Chapter 6 Temporary Home
Chapter 6 Temporary Home
”Without a doubt, it is a magic item of very good quality.”
Magic power does not lie. Makarov can tell at a glance whether the pendant is a magic item or not.
Perhaps Rhodes was able to survive in such a beast tide because of this pendant – even though he himself did not know how to use it.
Rhodes took off the necklace, the thin metal chain piled up in a ball, the pendant lay quietly in the palm of his hand, the golden letters and the blue round bottom reflected the starry natural light.
I read it over and over again, and besides being strangely beautiful, I couldn’t understand what was special about it.
”Tatsuya, that guy, didn’t you give me the instructions at that time!” Rhodes burst out in his native language.
Makarov and Mirajane looked at him in confusion.
Rhodes handed the necklace to Makarov and asked, “President, do you know how to make the best use of this thing?”
”You don’t need to know magic to use magic props, but when you can use it, you can be considered to know magic.”
Makarov took the necklace and said a string of words like a tongue twister.
Rhodes thought about the logic, and then saw that the necklace in his hand was ordinary, but it glowed in the other’s hand.
”So that’s it, it’s a prop similar to the Celestial Key, and only you can use this pendant.”
”Celestial Key?” Rhodes didn’t understand, what is that?
Mirajane kindly helped to explain, and even drew a diagram for Rhodes with a light pen:
”Celestial magic is the magic of signing a contract with the Celestials and summoning them from the Celestial Realm to help. People who use Celestial magic need to hold a special key, which is a kind of holding magic.”
Mirajane’s painting skills are a bit bad, compared with Lidas, it can be said to be abstract.
This led to Rhodes not understanding what kind of creatures the Protoss were, but he could roughly understand what kind of magic that was.
He used a word that he could understand: “Summoner?”
”That’s about it.” Makarov returned the necklace to Rhodes,
”I will teach you the basics of magic, and I will also tell you the tricks of Protoss magic that I know.
In addition, there are also materials about Protoss magic in the guild library… How about learning this kind of magic?”
”Yes.” Rhodes nodded.
Summoner, what can this LOL game icon-shaped pendant be used to summon, Rhodes can almost think of it.
With more than a hundred heroes, if there are a few powerful ones, they should be invincible, right?
”Then it’s decided, I will teach you magic later. Now let’s talk about some practical issues.”
”Practical issues?”—— Rhodes was kicked out.
His injuries had almost healed, so he needed to move out and could not occupy the infirmary all the time.
Rhode was somewhat nervous about finding a house to live in a strange city, or a strange world.
Fortunately, the president introduced him to a house not far from the guild, less than one kilometer away in a straight line.
Rhode had already visited it. It should be a street-facing storefront, with the first floor used as a shop and the second floor for living.
The landlord is Goodman Riel, a young man in his twenties.
He had lived here for several years, but moved out after getting married and only came here during the day when the shop was open.
The house has a kitchen, bathroom, and bath, and the bathroom even has a bathtub. The bedroom is not big, but it is more than enough for one person to live in.
The rent is 80,000 J per month. Rhode is not very sensitive to the currency here, but according to Mirajane, this price is very cheap in Magnolia.
For this price, the landlord gave the reason that the second floor was idle anyway, and living with a wizard would increase the sense of security.
Rhode thought that the other party might be considering the president’s face, because it was said that he would occasionally go to the guild’s tavern to drink.
However, even if the rent was not high, Rhode could not afford it.
The money used to pay the rent was lent to him by the president, a total of 150,000 J, and the remaining 70,000 was used for food and some daily necessities.
150,000 J, just hearing the number sounds big, but Rhode felt much more at ease after seeing the face value of the banknotes.
These thousand-yuan bills and ten-thousand-yuan bills… I guess the actual value must be much lower than RMB.
However, after borrowing the money like this, RhodeOnly then did he realize that he didn’t seem to have paid for the food and medicine he had eaten these days.
Especially those medicines, which were so effective, and the price must be expensive. In addition, the remuneration of Mr. Hibiki, who helped him learn the language, should also be paid by him.
But at that time, he didn’t understand anything, and his mind was very confused, so he forgot to ask how much it would cost.
”Who would owe a lot of debts just after crossing over…”
With mixed feelings, Rhodes went to a nearby store to buy toiletries such as towels, and also bought a few more clothes for changing.
Then he found that the money didn’t seem to last long.
A slightly thicker towel costs 500J, a toothbrush, toothpaste and cup set costs 1000J, soap 100J, shampoo 500J…
Add to that necessities such as toilet paper, sheets, pillows, and quilts, and he spent nearly 20,000.
“Is the remaining 50,000 J enough for a month’s food expenses?”
Rod recalled that the flame set meal that Natsu ate seemed to cost more than 1,000 J. Ordinary food was probably not that expensive, and he could make it himself if it didn’t work out.
Spending another 20,000 J on a few pieces of clothing should be enough… I’d better cut it in half and keep an extra 10,000 just in case.
“Fortunately, it’s summer now.” Rod was thankful for a second, and then he realized that he might have to buy another mosquito net.
Wealth shrank again.
After being busy for half a day, Rod finally bought everything he wanted to buy and took it back.
Before it got dark, Rod decided to go to the guild for dinner.
There were not as many people in the guild as in the daytime.
Among the remaining people, most of them wanted to have dinner here like Rod.
A small part of them were drunk, some were snoring, and some were arguing with others with red faces, and it seemed like they were about to fight at any time.
Natsu, who had been chasing after Rhode to ask questions, was not there either. He must have gotten the answer from the president.
Mirajane put the plates and cups on the tray on the guest table, then looked at Rhode: “Rhode, you’re back. Have you finished the moving?”
”Almost. I plan to have dinner here. Is that okay?”
”Of course. What do you want to eat?”
Rhode thought for a while: “It should be the same as the man just now. It seems delicious.”
”Okay, a super devil spicy curry rice.” Mirajane looked at the warrior with her eyes and clenched her fist to cheer him up. “You must finish what you ordered.”
”Wait a minute!” Rhode hurriedly stopped her. “You know my common language is not very good. I seem to have heard a thrilling word just now. What is that rice?”
Mirajane blinked and said innocently: “Curry “It’s spicy rice.”
”Where’s the modifier in front?”
”It’s just ‘super hot’.”
Rod raised a hand: “I don’t think the words ‘just’ and ‘only’ are used like this.”
Mirajane pointed at the person who ordered food in front: “It’s okay, don’t you see he’s eating very happily?”
Rod collapsed: “He’s breathing fire!”
”Hey~~ I thought Rod would like this.”
”Please absolutely, must, must help me change it to normal.”
”What a pity, I thought I could see a funny expression. Also, the sentence just now only needs to say ‘must’.”
Mirajane chuckled and left, not even forgetting to help Rod correct his language habits.
Rod couldn’t figure out whether this girl really had a bad personality or just liked to watch the fun.
She wasn’t like this yesterday…
Is it because I don’t need to be taken care of now?
Rod was in a complicated mood. Please return the gentle and considerate Mirajane to me…
