Chapter 186: Magic is the Power of the Mind
"Are you the one who is good at the True Celestial Body Magic, the one who claimed to use meteorites, Evan Belserion?"
When Layla heard Evan's words, she was shocked. She did not expect that the Ten Wizards Saint who was known as "Collapsing Star" was actually a youth who looked extremely young and looked much younger than their daughter.
"Hehe, all my deeds are just rumors. In fact, I am still very easy-going..."
"Moreover, no one in this world would smash people with meteorites for no reason."
Evan looked at the surprised look on Layla's face and explained with a bitter smile.
"Er, sorry for the lack of manners. The difference between the rumors and reality is too great."
Layla laughed after hearing Evan's words. She looked at Evan up and down. Compared to the image of Ten Wizards Saint that she imagined in her mind, she found that they were two people. There was nothing different except their names.
"So, some of the news in the weekly newspapers are unbelievable. It is better to see."
Evan said helplessly after listening to Layla's words.
"What..."
Jude looked at Evan and Layla who were talking and laughing beside him, inexplicably feeling out of place.
"Hehe, Jude, because you don't care about the Magic World, you don't know, right? Evan is a super famous mage in the Magic World..."
After hearing what Jude said, Layla smiled gently and pointed at Evan with the small fan in her hand.
However, Layla did not say a word. That was... although Evan's reputation was full of bad names.
Flattening mountain range, demon slaying, smashing people with meteorites. No matter what kind of deeds it is, it is enough to make ordinary people shocked...
"Hehe, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
Evan only chuckled and waved her hand.
"I didn't expect you to be such a powerful mage. Speaking of which, you were also the one who found the lost things for us back in the town at the western entrance..."
After hearing Layla's explanation, Jude also smiled and recalled the past.
"Eh? Is there such a thing?"
Layla did not expect such an interesting thing to happen between Jude and Evan. It was really fate.
"No, that's right. Actually, I accidentally lost our daughter's photo that time..."
After listening to Jude's words, Layla blushed. She lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.
"Ah You actually dare to lose Lucy's photo?"
Layla, who was originally gentle and elegant, immediately became angry after hearing what Jude said. She looked at Jude and asked.
"No, no, no. That's why I said, thanks to Evan helping me get the photo back, and I also gave a certain compensation according to the meaning of Evan's already Fairy Tail!"
Jude looked at Layla, who was 'flipping out', and panicked. He quickly winked at Evan.
"Eh, hehe..."
Evan looked at Jude and knew that Jude was a henpecked husband. However, Jude was actually the son-in-law of the Heartfillia Family. Wasn't it normal for him to be a little stricter with Layla?
In this regard, Evan smiled and said to Layla, "Mr. Jude helped us pay the ticket back then and also helped us reserve the expenses for the journey..."
"Look! Layla, I have feedback for Evan and the others..."
After Evan spoke, Jude immediately looked at Layla and said.
"Sigh, you..."
Layla sighed helplessly after listening to Jude. It was because of Jude that she could not let go of Jude! She always felt that if Jude left her, he would definitely walk the wrong path!
"Mom, is there a guest?"
"Miss, Miss, put on your shoes. Be careful not to catch a cold..."
While Layla, Jude, and Evan were drinking black tea and chatting, a girl with long golden hair ran down the stairs with bare feet under the helpless pursuit of the maid.
Although the girl did not have long legs, her steps were quite fast. The maid in the long dress could only helplessly chase, but she could not catch up no matter what.
"Good Lucy, good girl..."
After hearing Lucy's words, Layla quickly stroked Lucy's back and tried to persuade her.
"Haha, if it was a magic performance, I would at least be able to order..."
Evan looked at Lucy, who was sobbing while holding Layla, and laughed.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lucy immediately straightened up and sobbed. She turned around and looked at Evan curiously.
"If it's a magic performance..."
Evan waved her hand and a flame magic array appeared in the room. Then, with a roar, it shot towards the sky. The moment it touched the ceiling, the fireball exploded.
At the same time, it scattered like fireworks, forming the tail of a fairy made of flames in the middle.
"How is it?"
Evan asked Lucy after finishing her performance.
"How boring. Fireworks can do the same thing."
After watching Evan's magic, Lucy revealed a pair of bored eyes and looked at Evan.
"This little kid, Lucy was really not cute when she was young. No wonder the heavens wanted to give you a demon and torture you for the rest of your life..."
After listening to Lucy, the corners of Evan's eyes twitched slightly. He now understood the feeling of Jude wanting to beat up little Lucy.
"Lucy, what are you saying?"
After listening to Lucy, Jude frowned and criticized her.
"Of course! Magic is omnipotent and magical. The magic just now was not magical at all."
After listening to Jude's words, Lucy spoke in a tender voice.
"Lucy magic is not as omnipotent as you think. There is no omnipotent magic in this world!"
After listening to Lucy, Jude frowned and said sternly.
"Magic should be able to do it. What we usually can't do is called magic! This is how it is written in the story book! If there is magic, if there is magic, dad and mom won't have to worry every day, right? Can everyone smile like before?"
After listening to Lucy, Jude's tears began to flow again.
"Lucy!"
Hearing Lucy's words, Jude was stunned. He had thought that he had been very secretive, but he did not expect Lucy to discover his anxiety. This made him feel a pain in his heart.
"I'm sorry, it's father's fault. Please forgive father..."
Jude bent down and walked in front of Lucy.
"Hmph..."
Lucy ignored him, but her soft little hands hugged her even tighter.
Layla did not say anything. She only hugged Lucy lovingly and caressed Lucy's back.
"This child..."
"So you think magic is such a magical thing?"
Evan, on the other side, was stunned after hearing Lucy's words. He did not expect magic to be so magical in the eyes of the young Lucy.
It would be too cruel to expose a child's pursuit of magic like this...
Evan thought of her thoughts when she was younger with Lucy in her previous life. She was also full of fantasies about all kinds of magical things, hoping that one day the things that she had imagined could appear in front of him.
It was a pity that what he had been looking forward to when he was young was not present, but he could fulfill Lucy's dream.
"Lucy, magic is indeed omnipotent. Magic is the power of the soul. As long as you firmly believe that magic is omnipotent, then you can definitely find that so-called omnipotent magic!"
Just as Jude was at a loss on how to coax Lucy, Evan suddenly spoke.
This made Lucy, who was crying on Layla's arm, turn around and look at Evan...
