Chapter 178 Legend of the Witch (Ch 178)

Jason works as a reporter for Sosara Weekly and is also an avid fan of the Fairy Tail Guild.

A large part of Fairy Tail’s image and personality in the outside world was promoted by him and Sosara.

Most of the titles such as “Demon”, “Fairy Queen” and “Fire Dragon” were spread or even invented by this magazine.

And Anke actually has a connection with Mr. Jason.

In fact, the first modeling assignment that Anke took, which made him unexpectedly famous in the kingdom, was from Jason.

At that time, Ethan was still a newcomer in Soshara, and he asked Anke for help in dealing with his superiors.

So when facing this former client, Anke was still somewhat polite. After answering a few questions, he let Elfman carry him away.

Fortunately, Ethan was tactful and went back to interview the president.

Looking at Makarov, who was trembling all over and claiming that he was determined to do his best to build a harmonious and friendly guild, Anke felt helpless.

Mirajane brought some drinks to Anke’s table and said with a smile, “Mr. Jason is still so enthusiastic.”

“That’s a good thing.” Anke took a sip of wine and introduced: “This is Wendy. She’s a guest at the guild and she’s also a dragon slayer.”

Wendy quickly stood up and bowed, praising him, “Nice to meet you, Miss Mirajane is even prettier than in the magazine.”

Mirajane put her hand on her face and said embarrassedly, “No, it’s hard to tell that Wendy is actually a dragon slayer.”

In the eyes of everyone in the guild, Dragon Slayers should all be tough fighting men, like Natsu, Gajeel and Laxus.

A young child like Wendy certainly doesn’t look like one raised by a dragon.

“Nani! Are you a dragon slayer too?”

Natsu appeared from nowhere and looked at little Wendy in surprise.

Gajeel was also watching from the side.

These two have been like the two generals lately, always staying together in wheelchairs…

Wendy nodded, and then said with some disappointment: “I am the child of ‘Tianlong’ Grandine, but I can’t find her now.”

Natsu and Gajeel looked at each other and asked, “Was Grandine also missing in X777?”

Wendy’s eyes lit up, she nodded vigorously and asked, “Yes, do you know where Grandigne went?”

Natsu and Gajeel shook their heads. Gajeel pointed at Natsu and said solemnly, “His dragon is called Igneel. I am Medalikana. Our dragon also disappeared in X777.”

“I don’t know why, I don’t know where he’s going. Really… that guy is always like this.”

Gajeel’s eyes flickered, but he was complaining mercilessly.

The atmosphere among the three dragon slayers suddenly became gloomy.

Then it was Naz who spoke again:

“By the way… who are you?”

“Her name is Wendy, and I invited her to the guild as a guest.” Anke suddenly interrupted, and then asked: “What about you two, have you finished the interview? I have some clues about dragons and I want to talk to you.”

Anke could clearly feel the eyes of the three people light up at the same time, and they asked in unison: “Really?!”

“Of course it’s true. Come to my house and I’ll help you sort it out and verify the matter.”

Then, Anke hesitated, looked at Mirajane and asked, “Are you free? Can you come to my house?”

As soon as these words came out, Wendy next to him seemed to think of the gossip that Jason had just mentioned, and couldn’t help but turn into a little steam girl.

Mirajane glanced at Wendy briefly, still looking gentle: “Okay, I’ll hand over my work and then I’ll be there.”

Anke’s original intention was actually to think that it was not a good idea to bring a little girl home, and if anyone told others about it, it would sound like kidnapping, so he planned to let Mirajane accompany her for a while.

Fortunately, Mirajane and I have a good understanding of each other.

Afterwards, Anke and a few others rushed home again.

After entering their own manor, Wendy and Gajeel, who had never been to Anker’s house, were stunned by the size of the manor.

Anke was already used to it, so he led them to his study and started the conversation.

“You should all be wearing the necklaces I asked Laxus to give you, right?”

Natsu and Gajeel nodded and opened their scarves and collars respectively, revealing gemstone necklaces of different colors.

“Wendy may not know, let me tell you what this thing does.”

Anke spoke slowly, trying to make the three confused people understand:

“You can think of this gem as some kind of genetic modification tool. I have previously extracted dragon elements from Natsu and enlarged them and implanted them into the gem. When a Dragon Slayer uses it, he can fully evolve into a dragon.”

“But when you two were fighting Laxus that day, there was clearly an outside force preventing you from turning into dragons.”

Gajeel propped his chin up and thought deeply, “If you put it that way, it seems to be like this. Although Laxus ate the gem later than us, he was the first to turn into a dragon.”

Natsu crossed his arms and thought back to the day. “Indeed, although Dragon King Mode is very strong, I always felt like there was something pressing against me and I had to transition to that mode.”

Anke took out a few tattered pages from the drawer and said, “These are the few words I found in the guild’s secret archives with great difficulty.”

“Legend has it that in an ancient kingdom, a powerful witch was born. In the midst of war, she longed for powerful strength to quell the chaos. So, guided by the benevolent god, she made a contract with a dragon and created a powerful magic: Dragon Slayer Magic!”

Natsu was stunned for a moment: “Created Dragon Slayer Magic? But Dragon Slayer Magic was taught to me by Igneel, shouldn’t it be invented by dragons?”

Anke glanced at him and said:

“This is just one of many theories about the origin of dragon-slaying magic. The key point is that later on, this witch betrayed God’s guidance and launched an even larger war after gaining powerful strength. As a result, she was cursed by God and her body turned into an evil dragon. She could never turn back into a human again.”

After reading it, Anke couldn’t help but complain in his heart that this curse was exactly the same as the one in Jellal’s version. Are these legends all wholesaled by the same merchant?

“Legends cannot be believed completely, but at least they are compiled by later generations based on facts, so the source is always credible.”

“For example, the so-called curse is actually just a side effect of dragon-slaying magic.”

“side effect?!”

Wendy couldn’t help but raise her hand and asked like a primary school student: “But we don’t feel anything at all?”

“It’s a very simple method. To put it bluntly, it’s ‘cheating’ magic.”

Anke looked at the three people standing there in a daze with burning eyes and said:

“As long as there is a real dragon hidden deep in your magic source, the target of the dragon power will be shifted and the dragon transformation will not take effect.”

“In other words, the dragon you’re searching for is most likely inside you, generating antibodies to transform you into a dragon.”
