Just as Noah was taking Makarov to comprehend his domineering aura, something not insignificant happened at the headquarters of the Magic Council.
An undercover agent from the Council's action force lurking in the dark magic world sent back a piece of intelligence.
The most powerful "Devil's Heart" in the Dark Guild;
The most mysterious "Gate of Hades";
And the "Six Demon Generals", which was established not long ago but has developed rapidly and become the third largest guild of the dark forces.
These three dark guilds that control most of the dark magic world are likely to form a dark alliance in the near future.
This poses a great threat to the order of the wizarding world and is undoubtedly a major event.
The sixth councillor, Yajima, and the captain of the action force, Lahar, jointly asked Speaker Crawford to take the alliance of the Dark Guild seriously.
However, although Speaker Crawford holds a high position, he is a man of narrow vision. He believes that with the existence of the "Ten Holy Wizards", the Dark Guild is not worth mentioning at all.
No matter how powerful the Dark Guild Alliance is, as long as the "Holy Ten" takes action, everything will be fine.
Especially the presence of the new 10th seat member "Zike Rein" has greatly increased the confidence of the Speaker.
Although this youngest senator in history is still in the "Holy Ten" probation period, his true strength is enough to rival his official predecessors in the Holy Ten, and he is a strong Saint Ten member of the Magic Council.
Therefore, in the eyes of Speaker Crawford, the possible alliance of the dark guild is not a big deal at all, but just a small matter worth mentioning.
The meeting ended, Rahal said goodbye to the angry Councillor Yajima and returned to the building where the action team was located.
"Oh, you're back, Rahal."
"From the looks of you, those congressmen have made a stupid decision again."
Lahar sighed. There was only one person in the Council headquarters who could be so disrespectful to the senators.
Dolanbart, the second-in-command of the action team, is Lahar's most capable assistant and also his best friend.
A somewhat antics guy who has illegal dealings with the Fairy Tail guild leader. His antics are in line with the characteristics of that guild.
However, Lahar chose to turn a blind eye to this.
Seeing his friend's tired look, Doranbart stopped teasing him and took out a first-class letter and put it on the desk. "This is from the wizard you mentioned last time, Nexus. I think this name is more like a code name."
"He just doesn't want to reveal his real name. After all, he killed a black priest. You know how crazy the people in the Black Magic Cult are."
Lahar simply replied to his friend, then opened the letter and read the contents with a frown.
"Doranbart, send out a notice."
"Ten days ago, with the help of the mysterious wizard Nexus, the action team eliminated five dark wizards who were harboring evil intentions in Mount Hakobe."
As Lahar's good friend, Dolanbart naturally read the letter and had long anticipated his friend's actions, so he prepared the content of the announcement in advance.
After dealing with this matter, Lahar sat down tiredly and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Regarding the alliance of the three major dark guilds, the Speaker can turn a blind eye, but as an action force, we can't do nothing like the people above."
Doranbart raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Lahar sighed and said, "Let our undercover agent first find a way to collect intelligence on the three major dark guilds, but also make sure he protects himself and allows him to evacuate when necessary."
Laharl values every one of his companions. Being an undercover agent in a dark guild is a life-threatening job and is very dangerous, but Laharl still hopes that his companion can return safely.
Hearing his friend's words, the smile on Dolanbart's face disappeared, replaced by a heavy feeling.
"Lahar, our undercover agent has been disconnected."
"I have prepared the report on triple the pension and am waiting for your signature."
A trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and thinking of the companion who volunteered to lurk in the dark forces, Lahar lowered his head deeply.
The evil darkness is ready to make a move, but the high-level order is occupied by short-sighted people. Although he is the chief of operations and is in charge of a large force of the Council, he can't do anything because of the orders from above.
"It's… terrible."
Quickly calming himself, Lahar signed his name on the pension report, but changed the original triple to five times.
The thing the Council has no shortage of is money, and he hopes that the families of his comrades can have a good life.
"Well, Deputy Captain Dolanbart, you should go and perform supervision work."
"Yes, Chief."
…
Only Lahar's office was left. Behind a document cabinet against the wall, a monitoring magic crystal was faintly emitting a faint light.
"Haha, Lahar, you are such an amazing and kind person."
"Unfortunately, the most useless people in this world are good people…"
Under the dark blue hair, there is a mark covering half of the right face. Zeke Rein ended the monitoring of Lahar with a look of disdain and looked at the black-haired beauty with a stunning figure next to him.
"Urutia, why did the wizard named Nexus get involved with the Black Magic Cult?"
The beautiful woman named Urrutia smiled and said, "Oh? Do you need a reason? The Black Magic Cult is punishable by anyone. Don't you hate them too?"
Unconsciously, a trace of bloodthirsty light flashed in Zeke Rein's eyes, and his expression turned cold, "Urutia, you really are talking about something irrelevant."
"I'll forgive you even if you don't agree with me. Get out of here."
Leading his men out of his office, Zeke Rein took out a blood-red magic crystal and called out, "Teacher, are you there?"
After a while, a calm reply came from the magic crystal, "Jellal, what is the matter that made you contact me? Don't expose it."
"Haha, don't worry, teacher. The upper echelons of the Council are all a bunch of idiots. The lower echelons are not qualified to approach me at all."
Zeke Rein glanced at his colleague with disdain and continued:
"Teacher, you should be careful in your recent cooperation with the Black Magic Cult. Recently, a mysterious wizard codenamed 'Nexus' seems to be targeting them."
"Don't worry, my cooperation with the Black Magic Cult has ended. I gave them the little mouse I just caught to play with."
The corners of Zeke Rein's mouth curled up, thinking of the conversation he heard when he eavesdropped on Lahar's office. "Hey, it's really pitiful for a member of the Council and an action unit to fall into the hands of the Black Magic Cult."
After ending the call, Zeke Rein took out a photo of a red-haired girl wearing armor and in battle, looking heroic.
Stroking the photo, the dark blue-haired boy revealed a complicated expression.
"Erza, you are living a very happy life now… I envy you."
"In a year at most, the tower will be completed and we will be able to meet again. By then, you will be the best sacrifice for me to resurrect the Black Mage."
"Don't blame me, it's the world that's wrong!"
