Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

*

Back home, Aidan turned on the light and fumbled in the kitchen. Over the past months, little has remained intact. And it looks like no one really entered this house. In the past, Aidan made arrangements with the old man's landlord to delay the assignment. He understood well the work of magicians and was not averse to waiting. It's strange, of course, of him ... Although, it's even more strange that Aidan lived in this house at all and at the same time he now has to pay a lot for the past months.

- Well, it doesn't matter, I got some money from the task and from that robbery, and also from some bets on fights with magicians. Well, and also Everly, this duke drove me a decent amount ... If everything goes as it should, it will be possible to begin construction of his housing soon.

Uncorking a bottle of wine, Aidan lay down on the bed without taking off his shoes and dreamily held out:

- Yeah ... I'll build a mansion with a magical jacuzzi, library, wine cellar and hire a dozen lovely maids. That will be a fabulous life ... Of course, it will hardly be possible to enjoy it for a long time. Well, at least I can satisfy my greed, at least a little. It will be possible to gather there a small group of wizards whom I can find, like Ultear or someone else ... They will definitely need to go somewhere. It is not appropriate to bring my sister to this rented hut ... Although, maybe I will put the guild building in another place, who knows ...

After drinking some wine, Aidan smiled.

"Although, I'm unlikely to appear there more often than here. In any case, as long as I have money, I should buy land. I will deal with the territories and calculate how much money will come out for me. Thanks to Everly, I have five Llamas, from the last reward for the task there is almost nothing left, so they can not be counted ... however, I took almost two Llamas somewhere from that collector when I appropriated the Lacrima. In general, I have somewhere around six, almost seven. This can hardly be enough ... "

After finishing his wine, Aidan lay down on the bed and dozed off. He wanted to sleep well before going to the old man nirvit. Charlie will definitely not wait, she still lacked to hatch somewhere else.

The next day, as usual, for lunch, with a bottle of wine in hand, Aidan arrived at the guild with measured steps. Naturally, he was not the first ...

With a wry grin, the guy yawned, took a good sip of wine, and stepped onto the creaky floor.

- ABOUT! Aidan! - I heard a voice nearby. Turning around, he found Macao grinning.

- Who drinks in the morning? Decided to teach the liver from childhood? Commendable!

- I'm thinking about it before ... ha. How is your son?

- All perfectly! - the magician smiled happily: - The most glorious child that I have seen!

- Haha, happy for you.

After exchanging a few more words, Aidan got to the bar, where Makarov was already quietly drinking.

- You don't often see you here at a time like this.

The old man slapped a whole mug of some booze and, laughing, said:

- You would have looked here even more often, you would not be so surprised.

- Well, as it is ... - wrapped in a chair, Aidan put his elbows on the bar and thoughtfully examined the guild:

- I like it here more and more ...

- Hmm, - Makarov grunted: - Again, somewhere soaped?

- There is such, we need to finish one thing ... - without finding any of his friends in the guild, Aidan just crossed his eyes with Mira, and then nodded to Elfaman.

- Well, - Makarov looked at the guy with a grin: - Especially without stopping. I see you have become stronger, this is very helpful. I spoke to Goldmine, I heard about your run-in with Bacchus ...

Aidan looked at Makarov in surprise:

- Master ... uh, if this is about that inn, then that crazy drunk is to blame!

- Really? - the old man gazed menacingly: - I heard that it was you who were that crazy drunk!

- Uh ... We just drank a little, sat ... Well, we had a little fight, who knew that he was so strong ...

- Well, of course, that's how it happens! - the old man grunted with displeasure: - You better say what ... Who won?

- Don't you know?

"Goldmay said you both got drunk and then disappeared.

- Oh, well ... There was a case. He did not pat me weakly, but you can not worry, I finished him properly.

In fact, Aidan embellished it a little, in that skirmish he first learned what the Great Speed ​​means, it was the first fight in which he almost lost. And in fact, he lost in the first encounter, without the magic of life, he most likely could not even continue. An adult and strong wizard from Cerberus turned out to be simply from the Major League. Prior to that, Aidan had challenged many guilds and their strongest wizards around his age, but none of them made him tense. So he raised the stakes and picked the older people, which is what happened that day in Cerberus. Of course, in the Heel of the Mermaids there were opponents not from the weaklings, but it was Baccus who was the one who defeated him in the first clash. True, after, it all ended in a glorious booze, which Goldmine did not seem to mention to Makarov ... Actually, Aidan did not touch on this topic either.

- Here it is ... - Makarov thoughtfully scratched his gray beard: - I, you know what I think ... The exam is coming soon, I had doubts, but since you were able to impress my old friend, I think you should take the exam there is. In any case, there are not many candidates this year who have a chance to pass.

"Um," Aidan put down the bottle. "Are you talking about the senior wizard exam?"

- About him, - Makarov finally drained his glass and jumped off the chair: - Don't be late, I think everything will start in a month. If you're going to leave again, don't expect me to wait for you, okay?

Aidan just nodded and bowed his head thoughtfully.

"Exam means ... Pretty quick ... Is it worth it?" - returning his gaze to the retreating back of the Master, Aidan suddenly changed in his face and whispered softly:

- Again this feeling ...

Looking at the far corner of the guild, right by the stairs, the guy narrowed his eyes.

- Such power ... What is it?

- Mm? - Makarov turned around: - What are you talking about?

Aidan returned his gaze to the old man and smiled calmly.

- No, it's okay ... I think I'd better go.

- Uh-huh, - Makarov nodded with a squint, watching the guy pass by, heading towards the exit.

Of course, the Master didn't understand anything. Aidan was already beginning to suspect the significance of this strange feeling. Until now, he could not passively feel the vitality, unless he specifically concentrated on it. Only, even so, for the second time in the guild, he felt huge flows of life energy, mixed with the power of death itself. The sensation was vague, but ... Probably it's all about the sealing lacrima, which contains these two forces. Actually, it's pretty amazing that he could feel her. But, Aidan simply could not think of anything else ... In this guild, only the Fairy Heart is able to manifest itself so strongly in front of the Killer of the Gods of Life and Death. It worried and attracted him at the same time. He tried to learn his magic, and contact with this lacrima could help ... But it's unlikely that this can be done.
