16. Chapter 16 Scout, Canyon Swift Crab
Chapter 16 Scout, Canyon Swift Crab
Just after asking that question, Rhode saw himself.
Not with his own eyes, nor in the feeling of looking in a mirror, but from a bottom-up angle.
My hand was on my head, and my arm blocked a little bit of my vision, but because the distance between my eyes was large enough, I could still see my face.
Is this… the perspective of the Swift Crab? It felt strange that two pictures suddenly appeared in my mind. Rhode retracted his hand and could immediately see his hand-retracting movements from two angles.
When the Swift Crab stood up, the perspective would also change subtly.
Rhode commanded the Swift Crab to turn around, and he and it stood back to back, and suddenly gained a full 300-degree field of vision.
Makarov nodded after listening to Rhode’s description: “So it’s a summoned beast of the scout type, and it should be very versatile.”
Then, the Swift Crab demonstrated its mobility again.
After letting Rhode sit on its back, the Swift Crab crashed through the guild wall and ran to the lake, performing a unique skill of floating on the water, waving its six legs and moving on the lake as if walking on flat ground.
Rhode held the two rein-like tentacles of the Swift Crab tightly with both hands, feeling the strong wind coming from the face and the occasional splashes of water on his body.
He didn’t know how fast it was, but it was more exciting than when he took a speedboat in East Lake – maybe because he didn’t wear a life jacket.
“It’s faster than ordinary horses and guineafowls, and it’s also good to be able to move on water. Its destructive power is average, but…”
Makarov gave a rational evaluation. Looking at the damaged courtyard wall, he shouted at Rod’s back, “… Even so, don’t destroy the guild casually!!!”
…
“Sorry, this is my first time riding a river crab, and I don’t know its movement habits. I didn’t mean it…”
Rod missed Rebecca.
Originally, we agreed to study together in the library, but now we can only build walls under the supervision of the president.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know how to do it. The president will teach him on the spot. He knows a little bit of carpentry and masonry – mainly because the president has destroyed the guild no less than others, and he has become a good doctor after a long illness.
“It’s okay, it’s just that I accidentally damaged a little wall.”
Rebecca was very tolerant of this, probably because she was used to similar accidents.
“It just so happens that I have found a suitable common sense book. I’ll find some suitable content to read to you now.”
”That’s great. Thank you, Lebi!”
Rod was very happy. He used to like to play songs and crosstalk on his mobile phone when doing things like cleaning. Now he is bored.
This girl is really considerate. No wonder Jet and Troy like her so much.
”First of all, this country is called the Kingdom of Fiore. It has a population of about 17 million and is located on the peninsula west of the continent. It was recognized as a neutral country about 160 years ago…”
Lebi’s voice of reading and explaining sounded a little pleasant.
Rod kept building the wall. Hearing the population of Fiore of 17 million, he felt that this country might not be too big.
This neutral country is good. There is no need to worry too much about war, probably.
“The city of Magnolia where we are is in the east of the Kingdom of Fiore, not far from the border with the neighboring country of Bosco, and has a population of about 60,000…”
Rhodes had heard Mira say this once, that magic has been prevalent in Magnolia since ancient times, and it is considered a very prosperous city in the Kingdom of Fiore.
“Then the next point is the key point.” Lei Bei emphasized, “Magic used to be something that people feared, so wizards were often persecuted in the past. In addition, wizards often fought each other, making the whole world unstable.”
”In order to change all this, 150 years ago, the world’s first wizard guild, ‘Magic Dragon’, was established.
The wizards began to unite, using magic to protect themselves and their companions, and also tried to communicate with ordinary people, and even solved troubles for ordinary people and earned rewards.”
”Since then, wizard guilds have appeared one after another, and magic has gradually become a part of people’s lives. This has slowly evolved into a situation where wizards and ordinary people live in harmony.”
”Then 97 years ago, that is, X6In 1986, our guild, Fairy Tail, was established. ”
“‘Do fairies have tails? In the final analysis, do fairies really exist? All of this is unknown, which means eternal mysteries and eternal adventures. ’ ——This is the meaning that the first president Mavis gave to Fairy Tail. ”
When she said the latter part, Levi’s eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that she really liked this guild.
This was the first time that Rhode heard the meaning of the name Fairy Tail, and it felt a little romantic.
It was so romantic that he didn’t remember many of the history of Fiore that Levi told him.
But it was not without gain, at least Rhode understood that this was a country with a bit of feudal monarchy.
There are kings, ministers, knights, and armies here.
Naturally, there are people in the royal family and those who serve the royal power who learn magic.
Wizards are more respected in many places, but they are still citizens of this country and are subject to the jurisdiction of the royal family. They do not enjoy the same privileges as nobles with titles.
At the same time, in order to maintain the stability of the magic world, there is also an organization called the Magic Council that is responsible for monitoring the behavior of wizards, sanctioning dark guilds, etc.
However, when Levi mentioned the Council, her expression became strange. She seemed to dislike this organization and even feared it.
Rhode was confused. What are you afraid of from an organization that punishes dark guilds? Isn’t Fairy Tail a formal guild?
It’s bad.
Rhode found that he forgot to ask this question – Fairy Tail… is it a formal guild? …
It’s a very pleasant thing to get along with Levi.
Whether the little girl is explaining history and geography or the basics of magic, she is very methodical.
Rhode, who has almost no basics, doesn’t find it obscure to understand.
And during the explanation, she often cites many related stories, which makes Rhode marvel that Levi’s knowledge is even broader than his in his senior year.
When Rhode had almost repaired the damaged wall, Levi said she was tired and looked at him eagerly.
”…Oh, yes, Chinese.” Rhode understood her eyes, “Shall I go wash my face first? ”
Actually, he wanted to take a shower and change clothes. He was very uncomfortable with the mud after being busy for a long time.
”If you want to wash your face, I’ll help you! Three-dimensional text · WATER!” Leibi waved her arms and wrote the word for “water” in the air with her fingers.
The words with magical light when writing really turned into letters composed of clear water after she finished writing.
And with Leibi’s control, they floated in front of Rhodes: “Use this.”
Rhodes looked at the word “water” composed of water in front of him and tentatively put his hand in…
It can actually wash your hands like in a basin, and you can even scoop a handful of water and splash it on your face to wash your face at the same time.
”What a convenient magic, it’s just… what is it, yes, it’s as effective as your words.”
”Hehe… it’s not that exaggerated. “Rebecca was a little embarrassed to be praised. After Rhode washed her face, she controlled the water characters to fly into the lake like ordinary water.
”And I don’t use it well. I can only provide a little assistance when my companions are fighting.”
”I think this kind of magic will definitely come in handy.”
Rhode felt that the three-dimensional characters were very similar to the plots in some novels where people picked up pens to write and used them for fighting. It should have great potential.
”Then let me teach you the pronunciation of Chinese characters first.”
Rhode took the light pen that Rebecca had just used and wrote the initials and finals of Chinese pinyin in the air.
After thinking about it, he marked it with the basic syllables of the language of this world, and then taught her to read one by one.
Rebecca read and took notes with great interest, and did not stop until Laqi came to call Rhode to work.
