Feeling Makarov's vague gaze, Zeke Rein's heart sank, and he realized that his body of thought had been seen through.
It is worthy of being the old-fashioned Saint Ten.
He personally escorted the main body and held a high-level meeting just to delay himself so that his guild members would have time to go to the Tower of Paradise and find evidence that "Zeke Rein" and "Jellal" are the same person.
After all, as a senator, unless Makarov has absolute evidence in hand, the top leaders of the Senate will not believe his one-sided statement.
Most of the parliamentarians are used to being high and mighty. They can allow someone to be on an equal footing with them, but the authority of the parliamentarians must never be violated.
Zeke Rein smiled slightly. It seemed that he had to thank these old guys for giving him time to operate.
"Everyone, the owner of the Paradise Tower that Mr. Makarov mentioned, Gerard, is my long-lost twin brother."
"I am not saying this to plead for mercy, but the most important thing now is how we should deal with an already completed 'R System'."
The Tower of Paradise was not completed, and Zeke Rein knew this better than anyone else. The reason he emphasized "completion" was to confuse the public and make the congressmen nervous.
Sure enough, these words made the congressmen feel uneasy, because that was the "masterpiece" of the black magician, a black magic that was said to be able to resurrect the dead.
Seeing this, Zeke Rein struck while the iron was hot and dropped a bombshell, "I've learned from Jellal that the person he plans to resurrect with the 'R System' is the creator of this magic!"
"Dark Mage——Zerf!"
When these words were spoken, not only the congressmen, but even Makarov was shocked.
Makarov didn't understand whether this was a white noise bomb thrown by Zeke Rein or Jellal's true intention.
Speaker Crawford was frightened by the news and couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he looked at the new member of parliament, "Zike, what do you think we should do?"
After secretly cursing Crawford as a idiot, Zeke Ryan spoke with great righteousness:
"My opinion is that the Tower of Paradise must not remain in this world!"
"In order to completely eliminate the "R System" from this world and prevent the return of the Black Mage, we only have to take one approach now!"
In the parliament seat, Zeke Rein said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Speaker, and all the parliamentarians, it's time to activate the 'Magic Spirit Power'!"
Hearing this, the other parliamentarians looked conflicted.
The Ishgar continent once suffered a dark disaster due to the existence of the "R System", so the Council regarded this magic as a taboo.
Under normal circumstances, since traces of the "R System" have been discovered, according to the Council's procedures for dealing with black magic, it must be destroyed.
But… in the area covered by the "magic spirit power", everything will be destroyed.
This is a terrifying magic that can destroy a country with one blow. The Council will not activate this trump card unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although Crawford is short-sighted, he is not a fool.
Based on the experience of the siege of the Paradise Tower 7 years ago, there must be a large number of innocent people in the Paradise Tower. If the "Magical Spirit Power" is activated, ordinary people among them will also suffer.
Crawford just wanted to keep his seat as speaker, so he hesitated and said, "Let's wait for the Fairy Tail to send back the news first. What if they can solve the problem?"
At this moment, the magic crystal in Makarov's pocket vibrated, and a coordinate appeared from it. It was Noah and his group who found the Tower of Paradise.
With the coordinates provided by Makarov and the magic satellite positioning of the Magic Council, a spiked tower reaching into the sky appeared clearly on the big screen in the conference room.
Deep in the Kaljiru Sea.
Looking up at the nightmare tower that was once isolated on the island, Erza was filled with emotion.
The pain is already in the past. The girl came today to save her companions who once fought against the guards of Paradise together, but were deceived by Jellal to continue building the Tower of Paradise.
After Noah sent the message to Makarov, he asked Snow White to eat the communication magic crystal. It would be better for such an expensive magic item to stay in Snow White's magic cheek pouch.
As the ship approached, the Tower of Paradise was already in sight.
Looking around, there were several fully armed figures walking back and forth outside the tower, and at the entrances and exits leading into the tower, there were wizards guarding them personally.
With this level of defense, it would be impossible to sneak in secretly.
However, Noah did not think of sneaking in. After all, if a sailboat appeared on the sea, it would be impossible for the patrol team not to discover it unless they were all blind.
Looking at the patrol team gathering on the shore, Lucy said weakly, "It looks like there are a lot of people guarding here. Do we really have to charge in directly? Or…"
"Don't worry."
Noah swaggered to the bow and looked at the shore with disdain, "Who do you think we are? Pull the boat over!"
Lucy then remembered that Erza, Natsu and Gray were traveling with her, and she immediately felt more confident and no longer worried.
"Who is it?!"
"This isn't the place for you guys…ah!"
Before the patrolman could finish his words, Noah kicked him unconscious. The young man was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and none of the patrolmen around him could withstand his punch.
In a moment Noah had cleared the area.
"Really? Please leave a few for us…"
While Gray complained about Noah's strong monster, he grabbed one of Natsu's feet and threw him onto the shore.
As his body left the vehicle, the strength immediately returned to Natsu, and he somersaulted in mid-air and landed steadily.
"It feels so good! I'm on fire!"
Looking at Natsu who was revived with full blood, Noah felt that this guy was too energetic and could get passionate anytime and anywhere.
There was a commotion coming from the front, and then Noah saw a large number of guards pouring out of the Tower of Paradise.
Noah turned around and put the hamster Snowy on the boat. He nodded its little head and said, "Don't just focus on eating. Help us keep an eye on the boat."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Snow White agreed and immediately jumped towards the bag of snacks that Noah had left on the boat.
Noah only gave Snow White this brief warning. When he looked back, he saw that the guards who were so aggressive just now had fallen to the ground.
Although they were soldiers, they were still ordinary people after all. They were driven straight into by Natsu and Gray, and Erza even entered the Tower of Paradise before them.
Lucy knew that she lacked combat experience, so she did not follow her teammates in the charge. Instead, she followed behind with Happy and Cheese to deal with the fish that slipped through the net and the guards who got up again.
Watching his companions enter the tower one after another, Noah did not chase after them immediately, but instead observed the building.
Noah still cherishes the opportunity to get close to the forbidden black magic, even though it is still in an unfinished state.
Strolling around, touching the tower a few times as if strolling casually, Noah noticed something and smiled suddenly.
"I see..."
"It's just a huge container that receives magic power."
