Gildarts' recovery is undoubtedly tremendous good news for the entire Fairy Tail franchise.
First and foremost, the return of an incredibly powerful force has lessened the impact of Mystogan and Laxus's departures, especially since Uncle Gildarts is always busy.
Secondly, Gildarts, who has always been known as the "strongest mage in Fairy Tail," is also a very good sign by acknowledging Moen as the "successor to the guild master," which makes everyone more confident in the future of Fairy Tail.
The Fairy Tail guild is really thriving right now!
As for the happiest person these past few days, it has to be Lucy.
Not only did she obtain the key to the most powerful Zodiac Zodiac "Leo Celestial Spirit," but in the following days of missions, she also coincidentally acquired the key to the "Virgo Celestial Spirit."
Even Moen couldn't help but marvel that Lucy unlocked the "Zodiac Celestial Spirits" faster than he unlocked the "Zodiac Gold Cloths"!
There were only twelve of them in total. These twelve "golden keys," which were originally scattered all over the world and were extremely difficult to collect, were now appearing one after another around Lucy.
Logically speaking, Lucy's set should be harder to collect, since Moen's set only requires triggering a quest and solving some problems to potentially unlock the powerful [Golden Cloth].
To take it to an extreme, he only needs to check in and complete tasks every day to accumulate contribution points. He can collect one Gold Cloth every three years, and at most thirty-six years, he can collect them all.
For Lucy, finding the golden key is like finding a needle in a haystack; if she's unlucky, she might never find it in her entire life.
"The Duke of Obelisk's house is really outrageous. He is incredibly rich. Leo and I were completely stunned."
Lucy sighed, and the fact that even a young lady like her could be impressed speaks volumes about the extravagance of the Duke of Obelisk's household. Lucy's words proved this point.
"You'd never guess, even the front door of his house is made of gold!"
Lucy's words, just the beginning, have already shocked everyone. A door made of gold is indeed quite extravagant. Aren't they afraid that someone will come knocking on their door every day? Besides, gold isn't very sturdy; it's just for showing off wealth.
"That's not all. His estate has all kinds of rare plants, and the decorations in his villa are even more extravagant. The walls are gold, there is a huge gold statue of him in the hall, and even the toilet is made of gold. Well, even the toilet seat is engraved with his head. There is also a storage room with a wealth of collections and a study with huge wraparound bookshelves."
Lucy described the scene bit by bit, painting a picture of an infinitely luxurious manor. It wasn't dreamy at all; instead, it had a humorous quality to it all. Everyone had a guess about what kind of person the Duke of Obero would be.
"Isn't it a bit too perverted to have your own golden portrait engraved on the toilet? Isn't that making people face you?"
""
Some people couldn't help but complain that if decorating everywhere with gold, such as displaying one's own gold statue in the living room, is understandable, as it is a style of decoration, but to have one's own gold head engraved on the toilet is a bit morbid. This is definitely not something an ordinary person would do.
"That guy is sick, narcissistic to the point of madness. He's clearly ugly, but he thinks he's a handsome man, a great person. He even imprisoned the mage writer Shiguya Melen to force him to write his autobiography."
""
Lucy continued to complain, clearly the mission had left a deep impression on her, giving her a strong urge to confide in others.
This is actually quite normal. Anyone who encountered someone like Duke Obey would definitely want to share their thoughts with their friends.
"That guy has incredibly bizarre taste; he's got beauty and ugliness completely reversed. He hired a bunch of oddly shaped people as maids, and he thought they were all stunning beauties. You really can't imagine what that was like..."

As Lucy spoke, she began to feel nauseous. Leo, who had been smiling and drinking his fruit drink, changed his expression, clearly thinking of those disgusting images as well.
Lucy went on this mission by herself. With the five Zodiac Keys she had, including the trump card "Leo Celestial Spirit" Leo, she was already very powerful even as an ordinary Celestial Spirit Mage.
Not to mention, Lucy is also a user of "New Celestial Magic". When Duke Oberl was preparing to capture the enemy first and attack her, a Celestial Mage, she put on her battle suit and unleashed a "Diamond Star Fist", freezing Duke Oberl into an ice sculpture and catching him completely off guard.
Lucy deliberately created an opening; she intentionally lured Duke Obelisk into her trap. Duke Obelisk was skilled at tunneling, and without creating an opening, Lucy would have had a difficult time defeating him.
"So what happened to the Duke of Obelisk in the end?"
Lucy's narration captivated everyone. Lucy, who had been diligently writing down her experiences in "Fairy Tail," has indeed become increasingly skilled at storytelling, and her "Duke Obelisk Arc" was particularly engaging.
"They've been captured by the Magic Council."
Lucy revealed Duke Obelisk's ultimate fate, which was quite satisfying. Obelisk was a duke and also a powerful mage, holding a very high position. He could deprive others of their citizenship rights, preventing them from joining a guild, and he had a private prison at home where he could forcibly detain others.
Unfortunately, no matter how much power he had, once he was targeted by Fairy Tail, his death was imminent, especially within the Kingdom of Fiore, where his power meant nothing.
What's more, it was Lucy who went to deal with him.
Princess of the Kingdom of Fiore, heir to the throne, Lucy's senior, the richest man in the Kingdom of Fiore, the most powerful railway tycoon, Lucy's father, a famous star throughout the continent of Ishgar, an incredibly powerful mage, the next guild master of the Kingdom of Fiore's number one mage guild "Fairy Tail", and Lucy's master.
In terms of money, power, and strength, Lucy completely outclasses Duke Obey, so she can easily take him down.
Of course, the most crucial point is that the Duke of Obey was not exactly clean to begin with.
This guy's crimes weren't just about imprisoning writers to write books for him; his enormous wealth was ill-gotten, so it naturally couldn't withstand scrutiny. When Lucy reported him, the Magic Council came and arrested him immediately, imprisoning him and confiscating all his property.
"A happy ending!"
"marvelous!"
Everyone was very satisfied with the Duke of Obey's fate, and they clapped and cheered. This kind of thing, which is to uphold justice for the wronged and bring the bad guys to justice, is what everyone likes to do most.
Lucy's mission was simply to destroy the "autobiography" and cleanse the writer of his life's stain. The client never even thought he could bring down the evil forces of Duke Obelisk. Lucy can be considered to have exceeded expectations.
"I hope this chapter will be one of the most outstanding chapters in my novel!"
Lucy was greatly encouraged by everyone's reaction, and she immediately went back to write. Taking advantage of her excitement, she finished the "Sunrise Chapter". "Sunrise" was the book she was going to destroy. She felt that "Sunrise Chapter" was a better name than "Duke of Obeyru Chapter".
"This girl is really dedicated to her novel."
Moen commented with a smile that Lucy seemed to want to become a real bestselling author rather than a powerful mage.
"That's great, it's a wonderful hobby."
Mirajane squinted her eyes and smiled happily. She was also engrossed in Lucy's story. This girl was quite talented.
"Indeed, our Fairy Tail is full of talented people, with many blossoming in the arts. Some are good at writing, some are good at singing, some are good at calligraphy, and some are good at drawing."
Moen smiled and nodded. It was indeed a good thing to have both arts and sports flourishing. Having talent alone was not enough; the promotion of arts and culture also needed to be handled carefully.
"But is it just my imagination? It seems like things have suddenly calmed down lately."
Mirajane tilted her head. Lately, in this "turbulent" year of X784, things had indeed been a little too calm, so calm that it even made her feel a little uneasy.
"I'm afraid they've been holding back a lot of bad news."
Moen's lips twitched. He didn't believe this peace could last long. In X784, many things were likely to happen. He should cherish this moment when he could have some peace.
As Moen had predicted, their peaceful life was soon disrupted.
And sure enough, a big one came: the news was delivered by someone from the Magic Council, which made Moen burst into a tirade of curses.
"What do you mean Gerald was kidnapped?!"
Moen opened his mouth, looking at the old man Makarov, whose face was equally grim.
"It was the Oración Seis that did it, one of the three leaders of the Balam Alliance. Sure enough, the information we received back then was correct. Brian, the leader of the Oración Seis, really is connected to Geralt and the Tower of Paradise. Now he has finally made his move."
Makarov, with a grim face, revealed the enemy they were facing. This enemy was no ordinary person; it was one of the three giants of the Dark Guild.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
When Moen heard that it was "Oracles of Seismi," he was not surprised. After learning that Gerald was related to Brian, the leader of "Oracles of Seismi," he knew that he would definitely have to face "Oracles of Seismi" in the future, and even the other two of the three leaders.
"I warned them, they're a bunch of useless trash."
Even though he knew it was the "Oración Seis", it didn't stop Moen from calling the "Magic Council" a bunch of useless guys.
They provided the information about "Oración Seis" to the "Magic Council" and even suggested transferring him to "Magnoria" so that "Fairy Tail" could suppress him.
The members of the Magic Council firmly opposed this, believing they were capable and didn't need Fairy Tail.
They don't need Fairy Tail to take away their power.
Since that was the case, Moen and Makarov didn't say much. They chose to respect the authority of the newly reorganized "Magic Council." However, it turned out that authority wasn't maintained by others, but by one's own strength.
Now that the Oración Seis has kidnapped Jellal, the Magic Council is getting a real slap in the face. What kind of Magic Council is this? They can't even keep an eye on a prisoner!
"Forget it, they've only been reorganized for a short time, blaming them won't help. Let's solve the problem. We can't shirk our responsibility to form an alliance to defeat the Oración Seis."
Makarov sighed. There was no other way now; everyone had to work together to resolve the matter.
Most importantly, the incident occurred within the Kingdom of Fiore, and the "Oracion Seis" has not left the Kingdom of Fiore and remains here. These mage guilds certainly cannot remain uninvolved and cannot stand idly by while the "Oracion Seis" stirs up trouble.
"I'll take some men with me."
Moen nodded and didn't say anything more. No matter how unhappy he was, things still had to be done. He couldn't just watch the "Six Seals" roam freely in the Kingdom of Fiore.
Jellal was captured by Fairy Tail, and the Tower of Paradise was destroyed by them. Now that Oración Seis dares to come to rescue Jellal, they are declaring war on Fairy Tail. They have to take action and retaliate.
"Go ahead. Although the Oración Seis is one of the three giants, they haven't been famous for very long. Our Fiore Kingdom's mage guilds have formed an alliance, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them."
Makarov was quite confident about this. Although the "Oración Seis" had made a preemptive strike, this one of the three leaders of the "Baram Alliance" was indeed quite audacious to dare to cause trouble in their Fiore Kingdom. Did they really not take "Fairy Tail" seriously? They even dared to provoke them first.
Moen thought so too; this "Oracles" was really underestimating them, and he didn't know where he got the guts.
The news of the alliance's formation caused an uproar within Fairy Tail. After all, it was the Oración Seis, one of the three giants of the Balam Alliance! Who would want to miss out on something like this?!
Those companions who missed the trip to Edolas last time were especially enthusiastic this time, signing up in droves.
"This time it's no joke."
Moen certainly wouldn't just pick anyone; he couldn't say whoever wanted to go could go. Although he felt that taking down the "Six Seals" was a sure thing, that didn't mean there was no danger involved.
The main issue is that Moen still doesn't understand what the "Six Seals" are up to. They can't just be here to save Jellal, can they? This is probably just a side effect; they must have their own purpose in coming to the Kingdom of Fiore.
