"You didn't catch it?"
When Laxus' words reached the ears of Noah, Mila, Lisana, and Elisa, the atmosphere of the scene completely changed.
Especially Elisa even took a step forward and questioned Laxus who was lying on the ground because of the exhaustion of her magical power.
"It's all reached this point, are you still going to hide it?"
"Don't you think that if I let the "Thunder Gods" find the sisters, you think everyone else in the guild disappeared because of me?" Laxus seemed to get rid of the depressed mentality just now. , With the arrogant attitude as always, but without the tone of tit-for-tat, he said such a sentence weakly.
"I found the sisters just to have a break with Noah. If I don't do this, the old man, this guy probably never takes me seriously, it's just that, nothing else."
Saying such a sentence, Laxus glanced at Elisa.
"I'll say it again, I didn't catch those people!"
Hearing this, Noah and his party immediately looked at each other, and they were at a loss for a moment.
After learning that Laksas asked the "Thunder Gods" to take Mila and Lisana away, everyone, including Noah, felt that the companions in the guild that had disappeared in the past two days were also Laksar. Si's hand.
After all, Laxus has always shown a certain degree of disgust for those companions in the guild whose strength can't get into his eyes, and sometimes even blatantly stated that they would disappear.
If it is not based on this attitude, why did Noah suspect that this matter had anything to do with Laxus
Because of this, and in addition to the fact that Laxus asked the "Thunder God" to take both Mira and Lisana away, everyone thought that Laxus was given by Noah because he coveted the throne of the president. Taking it away gave rise to the idea of usurping the throne, and unscrupulously took all the people in the guild away.
Otherwise, Makarov would not be so angry.
However, now, Laxus said that he did not take action against the missing companions in the guild, which was no surprise that everyone was stunned.
Elisa seemed to want to say something, but she was stopped by Noah.
"Since Laxus has said that he did not do it, it must not be him." Noah asserted.
"Although it is somewhat extreme, this man is not the kind of guy who will not admit what he has done, Elisa, you should understand it too."
Elisa suddenly became speechless.
really.
With Laxus’s character, if he really does something, then he will either directly admit it or ignore other people’s questions, and if a certain answer is given, there is absolutely nothing wrong. Up.
Therefore, if Laxus really took away the comrades in the guild, then, with his character, he would directly admit it even when faced with Elisa's questioning.
And if Laxus doesn't want to admit it, then he won't choose to lie, most likely he will give a simulated answer, such as "who knows".
"But..." Lisana, who was still in Noah's arms, increased her strength to hug Noah's waist a little uneasy.
"If it weren't for Laxus, who would have captured everyone in the guild?"
This is exactly what everyone wants to know.
Noah, who was holding Lisana, patted Lisana on the back, trying to eliminate the anxiety in her heart, while recalling one thing.
The traces of extremely strange and dark magic remaining in Lucy's room.
If you think about it carefully, at that time, Noah was also aware of this magical power to deny the possibility that Laxus was the criminal who captured Lucy.
Later, because Mira and Lisana were taken away, everyone in the guild thought it was Laxus. Noah also ignored this incident because his two fiancées were taken away.
Thinking about it now, there are indeed contradictions in this matter.
"No matter what, let's go back to the guild first." Mira said as if trying to dispel the heavy feeling in the air.
"This matter has to be told to the president first."
Everyone reacted and nodded.
However, at this moment, a weak voice rang from not far away.
"Pull...K...Sass..."
With such a weak and feeble voice, and even with the slightest painful voice, a figure stumbled and walked hard from not far away, and after a while, it weakened and fell directly to the ground.
Laxus, who was also lying on the ground, narrowed his eyes.
"Fried?!"
"Fried?!" Milla, Lisana, and Elisa were also shocked. Even Noah frowned, his expression sinking little by little.
It's just that Fried, who fell to the ground, was wounded all over, and he looked quite serious.
"Elisa!" Laxus cast an angry look at Elisa.
Of course.
In order to rescue Mira and Lisana, Elisa publicly admitted that she defeated all three of the "Thunder Gods".
So, it is not surprising that Laxus suspected that Fried was injured so badly because of Elisa.
However, Elisa herself was quite shocked.
"No, I just stunned them, I didn't have such a heavy hand at all!"
With that said, there was an annoyed look on Elsa's face.
It seems that even if it wasn't Elisa's hand, with Elisa's upright personality, he probably blamed him for being responsible for such a serious injury, right
At the moment, Noah and his party immediately moved in Fried's direction, and even Laxus, who was lying on the ground because his magic power was exhausted, struggled to get up and came to Fried's side.
"Fried!"
"Luck... Sass..." Fried, who was lifted up by Laxus laboriously, had a painful expression on his face. He couldn't even speak clearly. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
"Fried!" Laxus said angrily.
"What the hell is going on?! Didn't you get knocked down by Elisa?!"
"After that...someone...attacked us..." Fried said with great difficulty.
"Pixos... Alba... were all taken away... to cover my escape..."
"Someone attacked you?!" Laxus was full of anger.
"It's those guys, right?" Elisa clenched her fists, and said angrily.
"It's the guy who took away all the comrades in the guild!"
"Not only to the guild companions, but even the "Thunder Gods" were attacked?" Mila and Lisana became a little surprised.
Noah knelt down, looked at Fried's dirty face, and said.
"Do you know who the attacker is?"
"No...clear..." Fried trembling hands, took out a wooden doll with a totem-like head.
"You...be careful..."
After speaking, Fried was as if he had completed the task, his head tilted and he passed out.
Upon seeing this, Mira, Lisana, Elisa, Laxus and others were shocked.
"It doesn't matter, it's just fainted." Noah keenly sensed that Fried was still breathing, and after checking it, he came to this conclusion and picked up the puppet in Fried's hand.
"What's this?"
"That's a doll used by Picothro's magic to manipulate." Laxas looked ugly.
"Pixo's magic can manipulate the soul, and there should be a possessed soul in it."
"That means..." Lisana said uncertainly.
"Just let it lead the way, maybe we can find Picasso?"
"If you use it properly, you might be able to find the nest of those attackers!" Noah clasped the wooden doll tightly, stood up, and glanced around at everyone around him.
"You take Laxus and Fried back to the guild for treatment first, and report this to Grandpa!"
"Do you want to go there alone?" Mira said worriedly.
"It's too dangerous to be alone."
"I'll go with you!" Elisa stepped up even more involuntarily.
"No!" Noah shook his head without hesitation.
"The guild may continue to be attacked. Although there is a grandfather, Laxus can't fight now, and Mistgang is not there. There is no S-rank wizard guarding the guild. How can it be done?"
Seeing that there seemed to be worry on the faces of the girls, Noah could only speak out to persuade him.
"I have Beo, even if something really happens, I can escape, you follow, I will not be able to act then."
The group couldn't find a reason to refute, so they could only reluctantly agree.
