Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 197: Jude, I’m So Sad!

The Heartfilia Family...

About three hours had passed since Evan left the Heartfilia Family.

In just three short hours, the few who originally received the Celestial Spirit Key from the Twelve Celestial Spirit were unwilling to lend the key to the Heartfilia Family, and even demanded an exorbitant price...

The Celestial Spirit Mages who intended to directly ask for the shares of the Heartfilia Family had already placed the key on the desk of Jude.

According to Jude's servants, these keys were all sent by the Magic Council. At the same time, according to the Magic Council, some of the keys in front of them were now in a state of no owner. This was because a few Celestial Spirit Mages were rude to the regulators of the Magic Council, and they even fought with each other. Now, they are locked in prison in the name of provoking trouble. At the same time, all their Celestial Spirit Keys have been taken away...

This is from Sagittarius, this is from Virgo, this is from Leo, and Aries, including the Scorpio in my hand, and Capricorn. Now, we have gathered half of the Twelve Celestial Spirit Key.

Layla looked at the golden keys in front of her, her eyes shining with light. The corners of her mouth subconsciously rose. After seeing these golden keys, the Celestial Spirit Mage genes that had been passed down for four hundred years began to stir again.

"Is this strength of the Magic Council? We can't get the keys no matter what. With a word from the Magic Council, these Celestial Spirit Mage will obediently send the keys over. "

Jude looked at his wife, who was holding the key and smiling, and his mood became a lot better.

"After all, Isghar Magic World is under the control of the Magic Council. The first recorded Mage Guild in the world was established about a hundred years ago, but the Magic Council of Isghar has been standing on this continent for more than four hundred years..."

After hearing Jude's words, Layla smiled. It was rumored that the world's first Mage Guild was born in the Northern Continent. However, no one knew when the Magic Council on these continents was born. It seemed that the Magic Council was born from the world. They had been trying to balance the life between the mages and ordinary people, doing their best to prevent the mages from affecting the lives of ordinary people...

As for who the founder of the Magic Council was, why was there a Magic Council on every continent, and when the Magic Council was founded? Perhaps only the higher-ups in the Magic Council would understand the history of the Magic Council!

"Next is to wait for the remaining six keys and pray that Evan, who goes to the Western Continent, can really find Grammi and successfully get the key of Aquarius."

After listening to Layla's words, Jude nodded slightly. After all, he was not a mage and knew nothing about the Magic World. So he did not ask more. Instead, he frowned and waited for the rest of the keys and the good news from Evan who went to the Western Continent.

"Don't worry! Jude, I believe Evan will definitely find the key that Grammi have and will bring it back to me."

Layla played with the golden keys in front of him as if she was stroking her children. Just like her friends, because Layla regarded the Celestial Spirit as companions, the Celestial Spirit respected Layla so much.

"Next, I want to make a temporary contract with these Celestial Spirit..."

She took out a key from the six keys and whispered.

Because other than the Cancer and the Capricorn key, the rest of the keys had never been owned by Layla.

In order to open the Eclipse Gate smoothly, Layla decided to build a good relationship with the Celestial Spirits corresponding to the keys so that when the 7th of the 7th month of the 17th year, she could successfully complete the long-cherished wish of the Heartfilia Family.

"Layla, do I need to get up and leave?"

After hearing Layla's words, Jude stood up and asked Layla.

"No need..."

"It's just a temporary contract. You can continue to be busy with your work..."

Layla smiled after hearing what Jude said.

"Alright."

Jude returned to his seat after hearing Layla's words. At the same time, he was also curious about Layla's Celestial Spirit Magic. He heard that Celestial Spirit Magic was a very ancient and powerful magic, so Jude also wanted to see if this magic was really as magical as the rumors said. Maybe it was because Evan's magic was too magical that even Jude, who had never cared about magic in the past, began to have a yearning for magic.

"Open it! The Lion Gate!"

The first thing Layla opened was the Lion of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, the Celestial Spirit Gate.

"Peng..."

As Layla turned the golden key in her hand, a handsome man with short orange hair, a suit, and a pair of sunglasses appeared in front of Layla.

"Miss, Leo is honored to be summoned by you..."

"The moment I heard your voice, Leo knew that you were destined to be my master..."

The Celestial Spirit of Leo stepped in front of Layla and held her slender waist with one hand. She looked at her delicate face and smiled.

"Kacha..."

The next second, before she could say anything, Jude, who had been watching her summon the Celestial Spirit, had broken the pen in his hand into two.

"Huh?"

Hearing the voice, Leo turned around and looked. After seeing Jude, he was stunned.

"This beautiful lady, that uncle, is he the father of the lady?"

Looking at Jude's old face, Leo thought for a while and turned to ask Layla.

"Haha, you are really rude. That is my husband."

Layla seemed to be used to the Celestial Spirit character of Leo. She only covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What?"

"I'm sorry, Madam."

"It was my fault for being so rude to a married woman. I was rude, so please forgive me for my rude behavior."

As he spoke, Leo knelt down on one knee in front of Layla and kissed the back of Layla's white hand.

"Gabeng..."

Then, the sound of a fountain pen cracking came from the direction of Jude again.

Juade is jealous and his face turned sour...

"So is Madam planning to sign a contract with me?"

Leo looked at Layla and asked softly.

"Yes, but it is just a temporary contract..."

"Forget it, I'll call all of you out and sign the contract together."

Layla thought for a moment and felt that it was too troublesome to explain one by one, so she picked up the second golden key with her fair palm.

"Madam, don't blame me for being too talkative. If you want to open the door of two Celestial Spirits at the same time, the magic energy required is not as simple as one plus one..."

When Leo saw Layla holding the second key of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, he was stunned and immediately warned.

However, before Leo could say anything else, Layla had already moved.

"Open it! The Maiden Gate..."

"Open it! Sagittarius Door ---"

"Open it! The Archer Gate..."

She quickly swiped her left hand across the Virgo, Sagittarius, and Aries keys.

In the next second, three more golden rays of light flashed in the room along with the three magic arrays.

"Hello! Hello! This is Sagittarius..."

The Celestial Spirit of Sagittarius was a strange middle-aged man with a horse hood on his head.

"Queen, are you looking for me?"

Virgo Celestial Spirit, a beautiful girl with cherry pink hair.

"That? Well, sorry..."

The Celestial Spirit of Aries, a delicate girl with long pink hair.

"Sagitarius, Virgo, and Aries..."

Leo looked at the three Celestial Spirit in the room, and his eyes widened.

Excellent! What an excellent Celestial Spirit Mage!

To be able to open the door of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, the magic power in his body is already excellent. Those who can complete one body and open two are geniuses! And the Celestial Spirit Mage who can complete one body and three open, that level is rare in the entire history...

On the other hand, Layla had completed all four parts of her body!

Before today, Leo had never seen a Celestial Spirit Mage of this level.

"Well, after all, I haven't used Celestial Spirit Magic for a long time. Just opening four doors at the same time makes me feel weak. In short, I want to make a long story short. I hope everyone can be true and listen to what I say!"

Layla gently wiped the sweat on her forehead. Layla, who had not used Celestial Spirit Magic all year round, finally felt a little tired after opening four doors in one breath.

This made Layla decide to take advantage of the fact that she still had about a year to recover her physical strength. She wanted to recover to her peak state on the 7th of the 7th month of the 17th year.

"Okay, my dear wife..."

"Understood, Milady Queen..."

"Okay, okay..."

"Okay, okay..."

Leo, Virgo, Aries, and Sagittarius nodded at the same time after hearing what Layla said, indicating that they understood.

"That's actually what happened. It started four hundred years ago. I don't know if you have heard of the story of the Heartfilia Family and the Eclipse Gate..."

Layla Heartfilia sat on a stool and told the four Celestial Spirits about the history of their Heartfilia Family and the story of the Eclipse Gate.

After the four Celestial Spirits heard Layla Heartfilia, they all knelt down on one knee and swore an oath to Layla Heartfilia and reached a so-called temporary contract.
