Chapter 188 Ancestral Land

The royal palace of the Kingdom of Fiore is magnificent and richly decorated.

Outside the palace, soldiers lined up to welcome him, while inside the palace, long banquet tables were filled with all kinds of delicious food. The lights were brilliant, court musicians played beautiful music, and the whole scene was filled with joy and gratitude.

The members of Fairy Tail walked into the magnificent palace under the guidance of the palace guards. Makarov, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy and others all seemed a little reserved, but more excited and curious.

"Wow, this place is so luxurious!" Natsu looked around excitedly.

"It's really beautiful." Lucy exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Makarov walked in front and bowed to the king solemnly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality."

The king smiled and nodded, his face full of gratitude: "Today is a day worth celebrating. Thank you Fairy Tail for saving our kingdom. Please enjoy your meal and don't be restrained."

After the banquet started, various delicacies were served on the table, including roasted whole lamb, golden and crispy roasted chicken, delicious seafood soup, fruit platter with good color, aroma and taste, and various champagnes and fine wines.

Ye Fan sat next to Lucy, watching her happily tasting various delicacies, and felt a little warm in his heart.

Lucy was wearing a light blue dress today, which made her look particularly beautiful. Her skin was fair, her figure was slim, and her golden hair shone like the sun. She looked like a fairy from heaven.

"Look at this pendant, it's beautiful, right?" Ye Fan asked with a smile. He took out the magic pendant he had bought on the street and handed it to Lucy.

"It's really beautiful, thank you, Ye Fan." Lucy took the pendant with a happy smile on her face.

The king raised his glass and saluted Fairy Tail: "Cheers to the brave heroes!"

"Cheers!" everyone responded in unison and raised their glasses to drink.

At the banquet, Makarov and the king had many conversations, discussing how to further cooperate and jointly protect the security of the kingdom.

Natsu and Gray were busy tasting all kinds of food, playing and laughing from time to time, showing the unique vitality and enthusiasm of Fairy Tail. Erza was communicating with the court knights, discussing tactics and strategies.

The banquet lasted until late at night, with laughter and a warm atmosphere in the palace. The members of Fairy Tail enjoyed this rare happy time, temporarily forgetting the fatigue of the battle and the challenges of the future.

Ye Fan sat in the corner of the banquet, watching all this quietly. He knew in his heart that although they won today, the challenges in the future would still be arduous.

However, as long as he has these companions by his side, he believes that they can overcome all difficulties and protect this beautiful world together.

After the banquet, everyone reluctantly said goodbye to the king and returned to the Fairy Tail Guild.

Although tired, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face. Tonight's banquet is not only a recognition of their heroic deeds, but also an encouragement and support for their future.

With admiration and anticipation, the members of Fairy Tail set out on a journey to the island, the ancestral home of the guild.

This small island is located southeast of the Kingdom of Fiore, hidden among dense forests and towering mountains. Legend has it that this is where Fairy Tail founder Mavis Viviamilio first established a union.

The boat was sailing on the blue sea, the sky was clear, and the breeze was blowing. Natsu stood on the bow excitedly, looking at the island gradually appearing in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Great, we are finally reaching our ancestral land!"

"I hope we can find more history and secrets about Fairy Tail this time." Lucy stood beside Ye Fan, her eyes full of anticipation.

After the boat docked, everyone set foot on this mysterious island. The island was lush with vegetation, birds singing and flowers blooming. A winding path led deep into the forest. Following the path, everyone came to an open valley soon.

In the center of the valley stands an ancient stone tablet, engraved with the emblem of the Fairy Tail Guild and the name of the founder. Surrounding the stone tablet is a peaceful meadow, surrounded by tall trees, as if guarding this sacred land.

"Is this the ancestral land of the union?" Gray looked at the stone tablet with deep emotion.

Makarov walked to the stone tablet, gently stroked the words on it, and said affectionately: "Yes, this is the origin of our Fairy Tail, and it is also the source of our strength and faith."

Ye Fan looked around, feeling the tranquility and sacredness of this land. He seemed to be able to feel the power and wisdom of the legendary founder Mavis.

"This place is really special." Ye Fan said softly.

Erza stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Founder, for leaving us this holy land. We will continue to protect Fairy Tail and pass on its spirit and beliefs."

Natsu clenched his fists and said excitedly, "That's right! We must become stronger, protect the union, and protect everyone!"

Everyone nodded, they found new strength and determination in this sacred land, and everyone's heart was filled with expectations and confidence for the future.

Afterwards, Makarov led everyone in a simple and solemn ceremony to commemorate the founder and predecessors.

Everyone sat around the stone tablet, sharing the union's historical stories and each other's feelings. The atmosphere was warm and touching.

As night fell and the moonlight shone in the valley, everyone lit a bonfire and sat around it, talking about past adventures and future dreams. Ye Fan looked at the dancing flames in the bonfire, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.

He knew that this union, these companions, would be a strong support for his future battles and adventures.

In this sacred ancestral land, the members of Fairy Tail have regained their inner strength and faith. They know that no matter how many challenges and difficulties lie ahead, they will face them together, fight together, and jointly protect the union and the world they love.

Ye Fan and Lucy sat side by side by the campfire, the firelight shining on their faces, looking particularly warm. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, and the flames danced, dyeing the surrounding grass and trees with golden light.

Lucy moved closer, looked up at Ye Fan slightly, and smiled gently: "Ye Fan, thank you so much for this period of time. Without your help, our Fairy Tail may face more difficulties."

Ye Fan turned his head and looked gentle: "It's nothing, I am also a member of Fairy Tail. We are a team and face all challenges together."

Lu Xi looked down at the pendant in her hand, which Ye Fan had chosen for her at the market not long ago. The pendant flickered with a subtle light in the firelight, and it looked particularly beautiful. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "This pendant is really beautiful, thank you."

Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "I think it suits you very well, Lucy."

The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding between them was self-evident. Beside the campfire, other members of Fairy Tail were also sharing their stories and feelings with laughter. Erza was discussing a new training plan with Natsu, while Gray was laughing and joking with them, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

At this time, Ye Fan and Lu Xi's eyes met again, and Ye Fan gently held Lu Xi's hand, feeling the warmth in her palm. Lu Xi's heartbeat quickened a little, but she did not refuse, but moved closer.

"Lucy, no matter what happens next, we will face it together." Ye Fan whispered in a firm voice.

"Well, let's do it together." Lucy nodded, with a determined light in her eyes.

The flames danced in front of them, reflecting the smiles and determination on their faces. No matter how many challenges and unknowns there were ahead, Ye Fan and Lu Xi knew that as long as they were together, nothing was invincible.

Under the starry sky at night, the firelight stretched their figures, blending into this sacred land and becoming part of Fairy Tail.
