Chapter 309 I Still Love You Deeply
After awarding Fairy Tail the Medal of Honor, Crawford didn't pause for a moment, immediately moving on to the next step while tapping his small wooden hammer: recognizing Sabertooth's outstanding performance in this battle.
Although they were passively drawn into the battle, as a guild that had only recently been reorganized, Sabertooth managed to ensure the town's safety.
The fact that he was able to capture Bruno, the vice president of the Devil's Heart, and Melty, one of the seven familiars, is a commendable achievement.
As for the Gray Squad and Gildarts and his daughter who came to the rescue later, Crawford, who didn't want to give Fairy Tail too much screen time, only mentioned them briefly and didn't go into details.
The discussion surrounding the heart of the devil has now concluded.
Next came the second half of this special meeting—a discussion of intelligence regarding the Gates of Hell.
As the two most important trio in the Balam Alliance, now that Oración Seis and the Heart of the Devil have been destroyed, their remaining forces are no longer a threat. Naturally, the Council's attention has turned to the most mysterious Tartaros.
Whether it's to consolidate their own power and status, or truly as Crawford said, to "purge the darkness and restore peace to the wizarding world," the remaining Tartarus must be punished.
In addition, there are dark guilds like Raven's Tail, which are independent of the Balam Alliance.
This is their weakest period. If they can be eliminated together, everyone will be able to rest easy!
Unfortunately, the guild leaders present knew absolutely nothing about the Gates of the Underworld, and after discussing it for a long time, they couldn't provide any information whatsoever.
The only useful intelligence came from Urutia himself.
That is, all members of the Gates of Hell are demons, and they have a headquarters that can move at high speeds through the air.
Chess remained silent throughout the entire process.
It wasn't that he deliberately kept quiet; besides needing a lot of trouble to explain, the more important reason was that the council and the guilds present had very limited power.
If they really go head-to-head with the Gates of Hell, these weaklings are simply easy prey; there's no other outcome!
Moreover, he currently does not know the exact location of the Gates of the Underworld.
Perhaps after the S-class mage assessment is over, we should think of a way to force Tartaros to show itself, since this dangerous guild does pose a certain threat to Fairy Tail.
Putting aside other demons for now, at least Hades Maldo should be a good target for card acquisition.
"Meeting adjourned!"
The tedious meeting, which was destined to yield no results, finally came to an end as the sun set.
After a few symbolic chats with acquaintances, the guild leaders left one after another, returning to their own guilds with many feelings.
Whether it's Fairy Tail's unimaginable power, the rise of the newcomer Sabertooth, or the lurking dark forces,
The information they received today is enough to keep them digesting for a while.
After saying goodbye to Bob and the others, Chess, Makarov, and Uru, led by two council envoys, found Urudia back in her office.
They were supposed to lead the way, but the two envoys stood at the door like statues, showing no intention of leaving.
Until Ultear is cleared of suspicion, the Council will certainly not allow her to leave their sight. She will be in a semi-custodial state for a long time to come and will not be able to leave headquarters at will.
Makarov had guessed Urutia's current predicament, but since this was an internal matter of the council, he couldn't directly support Urutia considering the potential negative impact.
The only way to show their stance is by bringing Chase here specifically.
Although his reputation and conduct are controversial, Old Ma's sense of justice and responsibility as a senior figure in the magical world is beyond doubt.
Even the members of the council who have always disliked Fairy Tail couldn't find any reason to refute this!
In addition to this, Makarov also has a very important identity: one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
The reason why the Council of Mages has been able to stand firm and manage numerous mage guilds is certainly not because of some well-equipped elite troops.
Besides powerful weapons like magical spirit power and Fiss, which can only be used under specific conditions, the Ten Wizard Saints, who are beyond the realm of humanity, also played a crucial role.
Therefore, Makarov's attitude can, to some extent, reduce the difficulty for Urutia to return to the council.
Giving young people who have strayed from the right path the opportunity to embark on the path of enlightenment is a principle he has always adhered to.
"Ultear-chan, I missed Mommy so much~"
As a mother, Uru didn't think about so many things. As soon as she entered the door, she pounced on Urutia and hugged her tightly.
After learning of Ultear's predicament from Gray, she became very worried, and even after confirming her safety, she still couldn't control her longing for her.
I endured the entire meeting.
Now that they had the opportunity to spend time together privately, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted completely.
Seeing this scene gave Chase a strange sense of déjà vu.
That's right, it's exactly the same as Gildarts' reaction when he saw Cana, even the tone of his voice!
No wonder Mira is a fan of Gildarts and Uru; just considering their deep-seated obsession with their daughters, these two are a perfect match!
"I'm sorry, Mom—."
Feeling the warmth of the embrace, Urudia seemed somewhat at a loss, her beautiful eyes dimming and flashing with a complex expression.
She desperately wanted to confess to Uru the sins she had committed over the years, but the council envoy at the door was still watching, and the words stuck in her throat.
Despite her reluctance, she still used all her strength to raise her hand and try to push Uru away.
I don't deserve "a mother's warmth" at all.
"I know, Urutia, I know everything."
Uru hugged Ultear tighter, then leaned forward slightly, pressing his forehead against Ultear's, and whispered, "Even so, I still love you deeply."
A simple, unadorned sentence conveyed boundless love, instantly shattering the false strength that Ultear had so painstakingly erected.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, sliding down her fair, flawless cheeks and blurring her vision.
"Cough cough."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Makarov quickly coughed twice. "Urutia, aren't you going to make us a couple of cups of tea to entertain those of us who came all this way?"
He didn't mean to interrupt this touching scene of mother and daughter's affection, but the council envoy was still watching from behind!
"Oh? I'm sorry, I was rude."
Reminded, Ultear was the first to regain her composure, forcibly suppressing her emotions and regaining some of her usual poise. "This way, please."
Mr. Makarov, Mr. Chess.
She released Uru's embrace and walked towards the coffee table opposite the desk.
As the hot water boiled and the aroma of tea filled the air, the four people who had taken their seats began to chat, mainly about the Devil's Heart and this special meeting.
During the conversation, Chase deliberately mentioned that Speaker Crawford was a very good person. Ultear naturally understood his true meaning and secretly made a mental note of it.
