Chapter 132

Aidan sat next to Ikaruga and watched the Moondrop ritual incessantly. It seemed that this moment dragged on for an eternity. Purple reflections of magic shone in his cold eyes, but he did not seem to notice it ...

Ikaruga carelessly clung to the boy's shoulder and closed her eyes. She clearly did not care about this ritual. Usually she would not miss out on such beauty, but this time she was a little tired and just wanted to relax. Aidan did not wake her up, continuing to look at the beautiful purple lights touching the lacrima and frowning thoughtfully. Everything happened according to one of the possible scenarios Mavis and this scenario he really did not like.

The girl's gentle voice flashed through his head again:

"From what you told me ... Pyramid, a build-up spell ... If you use the Heavenly Queen's spell, at best, you have to return in three years and thirty-four days, but that's only if they will be less careful about the effect of dispersion. It will be a big miscalculation on their part, so don't count on it. There is a problem in the form of an accumulation of crystallized fumes, so they can stretch the process and affect the ritual. In the end ... Hmm, you should look at the way the moonlight touches the ice. If it falls to one point, you will have to maintain the spell after a year, and then again after the same period. Due to the precise effect of the spell, this is a natural effect. Simply put, you have to go back about three times and support the spell of the Heavenly Queen. The Moondrop also affects him, which is a huge problem. If the spell has a wider radius, there is nothing to be done, you will have to maintain it almost monthly. Although, here you are lucky, because most likely they will be able to print the ice in just a year. In the best case - the first option, come almost at the very end, when the dissipation energy reaches the seal, but this is the most ideal option, in which those conducting the ritual will get rid of vapors and the light will not be dulled "

Thinking about it again, Aidan sighed.

"She already knew the answer ... Yes, and I knew what to hide ... I'll have to return in a year."

The wizard was a little distracted and looked at the quietly snoring Ikaruga, at her beautiful face. Sleepy she looked too innocent, except, perhaps, her huge chest, which was just planning to fall out of these open clothes ... However, Aidan was now thinking about something completely different.

He frowned and gritted his teeth.

"Nonsense ... If I rely on her in this matter, I will be a complete idiot. We need to come up with another method. Coming in a year from now is not a problem, but if I plan on leaving for Onslow and those ruins, it's worth playing it safe. If I get stuck there for a hundred years or even die, someone has to take care of Ur ... No, I definitely can't stay there that long. It is worth sending him a letter ... "- touching the pocket of his shirt, Aidan pulled out a small bag. At the same moment, a white light flashed, and a small letter and a pen appeared in his palm. Pulling the parchment out of the envelope, the guy directed the magic into the feather, and it began to transfer words to paper with amazing speed.

Only Makarov can intervene in this matter and do everything as it should be. Aidan didn't want to risk it, so he decided to play it safe, in case of emergency. If suddenly he does not arrive at Galuna in a year, he wanted someone from the guild to come and temporarily replace him.

"I left the approximate instructions for the spell, warned about Ikaruga ... I think this grumpy old man will not let you down. Last time I acted like a fool, I don't understand why ... I should apologize "- folding the envelope, Aidan quickly signed the date and time, and then the letter just fluttered out of his hands and literally disappeared into thin air.

"Ha ... Well, in any case, I have to return to the guild in a month or two, this letter will no longer matter," closing his eyes for a moment, Aidan continued to feel the cold purple light of the Moondrop on his skin.

Finally, he whispered:

- Ikaruga.

- Mm? - the girl's lips twitched slightly and she purred: - What is the owner ...?

- I know you are awake. - the guy smiled a little: - Do you like pretending so much?

The sorceress slowly raised her head and puffed out her cheeks in displeasure:

"I wasn't pretending. You didn't ask if I was sleeping ...

- Well, here you are right ...

After a moment of silence, Aidan looked at Ikaruga seriously. He still decided to do it ...

"Okay, I'll teach you a sustaining spell. It is necessary in order to restore the former power of the spell of the Heavenly Queen. Exactly on this day - in a year, if I do not appear, then you will have to apply it in the exact sequence. I'll show you everything ... Hmm, if you can handle everything, consider that you have received my complete trust.

- Really? - the girl's eyes immediately sparkled: - I will do everything, my master!

`` I hope ... '' Aidan pursed his lips and looked again at the huge block of ice nearby.

"If everything goes wrong, I will still achieve my goal, even if I have to dry up all the seas. I hope you chose the right side, because I do not want to become that person at all.

The air froze again, but the sorceress was not afraid, she just smiled confidently and nodded:

- Everything will be fine, my master!

- Yes ... I will believe. If I could stay, things would be easier. - Standing up, Aidan shook his hair and turned:

- Come on, I'll teach you the spell and leave. For three whole years you will have to support it, otherwise the Moondrop will do its job and scatter it. Of course, I'll be back in a year, all this is just a safety net. In three years I will definitely show up, be sure. If not ... Well, then follow Fairy Tail and have them take the Lacrima out of the ground as soon as all the ice is gone. Then it will be safe and will not seal anyone else. They will find a use for it ...

After sighing softly, Aidan no longer turned around. With a quick step, he began to leave the dungeon. Only Ikaruga hesitated a little, looked at the huge block of ice and suddenly said:

- Aidan ...

The wizard stopped abruptly:

"Did she call me by name?" - he was very surprised, but did not interrupt, Ikaruga continued:

- I ... I want to know if suddenly ... in the worst case ... Me, what should I do?

- At worst? Don't you think it's unnecessary to worry about that? I'll be back and ...

- I ... I have a bad feeling ...

Aidan lowered his head and sighed.

- I understand, I have too ... That makes me so worried. If you want to know, then ... Yes, in the worst case, you just need to meet Makarov from Fairy Tail, of course, as soon as Lacrima is done. Then I think he will tell you everything.

- And you?

- I? Aidan chuckled and shook his head. "Habit ... I don't like to talk about anything." I don't know why you need this, but my problems are still on my neck. Let's go already, I'll leave in the morning, the spell is simple, you can master ...

On that day, the bright purple light of the Moondrop touched the sealed Ice until morning. At this time, Ikaruga was learning a new spell, and Aidan, with his usual gloomy mood, prepared to leave.

Very soon he left Galuna and went to the distant lands of Fiore, to the very County of Onslow, to the deep ancient ruins.
