Episode 140

A Favor for Julius (ユリウスの頼み事) is the 140th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Julius Novachrono asks Marx Francois to do some favors for him. First, Marx escorts Sally and Makusa North to the Black Bulls base so that Sally can experiment on them in order to help develop a mana-increasing magic tool for fighting the Spade Kingdom. After trapping Marx and Makusa in Gel Magic, Sally chases after the Black Bulls and tests injecting different liquids, which cause their magic power to explode and leave them unconscious. Having saved Asta for last, Sally only takes a clipping of his hair, although she is tempted to take more. After everyone recovers, Makusa takes Sally's data back to the capital.

The second task is to travel with Fuegoleon Vermillion and Nozel Silva to a village in the Forsaken Realm and investigate trouble there. The three Magic Knights discover that the village is still in ruins following the elves' attacks and that Julius frequented the village while disguised as an old woman named Chronovala. That night, the bandits attack the Magic Knights and are revealed to be the impoverished villagers. The two royal captains decide to overlook the attack if the villagers atone by helping other villages, and additional Magic Knights are sent to aid the reconstruction effort.
