After dinner, before Noah could even speak, Ultear took the initiative to share some information. However, it wasn't the gossip Noah wanted to hear, but rather detailed information about one of the three giants of the Dark Guild, "Oraclemon."
However, only Erza took it to heart. After all, Fairy Tail, as an orthodox guild, is naturally hostile to dark guilds like Oración Seis. Knowing more information is never a bad thing.
Noah and Mistgang weren't very interested; one was a lazy bum who just wanted to slack off, and the other was a secretive, shady mission fanatic.
"If I tell you this information, will you let me go?"
Hearing Urudia's words, Noah curled his lip, "At this moment? You must be joking."
Ultear's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "The strongest dark guild, 'Heart of the Devil,' is plotting against your 'Fairy Tail's' holy land, 'Tenrou Island.' I can be your inside man."
"Are you from the Devil's Heart?"
Noah frowned. Jellal and the Oración Seis were closely connected, and Ultear had revealed that she was connected to the Heart of the Devil. Both of these dark giants were involved in the Last Tower of Paradise project.
I had heard that the three major forces of the Dark Guild might form an alliance, and now it seems that it is not a possibility, but a fact.
"You're a member of the Dark Guild, you're not telling us this just to escape punishment, are you?"
"Sanctions? Heh..."
A trace of sorrow flashed in Ultear's eyes. Her sins were countless, and the council's trial was nothing more than a trivial matter to her.
"Let's make a deal: you help me take down Brian, the 'leader' of the Oración Seis."
"In return, I will tell you all the information about 'Heart of the Devil', and I will also give up the life of the mastermind behind Gerald's brainwashing and manipulation."
...
...
late at night.
On the small island, three people sat around a campfire.
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to let her leave like this?"
Noah idly poked at the campfire with a stick. Ultear had already sailed away in the ship she had come from and disappeared into the night. Erza had agreed to her terms.
Making a deal with members of a dark guild is certainly not in line with the identity of a legitimate guild member, but in order for Fairy Tail to better deal with the covetousness of Devil Heart, Erza felt it was necessary to take the risk.
Erza wasn't that concerned about the truth behind Jellal's brainwashing and drastic personality change.
After all, Gerald is now buried at sea. Even if we knew the truth, it wouldn't bring him back to life, nor would it cover up the crimes he committed.
Seeing Erza remain silent, Noah tactfully changed the subject.
"Mistgang, you said you came here to find traces of magic. May I ask what kind of magic it is?"
After much deliberation, Mystogan finally spoke to his two trusted companions, but he still withheld some information: "That magic can forcibly transfer magical power, as well as magical creatures, including humans."
"In short, it's a very dangerous spell."
Listening to Mystogan's vague explanation, Erza glanced at Noah, who had left a deep impression on her with the magic he used on the Tower of Paradise.
The fact that such a massive, overflowing magic crystal could be transferred feels somewhat similar to the magic described by Mystogan.
Could it be that Mystergan came here specifically for that magic?
Erza wasn't quite sure, so she looked at the white-haired boy beside her, only to find that Noah was staring straight at Mystogan without any attempt to hide it, as if he wanted to see right through Mystogan through his black robes.
That gaze held three parts doubt, three parts surprise, and four parts an unnamed emotion.
Erza had never seen Noah look at her like that before. She suddenly thought of the romance novels she only dared to read secretly in her dorm room, some of which contained taboo scenes...
Could it be that...?
"Cough cough cough..."
Startled by her own wild thoughts, Erza gasped for breath and choked on her saliva, suddenly coughing violently.
Although they didn't know what the red-haired girl was thinking, her slightly strange and guilty gaze made Noah and Mistgang believe that it was definitely not a normal thought.
Getting back to the main point, Noah looked at Mistgang and smiled, "It's you! What a wonderful coincidence."
Noah's words left Mistorgon bewildered. Before he could figure out what Noah meant, Noah suddenly pointed towards the sea.
"Look! What's that!"
Seeing Noah, who was usually carefree, looking shocked, Erza and Mystogan felt a pang of anxiety, thinking something serious had happened, and quickly looked in the direction he was pointing.
However, under the moonlight, there was only a vast, calm sea, with nothing noteworthy to be seen.
Suddenly, Mistgang felt a gust of wind rush towards his face, but it was too late to dodge. In a flash, his mask was unexpectedly ripped off by Noah.
Erza also realized what was happening and thought it was Noah's prank. She looked at Mystogan curiously, though she had wanted to do the same thing to this overly mysterious companion for a long time.
However, every time Mystogan returns to the guild, Erza falls victim to his sleep magic first, so she rarely gets to see him, let alone uncover his disguise.
Erza, having finally gotten the chance to see the true face of "Fairy Tail's most mysterious man," was naturally unwilling to miss it, but what she saw made her jaw drop.
"Geralt?!"
Beneath the mysterious mask was a face exactly like Gerald's, even down to the mark on his right cheek!
How could this be? Could Gerald really have a twin brother?
But Erza quickly realized what was happening and stopped looking at Mystogan, who seemed at a loss for words. "Noah, is Mystogan the brother you're looking for?"
Noah nodded. The one Mystogan described was [Anima]. Only the Edolas would know that [Anima] could transfer magic from other worlds.
Furthermore, given that Mystogan and Jellal look exactly alike, Noah is now absolutely certain that he is Jellal's otherworldly counterpart, that is, Noah's older brother, the human prince of Edolas.
Noah never thought he would find his brother in the vast sea of people, but in fact he had already met his brother three times.
Passing each other by at Agalifa train station.
A minor incident occurred in the guild hall due to a misunderstanding.
And our encounter on the island today.
Looking at the bewildered Mystgang, Noah couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate; among countless people, he found that special someone in the most unexpected place.
