Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 114 Judhardphilia's Ambition

Chapter 115 Jud Heartfilia's Ambition (Please Subscribe!)

Lucy was holding a book with the iconic silhouette of a man wearing a hat and smoking a pipe on the cover.

The title "Sherlock Holmes" is very eye-catching, and the author's name, Moen Dole, is clearly written in the author's column.

"Miss, would you like to go take a look?"

The coachman asked, clearly aware that his young mistress was currently enjoying the book "Sherlock Holmes" and was also interested in this Moen Doraeus, as the young author was said to be a very talented Celestial Spirit Mage.

"No, it's too crowded."

Lucy shook her head. She didn't want to trouble others. There were so many people crowding around that it would be difficult for Uncle Deller to squeeze in.

"It's okay, I won't."

"There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Lucy, dressed in a dress, sat upright in the carriage like a princess, stopping the driver from trying to make a move with a single sentence.

The coachman stopped talking and continued driving the carriage toward the Heartfilia Consortium.

Meanwhile, the coachman thought to himself, "Miss Lucy is truly considerate of others; she's a very understanding girl, it's a pity..."

Since Mrs. Leila's passing, Mr. Jiude has been returning home less and less often, and Miss Lucy's smiles have become fewer and fewer.

Mrs. Leila's sudden death from an illness is destroying this once happy family, and everything is changing as a result.

The carriage slowly drove away. Moen had finally managed to break free from the crowd. It was thanks to him being a mage and his consistent physical training that he was able to escape on his own. Otherwise, surrounded like this, he would have had no chance of getting out on his own.

"I'll have to be more careful in the future."

After finally managing to escape, Moen reminded himself that he needed to be careful for the time being and wait until the hype died down before he could act so casually. Now that he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he was naturally the center of attention wherever he went and would cause a sensation.

Walking along the deserted path, Moen summoned two large crows, stepped on them, and flew towards the Heartfilia Consortium.

There's no need to look for it at all; you can spot the prominent merchant guild from the sky. Just like Fairy Tail in Magnolia, you can see Fairy Tail's headquarters from the mountains outside the city. It's a symbol of the city.

The two crows disappeared, and Moen landed on the ground. He had landed in front of the headquarters of the Heartfilia Corporation, which naturally caused another commotion, but the guards at the gate acted as security personnel, automatically preventing the crowd from gathering.

"Hello, I am Moen Dole, here to visit Mr. Judd."

When facing the security captain, Moen politely introduced himself and his purpose.

The security captain naturally recognized Moen. He didn't ask any silly questions like whether he had an appointment or not, and simply invited Moen inside. Then he quickly sent someone to inform Mr. Jiude.

Moen hadn't been sitting in the reception room for long when Jude, a blond man, rushed over. This self-made railroad tycoon was all smiles when he faced Moen.

"Mr. Moen, it's a pleasure to meet you! I am Jude, and your presence truly honors the Heartfilia Foundation!"

Jiude doesn't look old; he's in his prime. This man is very capable. In ten years, he built a great business from scratch, mainly operating railways and making significant contributions to the popularization of railways in the Kingdom of Fiore.

The Heartfilia family's land, including their courtyards, reportedly occupies several mountains. The women in their household are required to wear Western-style dresses, and they employ numerous maids and servants, as well as dedicated magic teachers. It is said that even the great noble families cannot compare to them. It is truly remarkable that they have achieved this level of status in just ten years.

"Mr. Jiude, you are too kind. I am already relieved that you do not blame me for disturbing you."

Since Jiude was being so kind, and Moen had come to ask for help, he naturally didn't put on airs and exchanged a few polite greetings and compliments. This surprised Jiude, who clearly hadn't expected Moen to be so humble at such a young age.

It's quite normal for someone like Moen, a true prodigy, a peerless genius who appears out of nowhere, and a multi-talented individual, to be labeled and stereotyped as "arrogant," "overbearing," or "conceited."

After all, if you put yourself in Moen's shoes, you would be incredibly proud if you achieved what Moen did at that age.

Moen's quick thinking and lack of youthful arrogance surprised Jiude, making him look at Moen with new respect and pay more attention to this "Rose Star God" who had suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Moen, is there something you need from me?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries and brewing a cup of tea, Jiude took the initiative to speak. He naturally knew that Moen wouldn't come to visit him for no reason. They didn't know each other before and had no connection whatsoever, so Moen must have come for a reason.

"I came for Master Vltava; I heard he was invited to come here."

Moen took a sip of tea and began to explain the purpose of his visit. Compared to coffee or anything like that, he clearly preferred tea.

"Maestro Vltava? He is indeed here with me. Did you want to hear a concert by the maestro? Well, you're too late. The concert has already ended; it just ended yesterday."

Jude looked surprised. He hadn’t expected that Moen had come for this reason. Master Voltava was not the kind of person a child Moen’s age would like. This Moen was indeed different. No wonder he was able to suddenly appear and make such a name for himself.

Unbeknownst to him, Jude was becoming increasingly satisfied with Moen and had a higher opinion of him. Moen's composure was indeed to his liking, which made some of his ideas more mature, and his gaze toward Moen became more enthusiastic.

"It's over, that's good. I didn't come here to listen to the concert. I came here to learn from the master and also to invite him to give another concert in Magnolia."

Moen smiled and said, "Now that the master has finished his business here, it's time to go back to Magnolia with him."

This master seems to really enjoy making money, or perhaps he simply enjoys spreading his art. In any case, it shouldn't be difficult to invite him to Magnolia.

"To become an apprentice and learn a skill."

Jiude's eyes widened; this was an unexpected turn of events.

"Is there a problem?"

Moen asked curiously, "But it's just that your hobbies are a bit niche."

"No problem, I'll have someone call Master Vltava over right away. I'm sure he'll be very interested in this."

Jude quickly realized what was going on. He smiled and ordered someone to find Master Voltava. No matter what Moen wanted to do, he just needed to cooperate. He hoped that Moen would cooperate with him later.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiude."

Moen thanked Jude, but he was also a little curious about what this guy was planning to do by being so friendly to him.

Could it be that they want him to be their spokesperson? But isn't the Heartfilia Foundation in the railroad business? What use would a company like that have him as its spokesperson? And this kind of industry doesn't really need a spokesperson, does it?

"Mr. Mohn, what are your thoughts on the railways?"

While waiting for Master Voltava to arrive, Jude finally revealed his purpose, asking directly.

"Of course it's a great thing, it greatly facilitates everyone's travel. It would be even better if it could be faster and the coverage area could be wider."

Moen answered frankly that this was his true thought. At present, the railway network in the Kingdom of Fiore is not very extensive. Only the railway network in the northeast is relatively dense, and the speed of the trains still has a lot of room for improvement.

"That's right, I also want trains to be faster, but that will require a long period of research. Right now, the most important thing is to lay railways in more places. Once everyone enjoys the convenience of railways, it will naturally drive the upgrading of the entire industry."

Jude agreed with Moen and also spoke of his goal: to lay railways to all the cities in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"so?"

Moen blinked. What did this have to do with him? He didn't know anything about railway construction, so what was the point of Jude telling him this?

"We have actually been working to expand our railway business into southern cities, but we have encountered a lot of resistance and malicious competition. The local nobles and conglomerates are not easy to deal with."

Jiude continued speaking, while Moen's expression remained puzzled. He had never been in contact with nobles or conglomerates and didn't know much about them. Why was he being told these things?

"Fairy Tail has considerable influence in the south. My idea is that the Heartfilia Foundation could establish a cooperative relationship with Fairy Tail and use Fairy Tail's influence to open up the South for the Heartfilia Foundation, so that they can lay railways for the southern cities as soon as possible."

Finally, Judo revealed his true intentions: he wanted to cooperate with Fairy Tail and use Fairy Tail's influence to open up markets for the Heartfilia Foundation.

"."

Moen's expression was strange. Fairy Tail was indeed more influential in the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Fiore, and had a greater influence on the southern cities, but they had never been involved in such matters and had always honestly accepted commissions and carried out missions.
