In question 122 of Mugimeshi-san's question corner, somebody asked whether the
fairy king's lifespan is longer than the rest of the fairies. Which gets
answered with " _It might be the longest out of all the different species._ "

But how old can these fairies become?

How old can fairies become?


As of now, there's no official answer, but **at least older than 4200 years**.

Summarizing from the [Wikia](http://nanatsu-no-
taizai.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Clan) about Fairy Clan:

> **Longevity** : The average lifespan of a Fairy is between 1000 to 1500
> years. They do not appear to physically age and they never suffer from
> illness.

Now, comparing the known fairies' age:

  * Invisible: ?
  * Cisca: ?
  * Dahlia: ? (former, 2nd king/queen)
  * Melik: ?
  * Elaine: ±1000
  * Ende: 1000+
  * Puora: 1000+
  * Helbram: ±1300 (deceased)
  * King: 1300+ (current king)
  * Gloxinia: ±1400 (former, 1st king)
  * Gerheade: ±4200

Although most of them are mentioned in between 1000-1500 range, Gerheade is an
exception, and she's not even a king.

Thus, assuming there's nothing that prevents their natural aging (e.g. Elaine,
Helbram), and since they don't suffer any illness, fairy king should even be
possible to live more than 5000 years.
