of Rosemary Village in the Kingdom of Fiore."
"And as far as I know, the so-called 'Dragon Lacrima' is made using a certain material from a giant dragon."
Toki relayed the intelligence he learned from his subordinates to Id.
"Someone sighted a giant dragon?"
"Okay, thank you so much! This intelligence is very useful to us."
Id's eyes lit up. This intelligence was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
"However, Mr. Id."
"There is one thing I still have to remind you of."
Toki looked at Id, who was moved by his intelligence, and couldn't help advising.
"I advise you not to take this intelligence too seriously. The authenticity of the intelligence remains to be verified."
Toki's words carried a bit of seriousness. He was a person who strove for perfection and cared about details. Generally, intelligence like this, where the truth hadn't been confirmed, could only be called 'rumors' to him.
"In fact, if I hadn't asked my subordinates today if they knew about the 'Dragon Lacrima', those brats wouldn't have reported this matter to me at all."
"After all, creatures like giant dragons have disappeared from the stage of the Ishgar continent for four hundred years."
"It's not that we haven't received intelligence about dragon sightings before, but none of them were true."
"People living on this continent often confuse various super-large flying magic beasts with giant dragons."
"I told you this intelligence this time also because you happen to be going to Magnolia Town in the Kingdom of Fiore."
"Coincidentally, Rosemary Village, where the incident happened, is also in the Kingdom of Fiore. I thought you might want to stop by and check it out."
Toki explained the matter regarding the intelligence.
"Even so, thank you very much for your help."
"We shouldn't delay; we'll get going first."
After receiving the intelligence about the dragon from Toki, Id didn't hesitate. He pulled Ur and headed west.
With Ultear's safety at stake, Id had to hurry.
"Mr. Id and Ms. Ur, I sincerely wish that you will eventually get your wish."
Council Member Toki looked at the backs of Id and Ur and offered his sincerest blessings.
"Council Member Toki, what should we do with the body of Brain, the Chief of the 'Bureau of Magical Development'?"
At this time, a Council staff member approached Toki and asked.
"Bury it."
Toki looked at Brain's body with some disgust.
Honestly, for a heinous existence like Brain, his body should be left here to feed the wild dogs by the roadside.
But Toki was ultimately too kind-hearted. He couldn't bear to see someone not rest in peace even after death, even if the person was a villain when alive.
Thus, under the joint efforts of Id, Ur, and the 'Magic Council', the 'Bureau of Magical Development' was completely destroyed.
Those children captured by the 'Development Bureau' for experiments also received help from the 'Council' and were sent back to their respective parents.
Meanwhile.
Id and Ur continued on their journey holding Ultear.
One week later.
Within the borders of the Kingdom of Fiore.
"Hey, hey!"
"Isn't this continent a bit too big?"
Id looked at the map of the Kingdom of Fiore he bought from a vendor and exclaimed.
Before Id came here, he never imagined that a country that occupied only an inconspicuous little corner on the map of the Ishgar continent at the mayor's house, looking very small, was actually as large as Alabasta in the One Piece world, a country comparable to a continent.
No matter how you look at it, this is too exaggerated, right?
At the same time, according to Id's deduction, the size of the Ishgar continent was conservatively estimated to be as large as the entire North Blue.
