Marco couldn't help but laugh.
A 'dragon's daughter' looking for her mother and a 'rich boy' who couldn't make friends, appearing together in a dangerous forest - what an odd pair.
"Marco. Marco Dreyar, a mage of Fairy Tail."
After answering the question, Marco turned and left with his backpack.
He had his own business to attend to and no ti to dawdle with these two children.
"Mmm~ Fairy Tail... What's that?"
After Marco left, Wendy groggily woke up.
She had vaguely heard Marco's words.
Looking at his gradually disappearing figure, she asked Jellal beside her.
"Fairy Tail is a guild," Jellal slowly said, with a complex expression.
"A guild? What's that?" Wendy rubbed her eyes, full of confusion.
"A guild is a place where a group of mages gather together," Jellal adjusted his mood and told Wendy.
"Then Jellal, I want to go to a guild too. Is that possible? That way I won't be all alone anymore, right?" Hearing Jellal's words, Wendy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Her gaze held hope and her face was full of expectation.
"Mm, I'll take you to find a guild," Wendy's adorable look brought a smile to Jellal's face as he promised to help her find a guild.
This was perfect - what he needed to do was very dangerous and not suitable to bring Wendy along.
Finding a suitable guild for Wendy would be ideal.
Thinking of this, 'Fairy Tail' imdiately ca to Jellal's mind.
Too bad he didn't asked for more details earlier.
*****
On the other side, after parting ways with Wendy and Jellal, Marco would occasionally think of the two, mainly Wendy.
He kept feeling there must be so connection between Wendy and Natsu.
Although Wendy said she didn't know Natsu and her mother was the 'Sky Dragon' while Natsu's father was the 'Fire Dragon' - seemingly unrelated - the fact that they both got lost at almost the sa ti and the two dragons disappeared almost simultaneously, was clearly abnormal.
"So there really are dragons in this era..."
At this point, Marco had no choice but to believe it.
It couldn't be that Natsu and Wendy were conspiring to deceive people, right?
The 'Dragon Slayer Lacrima' made from processed dragon hearts could only prove that dragons existed in this world in the past.
But the appearance of Natsu and Wendy, the 'dragon children', undoubtedly proved that dragons still existed in the present era.
However, these dragons seed to have so strange quirk of adopting human children?
Marco couldn't figure it out.
He felt he should perhaps have brought Wendy back to the guild.
Unfortunately, when he was with those two, he had only paid attention to Jellal's magic staff and completely forgot about this matter, forgetting about Wendy who was sleeping soundly.
"Crack!"
Pulling off another 'horn' and tossing it into his bag, Marco counted - he already had eighteen.
He would soon reach the mission target, then could freely choose whether to continue or return.
As for chasing after Jellal and Wendy, with the map he had given them, those two must have gone far by now, possibly already out of the forest.
It wouldn't be easy to find them.
[Ding! Mission triggered!]
[Mission na: "A guild is where companions gather!"
Mission content: Wendy and Mystogan are both guild companions, but have now left the guild. Go and invite them to rejoin the guild! Gather all the companions again - Fairy Tail can't be missing anyone!
Mission progress: Invite Mystogan to join (Incomplete) Invite Wendy Marvell to join (Incomplete)
Mission rewards: Inviting one person to join rewards a random Bronze Cloth. Inviting both people to join rewards the "Cloth Repair Manual"]
Just as Marco was regretting forgetting to invite Wendy to join the guild, the [Saint System] popped up at the right ti.
'Seriously? Bro! You didn't trigger the mission when we t earlier and now you pop up after we've been apart for a while? Are you lagging? Please switch to a different operator! I'm begging you!'
Looking at this mission, Marco rolled his eyes so hard they nearly flipped over, ntally complaining furiously.
But his footsteps were very betrayed his thought.
Marco imdiately turned around and rushed towards the exit.
Jellal and Wendy were following the route he had drawn.
Wendy was a child with slow feet - maybe he could catch up!
Running back with his backpack, Marco pondered the [Saint System]'s gibberish.
The mission content contained a lot of information.
First was naturally the unfamiliar na 'Mystogan', which clearly referred to Jellal since he was with Wendy.
'Why that na? Is it his hidden true na?' Marco made a guess.
It was possible - giving oneself an alias when traveling alone was normal.
Then, what did it an that Mystogan and Wendy were both guild companions?
'Could it be they will join the guild in the future?' Marco continued guessing.
It was the only possibility, because judging by their ages, if they had been mbers of Fairy Tail before, Marco would have definitely t them.
'Though it's also possible the system is just spouting nonsense.'
No longer dwelling on the mission content, Marco's attention was drawn to the mission rewards - one mission actually had two rewards!
And both rewards were quite good.
The Bronze Cloth was a good item and the "Cloth Repair Manual" was even better!
Although Cloths could self-repair to so extent in their boxes, except for certain special Cloths, this thod could only repair minor damage.
If a Cloth was severely damaged, specialized techniques were needed for repair.
In the world of "Saint Seiya", these techniques were almost lost with the destruction of 'Mu continent'!
In this world, if a Cloth was severely damaged, Marco really had no one to turn to for repairs.
But now with this technique, he could repair damaged Cloths himself.
As for the raw materials needed to repair Cloths, like Stardust Sand, Marco actually had so.
They were all obtained from completing various small random missions issued by the [Saint System] before and could now be put to use.
With an excited mood, Marco charged ahead like a raging bull.
However, even after exiting the forest, he still couldn't find Jellal and Wendy.
"I guess I really delayed for too long?" Standing at the edge of the forest, Marco couldn't help but sigh.
On the way he had encountered two more magic horn lizards.
Out of a sense of duty to complete the contract, he had to finished the mission, which delayed him a bit.
But it hadn't actually taken that long and it couldn't be blad for this.
Faced with this situation, Marco didn't imdiately choose to give up.
He decided to search a bit further outside, thinking he might run into them.
He couldn't believe Jellal and Wendy's pace was that fast!
